After Princess Chu said goodbye, Empress Cao sat quietly for a long time, without even rolling her eyes. In the huge palace, only the green smoke from the incense burner flowed with the air.

made such a decision, and Empress Cao's heart was not happy. I closed my eyes and passed the mountain plum up.

"Immediately announce that the Lu clan and Wu Chao entered the palace. ”

If you want to set a trap for the prince and wipe out all the thieves who attack you, you must cooperate with Wu Sheng. It is inconvenient for Empress Cao to meet with her ministers, but it is normal to summon a lady with an edict, and she doesn't even have to think of any excuses.

In less than an hour, the Lu family appeared in Changle Palace, and Shanmei personally led Wu Chao down to play.

She and Empress Cao are not related, and some are just the duties of monarchs and ministers. summoned her so urgently, there was not even a single palace maid left in the palace to serve, there must be something. She pressed her heart down and saluted respectfully.

"The courtiers have seen the queen's mother, and the mother is blessed with Jin'an. ”

"Get up and speak. Empress Cao motioned for her to approach and sit on the spring bench next to the phoenix chair.

The Lu family is the daughter of everyone, and even if she is afraid, she still has a good demeanor. They sat down and sat on the edge of a stool.

She was worried when she heard Empress Cao ask, "Princess Zhongguo, can I trust you?"

Lu Shi hurriedly got up and replied respectfully: "The courtiers are at the mercy of the mother. She didn't dare to raise her eyes, only to see the extremely serious contour of Empress Cao's chin.

"You send someone to find General Wu to return to his house and hand over this letter to him personally. Empress Cao's tone was very light, but her eyes stared at her for a moment, and she asked slowly, "Can you do it?"

Empress Cao was so solemn, and the Lu family knew that something big must have happened. She didn't ask much, and respectfully took the letter sealed with red paint with both hands, and hid it in her arms.

"After reading the letter, it was immediately burned. Queen Cao served tea to the guests and said casually: "Xiao Shizi is really cute, and the mourning family left him to play in the palace." You can pick it up at the end door after you finish your errands, and someone from the mourning family will send it out for you. ”

In the previous entrusted matters, Queen Cao is commensurate with you and me, which shows intimacy. But in the end, it was the self-proclaimed mourning family and the appearance of Feng Wei, who had been in charge of the palace for 20 years, that made the Lu family tremble.

Lu Shi's body trembled, and her heart and liver trembled.

She knew in her heart that if this matter was not done well, she would betray Queen Cao. I'm afraid that I will never see Brother Chao again.

Hostages, what an ancient and effective means.

Lu didn't dare to delay any longer. She's just a messenger, but she's smelling something ominous in it. At such an extraordinary moment, she still sent the letter earlier and took Wu Chao back to the Zhongguo Mansion. It seems that there will be a lot of chaos in Kyosato.

As soon as the letter is sent, there is no turning back.

Empress Cao shook her head, wanting to shake Emperor Qinglong's tenderness towards her out of her mind.

……

Tailing is built in the northwest of the capital, backed by the mountain and surrounded by Luoshui tributaries. The dragon veins are endless, and it is a rare treasure of feng shui.

There are Zhaoling and Qianling in Tailing. Take the mountain as the mausoleum, take the mountain as the que, condescendingly overlook the whole Luoyang, the mountains on both sides are undulating, and the burial tombs are placed on both sides, setting off the supreme momentum of the imperial mausoleum.

In Zhaoling, the first emperor has been buried first. Leave a dungeon door not closed, and after a hundred years of Empress Dowager Xiao, she will be buried in the mausoleum with the first emperor.

In the burial tombs of Zhaoling, there are concubines who were sealed by the first emperor but have no children. But more of the martyrs were the palace people and chamberlains who served at that time.

Qianling is the tomb built by Emperor Qinglong for himself. is qualified to be buried with him, and only Empress Cao is alone. As the crown princess, Fu is eligible to enter the Tailing Tomb and receive incense from descendants, but can only enter the burial tombs.

Tailing is not far from the imperial city. They set off before dawn, and even if the funeral procession walked slowly, they returned to the capital in the afternoon.

The prince was dressed in a vegetarian body and had a cold expression. Outsiders looked at it, but they looked too sad, only Wei Jiaren knew that the mother concubine was killed by him, so why was it sad?

As soon as he returned to the capital, Wei Jiaren hurriedly returned to the prince's mansion under the pretext of keeping filial piety for his mother. For some reason, when he saw the Shenwu army surrounding the Prince's Mansion, he felt at ease.

……

The prince, dressed in white, looks more and more handsome and extraordinary. In the depths of his eyes, the flames of desire danced. His fingers gripped the reins tightly, and he didn't notice that his bones were white from the cold.

Emperor Qinglong allowed him to enter the palace to ask to see him, and along the way, the prince passed unhindered and went straight to the imperial study.

In the palace, Wu Guangqi personally guarded an inconspicuous soft sedan chair, and when he arrived at the back door of the imperial study, he bowed down and said, "Please get off the sedan chair." ”

Jiang Bingwei slowly stretched out her hand to open the sedan curtain, looking at the magnificent hall in front of her, her chest was full of crazy hatred.

It was she who had been by his side and had spent many difficult days and nights. Seeing that victory was in sight, he was picked up by the Cao family for this sweet fruit.

This nine-fold palace, she didn't even see it with her own eyes until today.

Lowering her eyes, she walked forward behind Wu Guangqi without saying a word, and saw the palace people on both sides who were tied up and saluted, and her heart became more and more hateful.

He ascended the throne, and even this lowly eunuch followed the scenery. She, the wife of the knotted wife, was locked up in the Taimiao and could not see the light.

"Layman, please sit here for a while. ”

Jiang Bingwei raised her eyes and looked here, the bright yellow brocade cushion was placed on the Nanmu high-back chair, and there was an Arhat bed behind the screen, which was obviously the temporary resting place of Emperor Qinglong.

Jiang Bingwei is not a teenage girl who loves to dream, and she doesn't think that Emperor Qinglong has any beautiful thoughts.

She spent too long in the Taimiao, and she almost forgot the first half of her life, and she also had such slaves in groups of brocade clothes and jade food.

Taciturn, already carved into her bone marrow. Wu Guangqi didn't say, so she didn't ask.

She sat down in her chair, and Wu Guangqi served her tea and pastries before bowing down.

The room was quiet, perhaps because her identity was sensitive and needed to be kept secret, and no other palace people came in to serve. However, she is also used to it. In Taimiao Qingxiu, there are more places where she needs to do it herself.

She didn't know how long she had been sitting, but fortunately she had already practiced zazen. It's warm and pleasant here, and it's better than the cold and lonely Taimiao, I don't know how much.

A hollowed-out carved five-clawed golden dragon wooden wall separates this from the outside. She heard a voice outside, and looked out along the hollow gap, and she finally saw the back of the negative man!

Hatefully, he didn't turn to look at her, sat down and read the recitals on his own.

Jiang Bingwei thought hatefully, took him into the palace and didn't see her, and arranged for her to come here but seemed to forget about it. This man is acting more and more unpredictable!

"Prince Xuan is here!"

Jiang Bingwei's heart jumped, and she slightly understood some of Emperor Qinglong's intentions. Could it be that he deliberately took himself into the palace to let him meet the prince?
