Chapter 646: The Empress is Arrested
Looking at Baoqing like that just now, Xuanyuan Jue's heart was also very uncomfortable, but now he couldn't do anything except silently stay outside the house and pray that she could slowly calm down. Baoqing saw his excited look just now, and he didn't want to stimulate Baoqing anymore.
"Eighth Prince, you better go back first. I think the last person Baoqing wants to see now is you. The code whispered without hesitation.
"I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay here." Although Xuanyuan Jue knew that his presence would affect Baoqing's mood, he didn't want to leave Baoqing's side at this time, so he said to the secret words very firmly: "I won't appear in front of Baoqing, but I want to stay here with her." I'll only be in front of her when she's willing to see me. ”
Whispering looked at Xuanyuan Jue's firm gaze and hesitated a little, he also knew a little about Xuanyuan Jue and Baoqing, especially when he rescued Baoqing from the imperial concubine's palace that night, he deliberately paid attention to Xuanyuan Jue, and found that he was the one who took Baoqing out of the dark room, and the worry and panic on his face could not be deceived.
"Okay." The code nodded and agreed to Xuanyuan Jue staying in the mansion, "I will ask Baoyue to prepare a room for you, you can live here, so that it is closer to Baoqing." I think when Baoqing slowly calms down, she will definitely be willing to see you. ”
Xuanyuan Jue smiled bitterly, and said without any hope: "Now I hope that all her injuries will be healed, so that she will have a better chance of seeing me." ”
Listening to the conversation between Xuanyuan Jue and the secret words, Baoyue asked with a deep frown: "Baoqing is like this, do you want to write to the master and the young lady, maybe with the comfort of the young lady, Baoqing's mood can be better?" ”
"Not yet!" Secret Whisper and Xuanyuan Jue opened their mouths in unison to stop, the two glanced at each other, and explained in Secret Whisper: "Now the master and the Nine Emperor Princesses are still on the way to the imperial tomb, don't tell them about the affairs in the mansion for the time being, so as not to worry them, we will take care of Baoqing for a few days first, and if we find that we can't cope with it, it will not be too late to write to the master." ”
"The code words are right. Even if I write to them now, I don't know if they will receive it, so let's see the situation first. Xuanyuan Jue echoed.
Seeing that both of them said so, Baoyue had no choice but to nod and comply.
"Which concubine's palace did the emperor spend the night in tonight?" The queen looked outside, but she couldn't see anything except pitch black, and asked the grandmother beside her casually.
"The emperor went to the palace of the imperial concubine this evening, and did not let the other concubines serve, and now I am afraid that he is still staying alone in the palace of the imperial concubine." Mama looked at the queen's displeased expression and said cautiously, so as not to let her anger affect herself.
"It's Huang Lifei again, they are all people who have been dead for so long, why can't the emperor forget her? At this time of year, the emperor always locks himself in her bedroom to accompany her, what is so great about her, so that the emperor will never forget her. The queen angrily smashed the cup in her hand and said angrily.
"Queen, please calm your anger, don't hurt your body for this matter." Mama hurriedly comforted the queen, "As long as the queen endures for a few more days, when the death of the imperial concubine passes, the emperor will return to the same as before, isn't it just as long as he has come over for so many years?" ”
"Patience, how long will it take to endure this palace?" The queen said dissatisfiedly, taking a deep breath to slowly calm down her emotions before asking, "What has happened to the Third Prince and the Eighth Prince recently?" ”
"The third prince still goes to the prison every day to visit the imperial concubine, and then rarely comes out when he returns to the house, it doesn't seem to be abnormal, but it is the eighth prince, I heard that the eighth prince lives in the ninth prince and rarely returns to the house." Mama glanced at the cup fragments on the ground and said, "Empress, it seems that the Eighth Emperor really likes the maid in the Nine Emperors' Mansion." I really don't know what the Nine Emperor Princesses are capable of, not only can she make the Nine Emperor Princes wholeheartedly devoted to her, but even the maids around her can make the Eighth Emperor Princesses fascinated, will the Nine Emperor Princesses have any witchcraft? ”
The queen glared at her grandmother, so that she didn't dare to continue to talk nonsense, and said mockingly: "The emperor is an infatuated species, but I didn't expect that the emperor's two sons are also infatuated." However, the emperor is not as good as his two sons, whether it is the ninth prince or the eighth prince, at least they have only one woman, but the emperor has countless women. ”
"Queen, don't say this kind of disrespectful words in the future, be careful that the wall has ears." Mama stopped the queen in a panic, looked around, and was worried that someone would overhear and tell the emperor in an unknown corner that this was a big crime to kill the head.
"Afraid of what? The emperor didn't bother with this at all now. The queen said indifferently, "He is now in the palace with the imperial concubine all day long, and he doesn't care about the outside affairs at all, so what else does he care about what I say." ”
"Don't be angry, the old slave thinks that the emperor is very good now." Mama saw the queen looking at herself puzzled, and said with a wicked smile: "The emperor has no intention of dealing with political affairs now, before the third prince proposed to let the emperor release the imperial concubine, and wanted to be punished and imprisoned for the imperial concubine, but the emperor refused. If the emperor's current state can be maintained until the Nine Emperor Princes and the Nine Emperor Concubines come back, then the plans of the three princes will be completely disrupted, and the imperial concubines will not be easily released. ”
The queen thought seriously about Mama's words, and after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it made some sense, and a somewhat unkind smile appeared on her face, "You are right, it is because the emperor has no intention of knowing other things now, so the imperial concubine can still stay in prison now, once the emperor returns to normal, I don't know who can prevent the imperial concubine from being released." ”
"Can't you even be the queen?" Mama asked with some disbelief: "Will the emperor let go of the imperial concubine so easily?" Even if the third prince wants to go to prison for the imperial concubine, the emperor will not agree. ”
The queen smiled coldly and said, "This is the genius of the third prince. After the queen sat down on the chair, she continued: "Once the emperor agrees to let the three princes go to prison for the imperial concubine, what do you think the emperor can do with the three princes?" Do you think the emperor will really do anything to the imperial concubine and the three princes for a maid? Do you think that the Nine Emperor Princes and the Nine Emperor Concubines will go to the Imperial Mausoleum really just to pay tribute to the Imperial Concubine? The emperor's mind is so deep, how many people can guess it all? ”
Mama looked at the queen with a surprised and blank expression, and said with some incredulity: "The slave doesn't understand the meaning of the queen's words. ”
"You don't need to understand, you just need to do things for me." The queen said proudly, but she was thinking about something else. I don't know how long I thought about it, but the queen suddenly got up and left her palace.
Standing outside the palace gate of Concubine Huang Li, Mama kept pulling her to prevent her from entering, and persuaded the queen bitterly, "Queen, don't go in, the emperor is inside now, she must be in a bad mood at this time, if you go in at this time and disturb the emperor to miss Concubine Huang Li, the emperor will definitely be very angry." ”
The queen looked inside with anger on her face, but she couldn't see it above, thinking about Mama's words in her head, thinking for a long time, she still mustered up the courage to walk in, and sure enough, she saw the emperor sitting in the seat where she used to sit with Huang Lifei, with a heavy expression on her face, and her eyes looked at the portrait of Huang Lifei hanging in front of her, and everything in the room did not change anything, as if Huang Lifei had never left.
"Your Majesty!" The queen called the emperor softly, but the emperor didn't say anything as if he hadn't heard it, and still looked at the portrait of the imperial concubine intently.
Looking at such an emperor, the queen did not call him again, so as not to make him unhappy, but silently walked to the side of the chair and sat down, quietly accompanying the emperor, wanting to wait, waiting for when the emperor would find out about his existence.
"Is there anything the Queen is looking for me here?" After a long time, the emperor asked in a low voice: "This is not the place you should come, leave quickly." ”
"The concubine is not leaving!" The queen refused the emperor without hesitation, "The emperor locks himself here every year and misses the imperial concubine alone, the concubine knows that the emperor is very sad and sad every time he comes, the concubine doesn't want to see the emperor like this, if the emperor doesn't want to leave here, let the concubine accompany you." ”
"No, I don't." The emperor also refused without hesitation, "I just want to stay here quietly alone, I don't need your company, this is a place that belongs to me and Huang Lifei, I don't want to see anyone stay here, I don't think Huang Li wants other women in her palace to go out." The last sentence went out, and the emperor said it very harshly, which made the queen's body shocked.
The queen was full of anger in her heart, but she endured it all in her heart, now is not the time to have a fight with the emperor, she also hopes that the respect and trust she can get from the emperor will win some power for Xuanyuan Qi.
"The emperor asked the concubines to leave, and the concubines would leave, but even if they were hated and hated by the emperor, the concubines had to say a word, the emperor is not the only woman in the imperial concubine, there are thousands of women in your harem who are all showing you to see them. If she could, the concubine would rather swap with the imperial concubine, even if she couldn't stay by the emperor's side all the time, she could get the emperor's long-term thoughts, and the concubine would rather die. The queen looked at the emperor sadly and said.
"Although I have many women, but there is only one Imperial Concubine, all my feelings have been given to her, whether it is the queen or other women in the harem, don't always delusion about my feelings, I can spoil you, but I will never fall in love with you." The emperor said indifferently, "If you can obediently guard your duty, I will not treat you badly, but if you have other thoughts, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless when the time comes." ”
When the already angry queen heard the emperor say such ruthless words, a glimmer of hope in her heart immediately disappeared, and her eyes became more indifferent and looked at the emperor and said: "The emperor said so, the concubines will definitely abide by their duties." After speaking, the queen left the palace of the imperial concubine without any nostalgia.
Even if he knew that the queen was angry, the emperor didn't care, he still looked at the portrait of the imperial concubine with gentle eyes, and said to himself: "I have let our prince go to the imperial mausoleum to pay tribute to you, you will be very happy, this time there will be him soon, and his nine princesses will go together, although I don't want the emperor to be too emotional, but this nine princesses are enough to accompany our emperor." ”
"Queen, Queen, slow down." Seeing the queen walking towards the front angrily, Mama chased after her worriedly, and whispered to the side to persuade, "Why should the queen be angry with the emperor, everyone knows that what the emperor said at this time is very hurtful, so why should the queen take it to heart." ”
