Chapter 44: The Storm and Storm (12)
"The concubine has already asked the maid to get it, and I guess she should come back at this time." Xue'er looked at the door, the door opened at this time, Xue'er turned to look at the emperor and said, "Look, isn't this coming back?" Then Lianbu moved lightly, went to the door, took the soup bowl in the maid's hand, took the spoon, and slowly blew the soup in the bowl. When the emperor saw Xue'er's appearance, his heart softened a little.
Perhaps the emperor finally discovered the effect of this tonic medicine, and today he did not drink it little by little with a spoon, but took the bowl and drank the decoction in the bowl in three or two sips.
Then he placed the soup bowl on the table next to him, ripped off the tulle on the Snow Princess, and buried his head in the abundance of Xue'er and gnawed it. Xue'er exhaled in pain, but in exchange for a more ferocious gnawing. The emperor's desire for * today seemed to be extremely fierce, and he didn't even have time to return to the bed only a few steps away, so he entered Xue'er's valley again and again on the small couch covered with snow-white fox fur. The couch seemed to be unable to withstand such a fierce movement of the two, making a creaking sound, swaying, and seemingly falling apart at any time.
The temperature in the room rose sharply, and the strong smell of love in the air overshadowed the smell of incense.
I don't know how long it took, Xu was tired, and the emperor had fallen into a deep sleep, so Xue'er got up, picked up the thin veil scattered on the ground, and covered her body. There were large ambiguous marks on the snow-white skin, and Xue'er pushed open the window to disperse the ambiguous smell of the room, only to find that it was already snowing lightly. The cold north wind blows, bringing a slight coolness to the skin. Xue'er subconsciously wanted to wrap her clothes tightly, but found that she was covered with a transparent tulle, and she moved her snow feet and returned to the inner room to put on a fox fur.
I was busy opening the window just now, and at this time I felt that my legs were so sore, that Xue'er had to order someone to bring hot water. Rose petals float on the water, and Cher puts herself in the warmth, sighing with satisfaction. The room was quiet, and even the sound of snow falling outside the window could be heard, and Cher closed her eyes to enjoy this moment of tranquility that belonged to her.
At this time, the palace maid's slightly anxious voice came, and Xue'er got up from the water, dried herself, put on her clothes, and then went out in a wet dress. Another maid quickly grabbed a clean cloth towel, stood still behind Cher, and wiped her long algae-like hair.
"What's the matter, what kind of body is so frizzy?" The voice was full of anger.
The palace maid knelt on the ground, although she had tried to stabilize her heart, her voice was still trembling, "Niangniang, it's not good!" This morning, the palace concubines went to greet the queen mother according to the custom, and somehow there was a dispute, and the result was ......"
"The result?" Xue'er's eyes were like knives, and the palace maid trembled with fright.
"It turned out to be found under the queen's jade pillow...... A doll with your name written on it. After the palace maid said this, she subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Xue'er's expression.
"Go down." Xue'er opened her mouth with a smile in her eyes, "Hengying, reward her with fifty taels of silver." The woman who was standing behind Xue'er to wipe her hair stopped her movements, put down the cloth towel in her hand, and then went down.
A moment later, the shadow returned, picked up the cloth towel again, and continued the movement of Fang Cai. Xue'er leaned lazily on the couch, supported her cheek with one hand, and looked at the snowflakes flying outside the window.
"Mother, that little man is...... Did you do it? The crossbow seemed to struggle for a long time, and asked the exit despite hesitation.
Cher didn't answer, and Hengying wisely didn't mention it again. After drying her hair, Hengying combed Xue'er with the simplest makeup, and then walked out of the Feixue Pavilion with an umbrella and walked towards Weiyang Palace.
At this time, the Weiyang Palace was smoky, and the palace concubines were talking about something, and the emperor sat on the phoenix chair above, looking coldly at the women below arguing. Gao Qianyue was also there, but she had been sitting quietly since she came in and saluted, without speaking. The emperor looked at her and was very satisfied.
"The Snow Emperor has arrived!" Some sharp voices came from the inner chamberlain, and there was silence in Weiyang Palace for a moment, and then I saw Xue'er coming in. Xue'er glanced around quietly, and saw that the queen was kneeling beside her at the moment, her red lips lifted a trace of arc, and she was smooth again. Facing the man sitting on the phoenix chair, Xue'er bowed to her, looking indescribably delicate. The emperor hurriedly sat down, and then the palace concubines asked Xue'er for peace. Gao Qianyue still didn't move, and she saw that Xue'er was annoyed in her heart, this woman, didn't you see that the queen was about to fall? When I saw myself, I didn't even hurry over to slap her!
Weiyang Palace gradually returned to quiet, and the emperor spoke: "Empress, as the mother of a country, you have done such a vicious thing now, I am now going to abolish your throne and punish you to go to Mixin Palace to copy the female ring, think about it behind closed doors, do you have something to say?" The emperor looked at the woman who had been kneeling and not making any excuses for herself, and his heart was mixed.
"Of course the concubine has something to say, I don't know which one the concubine has committed? Let the emperor decide to abolish me, the queen! The Queen's voice sounded a little reasonable.
Everyone gasped, and the queen actually said such a thing this time. The emperor was extremely angry: "You still don't admit it? Because he was jealous of the Snow Emperor's concubine, he made the Snow Emperor's villain, and used witchcraft to murder the Snow Emperor, which is simply a poisonous woman! How dare you ask me which one you have committed? ”
After hearing this, a trace of ridicule crossed the queen's face: "Since the emperor thinks that a qiē is done by a concubine, the concubine has nothing to say." Then took off the phoenix crown on her head, and in front of everyone, the queen took off her phoenix clothes, only wore her middle clothes, ignored that the emperor was still sitting on it, and walked to Mixin Palace step by step.
Those people thought that the queen would quibble, but they didn't expect to go to Mixin Palace so lightly, and the emperor seemed to be a little surprised. has been with the queen for nearly 20 years, and he knows the queen's heart, but this time the emperor seems to be a little unable to understand her.
When the Manchu civil and military forces in the court heard that the emperor had decided to abolish the queen, there were many discussions. The official Shangshu didn't know what mistake his daughter had made, and he would let the emperor decide to abolish the queen, but now he didn't dare to plead, so he could only stand quietly on top of the hall and not say a word. However, the pedantic and stubborn Ministry of Rites Shangshu spoke: "Your Majesty, since the queen mother took charge of the phoenix seal, the harem has been in order. The old minister dared to ask the emperor, why did he make the move of abolishing the queen? ”
"She was jealous, and she actually stabbed a villain in the palace with the intention of murdering the Snow Emperor, do you think I should be abolished?" The emperor's voice was full of displeasure, it turned out that the queen had left a hand here, wanting those noble people to intercede, but unfortunately she miscalculated.
"Your Majesty, according to the old minister's view, the abolition is a major national event, and the queen is virtuous and virtuous, graceful and generous, how could she do such a thing? I'm afraid it's a poisonous plan by someone with a heart for his own future! The Ministry of Rites stated his own opinion loudly, and he was not at all afraid of upsetting the person on the dragon chair.
"Humph! Aiqing is saying that I was deceived by the villain and couldn't see the truth of the matter clearly? The emperor raised his voice and asked almost loudly, "The queen herself did not deny this matter, if it was really wronged, why didn't she tell me?" Instead, he took off the phoenix crown on his head and went to Mixin Palace! ”
"The emperor ......" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was about to say something more, but the emperor's voice came again: "The queen is not virtuous, she is no longer worthy of being the mother of a country, I have made up my mind, and others have to say more!" Then he flicked his sleeves and left the hall. When the courtiers saw the emperor like this, although they felt that this move was inappropriate, they did not dare to say anything more. But there was one person who dared to twist his beard on the tiger's head, that is, the secretary of the military department, and chased the emperor all the way to the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, now that the border war is tight, Dali still needs Her Royal Highness the Princess to repel the enemy army, if the Queen is abolished at this time, I am afraid it will make Her Royal Highness the Princess feel cold." The military department Shangshu knew that he could not persuade the emperor to change his mind, so he could only start from the current war and the safety of Dali, so as to make the emperor change his holy will.
The emperor's face was not good-looking when he saw the military department Shangshu coming to intercede, but now when he heard him say this, he hesitated. This queen can't be abolished, at least not now. After a moment of silence, the emperor ordered the queen to be taken out of the Mixin Palace, but did not say who to send to investigate this matter, and the Snow Imperial Concubine, who was originally so excited that she couldn't sleep, saw that the queen came out of the Mixin Palace unharmed, and was so angry that she broke many precious vases in the Concubine Xue Pavilion.
The Snow Emperor was trembling and looked at the palace maid who came back to report the news: "Does the emperor mention the abolition of the queen again?" ”
"I didn't ...... No. The queen has now returned to Weiyang Palace, and there is no change in the degree of food and clothing, as usual. ”
The nails sink into the palms, and the blood flows down the fingers, dripping onto the snow-white fox fur. "Go down." After a long time, the palace maid heard the voice of the Snow Princess, and then got up, because she knelt for too long, her legs were numb, and she almost knocked down an eight-treasure screen, the palace maid glanced at the Snow Princess, saw that she didn't say anything, and left the inner room tremblingly.
Night, Fei Xue Pavilion, secret room.
"I heard that some people were so angry today that they smashed all the precious porcelain in the Feixue Pavilion?"
"Master." Xue'er came back to her senses and knelt down subconsciously, only to feel that her breathing was tight, and an extra hand appeared on her neck, which was so cold that it was like a snake wrapped around her neck, and it was still tightening.
"Xue'er, don't think I don't know what you're up to, you want the emperor to abolish the empress and then make you the queen, right? Step by step, let the emperor become the crown prince. The voice was angry, and the strength in her hand increased again, and Xue'er only felt that it was difficult to breathe.
"Master, I'm ...... No. Cher struggled to spit out this sentence before the hand on her neck left. You don't have to look to know that there must be bruises on the neck.
