The queen looked at Concubine Cao Xian in astonishment.

The two of them have been dealing with each other for many years, and the queen knows Concubine Cao Xian's temperament very well, she is cautious, and she is by no means a presumptuous person, if you want to say that she is pregnant at this juncture, the queen really doesn't believe that this is what Concubine Cao Xian can do. Imagine that as long as it is fake, then there will be a day of exposure, once such a major event as false pregnancy occurs, it is not only Concubine Cao Xian who will be involved.

Who is a woman who lives in the palace only for herself and not for her family? Could it be that Concubine Cao Xian did this without considering her mother's family at all?

What's more, at the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, Concubine Cao Xian swore that the emperor was on his way back. It really scared the queen so much that all three souls and seven spirits were about to ascend to heaven.

In this meeting, not only is the pregnancy fake, but the emperor's return to Beijing is also fake.

Concubine Cao Xian sacrificed herself to tell this kind of lie in order to stir up her big plan to sacrifice to the heavens? The queen didn't believe that she was such a righteous and awe-inspiring person.

Someone must have been instructed behind this scene!

The queen stepped forward in three or two steps, picked up Concubine Cao Xian's collar, and her heavy makeup couldn't hide her hideousness at this time, and her red lips grinned with a sneer: "Cao family, if you tell the truth to this palace now, this palace may also consider letting you go, otherwise you just wait to die!" ”

Concubine Cao Xian's sideburns were scattered, cold sweat was dripping on her pale face, and her eyes were lost and she shook her head again and again: "Impossible, I obviously have it, impossible ......"

"Cao's!" Seeing that Cao was pretending to be crazy, the queen held her shirt tightly and brought the person closer, and the tips of their noses were almost touched: "You still don't recruit?" Do you want this palace to torture you? ”

The queen was so angry that her long nails, painted with bright red Kodan, scratched two bloody marks on Concubine Cao Xian's neck.

Concubine Cao Xian screamed in pain. His eyes gradually cleared, and he shook his head and said: "You can't torture me, I am the emperor's concubine, no matter what I do, it will not be your turn to punish me, I want to see the emperor!" I want to see the emperor! ”

"See the emperor?" The queen pushed Concubine Cao Xian away and said fiercely: "You'd better beg not to see the emperor, if the emperor sees you like this, knows that you are fake pregnant and fabricate rumors to offend the palace, I'm afraid you and your mother will die even more ugly!" ”

The queen got up angrily and said, "Someone." Concubine Cao Xian is pregnant and competes for favor. and lied about the emperor's situation in an attempt to disrupt the matter of worshipping the heavens to the detriment of the Great Zhou, and his heart should be punished! Immediate death! ”

"You dare! Queen, I am the emperor's concubine, even if I really do something wrong. If you want to be convicted, it should be the emperor who speaks. Now the emperor is sick. As the queen, you don't know how to heal the emperor, and you try in vain to take the emperor's place, and you attack me first in order to eradicate dissidents! If you do. Heaven and earth can't tolerate you! ”

"This palace is also for the emperor in addition to you, even if the world is intolerable, then see you in the underworld at that time! Come! The queen turned around and ordered someone to come.

"The Queen Mother."

The second prince hurriedly interrupted the queen's words, pulled her aside and whispered, "It's not appropriate for you to execute Concubine Cao Xian now. ”

The queen raised her eyebrows, "Why is it inappropriate?" Are you going to fight against your mother? ”

"No, your son is your son, how can he be against you? It's just that the queen mother has to take care of Youyou's mouth, and the execution of Concubine Cao Xian will only make the courtiers suspicious and cold, when can't you kill her if you want to kill her? There will be many opportunities in the future. This son will detain her in the cold palace first, and when her father comes back, she can't make a decision, if your father can't at most, you are justified in killing her. ”

When the queen heard this, there were signs of cracking in the tough shell, and she whispered: "But if she talks nonsense in the cold palace......

"Afraid of what? Who would believe the gossip of a madman? Besides, in a place like the Cold Palace, people can get in, can they still come out? ”

When the queen heard this, she seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and immediately nodded: "What you said is true." He turned around and commanded: "This palace is merciful, and I don't want to add to the killing immediately after praying for blessings, for the safety of the emperor, I will spare you for the time being, come and send Concubine Cao Xian into the cold palace!" ”

The palace people immediately responded, and a stout grandmother stepped forward and pulled Concubine Cao Xian all the way to the direction of the cold palace, afraid that she would shout along the way, and found a rag to gag her mouth.

When the news reached Fu Ying's ears, it was already the next day.

"I can't imagine that someone with such a temperament as the queen would let Concubine Cao Xian go for the time being?" Fu Ying sorted out Xiao Cuo's clothes and said, "I want to go and see Concubine Cao Xian today." ”

Xiao said wrongly: "You want to go to the cold palace to see her?" ”

"Yes, I always feel that Concubine Cao Xian has secrets that we don't know. For example, why would she tell these lies to deal with the queen, didn't she know that she would definitely die if the lies were exposed? If she is not pregnant, the queen will not take her to worship the sky. If she doesn't participate in the sacrifice, she won't have the opportunity to fake the news of the emperor's return to the city, and there will be no flustered queen and no chance for you to speak. ”

Fu Ying took the white jade belt, wrapped his arms around Xiao Cuo's thin waist and fastened the buckle for him, and then his white fingers hooked the Ruyi belt buckle, and looked up at him: "And you may have heard some rumors outside, many palace maids and attendants are talking about it, saying that the queen's sacrifice ceremony is out of order, and the words do not match the preamble, and the demeanor of the Empress Dowager Sheng'an is completely incomparable." If it really effectively imitates the Queen Mother's heart to listen to the government, I am afraid that it will not be able to support the huge Zhou Dynasty. ”

Xiao Cuo was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Fu Ying to cut to the point like this.

"You girl, how can you think of the queen mother?"

When Fu Ying heard this, even though she wanted to say something to Xiao Cuo, she still didn't say much in the end, but said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager Sheng'an is my serious mother-in-law, although I can't meet her when I don't have a chance to meet her, but I am always curious about her, so I inquired more about her." ”

When Xiao Cuo heard this, he lowered his eyes and sighed: "It's a pity." If the queen mother sees you, she will like it. ”

"Ah mistake, do you remember what the queen mother looked like?"

"The impression is very vague." Xiao Cuo smiled bitterly: "She is my mother, but I can't remember what she looks like." It's just that I have the impression that she has always been gloomy and beautiful, and I haven't seen her have a happy time. She is imposing, she comes with a look, and the royal brother will only hug me tightly and dare not make a sound. ”

Yes, Xiao Cuo was held by the emperor since he was a child. So when it comes to listening to politics, even if he doesn't remember the details, Xiao Cuo will have some impressions of his childhood.

Fu Ying comforted: "Although she is a strict mother, but she is a legendary woman, many people still remember the queen mother's Fengyi, if it were not for the queen mother's violent death, the country and the court would not be so stable in the hands of the emperor." Although she listens to politics and is suspected of being a chicken Si Chen, her political acumen and diplomatic methods are far beyond everyone's expectations, if it weren't for her, Da Zhou didn't know what the chaos would have become, such a hero, do you go straight to her like me, soft and only eat, drink and play? ”

Xiao Cuo sneered: "I accepted the praise of my mother before, why did I depreciate myself in the end?" Where do you just eat, drink and have fun? Will you still serve me? ”

As he spoke, he grabbed the person in his arms and snatched a kiss. (To be continued.) )
