Because of the preparations before, the news of Ye Minyu's rebellion reached Beijing, Xiao Zongchang and Xiao Zongsheng took the descendants of the Xiao family to exchange the Wanguan family wealth accumulated over the years into silver tickets, and went out of Beijing to defect to Ye Minyu. At that time, Ye Minyu left Beijing, and the Jingshi group had no leader, no one presided over the overall situation, they left quietly, and no one came forward to stop them.

When Xiao Zongsheng left, he immediately persuaded his daughter Concubine Xiao to leave the palace and follow them to avoid trouble. Concubine Xiao unexpectedly refused. Concubine Xiao said: "Since ancient times, the local government has fought against the central government, and there is no one in a hundred who can succeed, even if we can leave this Forbidden City now, it may not be long before we have to become prisoners, so why bother." For so many years, this palace has long been prepared for failure to win the heir, and this palace is not even afraid of death, what else can not be beared! What's more, someone must stand up and be responsible for this matter, not Yu'er, not uncle, not father, that is the palace! ”

Xiao Zongsheng persuaded her for a long time, but Concubine Xiao had already made up her mind.

Xiao Zongsheng could only leave gloomily.

After the emperor returned to the palace, the holy decree soon came down. "The imperial concubine Xiao family, the destiny is not blessed, the godson has no way, the people are wasted, and they live in the Qianxi Palace, and they cannot be issued without an edict. Concubine Hui was promoted to a noble concubine, took the affairs of the six palaces, and took charge of the phoenix seal on her behalf! "The Qianxi Palace is the place where the concubines who have made a big mistake are held, that is, the "cold palace" in folklore. Concubine Xiao was imprisoned there, and "no edict can be released", this life is completely over.

Concubine Xiao has been in the harem for more than 20 years, with a deep family background, and soon gave birth to the fourth son of the emperor after entering the palace, even the queen was pressed by her and couldn't move, and she was the first person in the harem who was really unknown. It is really embarrassing to have fallen into such a field today.

"Disobedience" is a heinous crime, I heard that the emperor intended to execute Concubine Xiao, and at the critical moment, Concubine Hui persuaded him, and finally left her life on the grounds that "Concubine Xiao entered the palace and waited for many years".

Concubine Hui is gentle and obedient, and she is good to people, this time she came forward to intercede against the thunder and saved Concubine Xiao, who has always been discordant with her, so generous and benevolent, there was a sound of praise in the harem.

Concubine Xiao couldn't help but smile coldly. It is said that the dog that can bite people does not bark, Concubine Hui hid behind her and the queen, silently, sat and watched her and the queen fight to the death, and finally reaped the benefits of the fisherman, the prince went crazy, King Zhao reversed, only one Ye Minzhao remained, and the throne would fall on his head without any suspense!

Concubine Xiao didn't believe that pies would fall from the sky casually, and they hit their mother and son's heads. So is this "generous and benevolent", it's okay to deceive the status concubines who have no scheming. In her opinion, Concubine Hui is simply a poisonous snake lurking in the dark!

Concubine Xiao didn't stay in the capital to wait for others to insult her, she had been preparing for so many years, and now that she had fallen short, she had already hated Concubine Hui, these days, she had learned from the pain, and finally figured out that Chen Jia had betrayed her a long time ago and threw herself into Concubine Hui, she still held Chen Jia's big handle in her hand, she would not make Chen Jia feel better.

As long as Chen Jia is overthrown, Concubine Hui can be implicated, and maybe the conspiracy she and Ye Minzhao arranged will be revealed to the world.

She's losing! But she definitely doesn't want Concubine Hui to have a good time!

But the premise of overthrowing Chen Jia is to be able to see the emperor.

The emperor hurried back to the Forbidden City, but he was sick. The next day, he told the Sixth Palace to abolish Concubine Xiao as a concubine! But Concubine Xiao has never been able to see the emperor.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent someone to move her things to the Qianxi Palace, and the minions who used to bow down in front of her, and the minions who worked hard saw that she was down, and became arrogant, and did not take her in their eyes. She just couldn't see it, but she couldn't help sneering in her heart.

The dark and damp Qianxi Palace is cramped, and the main hall is not even as spacious and comfortable as an inverted seat room in her Chengqian Palace. The place was not cleaned at all, and the corners of the house were even full of cobwebs, and the bed and kang were full of dust.

Living in such a place, she didn't say much. She just wants to see the emperor now, and then even if she dies immediately, she is not afraid!

She is such a strong woman!

She has been operating in the harem for many years, even if she is down for a while, there are still a lot of people available, and one of the chamberlains who can get in touch with the emperor came to the Qianxi Palace to find her that night. She took off a pair of bracelets from her hands, all of which were turquoise and not a trace of impurities, and they were not ordinary at first glance. She handed the bracelet to the chamberlain: "This is the ...... that the emperor personally brought to the palace when the palace first entered the palace" Concubine Xiao thought that back then, when she first entered the palace, she also had a period of love with orthodoxy, and this pair of bracelets is proof! Since when did she devote all her energy to her son? The husband has become dispensable in her heart?

She sighed silently in her heart: "...... You hand the pair of bracelets to the emperor, he should meet me!" ”

The chamberlain only agreed to go, and in the evening of the next day, the emperor really came to Qianxi Palace. With the same come, in addition to Chen Jia and Concubine Hui!

The emperor was carried in a soft sedan chair. Chen Jia and Concubine Hui helped him walk in. Seeing the cramped and narrow environment of the Qianxi Palace, he frowned and didn't say anything.

Concubine Xiao knelt down in the narrow courtyard to welcome the arrival of the emperor's big frame. The emperor didn't want to enter such a small dirty room, the little eunuch moved the dragon chair over, the emperor sat on the chair, looked coldly at Concubine Xiao who was prostrate at his feet, and said in a hoarse voice: "So far, what else do you have to say?" ”

The emperor didn't call up, Concubine Xiao could only kneel on the ground and speak, she raised her head unyieldingly, and looked at orthodoxy with burning eyes: "Your Majesty! The concubine just wants to say a word to you today, Yu'er doesn't really want to rebel, he was forced by others, the emperor is young, you can't fall for someone else's tricks, and hand over this great thousand miles of rivers and mountains to a mother and son with a femme fatale! ”

When the orthodox heard this, he was angry, "Your good son, who has scattered all my 10,000 Imperial Forest Army, and you are still here with conclusive quibbles, what I have seen with my own eyes and heard with my own ears, is there anything false?" Over the years, I have been too indulgent of your mother and son, so that you will be lawless to such a point, and for the sake of this chair under my ass, you will do such a rebellious thing as bullying the king and treason! ”

Concubine Xiao raised her head suddenly, and looked at Concubine Hui sharply: "Your Majesty, all this is our mother and son who are harmed by this slut!" Don't be fooled by them! ”

Concubine Hui's face showed an aggrieved look at the right time, and without her speaking by herself, the emperor had already slapped the back of the chair fiercely, "I wanted to put you to death yesterday, it was Concubine Hui who knelt in front of me to intercede for you, not only are you ungrateful, but you are also spewing people with blood like this!" What exactly is your heart made of? ”

Only then did Concubine Hui speak: "Speaking of framing and harming, it is Sister Xiao's forte, isn't His Royal Highness King Shun harmed by your mother and son to become what he is now?" ”

Orthodoxy seemed to have known this for a long time, and he looked at Concubine Xiao coldly and said, "You poisonous woman, are you willing to admit it?" ”

Concubine Xiao smiled coldly and said proudly: "Since the emperor already believes it, why bother to ask the concubines again?" ”

Concubine Hui smiled faintly: "Knowing that my sister will definitely refuse to admit it, I brought the witness over today." She clapped her hands, and a handsome-looking young man was escorted in by two wolf-like guards, it was Wu Yunqi, who had been missing for a long time.

Concubine Xiao was not very surprised when she saw Wu Yunqi. just smiled faintly and said to Concubine Hui; "I didn't expect him to really fall into your hands, you really have some ability! This palace has been exhausted for so many years, but it has always looked down on you mother and son! Hateful, hateful! ”

Orthodoxy glanced at her in disgust, and said to Wu Yunqi; "You tell her what you said to me yesterday and tell her exactly what you said to me!"

Wu Yunqi told him how Concubine Xiao asked people to hint at him, how to create opportunities for him to commit adultery with Concubine Yigui, how Concubine Xiao was caught on the spot, controlled Concubine Yi Guiqi in her hands, and finally how Concubine Yi conceived his child and framed the former prince.

Finally, he said: "After the fall of King Shun, Concubine Xiao saw that the villain was useless, so she sent her father-in-law to take my life. It's a pity that the villain risked his life to help Niangniang do things, not only did Niangniang not have the slightest reward, but also almost sent someone to kill the villain, it's really chilling to think about! ”

For Wu Yunqi's accusation, Concubine Xiao didn't take a second look, and it was indeed her who sent someone to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but it was a pity that she fell short, and now she has torn her face with the emperor and Concubine Huihui, where would she be afraid of a small guard.

The emperor waved his hand, and the guards took Wu Yunqi down again. The emperor looked at Concubine Xiao, and the hatred in his eyes was endless: "The child in Concubine Yigui's belly has nothing to do with the crown prince at all, all this is your trick, and your purpose is to let your son ascend the throne!" ”

Concubine Xiao suddenly laughed hysterically: "That's right! Your Majesty, the crown prince was harmed by me. He is cowardly, immoral and incompetent, and only knows how to spend time and drink every day. Where is Yu'er inferior to him? Where am I inferior to the Queen? Just because she is the original partner and her son is the eldest son, these thousands of miles of splendid rivers and mountains will belong to their mother and son? Why? I'm just not convinced, I just want to get him down! ”

The emperor was so angry that he trembled: "You...... You...... Shu'er, who was harmed by your mother and son, is delirious and crazy all day long, and you don't feel the slightest guilt? ”

"Guilty?" Concubine Xiao sneered: "Your Majesty, don't forget, it was you who didn't believe in the prince at the beginning!" If you hadn't believed in your son, imprisoned him first and then thrown him into prison, how could he have become a madman and idiot! If you want to blame, you only blame him for being useless, blame him for being too timid! My Yu'er, how many times has the horse leather shroud charged into battle, but it is not good yet! Why is Ye Minshu so vulnerable? ”

The emperor gasped angrily: "You poisonous woman, you poisonous woman!" But he couldn't find the words to say for a while.

Concubine Hui gently patted him on the back and said in a low voice: "Look, Concubine Xiao, Sister Xiao is really crazy, Your Majesty, let's go back." It's a matter of kindness for you to see her for the last time! ”

"Your Majesty, slow down! I'm not a good person, but she doesn't have a good heart! She stretched out her hand and pointed at Concubine Hui, "She is flattering you and holding you now, but it's just to make her son emperor." There is no family affection in the heavenly family, your Majesty, you should wake up! You probably don't know that Chen Jia, whom you love very much, is not completely loyal to you, he has another identity, he is not surnamed Chen at all, his surname is Qi, and he is the grandson of Emperor Qi! ”

Great Qi was a dynasty before the Great Chu, which lasted for more than 300 years. Emperor Qi is the last emperor of Great Qi, he is not stupid, it is really his father and brother who left him a mess, the empire is full of crises for thousands of years, Emperor Qi struggled to maintain the empire, after all, he became the king of the dead country, after the establishment of Great Chu, there are many people sympathize with Emperor Qi, and rebel under his banner, which makes Taizu and Taizong very nerve-wracking, so the court of Great Chu smells Emperor Qi and changes color, and for his grandson, he talks about tiger discoloration.

The reason why Concubine Xiao was so relieved to arrange Chen Jia by the emperor's side, thinking that he would be 100% at her mercy, was precisely because she believed that she had mastered this secret, and Chen Jia would never be able to turn over her palm. It's a pity that Chen Jia still rebelled in the end.

Seeing orthodoxy today, she just said this sentence!

Orthodox stopped and looked back at her, with pity and ridicule in his eyes, but not shock. Concubine Xiao's heart sank, and she faintly felt that something was wrong. Orthodoxy has already said lightly: "I have known about this matter for a long time. Soon after Chen Jia arrived at my side, he told me about it! ”

Even when Concubine Hui revealed her persecution of the crown prince just now, Concubine Xiao was not so shocked: "This ...... How can it be? You know that he is a relic of the previous dynasty, why do you still trust him so much? ”

Orthodoxy said slowly: "He is loyal to me, and I naturally believe in him!" ”

Concubine Xiao seemed to have received a huge blow and collapsed to the ground, "This is impossible, this is impossible!" She didn't know what was wrong with the world, why some common sense things had completely changed today.

I don't know how long it took, the emperor had already left, and with a "squeak", the door of the Qianxi Hall was pushed open again, and Concubine Hui and Chen Jia slowly walked in. Concubine Xiao armed herself with the last dignity and slowly sat up straight: "Are you here to see my jokes?" Don't you think! ”

All the men in the courtyard were sent out.

Concubine Hui slowly stood in front of her, with a crying and smiling expression on her face: "Xiao Lesheng, you finally have today, you have finally got retribution, I have been waiting for this day for twenty years!" Xiao Lesheng is Concubine Xiao's name, and Concubine Hui said hatefully: "Twenty years ago, when you killed my first child with poison, I waited for this day, and today I finally made me wait!" ”
