Because of Xue Yi, the Empress Dowager of the East Palace, and the loss of power of the Prime Minister's Mansion of the previous dynasty, everyone in this whirlpool of power is undergoing changes imperceptibly.

The original Empress Dowager Chen has now become the unique Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou.

And as Xiangping pleases Zhou Xianrui, the imperial brother, day and night, the relationship between brother and sister is as good as ever, or even better than before. This eighth princess was also canonized as Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Great Zhou.

This so-called eldest princess, first of all, she does not mean the eldest princess, but a kind of honor.

Only by ranking first among the princesses can she be honored as Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and her status is on par with that of the prince.

And besides, half a month has passed, and now in the Six Palaces, just like Zhou Xianrui discussed with Empress Chen that day, Shen Wenqing has begun to deal with harem matters with Xiao Jinxuan.

It's also a shame that the two of them have always had a good relationship, so even if Xiang Ping ran to Shen Wenqing during this period, he played a lot of right and wrong.

Even Empress Chen privately found Shen Wenqing in her dormitory, and told the other party earnestly that she must know how to seize power from Xiao Jinxuan.

But even if all she heard around her was teaching her how to deal with Xiao Jinxuan, Shen Wenqing read poetry and books and did not lose her opinion.

Therefore, she only believes in what she sees Xiao Jinxuan like, and she will not be affected by others.

Therefore, the two sisters not only cooperate very tacitly, but also talk about everything on weekdays, and the relationship has taken a step forward.

And with the arrival of the scorching heat in July, even early in the morning can not make people feel a little cool.

This kind of weather should have been the most suitable to hide in the dormitory to escape the heat, but Shen Wenqing rushed to Zhaoyang Hall with a sweat all the way.

After Zhu Xin introduced the other party into Xiao Jinxuan's dormitory, Shen Wenqing, who could not hide the anxious look on his face, saw Xiao Jinxuan seriously embroidering a purse after coming in, so focused that he didn't even notice the sound of the palace door being opened.

Immediately, even if Shen Wenqing was in a hurry, she could not help but lean over cautiously, and then gently pushed the other party.

But because Xiao Jinxuan really put too much of her mind on her purse, and although she is a human being in two lives, she is not proficient in female red embroidery.

Therefore, although Shen Wenqing's movements were already very light, Xiao Jinxuan, who was still taken aback, pierced the index finger of her left hand without holding the needle in her hand steadily.

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan's pain and immediately frowning, Shen Wenqing couldn't help but pull up the other party's injured index finger with a face full of self-blame.

While bandaging Xiao Jinxuan with a brocade handkerchief, Shen Wenqing said apologetically:

"My sister is not good for my sister, I thought not to scare you, but I didn't expect your fingers to hurt. But what do you need to embroider Jinxuan, you can ask the palace people to do it, today is the day of the execution of Queen Xue, my sister couldn't close her eyes all night because of this last night, and she hurried over to find you this morning. But Jinxuan was so calm that she still had the leisure to embroider here. No wonder the emperor always told me that he wanted my sister to learn more and practice more with you in charge of the palace, and my sister's calmness is indeed admirable. ”

Hearing Shen Wenqing's approval, Xiao Jinxuan was slightly stunned.

In fact, even she didn't know when she started, when she gave the order to take someone's life, she didn't sweat in her palms, her heart trembled, and she couldn't sleep all night.

On the contrary, they are becoming more and more indifferent, and they are less and less interested in killing.

This kind of change Xiao Jinxuan sometimes feels extremely terrible, but in the current environment, she can't do anything about this change in mentality, so she can only let it develop.

And when the needle prick on her index finger didn't hurt so much, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but withdraw her finger and said to Shen Wenqing with a smile:

"Sister Shen, it's just that a needle prick doesn't get in the way, when did Jinxuan get so squeamish that such a small injury also needs to be bandaged. As for this purse, I still have to embroider it myself, because Xianyu is about to return, and I want to give it to him myself when the time comes. As for Empress Xue's side, she went to the prison at noon to see off the other party, and the time was still very early, and my sister was unmistakably worried that Jinxuan was measured. ”

As soon as he heard Xiao Jinxuan's words, Shen Wenqing, who was also sitting down beside the other party, couldn't help but immediately smile and said:

"Jinxuan has a heart, this time the Xiao family army used force to deter, and the seventh brother negotiated with the Yeying envoy in front of him to release Fujiwara Xiu. I heard that when the seventh brother was ambushed on the expedition before, Yeying captured his mount Wu Xuema and the Nine Dragons Cold Moon Spear. Now, in order to exchange for their monarch, they not only obediently returned the things of the seventh brother, but also offered 100,000 gold and 1 million silver. Now that the negotiations have reached a consensus, Xianyu can also come back, Jinxuan, you can finally stop worrying about the other party. ”

When Zhou Xianyu was besieged, the red soul rushed to be his stand-in, in order to hide from Yeying.

Therefore, the Red Soul not only changed into Zhou Xianyu's battle armor, but also rode on the black snow horse, holding the Nine Dragons Spear and slaughtered the enemy position.

Therefore, Zhou Xianyu's war horse and gun fell into the hands of Yeying at that time, and Zhou Xianyu was bound to get things back.

But I don't want to think that now because of Fujiwara Shu's matter, Yeying took the initiative to send it back without much effort, which is also an unexpected joy.

When Shen Wenqing saw the mention of Zhou Xianyu, the corners of Xiao Jinxuan's mouth couldn't help but rise, and immediately she saw it in her eyes, and couldn't help but say with envy:

"Seeing you care about each other so much, I am really happy for you in my heart, and I am glad that you two have gone through a lot of hardships, but you are going to be bitter. I heard that Elder Ding has already taught his sister the recipe for decoction for His Majesty, and he is also going to leave the palace to find a medicine guide for you. I hope that God will favor you to find the medicine quickly, so that my sister can leave the palace, and she will not have to suffer from the fumigation of the medicinal bath, and travel around the world with the emperor to live the life you want. ”

As soon as she heard Shen Wenqing's words, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but have a little more hope for the future, and said with a gentle chuckle:

"With Sister Shen's auspicious words, I hope Jinxuan can look forward to that day sooner. After all, the life in the four directions of the palace is not what I yearn for. ”

has long known that Xiao Jinxuan is definitely not a person who likes harem life, and Shen Wenqing sometimes can't understand why Empress Chen and Xiangping blindly target, which really makes her secretly worried about this sister.

With Xiao Jinxuan embroidering the purse in her hand and occasionally chatting with Shen Wenqing, the time was almost noon before she knew it.

Xiao Jinxuan, who has always been unproclaimed in business, immediately put down the embroidery needle in her hand, then stood up and said:

"Sister Shen, I know that you are the most kind and gentle person, and you are afraid that you will feel uncomfortable after watching the execution of the abolished Queen Mother. Therefore sit in my chamber, and when I come back from the prison and tell you what has happened, do not go with me. ”

Shen Wenqing was born in a famous family, and she was even more beautiful, and the execution and murder were indeed something she couldn't adapt to.

Therefore, Shen Wenqing was not hypocritical about Xiao Jinxuan's kindness, but accepted the suggestion after thanking him, and only stayed in Zhaoyang Palace and waited for the other party to come back.

And Xiao Jinxuan changed into plain clothes, and then removed all the gold and silver jewelry on her body, and only decorated her head with a worry-free hairpin, and then set off to the prison.

As for why Xiao Jinxuan is dressed like this, it is mainly because she thinks of the person who will be executed today, after all, she was the mother of a country in the past.

Dressed in a gorgeous dress to see off the other party, Xiao Jinxuan felt that it was really disrespectful to the deceased.

Even if she has always hated Xue Yi, she will not worry too much about a dying person at such a moment.

And after Xiao Jinxuan said goodbye to Shen Wenqing, she got on the sedan chair accompanied by Wen Xin, and came to the heavenly prison after a stick of incense.

But as soon as Xiao Jinxuan arrived there, before she could go in, Li Dao, who was responsible for protecting her safety and was specially transferred by Zhou Xianrui to the side of the prison to wait, greeted her with an unnatural expression.

As the first secret guard by Zhou Xianrui's side, Li Dao has always had a blank face on his face, so when he saw the other party's strange expression, Xiao Jinxuan knew that something must be wrong, so he immediately opened his mouth to ask.

And when he looked at Li Dao, he saw that after he hesitated, he still bowed his hand to Xiao Jinxuan and said:

"Qi Qi Concubine Xiao, Li Dao does have something to say to you first. In fact, an hour before you came, the Queen Mother drove into the prison, saying that she wanted to say goodbye to Empress Xue for the end. Now a few palace maids have been sent to guard the entrance and no one is allowed to enter, and the subordinates don't know if Niangniang has to wait. ”

Since the last time Rui Wangfu broke through, Xiao Jinxuan jumped out of the carriage in order to lure the enemy, Li Dao, who was originally hostile to her, has now changed a lot of attitude.

That's why Li Dao will give a reminder, for fear that Xiao Jinxuan will break in and anger Chen, and then she will have to cause some trouble.

But as soon as she heard Li Dao's words, Xiao Jinxuan's brows furrowed, and without a moment of hesitation, she walked directly towards the entrance of the prison.

"Li Dao, you have been in the palace for a long time, and now there is an accident when people arrive. Today's execution of the abolished queen mother, except for me Xiao Jinxuan, there should not be a second person in the prison. What's more, you know that the queen mother is not good, why don't you stop people. If you don't clean up the people who are blocked by Yanqing Palace to this concubine, if my footsteps into the prison are blocked, then you don't have to do this errand. ”

was ordered by Xiao Jinxuan, and the few palace maids who blocked the door of Yanqing Palace were naturally cleared immediately.

And after Xiao Jinxuan rushed into the prison with Li Dao and Wen Xin all the time, it didn't take long for Xue Yi's pain mixed with laughter, and it came in clearly.

Xiao Jinxuan, who knew that something must have happened, immediately walked faster towards the prison, and when she bypassed a corner, she could be counted as the cell where the deposed queen mother was held.

Immediately, Xiao Jinxuan saw Xue Yi, the former Empress Dowager of the East Palace, who was tied up and suspended in mid-air, and the two jailers were whipping her body incessantly.

And not far from the whipping of the abolished Empress Dowager Xue Yi, the current Empress Dowager Chen sat comfortably on the chair, as if enjoying listening to Xue's painful moans and dying laughter.

Although Xiao Jinxuan also hated Empress Xue, she fought with the other party for a long time.

But as the saying goes, death is like a lamp going out, even if it is a hostile and disgusting person, Xiao Jinxuan definitely does not have the habit and interest to torture a dying person and take it as a pleasure.

Especially Empress Xue's loss of power, it can be said that it was not Empress Chen who was brought down from beginning to end.

But the other party will wantonly torture and whip Xue Yi with the attitude of a victor, in order to satisfy the pleasure of revenge in her heart, this practice is actually extremely shameful in Xiao Jinxuan's eyes.

Therefore, she almost didn't think about it, Xiao Jinxuan didn't care that Empress Chen was still there, and she immediately not only ordered Li Dao to stop the two jailers immediately.

And she stepped forward with Wen Xin to put Xue Yi down from the hanging stake, even if Empress Chen's face had changed from the comfortable just now to extremely gloomy.

But Xiao Jinxuan still insisted on helping Empress Xue up, and then looked at Empress Dowager Chen indifferently.
