Chapter 552: Empress Xue died
Xiao Jinxuan forcibly put down the waste Empress Dowager Xue Yi who was hanging in the air, she now saw that the Empress Dowager Chen was standing aside, not only did she not see the courtesy, but also did not open her mouth to say goodbye, but looked at the other party with an extremely cold expression.
At this moment, Empress Chen, who was already extremely annoyed with Xiao Jinxuan in her heart, looked at each other with the other party's extremely disrespectful eyes, and immediately this queen mother, like an oil drum on the spot, ignited as soon as she "soared".
"Xiao Jinxuan, you are too presumptuous, and you don't kneel down for the mourning family. After this abolition, the Xue family is a heinous person in the Great Zhou, so why should she be punished by the mourning family. Although it is true that Xianrui will leave the matter of today's execution of the other party to you, the mourning family is now the empress dowager of the Great Zhou, and even the political affairs of the previous dynasty can be participated in as appropriate. You are just a person with a harem concubine, and you dare to stop the person who wants to punish the mourning family, you are really bold. ”
In the face of Empress Chen's angry questioning, before Xiao Jinxuan could speak, Xue Yi, who would finally breathe a sigh of relief from the intensive whipping, actually said with a graceful attitude after chuckling a few times:
"The unique queen mother of the Great Zhou? Concubine Liang, Concubine Liang, you can climb to this position today, it is because you have two capable sons, but it is not because of how much ability you have. And now the loss of momentum in this future is by no means defeated in your hands, it is my Xue Yi's skills that are not as good as others, and I lost to Xiao Jinxuan by one move. And now that you're a villain, it's really ridiculous to come to make things difficult for you. Even with the way you look, you dare to call yourself the queen mother, the concubine is a concubine, and she will never be able to get on the stage. ”
The bearing and honor cultivated by a person who has been in a high position all the year round, no matter what environment he is in, that calmness and composure are still not to be underestimated.
And the current abolished Empress Dowager Xue Yi is like this, she has been in the position of the mother of the country for decades, even if she is indeed gone now, and she can no longer compete with the more and more noble Empress Dowager Chen.
But Xue Yi, who has been a queen all her life, in her eyes, the Chen family is still the concubine who hibernated under her rights back then, trembling and can only choose to be patient, and the other party has never even been put in her eyes.
As for Empress Chen, when she heard that Xue Yi was still ridiculed at her to this day, especially the contempt in the eyes of the other party, this made her concubine promoted to the queen mother, and she was even more annoyed and angry when she had been lacking confidence.
Therefore, in front of Xue Yi, there is always a feeling of being unable to raise her head and being pressed by the Empress Dowager Chen.
Even though she had just been sneered at by Xue Yitong, Empress Chen was unwilling to compete with the other party head-on.
Instead, she immediately pointed at Xiao Jinxuan and reprimanded with great momentum:
"For the sake of a person whose harem has been abolished, Xiao Jinxuan's majesty of the Empress Dowager has been damaged, and she has been arbitrarily humiliated by this woman, so do you feel very happy to see it. Xiao Jinxuan, I don't think you are kind-hearted at all, you can't afford to abolish the Queen Mother's punishment, you did it deliberately just to block the mourning family, your mind is really vicious. ”
Xiao Jinxuan was secretly targeted by Empress Chen before, and later it evolved into a face-to-face embarrassment, but she cared about the other party's good past and the mother's sake, who had the grace to raise Zhou Xian.
She can really be said to endure if she can, avoid what she can, and try not to have any conflicts with the other party.
But with the last time Empress Chen in the Buddhist hall not only wanted to kill Zhuxin, but also asked the guards to attack her, Xiao Jinxuan had been completely estranged from the other party in her heart since she woke up from that coma.
And the two of them deliberately avoided each other before, so they have been safe until now.
But seeing that Empress Dowager Chen's lynching was wrong in the first place, this would throw all her anger on her because of Xue Yi's sarcasm.
Now Xiao Jinxuan, who is also regarded as doing her duty to Chen Houren and has reached the point where she can't bear it anymore, this time she didn't make any evasion, her indifferent expression remained unchanged, and she asked sharply in her mouth:
"The Empress Dowager keeps saying that she is the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou, so please return to the palace immediately and set an example of virtue in the Six Palaces, not to torture a dying person here. Moreover, the matter of abolishing the Queen Mother, His Majesty has handed over the full responsibility of the concubine. How to execute her, don't bother the Queen Mother, Jinxuan will handle it properly. Even if you are the queen mother, you should not set foot at will, if this matter spreads to the previous dynasty, I am afraid that the queen mother will really have a reputation for being rude. ”
This Empress Dowager Chen has been in the harem for many years, and she has not had outstanding brains and strategies to get to this day, relying on patience and indisputability.
Therefore, with the sharpness of Xue Yi and Xiao Jinxuan's tongues, she can't handle it alone.
Now that the two of them, who were originally fierce rivals, joined hands, Empress Chen couldn't even make a decent riposte except for being speechless when he was forced to ask, and his face turned red.
And seeing that Empress Chen was quite embarrassed standing in the prison, he didn't walk, and he didn't look like he didn't go.
If it was before, Xiao Jinxuan would inevitably give the other party a step, so that each other would not be too stiff.
But Xiao Jinxuan, who is not the mud bodhisattva who forbears everywhere, her dislike for Empress Chen is getting heavier and heavier now, so even if the other party is Zhou Xianyu's adoptive mother, she doesn't plan to give this face.
Therefore, I saw that Xiao Jinxuan directly put Chen Hou aside, and without even looking at the other party, she directly began to deal with the execution of Xue Yi.
First, he ordered Li Dao to hand the poisoned wine, white silk and dagger that had been prepared in advance to Xue Yi.
Then Xiao Jinxuan ordered someone to call Qing Shui, and put a set of dark red queen house clothes prepared in advance in front of Xue Yi.
Then Xiao Jinxuan soaked the towel in clean water and wrung it out, and handed it to Xue Yi in person.
"Xue Shi cleaned his face before the execution, I brought your favorite set of queen mother's court clothes, and you will wear it on the road in a while." As for how to die, I let you choose the three ways, and there is only so much I can do for you. Although you have been my enemy several times, even my Xiao Jinxuan's life has almost died at your hands many times. But I still have to say that in fact, as a woman, you disturbed the harem of the former dynasty. Although I, Xiao Jinxuan, hate you to the core, I have to admire you. ”
Xiao Jinxuan's words can be regarded as heartfelt words, after all, they are often enemies of life and death, but they will have that kind of complex emotions of sympathy, jealousy but appreciation.
In fact, not only did Xiao Jinxuan feel this way about Empress Xue, but before Xue Yi lost power, she often said things like Xiao Jinxuan when she was young.
In fact, the reason why Empress Xue has this feeling is also because this woman who is arrogant and arrogant all her life has long admired and recognized Xiao Jinxuan in her heart.
Therefore, this will be the approaching Xue Yi, she has glorified her life, death will not be such a terrible thing for her, and she can face it calmly with her mentality.
So after seeing that Xue Yi smiled at Xiao Jinxuan's extremely peaceful mentality, he took the towel and wiped his face and hands, and then calmly draped the phoenix robe on his body.
After all this was done, Xue Yi couldn't help but glance at the three objects that ended her life a few times, and finally she took the poisoned wine in her hand.
After all, she was about to die, no matter how calm Empress Xue was, she finally calmed down some of her excitement after closing her eyes and taking a few deep breaths.
When she opened a pair of eyes full of the vicissitudes of time again, Xue Yi couldn't help but raise the poisonous wine in her hand with a slight smile, saluted Xiao Jinxuan, and then said lightly:
"Xiao Jinxuan, I, Xue Yi, can't even help Emperor Ming in this life, but in the end, I lost at your hands. However, the heart of this defeat is convinced, but people are dying, and their words are also good. For the sake of your willingness to give Benhou a decent death, so I Xue Yi also advises you. Since you have no intention of harem, then stay away from right and wrong as soon as possible. You must know that the most fickle thing in this world is the human heart, and the ugliest thing is human nature. Rights, **, status will change a person beyond recognition, and I, Xue Yi, am one of them. If Xiao Jinxuan can, I would like to advise you not to follow in my footsteps, this road is too tiring and too ruthless, and now death is not a relief for me. ”
In the harem, for the prosperity of the Xue family of his mother's family, and for the endless climbing to the pinnacle of power.
In fact, Xue Yi is right, even if she is tired, but she can't stop this road, otherwise what awaits her will be a merciless attack from political enemies.
Therefore, in order to live a better life, Xue Yi will inevitably dispose of the people who hinder her one by one.
Now that her steps have finally stopped, and when a glass of poisoned wine is drunk, she will also be put to rest, and she will not have to struggle in the endless whirlpool of power.
Regarding Empress Xue's heartfelt advice, Xiao Jinxuan, who has always been tough and strong since she was reborn, is actually very similar to Xue Yi in some ways.
Therefore, the helplessness of the other party and the bitterness hidden behind the ruthlessness, now as Xiao Jinxuan's power grows bigger and bigger, she actually has more insights and understanding than others.
Therefore, at the last moment when Xue Yi was about to die forever, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but let go of her past grievances, and said with a gentle smile:
"Niangniang's mention today, Jinxuan must remember it. How to go in the future, I will take you as a warning, and I will never lose my heart. Now that the time for you to go on the road has arrived, Jinxuan will say goodbye and hope you go all the way. ”
As soon as Xiao Jinxuan finished speaking, she immediately bowed to Xue Yixing's palace rules.
After all, Xue Yi, who is about to die now, no matter how heinous the things she did in the past were, or how much bitterness and helplessness she mixed in.
But it is undeniable that Xue Yi's life is the pinnacle of glory, and her strong and powerful deeds will not be forgotten with her death.
Even if the other party is a woman, she will inevitably leave a strong mark that belongs to her in the history books, so Xiao Jinxuan feels that it is not too much to give the highest standard of worship on the occasion of the other party's final parting.
And seeing that with Xiao Jinxuan's bow, except for Empress Chen, the queen mother whose status is higher than that of the other party, is in the prison.
The rest of the people, out of fear of Xiao Jinxuan, and did not dare to stand when the palace concubine knelt down, all bowed to the ground in unison.
Faced with this situation for a while, Xue Yi couldn't help but feel as if he had become the queen of the Great Zhou who was in the phoenix position again.
For a while, she laughed freely and arrogantly, and then raised her head without regret and drank the poisonous wine in her hand.
