When this person is often in a low place, he will be extremely cautious in his words and deeds, but if he suddenly stands on a certain high place, the long-term oppression and tension will only be released.

Some people desperately want to control more, just because she has suffered the kind of pain of looking at people's faces before, so she never wants to change back to the way she was then.

And it is obvious that the current Empress Dowager Chen, the good concubine of Emperor Ming when he was alive, she is now in such a state of mind.

Obviously, she is in the position of the fourth concubine, and she is as noble as the deputy queen, but Empress Xue regards her as a thorn in her side, and always looks for various opportunities to get rid of her quickly.

Therefore, during the period of Emperor Ming, Concubine Liang not only had to pay careful attention to her words and deeds, so as not to be caught by Empress Xue.

At the same time, she has to guard the children around her all day long, so that Empress Xue will find an opportunity to secretly get rid of them.

Therefore, in Empress Chen's view, she has worked hard all her life, and her mother's family is weak and unable to help at all, and now she has finally come out of the hardships, so she should get the same respect and glory.

And power and status are a symbol of status in the eyes of Concubine Liang. And in her heart, she has been bullied by Empress Xue for decades, and now she finally doesn't have to endure it.

So she wants to control the harem, and just like Empress Xue back then, she controls everything about the other party, and vents all the unwillingness that has accumulated deep grievances in the past.

After all, she didn't forget, just when there was a change in the palace, she was even poisoned by Empress Xue, these new and old hatreds were piled up, and Chen Hou never forgot it for a moment.

Therefore, today's Empress Chen, who has been in and out of the harem for many years, actually has no desires in her heart.

It's just that she was extremely patient before, and it wasn't until the identity of the Queen Mother was stable that she exposed her full of **.

And Xiao Jinxuan, who is now living in Zhaoyang Palace, didn't know that after touching Chen Xianrui with a gray nose at Zhou Xianrui, she would come to her with a belly of anger.

Now she is looking at Wen Xin with a frown, and Xiao Jinxuan's expression is extremely solemn, anyone who sees it knows that she will not be in a good mood.

The main reason why she had this look was that Wen Xin gave her a report on the investigation of the mass grave yesterday, and after the other party arrived there, he did not find Ji Lingfeng's body.

Thinking of that bizarre dream, Xiao Jinxuan even had an intuition that Ji Lingfeng might not have died, and she couldn't help but feel even more annoyed that she was indeed careless.

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan hadn't spoken for a long time, and seeing that the other party was in a bad mood, Wen Xin, he had always believed that Ji Lingfeng was definitely dead, so he said comfortingly:

"Jinxuan, don't think nonsense, although Ji Lingfeng's body was not found, but in the place where his body was discarded, an arm with a broken little finger was found. In my opinion, the other party did not flee by cheating, but was eaten by wild dogs, so there are only some blood stains and mutilated bodies, so you should put your heart down. ”

After listening to Wen Xin's words of consolation, Xiao Jinxuan not only showed a trace of joy, but said with a thoughtful look in her eyes:

"Wen Xin, you should know what it means to cover up, if it weren't for a severed finger and stump left at the scene, I might also think that Ji Lingfeng's body was eaten by wild dogs. But don't you think it's too coincidental, why didn't any other stumps remain, but this severed arm that could prove the identity of the other party was left at the scene. No matter how you think about it, I feel that this amputated arm really feels a bit deliberate in it. ”

Because Ji Lingfeng's death was personally checked by Wen Xin, he was sure that the other party's death was indeed true, so in his opinion, all this was Xiao Jinxuan's own thoughts.

And just when he was about to speak out and continue to comfort the other party, don't bother because of Ji Lingfeng's death, he suddenly heard the palace people outside shouting loudly, saying that the Empress Dowager Xi had arrived.

For this former concubine, Wen Xin has not even planned to give Xiao Jinxuan a box of snacks since the last time she learned that the other party was behind her back.

And when the jewelry was given, only Zhaoyang Palace was the most simple and difficult to wear, Wen Xin was full of vigilance and disgust for the Queen Mother of the West.

After all, in his opinion, Xiao Jinxuan has always been respectful to the other party, and helped the royal family to rebel and take charge of the harem to eliminate Empress Xue's minions.

But Xiao Jinxuan has done so much, and even did not hesitate to take deadly pills to alleviate hidden diseases, but in exchange for this kind of wolf-hearted treatment, Wen Xin really felt that it was too unworthy for the other party.

As for Xiao Jinxuan on the side, when she heard that Chen was later, she immediately couldn't care about thinking about Ji Lingfeng's death.

Seeing that although Wen Xin's face was as usual, but there was a vigilant look flashing in his eyes, Xiao Jinxuan immediately guessed the other party's thoughts and thoughts, so she couldn't help but hurriedly admonish:

"Wen Xin will come to the Queen Mother in a while, you must pay attention to your words and deeds, and you must not mess with proportion. After all, the other party is the mother of His Majesty and Xianyu, so it's nothing for us to be polite. I don't want to worry about anything in the past, whether it's pastries or jewelry. After all, in my mind, I still clearly remember the respectable concubine Niangniang in the past, I don't want to have a bad relationship with the other party, and the only one who will be caught in the middle will be Xianyu. ”

Knowing that what Xiao Jinxuan said was reasonable, Shicai did have a little hostility towards Wen Xin in his heart, so he couldn't help but nod, and immediately went down to arrange dim sum and tea in person.

As for Xiao Jinxuan, after tidying up her appearance, she walked out of the dormitory to greet Chen in person.

And when she came to the main gate of Zhaoyang Palace, she saw Empress Chen standing outside the courtyard gate, but she didn't come in.

Xiao Jinxuan, who didn't understand the intention of the other party's actions, didn't wait for her to ask, but she saw the palace maid Chun Xi beside Empress Chen and reprimanded with a displeased face:

"Concubine Xiao, there are already palace people who have said that the Queen Mother has arrived, why did you come out to greet you after so long. You are simply disrespectful to the Queen Mother of the West, and you are still the one in charge of the harem, according to the slave maid, what you did should be punished by the palace rules. I don't know that you, who have always been unkind to everyone in the Six Palaces, will fairly convict and punish yourself, so that Niangniang can serve the public. ”

Yanqing Palace has four joys in spring, summer, autumn and winter, in addition to the winter joy that sold good news to Xiao Jinxuan before, this spring joy is not only sharp-toothed, but also the personal palace maid who has always been the most pleasing to the queen.

Originally, when Empress Chen was still a good concubine, she treated Xiao Jinxuan as her own, and this Chunxi also greeted each other with a smile when she saw each other, extremely respectful and polite.

But with the change of Empress Chen's attitude, in order to please his master, Chunxi will not be too close to Xiao Jinxuan now, which will be an opportunity to reprimand the other party.

But Zhaoyang Palace occupies a lot of land, and it naturally takes some time to walk from the dormitory to the main entrance, which is simply a very normal thing.

Seeing that Chunxi's attitude was so bad, Empress Chen, who was standing outside the palace gate, not only did not say a word of reprimand.

Xiao Jinxuan, who has always been careful, even noticed that a look of satisfaction even flashed in the other party's eyes.

Immediately, Shicai also warned Wen Xin not to be unreasonable Xiao Jinxuan, she can indeed tolerate the small actions made behind Empress Chen's back.

But if she is bullied to the head by a small palace maid in Yanqing Palace and has to endure it, then she is not polite, but weak.

Xiao Jinxuan, who had only promised her all her life in her previous life, rarely chose to back down no matter what kind of situation she faced in this life.

Only because Empress Chen is Zhou Xianrui's adoptive mother, and she is a stepmother who has the grace to raise Zhou Xianyu, Xiao Jinxuan has repeatedly not cared about the other party.

But this will look at the master of Yanqing Palace, and the maid of the palace will all look like she has eaten her because of her previous forbearance.

This will be even more humiliating and wanton provocation, and Xiao Jinxuan is not ready to endure it anymore.

Immediately, seeing that Xiao Jinxuan didn't say a word, she immediately waved her hand, pointed directly at Chunxi, and then ordered the guards of Zhaoyang Palace:

"I was still stunned, and immediately took down this thing that had no dignity in my eyes. After the concubine was negligent and rude to the Queen Mother, the mother herself did not ask the concubine, Chun Xi, you are just a mere palace maid, why do you question the concubine. Unless your words are taught by the Queen Mother, if this is the case, the concubine will naturally not touch you. But when the Empress Dowager Xi was still a good concubine, she had a reputation for being virtuous and generous in the palace, but the concubine didn't believe that it was the other party's intention if she was so vicious and difficult. ”

Seeing that after Xiao Jinxuan said this, she looked at her with a smile, and was satisfied with Chunxi's performance, and after watching the play silently, Chen Hou, who was silent and watching the play, was stunned even if she was questioned, and didn't know how to answer it.

After all, if Empress Chen agrees with Chunxi's statement and protects the other party, she will inevitably have a reputation as a conniving palace person and a rude concubine.

is even more completely bad with the positive Xiao Jinxuan, and if he can't say it well, he will be dissatisfied with Zhou Xianrui, as well as Zhou Xianyu's grievances.

But if she didn't protect Chunxi, she asked the people of Zhaoyang Palace to punish the people of Yanqing Palace in front of her, and Empress Chen couldn't afford to lose this person.

Even if I have seen with my own eyes how difficult Xiao Jinxuan was before, especially this mouth is like a knife, she has always spoken softly, but she directly forced people to be red-faced, and she had no power to fight back.

But after all, Empress Chen and Xiao Jinxuan had a common enemy before, so she had not personally comprehended the strength of the other party.

And now, seeing Xiao Jinxuan's few words, not only relieved herself, but also immediately reversed her.

Immediately, Empress Chen's idleness in Zhou Xianrui had not dissipated, and he would be very angry again, and immediately felt a lot of pain in his heart.

As for the guards of Zhaoyang Palace, they were all elite soldiers promoted by Zhou Xianyu directly to Xiao Jinxuan from the Beijing military camp.

Therefore, they don't care about the identity of Empress Chen standing in front of them, obeying orders and acting is the most important thing for these guards.

So ignoring Chunxi's frightened appearance, she was immediately forcibly pulled out of Empress Chen's side by two guards, and was immediately escorted to her knees at Xiao Jinxuan's feet.

In the past few months, because the influence of Empress Xue in the palace was too great. Since Xiao Jinxuan took over the harem, in order to quickly suppress and pacify the Sixth Palace, everyone who has anything to do with the rebellion will basically be killed.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan is definitely ruthless and extremely feared in the eyes of everyone in the harem.

Shicai thought that Chunxi, who had the support of Empress Chen, saw that Xiao Jinxuan captured her without saying a word, but his queen mother was squeezed and couldn't protect her safely.

For a while, Chunxi looked at Xiao Jinxuan, who was staring at her condescendingly, and thought of the bloody storm that the other party had set off in the harem in the past few months.

Immediately, I secretly hated and regretted my mouthy Chunxi, and the arrogant and mean face of Shicai was gone.

Instead, she waved her hand immediately and slapped her face dozens of times.

After Chunxi beat her face red and swollen, and the corners of her mouth were oozing blood, she looked at Xiao Jinxuan with tears in her eyes, and kowtowed vigorously and begged for mercy.
