Chapter 593: Imperial Death

Xiangping went to Zhaoyang Palace with a holy decree, announcing that Xiao Jinxuan had been given to death by Bai Aya three days later. 13579246810

This kind of palace secret will naturally not be known to everyone before the incident, and only a few people in the upper echelons will know about it.

And among these people, naturally including Shen Qing, who is now in charge of the harem.

After all, she is Zhou Xianrui's wife, if the other party is not approaching, she should have ascended to the phoenix throne three years later and become the most noble woman in Da Zhou.

But now, with her husband Zhou Xianrui, her life is about to come to an end, and it is difficult for her to get the title after all, and everything has changed.

However, Shen Qing is not a woman who loves vanity, she loves Zhou Xianrui deeply in her life, and her greatest wish is to stay with each other until she grows old and loves her for a hundred years.

But now all this will come to naught, but Shen Qing can't care about it anymore, because she is now thinking about how to save Xiao Jinxuan's life.

So even if the sun is setting outside, the moon is hanging high.

But Shen Qing ordered the palace maid to take out the concubine's skirt that would only be worn on state banquets.

And she has always dressed frugally and unpretentiously, but tonight she combed Du Dan's hair in a bun, wore a crown of red gold and east pearls with a hundred phoenix steps, and the red Jiufeng Chaoyang robe she would wear.

Even if Shen Qing's position is indeed not the queen, the kind of motherly attitude that seems to be born in the world is spontaneously born in her, so that others dare not look up at will.

The palace maid who served her on the side, looking at Shen Qing under heavy makeup, with a dignified and atmospheric attitude, immediately couldn't help but smile and immediately said:

"Niangniang is really good-looking dressed like this, and now the eldest princess of Xiangping has won the power of the assistant harem. Wearing a phoenix robe every day, it is simply swaggering. After all, she is a princess who is about to get married, and where is her turn to point fingers on the affairs of the six palaces. Niangniang is the wife of our majesty's concubine and the future queen. Therefore, you should take out the style of this main palace and suppress the arrogance of the other party. ”

Shen Qing, who was painting his eyebrows for himself with his own hands, heard this, and said with a hint of loneliness in his eyes while chuckling:

"Don't say these words of chewing the root of the tongue, now this harem says that I am in charge, but I am already the queen mother, and the eldest princess covers the sky with one hand. Speaking of which, I, Shen Qing, have no ability myself, if I have half of Jinxuan's ability, I won't be helpless against them. Let these treacherous people make my harem uneasy before the Great Zhou. ”

Zhou Xianrui was lying on the sickbed, so his ears and eyes had long been blinded, and those loyal and righteous words were difficult to reach his palace.

And Shen Qing is different, she watched with her own eyes how Empress Chen first seized the power of the previous dynasty in order to satisfy her rights, and then began to compete with her for control of the harem.

Shen Qing didn't resist and fight, but Xiao Jinxuan gave her advice.

She is not good at conspiracy and trickery, but now she is basically stripped of her rights, so she will sigh just now.

As for her personal palace maid on the side, she naturally knew Shen Qing's difficulties and the grievances she received.

Therefore, although he was also indignant in his heart, he still hurriedly comforted in his mouth:

"Niangniang, don't be sad, the identity of the queen mother is above you, and the eldest princess of Xiangping has also been promoted to the same position as the queen, and it is reasonable that you can't fight them. Anyway, your mother's Shen family is also a prestigious family, and you are still a daughter-in-law. Therefore, they are excessive, and they will not dare to treat you like they persecuted Concubine Xiao. ”

Shen Qing, who was staining her lips as delicate as blood, listened to the palace maid's words of comfort, but the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and then she stood up with a sigh.

As she walked slowly towards the outside of the dormitory, she said in a lonely voice:

"If I live for a long time, then I, Shen Qing, would rather use my own body to make the last fight. Even if I can't defeat Chen Houxiangping, I can't return the trend of clarity in Dazhou. But at least I won't let Jinxuan die in vain, because I know that if she lives, one day she will kill the eldest princess again like she did after defeating Queen Xue, and return me to the peaceful and prosperous world of the Great Zhou. ”

While speaking, Shen Qing also stepped into the sedan chair, and then saw her motioning for the palace maid to come closer, and then said in a low voice:

"Concubine Furong used to save your life, and now it's time for you to repay me. After a while, I will take my phoenix seal, go to Zhaoyang Palace first to ask Jinxuan to get ready, and as soon as the holy decree to let him leave the palace arrives, I will tell her to leave from the North Xuanmen of the imperial city immediately. Then he informed His Royal Highness King Chen outside the palace and told him to prepare the carriage to pick him up. As for you, Fleur, don't come back after you leave the palace, because after tonight, I won't be able to shelter you anymore. ”

After explaining everything properly, ignore Fleur's puzzled face and tears.

After Shen Qing called the phoenix seal into the other party's hands, he sat in a sedan chair and went straight to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Now Yu An has received the order of the Empress Dowager Chen, in order not to call Zhou Xianrui and the outside world.

Therefore, others are absolutely not allowed to enter the Heart Cultivation Palace, and this also includes Shen Qing.

Therefore, it was the same today, Shen Qing almost came to the gate of the Heart Cultivation Palace, but was stopped by Yu An.

But this time she did not leave without any means, but knelt outside the temple, and then shouted in a terrible voice:

"Your Majesty's concubine Shen came to meet her, and I hope that the emperor will be kind enough to allow Qing to enter. Your Majesty, please open the door, the concubine really has something important to tell you. But if you refuse to see me, the concubine will kneel before the temple and never get up. ”

Shen Qing is a beautiful lady and a scholarly background, so she has never been so messed around.

In fact, it was not that Zhou Xianrui was unwilling to see her in the past, it was all because of Yu An, who stopped him from making a hindrance.

Anyway, Shen Qing has never been noisy or noisy, and Zhou Xianrui is a long-term sick person, so Yu An is easy to deal with, and he has no worries at all.

But now that Shen Qing is making trouble, Yu An can't help but panic.

Because Zhou Xianrui has changed his mild treatment to take highly toxic drugs to continue his life.

Now that he is awake, he can't hide the noise.

Sure enough, after seeing Shen Qing shouting twice, Zhou Xianrui had already ordered someone to come out to ask.

As a last resort, Yu An didn't dare to put a cold face, but stepped forward in person, and was about to help Shen Qing get up, and said with a smile:

"Concubine Shen, you see why you are so troubled, the slave is just worried that His Majesty will not have time to be distracted by state affairs. Since the mother is worried, then the slave will accompany you in. ”

Yu An is Empress Dowager Chen's person, which has been revealed during the period when Zhou Xianrui was unconscious, and it is no secret.

Therefore, Shen Qing directly shook off his hand, and didn't even want to look at the other party's hypocritical appearance, and stepped directly into the Heart Cultivation Palace.

And Yu An, who stayed outside, watched with a smile on his face after the door of the dormitory closed.

Immediately, his face sank, and he immediately said to the two attendants beside him:

"Why don't you hurry up and listen to the conversation between His Majesty and Concubine Shen in the palace, and then return to the eldest princess at 1510, and be punished carefully if you delay the business.

Because Xiang Ping looked like he was thinking about what he was doing.

Therefore, Yu An also regarded the other party as half a master, and now he will report everything to the other party.

As for the two chamberlains, they are also the old subordinates that Ji Lingfeng has found, not only with martial arts, but also good at eavesdropping.

Therefore, after receiving the order, the two of them directly and vaguely went up to the eaves of the Heart Cultivation Palace, pried open a glazed tile, and listened to the hall.

And Shen Qing and Zhou Xianrui, who were in the Hall of Cultivating Hearts, were completely ignorant of this.

Seeing that after Shen Qing came in, he knelt down directly to Zhou Xianrui, who was sitting on the dragon couch, and then said coldly with an indifferent expression:

"Your Majesty's concubine begs you to retreat, Qing has something to say to you alone. After all, we are husband and wife, and I hope you will grant my request. ”

Zhou Xianrui, who was on the dragon couch, was actually quite surprised when he saw Shen Qing like this.

After all, in his impression, since he married the other party as his wife, Shen Qing has never used kneeling and crying to make trouble in anything.

Therefore, Zhou Xianrui, who knew the other party's line, also guessed that what Shen Qing was going to talk about next must be a big event.

So when even agreed, and coughed and withdrew from the people who served on the side.

Seeing that the huge Heart Nourishing Hall had become empty in an instant, Shen Qing smiled with relief without any worries.

Then she put her left hand in her arms, and then it appeared in Shen Qing's hand.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Xianrui's pupils shrank. The royal front brought weapons into the palace, which is a capital crime at all, and there is a suspicion of killing the king.

But after many years of husband and wife with Shen Qing, Zhou Xianrui didn't believe that the other party would have the intention of killing him. Therefore, even the cold light made his heart sink terribly.

But he still had a calm bearing, and said calmly in a majestic tone:

"What do you mean by holding it, is it possible that you can't make a move on me."

As soon as he heard this, Shen Qing, who was dressed up and extremely graceful and luxurious, immediately shook his head and chuckled.

Then I saw that her eyes were full of reluctance, and she looked at Zhou Xianrui very affectionately, and then said softly:

"Your Majesty forgives the offended concubines, I still want to call you the prince tonight as usual."

Although Shen Qing's words were in an inquiring tone, she didn't wait for Zhou Xianrui to answer, so she said to herself:

"Lord Wang, in fact, you know, Qing has always loved and admired you, so how could I bear to hurt you. In fact, this was prepared for myself by the concubines, and there were virtuous and loyal people who died in ancient times. Although Qing is a harem woman and child, she also wants to emulate her ancestors, exchange her life for you to see the situation clearly, and don't be confused by Princess Chen and others. You have been sick for a long time in the palace, have you ever known that this former harem has long been controlled by the Queen Mother. The concubine begs you to restore your wisdom, so that even if you die, you will be willing. ”

Shen Qing doesn't have Xue Yi's viciousness, nor does she have Xiao Jinxuan's planning, so she can't control this harem, and she can't afford to deal with Empress Chen and others.

But Shen Qing takes the overall situation into account, and she is also willing to sacrifice herself.

Therefore, in Zhou Xianrui's exclamation, after Shen Qing finished speaking, she did not hesitate at all, and directly inserted it into her own heart.
