In Rongxiu Palace, Guo Chong stood under the blue screen window of the Spring Pavilion with his hands, his face was pale. Behind him, Concubine Rong Wei, who was full of panic and tears, fell prostrate on the ground and couldn't kneel for a long time. Her rich clothes were full of wrinkles, and her hair was unkempt. There is no graceful posture, and the whole person seems to be twenty or thirty years old.

An hour ago, Concubine Rong received the news that Guo Chong was going to take charge of Rongxiu Palace. The emperor wants to have dinner in Rongxiu Palace, which is the first time in a long time. For a long time, the emperor has not come to Rongxiu Palace. The emperor is old, his body is not as good as before, and he doesn't touch the concubines anymore, plus he is already old, and the emperor has more energy on those young and beautiful concubines. This is also something that can't be helped, a young and beautiful body will always make a man linger.

Since the death of his son Guo Hao, although Wei Yourong still wants to give birth to a boy and a half girl, but after so many years, there has been no result. As I grew older, my heart faded. After proving that Green Dance was his daughter, Wei Yourong was ecstatic. She secretly congratulated herself that God had treated her well, and her daughter was still alive in the world after all. Although she didn't fulfill her mother's duties to her, although the appearance of Green Dance couldn't change the status quo, and they couldn't even recognize each other publicly, but after all, she still had her own flesh and blood in this world. This suddenly added a lot of brightness to her life. I used to be very concerned about the emperor's intimacy, but suddenly I felt that it wasn't that important.

But tonight, the emperor is coming to Rongxiu Palace to spend the night, which is also a great joy. Although I don't have much hope for giving birth to an heir, I am still attractive to the emperor and can be favored by the emperor, which is always the most desired thing as a concubine. What's more, now that the secret battle for the crown prince is in full swing, what can be done in the harem is to weaken Concubine Mei's status in the emperor's heart. If Concubine Mei is around the emperor every day, it will be detrimental to the situation. So it's always good to be able to share pets, blow the pillow wind, and sing the opposite. Not for the sake of the eldest prince, but also for the sake of the future of the Wei family. When Guo Xu becomes the emperor, he must not have a good life, and the Wei family does not have a good life.

Therefore, after getting the news that the emperor was coming, Concubine Rong immediately began to prepare. Someone ordered the Rongxiu Palace to be cleaned immediately and pruned the branches of the flowers. I dressed up in the mirror, applied powder thinly, and changed into my favorite long skirt with red peony flowers. Put on the phoenix crown and the veil. Dressed up gracefully and gorgeously. All of a sudden, it was as if I was a teenager younger.

Then, Emperor Guo Chong came with a group of guards and chamberlains like a gust of wind.

When Concubine Rong stepped forward to greet Shili, she felt that something was wrong. The emperor's face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of anger. He didn't say 'Concubine Ai' as affectionately as usual, his first sentence was: "All the people of Rongxiu Palace went out, and all of them were detained in the wing room waiting for inquiry." No one is allowed to enter or exit, and Rongxiu Palace is blocked. ”

Concubine Rong was stunned at that time, and knelt there at a loss. She realized that something big seemed to be happening, but she still didn't anticipate it. She subconsciously wanted to order someone to inform the Queen Mother, but found that there was no one in the house who was in her Rongxiu Palace.

"The Emperor...... Emperor...... This is...... What's going on? Concubines...... Did the concubine make a big mistake? Concubine Rong stammered and asked.

Guo Chong snorted coldly and said, "You come to ask me?" I'm going to ask you. Don't you know what you've done? ”

Concubine Rong said in a low voice: "Concubine...... Stupid, I don't know what? Please let the emperor make it clear. ”

"Hehe, you're still pretending at this point. Well, I'll show you this...... Take a good look at it. ”

A loud sound sounded, and a book of music was thrown out of Guo Chong's hand, smashed into Concubine Rong's shoulder, and then fell in front of Concubine Rong. Concubine Rong trembled and reached out to pick it up, and after only half a page, her face had changed abruptly, and her whole body trembled.

Guo Chong looked at her coldly, clenched his back molars tightly, and forcibly endured the anger in his heart. It wasn't until Concubine Rong quickly finished reading the recital that Guo Chong shouted coldly: "Have you finished reading it?" Got it? What else do you have to say? ”

Concubine Rong's whole body was already paralyzed on the ground, and she didn't have any strength in her body. She never expected that the thing she was most worried about would finally be found out and finally known by the emperor. What I had feared countless times in my nightmares finally became a reality. I hope that this secret will never be known, but in response to the old saying, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and it was the East Window Incident that happened after all.

"Your Majesty...... Concubines...... Concubine ......" Concubine Rong trembled, trembling and unable to speak.

"Do you still want to deny it? The testimonies are all there, and they will be sent to the palace soon. I am not afraid of your denial, I will confront you face to face. You can deny it, I don't care, and I won't believe you. Guo Chong said coldly.

Concubine Rong was stunned for a long time, kowtowed and said: "The concubine deserves to die, the concubine confesses, the concubine deserves to die, I only ask the emperor to give her a death." ”

At this moment, Concubine Rong regretted her original thoughts. Why did he order someone to let go of the Chen family and her children in the first place? If you want this matter to be a secret forever, you should order Lu Feiming's entire family to be killed. But Concubine Rong quickly rejected her idea. Is he going to kill even his daughter? Could it be that even Lu Feiming's flesh and blood were killed? If you can't do it yourself, you can't do it yourself. If I had done that, I would have to suffer in regret and pain now. Although he is often tormented by pain now, at least Green Dance is alive and well. Lu Feiming's flesh and blood are also alive. It's the only thing I can talk to. Comforting thing.

"Concubine Rong, you disappointed me so much, you told me, why did you do such a ridiculous thing? Where do you save my face? Where is the royal dignity? You tell me, what is it about me that can't stand you? Are you going to be so emboldened? Well? Guo Chong slammed the table in front of him and asked.

"The emperor is angry, it's not a pity for the concubine to die, and the emperor can't be angry. It's all the concubines who were confused and did something wrong. The concubine accepted the punishment and was willing to be punished by Ling Chi. Concubine Rong said with tears in her eyes.

"Confused? You're going to shirk it, is this something you can do in a moment of confusion? Hmph, you want to die? Don't panic. No one can save you this time, and I won't spare you. You tell me, what is it about me that doesn't stand for you? Why are you doing this to me? Why do you do such a rebellious thing? Why? Answer me! Guo Chong shouted.

"Your Majesty...... Why did the concubine do this, the concubine didn't know what to say. Concubines...... In fact, it is just for survival. Does the emperor know how difficult it is to live by the emperor's side? Concubine Rong muttered.

"I've forced you? I love you so much, why did I ever force you? Can't you live by my side? Bastard, you create your own iniquity, but you push me back, I see that you have no intention of repenting. Guo Chong rebuked angrily.

"No, no, no, that's not what the concubine meant. Emperor...... Don't you know...... Is it important to have children in the harem? The queen gave birth to a prince, Concubine Mei gave birth to a prince, and the concubines have no heirs, how can there be a place? The concubine had such an idea, wanting to be able to stand in the harem, so she ...... Just...... Confused to make such confusion is. The emperor was angry, the death of the concubine was not a pity, and he was willing to accept the guilt, and the concubine knew that she had made a big mistake. But ask for one death, and ask for nothing else. Concubine Rong kowtowed repeatedly, her hair was scattered, and the phoenix crown also fell.

Guo Chong frowned, he also understood that what Concubine Rong said was not a complete prevarication. This is the case in the harem, and it is an unwritten rule of the royal family that the mother is valued by the son. None of the concubines want to give birth to a prince, once a prince is born, their identities are very different. Even if you are as expensive as a concubine, you are afraid of having no heirs.

However, Guo Chong believes that this is not an absolute reason. With Concubine Rong's status, she doesn't need to worry about the so-called foothold problem. She is the niece of the Queen Mother, and no one may be able to gain a foothold, but it is not her.

"I'm not good enough for you? You don't have a place in the harem? Nonsense! It's clear that you have a different mind. You are the niece of the Queen Mother, how can I not be good to you? Even for the sake of the queen, it is impossible for me to snub you. You're not competing for a seat at all. You're lying. Guo Chong shouted coldly.

"Your Majesty, the emperor is naturally fine when he is here, but what about afterward? What if the emperor is not there? Who can a concubine rely on? Concubines can't help but think about the future. If the concubine has no heirs, she will have no support in the future. The concubine was stupid, and it was precisely because of this consideration at that time that she was confused and made a big mistake. The concubine deserves death! ”

Guo Chong frowned and pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "This reason is too far-fetched, you can't deceive me, I still know something about you." You're not doing this for anything. According to what you say, aren't all these childless concubines in the palace in danger of themselves? Didn't the concubines of the former emperor raise them well, didn't they also live well? You must have done so for a different purpose. I think about it, I think about it, what is the purpose of what you are doing this? That's it...... You want to give birth to a prince and use the power of the Queen Mother to compete for the throne in the future. Why? Yes, yes, you are thinking about yourself and your family. You are worried that your Wei family will fall out of favor in the future, and you want to give birth to a prince to compete for the throne. It's disgusting, you slut, do you know what you're doing? You are changing the cage for birds, moving the foundation of my Great Zhou Guo clan. That Guo Hao is not my heir, and he does not have my blood flowing on his body. Don't you realize how unorthodox it is for you to do this? You're going to ruin my big week. You slut, I can't wait to break your body into thousands of pieces, don't even think about living any of your Wei family, I want to kill all of your Wei family, and no one will be left. You almost ruined my Guo family. Slut! Slut! ”
