Xinghua has been in the harem for more than 30 years, even if she doesn't have her father and brother in the court, she still has the dignity of the queen mother. Therefore, since the end of the month, the concubine has been secretly investigated. The concubine is now obsessed with the love affair with the emperor's children, and she has lost her deafness and vision in the past. In addition, she and the emperor are like this, and they have long attracted the vinegar of the harem, although she is a little fox, it is not so easy to copy her bottom, but it is not difficult to ascend to the sky.

Xinghua secretly asked people to check a few proud minions around Scarlet Heart first, the death of Xiuling's parents is difficult to control, and Chang Fu has no relatives since he entered the palace since he was a child. However, Xiucai still has a family living in Zhili, she found someone to take the embroidery family to detain Beijing, and directly use embroidery as a breakthrough. She didn't know very well about the matter of 200,000 taels, but she did know about the matter of jade, and it was enough for Ruan Xinghua.

She took advantage of the emperor's spring siege to suddenly lead people to search the palace, and deliberately detained the embroidery in front of the scarlet heart, leading her to mess up. Even if she can't get real evidence at that time, she has something to say to the emperor.

Sure enough, Chang Fu, one of the most proud servants in her palace that night, panicked. Chang Fu has always worshiped high and stepped on low in the palace, and he is a famous wall grass. That night, he found an opportunity to get out of the Hui Palace and report to Xinghua secretly, but this secret report almost didn't make Xinghua vomit three liters of blood, and he was extremely angry!

200,000 taels, sure enough, it is the soul money to take care of the Yin Division, 200,000 taels, it is her father Ruan Danqing's life! Le Zheng is scarlet, this woman who is as poisonous as a snake and scorpion. She is used to disobeying the yang and the yin, and she dared to do this, even the emperor kept her in the dark. She quietly transferred the matter to the emperor, causing Xinghua to suspect that it was the emperor's instigation until a few days ago! The concubine murdered the courtiers in the front, asked for a huge amount of money to make up for the void, and now she still spends her favor in the harem, her vicious heart, and the conspiracies are endless, and no one can beat it! Let Xinghua see her and want to beat her to death!

"In March of the previous year, you deliberately missed the emperor's route to the palace. ordered Lin Xueqing to be canonized in advance, so as to sell favors to the Lin family. Is there such a thing? Xinghua saw her kneeling without saying a word, slowly leaned up, stared at her and asked.

At that time, the queen mother was dissatisfied that the concubines only led Wu Concubine to live in another garden, and the concubines were terrified. Therefore, it is not allowed to let Concubine De enter the palace first, so as to divert the Queen Mother's attention. Scarlet replied in a deep voice.

"Very good, then you blame the mourning family for being in charge of the harem and arbitrarily condemning people to death?" Xinghua sneered, adding three points of anger to his face.

"The concubine doesn't dare." Kowtowed to the ground, "The concubine is just a little dust in front of the Queen Mother, dare to blame the Queen Mother?" ”

"By May, you had asked the Lin family for three thousand taels of silver, but is there such a thing?" Xinghua continued to ask.

"The concubine has spent too much, and her mother's family is far away in Huai'an. Therefore, it is not allowed to borrow money from foreign ministers! ”

"Borrow? How have you ever paid it back? The Queen Mother sneered, "In November, you asked the Lin family for silver again, and this time the excuse was to help Lin Xueqing ascend to the throne of concubine and ask for 200,000 taels." It's true! ”

When he heard this, he hurriedly leaned over and said in a trembling voice: "The concubine happened to hear that the emperor intended to seal the concubine, and she was greedy for a while. I think that Lin Xueqing will be tempted and willing to spend this money. So ......"

"Where are you spending this money? 200,000 taels, pile up to build a house! Do you know how old you are in this dynasty? Ruan Xinghua stepped down and stepped on Scarlet Heart's hand, making her whole body tremble in pain. She couldn't hold back her hand, and a cold sweat was already rising: "The concubine knows that her crime is unforgivable, but she really doesn't dare to hide it, and the concubine has not received this payment." Besides, even if the concubine is accepted, she has to ask someone to exchange it outside, 200,000 taels, wouldn't the concubine have to let people redeem it a hundred and ten times before she can get it back? I implore the Queen Mother to see clearly, and the Lin family only gave more than 20,000 to the concubines in the end, and never gave 200,000! ”

"Of course you didn't receive so much, you used the rest of the money to seal your mouth!" Xinghua lifted her foot, but kicked her shoulder, kicking Scarlet Heart to the ground. She stared at Scarlet Heart with tears on her face, and gritted her teeth: "You didn't expect that, right? Your minions reported to the mourning family yesterday, how do you pass it on, how do you check the whereabouts of Da Sima, and how do you buy the murderer! You know that the emperor and Da Sima have repeatedly clashed in the court, and the emperor is upset. took this opportunity to take action to separate the mourning family and the emperor's mother and son. Even if you take advantage of the concubine in charge of the harem, the emperor has pity for you, and everything will be foretold to you, so he asked the Lin family for silver to fill your huge deficit. Then take the opportunity to take charge of the bureau and hide this matter! Even the mourning family and the emperor have been played by you in the palm of your hand, you have such a great ability! ”

Le Zheng is scarlet to manage contacts in the palace, and the furnishings of the Hui Palace are luxurious. Her mother's family was far away in Huai'an, so she kept in touch with her foreign ministers, intending to transfer her father to the north. At that time, the military department and the central collection were all in charge of the Ruan family. She didn't show up for her family at all on the surface, and she never mentioned it when she was facing the Queen Mother. But secretly from time to time to win over the people of the three divisions! These are the letters sent by Chang Fu, including her letters to Lin Xiao. But unfortunately, Lin Xiao was very unwilled in the central gathering order at that time, and he couldn't help her at all.

She became angry with the Nguyen clan and kept waiting for an opportunity to move. Taking advantage of the confrontation between the emperor and the Ruan family, the people who bought the rivers and lakes assassinated Ruan Danqing. She is a noble concubine, and she has all the business connections, so it is not strange that her hand reaches to Xinghua Pavilion Wenhua Pavilion, and it is not difficult to find out Ruan Danqing's daily whereabouts. Her family started in business, and the clan and others traveled around the rivers and lakes in their early years to know heroes! She got up early in the morning to make it more likely that she would pass on some news by asking her family to help her find some strange flowers and trees.

After Ruan Danqing's violent death, of course, the emperor wanted to take the opportunity to promote rookies and consolidate his team, and of course he would not vigorously investigate Ruan Danqing's violent death. She can take advantage of this wind to avoid the limelight, and at the same time shift everyone's attention to the emperor. Because of Ruan Danqing's death, the biggest beneficiary is, of course, the emperor. Xinghua naturally only suspected that it was the emperor's doing, plus the emperor was abolished at that time. The Queen Mother Ruan Xinghua was afraid that the Lin family would borrow Xueqing to take the throne, and she made a mistake in her busyness, but she actually helped this poisonous woman. The gap between Xinghua and the emperor is deepening, and the relationship between mother and son is becoming more and more cold.

The emperor was raised by Xinghua single-handedly, although he was not his own child, he was still better than his own child. Ruan Danqing has always treated the emperor more than his relatives, although he is powerful, but he has never rebelled. When Ruan Danqing died violently, Xinghua was extremely painful, and suspected that the emperor ignored the past and let her father die in vain. Although she is extremely glorious, she is a dry bone, and she can only watch as a child. How can she not be in pain, and how can she not be cold? Xueqing's pregnancy is also the emperor's flesh and blood, she was angry and anxious, and did stupid things without planning, so that their mother and son could be separated.

It turned out that it was all this vicious woman who profited from it! Thinking about the bits and pieces of the past two years, the emperor is respectful and honorable, never leaves the province behind every day, and does his best to be filial, asking for warmth and cold Chenghuan. Let Xinghua even more eyes rush to blood and cry endlessly!

Xinghua has been in the palace for thirty years, and she has never beaten anyone, and she has a noble status, so she can't punish her personally. Now seeing the enemy who killed his father, he can't wait to kick her to death. But after all, she had seen the storm, so she kicked it and suppressed her anger. Seeing that the scarlet sideburns were scattered, and his face was dead, he said coldly: "You didn't expect it, right? Your secret letter to Lin Xiao will fall into the hands of the mourning family. The minions you raised will let you suffer the consequences in the end! ”

Scarlet trembled all over, and tears flowed from her eyes. But instead of fear, she trembled with excitement! This is the most beautiful battle she has won with her happy heart!

yes, she wrote it yesterday. The Queen Mother asked Lin Xiao for confirmation, and Lin Xiao would admit it even if he knew that he was making something out of nothing. Because he wants to help his daughter ascend to the throne, he can't wait for one more sin in his heart!

Scarlet Heart has seen through people's hearts, and she understands the mood of the Queen Mother at this time. The Queen Mother hated her to the bone, but she was merciful to the emperor! Who is going to blame themselves at this time? She is happy to be happy, because what she wants this time is not to retreat from the whole body, let alone fame. She wants to abandon the pawn to protect the handsome, she wants to let the queen mother and the emperor get rid of their suspicions, and she wants to help the emperor pass this hurdle.

As long as there is the support of the Queen Mother, the old ministers naturally want to buy the face of the Queen Mother, and respecting the Queen Mother is respecting the first emperor. The emperor opens a new political situation, and there is no need to fight for a long time!

She can no longer redeem the trust of the Queen Mother, let alone make the Queen Mother like it. Even if the queen mother endured the matter of 200,000 taels, how could the Lin family give up so easily? If it is directly stabbed upward, it is not just a royal scandal. Jintai law, greedy for money is a great sin! What should the emperor do then? And the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother will become a thorn in the queen mother's heart that cannot be pulled out because of her. The relationship between the two will only become more and more stiff, no matter what she does, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, she is a greedy and repeated villain.

She must not let the emperor be in a dilemma, since she has no way to retreat, it is better to simply smear it again. What's more, now there is the Lin family helping her, helping her to smear her even blacker. The full use of what can be used, her relationship network, is now used to tie herself to death, and completely let the emperor clean up. From now on, it is the Queen Mother who owes the emperor!

The Queen Mother wants to use Chang Fu and Xiuling as witnesses, and the two of them can be at peace for the time being. The Queen Mother will not publicize this matter, and publicizing it will only bring shame to the royal family. The murder of Da Sima by the noble concubine is a big joke in the whole country when it spreads! The big Sima who can fight well, the big Sima who has great achievements, actually let the concubine of the harem find someone to kill at will, of course the queen mother can't afford to lose this person, and the royal family of Jintai Xuanping can't afford to lose this person!

On March 17, the Empress Dowager asked the palace to be searched, and on March 18, the concubine went to the Queen Mother to ask for peace, but she did not return until late. On March 19, the concubine went to ask for peace again, but this time she didn't return until night. On March 20, the news suddenly came that the concubine was sick. The Empress Dowager ordered the imperial doctor to consult, and at the same time informed the palaces that the concubine's illness was menacing, and in order to prevent infection, the palaces should not visit. The atmosphere in the palace has been strange in the past few days, and even Mrs. Jinghua has not received any news in advance. Suddenly, he said that the concubine was seriously ill, which made everyone in the palace panic but did not dare to speak.

The Queen Mother has been very angry these days, and on the night of the 17th, she received a secret report from Chang Fu. Overnight, he secretly went out of the palace to find Lin Xiao to ask for a certificate of whether the letter was true, Lin Xiao immediately admitted it, and said that the concubine was threatening to help Xueqing enter the palace, and asked him to transfer the concubine's father Le Zhengliao to the north to take up a post. But because Lin Xiao was unwilling to be in the central collection at that time, he was unable to help her. The concubine repeatedly asked him for money and asked him to build bridges to contact the various departments of the military department to dredge up the relationship.

Xinghua didn't close his eyes all night: Lin Xiao was brought up by the emperor, and he didn't do him any good by framing the emperor's favorite concubine. Besides, if Xue Qing didn't poke it out, no one would want to mention it. It was Lin Xiao, when the Queen Mother asked him, he was also reluctant to say more. The more he was like this, the more the Queen Mother felt that it was true. Because the concubine brought Xue Qing into the palace, but the Lin family couldn't give her benefits, the concubine used this as a coercion and repeatedly asked for money, and the Lin family only had a dumb share. Lin Xueqing is poisonous and does not do things through the brain. But Xinghua turned over such a big old case because of this, which made her really white overnight!

On March 18, when the concubine asked for peace, the queen mother forced the concubine to ask. As a result, the concubine was powerless to argue because of the betrayal of Chang Fu's confidant. Although she refused to admit it, Xinghua already had a bottom in her heart. On the same day, Xiu Ling was also detained, and when Xiu Ling saw that Chang Fu had already filled the human witness, he knew that there would be no life if he continued to hide it, so he simply vomited everything he knew. Xinghua was so angry that her eyes were as red as blood, and she couldn't wait to slaughter Le Zheng all and avenge her father!

But Xinghua knew that she couldn't make a public deal about it. First, the Lin family has a head and face in the court, and the emperor personally promoted it. If this matter is poked out, the Lin family will be implicated first, which is equivalent to demolishing the emperor's platform. Now that I think about it, she can't stand the emperor. How can you still be willing to trouble him because of this matter? Second, the concubine is greedy and asks for a huge amount of money, which is a royal facelessness. A noble concubine of the dignified Xuanping Dynasty was so greedy that she abducted and deceived foreign ministers, and did everything she could. Back then, it was Xinghua who single-handedly selected the concubine and put it by the emperor's side, but now that this kind of thing happens, the emperor will be ashamed. Third, buying a murderer to assassinate a senior member of the DPRK and the Central Committee is a big deal, and this is not just a matter for the concubine's family. Chasing up, the person was promoted by the Queen Mother, and downward, the Lin family indirectly provided the gag silver. As a result, the Wenhua Pavilion Xinghua Pavilion, which provided the information, included the guards of the Nine Gates who had passed at that time. Le Zheng is a little prostitute, and now she has pulled out hundreds of people to bury her. The so-called law does not hold the people accountable, not to mention that the turmoil in the DPRK and China is too huge, which is really inappropriate!

Therefore, Xinghua detained the concubine in Shouchun Palace on the 19th, saying that he was staying to talk to her, but in fact he asked her to write a confession. On the 20th, he said that the concubine was sick and put her under house arrest first. The people who replaced all the big and small minions in the Scarlet Heart Palace with the Shouchun Palace, detained Chang Fu, Xiuling, and Xiucai in the Shouchun Palace. On the one hand, he strengthened the collection of evidence, and on the other hand, he sent a letter to the emperor quickly, so that the emperor could come back and deal with it.

The reason why she decided to report it quickly was because she thought about it, although she was in pain, it didn't hurt the emperor. It was she who single-handedly sent Le Zheng's heart to him, and it was she who wanted to insert her eyes and ears through this woman. It was her selfish motives that harmed the emperor! If it had been a year ago, she would have not hesitated to execute Scarlet Heart first. But now, of course she understands the pain in the emperor's heart. During the trip to the south, he was desperate for Lezheng. Now, if he wants to see this woman clearly, won't it break his heart and liver? When Xinghua wrote this letter, he was full of feelings. On the 20th, it was said that the concubine was sick, but in fact, she also fell ill on the couch.

The emperor rode back to Beijing on the 23rd, without a ceremonial driver, and only took a few light riding cronies to gallop back day and night! When he received the secret letter from the Queen Mother, it was like five thunderbolts! He never expected that such a huge change would occur in Chunwei in a few days! What he couldn't accept even more was that Scarlet confessed his guilt without waiting for him to come back, and actually took Ruan Danqing's death on herself!

She had the intention of killing herself, and she knew that after the silver two matter was revealed, the Lin family would not give up, and would definitely push everything to her for self-preservation. Even if they stab the court, the Lin family is also a victim of coercion. Besides, Lin Xiao now wants to help him rehabilitate, and this person will fall at this time, which is equivalent to letting him lose his arm first. She simply didn't do anything, so as to take on the whole matter, so as to help him mend the relationship with the Queen Mother, not only to be repaired, but also to be better than before! Not only that, the Lin family is palpitating about this matter, and they will go forward to succeed them. When he implements the new law, it will be like a tiger with wings!

Le Zheng is scarlet, you are really a complete bastard! She had used the trick of abandoning the pawn to protect the handsome, but she didn't expect that she would use it so thoroughly now! After Yun Xi received the letter, he vomited blood, which frightened Wang Chenghai and the others not knowing what to do. No one knew what was written in the letter, but it caused the emperor to do so. Yun Xi was ordered to return to Beijing at that time, and he didn't wait for anyone to prepare, so he ran across the horse.

Along the way, Yun Xi only felt that there was an endless roar in his head, and this dull stick hit him to pieces. All I could see in my mind was her face. One by one, one by one, scattered and gathered! The most famous Le Zheng scarlet heart, the most hypocritical her. What about her reputation now? Once she confesses such a sin, how will her reputation be ruined? He understood that she had given him her fame. They are too similar, they are all people who give grace and hope for retribution. Now she gave him the greatest favor and then demanded that he reciprocate. If he owes her, he will use the emperor's identity to repair the mother-son relationship and his affection for her. Do your best to maintain her posthumous name! The Queen Mother will not publicize this matter, but will only deal with it secretly. At that time, she can still have a good reputation, and he will also preserve the glory of the Lezheng family. Her last plan is enough for everyone, including him!

Running wildly all night, there was only frost and snow left in Yun Xi's eyes, but his people calmed down, in fact, he was not calm, he was crazy in his heart, but on the surface he was completely calm. This night's running tested the maximum of his inner pressure ability, he thought about countless pasts, it turned out that the memories of the past twenty years, the clearest was all her!

After entering the palace, Yun Xi had calmed down to a terrifying level. Wang Chenghai almost didn't follow him to death all the way, but now seeing that he is getting calmer and calmer, his heart is becoming more and more afraid. Yun Xi went to the Hui Palace, because the Hui Palace was closer to the middle court.

Scarlet Heart was sitting in the Caifang Palace, holding a glass of water in her hand. Now, there is no more than half a familiar minion here. Mo Chengyong was instructed by the Queen Mother to bring people to temporarily take care of the Hui Palace, he knew that the scarlet heart was at the end, so he had the heart to get out of the previous grievances, if he wanted to kill people in the palace, sometimes he didn't need a stick at all. In the past two days, no one has taken care of the tea and rice, and no one has taken care of the clothes. The so-called wall is pushed by everyone, and they all have to calculate the things that should be scarred, and they don't know how much they have deducted in the middle. But after two or three days, I really tossed my heart like a tuberculosis ghost.

It doesn't matter if she is scarlet, the dying person still cares about what kind of tea and rice, but she is checkmate, and she refuses to be unkempt and untidy, at this time she is still light and delicate, and her long hair is neat. She hasn't received any news in the past few days, and she doesn't know how Chang Fu and Xiu Ling embroider are. However, she understands that the Queen Mother will not deal with them at this time, and she will keep them as witnesses. As for the future, if the emperor is still worried about the love between him and her, he will naturally give them a way to live, and if the emperor is angry about this matter, she will be helpless. Fury, he will. She knew him, and it came so suddenly, that she had taken matters into her own hands without consulting him. With his temper, he will be angry! But she doesn't regret doing it, she can only do it.

She looked at the cup in her hand, the water was cold, and she gently shook the cup to drink. Suddenly, I heard a commotion outside, and then there was the sound of hurried footsteps. She was slightly stunned, and before she could react, there was already a flower in front of her, Yun Xi strode towards her with a pair of eyes, and her heart shook and she was about to get up. Suddenly, with a wave of his hand, he threw the cup in her hand out, turned around and kicked at Mo Chengyong who followed up, Mo Chengyong didn't react at all, this kick was kicking into his belly, kicking his whole person out, knocking down a few folding screens, and the whole person shrank on the ground and curled up straight to pump! Several eunuchs kneeling at the folding door were dumbfounded, and they didn't dare to raise their heads at all, and no one dared to say a word.

Yun Xi didn't look at it at all, Wang Chenghai stretched out his hand and beckoned someone to drag Mo Chengyong out, and blasted out along with a few people on the side. Yun Xi finished kicking Mo Chengyong and turned to stare at Scarlet Heart, at this time she had already got up and knelt on the ground, staring at the floor without raising her head. Yun Xi squinted, reached out and grabbed her, almost lifted her up, and with a slick of one hand, her whole person was out of control, and let him carry it all the way to the bedroom behind the folding screen. He dragged her all the way to a corner of the hall and slammed her against the wall. Scarlet Heart's feet were off the ground, and she couldn't care about the pain in her body, and she saw at a glance a pair of his eyes that contained a storm. It's like crazy!

"Do you think I can take your affection? When you died, I covered your face with ashes, and shrouded your body in rags. Drag all the way back to Huainan! One or two, according to your authentic genealogy, behead them all and expose them to the market! Yun Xi pinched her bones, as if she wanted to crush her. These words were sharp and piercing, making the scarlet heart break out in a cold sweat. In the past two days, Scarlet Heart has been hungry, so at this time, he dragged and pulled violently, and immediately began to retch.

He was pinching her shoulder, and the pain made her gasp again and again, and she reached out to break his hand, and the wound on her left hand was immediately obvious! Yun Xi's hand trembled, and she suddenly let go and turned to leave. Scarlet had stars in her eyes, but when she saw him turn around, she reacted very quickly, and struggled to pounce to stop him. She staggered over a few steps, reached for the hem of his coat, and tossed him aside. Scarlet Heart was about to fall down, and his hands and feet hugged his legs with a forward lunge: "No, don't go!" ”

Yun Xi lowered her eyes and looked at her: "Let go." As he spoke, his toes moved slightly, facing her chest.

"Can't go!" Scarlet gritted her teeth, her hair was already scattered, and she was scattered. She looked up at him, she knew where he was going, she couldn't let him go!

"Get out of here!" Yun Xi suddenly hunched her knees and dragged half of her body up, didn't kick her, and threw her aside with a little force on her legs. Scarlet rolled twice, struggled to get up again, and he was already heading towards the temple gate. Her eyes were black, and she didn't stand up with her hands messing around, and she felt that her mouth was so salty. She desperately scratched the ground twice, and suddenly shouted in her mouth: "Yunxi, please don't go!" As he spoke, the blood in his mouth overflowed, and tears followed! Don't go to the Queen Mother to explain everything, if you can't help her, it will only drag him down! She couldn't say so much, just big tears fell. The tears shed at the Queen Mother at that time were fake, she was not heartbroken at all, she was completely immersed in the excitement of the success of the plan. But now, she felt like she was dying of pain!

Yun Xi heard her call, she was calling his name! He hated it in his heart, but his body was difficult to move. He couldn't control his behavior, and for a moment he felt that people were being torn in half. He looked back at her, and saw that she was blind, with her eyes open but difficult to gather a certain point, and her mouth was a red color, which contrasted with the miserable whiteness of her face!

Yun Xi's fingers trembled, and her body disobediently stepped back to pull her, Scarlet grabbed his sleeve, retched a few times, and struggled to say, "Don't go, don't go!" ”

Yun Xi dragged her up, grabbed her hair and laughed softly, her eyes were damp but she was about to cry: "The concubine is so strategic, loyal to the Lord!" Until the land of death can still plan for me, I will take your wonderful move. With such a noble concubine seeking kindness, I will have peace of mind from now on! ”

Scarlet listened to his words, and his voice sounded like it was floating in the sky. She gasped slightly, her scalp made him pull painfully, and she reached out: "I know you hate me, you hate me and don't have to drag ......"

He leaned over and whispered, "You're a stinky chess basket of your own opinions!" As he spoke, he took a deep breath, loosened her hair, pursed his lips slightly, and pursed his throat, "Have you ever thought about my feelings?" ”

She understood what he meant, and wanted to nod her head, but she couldn't hold it anymore, and she fell down. As soon as he stretched out his hand to support her, his body shook, and tears made her fall out, she knew that he would hate her and still do this! She knows, bastard!

Yun Xi slowly walked out of the Caifang Palace, and Mo Chengyong knelt on the ground outside, his lips were still bloodshot. There were also seven or eight eunuchs from Shouchun Palace kneeling on the side, all of them trembling. Yun Xi glanced at him: "You are the Queen Mother's person, go to the Queen Mother to confess your guilt!" ”

Mo Chengyong kept kowtowing: "The emperor spared the slave this time, and the slave didn't dare anymore!" Wang Chenghai shook the dust, gave him two feet in the past, and drank in his mouth: "Let you go, do you want to die?" Wang Chenghai is helping him, after all, he entered the palace in a year. Although he served different masters, he also had some affection in the early years.

This guy has been with the Queen Mother for 20 years, why is he not long-sighted like this? I was used to being mean in the bureau, and I began to disobey the yang and the yin, and regarded all the people here as blind. The concubine was not convicted for a day, she was the concubine, and the queen mother asked him to take care of it, and she didn't say that he would let the concubine be killed! The Queen Mother hadn't moved yet, and he got up first.

As soon as Wang Chenghai scolded, Mo Chengyong was a little bored, and he crawled out and retreated, saying while crawling: "Slave thanks to the emperor for his grace!" ”

Yun Xi walked out, got on the chariot and went to Shouchun Palace. He hated in his heart, and his mind was full of scarlet hearts, but he couldn't mess with it now. He's going to pick up her endgame, pick up her stinky move! He couldn't let her die, and if she died, he would live in her shadow for the rest of his life. He didn't want her in return, she didn't trust him at all, she didn't want to rely on him, she didn't even want to spend the rest of her time with him. She was afraid of the change of emotion, and she didn't dare to face it, so she used this way to burn him in his heart!

Yes, she was indeed forced to this step, and she had no choice but to drag her down. She knew that he would hate her and still do it, but she still chose to be the most loyal! He didn't fulfill her, he spent his life with her!

Xinghua was sleeping on the bed at this time, and when he heard the emperor coming, tears fell at that time. Although she is almost fifty, she has always been very well maintained, like a person in her thirties. But in the past few days, Sheng has made her temples frosty white, and her eyebrows and eyes have also been dyed with vicissitudes.

When Ruan Danqing died, although she was in pain, she was not as sad as she is now. Because although her father's death is unknown, she knows that political struggles have always been like this. But now, the real culprit has been identified, but it was caused by her. My father became a ghost under the knife, and it turned out that she had created the sin! What she couldn't accept was the self-blame in her heart, and this kind of torture was a pain that she had never experienced in her more than 30 years of palace life. And the emperor has now become her only sustenance and reliance, although she is ashamed, but she hopes that he will be by her side. Twenty years of nurturing grace and support, the emperor is her only relative in the palace!

Yun Xi rushed into the warm pavilion, Xinghua made people struggle to sit up, seeing him rush to the side of the bed, Xinghua couldn't help crying again, and hugged him: "It's me who can't stand you!" As she spoke, she couldn't stop crying. Without the dignity of the Queen Mother, now she is just a woman who needs comfort!

Yun Xi hugged her and held back her tears. He also wanted to cry, he was in pain, and his heart hurt even more when he saw the Queen Mother like this. Under the rivers and mountains, everyone is abandoned. True or false, the people in the palace are hypocritical! But they are also human beings, and they also have love and hate, and at the moment of power, who is right and wrong? He remembered the poems he wrote casually when he was in Dongwanzi, Pingzhou. The blue robe is red and trapped in the bear and tiger, and the dragon and phoenix are inlaid with gold! Dragon and Phoenix Exhibition? Now it's the dragon and the phoenix!

"Erchen received the secret letter from the queen mother, only to know that there was such an incident in the harem. Don't dare to make a mistake for a moment, and hurry back. Gangerchen went to the Hui Palace first......" Yun Xi couldn't say anything, Xinghua supported him to sit up straight, seeing that his face was full of exhaustion, he endured his grief, and his heart collapsed more and more.

Xinghua struggled to send someone down first, and the Hui Palace was closer to the middle court, and he was so angry that he would definitely go there first. For a moment, she reached out and stroked his face: "I'm also from here, and I can't see anywhere." You have real feelings for her, which is why I feel even more uncomfortable. I wanted to deal with her directly, but after thinking about it, I really didn't want you and me to be disgusted by it again. It's me who can't stand you, and bring in a scourge on the ground! Now that she has confessed her guilt, all her minions are detained here. I didn't want to be ridiculed by everyone in the world, so I called her sick. ”

Yun Xi nodded, and a tear fell, falling on Xinghua's hand. She trembled and gently stroked his face: "Your Majesty, you are the Emperor." You hold the world in your hands, and you have the supreme power to kill and take away, and I will never let anyone damage your heavenly power! The whole thing has been ascertained, and I am not prepared to make it public, lest it damage the royal reputation. After a few days, she said that she was ill and could not be cured. I know that you love her in your heart, and giving her a reputation like this can be regarded as the emperor's grace to her, and it is also worthy of the emperor's heart. The past is over, I have also thought about it in the past two days, and then summoned Lin Xiao to come in, and made it clear with his daughter that the emperor would cover up this matter for him, if he changes in the future, then Le Zheng's heart is dead and there is no proof, and the old account of 200,000 taels will be carefully calculated with him, and he will be punished with a felony of smearing the royal family and perverting the law. I guarantee that Lin Xiao and Lin Xueqing will not dare to make any more mistakes! ”

Scarlet knows that there are still plans to force him to death, and the Queen Mother also knows how to use the dead to do it, so that Lin Xiao will no longer dare to have the slightest disloyalty! The Queen Mother is grief-stricken, but she understands that people cannot be resurrected after death, and the top of the conspiracy, which is not gambling?

The reason why Scarlet Heart pointed the forged letter directly at Lin Xiao was that she grasped Lin Xiao's psychology, why not push the boat along the river? Besides, Lin Xiao didn't help the so-called nonsensical transfer at all, and it was harmless to him.

But Lin Xiao also understands that his daughter poked this matter out, and she fought to hurt people. And it's on him! He was an important minister of the emperor and the backbone of the reformers. The emperor must reuse him at this time, and since he wants to reuse, he will not be affected by the dispute in the harem. But he also understands how dangerous it can be for him to gamble on it.

But at that time, the Queen Mother had already sent someone to check on his head, and she had to send an arrow. Besides, the old matter of 200,000 taels has been poked out by his daughter, and it is impossible for him to bite his daughter back and talk nonsense. But this trip is to let the Queen Mother leave a post-move, and the Queen Mother does not publicize this matter, which is equivalent to helping him keep the Lin family. And when the concubine is buried thickly, he also tells Lin Xiao that the dust has settled on the concubine's side, and since then she has entered the royal temple, and no one can help but smear her again. If he makes any more changes, the old matter of 200,000 taels can be said to be the Lin family's greed for bribes by taking advantage of the imperial merchants! The reason why he was asked to enter the palace to meet his daughter was also a suppressive move by the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother wants to get rid of the concubine who dances for personal gain, and she will also not let the concubine who drills the camp from it take profit. The ultimate beneficiary is always the emperor, and it is they who are the best of Thailand!

Yun Xi looked at the Queen Mother, suddenly stood up and knelt on the ground, Xinghua was startled, and was busy reaching out to drag him. Yun Xi held Xinghua's hand: "Erchen has been by his mother's side since he was three years old. For more than 20 years, we have never separated! If there is no queen mother, there will be no sons. If there was no great Sima to complement him, I am afraid that the retainers would have been blood-spattered on the Dan Rank long ago. ”

Xinghua burst into tears and was just about to speak. Yun Xi gritted his teeth, his eyes flushed: "The biological mother of the son died early, and the first emperor was busy with government affairs and had no time to look around. The son and the queen mother depend on each other in the palace, and the kindness of the beginning is precious! The sons never dared to forget the teachings of the queen mother, let alone the inheritance of their ancestors. Erchen knows the responsibility of defending the territory! If this crime is true, no matter how difficult it is to give up in the hearts of the sons, they must not mislead the country because of their feelings. ”

Xinghua cried out loud and nodded again and again, but he was speechless. Yun Xi took a deep breath: "Since Erchen was in power, there will inevitably be conflicts between him and Da Sima. The Queen Mother knew this matter best, and her sons did not say much. Da Sima has the merit of assisting the country, and he is more loyal to the lord, and his sons have never forgotten it. ”

I also advised him, but he was so fierce that he would not listen. I knew that if he continued like this, he would provoke many enemies, but he really couldn't tolerate that ......" Xinghua couldn't cry when he heard this.

"Queen Mother, if she really kills important ministers, subverts the dynasty, and conspires against her, even if her sons love Ruo Zhibao, she can't do this, and she must punish her nine clans to correct the national law, and she must show the world to show that the law does not distinguish between high and low. Even if it is a relative of the emperor, it will never be tolerated! Yun Xi said and rolled down her tears, "Why do you have to cover it up for her?" She wanted to blackmail the members of the court, and even started a business in the palace, keeping her mother and children in the dark. Erchen has always believed in her, which really makes Erchen extremely painful! ”

"It was all because of me, if I hadn't brought her in. It won't be like that! Xinghua cried, "Ruan Danqing is dead, and there is no point in slaughtering any more." I've been in the palace for all these years, and I've experienced some things, but now revenge is secondary, and royal face is more important! You don't make the world laugh because of your momentary anger! ”

Yun Xi's words were an invisible comfort to Xinghua, the emperor loved again, and finally stood with her. They are one and work together to maintain the imperial power of Jintai! She cried for a while and gradually quieted down, and when she saw Yun Xi's face was gray and her eyes were bloodshot, she was even more distressed. He's only in pain now!

"Over the years, I have been sandwiched between Ruan Chu, and this court in the palace is always different from the people. Family love and national righteousness, it is always difficult to achieve both! There is no need to mention the old things anymore, as for her, just forget it quietly! ”

Yun Xi stayed in Shouchun Palace until the evening, and the mother and son talked a lot, from the southern tour to many past events of Yun Xi's childhood. He understood the feelings of the Queen Mother, and seeing that she was like ten years old in a few days, he had the impulse to tell the Queen Mother the truth several times.

In fact, the Queen Mother would rather believe that he killed Ruan Danqing than accept the current result. He had a sharp conflict of power with Ruan Dan Thanh, and it was a contest between the emperor and the powerful ministers. Ruan Danqing died at his hands, which can be said to be a well-deserved death, but it is a bit funny to die at the hands of a harem woman. What the Queen Mother couldn't accept even more was that this woman was still carried by her!

In fact, the deeper the investigation of this case, the more loopholes will be exposed. Although Scarlet Heart forged a lot of circumstantial evidence to point the finger at herself, it was not leaky. He had planted a secret nail in the Great Sima Mansion since he was ten years old, he was a child at that time, and Ruan Danqing didn't take him seriously at all. There is a curtain hanging by the queen mother, and there is a big Sima auxiliary government below, he is just a puppet in a yellow robe. He has always been well-behaved and looks like a child. Today I will reward Da Sima with a Trojan horse, and tomorrow I will reward Da Sima with a sword, and Da Sima will receive the reward with a smile. Later, he began to reward people, and children like him said that he would be a dealer and be an internal manager. Da Sima also accepted it, which was not the same thing, and he was raised in the house and gradually grew up. But he didn't know that his child's heart had already grown up!

If you are a little older, you will not be rewarded, but you will search for available people everywhere, and he will not be pro-government anyway, and he often wears civilian clothes to travel in Zhili. If he had nothing to do, he went to the Great Sima Mansion, in Ruan Danqing's eyes, he was still a yellow-mouthed child who had not dried up. The money was spent little by little, and it could not pass through the inner house, so he had to circulate it from his two brothers. His two brothers, who enjoy high lordship but no real power, never ask about the affairs of the court on the surface, but actually secretly cultivate people for him. The world of the Chu family, how to let the Ruan family take charge? Where is Da Sima so easy to punish, if it weren't for his arrogance, Yun Xi would not be willing to do this.

The reason why the Queen Mother believes it is not that she is not meticulous enough, but that she is full of scarlet heart! The concubine who has always been cautious, the concubine who is low-key everywhere and is reluctant to come out, and the concubine who loves fame more than everything. She has given the Queen Mother such an impression in the past five years, so if she is not forced to do so, why should she admit it? The concubine who loves to drill camp the most is a businessman, and it is most normal for her to be greedy and give birth to a poisonous heart. So the Queen Mother believed! The concubine has already admitted it, she doesn't need to dig deeper, dig down, it's just her heart and liver! In this battle, the concubine can be said to have gambled thoroughly and won beautifully! No, actually, it was she who won him pretty! But let his heart lose completely!

But how could he be willing? Even if he was beaten and was completely unprepared, he also knew that it was pointless to plead with the Queen Mother or explain the truth now! Le Zheng is a bastard with a scarlet heart, and he will set himself up in a dead end, so he wants to fight against her and let her die and live!

Yun Xi knew that he couldn't say it, saying it would only hasten her death, and it would be impossible for him to repair the relationship with the Queen Mother, but it would be different if he turned into hatred because of love and lost his mind because of anger.

At the moment, the more he forbeared, the more he struggled, the more miserable his expression became, the more hoarse his voice became, and the more distorted he gritted his teeth. The Queen Mother felt more sorry for him! The Empress Dowager hated this matter, but as the emperor, he actually benefited. From the queen mother's point of view, in fact, the scarlet heart indirectly got rid of political enemies for the emperor, and as for greed for money, there are many corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the world. In this palace alone, there are few who are really innocent! But even if she benefits, she can't bear to let a concubine secretly do such a thing to subvert the court! On the one hand, there is love, and on the other hand, the two are added, and the emperor is a little out of control! Of course the Queen Mother is sorry for him! So he continued to endure, and he endured until his bones were broken and his heart was dry. His pain was real, and so was the resentment in his heart. just hated that Le Zheng was scarlet, and for the sake of a "loyalty" word, Sheng threw his heart to the back of his mind!

The two talked for a long time, and the Queen Mother finally saw that he was lonely, and persuaded him: "This matter can't be publicized, firstly, it involves too much, and secondly, the Lin family can't fall this time." Now the concubine has pleaded guilty and is under house arrest in the palace, claiming to be sick. Let's just say that one day is not as good as one day, and in the end, it will be cured. This person is too vicious to stay. She committed the great crime of being a clan annihilation, so because she was the imperial concubine, she had to be treated first for the sake of the royal family's face. Le Zheng's family is far away in Huai'an, so he sealed the news first, and then he will look for opportunities later. As for the Lin family, the emperor should ask Lin Xiao carefully, if there is anything unclean underneath, cover it for him first. I'm not afraid he's not honest! A few days later, I went to Lin Xiao's wife's edict first, and did not let her go back and forth to the palace to pass the news to Lin Xueqing, and when the emperor asked Lin Xiao clearly, he would bring up their father and daughter to speak together! ”

The Queen Mother saw that Yun Xi's face was distorted, for fear that he couldn't help it for a while: "I have investigated this matter for a few days, Chang Fu Xiuling has been with the concubine for five years, and I know a lot of things about her." I'm old now, and I hear that I'm short of breath. I really don't want to annoy you anymore, but it's better to look closely. Rest for a few days and talk about it when you're in a better mood. Don't be bad because of this, no matter how bad it is! ”

Yun Xi took a deep breath and nodded reluctantly. What he wants is this sentence, the Queen Mother can't check it anymore, but she is not a nonsense person. She has been rolling in intrigue and deceit in the palace, and Le Zheng confessed to this crime, which must involve a lot. But the Queen Mother can't tolerate people who still want to make trouble in secret, so she first detains her scarlet heart, and then lets the emperor investigate it carefully, even if she can't slaughter them all one by one, she can't keep them to make the royal family uneasy! The Queen Mother transferred the matter to him, and she has already indicated that she will be on the same side as him. Constantly reminding him of the great things that are going up, is to ask him not to act impulsively.

Yun Xi came back with a dull stick, and now he doesn't know how to turn this dead end. But no matter what, you can always put it off for a few days!

When he came out of Shouchun Palace, it was dark in front of him. Wang Chenghai saw him stumbling over and grabbed him, letting him shake off his arms. Wang Chenghai has followed Yunxi for 20 years, and he has seen how there is no one who is not distressed. For a while, he followed, and his tears broke to the ground.

Ruan Xinghua saw his back and was very sad on the bed. When the emperor went far away, Mo Chengyong dared to come in and kneel on the ground. The Queen Mother said a lot of words, and she was a little happy when she vomited at this time. At the same time, she felt extremely tired, she crooked the palace maid to beat her legs, and said while drinking tea: "Why are you back?" ”

"The Queen Mother, the slave collided with the emperor in the Hui Palace at noon. The slave just received twenty whips for himself, and now he has come to ask the queen mother for sin. Mo Chengyong said tremblingly.

"If you are interested, you will raise it once you have received it. The mourning family is tired! The Queen Mother glanced at him and knew what was going on. Mo Chengyong has been with her for 20 years, and she knows his character best. It must have been the emperor who came back, and when he saw that he was being mean, the concubine became angry.

"Empress Dowager Xie." Mo Chengyong cried and said, "The slave is watching, it is to see that the queen mother is a slave who feels sad!" ”

"The mourners know." The Queen Mother sighed lightly, although Mo Chengyong had some minor problems, he was absolutely kind of to her. He did this, mainly not because the concubine pulled him off the horse in the first place, but because she was so angry with the poisonous woman that she had committed her old illness again in the past two days. He panicked in his heart and went to find the poisonous woman to vent his anger, the queen mother was happy about this, but she knew that the emperor would not be happy.

She looked at him lightly: "Your heart, the mourning family understands." But the mourning family has also figured it out, and from now on, you don't need to worry about any more affairs. Staying in Shouchun Palace with peace of mind is! The emperor is your master, don't annoy him anymore. Otherwise, don't blame the mourning family for not saying ugly things in your head. ”

"Slaves can be saved." Mo Chengyong kowtowed, of course he understood what the Queen Mother meant, "The slave doesn't care about the secretary now, and once this matter is over, he will serve the Queen Mother with peace of mind, and he doesn't want anything else." ”

"Well, let's go. Raise it for two days, and you will go to the Hui Palace to be on duty. Don't be hard for her, after all, she is sick now, so the mourning family is worthy of her. ”

"The minions obey." Mo Chengyong said and slowly retreated.

Scarlet Heart was falling asleep in a daze, and the heavy pressure that suffocated her woke her up. The smell was familiar to her, mixed with the smell of wine, and she couldn't see him in the dark, but she felt that his exhaled breath made her feel cold. For a while, she had a feeling that they were back to the original point of strangeness!

Yun Xi knew from her breathing rate that she was awake, and his movements became more and more unbridled. Scarlet felt the pain, the pain that scared her and ripped through her body. Her dryness made it impossible for her to withstand his forcible presence, and her body instinctively began to bow tightly. Hands grip the mattress tightly! She didn't move or make a sound, she knew he was angry. So she gritted her teeth and endured it as hard as she had done at the beginning.

But wherever he was, he was willing to give up, and became more and more ferocious. Scarlet felt that the more she endured it, the more painful it became, and she couldn't help but start convulsing. It may be that she hadn't endured this pain for too long, and after a while her teeth were chattering, and she struggled to reach out and push him, whispering, "No, it hurts." ”

"You're still a concubine, so you're not qualified to say no!" He took both of her hands and pressed them over the top of her head, she clenched her fists tightly, her whole body tensed tightly, she broke out in a cold sweat, her tears couldn't stop flowing, and she struggled to twist her body. She couldn't stand his rough treatment, and felt that it was about to be torn in half: "The concubine doesn't want ...... now" Her mind was booming, and she was a little incoherent.

"When you confessed your sin, did you ever think about whether I wanted to?" He gritted his teeth, she lacked imagination and was not curious, so let's experience it for yourself! If you can't bear it, you have to accept it, if you don't want it, you have to ask for it, you can't refuse and you can't resist it! This is how he feels in his heart now!

Her eyes widened, and she could see the cold light in his eyes in the darkness. He suddenly leaned down and bit her neck, her canines causing her sharp pain. Her face was stained with tears but she didn't struggle anymore, she felt his heart-rending pain.

"If you were me, what would you do?" Scarlet was stunned and said in a dumb voice. It was the most daring and impulsive thing she had ever said, much bolder than calling him by his name during the day!

Yun Xi's body stiffened, and his movements gradually stopped. She exhaled lightly: "In Huai'an, you once told me that for Scarlet Ling, the name festival is worthless compared to Zhang Wangqiu!" You told me. ”

"You use this way to repay, you only have a monarch and a minister in your eyes, not a husband and wife. If you lose your life, then what you said before is also worthless! Yun Xi let go of his teeth, but there was a taste of blood in his mouth. He burst into tears, he couldn't hold it anymore! Her body trembled, she was already in such pain, she couldn't resist the slight heat on her shoulder! Scarlet was teary-eyed, and he turned his wrist to get out of his grasp, but he pressed it even harder, making her unable to move at all.

"I wouldn't do it if I could." She cried, "But the longer it drags on, the more loopholes there will be, and then I can't ...... if I want to use this trick."

"You don't have to worry about it, why do you care so much? You are not a courtier, what is the use of your loyalty? You've been taught so many times, and you've never taken me seriously! You're a heartless bastard! Yun Xi suddenly roared, and he suddenly let go of his hand to support herself, and flipped her on the bed in one fell swoop.

Scarlet felt his waist being lifted by him, and rushed against her body, making her scream as if she had been cut open by a knife. She couldn't control her crying anymore: "I also hope I don't have a heart, so I don't feel bad......" She didn't finish her sentence and suddenly began to retch again, followed by a big cough.

This made Yun Xi wake up a little instantly, and he picked her up. Scarlet turned around and grabbed his shoulder, crying and whispering, "I don't have a few days to live, don't be angry anymore, okay?" She seldom spoke with such an attitude, except on that time when she chased her out and knocked her nose. He suddenly felt that the nerves in his whole body were broken, and he hugged her tightly and couldn't say a word!

He was angry with her and refused to rely on, but more angry with himself. He shouldn't have vented his feelings when he returned to the palace in a hurry, and he got carried away and forced her into dire straits. It was he who didn't give her a chance to prepare at all, but she still thought about his troubles in danger! He always blamed her for not seeing his feelings, and always blamed her for putting the monarch and ministers first. In fact, it was himself, he had long understood that Yun Xi and the emperor were an inseparable whole. It was he who was addicted, and she was also addicted, and it was he who killed her!

Scarlet no longer speaks, her consciousness is a little flustered, and until now she doesn't regret doing it, just a little regretful. She really wanted to step into the emotional maze with him to verify whether there was really that kind of unwavering feeling in this world, but she didn't have time!

"I'm not going to let you die, and you don't want to let go so easily." Yun Xi hugged her and said, "I'm consumed with you!" ”

She smiled silently and didn't speak, but she was relieved, she was relieved, because because he said this, it proved that he was not impulsive to go to Shouchun Palace.

He also said this before he went, but at that time she was not at ease at all, afraid that he would not be able to stand it and confess to the Queen Mother. But when he came back, he was angry and drank wine, but he still said this, which proves that he was extremely depressed in Shouchun Palace!

"I'm annoyed if you laugh at me again." She laughed silently, but he could feel it as her body relaxed. She was slightly stunned, surprised that he was extremely sensitive. There was a smell of alcohol on his body, but there was no drunkenness in his words. She curled up in his arms and said in a dumb voice: "How many days is the Queen Mother willing to give her concubine?" ”

Scarlet understood that he was speechless in front of the Queen Mother, although this forbearance made him hurt himself to the extreme. But the Queen Mother is sorry for herself, and if he doesn't take the initiative to mention it, the Queen Mother will be lenient to the maximum. But only grace and intolerable. is a woman that the emperor loves again, once it involves the court, she will not be tolerated by the royal family! Privately, she confessed to the murder of a senior member of the court, who was the father of the Queen Mother. From the kilometer point of view, the harem gathered foreign ministers, and even assassinated important ministers in the court, such violations of royal power and subversion of the court must be severely punished!

However, it can only be kept secret, not made public. As for Lezheng, she entrusted it all to the emperor! Count her selfishness, she chose loyalty and did not reciprocate his affection. But he asked him to remember that this untrustworthy emotion repaid her a door of safety!
