In this court meeting, civil and military officials above the sixth grade in the capital all participated. In the past few days, the news of the border battles has been transmitted to the imperial court one after another, and most of them are the news of the casualties of the soldiers or the defeat of the battle, and the people are panicked and uneasy.

In order to calm people's hearts, Emperor Xuanhe sat stubbornly for three hours. When it was time to disperse, the ministers bowed their heads and sent the Son of Heaven away.

Emperor Xuanhe's body shook when he got up.

He Qi, the commander of the imperial guards, quietly took two steps closer and held Emperor Xuanhe's arm with his hand. He Qi is extremely skilled, and his right hand strength is far superior to ordinary people. With only one right hand, he firmly supported Emperor Xuanhe.

Emperor Xuanhe's back was already dripping with cold sweat, and his whole body was weak and weak. It was all thanks to the support of He and Qi, so that he did not lose his temper in the Jinluan Palace.

Fortunately, at this time, everyone lowered their heads, and no one saw Emperor Xuanhe's weak and tired state.

Emperor Xuanhe exhaled slowly, stood in place for a moment, and then walked away. The pace is much slower than usual. After returning to the Baohe Palace, Emperor Xuanhe could no longer hold on, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and his face was almost pale.

Empress Pei was already waiting in the Baohe Palace, and brought the ginseng soup that had been prepared first: "The emperor drank this bowl of ginseng soup first!" ”

Emperor Xuanhe nodded.

Empress Pei personally fed Emperor Xuanhe to drink ginseng soup. Emperor Xuanhe opened his mouth and drank the ginseng soup, and his physical strength slowly recovered. At least he had the strength to open his mouth and speak: "It's hard work." ”

Empress Pei replied softly: "The concubine can't do anything else, so she can only do her best." ”

Cheng Jinrong Du also came quickly, and each of them diagnosed the pulse of Emperor Xuanhe, and after discussion, he re-prescribed the prescription. Boiled medicine and drank medicine, methodical, and not flustered.

After Emperor Xuanhe drank the medicine, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

At this moment, Gonggong Zhao quietly came in to report: "Empress Qi, Emperor Zheng's concubine is waiting outside the palace, asking to see the emperor." ”

Emperor Xuanhe returned to the palace yesterday, and he was busy going to the court today, so he had no time to go to the harem, and he didn't see any concubines. Emperor Zheng Guifei couldn't hold it back.

Empress Pei frowned: "Spread the oracle of the palace, just say that the emperor has rested." Let Emperor Zheng's concubine return to Zhongcui Palace to wait for the emperor's summons. ”

This remark was not tactful or polite at all.

With the status of Empress Pei and today's holy grace, she does have the confidence to look down on Emperor Zheng's concubine.

Zhao Gonggong respectfully accepted the order and retreated.

……

Two hours later, Emperor Xuanhe woke up leisurely.

As soon as she opened her eyes, Queen Pei's gentle and beautiful face came into view, and her eyes showed joy and concern: "The emperor has been sleeping for two hours, and now he is finally awake." ”

Emperor Xuanhe's cold and hard heart was also warmed by this water-like gentleness, and his voice was quite soothing: "There is no shortage of people around me to serve, so I don't need you to stay by the bed all the time." Besides, you've been sick for many years, and now you're getting better. If I had fallen ill, I would not have been at ease. ”

Empress Pei pursed her lips and chuckled, stretched out her hand to help Emperor Xuanhe sit up straight on the dragon couch: "As long as the emperor can get better as soon as possible, it will make the concubine sick for another ten years, and the concubine is also willing." ”

Emperor Xuanhe was moved in his heart, and subconsciously held Empress Pei's hand.

Cheng Jinrong, who was also guarding the side of the dragon couch, turned sideways slightly and looked away. However, she could look away, but she couldn't close her ears. The words spoken by the emperor and queen were clearly transmitted to the ears one by one.

"The emperor slept before, and the Zheng family came to ask for peace, and the concubine didn't want her to disturb the emperor's rest, so she retreated."

"It's a little thing, you can call the shots."

Empress Pei's soft voice should be.

Emperor Xuanhe said: "I will issue an order to order the Zheng family to return the phoenix seal to the Jiaofang Palace." ”

Empress Pei unexpectedly dissuaded: "Just return to the palace and make an order, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the Zheng family." There's no need to be in such a hurry, and it's okay to wait for a while. In fact, even if the phoenix seal was returned to the Jiaofang Palace, this matter of taking care of palace affairs must also be supported by the Zheng family. The emperor's dragon body is weak, and the concubines are worried, and they can't wait to serve in the Baohe Palace day and night, where can they take care of the trivial matters of the harem. ”

There are only a few people around Emperor Xuanhe who can be trusted.

Now, Emperor Xuanhe is indeed inseparable from the company of Empress Pei to appease.

Emperor Xuanhe looked at Empress Pei's gaze softening more and more: "I know your intentions." However, the phoenix seal should be in the hands of the queen. The palace affairs are still handed over to the Zheng family. ”

Empress Pei didn't really want to excuse herself, so she hesitated for a moment before responding: "The concubine thanked the emperor for his grace." ”

In fact, this phoenix seal was originally the queen's thing. Emperor Zheng Guifei is just "in charge", and it is only natural to return it now.

Most of the major events in the court are holy decrees. For this matter in the harem, Emperor Xuanhe can pass on an edict: "Gonggong Zhao, go to Zhongcui Palace and pass on my message." Order the Zheng family to return the phoenix seal to the Jiaofang Hall tomorrow. ”

Zhao Gonggong opened his mouth to receive the order.

Queen Pei hid the joy and pleasure in her heart, and glanced at Cheng Jinrong.

It's finally time for this day!

……

Zhongcui Palace.

Emperor Zheng Guifei went to the Baohe Palace to ask for peace, but she hit a hard nail, and she didn't say anything, and she was even more sulky in her heart. After returning to Zhongcui Palace, he smashed it with a bang.

Unexpectedly, more infuriating things are yet to come.

Gonggong Zhao soon came to deliver the decree: "The emperor has a decree, please ask the imperial concubine to return the phoenix seal to the Jiaofang Hall tomorrow." ”

Emperor Zheng's concubine: "......"

Even Gonggong Zhao couldn't bear to look at Emperor Zheng's face at this time.

A few years ago, Emperor Zheng Guifei was so prominent in the palace!

Empress Pei closed the palace to recuperate and did not see anyone all year round. The palace affairs are all in the hands of Emperor Zheng's concubines, and everyone in the palace bows their heads and obeys sincerely, and Emperor Xuanhe often stays in Zhongcui Palace. The eldest prince is Emperor Xuanhe's favorite son, and even overwhelms the second prince.

Emperor Zheng's concubine is only one queen away.

Unexpectedly, in just over a year, Queen Pei quickly gained the holy favor. He rose and fell, but Emperor Zheng's concubine gradually lost her imperial heart.

Now, even the phoenix seal has to be returned to the Jiaofang Palace. Emperor Zheng's face was also completely torn apart and thrown to the ground.

Emperor Zheng's body trembled slightly, and with all her self-control, she squeezed out a smile: "The concubine obeys the holy decree." ”

Gonggong Zhao coughed, and said: "The border is at war, the affairs of the court and the central government are busy, the emperor is worried and tired, and the imperial concubine does not have to go to thank him." ”

This is obviously also what Emperor Xuanhe meant.

I didn't even see her.

Emperor Zheng swallowed the old blood in her throat: "Thank you Gonggong Zhao for reminding me." ”

Zhao Gonggong pulled the corners of his mouth and opened his mouth to leave.

As soon as Gonggong Zhao left, Emperor Zheng's concubine's face turned pale, and she spit out a mouthful of blood.

The palace maid who was waiting on the side was shocked, and rushed forward to support the crumbling Concubine Zheng: "Niangniang! Empress! Come and go to the Imperial Doctor! ”

Emperor Zheng's mind was muddy, her consciousness was blurred, and she soon fell into a coma.
