Chapter 171: Aftermath

The woman who had been standing in the shadows with her back turned around, and it turned out to be Princess Miyoko of Fuso.

I saw that she was dressed in a black suit, wearing a neat cloak, not at all like her usual graceful and luxurious appearance, but more heroic than Zhong Taojiao.

"Alright, Mieda, you're hiding here and meeting up when I'm out of town."

Meizhi, who was kneeling on the ground, raised her head lightly and whispered, "Princess, can Lord Sangmu still be saved?" ”

Miyoko smiled coldly, as cold as ice: "It is his honor to serve the emperor and dedicate himself." It's not just him, it's you, and I'm no exception. ”

Mieda didn't dare to speak again, and Miyoko wrapped herself in a cloak and disappeared into the night.

Early in the morning of the second day, all the palace concubines came to Kunning Palace to greet the queen. The news that Emperor Hong Zheng rested in Xianfu Palace last night has long spread throughout the Sixth Palace, and everyone is waiting to see the joke.

When Queen Jiang came out dressed up, everyone's eyes were mostly on her and Concubine Bai Xian.

Queen Jiang is particularly radiant today, and even the phoenix robe on her body is not inferior to yesterday's set. And Concubine Bai Xian is still dressed as usual, but she is extremely charming and beautiful.

Seeing that Concubine Bai Xian was not pampered and arrogant, Queen Jiang's face looked better.

Before Empress Jiang put down Ma Wei, the belated Chen Guifei arrived.

"The concubine has seen the queen's mother, and it's too late today, so please forgive the queen's mother. I was so scared yesterday that I almost couldn't get out of bed today. ”

Empress Jiang said lightly: "If you can't get up, just sleep a little longer, and let the minions come over to report it." ”

Chen Guifei sat back in the chair, covered her mouth and smiled: "The concubine doesn't dare, as soon as she closes her eyes, the concubine will look at Yan Changle." I heard that she was strangled twice before she died, how pitiful, didn't her tongue stretch out so long? ”

Empress Jiang sank her face and said unhappily: "Concubine Chen, you ran to the palace in the morning to say this?" Not too unlucky? ”

"Concubines are afraid! That little warbler is a person in the concubine's palace, and she doesn't know that she was threatened by the person who lost her conscience, killed someone, and came to frame the concubine! ”

"Shut up!"

Empress Jiang slapped her arms and shouted angrily.

But Chen Guifei couldn't help but speak, and added fuel to the fire and said: "Fortunately, the emperor is aware of everything and returns the innocence of the concubine." Otherwise, the concubine may also die to prove her innocence. ”

Empress Jiang couldn't hold back any longer, and said angrily: "Get out!" ”

"Get out? Okay, the concubine retired. ”

Chen Guifei walked away, leaving Queen Jiang with a blue and white expression, and she was so angry that she fell down.

Seeing this, the other concubines didn't dare to stay any longer and retired one after another. Only Concubine Bai Xian stayed, and after everyone else left, she knelt down and pleaded guilty to Empress Jiang.

"Please check clearly, the concubine swears to follow the mother to the death, and she will never dare to have two hearts."

Empress Jiang was still angry, and said coldly: "Concubine Bai Xian, you are now the person on the tip of the emperor's heart." The emperor stayed in Xianfu Palace on the Wanshou Festival, why bother to follow the palace! ”

"Niangniang, Niangniang is blessed, and the Nine Emperors are smart, capable and filial. The concubine does not have this blessing, so she can only follow her mother and want to touch her mother's blessing. ”

Concubine Bai Xian's low eyebrows were pleasing to the eyes, as well as the admiration for Yan Shaoxun in her words, which made Queen Jiang's face better.

"Yao Jin, don't you help Concubine Xian up?"

Yao Jin and Yao Qi hurriedly helped Concubine Bai Xian up, helped her sit on the chair, and served a cup of hot tea.

Last night, Concubine Bai Xian had been working hard for half a night, lack of sleep, and had back pain. Now that she has been kneeling on the cold and hard ground for so long, Concubine Bai Xian, who has always been pampered, is also a little unbearable.

Seeing Concubine Bai Xian rubbing her legs and pinching her waist from time to time, Queen Jiang sneered in her heart.

On his face, he said with concern: "Sister Xian, are you okay?" Did it hurt anywhere? Let the Imperial Doctor take a look? ”

Concubine Bai Xian hurriedly said: "Thank you for your concern, it's okay, it's okay." ”

"Sister Xianfei, it's not right for you to say this, you are also a person with a prince, why do you need to follow this palace?"

Concubine Bai Xian showed a wry smile at the right time, and said a little humbly: "Don't laugh at the concubine, how can the concubine have the blessing of the concubine?" ”

said, wiping the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief: "How can this one be compared with Niangniang, not to mention that it was not raised since childhood, but brought home when it is an adult." ”

When Empress Jiang heard this, she felt a lot more comfortable, and she and Concubine Bai Xian exchanged favors for a while, and then watched Concubine Bai Xian staggering out of Kunning Palace.

Yao Qi stepped forward and said: "Niangniang, Chen Liuwangfu has sent a message that Yan Changle will be buried today." The prince asked Niangniang, do you still have a show? ”

"Well, you tell him and let him keep an eye on the Zhong family. Also, find a way to contact the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion and pull Xiao Yao over. ”

Regarding Yan Changle's death, Queen Jiang was not moved at all. She had already heard that Emperor Hong Zheng had made Xiao Yao an earl, but he didn't have a title. In case, Xiao Yao can be named on the gold list this time, it will be a real civil and military shuangquan.

has real talent and learning, and has the ability to save the driver, such a person will definitely be reused by the emperor, and he must be wooed.

Yao Qi bowed his head to receive the order, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Niangniang, someone sneaked into Guanwenhou's mansion last night and set it on fire, and Mrs. Guanwenhou gave birth to a son safely. The lord of Mingzhu has already left the palace with the reward of the queen mother, do you want the mother? ”

Empress Jiang thought for a moment and asked, "She shouldn't be there yet, right?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, it's not a day, but it is said that I was frightened, so I gave birth early."

Empress Jiang sighed lowly: "She is really a blessing, and you will also give a reward." ”

Back then, when Empress Jiang was just pregnant with Yan Qihuo, she fell into a plot, so her pregnancy has not been good. It took nine deaths to give birth to Yan Qihuo, but unfortunately it hurt the foundation and could not get pregnant again.

Therefore, in order to keep the status of Yan Qihuo's youngest son, he had to make every effort and calculate everything.

Empress Jiang remembered the past and couldn't help but sigh.

"Let people prepare crystal duck tongue at noon and send it to the emperor, plus a bowl of assorted hibiscus soup."

Yao Jin took the order to retreat and personally went to the small kitchen to order.

Here, Concubine Bai Xian limped back to Xianfu Palace, and it happened that Yan Shaoxun came over to ask for peace, and she was startled when she saw her appearance.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, kneeling in Kunning Palace for a while."

Yan Shaoxun frowned and said, "Just because my father rested in the palace of the concubine last night?" The queen is embarrassed by her mother like this? ”

Concubine Bai Xian massaged her legs by the slave maid, took a sip of warm tea and said, "No, it is voluntary in this palace." If you don't let the queen breathe like this, that's the trouble. ”

Yan Shaoxun was also a little depressed when he thought of something.

"Mother, I will send the written words into the imperial study today, but my father has not summoned me."

Concubine Bai Xian was puzzled: "Just your congratulatory message last night?" The emperor has already heard it, why did he summon you separately again, did you write anything else? ”

Yan Shaoxun nodded: "I feel that there are alien races with hidden ambitions around the Great Zhou, so I wrote a few words and presented them to my father together." ”
