Chapter XXIV: Compensation (1st Update)

The emperor entered the Fengqi Palace, and after the palace people set up a morning meal, the emperor waved off all the people who were waiting, including Gonggong Zhang and Mama He.

The queen knew that the emperor had something very important to say to her, and her heart suddenly cheered up.

The emperor took out the scroll of evidence and threw it to the empress, "Look at it. ”

The queen picked it up slowly, and after looking at it, her face turned white in shock. This...... This Cheng Taifei ...... How dare she!

"The evidence is conclusive, and I don't want to hear her justify. She also has nothing to argue. I can forgive her for everything else, but I can't forgive her for this sin alone. If I spare him, it will be disrespectful to the emperor. The emperor said in a deep voice.

The queen nodded, yes, even if His Majesty remembered the old kindness, but he could not forgive Concubine Cheng for stealing people, this was a royal scandal, and she finally understood why the emperor's face was so ugly.

For so many years, the harem has not been without such filthy and dirty things, and what the emperor can't deal with will be disposed of by her hands. Therefore, she immediately understood today's incident, and His Majesty also asked her to deal with the aftermath.

The emperor said bluntly, "She is filthy and unworthy of the imperial tomb." But what I have done, I can't make it public. Therefore, I borrowed the old house of the An family, and the little girl's poisonous tea case, to give her a dead name. I have sent the Praetorian Guards to Anjia to give poisoned wine, but since I have saved my reputation, I will bury her, but I don't want her to go to the imperial tomb and dirty the cemetery. You gave me an idea to cover my face, what should I do? ”

The queen suppressed her fright, thought for a while, and then gave her idea, "The people who follow the concubine and wait need to be killed with a cane, right?" It's better to change to an innocent palace maid, replace the concubine, and be buried in the imperial mausoleum. The first emperor is under Jiuquan, and he will not blame His Majesty. ”

The emperor thought this method was good, and bowed his head, "Okay, you are my queen, ruling the six palaces, and you have always acted properly and carefully, this matter will be handed over to you, and you must not leak the news." ”

The queen commanded, "Your Majesty rest assured! ”

The matter was properly discussed, but the emperor still had no appetite, and his face was still ugly.

The queen's face was not very good, "Your Majesty, I am afraid that you will scare Xiao An'er by acting like this." There has never been a homicide in the old house of the An family. ”

"That girl has even been on the battlefield, although she is just an age thief wearing the clothes of a soldier to gain knowledge, but after all, the battlefield is the battlefield, she is not uninformed, she will not let me be so frightened, she will be scared." The emperor has his own thoughts, as An Huajin thought, although he took advantage of the trend, but he was not without thought.

The queen sighed, "That being said, the Imperial Doctor diagnosed her with a dream, and the Imperial Doctor prescribed medicine, and she was taking it every day. The concubine was worried that her nightmarish illness would worsen if she didn't do it today. ”

"Oh?" The emperor didn't care about this, "How can there be a nightmare?" ”

"The concubine doesn't know, it's been two or three years." The queen shook her head, "She is young, and she was frightened at some point, and she doesn't know." After all, she is a little girl, no matter how bold she is, she is limited. ”

"Yes!" The emperor didn't expect that there would be this one, Concubine Cheng and the people she took to the An's old house didn't come out alive, they all died in the An's old house, you can imagine, how much blood stained the place, a corpse was killed by a cane in front of her, she watched it with her own eyes, and the shock he gave was there, but the sequelae, he ignored it.

The emperor coughed, and felt that he was not very kind, indeed the little girl was still a little girl, he thought for a while and said, "I will compensate her." ”

The queen's heart was cold, but her face was silent, still dignified and gentle, "The concubine is only such a niece, and the father is only such a little granddaughter, I hope Your Majesty loves her." ”

The emperor nodded and promised, "Regarding the military salary donated by the Jokhang Temple, after the case of poisoned tea is cleared, I will send heavy troops to Nanyang to escort it to the Nanyang army." There are a lot of good things in my private treasury, and when she enters the palace today, I will pick out the good ones for her to take back, and what she can use now is just right, and if she can't use them, she will make a dowry in the future. ”

The queen was finally satisfied when she heard this, the emperor's kindness, yes, thank you, she said softly, "The concubine will thank Your Majesty for Xiao An'er." ”

"You don't have to thank you! It's also my lack of consideration. This little girl is so powerful that people forget that she is still a little girl. The emperor smiled and said, "Jokhang Temple has been enshrined for ten years, 600,000 gold, how can you be willing to donate it?" She must have blackmailed her. It's such a big deal to open your mouth, you say, I used her today, can I blame me? ”

Queen: "......"

Yes, her niece is indeed powerful, His Majesty joked that even if she took advantage of it today, she couldn't refute it.

She could only smile and say, "If the little girl is not powerful, she will not be able to, after all, she is the only one left in the Nanyang Palace." If you are too weak and weak to stand up, Your Majesty should also be worried. ”

"That's right!" The emperor bowed his head, "There are really pros and cons!" ”

The emperor and queen talked harmoniously for a while, and they didn't eat two bites for lunch, so they waited for He Lan to return to the palace to resume his life.

He Lan did this errand neatly, and told His Majesty in detail, only hiding that Concubine Cheng had a private chat with An Huajin for a while before she died. It doesn't matter. If he doesn't say it, to His Majesty, it doesn't matter.

"Well, well done!" The emperor ordered, "After sealing the Fengci Palace, all the people inside have been disposed of, and you should take someone to go in person." ”

"Yes!" He Lan retreated.

The emperor patted the empress's hand, "From today onwards, I will be sick for three days, and I will not go to the morning court for the next three days, you cover up for me, and the rest will be left to you." ”

The Empress stood up, "Your Majesty rest assured. ”

Your Majesty values the respected Concubine Cheng, and His Majesty will naturally be seriously ill for two days, sad and mournful, even if it is for show, he has to do it like this.

So, after An Huajin and Gu Qingyan entered the palace to see His Majesty and expressed their loyalty, An Huajin was aggrieved and showed that she was really sad, unlucky, and really wanted to cry, and after finding her look for any things, Her Majesty gave her a large amount of compensation, which was really not small, rich enough to fit two large cars, she was finally comfortable, and obediently received the compensation and thanked her. After she left the palace, His Majesty finally fell ill.

The compensation given by His Majesty includes rouge gouache, silk and satin, rare treasures, and countless good medicines. It's also a given.

Although An Huajin doesn't care much about things outside his body, he has good things, and his majesty secretly gave them from his private treasury, don't do it in vain, he is still very happy.

After leaving the palace, she rode through the streets for the first time without fanfare, but sat in the carriage with Gu Qingyan in a low-key manner, and sighed, "If Your Majesty is generous, it is actually quite generous." ”

Gu Qingyan smiled, "Your Majesty is indeed generous this time, but you also deserve it, no one's mansion wants to be stained with blood of the dead soul." Your Majesty can be regarded as scaring you. In terms of it, it's still not very kind. ”

An Huajin doesn't care, "The death of Concubine Cheng and the people she serves can't be blamed on the An family." A house can't become a murderous house. Your Majesty dares to do it, and I am not afraid of bad luck. The weapons that An Jia now placed in the old mansion have seen thousands of blood on the battlefield, and if they are fierce, those weapons are even more fierce. ”

Gu Qingyan nodded, "...... tonight"

"You don't need to stay in my house with me." An Huajin intercepted him, "Go back to your Gu family." ”

Gu Qingyan coughed lowly, "I'm afraid that you will have a nightmare in the middle of the night." ”

"No!" An Huajin shook his head, "Even if it's a dream, I'm used to it." ”

Gu Qingyan gave up.

An Huajin changed the subject, "Don't you want to know what Concubine Cheng told me before she died?" ”

Gu Qingyan's eyes moved lightly, "If you want to tell me, I will listen to you, if you don't want to say, I won't ask." ”

An Huajin pursed her lips and didn't hide it from him, "She used the child's peace to make a deal with me, let me protect the child, not to be rich and noble, just to be an ordinary person, and exchange a gold mine and power in her hand for me." ”

"Earned." Gu Qingyan smiled.

Didn't you make it? An innocent child, Gu Qingyan was originally saved, these things, Concubine Cheng sent them to the door for nothing. If she gave it to anyone, it would be three shocks when she raised her hand.

"To say that Concubine Cheng is also a powerful person." An Huajin had some admiration, "Before dying, she decisively chose a way out for her son." If that child hadn't been rescued by you, smoothed out the traces and hidden, and fell into anyone's hands, I would have to keep my promise to protect him, and it would have taken some effort. ”

"Concubine Cheng has a scheming, and since the death of the first emperor, she has been in business for another twenty years. Her power is not small, and it is much better for you to accept it than for others to accept it. Gu Qingyan advised, "Just say that you can't let these people know the whereabouts of that child, so as not to implicate you in a mess." Your Majesty is suspicious, but it is not a good thing that there is wind and grass. ”

"Yes. I don't care about that kid, it's up to you. You don't have to tell me where he is. As long as you live and live as usual. An Huajin said reassuringly, "I also have peace of mind." ”

Gu Qingyan smiled lightly, "Okay!" Just believe me. ”

"Naturally!"
