As soon as Concubine Qiao returned to Yongning Palace from Shoukang Palace, she saw that Luo Shi hurriedly entered the inner room in her palace, so Concubine Qiao sent the people from the left and right palaces, and Luo Shi served her to change her clothes, and said: "You have chiseled your face with the words "anxious to get angry, why are you so flustered?" ”

"Niangniang, the slave maid has been arranged according to Niangniang's instructions, but there is no movement in the middle palace, even the little palace maid has not been severely punished, the queen is nothing more than to make her grounded in Kunren Palace, not let her contact with people outside Kunren Palace anymore, the slave and maid are in a hurry, what a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, it didn't work out."

The concubine was not in a hurry at all, shook the fan embroidered with peony flowers, and took a plum mint dew with crushed ice handed by Luo, drank two sips, and said: "One night, the emperor drank too much, and he actually called Gu's maiden name in his sleep, and I knew that although the queen mother believed that Zhenlong's murder was a traitor of the Tao family, the emperor really still remembered the Gu family in his heart, and looked at these years, the emperor's attitude towards Zhao Lanting was much worse than before, indicating that the emperor has been unable to let go of his delusion.

However, Zhao Lanting, young and vigorous, for the reputation of his generation of famous ministers, has been arguing with the emperor on the matter of Jin after the war, and refuses to obey the king's order, how can the emperor not be more angry with him? After Xu Jin became a minister, the emperor promoted the Duke of Tang to the cabinet, and snubbed and alienated the mother and son of the middle palace, in order to warn Zhao Lanting not to rebel against the monarch's heart.

But Zhao Lanting's party and Shen Cassia still don't give an inch, and the emperor can't bear it, this is the perfect time for Zhao Lanting to suppress Xuan Zhutang! The queen did not fall for the plan, and was determined to protect herself, although it seemed that I was unable to kill two birds with one stone in vain, but the VBN still stepped on another trap for me. Next, you can spread rumors in the inner court, but the queen heard about the old case of Zhenlong's murder, and she was jealous and hateful to Mrs. Gu, so she refused Mrs. Gu's invitation, as if she was a sister who turned against her. ”

"But isn't that ...... Let the emperor know that there is already gossip in the palace? ”

"Those words, but the palace people of Cining Palace revealed that the emperor is pursuing it, and it can only be investigated to the empress dowager, how can the emperor take his own grandmother?"

Luo thought about it carefully, but recognized that it was indeed foolproof, and said: "Zhao Gebu must be a defeat this time, but that Gu clan ...... After all, she is already married to a wife, can the emperor still accept her into the palace? ”

Can those imperial historians in the court not discourage such a ridiculous behavior of the emperor?

"Zhao Lanting was beheaded, and the Gu family was martyred, so he could change his surname and name and quietly enter the palace, although he naturally couldn't get the title of concubine, but the emperor just wanted to stay with her, and a female official in the Qianqing Palace, where would it attract the attention of the courtiers?"

"Is Niangniang willing to let the Gu family be favored?"

"Hengzhu, I already have two children under my knees, Erlang and Sanlang, so the Gu family can neither give birth nor even see the light, where is it worth me to compete with her and be jealous? My opponent is only the Empress of the Middle Palace. Zhao Lanting and Gu's husband and wife are in love, but Queen Dong did not save her when she saw death at a critical time, which indirectly led to Zhao Lanting being executed. With the Gu family playing right and wrong by the emperor's side, the queen will always pay the price for Mingzhe's self-preservation one day. ”

After being happy for a while, Concubine Qiao heard that Chun Gui had already entered the palace, and her brows finally frowned: "The Dong family does not pursue the rumors, but on the other hand, what is the way to summon the Gu family?" She should understand that since she wants to protect herself, she can't agree to Gu Shiwei

Zhao Lanting's intercession, if she dares to open this mouth, it will inevitably arouse the emperor's disgust, could it be that her idea is to take the first step to entrap the Gu family? ”

Luo Shi was anxious again: "I'm afraid it's not the queen who is helping Gu to intercede on the one hand, and Gu on the other hand...... The concubine and the old party of Tang Pavilion are the masterminds behind the scenes. ”

"It seems that I really underestimated Empress Dong, she is not as old-fashioned and inflexible as I expected." Qiao Guifei threw away the fan, got up and paced: "In this way, the Gu family cannot be allowed to live, otherwise she and Empress Dong have the same hatred, I am not the opponent of the two of them, I have to think of a plan, let the Gu family die, and then let the emperor be suspicious of Empress Dong." ”

Let's not talk about what conspiracy and tricks the Qiao family is brewing again, the queen and Chungui in Kunren Palace met this time, and the queen really felt that many words were difficult to say, but Chungui went straight to the topic first: "Please see Niangniang today, I want to ask Niangniang to report to the emperor, I want to face the saint." ”

As a foreign woman, naturally she can't directly ask for advice from the king of a country, and Chun Gui is also forced to transfer the appeal through Mingzhu, and now she really doesn't care about whether the emperor's dirty thoughts will let Mingzhu know, although she hasn't seen the place of the edict with her own eyes, but she has already heard about it, how can she still be calm and calm after hearing that Lan Ting is in the edict prison? Find a way to thoroughly investigate the real murderer of King Anping and return Lan Ting's innocence? She doesn't have this great ability, she only knows that she is the only person who has the right to decide Lan Ting's life and death.

It's the Ninety-Five.

"Sister has a comprehensive plan?" Mingzhu saw that Chungui was so anxious, and she couldn't take care of it anymore, so she told everything in full: "Yesterday, I just received a letter from Sister A, and someone in Kunren Palace was talking about Zhenlong's killing, if it wasn't for Concubine Hui's dissuasion, I would have almost stepped into the trap, Sister Ah went to ask the emperor at this time, I'm afraid it would ...... To tell you the truth, when I heard that the emperor had such a ridiculous idea, I also felt indignant, but last night I calmed down and thought about it, at this time, I really can't act impulsively, the most important thing is not to be angry, but to rescue my brother-in-law from the edict first, I am worried that Sister A is angry, and it will be harmful to anger the emperor. ”

Chungui heard Mingzhu say this, and was more sure of the cause of this sudden disaster, but in turn comforted Mingzhu: "Sister rest assured, I will not act recklessly, my sister must not mention the matter of Zhenlong's killing in the future, just as if she had never heard of it, my sister only needs to tell the emperor that I am waiting in Kunren Palace to face the saint." ”

Mingzhu saw that Chun Gui was so determined, and he didn't say much.

Spring return waited in the side hall of Kunren Palace, watching the sun shadow move a little in the middle, the mottled light color through the carved window on the gold brick floor, she had never been so disgusted with this palace as at this time, just like witnessing these light colors and sun shadows at this time, all exuding a kind of piercing cold atmosphere.

She heard footsteps, and in her lowered gaze was the yellow-robed dragon boots, and she took a deep breath and bowed.

"Let's be flat." The emperor was saluted, but also lowered his gaze to look at the woman dressed according to the product, he felt as if time had stopped in her, inside and outside the palace, after many years, but she did not change in the slightest, still green silk like clouds, still skin snow, even such a rule, did not weaken her innate vitality, she is fresh, but also bright, is the sun bathed in the spring breeze and autumn dew of the fragrance, never carefully pruned into the eyes of the world rules of potted plants, yes, is by her to create a bottle for potted plants, There has never been a lack of vigorous natural freshness.

That's why he insisted so much, wanting to keep her in this palace, this

This kind of thought gradually turned into a kind of obsession, and he thought what if he was persecuted? It's been too long, he can finally influence her, he can be more dedicated than Zhao Jibu, as long as she is willing, there is nothing he can't be satisfied.

But why do we meet now, and suddenly I don't know where to start?

The king of a country is silent, and Chungui can only be silent, she must follow the rules of etiquette, what should be said has been said in a private opinion many years ago, Gu Chungui is just a courtier, and she has nothing to do with it.

"Mrs. Gu is here to intercede for Zhao Ji?" It was easy for the emperor to find an entry point, and of course he understood that today's spring return was not because of longing.

But he didn't want to hear a response, so he followed up and said: "Tao Xiao bowed deeply to the people of the Anping Palace, and one of the chamberlains finally confessed, he had heard the murderer of the King of Anping say that it was Zhao Ji who did not use the murderer's family as a threat, so that the murderer assassinated the King of Anping, and immediately cut himself, otherwise his parents, brothers, and even nephews and other relatives would not be able to save their lives. However, the murderer was still worried that Zhao Zhen would not break his promise, and instead of letting go of his relatives, he would kill people, so he told his friends, and left Zhao Zhibei to hand over a handwritten letter to the murderer, in which he promised that as long as the murderer acted according to the order, he would ensure the prosperity and wealth of the murderer's family. ”

Qin Xun stared at Chungui's lowered eyelashes tightly, and his tone was still gentle: "Mrs. Gu is not an ordinary woman, I know that you should know about the state politics of the court, recently because of the Houjin incident, there have been many disputes between the cabinet, between the cabinet and me, Mrs. Gu knows better, why I insist on crusading against Houjin, I should have understood my anxiety, but he has always been stubborn, resulting in the crusade not being carried out for a long time." ”

"The courtiers are a woman in the house, and they dare not speak falsely about the state politics of the court, and the courtiers ask for a holy face today, only hoping that the emperor will see the friendship of the grandson in the past, and allow the courtiers to go to prison with the emperor."

Don't argue, don't ask for forgiveness, just ask for inseparability, and share the joys and sorrows.

Qin Xun took two steps forward, but Chun Gui didn't even raise his eyelashes, but the chest of the Ninety-Five Venerable rose and fell for a while, but he endured those persecutive words: "Family members accompany the edict to prison, this is not in accordance with the law, Mrs. Gu should go back to the Taishi Mansion first and wait for the trial." ”

"If the emperor refuses to allow it, the courtiers will go to the Beizhen Mansion Department and admit that all the crimes were committed by the courtiers, and have nothing to do with the grandson and anyone, then the courtiers are suspects, and they should go to prison."

"You!" Qin Xun took a deep breath and once again suppressed the irritability in his chest: "Do you think that if you say that you have nothing to do with others, others will not be criticized by you?" ”

"If it is destined that the courtiers will go to the execution ground with their grandson, it is also a helpless thing."

There was silence in the hall, and the light and shadow penetrated through a carved window were separated between the emperor and his courtiers, clearly and vascularly, but like substance, this gap between the virtual and the real still did not make Qin Xun sober.

The two that he expects are in harmony with each other, but in fact, it is not something that Spring Return can give.

There was a faint chime of a Western clock, and there was a muffled sound across several palace rooms, Qin Xun lowered his eyelids again, he stepped forward, standing side by side with Chungui, but it was in a different direction: "Chungui, what you rely on is that I have never regarded you as different from others, so between us, what is it only for the monarch and minister?" ”

He started to walk, and at the same time as he stepped out of the threshold, a loud order came: "Liang Xiaoxian, send Mrs. Gu to the edict." ”
