Chapter 75: The Concubine

Huo Yanzhi quickly asked what happened from Zhi Wei's mouth.

About an hour ago.

Princess An looked at Zhiwei and praised with a smile.

"Sure enough, she is a beauty with ice muscles and jade bones, no wonder she can make Your Majesty see the world and run out of the palace. Look a little familiar, it seems to have been seen in the palace? ”

Zhiwei could only report to her home.

"How can such a coincidence?"

Princess An stroked her palms and smiled, and carefully knocked Zhiwei a few times: "Last time, I felt that she was a beauty, but now it has only been half a year, and she is even more beautiful." ”

She turned her head to the Queen Mother and said: "It is said that the eighteenth change of the female university, if you want me to say, the girl's family at this age is the same every day, don't blame the queen mother for being clumsy~"

The Queen Mother sneered, and a pair of Danfeng eyes scraped on Zhiwei's face like a knife, and Leng Buding suddenly said.

"You're really clumsy."

Princess An was surprised: "What does the queen mother mean by this? ”

"What does the mourning family mean, how can Your Majesty ignore the etiquette law because of his greed for beauty? Just said those words, just say it in front of the mourning family, but don't be embarrassed outside! ”

Princess An reluctantly agreed, but pouted and said, "But Your Majesty has repeatedly left the palace and placed this girl on Zhuangzi, isn't Sima Zhao's heart known to passers-by?" ”

She asked the Queen Mother, but the person who looked at her was Zhi Wei.

The Queen Mother didn't answer, she raised her eyebrows and squinted at Wei.

Zhi Wei was baffled by the singing and harmony of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but she also knew that it was time to express her own position at this time.

She didn't hesitate long before she said what she had said to defend herself.

"The Empress Dowager and the Princess, the slaves and maids have always been loyal to their duties, whether in the palace or in the courtyard, they only know how to do things according to the master's orders. As for other thoughts, I didn't dare to have them at all. The slave maid doesn't know why there are such rumors, and I hope that the queen mother and the princess will clear up the rumors. The innocence of the slave and maid is not to be feared, but I am afraid that His Majesty's reputation will be ruined, and the slave and maid will not be able to escape the blame for their death......"

The tube kneeling beside him was confused beforehand, and now he understood a little bit.

Dare to love this Zhiwei girl is too favored, and coaxed His Majesty not to carry herself into the palace to be bound by that rule, so that the Queen Mother was not pleasing to the eye, and deliberately came to beat her.

After guessing the general intention of the Queen Mother, the steward just breathed a sigh of relief, and began to hesitate to give Zhiwei a help.

He was very worried, in case the Queen Mother got angry and killed Miss Zhiwei on the spot, wouldn't it implicate himself when he turned around and looked back at His Majesty?

Although the Queen Mother is extremely noble, his little housekeeper is just an ant-like existence in front of her, and he has no right to speak at all, and he can't protect Miss Zhiwei.

However, if His Majesty's sweetheart is killed, where will His Majesty be reasonable enough to consider the steward, maybe he will have to bury Zhiwei with him!

The steward racked his brains to think of countermeasures, just in time to hear the queen mother's voice.

"So, you keep your duty and have nothing to do with Your Majesty? But is it still a virgin? ”

Zhi Wei's face was flushed by this miraculous question, and after reacting, she felt a deep shame.

She closed her eyes and clenched her fists even tighter, but she didn't see the surprised reaction of everyone present, including the steward of the Imperial Village.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the slave maid is indeed ......"

The last few words she almost squeezed out from between her teeth, and every time a word popped out, the blood on her face was a little less, and finally turned as white as a dead man.

The steward hesitated, but still spoke.

"Empress Dowager Qiqi, every time Your Majesty comes back to Zhuangzi, he has to inquire about the recent situation of trying to farm, and personally go to the ridge to check, and sometimes talk with the old farmers in the field, as if discussing agricultural problems. When he returned to his residence, His Majesty often kept the scrolls in his hands, and often asked the villain to go to the bookstore outside to collect books related to agricultural affairs. Forgive the little talk, Your Majesty did not indulge in female sex when he was in Zhuangzi......"

Princess An was amazed when she heard it, and suddenly her face was sentimental, and she turned to the Queen Mother and whispered.

"I didn't expect Your Majesty to work so hard, it's us philistines who blame Your Majesty for being wrong. I think that back then, my husband was also so diligent, reading with the lamp every night, and refused to rest until the third watch. Otherwise, it won't be ......"

The Queen Mother's face also became sad, and she patted Princess An's hand to stop her from continuing.

"Well, since it was a misunderstanding, the mourning family has nothing to say. The rumors stop at the wise, but it is indeed not good for His Majesty's reputation to let them spread like this. ”

She looked at Zhiwei with a sneer, as if the butcher was picking which pig to kill today with a strict eye.

"Since you are Your Majesty's slave, you should naturally relieve Your Majesty's worries, isn't that the truth?"

As soon as the queen mother's hand was raised, someone went down with half a hand, and before the latter could react, he was dragged out.

Zhi Wei's heart jumped suddenly, and she intuitively felt that the other party seemed to be planning something.

But she couldn't guess what the queen mother, the old fox who had been dormant for many years, was thinking, anyway, the queen mother didn't like her, and it was impossible to get her into the palace. The easiest way to eradicate the rumors is to let her die.

Zhiwei is unwilling to give away her life for this reason!

If it was before, it would have been fine, but now that she has met her brother and learned that her mother is safe, she is still waiting to be reunited with them......

How cruel it is to give a person hope first, and then let her fall into an even more boundless dark abyss!

Zhi Wei took a deep breath and said slowly: "What the Queen Mother said is true. ”

The Queen Mother seemed to be aware of what she was thinking, and said coldly: "Don't worry, the Mourning family has no intention of letting you die, and the Mourning family is not such a ruthless person." ”

She got up and took two steps, looked at Zhi Wei, and then cast her eyes on the fluttering snow outside the door.

The Queen Mother's voice suddenly became ethereal, as if she was muttering to herself: "Speaking of which, Your Majesty was born like his grandfather, but do you know who the prince is most like the first emperor?" ”

Princess An spoke behind her without thinking: "Naturally, it is the husband......

"yes, it's a pity he left too early. It's funny to say, in the past few years that your father has been gone, the mourning family has almost forgotten what he was born like, so they can only find a thought from King Xin. Although his biological mother came from a humble background, she had a competitive belly......"

Princess An shouted "Queen Mother" worriedly, and pulled the Queen Mother out of this worry about the past.

The Queen Mother turned around and looked at Zhiwei again, and she was back to normal.

"King Xin lived in the courtyard for a long time, and you served during this period, right?"

Zhi Wei raised her head suddenly, looked at the Queen Mother in horror, and didn't care about etiquette.

She hurriedly explained: "Back to the Queen Mother, the slave and the prince are not selfless......"

The Queen Mother raised her hand, motioned for her to be silent, and continued to speak to herself.

"Although you have a brother who has done a five-rank martial arts, his family background is still meager, and you can't afford the position of side concubine. Go to the palace to serve first, he has a child in the future, if your brother has some interest, the mourning family can allow you a side concubine. ”

Zhi Wei was almost shocked by the Queen Mother's words, and her brain couldn't move.

The Queen Mother wants to point her to King Xin as a concubine, and then draw a side concubine for her to make a flatbread, so that she can behave well?

Indeed, in addition to killing her, getting her married is also a very direct solution.

But Zhiwei felt that the Queen Mother was not like a soft-hearted person, and she would not take trouble for herself and be a matchmaker for her.

Even if she really wants to be a matchmaker, the Queen Mother can casually point her to some petty official who has a dead wife and is over fifty years old, so why should she be involved with King Xin?

For a moment, Zhi Wei felt that her blood was about to boil.

She wants to straighten her waist and resist, she doesn't want to leave the rest of her life to others, she doesn't want to be a concubine for King Xin......

But the Queen Mother's eyes were still the same sharp, and almost before she could react, she made people hold out a glass of wine, a dagger, and a foot of white silk.

Obviously, this is a multiple-choice question.

Thinking of the mother and brother who were still waiting for what she wanted to see, Zhi Wei couldn't die without any obstacles.

She spurned her cowardice, greed for life and fear of death, and felt sad and resentful of her humility and weakness!

She didn't do anything wrong, if she did, it must have been eight years ago, she shouldn't have chosen to sell herself for ten taels of silver!

She hated the ruthless Queen Mother, hated the pretending Princess An, hated the court that was obviously far away but still shrouded her with shadows, hated this damn world, hated the fact that she was powerless to control her own destiny......

She hated the young emperor.

Why didn't he come to save her?

If it weren't for his imminent departure and his special treatment, she would not have become a thorn in the side of the Queen Mother to personally pull out, and she would not have ended up with such a result!

She even hated the king a little.

Zhiwei is not a fool, she knows that the Queen Mother will not be untargeted, and there must be a reason for choosing King Xin.

Thinking of a certain secret that she had discovered before, Zhi Wei had to suspect that the Queen Mother might want to separate the emperor and the king of Xin, so she would make such a decision!

Zhi Wei's thoughts were a little confused, and she thought sadly, why couldn't King Xin and the emperor behave coldly, if so, wouldn't she be able to escape the catastrophe?

But she immediately came to her senses again.

If this noble mother and son want to make a move, they will definitely hurt the pond fish, as long as she stays in front of the palace, or even in the capital, she can't avoid being affected by their fighting methods.

She had no idea how she was pushed by the Queen Mother's people to dress up and send it to the door of King Xin's mansion like a big gift bag.

At that time, she was also accompanied by Jiangxue Xiaoling and other four people, they were all inexplicable when they were brought over, and they felt even more strange when they saw Zhiwei, until Mama He read out the Queen Mother's message, and they came back to their senses one by one.

The four girls reacted differently, some were shocked, some were indifferent, and some were happy, but Zhiwei couldn't pay attention to it anymore.

When she stood at the side door of the palace, Zhiwei had a thought, hoping that King Xin would return her.

Then, she was led to someone she hadn't expected to see again, and who she had seen at this time.

What made her even more horrified was that His Majesty hugged her without any scruples!

His big palm was attached to her hand, and the constant heat made her can't help but feel close, but she wanted to run away even more. Because she didn't dare to indulge in it, for fear that she would be drained of all will.

His Majesty whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, I will solve this matter for you!" You're going back to the palace with me today! ”

Zhiwei can no longer continue to hide her ears and deceive herself.

She wants to break free, not be controlled by the Queen Mother, and not become a pawn in other people's games, but she doesn't want to get "redemption" in this way. What's more, this is not salvation at all!

After standing up strongly, Zhi Wei gritted her teeth and knelt down.

"Your Majesty allowed the slave and the maid to meet with the elder brother before, and the slave and maid will never dare to forget this great kindness. I beg your majesty to be merciful and let the slave and maid go home! ”

Huo Yanzhi didn't make a sound, but his expression was incredible, and he said after a long time: "What did you say?" ”

The slave and maid said, "I beg Your Majesty to let the slave and maid go." The slave doesn't want to be a concubine, she just wants to go home and reunite with her family. I beg your Majesty's permission! ”
