Chapter 193: The Narrow Road

The Queen Mother was terminally ill, and the imperial doctor was helpless.

The emperor was anxious and never went to court for days.

On this day, Empress Dowager Guan was a little more energetic, took her son's hand, and said slowly: "The matter of the queen's selection should not be delayed any longer, and it is necessary to announce it to the world as soon as possible." ”

Zhang nodded silently.

"It's not very difficult, just say that it's just a joy with me, an old man, this reason, I don't think anyone dares to come out to oppose it, and those courtiers will not be too harsh on the people selected in a hurry, even Qian Zhongmo, because of this reason, I am afraid that I can't refuse."

Empress Dowager Guan gasped a few times and said again.

"The queen mother, you are so resting, and the sons and daughters are obeying the order." Zhang said a little miserably, personally served her to lie down, and watched her be stable before leaving.

Two hours later, the news that the emperor was going to appoint a new queen as the queen mother spread throughout the harem.

Calm is fiddling with the flowers and plants left by the gardener in the back garden.

The laughing man walked in and told her the news.

Calm down, no reaction at all, continue to water the newly planted flowers.

Xiaoren was confused for a while, she didn't know what she meant, she just stood there and didn't move, although she didn't say it, but she understood in her heart that although the master didn't say it, the master must also be thinking about that position in his heart.

Otherwise, why coax the emperor wholeheartedly? And what concubine doesn't want to ascend to that throne?

Anyway, that's what the laughing people think in their hearts.

Kong Lingci walked in with a box in his hand, and when he saw that he was calm, he sneered.

"If you want to sarcastically scold me, you can still avoid it, my mother's family has no one, and I am incompetent, today's situation is already doomed." Calm first bet on her mouth.

Kong Lingci snatched the watering can from her, dragged her into the hall, pressed her to the chair and sat down, glared at her with her eyes, and sneered: "This time, did you lift a stone and hit your own foot, hoping that the old thing would die, and you might hold her son and let you do whatever you wanted?"

It's the opposite, this old thing didn't die, but got a rival to enter the palace. ”

Calmly took a sip of tea from the teacup and shook his head: "I think what I said just now was in vain, and you didn't listen to it at all." ”

"What do you think you're going to do now? Is it possible to swallow this breath so willingly? Kong Lingci asked.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of her calm mouth: "If she doesn't die, even if there is no new queen, can I still go to heaven?" ”

Kong Lingci was stunned for a while, and then sighed: "So you have already calculated?" I said, why don't you come to her rescue, because she's sick like this? ”

Spread your hands calmly: "Don't wronged me, I'm not a god, and I won't cure all diseases." ”

"The new queen is the young lady of General Qian's family, the emperor's intention is too obvious, I am afraid that the courtiers will not be convinced, then Miss Qian has no queen's posture at all, I am afraid that she has no queen's ability, and she will not be able to be a queen at all." Kong Lingci said with a smile.

"Lao Kong, you must not judge people by their appearance, their appearance is natural, and they don't have the final say on themselves, it's not kind to make fun of people with this." Calm down.

"You have a pretty good impression of the new queen." Kong Lingci sneered.

Kong Lingci's words made Calm couldn't help but feel sad.

There is no turning back from the bow, she has now become a heinous murderer, killing one life after another, although sometimes she will comfort herself with a successful death, but face the reality, in the face of this life, her heart is still trembling and painful.

She was crazy because of the loss of love, and halfway through, she found that she was just as pitiful as those people.

These days, she's been wondering if she should continue.

Zhang did not find out that the gardener was Sima Nan.

Instead, he really rewarded him with more than ten acres of fields on the outskirts of Beijing, let him plant grass and flowers, and supply them for the harem.

Sima Nan was able to stay in a new identity.

Because of this, Calm suddenly felt that he really had no reason to continue like this.

But since I've reached the halfway point, I don't want to go back, and I can't go back. That's what makes her feel the most sad.

If she stops now, won't what she did before always be a thorn in her heart that is difficult to get rid of?

When the new queen enters the palace, she is bound to be her new enemy, and for the sake of her great plan, she must get rid of her, whether this woman is kind or not.

Just like Concubine Zhuang and them, the fault is that they occupy resources that they shouldn't occupy.

"Calm down, I gave you a hairpin, only one pearl less than the queen's." Kong Lingci opened the box in his hand, took out a hairpin and handed it to her.

"Thank you." Calmly took the hairpin and put it on his head.

"It's good-looking, my craft is getting better and better." Kong Lingci looked left and right, and smiled with satisfaction.

The clock rang outside, got up calmly, tidied up his clothes, and walked out: "It's time to go and greet the Queen Mother." ”

"I'll go with you, Mama Liu has made a new waist hanger, and I'll give it to her." Kong Lingci put down the box, pulled her arm and walked out together, and asked her with concern: "Is your wrist okay?" Why didn't you even stick Lord Zhu's ointment? ”

"It hurts occasionally, but I think it's better." Calmly replied.

The two gossiped all the way to Jingyue Palace, walked to the passage in front of Jingyue Palace, and saw two girls walking out of the gate of Jingyue Palace from a distance.

Kong Lingci's eyes were sharp, he glanced over, and immediately called out in a low voice: "This is too fast, can this come in?" ”

Squinting calmly, looking at the past, Miss Qian has never seen her once, but listening to Kong Lingci's words, there is no doubt that this must be Miss Qian.

Calmly pulled Kong Lingci to go around to the path next to him.

Kong Lingci refused to leave, and said in surprise: "Are you afraid of her?" She's just a white body now, what can she do with you? Is this admitting defeat without fighting? ”

Calm and cry and laugh.

She's not an aggressive hen who wants to win the fight with her own kind.

What she wants to fight for is clearly different from theirs.

She just didn't want to start a war so early, to put it bluntly, she just pitied this little girl who was about to become her prey.

While the two were tearing up, Qian Huaiyun had already come closer.

Kong Lingci bowed and called Miss Qian.

Qian Huaiyun didn't look at her, but kept staring at her calmly.

calmly waited for her to give a salute, but she did not give a salute, but looked at her from beginning to end with a presumptuous gaze.

Kong Lingci, who was standing on the side, let out a sigh in his heart, this unlucky child, how can he not know humility, if he has a correct attitude and refuses to compete with calm, he may be able to live longer, now like this, I am afraid that my life will not be long, and the so-called wealth and glory are just a passing moment for her.

"This hairpin on your head is very beautiful, Miss Ben likes it." Qian Huaiyun was disrespectful.

"Since Miss Qian likes it, can I give it to you?" Calmly plucked the hairpin off his head and handed it over.

"I'm sorry you to put it on Miss Ben, my two girls who go out with me are stupid and can't do such delicate work, and it just so happens that Miss Ben didn't come out with the big girl."

Qian Huaiyun has to inch in.

Nodding calmly, she stood on tiptoe and stuck the hairpin on her head.

"Ah, I never wear a hairpin here, I have to wear it on that side to look good." Qian Huaiyun stretched out his hand and touched it, and screamed.

Calmly, he stood on tiptoe again and thrust it in for her again.

This time, Qian Huaiyun was finally satisfied, bent down to salute and thank you, pulled the two girls to raise the clouds, and the ridicule that floated back with the wind made Kong Lingci laugh dumbly:

I'm a great person, but I'm also a bale of waste, what do I ask her to do, what does she have to do yet?

Calmly continued to walk towards Jingyue Palace.

Kong Lingci caught up with her and sighed: "In your mind, is she dead?" ”

Calm and expressionless, his voice was cold: "Everyone has the right to live, even if it is dead in my heart, so what?" See if she can live in her own world. ”

"I just hope that she can die a decent death, not worse than Guan Rong." Kong Lingci said.

"If she really died, she was also killed by herself, and the person who was killed by herself, where can she be decent?" Calm and cold.

Kong Lingci shuddered, separated from her, and went to the side courtyard to find Mama Liu to deliver the items.

Calmly walked into the inner palace.

Empress Dowager Guan just got up from the bed, was drinking soup, with a sick face, saw her, waved her hand slightly, and politely: "I have said it, you don't have to run here three or four times a day, the weather is cold, beware of your own cold." ”

"Is Niangniang's illness better? The concubine looked at this spirit and was much stronger. "Calm and polite.

"Lend you good words." Empress Dowager Guan was also polite.

Calmly sat down in a chair, had nothing to say, and was going to take his leave.

Empress Dowager Guan spoke again: "I was about to call you here, I have something to say, and I see that the new queen is about to enter the palace, because of my illness, this person was selected in a hurry."

You are an old man in the palace, wait for her to enter the palace, take care of her more, don't be with her in general, what does she not understand, you teach her diligently, that child is good, is a well-educated, just came to ask for peace, speak, speak softly, and comfort people, it can be seen that he is a good temper. Empress Dowager Guan said.

"The concubine wrote it down." Calmly and respectfully replied.

"The mourning family knows that you have always been reasonable, and you are not comparable to those women with small bellies." Empress Dowager Guan had a smile on her face and beckoned the palace maid to take a piece of paper.

"Look, this is a few contracts I made with the two of you, but it's what I said just now, if you agree, write a name on it and stamp it with my phoenix seal,

In the future, no matter which of you wants to break your oath, just take this out, you can also release your old suspicions and get back together, right? Empress Dowager Guan said.

Calmly picked up the pen to sign it, and secretly smiled bitterly in her heart, she would fall into the trap of others, which is really funny. This contract is clearly for that Qian Huaiyun to save his life,

Compared with these children, Empress Dowager Guan is still old and spicy enough, but unfortunately the opponent she met was calm and not an ordinary person.

"That's good, I'll keep this thing first, and when Yun'er enters the palace, in front of you, lock it in a brocade box and keep it for future use, of course, it's best if you don't need it, I still hope that you can get along like sisters for a lifetime and spread out for the royal family." Empress Dowager Guan said with a deep feeling.

Calmly responded, said a few more polite words, got up and left.

She didn't go back to Fengqi Palace, but went straight to the Moon Viewing Tower.
