In the Chaoxia Palace, Concubine Xun is sitting under the window with a serious face doing female red, her fingers are moved lightly, threading the needle, only to see a lifelike flying dragon on the bright yellow silk satin presented under her hands, vivid, it can be seen that the embroidery is exquisite.

The delicate and white fingertips moved lightly, crossing the small arcs one by one in the air, the breeze was blowing, the lilac phoenix skirt was slightly fluttering, the posture was beautiful, the makeup was exquisite, and there was no loneliness and sadness at all.

Because she knows that with Xiao Muheng's son in front of the emperor, coupled with the connections in the court, it is only a matter of time before she is restored to favor, she is not in a hurry, what she needs to do is not to let the emperor forget her, and she has to always remind the emperor that he is in the deep palace, and she has been thinking about him infatuatedly.

Therefore, the embroidered robe in her hand is the robe she uses to express her heart, and naturally the better she embroiders, the more she can show her intentions, so as to arouse the emperor's guilt and love.

Concubine Xun was quietly embroidering, and a palace maid came in to report: "Niangniang, King Xin is here." ”

Although the emperor cut the concubine position and grounded her in Chaoxia Palace, he did not say that he was not allowed to visit, so it is not surprising that King Xin was able to come to visit Concubine Xun.

I saw Concubine Xun with a happy face, put down the needle and thread in her hand and got up and walked to the door, just as she met Xiao Muheng's concerned and anxious eyes: "It's okay if the mother is fine, the son has heard about what happened in the palace, but the son is so worried." ”

Concubine Xun saw a motherly smile on her son's face, this smile was from the heart of love, she was already good-looking, coupled with careful makeup, there was still a stunning look with eyebrows, otherwise it would not be possible for the emperor to favor her alone in the past two years, but a few faint fine lines at the corners of the eyebrows and eyes are the carving of time, and no one can eliminate them.

A smile appeared at the corner of Concubine Xun's mouth, and she was pulled by Xiao Muheng to sit down, and said, "Then Heng'er thinks that her mother should be like an ordinary woman, crying, making trouble and hanging herself?" ”

Xiao Muheng saw his mother's appearance and said with a wry smile: "Mother still has the heart to joke. ”

Concubine Xun lowered her head and stroked the embroidery pattern on the cuffs, and said lightly: "It's not that the mother concubine is not sad, it's just that I'm used to living alone like this, it's not like this for so many years, grace is originally what the Ming Dynasty didn't have, and only what is firmly held in your hands is the most real." Do you now believe what your mother told you before? ”

A sad expression flashed on Xiao Muheng's face, and he said in a low voice: "Erchen knows that his mother will not do anything to endanger his father, and this matter must have been done on purpose." ”

Concubine Xun touched her son's shoulder, sighed and said: "You now know that your mother is good for you, no matter how good your brothers and sisters are, when they encounter the struggle for power and storage position, they have always been bloody, he can do this to his mother today, can you imagine that if he sits in that position one day, can we have a way to live for our mother and son?" ”

Xiao Muheng's eyes were slightly red, and he said with a little loss: "My son still thinks that the second brother is not like such a person." ”

Concubine Xun shook her head and said, "People will change, if it weren't for him, who would have dealt with us like this?" So this storage position is not something you can do alone without fighting. Think about it for yourself. ”

Xiao Muheng sat on the golden silk nanmu chair, did not speak for a long time, after a long silence, Xiao Muheng raised his head, there was a touch of determination in his eyes, looked at his mother and said, "What does my mother want me to do next?" ”

Concubine Xun stared at her son for a long time, smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Do a good job of what your father gave you, and you must do your best to win your father's attention." Also, secretly went to Wen Xiang's mansion to ask for guilt, indicating that you will not be confused by these rumors, and will definitely try to take the princess back to the mansion to show your sincerity to the greatest extent, Wen Xiang's support is very important to you, do you understand? ”

Xiao Muheng lowered his head slightly, a faint pain passed over his face, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said, "My son understands!" ”

There was a hint of ruthlessness in Concubine Xun's eyes, which was not at all like the usual gentle and indisputable appearance, and said slowly: "One more point, don't intercede for me in front of your father." ”

Xiao Muheng looked at his mother in confusion, only to see Concubine Xun walk to the window, sighed, and said: "Only if you don't say it, and I don't say it, he will feel sorry for his mother, this is his mother's opportunity." ”

Xiao Muheng nodded thoughtfully, resigned from Concubine Xun and left Chaoxia Palace.

Of course, Concubine Xun would not tell her son that she had a part in the fall of the Lin family, in her eyes, this son's mind was too clean and simple, and she would let her contaminate these filths, she didn't want her son to be like her, who only knew how to scheming people's hearts all his life.

More than ten days later, when Concubine Xun Lingzhu sent the embroidered Nine Dragons brocade silk nightgown to the Chengqian Palace, the next day, the emperor took Sun Fu to the Chaoxia Palace, his face was unable to hide the expectation and happiness, there was some eagerness between the steps, and the speed was a little faster than usual.

When one foot walked into the gate of Chaoxia Palace, I saw two palace maids talking sneaky, and there was a carrier pigeon in their hands, and there was a thin bamboo tube at the leg and wrist of the carrier pigeon.

When the two saw the emperor and Sun Fu, their faces turned pale, and they threw the white dove in their hands into the air, and the white dove fluttered its wings and flew up, and the emperor frowned and ordered: "Intercept that pigeon!" ”

I saw a figure behind him jump, and the carrier pigeon that flew up in an instant was caught, which showed that this person had done a good job, and then took out the note in the bamboo tube and handed it to the emperor.

When the two palace maids saw that the note fell into the hands of the emperor, their faces were no longer bloody, and they only stared at the emperor with wide eyes, and one of the palace maids was Lingzhu.

The emperor unfolded the small note, only to see that the text on it was not Chinese, and it was crooked like a ghost drawing, but Xiao Jingjiao had read the letter of the Covenant since he ascended the throne and ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun to the Khitan, so he didn't know the Khitan language, and his face changed at the moment, and he walked quickly into the palace.

Concubine Xun smiled when she saw the bright yellow brocade robe, but when her eyes moved to the emperor's face, her smile disappeared, and she just ordered the palace maid Lingzhu to pass the letter out, but she saw the emperor come in, and she didn't have to think about it to know what was going on.

But now she had an idea in her mind.

The emperor handed the note to Concubine Xun, stared at her with eagle-like eyes, and said coldly, "How do you explain?" ”

Concubine Xun took the note and looked at it, frowned, and asked as if she didn't know: "Your Majesty, this text is not in Chinese, and the concubines can't understand it, what does it mean?" ”

Lingzhu on the side heard Concubine Xun's words, her body shook, and her face became a little paler.

The emperor smiled: "Isn't this supposed to ask you, Concubine Ai?" This text is Khitan, 'The task is not completed, wait for the opportunity to do it again, and wait for the good news.' 'You are in the Great Jin Palace, what is your mission?' What to do again? Who do you want to wait for? ”

Although the emperor asked with a smile, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he asked three times in a row, which made Concubine Xun unconsciously take two steps back, but then said with an innocent face: "The concubine really doesn't know what this means, does it mean that the emperor, do you suspect that the concubine is a spy of the Khitan?" But the concubine was wronged. ”
