Xie Mingxi was very considerate, and immediately said: "The imperial sister and the queen mother must have something to say, let's step back for the time being!" ”

Xiao Yuhan and the others had no objection and nodded one after another.

Sheng Hong walked to the side of the bed and said earnestly: "The queen mother is unwell, so she should not be tired. After talking to the imperial sister for a while, I can rest. The sons came back to see the queen mother in the evening. ”

The Son of Heaven came to the palace three times a day, and personally carried the medicine to the bedside, which can be called a model of filial piety.

Every time Empress Dowager Yu saw Sheng Hong's handsome face, her heart swelled with anger and blood, and she was not even in the mood to act, and snorted coldly: "No need." The mourning family is not so blessed, and they can't afford the emperor's 'filial piety'. ”

The sarcastic words, spit out intermittently, lost their strength, and showed a bit of comical.

Sheng Hong felt quite happy in his heart, and he didn't care about the bad attitude of Empress Dowager Yu, so he respectfully retired.

Xie Mingxi and others also retreated one after another.

In the bedroom, only Zhilan and Yuqiao were left to serve.

Princess Changping cried fiercely on the edge of the bed.

Empress Dowager Yu suffered heavy setbacks one after another, and no matter how tenacious her mind was, she also felt depressed. refused to show weakness to others, and in front of his daughter, he didn't need to be strong, and he also shed tears.

However, Empress Dowager Yu is not a person who feels sorry for herself, and she has not completely lost her fighting spirit because of such a heavy blow. opened his mouth and said: "Changping, you wiped your tears for the mourning family." ”

Princess Changping responded with red eyes, took out a handkerchief, and wiped her tears for Empress Dowager Yu. He said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi are not good at stubble, and they are not the same heart as the Queen Mother. ”

"It's all come to this, and the queen mother should stop fighting with them. The queen mother is the queen mother, as long as they are willing to take a step back, they have to respectfully ...... the queen mother for the sake of filial piety."

Before he could say all the words in his stomach, he was forced back by the anger that burst out of Empress Dowager Yu's eyes.

"Bastard!" Empress Dowager Yu gritted her teeth and scolded angrily: "Are you going to mourn the family and bow your head and retreat, wag your tail and beg for mercy, begging for mercy from that cunning and ruthless couple?" ”

"No way!"

Princess Changping did not have the grief and indignation of being scolded, only helplessness and sadness: "Queen Mother, don't you still recognize the situation?" ”

Sheng Hong sat on the dragon chair, and he was the son of Qi. Xie Mingxi took back the phoenix seal and rightfully took charge of the Six Palaces. They are husband and wife, how is the queen mother their opponent? ”

Not to mention, Empress Dowager Yu was seriously ill and didn't even have the strength to stay. The Yu family also completely gave up on Empress Dowager Yu......

Of course, the last sentence piercing the heart, Princess Changping couldn't say it.

Rao is like this, and the Empress Dowager Yu is already furious, and her face is full of strange red tides: "No, the mourning family still has a killer feature!" The mourning family didn't lose! ”

Killer?

Princess Changping was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "What else does the queen mother have to deal with the emperor?" ”

Empress Dowager Yu was silent.

Xie Mingxi's taking sterilization pills is a secret between her and Xie Mingxi. No one should be allowed to know. Xie Mingxi would never dare to tell Sheng Hong about this. She won't let anyone know about it either.

Once the queen mother, she forced the queen of the middle palace to take the sterilization pill. Once such things spread, she, the queen mother, will be discredited, and she will also be spurned by thousands of people.

Even if it is to his daughter, he can't say it.

Empress Dowager Yu refused to say, and Princess Changping had no choice, so she had to be comforted and appeased with good words. A doubt was buried in my heart.

……

From this day on, Princess Changping stayed in the Fulin Palace.

Xiaojun's patron Shu Jin also stayed.

With Princess Changping on her side, Xiao Yuhan, Zhao Changqing, and Yin Xiaoxiao came to serve the sick, and they couldn't get close to the bed. Xie Mingxi came to visit three times a day as usual, rain or shine.

Empress Dowager Yu has been operating in the palace for decades, and she has many eyes and ears.

Xie Mingxi has been secretly watching for more than half a year, and he has touched the confidants of the Empress Dowager Yu. Taking advantage of the momentum of taking charge of palace affairs at the beginning, he vigorously and resolutely seized the positions of several female officials, and promoted and appointed a number of others. The palace maid who chewed her tongue in private, after being caught, was a board.

In just a few days, the harem became much more "refreshing".

That's not enough, of course.

After Xie Mingxi took charge of the phoenix seal, he gave the first phoenix decree of grace. Palace maids who are over thirty years old can be invited out of the palace. or return home, or marry a man.

This phoenix decree has set off countless storms in the harem.

In the harem of Daqi, there has never been a precedent for letting a thirty-year-old palace maid go out of the palace to return home or get married. When the palace maids entered the palace when they were young, they either died of illness, made mistakes and were beaten to death, or died of old age in the palace. Now that the grace is ordered, there are not a few palace maids who want to leave the palace.

In this way, the original pattern in the palace has also been completely broken.

Of course, there are also older palace maids who are reluctant to leave the palace. For example, Zhilan Yuqiao, such as Xianghui Qinse, and so on. These are palace maids who have served their masters for many years, and they are also decent in the palace, and they are unwilling to go out of the palace to marry.

Xie Mingxi let it go, and he was not reluctant.

The number of palace maids who invited them out of the palace reached more than one-third. Xie Mingxi ordered Xianghui and others to review and inquire one by one, and each palace maid was rewarded with a generous amount of silver and released out of the palace.

About a quarter of the palace maids in the palace have gone.

This phoenix decree also spread Xie Mingxi's name as a virtuous queen.

This incident took more than a month of effort.

The palace maids left a lot, and Xie Mingxi was not in a hurry to choose the palace maids to enter the palace.

The harem of the Son of Heaven is empty, and she is only the queen. Coupled with Empress Dowager Li, Empress Dowager Yu and a group of concubines, there are not many serious masters. There are nearly 1,000 palace maids waiting, and more than 100 palace maids are released out of the palace at one time, and all parts of the palace can also be supported.

Most of these more than 100 palace maids are Empress Dowager Yu's people. As a result, most of the eyes and ears of Empress Dowager Yu in the palace were removed.

Next, Xie Mingxi issued another phoenix decree to order all the elderly and frail attendants to leave the palace.

The chamberlain and the maid are different. The palace maid can return home and marry when she leaves the palace. The chamberlains were all clean men, with crippled bodies, and most of the houses were empty. Releasing the palace in this way is no different from expulsion.

Furthermore, what is the criterion for old age and infirmity?

How old is old age? What does it mean to be frail?

The attendants were in trepidation.

The first to bear the brunt is Grandpa Lu.

In terms of age, there is almost no one in the palace who is older than Grandpa Lu. Servant is a high-risk profession, or is punished for making mistakes, or is punished for anger, or is used to die well...... In short, there are very few people who can live out in peace.

As a veteran of the Three Dynasties, Gonggong Lu became the oldest chamberlain in the palace.

As for the frailty, as an internal attendant, there are few people who are physically strong. According to this standard, most of the palace attendants have to go.

The hearts of the inner servants fluctuated and they were panicked. In private, he took Father-in-law Wei in a roundabout way, and did not hesitate to give heavy gifts, just asking Father-in-law Wei to say a few kind words in front of the emperor and the queen, and take back his fate.

Father-in-law Wei did not respond.

Gonggong Lu became the first chamberlain to leave the palace.
