Bao Xi hesitated for a moment, gathered the long hair behind him and stood up, the autumn breeze outside the window poured into the house, and the hot flashes of summer had long since disappeared. As she walked out of the house, Twenty-Seven followed closely behind her, lowered her voice and asked, "What is Empress Shen going to do here?" ”

Bao Xi shook her head.

Since the worship ceremony of the heavens after Shen Hou fell ill, the East Palace worship seems to have been permanently canceled, except for Mrs. Wei who came to Shen Hou every day to count Mrs. Qin, the East Palace is only cold.

Although it has not been abolished, it is not far away.

Qiongtai Hall is always closed to guests, and Bao Xi never solicits harem concubines, so he knows that he will not enter and leave here even if he is favored; However, it is well known to everyone that Mrs. Qin has gained power, and everyone thinks that Uncle Qin will definitely use his military exploits to blackmail the Ji Palace into being abolished, and then replace it with Mrs. Qin, so now the East Palace is no longer what it used to be.

Shen Hou knew that her position was in jeopardy, and she had to seek another way out of her predicament.

At the ceremony, the prince Yijiu looked at the stage with a deep resentment in his eyes, on the other hand, the queen mother was bullied in the palace again, and the status of the queen in the past was simply different.

Empress Shen and Mrs. Qin got close before, and Mrs. Qin invited Empress Shen to the merit of the ceremony, and the dismantling of the two people was obvious, and at this moment they simply tore their faces, and the two rooms no longer interacted. Shen Hou sent a letter to Shen Hou to inquire about the news of colluding with foreign gangs to steal the country, Shen Hou received the letter and was furious, threw the bamboo slips on the ground and kept trampling on them, and there were words in his mouth, "Faint king! Faint! It's not enough to drive Shen out of the court, but to slander Shen! Hum...... is so faint, why does Da Zhou need me to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason? Sooner or later, they will all perish! Hahaha...... "The laughter didn't go for a long time, echoing in the small room of Shenhou.

The messenger conveyed the matter to Shenhou, who read the letter and refused to even reply to the explanation, leaving the messenger empty-handed. Shen Hou's attitude made Shen Hou breathe a sigh of relief, she boasted that she still knew a little about her father, so once the doubts about this matter were removed, the only next question was Qin Bo's purpose of framing Shen Hou?

Empress Shen stood in the main hall, only bringing the people who served with her, this was the second time she came to the Qiongtai Palace, the first memory was not pleasant, and it was precisely because the first memory was not pleasant, so in the half a year that Bao Xi entered the palace, she thought about the law everywhere to let her die. But now, Mrs. Qin covets her posteriority, Mrs. Zheng has children by her side, and Mrs. Wei is insightful, so she can only choose to win over Mrs. Qin's power in order to counter Mrs. Qin's power.

"Shen Hou Niangniang," Bao Xi walked into the main hall, the thick soles did not make a sound, and the sudden sound made Shen Hou startled, and turned around to look at Bao Xi suddenly, the smile on her face twitched before it came down naturally, and said with a smile in her eyebrows, "I heard that you are sick, and this palace came to see you today." ”

"On this day, I am susceptible to wind and cold, and my mother is also recovering from a serious illness? Now I can still remember Bao Xi, Bao Xi is really grateful. Bao Xi replied, her tone was gentle, and the etiquette was complete.

"I'm afraid it's not the weather, right?" Shen Hou waved her hand, and the woman who came with her turned around and retreated, this was a gesture made for Bao Xi, Twenty-seven looked at Bao Xi, Bao Xi nodded slightly, and she immediately took the people in the hall out of the hall. In this huge front hall, only Bao Xi and Shen Hou were left, and it seemed extremely empty.

"Isn't Empress Shen still angry and asked you to serve the ancestor spirit card that day? That's not the idea of compliment, people always have to bow their heads under the eaves, and they hope that the queen mother will understand. Bao Xi looked at Empress Shen and said, Empress Shen was not surprised at all by her words, Mrs. Qin had analyzed it earlier, this idea must have come from the king, so she just said lightly, "You have always been a smart person." ”

"Praise is stupid." Bao Xi shook her head.

"You should know that in this palace, the edge is too revealing and easy to break, and the words of the demon concubine before pointed directly at you, do you know why?" Empress Shen smiled and pulled her hair like a loving mother.

"If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly," Bao Xi said, her tone flat and expressionless.

Empress Shen also looked at the praise for a long time, and found it difficult to get the slightest information from her expression, so she had to continue, "Since you entered the palace, the king has not sent Father Yu Shi to select beautiful women from all over the world to send to the palace, and he must be very special to you. ”

Bao Xi looked at Empress Shen, "Niangniang once praised me, and I was crowned with a harem." She took a step back, not wanting to touch herself after Shen, and took a step to pace in this hall, "Niangniang came today, didn't she talk to me about the old things, right?" Now in the Huachen Palace, singing and dancing, the king was just greedy for a moment of freshness, but now he is tired of it, so he is disgusted. She said that the brilliance in her eyes suddenly disappeared and dimmed, such a woman is too common in this palace.

"Do you know why the king is like this?" Empress Shen looked at Bao Xi and asked.

Bao Xi raised her eyes vigilantly and looked at Empress Shen, "Niang Niang knows the reason? ”

"Because Uncle Qin impeached you!" Empress Shen stared at Bao Xi and said word by word, like a threatening tone.

This made Bao Xi stunned and frowned.

Empress Shen's tone was very fast, and she almost smashed it in front of Bao Xi, "Mrs. Qin has planted blame three or four times, saying that your father is treason and collaborating with the enemy, and that you are troublesome to the king's heart, and even bought Sangzhu to point out the birthmark on your shoulder, which proves that you are a demon girl who was exiled from the palace during the reign of the previous king!" Uncle Qin impeached you, saying that you should be put to death to comfort the people, and the king and Uncle Qin had a bad relationship before there was such a scene! ”

"Does Empress Shen know a lot?" Bao Xi's speech speed was very slow, and she looked at Shen Hou's expression with an extremely complicated expression.

"It's hard to say about the things in the front hall, but in this harem, I dare to say that there is nothing I don't know. Uncle Qin had a bad relationship with the king, and Mrs. Qin lost her temper in the palace, and someone told me about it, and I only learned about it later. Shen Hou slowed down her tone and said eloquently, "Doctor Bao is a person, and the officials of the Manchu Dynasty know it, saying that he collaborated with the enemy and treason, which is really a joke!" Empress Shen sneered, revealing her extreme dissatisfaction with Mrs. Qin, "As for you, there is no certainty whether the harem woman is good or bad, it all depends on what people say!" In the past six months, the king has been diligent in government, and if you want to say that this credit can be regarded as yours. ”

"Empress Shen praised it falsely, and now the king is ignoring the government for me," Bao Xi was not excited by Empress Shen's words, but just asked rhetorically, "So now, the hat of the demon concubine of this disaster country is just right on my head?" It's not in vain that you bothered to make up this name in the first place! ”

"Do you think Hongu intends to put you to death?" Shen Hou found that Bao Xi had diverted his meaning.

"Isn't it?" Bao Xi looked at Empress Shen's eyes, her gaze was aggressive, and no one could tell a lie, Empress Shen avoided the gaze of Bao Xi, turned around and walked two steps, "I hope you can understand, the so-called queen is not only a woman in the harem and a wife of the king, but she also wants to help the king and assist the government, if you really cause trouble in the palace, I will never keep you." ”

"Oh?" Bao Xi asked curiously, "I don't know when the life of the world is decided by Empress Shen." ”

"I will kill you, and the king will not answer. If you rely on this, you will obey the king's orders for half a year, and you will be able to run rampant in the harem. But if I really want to take your life, it's not impossible, not necessarily everything has to be put on the table! Empress Shen looked at Bao Xi and smiled ill-willedly, this sentence made Bao Xi's scalp tingle, and turned to look around the back hall of the Qiongtai Palace, not knowing how many people in the Qiongtai Hall would tell Shen Hou everything that happened here.

"Don't worry," said Empress Shen, "the people of your Qiongtai Hall used to serve the king, and they were his people, and they were loyal to him. I just have more than enough heart, but also lack strength. ”

"Empress Shen came here today just to talk to me about this?" Listening to Empress Shen's words, a warm current flowed inexplicably in her heart, her sore feet were pinched in Ji Gongyan's hands, and only he could let her die.

Bao Xi's words reminded Empress Shen of today's real purpose, "Now that the king has lost his way for too long, the hearts of the people in the world are not attached, and now Dongyi is at war with the Qi country, if the Qi country is defeated, the whole country will criticize the king for losing, Qin Bo took the lead in raising troops at this moment, if the world echoes the princes' uprising, I am afraid that it is the status of the king......" Shen Hou swallowed deeply and shook his head.

"Empress Shen said to me, I can't take charge of the government on behalf of the king, what's the use?" Bao Xi asked knowingly.

"This palace has never begged anyone in my life," Empress Shen looked at Bao Xi and said, "But if this palace begs you to go to Huachen Hall today to pay homage to the king, and ask him to return to the court and take charge of the government, the war between Dongyi and Qi will be defeated, and everyone will know that their king has done his best." ”

"If you try your best but still can't do it well, then it's too incompetent," Bao Xi looked at Empress Shen and said, "If Niang Niang has the heart, she might as well kneel outside the Huachen Hall for seven hundred and forty-nine days, and the king may also receive you!" It is not necessarily, I was moved by Niangniang, and since then I have fallen in love with Niangniang alone, in this way, Mrs. Qin can't shake your status, as for me, ......" Bao Xi thought about it and said slowly, "I just want to be able to spend the rest of my life in peace and tranquility in the palace, and I hope that Niangniang can let go of Bao Xi." ”

Empress Shen's hands were clenched tightly together, she didn't expect Bao Xi to be so ruthless, she had long forgotten the low posture she came to today, and she opened her mouth to reprimand, but a woman suddenly rushed in outside the door, "Niangniang, Niangniang," she looked at Empress Shen and shouted, this person is the East Palace Maiden Yu Zhangrou, Bao Xi has seen once, and she still has some impressions at this moment, she folded her hands on her lower abdomen, looking at the two in front of her What are they going to say?

"Uncle Qin, he ......," Zhang Rou said, "he was assassinated." ”

"What?" Bao Xi and Empress Shen said in unison, but what they thought in their hearts was completely different.
