Falling from the highest cloud to the ground, but that's it.

When Tuoba Hong resolutely stepped out of the gate of Changxin Palace, Empress Xiao sat up with her body propped up, and said hoarsely towards his back: "Goro! You've never believed me......"

In the most desperate moment, she forgot her identity and shouted the word "Goro" to the emperor without hesitation. That's how many years ago, that's what she called her husband, and never again......

However, Tuoba Hiroshi left without looking back.

After the vermilion gate of Changxin Palace was heavily closed and a heavy copper lock was added, the turmoil in the harem of Great Qin had just begun.

The people in the harem watched the queen being grounded in disguise, and they all knew in their hearts that it was because of the incident in Changle Palace, and they were all shocked - as the mother of the country, she dared to commit a felony of rebellion, which is simply ......

And the emperor's investigation of the empress did not stop, he searched the palace for all the people who had been involved with the empress, and sent them all to the criminal department for interrogation. Obviously, the empress's grounding was just the beginning, and when the emperor had checked everything, no one knew what he would do with the empress.

The Xu clan punished the nine clans, and the Xie clan was given death, so what about the queen?

No one could have guessed the ending.

It's about the queen, and the concubines don't dare to talk much, but the days in the harem are already very different from before. At least, everyone no longer has to go to the Changxin Palace to say goodbye.

Because Concubine Jing was in charge of the harem and had the highest rank, on the second day after she obtained the palace power, dozens of concubines with active minds and clever brains spontaneously went to the main hall of Huayang Palace to greet Concubine Jing. Concubine Jing's personality was stable and unassuming, and when she saw these people coming over with enthusiasm, she asked rhetorically: "There are no rules in the palace for concubines to be given the title of morning province, why are you here?" ”

The concubines all smiled, and the only one replied first: "The middle palace is seriously ill, and all matters in the palace are handled by Concubine Jing, and Concubine Jing can naturally afford the sisters' greetings." ”

Concubine Jing was noncommittal, but she did not object.

After that, more and more people greeted Concubine Jing every day. Huayang Palace has become the master of the harem.

In the end, almost everyone came to Huayang Palace to say goodbye as if they were going to Changxin Palace Chen Province. Lin Yuan looked at the endless stream of concubines, sighed, and had to follow together to say goodbye to Concubine Jing.

To tell the truth, after Empress Xiao was grounded, the situation in the palace just changed from the west wind to the east wind. Lin Yuan, who was standing in the Hehuan Hall, looked at Concubine Jing with a ruddy face and a happy face sitting above, and she was not happy at all.

The person in power has changed from Empress Xiao to Concubine Jing, which does her no good at all.

This is also the reason why she refused to make a move on Queen Xiao in the first place. She is just a concubine, and there is a group of noble concubines and nine concubines on top, even if Queen Xiao falls and dies, it is impossible for the palace power to fall on her head.

At this time, Concubine Jing seemed to have adapted to sitting in a high position and watching the people below bow three times and bow nine times. She swept her eyes, her gaze fell on Lin Yuan, and she said with a smile: "Why is Concubine Hui still standing?" Someone came, and quickly helped Hui Concubine to sit down. You've had a belly for five months, so you're going to have to take care of it. ”

Lin Yuan slowly looked up at Concubine Jing and replied with a smile: "Concubine knows, Concubine Xie Jingniang's teachings." ”

Whose hand it was to kill Empress Xiao who was involved in the poisoning of Changle Palace, Lin Yuan didn't have to guess to know. That key person, Xiao Dengzi, was not found to be involved with the Xu family "by accident" at all, and he confessed to the queen and the Xie family "accidentally", he is afraid that it was arranged from the beginning.

Look at the current situation - after the queen was grounded, who benefited the most from it? Looking at this harem, who can dare to frame Queen Xiao in the matter of Changle Palace?

It's not Concubine Jing yet.

Lin Yuan was a little surprised, Concubine Jing was more capable than she imagined, she didn't move much, she just leaked out the personal relationship between the queen and the Xu family. But this succeeded in arousing the emperor's suspicions.

It's just that I pity Xie Shi, who was just a victim from beginning to end. Her existence is the bridge between the Xu, the queen, and Xiao Dengzi, and Concubine Jing used her as a clue to burn the fire to the queen.

A hint of annoyance flashed across Concubine Jing's properly decorated face. Looking at this concubine who was willing to come over to say goodbye to her on the last day, she felt unhappy, but she couldn't do it again.

Although the scenery is unique after winning the palace power, Hui Concubine is the emperor's favorite, even when Empress Xiao was in power, she was not able to bargain for her. Concubine Jing can see that this concubine is the hardest nail in the palace, and it is best not to have a hard fight with her until she is completely sure.

So he suppressed his displeasure, and gossiped with the concubines about clothes and jewelry as before.

The concubines all smiled kindly, the case of Changle Palace had reached this point, it was really going to end, and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Empress Xiao is all involved, I'm afraid it won't be more involved, right? Then the whole harem will be washed in blood.

And looking at the current situation, after Concubine Jing took power, their lives were at least better than before. Although Empress Xiao is wise and generous, she has a strong personality and is strict with her subordinates, and the concubines dare not breathe in front of Queen Xiao, and if they accidentally make a small mistake, they will be punished for copying the palace rules. And this Concubine Jing is much more tolerant, first, she is easy-going, and the people under her can be considerate when they make mistakes, and the big things will pass. The second is that Concubine Jing is not as fast as Emperor Xiao's logistics, she feels a little confused about everything, and she is too lazy to teach people in the morning, just talk and laugh.

In this way, Concubine Jing's reputation in the palace is not bad.

suddenly took over the authority, and the concubines had no objections, and she was the new official smoothly.

After Qi Ronghua stewed a big bowl of mutton soup for the concubines to eat, everyone was full of food and drink, and they all saluted Concubine Jing with a smile and retired from Huayang Palace. Lin Yuan yawned, held the palace man's hand and didn't look at Concubine Jing, and said lazily: "I'm tired, hurry, help me go back to make up for sleep." ”

Concubine Jing glanced at her, too lazy to bother with her.

Out of the Hehuan Palace, Chu Xue hurriedly pulled Lin Yuan to a secluded place, and whispered: "Niangniang should respect Concubine Jing Niangniang more, now she is in charge of the harem, Niangniang can't get along with her, aren't you afraid of ...... in the future?"

Lin Yuan glanced at her and said lightly: "What's wrong in the future?" Does she dare to do anything to me? Her father died many years ago, and the family has long since declined, so why should I be jealous of her like Queen Xiao. ”

"Then you can't take Concubine Jing lightly......" Chu Xue was very worried: "Master, although Concubine Jing's mother's family is not as good as the Xiao family, but to put it mildly, no matter how good it is, it is better than us." And Concubine Jing is appreciated by the emperor, and seeing that the future is limitless, let's live in the same palace with Concubine Jing, we don't want to make friends, and we can't offend. ”

"Heh, you're speaking lightly." Lin Yuan looked disdainful: "Wei Mizhuang, do you think that you won't offend her if you are kind and obedient in face?" She is a greedy person and wants more than Queen Xiao. That time she couldn't win me over, I had already offended her, and I was pregnant, which was a thorn in the side of her, a person who had lost a child, so why should I pretend again. What if the emperor likes her? Is it worthy of the emperor's favor for me! ”

Chu Xue saw Lin Yuan like this, and didn't know how to persuade him, so he had to shut up stubbornly.

Lin Yuan looked at her hesitantly, and was amused in her heart, but she didn't bother to explain.

Lowered his body and went to respect Concubine Jing...... Lin Yuan is reluctant to do this, first, she has to be strong, unless she encounters a terrifying stubble like Queen Xiao, she can not bow her head to the people next to her. These two......

She had already seen through the emperor's trick of balancing the harem. Concubine Shen, Concubine Shangguan, and Empress Xiao, died one by one, and lost power. At present, Empress Xiao's grounding is definitely not what the emperor wants to see, but he can't do it, dare to break ground on the head of the Queen Mother, he can't forgive. There is no backbone in the palace, and he can only let Concubine Jing take charge of the six palaces.

It's been five months since Concubine Jing woke up from a serious illness, and her body has almost recovered.

Although Zhao Shuyuan is an assistant, she has always had no authority, and she is a wise and self-protective character, so I am afraid that she can't compete with Concubine Jing. The most ridiculous thing is that Tuoba Hong saw that the situation was about to become unbalanced, so he actually helped Concubine Tian to let her also learn to be in charge of the palace. It is a matter of time before Concubine Tian takes power, but she has only been in the palace for a year and a half now, and her qualifications are not high.

At such a time, if Lin Yuan still came up with a smile and stammered Concubine Jing......

Takubahiro is expected to be.

And he didn't agree with Concubine Jing, but he would just follow Tuoba Hong's wishes.

Lin Yuan knew that his target was the two big bosses of the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and the only thing that mattered was to serve these two well. The rest of the people, no matter how capable they are, don't need to pay attention to them.

"However, what happened to the queen there, she was grounded in Changxin Palace." Lin Yuan held her chin and said in a low voice.

At first, the queen was only found to have a personal relationship with the Xu family, and it was normal for the emperor to be suspicious. But later the emperor searched Changxin Palace, and the final result was that the queen was grounded.

And it's not over yet.

A personal relationship alone would not lead to such serious consequences, and the emperor must have discovered something else.

But what is it? Could it really be that Empress Xiao assassinated Lin Yuan to poison the purple bamboo forest?

Lin Yuan didn't want to care about Changle Palace anymore. She is not Concubine Jing, the power in her hands is not big enough, and she does not have the capital to continue to stir up in this matter.

As for Empress Xiao and Concubine Jing, Lin Yuan lamented in her heart. Her current situation is that she has just come out of the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den. She didn't think Concubine Jing was easier to deal with than the queen at all.
