Chapter Twenty-Four: To Each His Heart

In the quiet of the night, the dappled shadows of the trees are reflected in the carved window lattices made of bright paper.

Under the bright candlelight, a shadow was reflected in the diamond mirror in front of him.

The Empress Dowager Gu changed out of the palace clothes that Shicai wore in the Yongle Palace, removed the complicated bun, stroked the new white hair on the sideburns with her slender fingertips, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly as if she didn't care.

People who are about to turn over half a hundred years old, the years have treated her favorably, but the years will not favor her for a lifetime, if she can't seize the opportunity she should seize, I'm afraid that she will regret it for the rest of her life!

neatly plucked off the white hair, and Roufu, who was beside him, took the black hair cream next to the makeup, and carefully wiped it for her before speaking.

"The Queen Mother already knew what Concubine Min had done, why did she help her cover it up today? Let Su Hao arrest the evidence early in the morning, and it will be over if Concubine Min is gone, and then the eldest prince will come over and raise him by your side, and the emperor will not want to! ā€

Today, Su Hao couldn't find any evidence, but in fact, the Queen Mother did something in it. Concubine Min has never been a careful person, as early as when Tingxiang beside her always appeared in the abandoned courtyard, the people around the Queen Mother had already stared at her, there was no impermeable wall in the palace, and why bother that the little eunuch was afraid of death, just scared slightly, so the ins and outs of the matter were clear.

But the Queen Mother is still willing to urge Concubine Min to do what she wants to do, and even pave the way for her to get rid of her guilt, she has another plan in her heart!

The boy had already remembered, if he didn't let him see his mother rejected by his father and helpless, how could he let him go to the mourning family wholeheartedly in the future. If he wants to be used by the mourning family, he must make it clear that the only thing he can rely on in this harem is the mourning family, and without the mourning family, he will only be a lonely child who even the eunuch and mother are unwilling to pay attention to! ā€

The ivory comb gently slid over the black silk on her head, and the Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, responding to the question in Roufu's heart in an extremely thin tone!

After hearing this, Roufu's heart sank and he was a little sad. This harem can't live if it doesn't calculate, and the concubines and concubines calculate each other as favors and powers, and now as a grandmother, she has a long sigh and asks again with the corners of her mouth. "The Queen Mother really plans to agree to the Eighth Emperor's suggestion? But he is a wolf with ambitions, otherwise he would not let the first emperor fall to the far border, and seal an idle prince and let him fend for himself! ā€

As the years go, Roufu wants to live a comfortable life more and more, when he was young, he was nervous and restless and experienced too much, and finally accompanied the woman around him to sit in the current position, she only hopes to be able to live in peace and stability, I really don't want to go through those days again, too bitter and too tired, no longer have the energy of my youth, and I don't want to work anymore!

"The Eighth Emperor is a tiger, but the mourning family is not jealous!" The Queen Mother knew what Roufu meant, and after reaching out and holding Roufu's hand, she seemed to comfort her, "In the past, you suffered a lot of sins with the Mourning family, and the Mourning family also hoped to be able to live a stable life, but over the years, the emperor was too fast in the previous dynasty, and the Gu clan was almost out of place, and he knew that thing, since that year he knew about it, he no longer had the previous intimacy with the Mourning family, and some were just alienated and defensive, his mind was too deep, I was really not sure, instead of sitting and waiting to die, the Mourning family wanted to fight again, for the Gu family, Fight for Tao Yao one last time! ā€

"But the emperor doesn't look at it like a thin heart, no matter how the mother-son relationship for more than 20 years is not fake, he is also very kind to the eldest princess, these years there is a good one in the palace, there is always a copy that will be sent to the eldest princess's mansion, why should the queen mother always pull the knot in her heart, not let go of herself and not let go of the emperor, ignoring his filial piety!"

Roufu covered the other hand and tried to pass the warmth of the palm to the woman who looked lonely in the candlelight, she tried countless times to untie the knot in the heart of the queen mother, but always failed countless times, these years of court life, so that this woman lost confidence in the word trust, she only thought in her heart, unwilling to open the door of her heart in a different way, and the obsession in her heart fell deeper and deeper!

Roufu is really afraid that one day, the Queen Mother will let the demons devour her, and the day when the mechanism is exhausted, she will only lose her own life!

In her opinion, the Gu family has long been at the end of the strong crossbow, even though she had great merit in supporting the emperor to ascend the throne, but the credit is only attributed to the credit, and the things in the court will always be controlled by the emperor alone, the emperor does not want to let people manipulate himself, and it is expected that others will be restrained everywhere, the queen mother is too much to let go, she can protect the Gu family for a while, but she can't protect the Gu family for a lifetime!

When Roufu secretly thought to herself and frowned, the Queen Mother blew out the candle flame on the dressing table, and after she came back to her senses, she helped her onto the brocade bed of the fish-scale cloud shirt behind her, and waited for her to go to bed.

At the moment when the queen mother closed her eyes, Roufu still did not give up and said again, "Find a day, the queen mother still has a good talk with the emperor openly, the slave maid thinks that our emperor is not a ruthless person, let's tell him everything in the past, he will not be unforgiving, just look at his attitude towards the queen can know!" If it is a last resort, the Queen Mother still doesn't want to be with someone like the Eighth Emperor, the slave feels that he is not reliable! ā€

After all, the road to supporting the young emperor to ascend to the throne is not as simple as they imagined, the eighth emperor lives far away from the border, who knows what kind of mind he has, in addition to excluding the Gu family to establish his own cronies in the past two years, the emperor has done a lot of practical things in the court! She has watched the emperor grow up since she was a child, and if she really wants to attack the emperor, she can't do it!

"The mourning family will think about it, you can go to bed early when the lights are out!" Hearing Roufu say that, the Queen Mother didn't open her eyes, just closed her eyes and nodded, perfunctory.

Roufu sighed in her heart, put down the curtains on both sides and bowed out, the cold moonlight outside the window could not withstand the sadness and fatigue in her heart at the moment!

In the hall of Hande, two shadows sit opposite each other, on the round table carved from ebony, the aroma of rose juice lingers, the fragrance of freshly cooked tea in the charcoal stove enters the corner of the entire inner room, and a pair of plain hands pour the green tea into the sweet white glazed cup, and hand it over to the smiling Li Zhaoyi, Yingying smiled.

"It's really comfortable to see Concubine Min suffer such a big loss today!" Concubine Xian smiled lightly, picked up the cup, and said with a faint smile.

"That's true, although things are a little unexpected, but it's really pleasant to see her end up separated from mother and son. These days, looking at her frivolous appearance, I just want to gag, and now that the eldest prince has gone to Zhangtai Palace, there is no way to start with someone to take care of her, and it is easy to take his life without knowing it. Li Zhaoyi couldn't help but be overjoyed, smelling the refreshing fragrance of tea, she couldn't help but take two more sips, and said happily.

When Concubine Xian heard this, she bowed her head slightly, and sneered, "Don't be afraid of the child who has left her mother, that little calf is also a fierce one, look at the bite he smacked the queen, it's really ruthless!" If he is allowed to ascend the throne in the future, where is there still a place for our sisters in this palace, this palace is still looking forward to a little prince in your belly, so that we can really rely on it in the future! ā€

"It's almost four months now, isn't it?"

It's really not a good thing to kill a child in this harem, there are naturally many children in this harem, and there are naturally many children in this harem, killing one but not killing a group, only with the trump card in his hand can he be regarded as having a real reliance, but unfortunately his body can't be born

Concubine Xian's heart was sad, the sadness in her eyes was fleeting, she put her mind in her belly, and just looked at Li Zhaoyi's stomach with blazing eyes, and said quietly.

Li Zhaoyi saw her eyes fall on her stomach, put her hand on the lower abdomen, which was already slightly convex, and said with a smile, "It's four months in half a month, and I actually felt the fetal movement during the nap a few days ago, and it felt really amazing, but I don't know if he can be a prince as we wish." ā€

The maternal brilliance hidden in the body and mind made Li Zhaoyi accept the anger of the past, and her face was gentle, like a loving mother.

"Even if it's a princess, it doesn't matter, just wait for you to give birth to a child, the position of the fourth concubine will definitely have your share, although the queen is favored these days, but even if she looks good, she is tired of seeing it, and in the future, the rookie enters the palace, your sister is favored, we still have a chance!"

A prince is far more useful than a princess in this harem, even if the prince can't ascend the throne when he is older, he can be crowned king and go to the fiefdom, and his biological mother can go with him, but the princess is not selfish, Li Zhaoyi naturally hopes that the child in her womb is a son, for the future of her son, and for her own future. C≔ MIAOC ≔ BIC ≔ Pavilion C ≔

It's just that she can't say this to Concubine Xian, her status is humble, and she can't compare with the woman in front of her, and now she can only rely on this woman with a glorious family background to protect herself and the child in her womb.

"Sister Furao has passed the re-election, I think it should not be a problem to choose the palace in the future, the concubine is also looking forward to the rookie entering the palace, and the queen's favor is well shared.

Speaking of Wei Qingguan, Li Zhaoyi really hated itchy, angrily tugging at the cup in her hand, a mouthful of silver teeth eager to crush, since Wei Qingguan returned to favor, her status has plummeted, the harem doesn't know how much she suffered, if it weren't for this child in her belly, I really don't know which corner she would be left to.

Now that she thinks about it, she can't be calm!

"Don't worry, when it's time to liquidate, everything will be settled, even if we don't do it, the first one who doesn't let her go should be her own sister, this big drama of sisters and sisters winning favor is enough for us to take a good look" Concubine Xian took a sip of tea in her cup, took a deep breath and spit it out leisurely, and said lightly.

When Li Zhaoyi heard this, she smiled knowingly, "Yes, why did the concubine forget this stubble, and the excitement of this harem is just around the corner!" ā€

"That's nature!" A pair of beautiful eyes sparkled on Gu Pansheng's face, and his vermilion lips were full of cold smiles.
