When the palace and the palace were in full swing to discuss the choice of the new monarch, the harem.

In the lavishly furnished palace room, the brocade curtain hangs low, and the sobbing sound is subtle but distinct.

"So far, there is no letter in front of us, maybe things will turn around? Don't cry! The henchman maid who accompanied her into the palace twisted the handkerchief, half-knelt on the side of the couch, and whispered words of consolation, "What should I do if I cry badly?" ”

"I wish I could just cry to death!" He Xiuyi lay on the hidden sac, kicked his feet wildly, kicked his feet "bang", and shouted fiercely, "It's better than being sent to the palace to be bullied by that pickled minion, and it's better to live a pig and a dog!" ”

I can't complain that she has the idea of death: after the newcomers dressed up neatly yesterday, they happily followed the queen to congratulate the queen mother - the reason for the joy is because they are all daughters of official families, and the mother and sister-in-law in the family are probably qualified to enter the palace to congratulate the queen mother on her birthday, although on such an occasion, the protagonist must be the queen mother, and it is impossible for them to tell each other about their recent situation, so they can also say a few words?

As a result, the family saw it yesterday, and whoever wanted to follow happened that Lu Hehao broke into the palace and exposed the father of Emperor Duanhua Naiqing!

This is already a bolt from the blue, but the news that came later, the emperor confessed to King Qing in public, proving that what Lu Hehao said was true!

Who doesn't know that Emperor Duanhua's future is bright!

According to the rules of this dynasty, once something happens to the emperor, the childless concubines have to go to the palace and wait for death!

He Xiuyi: It's only been a few days since they entered the palace?

It's been less than three months now!

This palace can be said to be decided - after all, not everyone has the luck of Concubine Nuan, and only after arriving at the palace did they find out that they were pregnant!

What's more, the origin of Concubine Nuan's pregnancy has been revealed, and now her fate is worse than waiting for death in the palace!

Before He Xiuyi entered the palace, she was the granddaughter of He Wenqiong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the daughter who was pampered since childhood, after entering the palace, due to the situation, she was deeply favored by Emperor Duanhua - even after Empress Wei returned to favor, she did not embarrass her because of her identity.

It can be said that before last night, she had never suffered and been wronged.

As a result, he was about to be knocked into the abyss in a blink of an eye, how could He Xiuyi not be sad from it?

The most terrible thing is that Emperor Duanhua is not about to die now, but is facing the danger of being deposed - if he dies, He Xiuyi and others can still keep the identity of the concubine and concubine, although this has made He Xiuyi feel unacceptable; But if Emperor Duanhua is deposed, no matter whether he lives or dies, He Xiuyi and others are the concubines of the abolished emperor, then the situation and status simply don't know what kind of embarrassing method to do!

I don't even have a face with my mother!

The more He Xiuyi thought about it, the more she felt that there was nothing to love, if it weren't for the faint expectation in her heart, she really couldn't wait to go to the dressing table now and get gold scissors to wring her heart, forget it!

And He Xiuyi is already the best among this group of newcomers, like Xue Concubine, Zhong Meiren and Jiang Cairen, who have simply not been favored until now. said that it was the harem concubine, and after entering the palace, she lived in trembling, and now she has to accompany the tragedy of Emperor Duanhua, not to mention the grievances and unwillingness!

It's just that now the nobles of the harem are too busy to take care of themselves, and no one cares about the life or death of these people - not to mention that since ancient times, when has the crying been interrupted in the deep palace?

"How could I be so miserable?" However, not all newcomers are like He Xiuyi, in addition to crying, they are ready to seek death, after Xue Concubine hugged her head and cried with the maid who accompanied her into the palace, she quickly closed her voice and said hatefully, "When I was at home, my father and mother favored my younger brother and regarded me as dispensable!" It's easy to catch up with the queen falling out of favor, and I don't have the ambition to win the position of the middle palace, I only think that Your Majesty is still in the prime of life, and there are not many favorites in the palace. Who wants to enter the palace until now, Your Majesty has come to Qibao Palace so many times, and the He family and the Tian family take turns to accept the favor, I ...... I'm a transparent person! ”

"It's been laughing at me like this all these days, inside and out, when I don't know?"

Xue Concubine became more and more angry, "Before Lu Hehao broke into the banquet yesterday, I couldn't hear what my mother and grandmother said to me in private—they actually felt that His Majesty had never been fortunate to me, because I was not virtuous and considerate enough!" I don't want to think about He Xiuyi, who has pressed us everywhere since the time of selection, is it because of her own talent and ability?! It's not like there's a good mother's home! The Xue family is not angry, but they will blame me! ”

Originally, Concubine Xue looked like Cui Jianpi, her appearance was pretty, and her temperament was also a strong one.

It's just that the Xue family is not as accustomed to daughters as the Cui family, but attaches more importance to male heirs. Although she didn't deliberately harsh her because of this, Xue Concubine was sensitive and had this concern since she was a child, so when Emperor Chuduanhua ordered the selection, when Xue Concubine was first selected, she secretly swore in her heart that she would enter the palace and walk out of a green cloud road, so that she could raise her eyebrows and let her family know that her daughter could also shine on the lintel!

Who knows that the ambition is very ambitious, and the reality is very sad - Emperor Duanhua simply ignores her!

For this situation, Xue Concubine was puzzled at first, and then she was panicked, but then resentment gradually grew in her heart!

The lintel of the Xue family is not high, and Concubine Xue is a few years younger than Cui Jianlian - at this time, the girl is four or five years old, and she is half a generation behind - so she doesn't know that her appearance and demeanor are the same as Cui Jianlian.

And other people who know, such as Empress Dowager Su and He Xiuyi, of course they will not tell her specifically.

It is because Xue Concubine feels that her appearance and demeanor may not be how to cultivate her manners, although her family background is indeed not comparable, but it is higher than Tian Baolin, Zhong Beauty, Jiang Cairen and others below!

Why did the emperor treat her as a transparent person again and again, and put her in a predicament that was ridiculed?!

Such an idea has been brewing in Xue Concubine's heart for a day or two, in the past, she dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, but at this moment she was extremely sad and angry, and she couldn't help but rush and say, "Since Your Majesty has always turned a blind eye to me, now it's not good, the queen is his wife, the prince is his son, He Xiuyi Tian Baolin has served him well, these people are unlucky to follow him, why should they be involved with me?!" ”

"Master, don't say that!" The maid was taken aback by these words, and hurriedly reassured, "If this word spreads, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will blame it, how can we afford it?!" ”

In fact, the emperor doesn't have to worry about it, He Xiuyi, who lives in the main hall, is enough to clean up Concubine Xue!

Xue Concubine is not a person who doesn't know the severity, but she lost her mouth because she was too angry, and at this moment, she stopped at the persuasion of the maid - but how could the emotions in her heart be calm?

Of course, she can't do much now but complain.

People who can do what they can do now actually don't have a good time.

Xuanming Palace.

Dormitory.

After a fierce ideological battle, Emperor Duanhua finally became depressed and agreed to Empress Wei's request: "You go out and call someone to gather the ministers, and let the prince come too, I ...... I will give an edict! ”

The emperor, of course, was unwilling!

He is still young, he has been on the throne for less than three years, and King Su is about to be ambushed - he didn't think that King Su had not yet arrived in the imperial capital, but he himself planted it first!

His life's ambitions have not yet been realized, but he has already given up the world to the young prince, who can be calm?

If it was really his greed for beauty that made a big mistake, it would be fine.

But Emperor Duanhua knows his own family affairs, and he doesn't have any rude behavior towards Concubine Nuan in his memory, okay?

It's a complete conspiracy!

However, he was powerless.

"I have a request." Although he knew that this was impossible, Emperor Duanhua couldn't help but say when he looked at Empress Wei's smile that bloomed for a moment, "After the crown prince ascends the throne, be sure to find out how Lu Hehao calculated——"

"It's nature!" Empress Wei agreed without hesitation, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the concubine will never spare Lu Hehao!" ”

Although the emperor is not deep, he is not a fool, where can he not hear it, the queen's perfunctory words?

His request was to find out the truth about his pit, but the queen's promise was to kill Lu Hehao - it sounds like a promise to be angry for the emperor, however, how could Empress Wei really return the emperor's innocence?

can't say it's innocent, after all, King Qing is the son of Emperor Duanhua, and it was proved in public, and Emperor Duanhua can't be innocent.

It's just that if it can be proved that Emperor Duanhua himself did not mean to insult his biological father and concubine, he would give birth to King Qing purely after being cheated - although it is not enough to make Emperor Duanhua completely whitewashed, it can also save him a lot of situations!

In that case, even if Emperor Duanhua becomes the emperor, it is not impossible to take back power from his son and empty his son!

How could Empress Wei give him such an opportunity?

Therefore, even if the queen finds out the details of Lu Hehao's pit Duanhua Emperor, she will hide it to the end, so that this stain will always follow Duanhua Emperor and ensure the status of their mother and son!

It's just that Emperor Duanhua has any other options now?

As Empress Wei said, it is impossible for him to keep his throne.

The new monarch is the crown prince, so he has the love of father and son, and the disgraced Duanhua Emperor will not be able to threaten the prince in the future, so he can live the rest of his life with fine clothes and food;

If the new king is someone else, who can tolerate him?

When the time comes, not only will he not be able to get along with the queen and the concubines, but it will also be difficult for the one son and two daughters under his knees to survive - so that the whole team will be cut off!

"There you go!" Emperor Duanhua pressed his complicated emotions and sighed behind the scenes, "I will change my clothes and go to the main hall!" ”

Empress Wei held back her joy and excitement, blessed a blessing, and was about to retire, but she didn't expect that the heavy curtain behind her was suddenly lifted, and an attendant rushed in, almost threw herself on the ground, and said with a crying voice: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, something is wrong!" ”

"Lu Hehao, a servant, just finished meeting the Empress Dowager before he left Mingren Palace, and was assassinated by the chamberlain - the chamberlain is Zhu Chunyang, who is waiting in front of His Majesty!"

"What did you say?!" The emperor and queen were shocked at the same time!
