130. There is no blood in murder
Seeing that Shen Ci was so anxious that she was about to cry, Xiao Tuotuo couldn't bear it, so he gave her a trick.
[Although the homecoming pill is gone, if the host wants to save your puppy, it is not impossible. 】
[The convenience store has an animal soul replacement machine, and if you replace the soul of livestock with a person, you only need 100 points~]
[And this kind of thing?] Shen Ciwei immediately rekindled his hope, [Then you can help me redeem it!] 】
[Don't worry, host, I have to explain the rules to you first. Because the function of the human and animal soul replacement machine is too powerful, and it is somewhat inhumane to exchange the souls of humans and animals, the Time and Space Administration stipulates that only the souls of animals can be exchanged for people who are about to die, so that it does not violate the regulations. In other words, if the host really wants to use the soul replacement machine to exchange the soul of the puppy from modern times to ancient times, it must first find a person who is about to die. 】
Shen Ci couldn't get out of the palace, and if he wanted to find a suitable candidate, he could only find it in the palace.
Now it's time to go to the queen to say goodbye, and this matter has to be put on hold for the time being, thinking that after dealing with the queen, she will look for a candidate for Lucky.
The bitter cold in December was extreme, and the concubines rushed all the way to Fengluan Palace, and the tips of their noses were red from the cold.
Even more pitiful are the concubines below the nobles.
They were not allowed to enter the main hall to greet the queen, so they could only stand in the courtyard when they asked for peace.
When Shen Ciwu crossed them into the temple, he heard two people muttering in small voices:
"Usually at this time, the queen mother is exempt from asking for peace, but this year she didn't even mention this matter?"
"Didn't you say? Look at my hands, they're all frostbitten. ”
The Queen's intentions in doing so could not be more obvious.
Now that Concubine Xi has the power to take charge of the affairs of the Six Palaces, it is equivalent to Li Mobai hollowing her out as the queen.
Now the only thing that can show her dignity as a queen is probably the moment when she is in the first place when the concubines ask for peace, and everyone pays their respects.
Today, when I asked for peace, Concubine Xi was 'bold and bold', and brought up the matter lightly, "When I came in a hurry, I saw that the surface of the Yuhu Lake was frozen, and the weather was extremely cold this year, and the concubines heard that many of the minions who couldn't use firewood in Xinzhiku were frozen to death, and some of them froze to death. ”
She bent her eyebrows and eyes at the queen, and said with a light smile: "The concubine thinks that no matter how cheap the life of a slave is, it is also a life, and it is unfortunate to die in the palace." So he asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to allocate ten stones of coarse charcoal to Xin Zheku, and it was a royal gift to barely burn it, and they were more diligent in their work. ”
The queen said: "This palace does this every year, why does Concubine Xi only remember it now?" ”
"Yes, the concubines were in charge of the affairs of the six palaces at the beginning, and many things were not as handy as the queen's mother. It's just that at this time in previous years, due to the cold weather, the queen mother has been exempted from the six palaces. This year, the queen mother was not exempted, but because the concubine did not speak? ”
Concubine Xi looked at the pile of 'frozen beauties' standing in the courtyard, and said with pity: "It is said that everyone is serving the emperor, where can I bear to let my sisters suffer like this?" According to the meaning of the concubines, tomorrow's six palaces can also rest. ”
The queen sank down, and said with dissatisfaction: "Concubine Xi, the emperor gave you the right to take charge of the affairs of the six palaces, but it is the ancestral rule for the concubine to ask the queen for peace, no matter how great your power is, as long as the palace does not speak, you are just a concubine." How can you go beyond the main palace and make the master for the main palace? ”
"The queen mother is serious, how can the concubine be your lord? The concubines are just distressed by the sisters. Since the queen mother did not allow it, the concubines had to go back to the emperor and listen to what the emperor had to say. ”
The queen slapped the case angrily and scolded: "Are you using the emperor to press the palace?" ”
The queen was angry, and all the concubines got up and bent their knees, and said in unison: "The queen is angry." ”
Only Concubine Xi sat firmly, took a cup and took a sip of fragrant tea, and said slowly: "Justice is in the hearts of the people, why should the queen be angry?" ”
"What you say is fair and comfortable in the hearts of the people, which means that all the concubines don't want to ask for peace in the palace from the bottom of their hearts, right?" The queen waved her sleeves and asked the concubines: "You, if you don't want to ask for peace in the palace, you can say it directly." You don't have to come to Fengluan Palace tomorrow. ”
Who would dare to stand up at this time?
After waiting for a long time to see that no one answered, the queen smiled and said in a fixed voice: "Concubine Xi has seen it, it seems that you are too worried." You've only been in power for a few days, and you think you can figure out the thoughts of your concubine? ”
Concubine Xi also smiled wantonly, "The concubine just proposed, since everyone doesn't feel cold, then the concubine will accompany everyone to come every day." Anyway, the concubine has a four-fold sedan chair, and there is a charcoal basin burning in the sedan chair, and she is holding a soup woman in her palm, which is naturally not cold. ”
Listening to the two of them, Shen Ciwu could only secretly sigh that this Xi Guifei was definitely not a big-chested and brainless person.
She first proposed to let the concubine stop and ask for peace, and if the queen agreed, then everyone would only record this gift on her head.
If the queen doesn't agree, then everyone's private resentment towards the queen will only increase.
In any case, she is the one who earns.
Compared with the battle with open swords and guns on the battlefield, the harem kills people in the invisible battle of words, which makes people feel more chilling.
On the way back to the palace from Fengluan Palace, I saw a concubine's sedan chair parked not far ahead, and a small eunuch kneeling in front of the sedan chair was constantly kowtowing in the snow.
Shen Ci walked forward slowly, and saw that the little eunuch was very delicate, but the panic and panic on his face did not match his appearance.
"Concubine Hui spares her life, the slave knows that she is wrong!"
Hua Cui stepped forward and kicked him, scolding: "The road is slippery on a snowy day, and you dare to come out with your hooves and eyes, and startle Concubine Hui's driver!" If this earthquake hurts the mother, be careful of your head! ”
The little eunuch hurriedly explained: "It's the minion's fault, everything is the minion's fault!" Gonggong Luo asked the slave to go to Yong'an Palace to repair the paint on the table for Shen Guiren, and the slave was worried about the errand, so he accidentally bumped into the mother. ”
It just so happened that at this time, Hua Cui saw Shen Ci worrying in the crowd, so she said in a tone: "The errand of Yong'an Palace is the first most important errand, so you just care about serving Shen Guiren, and there is no one else in your eyes?" ”
"Slaves don't dare, minions don't dare ......"
"What's the fuss." Concubine Hui lifted the sedan curtain, first glanced at Shen Ciwu, and then turned her gaze to the little eunuch.
Shen Ciwu saw it so seriously, she was fine at all when she fell into the sedan chair, but she suddenly covered her ankle and shouted in pain, "A dead minion, you dare to hurt this palace without long eyes!" Hua Cui, what are you talking nonsense about him? Hurry up and let people drag him down and beat him to death, don't annoy Erbengong here! ”
