Chapter 192: The Empress's Ritual

Empress Cao smiled slightly, "The official family is benevolent and tolerant, and will definitely not deal with a little lady." ”

She glanced at Zhang Guifei on the couch with her eyes closed, and sighed.

"What's more, the concubine is auspicious, and she will be fine."

Obviously, Zhao Zhen didn't like Empress Cao to stop him and persuade him in this way, but Empress Cao's words just right to block his anger and make him embarrassed to spread fire on other people's hands again, even if he was the emperor.

No matter how much you love a woman, you can't ignore the general situation.

"Say it." Zhao Guanjia's tone was obviously a little calmer than Fang Cai.

Xin Yi's taut strings loosened slightly, glanced at Empress Cao gratefully, lowered her eyelids and said: "Miss Cao is right, I was also injured on the official boat that day, damaging my internal organs, but I don't hide it from the official family, I haven't recovered yet, Fang Cai was hit by the pig again, and I was in pain......"

Seeing that Zhao Guanjia frowned when she heard this, she paused, and whispered: "I still don't know how long I can live, and I really don't have the ability to guarantee that the concubine will be cured...... Don't hide it from the official, the wound of the internal organs, you can't see or touch, but it's the most difficult to treat, even if I'm cured now, it looks like an ordinary person, but it will leave sequelae......"

"Sequelae?" Zhao Zhen frowned at her, looking and scrutinizing.

Xin Yi nodded, ready to say the ugly words to the front, so as not to let Zhang Guifei die in Huangquan in the future, and she would suffer with it.

Think about it, this emperor will ignore the national body in order to favor the concubine, and when the queen is alive, he will bury Zhang Guifei with the queen's gift, and give her the queen's posthumous title, making a joke about the queen of one country and two queens, you can imagine how painful Zhang Guifei's death is for the emperor.

"But the sage is right, the concubine Ji people have their own heavenly appearance, as long as they survive tonight and can wake up, they will be okay for the time being."

First suppress and then promote.

This trick is that she is often bullied by Fu Jiuqu, and this is what she learned, which can be regarded as an experience of human nature and human hearts.

Zhao Guanjia originally thought that she would say that she would not be able to save Zhang Guifei, but her heart tightened, but she didn't expect it to be a sentence of "no obstacle for the time being", her brows eased up, she breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Xin Yi approvingly.

"Mrs. Zhang is really a goddess doctor. I will reward you for my words! ”

The boulder hanging in Xin Yi's heart finally landed.

"Thank you to the official family, the folk woman just did her duty as a doctor......

Empress Cao glanced at her, and the corners of her lips pursed slightly, "The official's heart, you just need to thank you, don't refuse." ”

"Yes. The people's women thanked the official's family for rewarding. ”

Taking a deep breath, Xin Yi had the illusion of immortality, only to find that his back was wet with sweat.

~

Zhang Guifei never woke up, and the dining room brought food, Xin Yi barely managed to deal with it, and returned to the bed.

The emperor did not withdraw, and others did not dare to leave.

In front of the sickbed in the inner garden, in addition to the palace people who were close to them, several imperial doctors were also guarding outside, and Empress Cao did not leave, and a few concubines were guarding the outer room with sad faces, waiting for the good news of Concubine Zhang Guifei.

Xin Yi was also injured on his waist, he was sleepy and uncomfortable, and he was about to find an excuse to go down to rest, when he saw Yang Huaimin, Zhang Guifei's chamberlain, walk in.

He glanced at Xin Yi deeply, walked in front of Zhao Guan's family, and saluted.

"Official, there's news."

Zhao Zhen raised his eyes, "Who did it?" ”

Yang Huaimin didn't raise his head, and his voice was very heavy.

"It's the big girl Cao from Da Cao Mansion."

What? Xin Yi was stunned and raised his head.

I saw Empress Cao, who was sitting on one side, her face changed almost instantly, and she asked Yang Huaimin in disbelief, "Is there any evidence for Gonggong Yang's words?" ”

Yang Huaimin glanced at the anger on Zhao Guanjia's face, and said slowly.

"Don't worry, sage, this is found out by the Imperial City Division, and it is not a small beard. However, I heard that Miss Cao didn't originally want to harm our lady, but wanted to take revenge on Miss Zhang......"

He downplayed Cao Yilan's dissatisfaction with Xin Yi, and said meaningfully: "Pity our lady, she almost ...... because of this He lost his life. ”

In the end, he choked in his throat, looking like mourning? The appearance of the woman.

"Impossible! Lan'er wouldn't be so ignorant. Empress Cao said coldly and looked at Zhao Zhen, "Please take a look at the official family." ”

Zhao Guanjia smiled coldly, pointed at her nose and scolded.

"You're still going to argue for that scourge? Your Cao family has always acted arrogantly and has no scruples. Especially this Cao Yilan, relying on the support of your aunt, she recruits cats and dogs on weekdays, and acts nonsense...... Without any scruples, what else can't she do? ”

Speaking of anger, Zhao Zhen got up angrily, and accused with an angry look: "Usually, I look at your face and don't care about her. I don't think that she was so bold and reckless, she actually killed people and set fire to me in the inner garden, destroyed the silkworm ceremony, and made the Great Song lose face in front of foreign envoys, it is really ...... Outrageous! ”

"Official!" Empress Cao frowned and said softly: "This matter has not yet been settled, so it's better not to make an assertion so early." ”

"Huh, what is the truth?" Zhao Guanjia looked at his queen coldly, and there was a faint jump of anger and disgust in his eyes, "Your own family, others don't know their hearts, don't you know?" If you weren't used to it, how would she dare to do this? Queen, I have always respected you a little, thinking that you can take on the responsibility of the mother of the country and strictly control your family, but you ...... What a disappointment for me. ”

The queen of a country was reprimanded by the emperor in front of her subordinates, and she was very embarrassed.

The Zhao family obviously did not save face for Empress Cao.

Normally, he wouldn't.

Today it was Zhang Guifei's injury that stimulated him.

Empress Cao knew this very well in her heart.

It is precisely because it is clear that it is even more uncomfortable.

"Really?" She looked at Zhao Zhen calmly, the corners of her lips moved, and it took a long time before she laughed out loud, "Did the official family just disappoint me today?" I'm afraid not, right? Since the day I entered the palace, the official family has never expected anything from me, so why is there disappointment? ”

"What do you say? Bastard thing! Zhao Zhen glared at Empress Cao angrily, and said coldly: "I originally wanted to leave some dignity for the queen, but you are so disrespectful and disrespectful, even so, don't blame me for being ruthlessβ€”β€”"

As soon as his voice fell, he turned his head and said in a deep voice: "Come on, go and take the scourge that destroys the pro-silkworm ceremony, does not know respect and humility, and does not know shamelessness to Daqing Gate, and has a hundred hip canes in public, so as to set an example......."

"Official!" Empress Cao finally stood up from her position and stared at Zhao Zhen with a cold face, "A daughter's body, if she is a hip cane in public, how can she have the face to live?" ”

"Humph! Then let her die. Zhao Zhen was angry, and his speech was very gloomy, "lest she want to die or live again, and harm my nephew......"

Empress Cao looked at him motionlessly, her voice was light and calm, and she spoke very slowly.

"Good. If the official family insists on this, then take me to Daqing Gate first, and be punished together with Lan'er, and be punished with a cane in public, right? ”

The dignified queen, how can she be tortured?

Zhao Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Empress Cao coldly.

"Are you forcing the Queen?"

Boom!

After a bang, it fell like a thousand pounds of boulders.

The palace man hung his head deeply, silent.

Xin Yi also held his breath, having the illusion of witnessing history.

She didn't expect that Queen Cao, who had always been flexible and gentle, would be so rigid today, and she threw the soft nail back without waiting for Zhao Zhen's voice to fall.

"The official family says that they want to be decent, but they don't care about what they do. The concubine's family formed a party for personal gain, accepted bribes, the official family turned a blind eye, the cousin of the concubine bullied others, rampant and domineering, the files involved in his case in Kaifeng Mansion were about to pile up, but the official family never blamed, the concubine was spoiled, and bullied other sisters in the palace, the official family said that she was naΓ―ve, more and more pampered, and let the rumors go viral, but still insisted on breaking the convention for her......"

Ding.

Empress Cao suddenly stepped forward, picked up the golden scissors placed in the tray on one side, and looked at Zhao Zhen.

"The silkworm ceremony, the queen holds the gold scissors, the concubines hold the silver scissors, and the women hold the iron scissors...... But the noble concubine relied on the favor of the official family, unscrupulous, and used gold scissors in disregard of etiquette, where did she put my face as a queen? ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned.

looked at the golden scissors, looked sideways at Yang Huaimin, and did not speak.

Empress Cao sneered, "The official family doesn't have to rush to find someone to be held accountable, where the concubine violates the etiquette system, how can there be more than a pair of scissors?" ”

With a ding, she threw the golden scissors back to the tray and looked at Zhao Zhen coldly.

"What the official family wants to give her is not the queen's etiquette, but the queen's identity."

Zhao Zhen frowned, and was about to speak, when he saw Empress Cao step forward and bow deeply to her.

"In this case, please abolish my queen's throne and let me return to my original home. As for the Cao family, from the beginning of his grandfather's founding of the country with Taizu, the destruction of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the attack on Hou Shu, the conquest of the Northern Han Dynasty, and the invasion of the Liao State, a loyal martyr, not killing in vain, even if he is a general, he has never been protected by nepotism, and he is worthy of the Great Song Dynasty and the people of the world......"
