Xu Jing thought for a moment and nodded: "But this matter is finalized." Tomorrow in the court, I will pass you into the palace, and then I will follow these words. ”

"What if the officials present are unwilling? At present, there is chaos inside and outside, but I am afraid that the group of adults may not be willing to meddle in the affairs of the toe. ”

Zhu looked at Xu Jing with some concern and asked.

"It's okay, I have the ability to convince you to wait for this."

Xu Jing said firmly.

Now he is no longer the crown prince Xu Jing a few months ago.

It's the new emperor Xu Jing, who almost controls the entire Daqian! Without the resistance of Xiao Daoling and other traitors, who else would dare to hinder Xu Jing's footsteps?

"The beads are here, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu cried with joy and knelt down at Xu Jing.

"No, it's also an exchange of interests. I save Jiaozhi, and Jiaozhi gives me what I want. ”

Xu Jing picked up the bead and said lightly.

Zhuzhu's expression was a little gloomy, and he secretly glanced at Xu Jing and stopped talking.

She didn't know if the exchange of benefits Xu Jing said included her own bedtime.

"What? What I said doesn't include the matter of sleeping. The matter of sleeping is where my interest lies. ”

Xu Jing kept rubbing his hand around the beads and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhu turned her face sideways in shyness and whispered in protest.

"Okay, let's change our clothes, and I'll take you around the palace."

Xu Jingyi waved his hand and said loudly.

Concubine Xiao was the happiest, which meant that she would be able to see her sister again!

The two nodded again and again, and after getting up and changing into a dragon robe for Xu Jing, they also changed into a costume.

It's just that both of them are dressed, and the East Palace has already prepared the clothes of the prince and concubine, instead of the original clothes.

"Sister Xiao, how big is this Great Qian Palace?"

The first time he walked into the palace, Zhu Zhu was quite curious, looking at this palace that was far more than ten times larger than the Jiaozhi Palace, and asked Concubine Xiao on one side.

"Silly sister, who cares about this? Although my sister has been in the palace all the year round, she may not have many opportunities to move around at will. ”

"You ask my sister, why don't you ask Grandpa Cao? He is an old eunuch who has followed His Majesty in the palace for decades. ”

Concubine Xiao took Zhuzhu's hand and said with a smile.

"Can Grandpa Cao tell me?"

Zhu looked at Gonggong Cao curiously and asked.

"The servants don't know how big it is, this palace was built by the previous dynasty. After the establishment of the Great Cadre, it was constantly expanding. ”

"If you really want to talk about it, there are about one hundred and eight palaces and seventy-two palaces, if you are an ordinary person who doesn't know the way, you may not be able to find a way out of the palace if you walk here for a day."

Gonggong Cao explained to Zhuzhu with a smile.

"So big?"

Her eyes widened, and her mouth opened slightly, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

"What's the use of being big? The palace is not a good place to go, there are so many palaces, and there are countless nobles and low-grade concubines. ”

"There are almost less than 100 people who can see the emperor with their own eyes, and even fewer people who can be favored by the emperor. If the slave had a daughter, he would definitely not let him enter the palace. ”

"In places like this, the dead are almost more common than the living."

Father-in-law Cao chattered, like a kind old man.

"Grandpa Cao, there are a lot of words today."

Xu Jing squinted his eyes and glanced at Gonggong Cao, and said calmly.

Father-in-law Cao suddenly understood that what he said seemed to be a little too shocking.

"I'm sorry, the minion is slapping his mouth."

Grandpa Cao smiled bitterly and bowed his head to apologize.

"No, don't talk like that in front of outsiders in the future. It is fine to discuss such words in front of me, but it is not good for them to fall into the ears of outsiders. ”

Xu Jing waved his hand and said lightly.

At this moment, the smile on Concubine Xiao's face had long since disappeared.

What Father-in-law Cao said, every word went straight to her heart.

As Gonggong Cao said, which family would like to send their own flesh and blood into this kind of ghost place that eats people and does not spit out bones?

Only those who fight for power and profit will want to let their daughters enter the palace.

In the past, Concubine Xiao had been using the palace to enter the palace just to paralyze herself for a better future for the Xiao family.

But in the end, after he was killed, no one in the Xiao family asked for his body, and no one talked about it.

It's as if her death was a natural surprise.

As for the sister, it is even more miserable, since she was under house arrest in the palace, no one from the Xiao family has come to inquire.

It was as if the two daughters were dead.

"Here we are."

While Concubine Xiao was thinking, the chariot had stopped.

Xu Jing lifted the corner of the curtain, but saw that the main hall of Cining Palace was close at hand.

"Tell everyone to go down and let everyone go."

Xu Jingchong Cao Gong said openly.

"Do you want me to come with you?"

Xu Jing looked at Concubine Xiao beside him and asked.

Concubine Xiao shook her head and said coldly: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, the concubines have their own ways in this matter." Don't bother Your Majesty. ”

"I am outside the temple, if there is any objection, just shout."

Xu Jing nodded to appease Concubine Xiao.

After all the eunuchs and maids outside the palace were withdrawn, Concubine Xiao cautiously got out of the chariot and walked straight to the main hall of Cining Palace.

"What? And what are you doing? Could it be that you have to force this palace to death to be satisfied? ”

Concubine Xiao hesitated for a moment, and finally pushed open the door of the hall and walked in.

In the hall, a cold voice suddenly sounded.

Obviously, Xiao Hanshuang mistakenly thought that it was Xu Jing who walked into the hall.

"Sister?"

Concubine Xiao approached and looked at Xiao Hanshuang, who was dressed in plain clothes and was not wearing powder, sitting in the bedroom with a cold face.

She couldn't help but whisper.

Xiao Hanshuang raised his head violently and stared at Concubine Xiao who made a sound.

After a long time, Xiao Hanshuang spoke again: "You're not dead?" ”

"No, I haven't reported to my sister for many days, and I ask for forgiveness."

Concubine Xiao said in a low voice.

"It's okay if there's nothing to do, why did you come here today?"

Xiao Hanshuang's voice trembled, pretending to be indifferent.

She had already guessed that Concubine Xiao was only afraid that she was already on Xu Jing's side, and this time she came probably to persuade herself not to go against Xu Jing again.

"Sister, my father is seriously ill and bedridden. The elder brother was seriously injured in the war, and his condition is now unknown. ”

Concubine Xiao sighed slightly and informed her of the latest news.

"What do you do with this palace? This palace is just a little bit of a waste, so what can you do if you know this? In this small Cining Palace, the palace can't speak. ”

"Even if the Xiao family is dead, what does it have to do with this palace?"

The corners of Xiao Hanshuang's mouth sneered, and she looked at Concubine Xiao sadly.

"Why should my sister be obsessed? Just bow your head to Your Majesty and admit your mistakes, and Your Majesty will definitely spare Sister Once. ”

"In the future, my sister An An will be able to sit firmly as the queen mother and enjoy all the glory and wealth."

Concubine Xiao looked at Xiao Hanshuang excitedly and asked.

"The Empress Dowager? It sounds good, but it's not the same to be trapped in this palace? ”

"What this palace wants is the mother of the world! It's to listen to politics! This palace wants to be the first female son of heaven! ”

"What's the difference between a mere queen mother and a dog wagging her tail and begging for mercy?"

Xiao Hanshuang sneered, tilted her head to look at Concubine Xiao and asked.

At this moment, Xiao Hanshuang's face was full of arrogance, like a cultivator who had gone mad.
