"Wait!" Seeing that Gonggong Zhao was about to exit the threshold, the emperor suddenly stopped again.

Zhao Gonggong hurriedly came back, waiting for the order, the emperor's face was gloomy, and he muttered for a long time before he said coldly: "You go to pass on my message, go to the acting king's mansion first, and ask the acting king, since you have received my errand, why don't you deal with it quickly? Also, let Luo Pei take office quickly, and no longer delay!"

"Yes, the old slave will do it!" Zhao Gonggong hurriedly bent over in response.

The emperor's face sank like water, and after he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at the candle flame with his back hand.

Seeing that the emperor had no more words, Gonggong Zhao slowly retreated, until he withdrew from the main hall, then turned around and strode out, wiped his sweat, and then changed people to ask, and went to the queen.

"Grandpa Zhao, do you want to go to the queen so late?" Seeing some rain, a little eunuch stepped forward to help put on his robe, and asked cautiously.

Gonggong Zhao glanced coldly: "In the palace, if you want to live longer, you have to learn to shut up when you should shut up." ”

"Yes, yes! The villain has been taught!" said the little eunuch, whose face changed with fright.

Seeing Zhao Gonggong go away, the little eunuch pulled his legs and left, at this time, it was even more night dew, the palace was tortuous, there were roads everywhere, a few steps have dazzled people, detoured a road and entered the side door, ran straight to the palace of Concubine Wei, only walked a few steps, and was suddenly stopped by a team of eunuchs.

"Take it!" the leading eunuch snorted coldly.

"Father-in-law Hong's life ......" The little eunuch's face turned pale with fright, and he wanted to beg for mercy, but the two eunuchs pounced, gagged with a towel, and immediately dragged it down and pressed it on the bench.

"Call us!"

"Hmmmm......" The little eunuch still wanted to struggle, snapped, and beat hard.

"One, two, three"

With the shouts of counting, the thick torture stick fell mercilessly on the waist and leg of the little eunuch, and in just a few strokes, the bright red blood stained the clothes red.

"XVII, XVIII, XIX...... Twenty!"

Ten sticks later, the little eunuch who was still struggling at the beginning was silent at this time, motionless, and blood dripped down his soaked clothes, forming a pool of blood under the bench.

Everyone looked at it coldly, and Hong Gonggong waved his hand: "Stop!"

Someone went up to check the breath, raised his head and said, "The person is gone." ”

"It's good if it's gone, this kind of unruly person is not needed in the palace. Gonggong Hong dropped the tea served by the little eunuch and got up coldly.

He knows that he can't live, the rules of the palace, to give a way to live, is to say the number of rods, this kind of not to say the number is to be killed, the eunuch who tortured him was beaten hard, and the ten sticks were actually out of breath, and then the ten sticks were to prevent death from penetrating.

This has happened in the palace before.

"What did you hear?" On the royal road, Concubine Wei suddenly listened and asked.

Whether it was the palace maid or the eunuch, they all shook their heads: "Niangniang, the slave maid has never heard the voice." ”

That's misheard.

Concubine Wei suppressed the faint uneasiness in her heart and continued to walk towards the queen.

As a palace concubine, according to the rules, she usually goes to the queen in the morning to say hello.

But the queen has exempted the concubine from asking for peace in the morning since more than ten years ago, and has been closed in the palace, not seeing the concubines, and easily not seeing outsiders.

It was only in the past year that things gradually changed.

But the concubine still didn't have to go over to say goodbye, Concubine Wei recalled carefully, she and the queen were afraid that they hadn't met for more than ten years.

In her mind, she was still a middle-aged beauty with a gentle smile more than ten years ago, wearing a phoenix robe, and even her eyes could reveal tenderness, such a woman, who experienced the death of the prince and the prince being punished, what would she become now?

Concubine Wei was a little nervous, especially when she suddenly invited her over, which made her think even more.

When she was about to reach the entrance of the hall, the lights were bright inside, and she suddenly stopped, covered her heart, and her face turned pale.

The sudden palpitations made her feel that it was difficult to breathe.

The female officer who came with her heard the movement and saw that her face was wrong, so she was also frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Niangniang, what happened?"

"Nothing. Concubine Wei whispered: "It's just a little uneasy." ”

Seeing that her face was slowly recovering, the female official believed that it was really fine, and lowered her voice: "But it's because of the queen?"

"It's not. Concubine Wei shook her head.

The female official comforted: "I have arrived at the door, I must go to worship, but you can rest assured, King Lu is now gradually becoming a saint, you are his mother, for the sake of this, the queen mother will not be embarrassed." ”

Concubine Wei glanced at the female official, in the past ten years, it was this woman who has been assisting herself, she can be called her confidant, her words have indeed effectively calmed Concubine Wei's emotions.

She nodded and went inside.

Along the way, you can see that the queen temporarily moved to the main hall is a little small, but small is small, because the queen moved here, the decoration is resplendent and brilliant, revealing a kind of atmosphere, which is much more majestic than Concubine Wei's residence.

In the emperor's heart, the original wife is different.

Concubine Wei also had a time when she was favored, especially in the past ten years, she also had two years of special favor because of King Lu's cuteness and beauty when she was young, and it was at that time that she was promoted to Concubine Wei.

But even at that time, she had never seen so many good things.

These treasures should have been given to the queen by the emperor recently, right?

After all, the queen's palace was affected some time ago, the tiles fell, a lot of furnishings were smashed, and many craftsmen died.

"The concubine has seen the queen mother!" walked in, and saw a woman sitting in the center of the hall, wearing private clothes, looking over, Concubine Wei didn't dare to look more, she was busy restraining her expression, and Zhuang respected.

"Concubine Wei, no courtesy, flat body. A voice came from above: "Someone, give Concubine Wei a seat." ”

Some palace maids stepped forward to help her up, and someone brought the round stool and put it next to the top position, and asked Concubine Wei to sit down.

"Queen Xie. Concubine Wei was busy talking, and it wasn't until this moment that Concubine Wei saw the appearance of the woman sitting in the top position.

I only saw a dress embroidered with a phoenix in blue before, but at this time, it slowly moved to the face, and the dignified and beautiful face had no fat powder, and there were some traces of time, which was somewhat different from the beautiful woman more than ten years ago.

The difference is huge, but it doesn't seem to be much.

The eyes are still dark and gentle, the expression is tranquil, and the corners of the mouth are just right, making people feel that although the years have taken away her youth, they have left more open-minded and calm.

After just glancing at each other, Concubine Wei's original heart was relieved, and her heart was at ease, it didn't seem to be a bad thing, but in a blink of an eye, she felt some admiration and jealousy.

Looking at this situation, the queen mother is better than she imagined, she still thinks that a woman who has lost her only son and whose children and grandchildren still die at the hands of her husband will be more extreme, but she didn't expect that as the mother of a country, the queen is really the queen, very comparable.
