An autumn rain and a cold, this autumn rain came suddenly, and the rain outside the Qingning Palace became heavier and heavier. Queen Han Xueruo and Concubine Hua stood under the beams of the house, their thoughts flying. In just one year, Dongshengguo has been riddled with holes.

In addition to the loss of the dragon son in the womb, Magnolia's departure. The queen couldn't help but feel a little pain in her heart, pitying the people of the world. Thinking of this, the queen sighed deeply: "Alas, this autumn is coming to winter, and I don't know how the people should spend their lives this year." It's time for the autumn harvest, and it's not the right time for this sudden autumn rain!"

Speaking of which, the queen felt a little more helpless and anxious. Concubine Hua stretched out her hand, let the flowing water on the eaves wash her palms, cool without a trace of temperature, and said gloomily: "Yes! Natural and man-made disasters, the only thing we can do is to pray for them, I hope this autumn rain will stop soon." ”

While the queen and Concubine Hua were praying for the blessings of the people of the world, the 'Concubine Xiao' in the Ningxia Palace was full of anger, and since the turmoil in the frontier of the Tufang Kingdom, Emperor Wu Wei seemed to be busy dealing with state affairs all day long. And because 'Guo Qiuyue' was pregnant for several months, she couldn't serve by Emperor Wu Wei's side.

Gradually, Emperor Wu Wei began to change his laziness and began to enter the court. Listen to the government. This is definitely not a good thing for the national teacher and the 'Concubine Xiao'. Therefore, the 'Concubine Xiao' became more and more uneasy about this matter, and the autumn rain was still falling unscrupulously.

In the blink of an eye, 'Concubine Guo' has been pregnant for more than seven months. In the remaining three months, 'Concubine Xiao' had to look for a favorite concubine for Emperor Wu Wei again. In this way, he continued to corrode Emperor Wu Wei's mind and immersed him in drunken dreams and death. In this way, the national teacher can continue to cover the sky with one hand above the court.

And the choice of this favorite concubine has become the top priority of 'Concubine Xiao' now. Yan Hua saw that she was in a displeased mood, and she didn't dare to answer. Just quietly serving by his side, after a long time, 'Concubine Xiao' said: "Yan Hua, I heard that the first emperor once had a favorite concubine named Wei Xixi, right?"

Yan Hua was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "Niangniang, there is indeed a concubine named Wei Xixi in the palace, but after the death of the first emperor, she quietly disappeared. ”

'Concubine Xiao' looked on the eaves outside the room, looking at the dripping rain, Chen Si said for a moment: "Could it be that the Queen Mother killed her?"

Yan Hua nodded and said: "The women in this palace will inevitably offend some people, and I don't know how many unjust souls there are under the lotus pond, although there is not enough evidence to prove that Wei Xixi's sudden disappearance was caused by the Queen Mother." But nine times out of ten, this matter is related to the Queen Mother. ”

Hearing this, the 'Concubine Xiao' said with disgust: "This old immortal is always bad for the good things of the old lady." If His Majesty hadn't listened to her, He Bin wouldn't have been given military power in vain this time. ”

After that, the 'Concubine Xiao' had already clenched her fists, and her joints made gurgling sounds from time to time, and her eyes were full of dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother. Then he said: "Yan Hua, quickly go and find out whether this person named Wei Xixi is alive or dead, and come back to report to me." ”

Yan Hua agreed, took an umbrella, and disappeared into the heavy rain. It didn't take long for Yan Hua to find out what happened to Wei Xixi. The next day, Yan Hua told 'Concubine Xiao' the news of the investigation.

Soon after the death of the first emperor, this Wei Xixi was placed under house arrest by the Queen Mother in the Qinghe Hall of the West Palace. 'Concubine Xiao' listened to Yan Hua's eloquent words, and suddenly had an eyebrow in her heart.

Immediately, he sent Yanhua to send a letter to 'Concubine Guo'. Let her persuade Emperor Wu Wei to go to Qinghe Hall no matter what. He came to the Qinghe Hall where Wei Xixi was under house arrest first.

Qinghe Hall has been in disrepair for a long time, there is no longer its original style, the courtyard is very desolate, quiet and a little terrible. 'Concubine Xiao' gently pushed open the palace gate, and only two guards stood on either side.

Seeing 'Concubine Xiao' coming in, he hurriedly saluted and said, "The slave has seen Concubine Xiao's mother." ”

From the surprised eyes of the two guards, 'Concubine Xiao' could also see that Wei Guifei, who lived here, was down-and-out at this time. The same is true of this harem, when it is in power, it is like the stars holding the moon. And after losing power, she is like an abandoned woman who has fallen into the abyss, and no one cares about it.

Mother is more expensive than son, but the first emperor once had children, only two sons, the eldest son Wu Yi unfortunately died early, and the only one left who could inherit the great cause was only Wu Wei. It is clear that the Empress Dowager Xiaojia has become the winner of this harem.

Even the Wei family, who was once deeply loved, is now down to the point where the world is hot and cold. 'Concubine Xiao' slowly walked in with a contemptuous smile on the corner of her mouth.

Autumn leaves fall all over the ground in the courtyard, a cold wind blows, and yellow leaves fly. 'Concubine Xiao' hurriedly brushed her sleeves to cover the flying dust, and the pungent musty smell was disgusting. 'Concubine Xiao' coughed lightly and walked into the hall quickly.

The hall is still covered with layers of dust, and the furnishings should be old. 'Concubine Xiao' looked around the room, but found no trace of Wei. Just when 'Concubine Xiao' was in a trance, a woman's voice suddenly came from the side hall: "I haven't been patronized here for a long time, I don't know why this beauty is here today." ”

'Concubine Xiao' chuckled and said: "The Wei family also pampered this harem and was arrogant, but now it has reached this point, is it not possible to be willing to be trampled under the feet of the Queen Mother?"

A layer of tents separated the conversation between the two, Wei listened to the words of 'Concubine Xiao', just smiled faintly, her smile seemed to be helpless after seeing through everything, at this time, even if she was unwilling, what could she do, and Wei said: "Even if I am unwilling, the Queen Mother has become a winner, if I am dying and struggling, I am afraid that my life will also be buried at the bottom of the lotus pond!"

'Concubine Xiao' stood for a long time, but never found a place to sit, if it weren't for the fact that there were still people talking, maybe she didn't know that there would be people living here. 'Concubine Xiao' smiled: "The Wei family, who once had thousands of favors, will now be helpless." It doesn't seem like that's what you're saying, but if you live like this, you'd better die and be happy. ”

Wei sat on a couch in the side room, his hair disheveled. The clothes are no longer as gorgeous as they once were, and it is clear that she is still wearing the same clothes as before. The people in this deep palace are like this, and her past will also come to naught with the death of the immortal who has the respect of ten thousand people.

Listening to the words of 'Concubine Xiao', Wei just smiled self-deprecatingly: "Hehe, it once ceased to exist." It's true that I'm not as happy as dying every day, but how can I be willing to die if she doesn't die. ”

'Concubine Xiao' walked into Wei's side room with a smile and said as she walked: "It seems that Wei's hatred for that person is so much, why can't you give it a try, although you can't let her die, wouldn't it be quick to see her suffer." ”

The two glanced at each other, and 'Concubine Xiao' looked at Wei. Wei Shi also looked up and down at the noble lady in front of him, dressed in silk and satin, although it was not the best fabric in this palace, but it did not lose its dignity. It's just that her face is scarred, although she has layers of rouge gouache.

But it still looks shocking, and as a woman in this deep palace, Wei Shi doesn't think it's strange. This woman's competition for favor with women is unscrupulous and unscrupulous. Like the scar on the face of the woman in front of him, there was naturally nothing surprising about Wei.

After glancing at the 'Concubine Xiao', she just said lightly: "It seems that you and I are poor people in this deep palace." Do you have a grudge against the Queen Mother, I don't know what you came to see me today, please make it clear. ”

'Concubine Xiao' sat down opposite the Wei family, looking at the current Wei family, although there was no protection from the first emperor, but the handsome face was still full of red. Her beauty can still impress any man.

'Concubine Xiao' smiled slightly and said, "I heard that the Wei family is the number one beauty today, and it is really the case today." Since there is such a peerless face, how can there be no comeback. ”

Wei Shi quietly looked at 'Concubine Xiao' and said, "Oh, how do you say this?"

'Concubine Xiao' didn't beat around the bush, but said directly: "With Wei's appearance, why don't you serve the new king." If so, the Queen Mother knows what it will be like? Will she vomit blood in anger? ”

"You once served the first emperor, and you were the favorite concubine of the first emperor. If you are favored by Emperor Wu Wei, won't the Wei family be able to compete with the Queen Mother? As long as the Wei family wants to, with Emperor Wu Wei's temperament, it shouldn't be a problem for you to be in charge of the harem on your behalf!"

"Now that the queen has fallen out of favor and lost her beloved son, she has no intention of managing the affairs of the harem, and her favorite concubine Guo Qiuyue is pregnant. The affairs of the harem have no one to take over at this time, if the Wei family is favored by Emperor Wu Wei. Isn't it an opportunity, with Emperor Wu Wei in charge of you, even if you can't get rid of the Queen Mother, if you want to make things difficult for her everywhere, it shouldn't be a problem. ”

"Instead of living like this, Wei should fight for another chance for himself, what do you think?"

Wei Shi smiled coldly and said, "Hmph, now that I have been grounded in this Qinghe Palace, how can I have the opportunity to meet Emperor Wu Wei." And how to use my means. ”

'Concubine Xiao' was overjoyed when she heard this, Wei didn't refuse this matter, it seems that in the face of hatred, this woman has gone crazy. She seemed to have forgotten who she had served and whose woman she had been.

Before coming to Qinghe Palace, 'Concubine Xiao' had already investigated. Wei once had a son and a daughter. The eldest son was Wu Yi, but unfortunately died at the age of eight. And the second son born to the queen is Wu Wei.

At that time, Empress Xiaojia was old and had a son, and she was very fond of Wu Wei, and Wei was only seventeen years old at that time. Empress Xiaojia is over thirty-eight years old. Fortunately, the Wei family got a son first, and Empress Xiaojia has always regarded Wei's son as a thorn in the flesh.

It wasn't until the following year that Empress Xiaojia became pregnant again and gave birth to a son. A total of five princesses were born before that. At that time, Empress Xiaojia was already thirty-nine years old, and Wei was only eighteen years old.

And now the Empress Dowager Xiaojia is more than sixty years old, and the Wei family is only thirty-nine years old. The years did not make Wei old, but made her look more feminine than any woman in this palace.

Perhaps this is also because the Wei family is now down, and they are not like other women, after the death of the first emperor immortal. She could wait, but the old woman couldn't wait. Wu Yi's death made this woman hate the Empress Dowager Xiaojia for the rest of her life.

Now if she has the opportunity, how can she be willing to give up. Even if she died, she would take the Empress Dowager Xiaojia to be buried together. 'Concubine Xiao' watched her hatred suddenly increase. A hint of smugness flashed in his heart, and then he said: "Wei don't worry, I have my own way." Please wait for the good news! I will ask the palace maid to send you some rouge gouache and jewelry. Send some of the best Jiangnan silk that the Ministry of Internal Affairs just got this year. ”

"You are so good to dress up, and I guarantee that when Emperor Wu Wei sees you, he will love or not give charity. At that time, what can the Queen Mother do with you, maybe after she gets the news, she will vomit blood in anger! haha......"

The two looked at each other and smiled, the smile of 'Concubine Xiao' was full of pride, but the smile of Wei's was hatred. It was the old woman who made her lose her only son, and it was the old woman who used despicable means to remove the only obstacle to fighting with Wu Wei for the crown prince.

And the child that the old woman thought was an obstacle was the flesh that fell from her body when she was conceived in October. It was she who ruined everything about herself, it was she who turned herself into this, and Wei didn't think about revenge for a moment for so many years.

So she can't die, if she can't get out of Qinghe Hall in her life, then she also has to watch the Empress Dowager Xiaojia die of old age, so that she will be willing. Although I don't know if what the woman in front of me said is true or not, as long as she can get a chance, she will not give up.

Although he was a little skeptical, he still smiled and said, "In that case, I am here to wait for your good news, although I don't know what purpose you came to help me today, but I still thank you." ”

'Concubine Xiao' got up, glanced back at the Wei clan with hatred on his face, nodded and said, "I helped you because we have a common enemy. If she were alive, she would stand in my way. ”

After that, 'Concubine Xiao' waved her cuffs and left the Qinghe Palace. Walking out of the Qinghe Palace, 'Concubine Xiao' finally clenched her fists. The bones clenched. Immediately, a hint of sinister flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he muttered: "Hmph! If the Wei family returns to the harem, the Empress Dowager Xiaojia will have a fight with this old enemy." I don't know what the old guy's expression will be when he finds out about this. Will you vomit blood in anger, haha......"

A sinister and vicious laugh echoed in the corridor for a long time. But Wei's eyes were full of murderous aura at the moment......
