Chapter 45 The Imperial Guards Depart
Concubine Shu lowered her eyes.
I secretly thought in my heart, yes, what I want is your debt and soft-heartedness.
"Your Majesty, I have never changed my original intention and my love for you is unshakable. How come you have become a person with ulterior motives and evil intentions when you are here with Your Majesty? If Your Majesty continues to talk about me like this, I will ignore you. ”
With that said, Concubine Shu was about to throw down the red silk in her hand, but Emperor Qing Ling grabbed her hand.
He raised her hand and took out the red silk, opened his thin lips lightly, and read out: "I hope your heart will be like mine, and you will live up to your love. Yao agrees? Concubine Shu, what are you?"
Concubine Shu looked at the red silk, her brows and eyes were filled with warmth, as if they had experienced a long-lasting friendship.
She said: "Your Majesty, you have forgotten that today is the sixth year since Yao He entered the palace. Six years ago, Yao He entered the palace and became the emperor's concubine. Time has gone and will never come back, but love must remain, I am my concubine. I also forgot about it, but I didn’t want to go out and see it. The flowers in front of the Changshou Palace remind me of the day when I entered the palace. On that day, Your Majesty said, my concubines are like those plum blossoms, independent from the world, and their beauty is not as beautiful as the beauty of the world. Can Yaohe tonight be even half as good as that day? ”
As she spoke, she looked up at him shyly, revealing but not flattering, making the most of her charming face.
Emperor Qing Ling smiled, took the red silk in her hand into his arms, buried his head in her neck, and said in a low voice: "Yao He, I will live up to your love in this life."
Concubine Shu shrank in his arms, letting him hold her, and responded: "If I can live in the emperor's love words in this life, I will really be full of love and sweetness, sweeter than sugar."
After she finished speaking, Emperor Qing Ling picked her up by the waist and carried her directly into the main palace.
In the longevity palace, the lights are always bright.
The Queen Mother leaned on the couch, her eyebrows lowered, and she said in a deep voice: "How is it outside?"
Aunt Jade whispered back: "Back to the Queen Mother, the Emperor took Concubine Xian away in front of Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu endured it and pretended to be a good person to ask for the Queen Mother's grace on Concubine Xian's behalf."
The Queen Mother sneered: "Concubine Shu is really stupid and clever. She knows that the Ai family is trying to vent their anger on Guangling Palace. As long as she lets go, the matter will be trivial. But, she is too soft-tempered and can be manipulated easily. ”
Aunt Jade sighed: "Who says it's not the case? Since ancient times, there is no precedent for an emperor to carry another concubine from the concubine palace back to the Yangxin Palace in the rain. This Concubine Shu is really cowardly and stupid, but However, the Princess Ying'an she gave birth to was clever. Could it be that Concubine Yao gave all her intelligence to the princess after giving birth? "
"Where is the emperor now? Yangxin Hall?"
Aunt Yu shook her head, raised her lips and said, "The Queen Mother must not have guessed that Your Majesty has returned to Guangling Palace again and is now resting in Guangling Palace."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother frowned and said coldly: "Nonsense! Concubine Shu has..."
Aunt Jade took a step forward and stopped the Queen Mother's next words: "Your Majesty, since you want to hide Concubine Shu's pregnancy, just pretend that you don't know, and be careful that walls have ears."
The Queen Mother didn't say anything anymore. After all, Nanny Xiang was taking Ying'an next door.
Aunt Jade lowered her voice and continued: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is pregnant. Do you want to find an opportunity to inform the Queen?"
"Don't worry, let's see if there is any movement in the queen's belly. If there is any movement, Concubine Shu's pregnancy will be a bargaining chip for the Ai family to check and balance the Wu Ya family. If not, Concubine Shu's pregnancy will not be kept."
Aunt Jade said in a deep voice: "Why?"
"The prime minister is so ambitious that his achievements are greater than his master's. The emperor is deceived by his concubine. The Ai family does not have that. The Wuya family cannot have a prince, and the clan family cannot have one."
Aunt Jade nodded: "The Queen Mother is so worried about Jiangshan Sheji. You really love and care for the Emperor, for fear that he will be wronged in the slightest."
The Queen Mother looked at the candlelight and fireflies, which were elusive and elusive.
She sighed: "Yes, my son is pitiful. He is still preventing me from supporting Wu Yashi to rise to power. How can he understand my heart?"
It rained continuously all night long.
The pitter-patter makes the noisy people upset. The queen was confined to the palace, and everyone in the palace was exempted from having to sleep at dawn and dusk. When Concubine Shu woke up, the sky was already clear.
Xiao Wuzi rushed from outside the palace in a hurry, knelt down outside the palace, and raised his voice: "Empress, something big has happened!"
Concubine Shu's voice was extremely weak, hoarse and low, and she said, "What's going on? You're yelling like this so early in the morning."
Xiao Wuzi's voice trembled, as if he had experienced something terrible.
"Back to your Majesty, the heavy rain and strong wind last night blew down the flower bed of Qiankun Palace, revealing the things inside. I just took a look at it from a distance... Yes... Yes..."
Concubine Shu seemed to have gotten up, and her voice was much clearer, but she still couldn't hide her exhaustion, as if she was impatient and had a look of anger.
"What is it? Hesitantly, if you make such a fuss in the future, don't serve me in the palace."
She naturally knew what it was, but she was just curious, why was it yesterday?
Could it be because the emperor stayed with her last night?
She thought it would take two days before she could sing the big show.
"It's a doll engraved with the emperor's birth date. It's pierced with silver needles. It looks eerie and terrifying. The servants were very frightened when they saw it. This matter should have been spread by now. Madam, our palace just saw it a few days ago. I went to get the needle and thread and other items. I saw that the doll was almost the same as the needle and thread in our palace... I was afraid..."
Concubine Shu was fully dressed and opened the palace door. She was wearing a pink and purple skirt and a fox fur cloak, which made her as white as jade, noble and elegant.
At this time, she was very different from the weak and boneless she was yesterday, and she looked as if she was going to kill everyone.
"I don't do anything wrong, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. I didn't do anything, so I feel relaxed. By the way, when did the emperor leave?"
Xiaowuzi replied: "I've been gone for about an hour and a half."
Concubine Shu curled her lips, walked to the kitchen, and murmured: "Looking at the emperor's morning court, he will definitely be upset by this matter, and it may even cause the previous court to be in turmoil. I will do it myself." You are not allowed to take a bowl of soothing soup.”
Grandma Chen and Mi Chun, who had been transferred back, looked at each other, knelt down and said, "I know this."
Concubine Shu worked alone in the small kitchen for an hour before she came out in disgrace. The exquisite food box was held in her arms like a treasure as if it contained delicacies.
Seeing her, Grandma Chen and Mi Chun immediately stepped forward to dress her up again.
This time, the sun climbed directly overhead again.
The potholes on the ground from last night were still wet, and Concubine Shu was about to set out in the rain.
It was also a coincidence that the guards outside the gate were ordered to come with the imperial guards to search the palace. Each one held a sword and looked majestic to scare the little devils.
Concubine Shu's expression remained unchanged: "General Wei, what does this mean?"
Wei Xin was still a little afraid of the empress who came out of the cold palace. He still remembered that he had accompanied the emperor to the cold palace, and not long after, the empress came out.
Others are in flower stand style.
Those who can come out of the cold palace are truly capable.
"Your Majesty, I have been ordered to search the palace, but I hope your Majesty will not stop you."
