Chapter 164 The Empress Dowager Is Really Powerful
Chapter 164 The Queen Mother is really powerful
"Queen Mother?"
"Yes, it's the Queen Mother!" Once the words were spoken, there was no turning back. Qu Yan said firmly: "It's all because of the Queen Mother who caused our empress to be like this."
"Mr. Gao..." Qu Yan said with tears in her eyes: "Mr. Gao, you don't know, our queen has been really suffering during this time..."
This is quite true.
"First, she was framed for fake pregnancy to fight for favor, and was thrown into the cold palace. Later, she heard the bad news about the princess. How could she withstand such a heavy blow?
So, last night, he hung himself with a rope and died."
Gao Xian had already heard about Princess Zhenguo. He could guess that Concubine Rong must have been having a hard time during this period, but hearing these words from Qu Yan's mouth brought him into a different state of mind.
.
For a person as arrogant as her, being locked up in the cold palace had already destroyed her dignity, and then she heard so much bad news one after another. It's hard to imagine how she survived.
“All this was done by the current Queen Mother Mu Qingchao.
As the queen mother, she disregarded her shame and deliberately seduced the emperor. She was also jealous of our empress being favored, so she tried every means to frame her and finally drove her to a dead end."
After Qu Yan finished saying this, he added: "Mr. Gao, my wife has nothing to worry about in this world. The only thing she misses is you."
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine... still misses me?"
Gao Xian couldn't believe it.
Concubine Rong had dismissed him at first, so how could she still remember her now?
But I heard Qu Yan say: "The empress said that the decision she regretted the most was that she chose to enter the palace instead of marrying you."
"really?"
When Gao Xian heard this, his heart became filled with enthusiasm. Over time, his affection for Concubine Rong became deeper and deeper. He just wished he could rush into the palace right now and cut into pieces the person who framed her.
"If this slave tells a lie, I would rather be struck by lightning."
Qu Yan could swear like this because in her eyes, this was the whole story.
She said: "So before I die, I asked my servant to come to you, Mr. Gao."
With that said, she took a letter from her arms and gave it to Gao Xian.
"This is something entrusted by your Majesty to your servant. I am incompetent and cannot fulfill your last wish, so I can only come to you, Mr. Gao, to beg you to send this letter to Qinghe."
"Young Master, there is no one who can help your Majesty in this matter. I only ask you, Master, to do this favor for Your Majesty..."
As Qu Yan spoke, he kowtowed to Gao Xian several times.
Afraid that he would not agree, I said something like: "Please, Master, please, Master..."
"Hey, Miss Qu Yan..."
Upon seeing this, Gao Xian quickly went to help her up.
"This is Rong'er's last wish. Of course I should fulfill it. Why do you bother?"
After listening to Qu Yan's words, he felt that his relationship with Concubine Rong had reached a new level, so even his title was changed.
He looked at the letter in his hand. Concubine Rong kept the letter close to her body before she died, so the envelope was stained with her perfume.
Gao Xian smelled the fragrance of the powder, as if Concubine Rong was right in front of him.
Thinking that she was still thinking of him when she passed away makes me feel heartbroken and touched at the same time.
"Don't worry, aren't you just going to Qinghe? I'll just deliver the letter." He said solemnly.
Gao Xian seemed to be possessed by a ghost, so he set off to Qinghe on the second day, where he would not be able to pass the New Year. His parents tried hard to keep him here during the New Year, but they could not keep him no matter what.
I had no choice but to let him go.
**
Seeing that the New Year was approaching, the ministers in the court mentioned the matter of recruiting Shen Muchi into the harem.
It has been two years since the emperor ascended the throne, and he still has no heirs.
In addition, there were originally many concubines in this palace, but Concubine Jade, Concubine Zhong, Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong... all disappeared one after another, and the palace became desolate and withered.
I originally hoped that a beauty named Xu would be useful, but I didn't expect that she had also fallen out of favor recently.
It is not possible to continue like this. The ministers knelt in front of the palace and begged the emperor. In order to spread the branches and leaves, please make sure that the emperor is eclectic, recruits beauties, and fills the harem.
Shen Muchi didn't care much about such things. His thoughts were not on those concubines, but if the ministers said he would accept it, then he would accept it.
The ministers worked very efficiently, but within a few days beautiful and lively faces appeared in the harem.
The little girls were laughing and joking together, being lively and cheerful together. Even in the cold winter, they gave people a feeling of vitality. Looking from a distance, even people's mood improved.
When the girls first entered the palace, they were naturally full of curiosity and yearning for the affairs in the palace.
Some people heard someone say before entering the palace that no one in the palace is scary, but the Queen Mother is the most scary.
Whether it was Concubine Jade at the beginning or Concubine Rong later, they were all defeated at the hands of the Queen Mother.
But there is that kind of expression that does not know the heights and heights of the world.
"What's so scary about the Queen Mother? She's just a widow with a dead husband and a worn-out shoe." Sometimes women say that women are the most vicious.
"yes."
Unfortunately, these words can still resonate with many people: "If you are not His Majesty's biological mother and concubine, how big of a storm can it cause?
I see that there are always guard handles in front of the Chaoyun Palace door, and no one is allowed in or out. We can't even see her face, is it possible that she can still make things difficult for us?"
"That's right, that's right..."
The girls said this, and it was true that everyone was busy with the Queen Mother, and one by one they rushed to Fulin Hall like moths to the flame.
Now I'll give you food, and now I'll show you my talents.
But none of these could arouse the slightest interest in His Majesty. Most of the people were locked up outside Fulin Hall, freezing in the ice and snow for a whole day without being able to see the Emperor.
Their painstaking efforts are not as good as Eunuch Lu's words.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother seems not to have eaten much in the past few days."
Sure enough, when Shen Muchi, who was reviewing the memorial, heard this, he suddenly raised his head.
"what happened again?"
"My servant doesn't know. It was the news from Nanny Fang who was serving her. She said that when she sends meals every day, she just pokes a hole as big as her throat, and then she sends them back exactly the same."
"Nonsense, how can you do this without eating?" Shen Mu said anxiously.
The imperial doctor said that Mu Qingchao's illness was due to a combination of weakness and hardship. The disease was caused by the hardships he suffered as a child, and the two colds in the palace made his illness worse.
Therefore, it is necessary to take care of the child slowly, otherwise he may not live long.
"Have you asked the imperial doctor to see it? What did the imperial doctor say?" Shen Muchi asked.
"The imperial doctor couldn't tell the reason. He checked his pulse and said that everything was normal except for a little bit of emptiness. He was probably depressed, so it's common for him to have a poor appetite."
Often...
There is a fart!
Shen Muchi felt angry and didn't know what to say. After being bored for a while, he couldn't stand the memorial in his hand and simply threw it away.
"Show up and head towards the Cloud Palace."
"yes……"
At this time, several newly arrived concubines were waiting outside the palace gate. After waiting for a long time, they finally saw the door of Chaoyun Palace opened. They were overjoyed and were about to greet them.
But the emperor didn't even look at them.
The sedan chair turned around and headed directly towards the Cloud Palace.
