In the previous life, when the late emperor passed away, he was with Mu Qingchao, no one was around, and he was in the harem. Rumors spread among the people that he died on Mu Qingchao's bed.
It is said that Mu Qingchao is the reincarnation of a fox demon, which absorbs people's energy and seduces their souls.
The rumors spread bizarrely and fragrantly.
For a time, the crowd became excited and everyone shouted for death.
Uncle, oh, no, Mr. Zhong, just followed the officials and pushed the boat along.
This time, Mu Qingchao took the initiative to avoid disaster, and tried his best to suppress his presence after the death of the late emperor. He knelt before the late emperor's soul when it was time to cry, and behaved and behaved honestly.
In addition, she also has Shen Muchi as a "big boy", so those who want to touch her will naturally be greatly discouraged if they dare to touch her.
So Mr. Zhong jumped out first.
Mu Qingchao knew full well that Mr. Zhong was not upright about sending him to the palace. He was afraid that she would seize the position of Queen Mother, become bigger step by step, and eventually threaten him.
Although this possibility is extremely low, Mr. Zhong can sit in the position of chief assistant, so he is naturally very thoughtful. How can Baimi be careless and expose himself to enemies from both sides?
Since Mu Qingchao has no use value now, he should be killed to avoid future troubles.
But Mr. Zhong speaks beautifully, and what he says is all about righteousness and awe-inspiring justice.
In addition, since Mu Qing entered the palace, the late emperor had indeed been indulging in her room every day, neglecting to attend court early, and neglecting government affairs. There were many dissatisfied people in the court.
While the late emperor was still alive, the memorials scolding Mu Qingchao never stopped. Now that the late emperor has passed away, no one is protecting her, and with Mr. Zhong taking the lead, one can imagine the echoes.
Mu Qingchao knew that there were a lot of rumors outside, but she was extremely calm, sitting in her bedroom, counting her net worth one by one.
Staying with the late emperor this year, I received many rewards, which together can be regarded as a small fortune.
Mu Qing Dynasty divided it into three parts, one of which was given to the lower-class maids, rough servants, eunuchs and maids in the palace.
They have been with her for a year, and they are quite content. If they are no longer working in her palace, they will probably be transferred to other places. Maybe they won't get any good jobs, and they can't bear to be too involved.
Naturally, I should give them some money in the end, so as not to waste their fight with me in vain.
The second portion is for spring buds and roses.
"Empress, what are you..." Chun Ya looked at the silver handed over by Mu Qingchao, feeling a little puzzled.
Mu Qingchao said: "You can keep this money for now. If there is any trouble, you can use the money to find a way out.
When I was with the late emperor, I had a good relationship with Eunuch Li, who was in front of him. You can look for him, maybe he can be of some help."
Hearing Mu Qingchao say this, it seemed as if he was explaining the funeral arrangements.
Chunya's expression changed, and she immediately shouted: "Empress..."
Before Chunya could speak, Mu Qingchao said: "Here it is, take it first. This is an order!"
After that, she put the last portion into Chun Ya's hand: "If you can go out, take this money out with you and give it to my mother and brother.
Tell them, run, run as far as possible, there is no need to save me, and there is no need to send me on my last journey, I will not blame them, as long as they survive."
Mu Qingchao resurrected his life and had only three wishes.
The first is to protect the people around you, the second is to survive, the third is to live well...
If the latter two were too difficult to achieve, at least she would risk her life to complete the first one.
Early the next morning, Qiangwei hurried in.
"Empress, Your Majesty... Your Majesty wants you to go to Fulin Palace."
What is supposed to come, will always come.
Both Chunya and Qiangwei looked troubled. The previous shouts of "Demon Concubine Zhu" were loud. His Majesty asked her to go to Fulin Palace now. What else could he do?
"Empress..." Chunya squeezed Mu Qingchao's hand.
Mu Qingchao patted her: "Don't be afraid!"
She looked at Qiangwei: "Come here, dress up the Ai family and be more dignified."
She calls herself "Aijia", and she has to be dignified. Even if she dies, she will die in the name of the Queen Mother, not "Demon Concubine". Even if everyone in the world calls her that, she still has to believe that she is the Queen Mother of a country.
!
What Qiangwei changed for Mu Qingchao was a moon-white dark flower cloud brocade dress, covered with a lotus green cloak, a flowing cloud bun, and jasper hairpins on the temples.
At the request of Mu Qingchao, he was extra dignified.
Only when she walked, Chai's steps on the temples swayed, and she could still see a bit of girlish agility.
After finishing dressing up, Mu Qingchao breathed a long sigh of relief and opened the door of Chaoyun Palace.
It was still snowing heavily outside the house. She was holding a green umbrella. She moved the umbrella slightly and looked ahead.
The plum blossoms in Yimei Garden seem to be extra red this year. I wonder if it is because they have been stained with blood.
There are no longer bloody scenes in the palace from the past few days, and everything that needs to be cleaned has been cleaned up. The white snow falls on the plum blossom branches, and the red plum blossoms reflect the snow, which is poetic and picturesque.
Who would have thought that this place experienced a fight just a few days ago?
Mu Qingchao raised his eyes, and in the distance were the Hanguang Xiaoling Mountains and the Cangshan Mountains at dusk. Even though they were a bit bleak, the mountains and rivers were still picturesque.
It's a pity that I don't know if we will ever see such a beautiful scenery again.
In her previous life, she was imprisoned in a dark and rancid prison when she died. She didn't even know the year or month.
Later, when she read the history books, she realized that it was Nanming's New Year's Eve when she died.
I don’t know if my body hanging on the tower at that time added some beauty to the fireworks on New Year’s Eve that night.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw a sedan chair coming slowly and leisurely in front of me.
The person on the sedan chair was wearing a long haze-colored brocade dress with flowers, and a fragrant concubine-colored cloak with gold thread and peony pattern outside. The cloak was inlaid with a circle of white snow fox fur, which made her skin as white as snow, making her look pretty and charming.
She held a plum blossom umbrella and her posture, half leaning on the sedan chair, looked a bit lazy.
When she saw Mu Qingchao, she moved the umbrella away slightly, revealing a pair of eyes that looked like a smile but not a smile, and said in a teasing tone: "She turns out to be my cousin. I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing?"
Mu Qingchao clenched her fists and dug her fingers into her flesh. She felt a sharp pain. Only this pain could keep her awake.
This person is none other than her cousin - Zhong Chuchu.
The one who united with the fifth prince to send her to the palace.
Yes, it is recorded in the history books that when the fifth prince Shen Muchi proclaimed himself emperor, the first thing he did was to welcome Zhong Chuchu into the palace, confer him the title of concubine, and grant him the Yuxia Palace with boundless favors.
Mu Qingchao thought of every word in the history book, but his expression did not change. He only said in a cold voice: "The Jade Concubine is wrong. The Ai family is the Queen Mother. According to the rules of the palace, you have to get off the sedan chair and salute. I respect you."
A mother's voice."
"Queen mother?"
When Zhong Chuchu heard this, a smile appeared in the corners of her eyes. She seemed to have heard a big joke. She half-covered her lips with her beautiful hand and laughed so hard that her branches trembled.
"Mu Qingchao, Mu Qingchao, you've been in the palace for a year, and you really haven't made any progress at all."
