"Arrange her to leave the palace tomorrow and send her to meet Mr. An. From now on, she will not be allowed to enter the palace." Liu Xiaoxuan touched Zhu'er's face and said with determination.
Xiao Quanzi said, "Don't worry, Madam, I will arrange everything."
"Xiao Quanzi, you have been with me for a year and have been loyal. I have nothing to give you, so I will give you these." Liu Xiaoxuan gave him a large bag of gold, "If anything happens to me in the future,
, you choose a good master."
Xiao Quanzi knelt down and said, "Empress, you must not say such sad words, Xiao Quanzi feels uncomfortable."
"I know that you have a good nature, so go and do some work."
"Mother, you must not do anything stupid."
Liu Xiaoxuan smiled bitterly, "I know, I just want to arrange for Zhu'er to have a good place to go. Don't overthink it."
"Your Majesty said this, and this slave will feel relieved."
After Xiao Quanzi left, Liu Xiaoxuan was alone in a daze.
Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and moon fly like a shuttle.
In the blink of an eye, she has been in ancient times for more than a year.
It felt like a long time, but now that I think about it, it seems like it was yesterday.
Now, if there is anything worth looking forward to here, it is to see him again.
However, I'm afraid this is impossible.
Liu Xiaoxuan sighed and climbed into bed.
Zhu'er was gone, and she seemed to be the only one left in Moyang.
Fortunately, I have Zhu Er with me this year.
She didn't accomplish anything big when she came here. The only thing she could do was to let Zhuer out of the palace, not wanting her to live such a rubbish life with him anymore.
Yes, life is rubbish.
She hopes that Pearl can meet her beloved man and stay away from the palace.
As for her, let's continue living such a rubbish life. He has lost his patience anyway, and she probably doesn't have much time left to live.
Liu Xiaoxuan touched the dagger beside her pillow. In fact, many nights, she could kill him with one knife while he was sleeping, but for some reason, she could never do it.
Is it because she is afraid that killing him will implicate her and she will never see Qi Mingzhuo again?
Maybe.
She sighed and hid the dagger.
It's really lonely in the deep palace. No wonder these women rack their brains and fight secretly all day long, fighting to the death.
Now, she can understand their situation very well.
Hey, as a teenager, I feel like a gray-haired old woman.
Liu Xiaoxuan turned over and curled up into the quilt.
From this moment on, she didn't want to think about anything anymore.
"Your Majesty." Eunuch Li knelt on the ground, his legs almost numb.
Recently, he couldn't do anything according to the emperor's wishes, and he was really going to collapse.
Several times, I wanted to retire and return home.
But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them out.
That feeling is really painful.
"Your Majesty, it's all my servant's fault. Just punish me. My servant is really stupid and his work is getting worse and worse. He really deserves to die."
Qi Xuyao was furious and shouted loudly, "The problem is not with you at all. Why are you apologizing? It's me. I can. It's been a year. I can't please a woman in a year. I
Isn’t this emperor omnipotent? Why is she an exception?”
Eunuch Li knelt on the ground and did not dare to say a word.
"Do you think she likes her fourth brother that much?"
Eunuch Li was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat. Everything he said now was wrong. How could he dare to make arbitrary comments?
"Your Majesty, this shouldn't be the case, right?"
"No, no, then why does she look so cold all year round? It seems like she feels wronged by being with me. Who among the women in this world doesn't love me? Who doesn't want to be held in my hands and cared for?"
"I guess Concubine Xuan has the same temper after she lost her memory. The emperor thinks too much."
"Am I thinking too much? Huh, I'm afraid she's pretending to have amnesia!"
"Pretending to have amnesia?" Eunuch Li was startled, "Concubine Xuan doesn't look like her, does she?"
"I comfort myself in this way, but if you think about it carefully, how could Zhaoyi and Jieyu be thrown into the cold palace so easily? Can a little Zhu'er plan this matter to the end? I follow
Although the Queen Mother has long wanted to eradicate them, she has never been able to find an opportunity, and this time the Queen Mother and the Tutor also..."
"Your Majesty, according to what you said, does Concubine Xuan endure the humiliation and bear the burden because she wants to rebel against Prince An?"
What Qi Xuyao hated the most was this sentence. He was so angry that he had no time to think about it.
"I don't care what her motives are, I will never endanger my empire just because of a woman. She can bring down even the Queen Mother, which shows how powerful her methods are. I can no longer condone her!"
"Then what are you going to do, Your Majesty?"
"I have sent people to guard Moyang Palace for more than a year, but I have not caught him. I always thought that if he still couldn't let go of Concubine Xuan, he would come back to her, but he didn't. I gradually let down my guard, but now,
When I think about this series of things, I feel that the person next to me is so terrible. It’s a shame that I try my best to please her.”
"The emperor's words make this slave feel very distressed."
"Go and inquire about Prince An. Also, let the news out and say that Concubine Xuan is critically ill."
Eunuch Li was frightened, "Your Majesty, do you really want to do this?"
Qi Xuyao clenched his fists, "If he comes to Concubine Xuan, it proves that their relationship is unresolved. I will never allow anyone to betray me!"
"My slave understands."
Jiangnan.
Quiet lake.
Qi Mingzhuo is fishing while wearing a straw hat.
The days passed very leisurely.
People disturb.
Catching is better than fishing.
When he caught a fish, he put it back again.
With his martial arts, he could split the lake surface with one palm and take the fish home to steam and eat them, but that would lose a lot of fun.
He now lives an ordinary life.
Occasionally he heard news about her. It was said that the emperor treated her very well, held her in his hands and protected her, and that her enemies were all eliminated alone, which made him feel more at ease.
In the past year, King Yong and King Dai both came to him and wanted to help him with his life, but he refused. He opened a small noodle shop by himself, the business was average, and he didn't want to live too tiredly.
"Master, it's not good. I heard that Concubine Xuan is critically ill." The few shadow guards he had taken in before refused to leave him, life and death. All the news about Concubine Xuan came from their mouths.
Critically ill?
impossible?
Fishing rod in hand loose.
"Is this news true?" After hearing her news, his usually calm mood could no longer be calm, and he was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
"Master, the news that came from the palace is true. The emperor knew that he had reached the limit of his power, so he left Concubine Xuan to fend for herself and doted on other concubines."
"master"
How could Liu Mingzhuo still listen? He rushed out like a strong wind.
There was only one thought in his mind, he wanted to see her!
