Faced with Xia Qing's paranoid thoughts, A Luo and Qi Kuan didn't know what to say. When they were in a stalemate, Xiayue said, "Xia Qing, do you think I have the intention to let Wei Jingxuan go?"
Xia Qing said firmly: "It's not what I think, it's the fact."
"Wei Jingxuan encouraged the Fucha family to harm A Luo, Chang Le, and you. My hatred for her is definitely no less than yours, and it's not that I haven't taken action against her; but for so many years, she has been able to survive even from death.
Escape, why? Luck is only part of it. The main reason is that she is cautious and careful every step, so she can survive to this day. If she takes action rashly, even if she really takes Wei Jingxuan's life, the price she will pay will be very high."
Xia Qing said excitedly: "I don't care, as long as...as long as I can kill her, I don't care about anything."
Qi Kuan shook his head again and said: "Xia Qing, please calm down. Yes, you can not care, but the master cannot. Also, if something happens to the master, who will deal with Concubine Yu?"
Xianyue walked up to Xia Qing and said softly: "Qi Kuan is right, it is the most unworthy approach to lose both sides, and she is not worth your life."
Xia Qing sighed and said with a hint of helplessness: "But if I wait any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it if I want to lose both sides."
"No, I promise you that I will definitely take Wei Jingxuan's life. As for now..." Xianyue sketched a cold smile, "Although I can't stop her from going to the emperor, I can make her
She will not get the emperor's favor for a long time; and this time is enough for us to take her life."
Xia Qing asked doubtfully: "Master, how can you be so sure?"
Xianyue smiled and said: "For her to be able to go to the emperor, she must have something to do with the dead Fucha clan. However, Fucha clan can not only praise her, but also step on her!"
Xia Qing was puzzled by what she heard, and after a while she finally said: "But Fucha is already dead, how come... you can still support her and step on her?"
"You will know later." After Xianyue's words fell, Aluo frowned and said: "Speaking of the Fucha family, I remembered something. Recently, there are rumors that Concubine Yu and Concubine Jia went together to request an order.
, I hope that the emperor will not abolish the queen. Although the emperor did not agree immediately, he is quite moved, so the matter of abolishing the queen is probably going to cause trouble again."
Qi Kuan said unconvinced: "Although Mrs. Fucha committed suicide by drowning, it does not mean that the mistakes she made can be erased. If the emperor does not abolish the queen, he will not only go back on his words, but also make all officials dissatisfied."
Xianyue showed a wry smile and said: "You are wrong. Not only will the officials not be dissatisfied, they will also agree with the emperor's actions. After all, in their eyes, deposing the queen is a very dishonorable thing. It is best if she does not depose the queen.
That’s it.”
Qi Kuan said in astonishment: "How can there be such a thing? For the sake of dignity, can you ignore your conscience?"
"No matter what, in the eyes of hundreds of officials, Fucha is always right and I am always wrong. Who allowed me to be born like that? If not for the protection of the Emperor and the Queen Mother in these years, I would have been abandoned to the cold palace.
.”
Qi Kuan said angrily: "These people are really unreasonable, and I don't know where all the books they have read these years have gone." After a pause, he continued: "Then in my opinion, the emperor...will agree?"
Regarding his question, Xianyue remained silent. At this moment, a eunuch's usual shrill voice suddenly came from outside, "The Emperor has arrived!"
Xianyue quickly stood up to greet Hongli who walked in through the door. The latter supported her and said warmly: "No need to be polite, imperial concubine. Please sit down. I came today because I want to discuss something with you."
After Xianyue sat down as instructed, she said in a serious voice: "I wonder what your Majesty has to say?"
Hongli was silent for a while and said: "This matter... is about the queen."
Xianyue's heart sank. What was supposed to come had indeed come. She suppressed her thoughts and said with a blank look on her face: "May I ask your Majesty, what is it?"
Hongli hesitated for a moment and said: "I told you before that I wanted to depose Mingyu from the throne, but now Mingyu is dead. Speaking of which, I have an unshirkable responsibility for her death. It can even be said that I am responsible for her death."
Forced her to death." He took a breath, suppressed the sadness in his heart and said: "Since the person is dead,
It is meaningless to pursue the grievances during the lifetime, so... I want to give the queen the last mourning and honor, so that she can go away in peace and contentment." Seeing Xia Yue lowering her eyes and saying nothing, she added: "I know that doing this will make her happy.
This makes you very embarrassed. After all, Changle... was killed by my own hands, but she is my first wife after all.
My son, you have given birth to two sons for me. I can’t ignore your affection at all. Xianyue, I know that you are the most considerate and magnanimous person. Therefore, this time, I hope you can agree to this matter.
"The last sentence, Hongli said with a guilty conscience. The hatred of killing his daughter cannot be eliminated with just a few words.
Yes, if Xianyue really disagrees, he won't blame him too much. After all, it is something he forced others to do. However, he will have eternal regrets in his heart. After all, he personally forced Mingyu to death for Xianyue.
If he couldn't even give him the last honor, Mingyu would hate him, and he would hate himself!
Facing his gaze, Xianyue slowly raised the corners of her lips and said, "I was just about to talk to the emperor about this matter, but I didn't expect that the emperor would say it in one step." After a pause, she continued: "Just like the emperor.
As he said, it is already too late to pursue the grievances and grievances committed during his lifetime.
It's meaningless. In any case, I was the one who felt sorry for the queen first. She became so cruel and ruthless, so I am more or less responsible. She has paid for Changle's death with her own life, so let's end it here."
Hongli looked at her blankly for a long time, then said with a hint of surprise: "So, you agree?"
Xianyue lowered her head and smiled and said: "You are considerate and magnanimous. Your Majesty has already worn such two hats on my concubine. How can I dare to disagree?" At this point, she changed her voice and said softly.
: "Your Majesty, just do what you want, I will always stand by your side."
"Okay!" Hongli was happy and moved, and held her cold hand and put it on his chest, "I will always remember your affection for me and will never forget it!"
"I am very satisfied with the emperor's words." After a moment of pause, she said: "Speaking of which, I also have something I want to discuss with the emperor."
Hong Li was in a very good mood and said, "If you have anything to do, just tell me."
"I heard that Jingxuan and Ji You have now gone to serve the emperor." After Hongli nodded, she continued: "Speaking of which, the empress has no heirs left. Apart from the emperor, they were the empress during her lifetime.
The closest person. My concubine heard from Aluo that in her hometown, if there is someone close to him, he will purify his body and observe fasting for the deceased.
In a hundred days, the deceased's path to death will go more smoothly. So I am thinking that it is better for the two of them to purify the Queen's body and fast, and pray for the Queen's blessing before she is reborn." The so-called purification of the body and fasting also means purity of heart.
Keep few desires and stay away from sex. Once Hongli agrees, Wei Jingxuan's future will be cut off for at least a hundred days.
[Author's digression]: There should be another chapter later. Although I've been writing slowly lately, I'll try my best to keep it up to five chapters.
