Nine hundred and seventieth chapters meet again after a long absence
"No, Your Majesty, if you give me another chance, I will definitely..." Before she could finish her words, Hongli kicked her away with all his strength and said expressionlessly: "Pull her down!"
As an emperor, Hongli could be kind or ruthless, but what Qiluo saw at this moment was the most ruthless side of him, taking life and death without mercy!
No matter how much Qiluo begged, she could not escape the ending of death. Hongli liked her fragrance, her dance, and her appearance, but... that was all; he liked her, but he would not be unable to let go!
Qi Luo is dead, and A Ying and A Yu she brought from the Huibu Department are naturally dead as well. As for the other palace people, Gu Nian did not do any evil and did not take their lives. They were just arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to work elsewhere.
.
After Hongli returned to the imperial desk and sat down, Hongzhou cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations to the emperor, for pacifying the chaos in southern Xinjiang. After this battle, the tribes in southern Xinjiang will not dare to have any different intentions. What about Tibet?"
Hongli said with a smile: "The rebellion in Tibet was caused by the instigation of Boronido. Now that we know that Boronido has been captured by the Qing Dynasty, we have sent people to deliver peace documents, so
Don’t worry!”
Fu Heng said happily: "In this way, the war can be stopped and the people can be at peace!"
"That's right!" Hongli nodded and said, "Thanks to you two for this matter, otherwise we would not have been able to pacify and return to the headquarters so smoothly."
Fu Heng said quickly: "If the emperor had not seen through the Hui tribe's conspiracy in time and strategized, how could the ministers and others be able to pacify the Hui tribe. If we talk about merit, the emperor is the one who has made the greatest contribution."
Hongli smiled and said: "I may have merit, but I am by no means the one who has the greatest merit." After saying this, he said: "I still have something to do, so you should leave first."
After Hong Zhou and the others left, Hong Li also stood up and left the Yangxin Hall. Si Xi followed behind with his head lowered. He knew where Hong Li was going.
Yanxi Palace... Hongli looked at the three words on the plaque and was filled with emotion. For a long time, he glanced at the guards who were bowing and saluting, and said: "Please step aside, there is no need to guard the Yanxi Palace anymore."
After saying this, he walked in, and with every step he took, his heart sank a little; in his memory, the courtyard of Yanxi Palace was filled with seasonal flowers and bonsais all year round, even in the cold winter.
The flowers bloomed in the wind, giving people a sense of vitality. But now, all he saw were dead flowers and dead leaves. The cool sunlight shining on these dead flowers and leaves revealed a sense of desolation, like... a cold palace.
generally.
Looking at all this, Hongli felt flustered for no reason. He quickly quickened his pace and walked towards the main hall. When he got there, there was no one in sight. Then, he searched all the side halls on the left and right, the pavilion, and the side rooms, all the time.
There was no trace of Xianyue, not even a single person from the palace.
How could this happen? Although he banned the Yanxi Palace, he never reduced the number of people in the palace. Why is there no one there? What happened?
The more Hongli searched, the more panicked he became, and he kept saying: "Sixi, where is the imperial concubine? Why can't I see the imperial concubine? Where is she?"
Si Xi knew what he was thinking and said quickly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the imperial concubine will be fine. I will go look for her right now!" While speaking, he vaguely heard something, listened with compassion, and said anxiously
: "Your Majesty, this servant heard a sound, which seemed to come from the backyard."
Before he finished speaking, Hongli had already walked quickly to the backyard. The backyard of Yanxi Palace was where the palace people lived. As expected, as soon as he entered, he saw a bunch of palace people gathered in a circle, with a woman in the middle with her back to him.
While Hongli was kicking the shuttlecock lightly, someone was counting beside him, "Ninety-nine, one hundred, one hundred and one..."
At this time, someone saw Hongli, and he knelt down in shock and said, "This slave is here to see the Emperor. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
After him, all the people in the palace knelt down. Except for Hongli, only the shuttlecock player was still standing. When she turned around, Hongli's eyes instantly became moist. Then, he
He passed over the kneeling palace servants, hugged the woman tightly in his arms, and said excitedly: "Xiaoyue, I can finally come to see you!"
The sudden embrace made Xianyue a little stunned, but she quickly came to her senses, showed a bright and gentle smile, and said: "The emperor has been settled and returned to his headquarters?"
Hongli nodded vigorously, "Lao Wu and Fu Heng led the troops to pacify and return to the tribe, and captured Xiao Hezhuo alive. I have pushed them out of the Meridian Gate, beheaded them, and exposed their bodies for three days; as for Concubine Rong, I have also allowed her to commit suicide."
It’s over, Xianyue, everything is over.”
Xianyue opened her eyes slightly, with endless joy in her bright eyes, "It's good that it's over. I've been worried for so many days, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Hongli stared at her, with a hint of affection on his handsome face, and said warmly: "I have wronged you these days."
Xianyue said with a smile: "My concubine plays here with the palace people every day. I will not suffer any grievances. Your Majesty, please don't take it to heart."
Hongli smiled at what she said, and then said with some fear: "I came here just now. I searched all the side halls of the main hall and couldn't find you. At that moment, I thought you had left Yanxi Palace and didn't want to see me anymore.
See; at that moment... I really don't know what to do. Fortunately, you are still there, Xianyue, fortunately you are still there!" After speaking, Hongli's voice was choked with sobs.
Xianyue smiled, shook Hongli's cold hand and said: "The Yanxi Palace is guarded day and night by guards, how can I leave? Besides, I know clearly that the emperor is not really disgusted with Concubine Rong because of his favor.
Concubine, how could I leave?!"
Hongli said eagerly: "I will never tire of you, and I never will!"
"I know." In Xianyue's gentle smile, Hongli caressed her cheek and said sympathetically: "Does it still hurt?"
Xianyue knew that he was talking about the palm from the Yangxin Hall that day, and said with relief: "It has been so long, it still hurts, and there is no need for the emperor to care about it anymore."
Hongli sighed and said: "That day, in order to win Concubine Rong's trust, I deliberately slapped you, and then I couldn't come to see you. Instead, I had to imprison you, and even reduced your status to a nobleman. This made me feel really sad.
Now everything is finally clearing up after the rain.”
"I understand, so I have never blamed the emperor. Finally, all this was not in vain. The conspiracy between Concubine Rong and Xiao Hezhuo was solved as expected. But..." She said with a half-smile but not a smile: "The emperor is really willing to give death to Rong Rong.
Concubine? It is unlikely that I will find another woman with such extraordinary talent. Your Majesty, please don’t wait until Concubine Rong dies to regret it again.”
Hongli gently pinched her cheek and said: "You girl, are I so lewd and lustful, and do you care about beauty rather than evil? Besides, I have never been sincere to Concubine Rong, so how can I do it?
"Reluctant to give up", those previous favors were all done deliberately to confuse her, Polonido and others."
