Xianyue stared with a smile and said: "After all, Concubine Rong has been with the emperor for almost a year. Is it true that she has never received even a trace of sincerity from the emperor?"
Hongli smiled and said: "She has no intention of me, so how can I care about her? I have given her many opportunities. It's a pity that she has to take such a dead end. How can I not succeed."
Here, his eyes turned cold and he said in a cold voice: "Anyone who dares to shake the Qing Dynasty will die as expected!"
"I understand." Xianyue suppressed a smile and said seriously: "The late emperor made the most correct decision by handing over the country to the emperor, because you will do your best to protect this beautiful country."
Hongli stared at her and said: "I not only want the country, but also the beauty."
Xianyue lowered her eyebrows and said with a smile: "The ancients said that you can't have your cake and eat it too; the emperor wants both, but he is so greedy."
"I have never said that I am not a greedy person." With these words, Hongli hugged Xianyue tightly again, filled with long-lost satisfaction in his chest; during this period, no matter how Concubine Rong and others were around him,
Even Yi Chenghuan couldn't give him this feeling.
While Hongli and Xianyue were detailing their feelings of separation during this period, the news that He Zhuo was beheaded and Concubine Rong was ordered to commit suicide quickly spread throughout the harem. Everyone was extremely shocked by this sudden change and couldn't help but wonder.
I believe that Concubine Rong, who was honored by the Holy Family yesterday, has been condemned to death today.
Wei Jingxuan stared at Xiao Yuanzi and said in surprise: "Did you really hear that right?"
Xiao Yuanzi said with certainty: "I have inquired several times and found out that Concubine Rong was indeed given death. It is absolutely true. I also heard that she refused to die because she was forced to drink poisonous wine by the Fifth Eunuch and the others."
Wei Jingxuan frowned tightly and said: "Why did things happen like this? How could Xiao and Zhuo come to Beijing? And they were executed. In this way, the relationship that we have finally repaired with the Huibu will be broken again.
?For the emperor to do this is really... difficult to understand."
"I have inquired, and it seems that Daxiao and Zhuo were escorted to the capital by Prince He and Master Fu." Xiao Yuanzi's words made Wei Jingxuan even more confused, saying: "Weren't the two of them exempted from their errands? Why did they go to the capital with Daxiao and Master Fu?
Do you have any contact with Zhuo?"
"This servant doesn't know." As soon as Xiao Yuanzi finished speaking, she asked, "Where is the emperor now?"
"Gone...gone..." Her words made Xiao Yuanzi become hesitant, and he did not say anything for a long time. Wei Jingxuan took the tea cup and said displeasedly: "Why are you hesitating? Why don't you hurry up and tell me."
Xiao Yuanzi gritted his teeth, lowered his head and said, "As to the master, the emperor has gone to the Yanxi Palace. The other guards responsible for guarding the Yanxi Palace have withdrawn. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has also been notified and the imperial concubine's expenses have been restored."
Hearing this, Wei Jingxuan's expression changed drastically, and she stood up suddenly, ignoring the overturned tea cup and wet clothes, staring at Xiao Yuanzi and saying: "What did you say, say it again!"
Xiao Yuanzi gritted his teeth and repeated: "The emperor went to Yanxi Palace." He was expecting Wei Jingxuan's reaction, so he didn't dare to say it. He was also shocked when he first heard about it.
"Isn't Nala Xiayue already imprisoned in Yanxi Palace? Why does the emperor still want to see her?" Faced with Wei Jingxuan's gritted teeth, Xiao Yuanzi did not dare to raise his head and stared at his toes and said: "I don't know.
"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Jingxuan said sternly: "Go and investigate immediately. We must find out the ins and outs of this matter!"
After Xiao Yuanzi left in a hurry, Xiangju said tentatively: "Master, your clothes are all wet. Let me change your clothes for you."
"No, you go down." After sending Xiangju down, Wei Jingxuan slowly raised her hands. Her hands had been shaking since just now, and she couldn't stop no matter how hard she tried.
Xiao Yuanzi's words gave her an ominous premonition that Nala Xianyue... was afraid that she was going to make a comeback; however, she could not figure out how there could be such a big change overnight.
It wasn't until night enveloped the entire Forbidden City that Wei Jingxuan saw Xiao Yuanzi coming back. The latter was walking in a hurry. After taking several breaths, she recounted what she had learned in detail. Following his words, Wei Jingxuan's heart moved.
It keeps sinking, as if falling into a bottomless abyss.
After telling what he had learned, Xiao Yuanzi frowned and said, "I still can't figure out why Huibu suddenly broke into chaos again when he had already submitted to me, the Qing Dynasty, and the prince..."
"They are not sincerely surrendering." Wei Jingxuan interrupted him: "It's fake. Everything is fake. The Huibu and Concubine Rong are acting, and the emperor is also acting. In the past year, nothing has been true.
.”
Xiao Yuanzi only heard some superficial things and did not know the inside story. So when he heard Wei Jingxuan's words, he asked strangely: "Master, why did you say this?"
Wei Jingxuan sneered and said: "The Huibu never thought of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty. They paid tribute and admitted the concubine into the palace. They were all to paralyze the emperor so that they could sneak attack on the Qing Dynasty. The emperor saw through their conspiracy, so he pretended to be trapped and imprisoned.
Imperial Concubine, please remove Prince He and Fu Heng; in fact, they have been secretly deploying the plan. If not, how could they have defeated the troops and captured Hezhuo and Hezhuo alive."
Xiao Yuanzi suddenly said: "I understand that the emperor's love for Concubine Rong is fake, so after the incident was completed, he did not hesitate to execute Concubine Rong and went to Yanxi Palace; in other words, the emperor's concubine did not
Not out of favor."
"That's right!" Wei Jingxuan said with an ugly face: "So as soon as the disaster was solved, the emperor immediately went to Yanxi Palace; ha, the emperor was really good at planning this time and deceived everyone."
Xiao Yuanzi said softly: "The imperial concubine is fine, so will the situation in the palace become the same as before?"
"I'm afraid it's more than that." The armored hand stroked the tablecloth and picked up a strand of light golden embroidery thread. After staring at the longer and longer thread for a long time, Wei Jingxuan said: "Your Majesty, please return to your heart."
Are you in the palace?"
"When I went to inquire before, the emperor was still in Yanxi Palace. I am afraid that he will spend the night in Yanxi Palace tonight." Facing Xiao Yuanzi's answer, Wei Jingxuan did not get angry and said calmly: "Okay, tomorrow.
As soon as the emperor comes to court in the morning, you can help me go to the Palace of Cultivation of the Heart."
Xiao Yuanzi said cautiously: "I know that the master does not want the imperial concubine to return his favor, but... the situation is unstoppable. If the master goes over now, I am afraid it will be counterproductive and displease the emperor. The slave is bold, please be patient for the time being and be quiet."
Waiting for good opportunity."
Faced with Xiao Yuanzi's persuasion, Wei Jingxuan said calmly: "Don't worry, my going to the Yangxin Palace is not what you thought, but..." But what, Wei Jingxuan did not say any more, and instead said: "Pass the meal on.
, I’m a little hungry.”
"Hey!" Although Xiao Yuanzi was full of curiosity, he didn't dare to ask more questions and went down to prepare the meal.
