The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 182

Concubine Rong is reading a book in the tent.At this time, Jin Mei came in in a hurry, not even caring about etiquette, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the big thing is not good."

Seeing Jin Mei's panicked appearance, Concubine Rong was startled, and her expression became worried.She hurriedly stood up and asked, "What's the matter, is it the emperor or the acting king injured?"

"No." Jin Mei hurriedly waved her hands and said, "Your Majesty, the emperor brought a woman back from the paddock!"

"What!" Concubine Rong's expression changed drastically. She immediately dropped the book in her hand, reached out and grabbed Jin Mei's shoulder, and asked anxiously, "What did you say? Say it again!"

Jin Mei's shoulders hurt a little from being grabbed by Concubine Rong, "Your Majesty, just now the emperor brought a woman back from the paddock!"

Concubine Rong asked with a gloomy face: "Don't talk nonsense, what kind of woman, where did the woman come from in the paddock?"

She grasped Jinmei's shoulders with more force, and Jinmei couldn't help frowning due to the pain.She suppressed the pain and said: "Your Majesty, this servant did not lie to you, the emperor really carried a woman back from the paddock, and carried her directly back to the tent in the sleeping hall."

"What!" Concubine Rong pushed Jinmei away forcefully, and said with an expression of disbelief, "Impossible!"

"Your Majesty, this servant did not lie to you. Many people have seen it." Jin Mei said anxiously, "I heard that the woman was seriously injured in order to save the Emperor, and the Emperor called all the imperial physicians. Your Majesty, please go and have a look. .”

Concubine Rong stabilized her mind, her expression became calm from the panic just now, and the aura of the noble concubine was immediately revealed.

"What's going on, can you tell me clearly?"

Seeing Concubine Rong calm down, Jin Mei, who was in a hurry, calmed down unconsciously.

"My servant heard that the emperor encountered a pack of wolves while hunting in the paddock, and when he was almost injured by the wolves, a son appeared. This son was bitten by the wolves in order to save the emperor..."

Concubine Rong interrupted Jin Mei, "Didn't you just say you were a young lady, why did you become a young master again?"

"Your Majesty, this son is a young lady disguised as a man."

"A woman disguised as a man?" Concubine Rong narrowed her eyes slightly, with a cold expression, "Who is this woman?"

"It's Doctor Zhongsan's daughter, her name is Qin Xiulian." Jin Mei reported.

"Doctor Zhongsan's daughter?"

"Your Majesty, I also heard that this Qin Xiulian looks like an old friend of the Emperor."

"Old friend?" Concubine Rong felt uneasy when she heard this, "What old man?"

Jin Mei shook her head and said, "I don't know." She then said, "Your Majesty, I always think this matter is weird, you should go and have a look."

Many thoughts flashed through Concubine Rong's mind.She raised the corner of her mouth and sneered, "Go, go and have a look."

On the other side, Queen Xie also heard about this matter.

"Old man, which old man?" Empress Xie had a bad guess, "Does he look like that bitch Xie Wan?"

Jiang Chuan said: "This... the servant does not know."

"Whose daughter did you just say this woman is?"

"Doctor Zhongsan's daughter is named Qin Xiulian."

"Doctor Zhongsan?!" Empress Xie exclaimed.

Seeing that Empress Xie's reaction was a bit extreme, Jiang Chuan asked, "Ma'am, what's wrong with Dr. Zhongsan?"

Empress Xie said with a sullen face: "If I remember correctly, Dr. Zhongsan belongs to the eldest brother."

"A member of Duke Zhen?" Jiang Chuan asked in surprise.Immediately she thought of something, and said with a shocked expression, "Could it be that Qin Xiulian was arranged by the Duke?"

"It's very possible." Empress Xie thought of Duke Zhen's methods, with a disgusted expression on her face, "This Qin Xiulian must look like that bitch Xie Wan!"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean..."

Empress Xie gritted her teeth angrily and said, "Brother is really a good brother of this palace!"

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "Madam, if this is the case, what should we do next?" The emperor respected the late empress very much, and was also very worried about the late empress' death.Now if Lord Zhen Guo really arranges for a woman who looks like the former queen to approach the emperor, then the emperor will definitely love the daughter of Dr. Zhongsan.

"Go and have a look." Empress Xie said with a cold face, "I want to see what my good brother is going to do."

"Yes, ma'am." Jiang Chuan followed Empress Xie and walked towards Emperor Zhou Wu's camp.

Coincidentally, Empress Xie and Concubine Rong met on the way to the camp of Emperor Wu of Zhou.

Seeing Empress Xie, Concubine Rong taunted, "Empress Empress, why is your complexion not so good? Could it be that your snake venom has not been removed yet?"

When Empress Xie saw Concubine Rong, she thought of Emperor Wu of Zhou taking her to the tent to rest and have breakfast with her last night, and she couldn't restrain the jealousy and resentment in her heart.

"Concubine Rong, you are really lucky."

"Empress, you are also destined to die." Concubine Rong did not believe that Concubine De sent someone to release the snake last night at all.The object of her suspicion was Queen Xie. "Empress, you are really good at it!"

Empress Xie glanced sideways at Concubine Rong, and said with a sneer, "Concubine Rong, I hope you can still laugh later." After she finished speaking, she walked ahead holding Jiang Chuan's hand.

Concubine Rong looked thoughtfully at the back of Empress Xie leaving.Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in her mind at this time, and a shocked expression appeared on her face: "Could it be that the old man is the former queen?"

After hearing this, Jin Mei also had a surprised expression on her face: "Your Majesty, you mean that Qin Xiulian looks like the former queen?" If that's the case, then it's over...

"Looking at the queen's appearance just now, it is very likely to be true." Concubine Rong's mood suddenly became heavy, and her bright face became gloomy.

"Then...then..." The former empress is very important to the emperor.If that Qin Xiulian really looks like the former queen, then the emperor will definitely transfer all the guilt and love for the former queen to this Qin Xiulian.

Concubine Rong was upset, her face was not as calm as before.

"Let's go and have a look first."

"Yes, ma'am."

In the tent of Emperor Zhou Wu's bedroom, the nurse had already bandaged Qin Xiulian's wound.However, Qin Xiulian was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and did not wake up for the time being.

"Your Majesty, the empress is here."

"Let her in."

Empress Xie walked into the tent, she didn't look at Emperor Zhou Wu at first, but at the person lying on the bed.However, because of the distance, she did not see clearly the appearance of the woman on the bed.

She first bowed respectfully to Emperor Wu of Zhou, and then asked with concern: "Your Majesty, are you okay, is there any injury?" After she finished speaking, she looked at Emperor Wu of Zhou carefully.Seeing that Emperor Wu of Zhou was still wearing his hunting clothes, his hair was messy, and his face was still gray, he knew that Emperor Wu of Zhou had not had time to change his clothes when he came back from the paddock, and had been guarding the injured woman.

Emperor Wu of Zhou said calmly, "I'm fine."

"My concubine heard that your majesty encountered wolves and was almost in danger. Fortunately, a girl rescued you." Empress Xie asked with concern, "How is the girl's injury?"

She stepped forward to take a look.When she walked to the bed and saw the face of the woman lying on the dragon bed of Emperor Wu of Zhou, her eyes widened in shock, and she blurted out, "Si Youying!"

Empress Xie looked terrified, pointed at the woman on the bed, and said in disbelief, "Why is it Si Youying?" Didn't Si Youying die long ago?
As soon as Concubine Rong walked to the door of Emperor Zhou Wu's tent, she heard Empress Xie say "Si Youying", and her face suddenly became serious.

She didn't let Sun Doudou go in to report, but walked in, and heard Empress Xie ask: "Your Majesty, this is Miss Si Youying, is she not dead?"

Concubine Rong stopped in her footsteps, and she hurriedly looked at the woman lying on the bed.Because standing at the door, I can't see clearly.She suppressed her panic, walked to Emperor Wu of Zhou, first saluted Emperor Wu of Zhou, and then asked with concern if Emperor Wu of Zhou was injured.

Emperor Wu of Zhou nodded to Concubine Rong first, and then said to Empress Xie, "She is not Youying."

Hearing Emperor Wu of Zhou call "Youying" affectionately, Empress Xie and Concubine Rong felt jealousy in their hearts at the same time.

Empress Xie was full of panic, but she didn't show any signs of it on her face.She pretended to be concerned and asked: "Your Majesty, how is the girl's injury? Is there no danger to her life?"

"No."

While talking, Sun Kui walked in.

"Your Majesty, General Shen and the others are begging to see you."

Emperor Zhou Wu nodded, and immediately said to Empress Xie and Concubine Rong, "I'm fine, you go back first."

Empress Xie, Concubine Rong and the others bowed to Emperor Wu of Zhou, and immediately left the camp.

Emperor Wu of Zhou also left the sleeping tent, turned around and went to the tent for discussion.

Empress Xie and Concubine Rong were in a panic.Both of them couldn't care about each other.They hurried back to their tents.

Concubine Rong said in panic, "She looks like Si Youying!" She walked up and down in the tent anxiously, "She looks like Si Youying!" At this moment, Concubine Rong would rather Qin Xiulian be like the former queen than her She looks like Si Youying!

Jin Mei just sneaked a look at it, but she was really frightened.

That Qin Xiulian looks exactly like Miss Si!If the emperor hadn't said it wasn't Si Youying, she would have thought it was Miss Si herself!
There are people who look exactly the same in this world!
"Jin Mei, Si Youying is back!" Concubine Rong turned around, grabbed Jin Mei's shoulder with her hand, and said with a panicked expression, "Si Youying is back! She's back!"

Jin Mei reached out to hold Concubine Rong's hands.Only then did she realize that Concubine Rong's hands were cold.

"Young lady, calm down, didn't the emperor say that she is not Si Youying!"

"But, she and Si Youying look exactly the same, there are actually two people who look exactly the same in this world!"

"Your Majesty, even if she looks exactly the same, she's not Si Youying!" Jin Mei said so, but she obviously lacked the confidence to say this. "Your Majesty, don't panic."

Concubine Rong held Jinmei's hands tightly, and said in panic, "She looks exactly like Si Youying, how can I not panic, how can I not panic?!"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor said that she is not Si Youying!" Jin Mei said loudly to Concubine Rong, "Your Majesty, you can't mess yourself up now, you have to calm down and think about what to do next."

Hearing what Jin Mei said, Concubine Rong, who was in a hurry, calmed down a little.

"You're right, I can't panic."

"Your Majesty, sit down first." Jin Mei helped Concubine Rong to sit down, and then asked Nanny Shi to bring a cup of hot tea.

Nanny Shi moved quickly, and within a short while brought a cup of hot tea with a calming effect.

After Concubine Rong took a few sips, her flustered heart finally calmed down a bit.

"Your Majesty, we need to think carefully about how to deal with this Qin Xiulian who looks like Si Youying."

"The emperor will definitely accept her as a concubine." Concubine Rong said with a gloomy face, "Even if the emperor knows that she is not Si Youying, he will accept her into the palace."

"Your Majesty, even if she enters the palace, she will not pass you by. You can't mess around." Jin Mei comforted Concubine Rong, "Mother, at this time, you must be more stable."

Concubine Rong shook her head and said, "You don't know how important Si Youying is to the emperor."

"Your Majesty, why don't the servants know about it? Back then, when the emperor brought Si Youying into the mansion, the servants saw everything." Jin Mei served by Concubine Rong's side since she was a child, and she knew everything that happened back then. . "My servant feels that in the heart of the emperor, Si Youying is not as important as you."

"Really?" Concubine Rong didn't have much confidence facing only two women.One is Empress Xian, and the other is Si Youying.

Facing the first queen, she felt jealous in her heart, but she didn't have a sense of crisis.Because she knew in her heart that Emperor Wu of Zhou had only respect for the former empress, but no love between men and women.

Facing Si Youying, she was also jealous in her heart, and at the same time she was very scared and uneasy.Because she knew that Emperor Wu of Zhou was in love with Si Youying.

Back then, Emperor Wu of Zhou and Si Youying fell in love with each other.Emperor Wu of Zhou took Si Youying back to meet his family on purpose. At that time, the late emperor and queen mother were also very satisfied with Si Youying.Empress Xian also took great care of Si Youying.

In fact, at that time, everyone in the mansion acquiesced that Si Youying was about to enter the mansion to marry Emperor Wu of Zhou.Unfortunately, Si Youying died in battle later.

If Si Youying hadn't died in battle back then, I'm afraid Si Youying is now Emperor Wu's favorite concubine.

"Your Majesty, although the Emperor liked Si Youying a little bit back then, you have to be confident that the Emperor likes you more and cares about you more." Jin Mei continued to comfort Concubine Rong, "You can't look like Si Youying just because of this. Qin Xiulian panicked. She is not Si Youying after all!"

"Jin Mei, you also know that the emperor was going to marry Si Youying to enter the mansion." Concubine Rong recalled what happened back then, and her expression became sad, "Do you still remember the time when the emperor brought Si Youying back to the mansion?" ?”

"I remember." Jin Mei said, "At that time, the emperor brought a girl back, which shocked both the first emperor and the first queen mother."

"I will never forget the expression on the emperor's face when he brought Si Youying back to the mansion. I have never seen the emperor smile so brightly and happily." Concubine Rong twisted her handkerchief vigorously with both hands, "I will never forget the emperor's look at Si Youying." Eyes, tender and affectionate."

"Your Majesty, the emperor looks at you very tenderly and affectionately."

Concubine Rong didn't respond to Jin Mei's words, but continued on her own: "I heard from the soldiers that Si Youying and the emperor were inseparable in the barracks. After the emperor brought Si Youying back to the mansion, the two were also inseparable... ..."

"Your Majesty, this is what happened back then, besides, Si Youying is dead."

"Jin Mei, if Si Youying hadn't died back then, she would have married the emperor one step earlier than me. Maybe she is a noble concubine now, and I am a little concubine."

"Impossible!" Jin Mei said, "Even if Si Youying didn't die back then and the emperor let her into the mansion, she would not pass you by. The emperor will never make her a noble concubine, she will never be better than you."

"Is that true?" Concubine Rong always felt that Emperor Wu of Zhou treated Si Youying unusually.She suddenly remembered something, "The reason why the emperor doted on Liang Zhaoyi back then was because Liang Zhaoyi's eyes resembled Si Youying's."

"However, Liang Zhaoyi soon fell out of favor." Jin Mei continued, "Besides, the emperor is not a person who is greedy for beauty. Even if Qin Xiulian is like Si Youying, the emperor will not lose his sense of propriety."

"I'm afraid that the emperor will make up for all the regrets and guilt of the past on Qin Xiulian."

"Even so, the emperor will not let this Qin Xiulian pass you." Jin Mei held Concubine Rong's hand and comforted her, "You don't have to be afraid of this Qin Xiulian."

Concubine Rong Gui felt much better after being so comforted by Jin Mei.

"You're right, I can't be afraid."

"Your Majesty, you clearly know that the Emperor cares about you the most, but you always have no confidence in yourself." Jin Mei said, "It's wrong for you to worry about gains and losses."

Concubine Rong raised a bitter smile: "I don't know what's wrong with me."

"Your Majesty, you love the Emperor too much, but you also forgot that the Emperor loves you." Jinmei comforted her in every possible way, "The Emperor has doted on you since you were a child. Besides, who can surpass the relationship between you and the Emperor for decades?" I deserve you."

Concubine Rong recalled her childhood, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and the uneasiness in her heart disappeared immediately.

"You're right, I was too worried."

"Mother, we have to think about how to deal with that Qin Xiulian next, so we can't make her too proud?"

Concubine Rong nodded and said: "You have to think about it."

Not only Concubine Rong was in a panic, but Empress Xie was also in a panic.

Back then, when Emperor Wu of Zhou brought Si Youying back to his mansion, Empress Xie was there.At that time, although she was young, she was deeply impressed by Si Youying.

Since Empress Xian married Emperor Wu of Zhou, Empress Xie often went to Zhao's house to play and lived in Zhao's house from time to time.

When she was young, she didn't want to be jealous of Empress Xian, on the contrary, she liked Empress Xian very much.The older sister, Empress Xian, also loved and cared for her younger sister very much.

At that time, the young Empress Xie did not like Emperor Wu of Zhou, but only regarded Emperor Wu of Zhou as her brother-in-law.She hopes that her sister and brother-in-law will be well.However, at that time Emperor Wu of Zhou brought back a woman, a very beautiful woman.

At that time, Emperor Wu of Zhou wanted to marry Si Youying into the mansion.Not only did the first queen not object, but she also supported it very much.At that time, the young Empress Xie was still angry about this matter, thinking that the former empress should not have allowed Si Youying to enter the mansion.

Empress Xian didn't say much to the young Empress Xie at that time, she only said that as long as Emperor Zhou Wu liked it, she would understand when she grew up.

Empress Xie didn't understand at that time, she felt that her sister dared not refuse to let Si Youying enter.She felt wronged for her sister, and even went home and told her father to stop Si Youying from marrying Emperor Wu of Zhou, but her father disagreed.

Seeing that her father would not help her and her sister, she decided to help her sister get rid of Si Youying.She deliberately made a bad move, which angered Emperor Wu of Zhou.

Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't punish her because she was young and because she was the younger sister of the first queen.However, she was severely taught a lesson.That was the first time she was scolded when she grew up.

Empress Xie is the first daughter of the Xie family and also the youngest daughter. She has been loved by everyone since she was born. Everyone loves her very much. Not to mention scolding her, they have never said a single harsh word to her.

Before Si Youying came, Emperor Wu of Zhou had never scolded the young Empress Xie at that time.He also loves her very much.However, since Si Youying came, Emperor Wu of Zhou not only taught her a lesson, but also stopped loving her as much as before.

Because of this, she hated that Si Youying very much, but everyone in the Zhao family liked that Si Youying.Even her father and mother praised Si Youying as a heroine.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?" Seeing that Empress Xie's complexion became increasingly ugly, Jiang Chuan asked with concern.

"The person I hate the most in my life is Si Youying!" She didn't remember many things clearly when she was a child, but she remembered things about Si Youying very clearly.She still remembers Si Youying's triumphant expression.

"Mother, who is Si Youying? Why do you hate her so much?" Jiang Chuan didn't serve Empress Xie since she was a child, so she didn't know about Si Youying.

"A vixen." Empress Xie simply told Jiang Chuan about Xia Si Youying.

After Jiang Chuan heard it, his expression was very surprised: "So, the emperor liked Si Youying very much back then?"

Queen Xie didn't answer Jiang Chuan's question when she heard it.

"Mother, this Qin Xiulian looks like Si Youying, the emperor will definitely accept her as a concubine, which is not good for us." Jiang Chuan said worriedly, "We have to think about how to deal with this Qin Xiulian."

Just now, Empress Xie remembered some things from that year, such as the scene of Emperor Wu of Zhou and Si Youying walking side by side, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.Also, there is a picture of Emperor Wu of Zhou and her competing in the courtyard.

Thinking about it now, Emperor Wu of Zhou and Si Youying were in love with each other at that time.

"Ben Gong's eldest brother is really good at finding someone who looks exactly like Si Youying!" Now, Empress Xie finally understood the purpose of Duke Zhen. "This Qin Xiulian will not pose a threat to this palace, but it should pose a great threat to that bitch of Concubine Rong."

"You mean that Duke Zhen arranged for Qin Xiulian to appear to deal with Concubine Rong?"

"Well, if Si Youying hadn't died back then, she would have married the emperor earlier than Concubine Rong." Empress Xie said with a meaningful smile, "If Si Youying had lived, the current concubine would not be that bitch like Concubine Rong!"

"Duke Zhen wants Qin Xiulian to be favored against Concubine Rong?"

"That's right." Empress Xie sneered, "This is the plan of my good brother."

Although Empress Xie was angry that Duke Zhen did not tell her about this in advance, but she knew the purpose of Duke Zhen in her heart.If this Qin Xiulian can really steal the favor of Concubine Rong, it will be a good thing for her.However, she hated Si Youying in her heart and was very dissatisfied with Zhen Guogong's arrangement.

Also, she was very disturbed.She knew from a young age that Emperor Wu of Zhou wanted to marry Si Youying, but it was a pity that Si Youying died in battle. This matter was the greatest regret in Emperor Wu of Zhou's heart.Now that there is a person who looks exactly like Si Youying, Emperor Wu of Zhou will definitely make up for Qin Xiulian's regrets back then.I'm afraid that Qin Xiulian will become the second Concubine Rong, and may even be more favored than Concubine Rong.

"My lady, this is a good thing for us."

Empress Xie frowned and said, "Not necessarily."

"Miss, what do you mean?"

Empress Xie said with a sullen face, "I have to think about this matter carefully."

At this moment, in the tent for discussion.

"Boss, I've found out, the wolves didn't arrange for the wolves to break into the paddock, they were hiding in the deep forest all the time."

"Boss, even if there are no wolves, that Qin Xiulian will still appear in front of you."

"Boss, this Qin Xiulian should have been specially arranged by Lord Zhen Guo."

Emperor Wu of Zhou raised the corners of his mouth and smiled playfully: "Duke Zhen is really good at finding someone exactly like Youying."

Shen Hu curled his lips in disgust and said, "They look the same, but their demeanor can't be compared with General Si's."

Chu Ying sighed: "I didn't expect there to be such a similar two people in the world."

Zhang Gong asked directly: "Boss, what are you going to do?"

Emperor Wu of Zhou suddenly smiled and said: "Of course, let Qin Xiulian enter the palace as a concubine and become my most beloved concubine, otherwise it would be a waste of Duke Zhen's kindness."
