Empress Huaishu of the Harem

Chapter 59 Breaking Dawn
Then Mrs. Chengyi spoke to Peiying again, and seeing that I couldn't get in, I went to see Concubine Jingui to leave.

Although the inner hall is overcrowded and messy all around.Concubine Jin Gui is fine, after all, she is pregnant and everyone will take care of her as best she can.I looked around for a week and said to her, "Do you want something to eat, Your Concubine?"

Concubine Jin Gui said: "Thank you Emperor Ji for your concern, my concubine is not hungry." I said: "It's better to eat something, I heard people say that pregnant women can't go hungry."

Concubine Jin Gui was stunned, smiled slightly, and said, "Does Di Ji know that Cousin Liu Hong gave birth to a daughter a few days ago, and she said that she would not look up after eating a yellow ox, I'm afraid Di Ji is talking about her."

I was also stunned for a moment, flushing like a log, it was already a person in my memory, but with her character, she was really able to say such words.Speaking of which, I was able to get to know Mrs. Xie, and then foolishly acted as a matchmaker between her and Brother Huang, thanks to this silly girl.

Thinking of the past, I also smiled.

At this moment, there was a burst of ecstatic cheers from outside the hall.

A messy man broke in, frightened the maids standing at the door half to death, and screamed to avoid them.

Now everyone in the room is frightened and gathered together because of this commotion.Fortunately, someone with sharp eyes said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's my Da Zhou's military uniform."

Sure enough, the man said: "We won, go and report to the Queen Mother, the reinforcements have arrived, and all the rebels outside the city will be wiped out."

The voice was so familiar, I stepped forward almost uncontrollably, helped him up and said, "You're back."

He touched the dirt on his face, revealing a handsome face, and said flatly as usual: "Yes, I'm back."

Outside the gate of the main hall, there was a golden dawn.

Day has broken.

The sound of Lun from Heaven is nothing more than that.

We are saved.

Zhen Zhiping, as the messenger, fell down at the next moment, which almost scared me out of my wits.Fortunately, the experienced old lady saw that he was exhausted, picked up a bowl of ginseng soup prepared for Concubine Jin Gui, and poured it down, and he slowly recovered.Knowing that the matter was urgent, he didn't care about his mother and sister, and was surrounded by us directly to meet the queen mother.

Only now did I know that Zhen Zhiping had only been away from the palace for half an hour before the rebel army began to attack the city. When he heard the sound, he also understood that the dozens of guards under him would not be enough to kill them even if they went back.So he hurried to Qi Wang's Bieye, explained the situation, and asked him to send troops to serve the king.But King Qi was always cautious, and Zhen Zhiping couldn't tell the cause and effect, so he dared not send troops no matter what.The fight broke up badly, and he went to find the King of Jin again. Although Yu Pei was also worried that the vassal king's sending troops would cause misunderstandings, but his biological mother was in a deep crisis, so why not be in a hurry to be a son? So he hesitated and ordered A thousand soldiers and horses were sent out to investigate outside the palace.Before the spies came back, the smoke from the Taiping Palace was billowing and burning red half the sky.This time he didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately killed him.

Although the Tiele people are good at fighting, it is already a big taboo for military strategists to go deep alone.As soldiers and horses from all sides of the Great Zhou came continuously, they were soon surrounded and wiped out.Because the Taiping Palace is full of female relatives of the Heavenly Family, they cannot collide.So Habayashi waited until the thieves were almost dead, and those who were still alive had surrendered and removed their armor, and then let Zhen Zhiping come back to report the letter.

Zhen Zhiping must have greatly hurt face with the King of Qi, and although he was not deliberately slanderous when he was mentioned, his attitude was also very bad: "The minister begged again and again, even if he sent a spy to take a look first, even the princess would look at it. Don't go there, persuade him through the curtain, the king of Qi will not accept it, and he values ​​himself more than the safety of the empress dowager."

After all, the queen mother has more experience than him, so she didn't get too entangled in this matter.First asked about the aftermath, and then sent someone to get in touch with the court.There is also the arrangement of the rest of the palace.

When they were done talking, Zhen Zhiping also got up to leave, because there was not enough manpower, the queen mother also tacitly allowed me to see him off.Suddenly remembered something, and asked: "The mother and daughter of the He family left the palace with you. I don't know how they are doing now?"

Zhen Zhiping's body froze for a moment, but he didn't speak.

Instead, his behavior aroused my suspicion, even uneasiness, and said angrily, "Hey, talk to me."

He sighed and said: "Forget it, forget it, you will know anyway. The rebels came from the northwest, and they happened to bump into the mother and daughter of the He family. They are already unlucky."

But judging by his expression, it would not be too honorable for the female family members of the He family to die.I suddenly felt a little creepy, if it wasn't for the palace guarding Kankan, my ending would be the ending of hundreds of female relatives
Zhen Zhiping saw my expression changing, and probably understood what I was thinking.But he has never been able to comfort people. After thinking about it, he only said: "It's all over, it will be fine."

I also sighed and said: "I see, by the way, Suling injured her right shoulder yesterday, if you have time, go and see her first."

Zhiping was really anxious, and said: "What, why is Ling'er hurt, the slaves around her really deserve to die, what did the imperial doctor say, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

I heard him complain a little bit, and I was not happy. I walked through the gate of life and death, how can I think about everything, is it my fault that your sister was injured?
But looking at his bloodshot eyes, and thinking about how hard he was in breaking out this time, I swallowed the anger that came to the back of my tongue, and said: "I was negligent for a moment, she was injured by a flying stone, Now that the predicament has been resolved, she will definitely receive good medical treatment."

But he was still unwilling to let go, and said: "What do you mean, no one healed her yesterday? Then there will be good things?"

I finally got angry, and said: "What do you mean by this, who is not living by a thread, lacking food and clothing. Suling was injured and we tried our best to take care of her. Is it my fault that there are not enough imperial doctors? Anyway, we are at the door , please go ahead." After saying that, he walked away without looking at his expression.

Afterwards, I also regret it when I think about it.After all, he made some suggestions to me, and his caring heart was beyond words.He spoke in a hurry but did not make sense.Why can't I bear him.But it's useless to talk about things now, and I only take care of the overly frightened Concubine Zhen.She managed to pick a daughter-in-law she wanted, but it happened that both mother and daughter had to die.This blow made her, who had always been soft-hearted, miserable and decadent.Not to mention that she deeply blamed herself for not keeping Mrs. He behind, which caused them to suffer misfortune.She refused to go out normally until we drove back to the palace.

On the other hand, the mother who stayed in the palace was almost robbed, and the history books are meticulous, and the emperor's brother is destined to bear the stigma for the Tiele people's actions.The young man was naturally aggrieved, and he was merciless in dealing with the dereliction of duty courtiers.

Xu Kechang, the commander-in-chief of Datong, was demoted to three ranks in a row and retained. Jingzhao Yin Su Hong, who supervised the defense of the capital, was dismissed and investigated, and his father Su Suixin was deprived of the qualification to be buried in the Xianzong Mausoleum.Even our eldest brother, the King of Qi, was reprimanded as "great unfilial piety" because he was half an hour late in dispatching troops, was fined half a year, and ordered to think about his mistakes.And Ji Weisheng, Minister of Sinong Temple, was even more unfavorable in managing the refugees. If the Queen Mother hadn't interceded for her by repaying her grievances with virtue, there would be another charge of exile waiting for him.Even so, his daughter Ji Chengyu, the side concubine of King Qi, was also implicated and demoted to concubine concubine, and the little prince was also handed over to the concubine Xu's upbringing.

Chen Shun, the general of the three armies, is old, and after all, he is the son-in-law of Xianzong's sister.Brother Huang just reprimanded him and ordered him to retire.Even so, this rigorous life general still blamed himself deeply. After being ill for several months, he died of illness in the spring of the 11th year of Qianyuan, and his posthumous title was Wucheng.

Of course, this is something.But what lies ahead is even more unacceptable.

Yu Che is gone, lying on the battlefield.
