Empress is on top

"Your Majesty, everything is the fault of this humble minister. It is the humble minister who taught his daughter well, which led to this catastrophe. Please punish the emperor. This humble minister is willing to bear all the consequences."

At this time, Li Jingsu also immediately said: "Your majesty clearly sees that this matter has nothing to do with the concubine's father, please give me death!" She kowtowed in front of Sima Bo non-stop. Her father will bear it.

At this time Gao Xueming was also anxious, she knelt and walked to the front and said: "Your Majesty, all this is the fault of this servant, it is the idea of ​​this servant, the fire is also set by the servant, and all the things are done by the servant alone. , since the prime minister has nothing to do with the empress, if you want to kill, kill the slaves!" The three of them were like this, and Sima Bo punished those who fought with each other.

Sima Bo looked coldly at the three people kneeling in front of him, his heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cave. He was completely awakened by Li Jingsu's words just now, "Concubine Jing is right. The death of the imperial concubine is indeed my fault. There are too many women in my harem, which led to the tragic death of the imperial concubine. If I had only married the imperial concubine, she would not leave me today, come here," he shouted towards the door, and when You Jing came in, he continued Said: "The decree continues, all concubines below the concubine level in the harem will be expelled from the palace, and I will allow them to remarry. From today on, the three-year draft will be abolished. Without my order, no women are allowed to enter the palace, including maids." There was regret in his voice. If he had realized the threat these women posed to Qiao Xi earlier, he would have given up all the women, but it was too late now.

After listening to Sima Bo's order, You Jing was also stunned for two seconds. Sima Bo's move was the first in history. She didn't know what Sima Bo was thinking, and she didn't dare to ask, "Yes, I'm going now, slave." Proclamation," she turned and left after she finished speaking, but she was thinking in her heart that she didn't know how many women would cry together later.

After You Jing left, Sima Bo returned his cold eyes to the three kneeling on the ground, "As for the three of you, what to do is up to you. I don't want to punish you," Sima Bo got up and left.

The next day in the imperial garden, Ling Xinrong was walking with a large group of court ladies, and stopped at a place where chrysanthemums were in full bloom, and sighed, "This imperial palace has suddenly become so deserted, I'm really not used to it." Hey!" After she finished speaking, she sighed again, when there were so many people, she found it annoying to have so many people around her every day, but now she realized that those people still have some effect, at least they can help you when you are bored. To pass the time, now everyone in the palace has left, only she and Wang Yun are left, and there is no one to talk to.

"Young lady, this is a good thing! Concubine Jing has now moved into the Peace Palace by herself, eats fast and recites Buddha every day, and takes hair to practice. Dong Li also resigned from office and went home to retire. Gao Xueming, who was closest to her, also hanged herself. Concubine Jing is You and Concubine Yun are the only ones in the harem now, of course the position of empress belongs to the empress," a palace maid in sky blue replied wittily, holding Ling Xinrong with one hand as she walked slowly in the imperial garden. walk.

"Jie'er, you don't know! Since the death of Concubine Qiao, the emperor has never been to the harem, nor has he summoned me. He has met Wang Yun a few times, and Wang Yun is now pregnant. This position of empress, I am afraid that there is no hope for this palace. Anyway, there are only two women in the harem now, Bengong and Concubine Yun, so what is the point of who is the queen! Now the key is to get the emperor's favor, look at Concubine Jing , how majestic it was back then, being worshiped by all the officials, the wedding procession lined up on the street, and Concubine Qiao. The palace now understands that no power or fame is as important as the emperor's favor." Although Ling Xinrong didn't know why Li Jingsu moved into the Peace Palace, she knew that it must have something to do with Qiao Xi's death.

"Yes, what your mother said is right. The most important thing now is to get the emperor's favor. This servant has a way to make the emperor pay attention to your mother, but I don't know if it is possible." Jie'er's black eyes kept turning, looking special She is so cute, but her meticulous thoughts are not at all the same as her pure appearance.

Ling Xinrong stopped, looked at Jie'er beside her, and asked anxiously: "What method, let's talk about it, as long as the emperor pays attention to me, no matter what method I am willing to do," everyone knows who will be the first now. Being favored by Sima Bo is equivalent to being the master of the harem. Now that Wang Yun is pregnant, it is impossible to satisfy Sima Bo. Then she is the only concubine left besides Wang Yun. woman?

Jie'er leaned close to Ling Xinrong's ear and whispered a few mysterious words, Ling Xinru said without thinking after listening, "No, this method definitely won't work, and it's not like you don't know how many women in the harem pretend to be Concubine Qiao Look, go to seduce the emperor, but all of them died unexpectedly. I don’t want to anger the emperor.” She has been with Sima Bo for many years anyway, and of course understands that Sima Bo’s taboo is not to be touched. Even if she wants to get close to Sima Bo , and will not use this trick.

"Your Majesty, didn't this slave girl ask her to pretend to be Concubine Qiao? What this servant girl meant was to do what she liked. Didn't the Emperor have to go to the Wenxi Palace that was burned into ruins every night? Where did the Emperor go? What did the Empress go? What are you doing? The emperor will only look at the empress differently, and will never hurt the empress," Jie'er said patiently, she was not a court lady next to Ling Xinrong, but this time Sima Bo ordered all the concubines to leave the palace, She is the dowry maid of one of the concubines, and of course she has to leave with those concubines, but she doesn't want to just come to the palace for nothing, and she doesn't want to go back to be someone else's slave, she believes that as long as she stays in the palace, she will definitely She was famous, that's why she came here to beg Ling Xinrong to take her in. Seeing that she was smart and witty, Ling Xinrong kept her.

Ling Xinrong nodded her head, her eyes glowed with excitement, she looked at Jie'er happily and said: "Sure enough, Jie'er! You! It's just that it's too late to come to Bengong's side. If you came to Bengong's side earlier, you should How wonderful! If I am favored by the emperor this time, I will definitely reward you a lot," she was now thinking about how to get Sima Bo's favor, ignoring the greed in Jie'er's eyes, Wan didn't expect that she ended up making a wedding dress for someone else.

The night was so quiet, a white figure kept dancing among the ruins, her dancing posture was seductive, sometimes like a flying swallow taking off, sometimes like a peacock spreading its tail, it was a sexy dance that would make any man's heart flutter when he saw it.

This dance is already very charming, but what is even more charming than the dance is the woman playing the piano. She is dressed in white and snowy, with only an inconspicuous beaded flower on her head, willow-leaf eyebrows, Danfeng eyes, and a small cherry-like mouth. At this time, an intoxicating song is being sung, "Life is short, getting to know each other is rare, there is no fate in this life, and we will meet in the next life. You only know that you are sad for the concubine, but you don't know that the concubine is right by your side. The concubine is a fish, and you are water. Can the fish ever get out of the boiling water, if you have the heart, you will know that the concubine is right next to you, by your side." The player who plays the piano is Jie'er. When she saw a black figure approaching in the distance, the smile on the corner of her mouth widened. Continue to sing her beautiful singing voice.

Sima Bo was standing in the distance, the song didn't have much connotation, but it sang to his heart, as if he said that he and Qiao Xi were the same, the singing stopped slowly, and Ling Xinrong, who was dancing, was also panting tiredly, but When she saw Sima Bo standing not far away, she swallowed all the bitterness in her heart. She gracefully walked up to Sima Bo and saluted, "My concubine sees the emperor." At the same time, she secretly glanced at Sima Bo. Bo showed no signs of getting angry, and she was relieved, she didn't think that Jie'er's method would really work.

"Who told you to come here?" Sima Bo asked blankly, with some indifference in his voice. Since the fire, he had issued an order that the Wenxi Palace was not allowed to be rebuilt. He was afraid of seeing the rebuilt Wenxi Palace. , without Qiao Xi's Wenxi Palace, even if it was rebuilt, it would have no meaning to him.

Ling Xinrong said calmly: "The concubine misses Concubine Qiao, remembers the time she was with Concubine Qiao, and was afraid that Concubine Qiao would be alone here, so she came to accompany Concubine Huang," as she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks instantly She was already prepared, and answered Sima Bo's questions like a stream, but her tears were not for Qiao Xi, but because she hadn't seen Sima Bo's excitement for a long time.

"It's rare that you have the heart, get up!" After Sima Bo finished speaking, he strode up to Jie'er who was playing the piano, looked at the woman in white with light makeup, and seemed to see the shadow of Qiao Xi on her body, "Xi'er, "He couldn't help calling out in a soft voice, and only his Qiao Xi didn't need any decorations, and was still so beautiful.

Jie'er got up slowly, walked up to Sima Bo and bowed, "My servant, Jie'er, sees the emperor." She knew that Sima Bo was looking at her, and at this moment her palms were sweating from tension, but she managed to suppress the tension in her heart , without waiting for Sima Bo to speak, she slowly raised her head and looked at Sima Bo. When she saw Sima Bo's handsome face, her heart beat faster. She had never seen such a handsome man. Gain and loss.

Ling Xinrong, who was on the side, saw Jie'er's actions, and instantly understood that she was being used by Jie'er, her soft black eyes instantly became stern, "Bold servant girl, dare to look directly at Shengyan, come here, pull down and beat me hard!" Fifty boards," she never showed mercy to those who plotted against her, let alone the court lady in front of her.

Jie'er didn't dare to panic at all. She still looked at Sima Bo boldly. In fact, her heart was jumping with fright. If Sima Bo didn't help her, she would die. Tonight she was carrying My head is blocked.

Until the guard stepped forward and pressed Jie'er, Sima Bo still didn't speak. Jie'er knew in her heart that her wishful thinking was wrong this time, because she had already been pushed away by the guard, and Sima Bo didn't say anything. She turned her head and gave Sima Bo a desperate look.

Just this one glance reminded Sima Bo of Qiao Xi. When Qiao Xi was in the fire, she must have been so desperate. She must have thought that he could let her go. "Wait a minute, let her go."

Sima Bo's voice, Jie'er, is undoubtedly her life-saving medicine. She was ecstatic at this moment, but she said calmly, "What else is there for the emperor?" She has been doing her homework since Qiao Xi's death. Her behavior imitated every word and deed of Qiao Xi, and she believed that Sima Bo would definitely take her away.

But Ling Xinrong's face was turning green at this moment, he walked up to Sima Bo, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the servant will be punished for doing something wrong, and don't forgive her easily." How could she let Jie'er's plan succeed, if Jie'er Ji Meng succeeded, wouldn't she become the laughing stock of the palace?If you can't attract the emperor, you can make a wedding dress for others.

"Okay, needless to say, your name is Jie'er, right! Come with me," Sima Bo said, then turned and left.

And the joyful smile on Jie'er's face could no longer be hidden, she walked up to Ling Xinrong with a smug look on her face, "Your Majesty, go to bed early tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back to serve your Majesty, this servant will leave," she chuckled after finishing speaking to leave.

Ling Xingrong stood there expressionless. At this time, the anger in her heart was burning wildly, but she couldn't find an outlet to vent it. She just felt dizzy, then closed her eyes, and fell to the ground.

"Niangniang Niangniang" was in chaos immediately, the eunuchs and maids who came with Ling Xinrong hurriedly carried Ling Xingrong away.
