Ten Miles of Red Makeup

Chapter 117
Uneasy Lin Muhua got into the sedan chair lightly, with many thoughts in her mind. She thought she had always been clear-headed, but this time, she couldn't understand what the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian did.

Yuan Qingwu, who was ordered together, was also heartbroken, whether it was luck or misfortune.

In Cheng'an Palace, Seqin took care of Empress Dowager Xiaoxian to go to bed after taking care of everything. Along the way, Empress Dowager Xiaoxian's expression was very dignified, and Seqin asked, "What is Empress Dowager worried about?"

The Empress Dowager Xiaoxian who was in deep thought raised her eyes slightly, with a heavy look in them, she said, "Seqin, you know."

Seqin nodded slightly, and said: "The empress dowager's move is still advisable."

"Oh?" Empress Dowager Xiaoxian asked suspiciously, "Is it really advisable?"

"Since Mr. Zuo Xiang is an old minister of the previous dynasty, his ability and influence are higher than Mr. Right's. In addition, the Jinggui concubine who is in the palace is quite popular with the Queen Mother. This is enough for Mr. Right to be wary of. This time, the Empress Dowager ordered Concubine Jing to handle the affairs of the harem, but Concubine Yuan Gui was to assist her. , Mr. Right Prime Minister will definitely not be more united with left and right." Seqin said all the pros and cons in one word, but calmly, it is rare to have such a clear mentality, and can rationally analyze the pros and cons of things, she She was the one who stayed with the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian for the longest time, and she had seen many storms, big and small, which also caused her to see things more thoroughly than others.

Empress Dowager Xiaoxian smiled slightly and said, "Seqin is getting smarter."

Seqin lowered her head slightly, and said softly: "Since the empress dowager has already understood, why are you still worried?"

"Aijia understands this, but the development of things may not be according to Aijia's consciousness. Aijia is letting the Queen's power fall aside, but it is hard to guarantee that one day, Yu'er will hate Aijia." Her worry is exactly the same. One word, how can someone who has not experienced it understand it so thoroughly.

Seqin said: "It's not that the Empress Dowager is worried, but right now, what the Empress Dowager has done is not all bad for the Empress Dowager. At least, she has removed the title of special favor. In the current harem, the newly promoted The number of people gradually increased, and it can be regarded as temporarily covering up the matter of the empress dowager." After a moment of silence, Seqin went on to say: "Concubine Jing is not favored, and all the gifts she received are thanks to the empress dowager. , So, given her rights, she doesn't have a bigger backing that she can hold securely, she still has to rely on the Queen Mother, Concubine Jing is a smart master, she must have a heart." Seqin followed Xiao Xiao Those around Empress Dowager Xian naturally knew about Empress Xiaoxian's plan, although not all of what she said was true, but it was not necessarily not all.

The Empress Dowager Xiaoxian sat silently in contemplation, gently took off the armor on her fingers, and said instead: "Is Seqin also an exquisite heart?"

Seqin's face changed slightly, and she immediately understood, saying: "Your servant understands, the empress dowager can rest assured." She replied very respectfully, a servant, she can guess the master's thoughts, but she can't understand the master's thoughts, this is in the palace taboo.

Taking a deep breath, the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian said, "Who did you say informed me just now?"

Seqin leaned into Empress Dowager Xiaoxian's ear and whispered something, Empress Dowager Xiaoxian nodded knowingly, the silvery moonlight outside covered the snow-white ground, I don't know if it was the color of the snow that dyed the whole night white or this The black night sets off the whiteness of the snow.

In Cheng'an Palace, the dormitory of Empress Dowager Xiaoxian has been turned off, and everything is calm on the surface.

The next day, the imperial decree for Lin Muhua to temporarily take charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace had come down, and after it was announced to all the palaces, after this established Lin Muhua's power, Gu Qingcheng undoubtedly lost power even more. In between, it's so lively.

In contrast, Shangyang Palace was much deserted. Due to the majesty of Ning Yu last night, everyone did not dare to neglect, and respected Gu Qingcheng without any overstepping.

It's just that this kind of special treatment will undoubtedly embarrass everyone even more. She is still the queen, but she no longer has the power to handle matters in the sixth house. Of course, this may be a shame for everyone, but for Gu Qingcheng, she has nothing to do, she just happens to save the trip to the muddy water in the Sixth Palace, why not do it?
But for Gu Qingcheng, it is so leisurely to calm down and enjoy the snow scenery, and lazily bask in the sun.

However, in two days, Gu Qingcheng's health has recovered. Aoki came here once during the period. He didn't say anything extra, but said that if he wanted to survive, he still listened to him. When he said that sentence righteously, Gu Qingcheng Qingcheng just wanted to sneer in his heart, let me ask, does she really have a chance of surviving?She doesn't know why, so many people don't like her, she just wants to be the simplest version of herself and live the simplest life, she never thought of being the supreme woman, and never thought of being a beauty and a disaster for the country and the people, but all of this , Why is fate arranged in this way, what she despises is what everyone loves, what she despises is the pursuit of everyone.

During the period, Ning Yu came a lot, but almost stayed in Shangyang Palace for a while, and then left with an excuse. The reason was that there were many things in the previous dynasty, and the Taohuamen incident intensified. There were indeed many headaches for him. She was thinking about how low Ning Yu's bottom line would be for her. In the past half month, he has hardly asked her about what Gu Qingcheng has suffered. There are no words of concern. There is a natural jump between them. After that embarrassing question, including asking Lin Muhua to handle the affairs of the harem.

Gu Qingcheng feels that Ning Yu's silence is a bit out of his nature. Of course, this may be due to his filial piety. After all, the person closest to him has never been her, but his mother, the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian. Against the wishes of his own mother to protect a woman who wanted her life at any time?On this point, Gu Qingcheng never guessed, because she never had the desire to know.

When the lanterns first came on, the glazed palace lanterns illuminated the already luxurious and majestic palace even more magnificently. The lights were dim, and Ning Yu's tall figure blocked everything outside in front of the concealed door. For her arrival, Gu Qingcheng Quietly, faintly, Ning Yu said: "It's such a cold day, why is there no charcoal fire in your palace?" He knew that she was afraid of the cold, so the charcoal fire in Shangyang Palace was always the most abundant.

With a smile on the corner of Gu Qingcheng's mouth, he said: "The things that warm people's hearts are never dead objects, but the things that can warm people's bodies are those that are completely burnt. The emperor thinks I should warm my heart or warm my body." ?”
