Reborn Lady's Scheming

384 The Finale 1
In just a few days, the sky in Shengjing changed again and again.Under circumstances that no one expected, Xuanyuan Ming ended up crippled in the end.And the biggest winner of this game is undoubtedly King Jing Xuanyuanjue.

This time, almost everyone in Shengjing turned their attention to King Jing, and suddenly became more active, and started to walk towards Prince Jing's mansion.It's a pity that King Jing stayed behind closed doors for several days and never saw any guests.

The imperial palace, the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Since Lady Qiong left, Xuanyuan Zhen seldom went to the concubine's palace.Especially the successive blows made Xuanyuan Zhen look ten years older, which was really scary.

Today, after Xuanyuan Zhen finished handling the political affairs, it was already evening.

"Unknowingly, it's already reached this hour." Xuanyuan Zhen even felt a little dizzy, and when he stood up, he felt dizzy and almost lost his footing.

The noble father-in-law who was waiting on the side quickly stood aside, in case Xuanyuan Zhen made any mistakes.

"Your Majesty, do you want to serve dinner?"

Xuanyuan Zhen squinted his eyes, and said after a while: "Forget it, let's go to Concubine Cui's palace to have a look."

Eunuch Degui responded and followed Xuanyuan Zhen, and the two walked towards Concubine Cui's palace one after the other.Since he hadn't been to the harem for a long time, the palace people who came and went saw Xuanyuan Zhen, and they all saluted with surprise on their faces.

Concubine Cui Gui also hadn't seen Xuanyuan Zhen for a long time. When she learned that he was coming, she was surprised and said to the maid next to her: "The emperor is here, let the small kitchen add more dishes. Also, take out the thousand-year-old ginseng from our palace and cook soup. "

"Yes, empress." The maid was surprised, the thousand-year-old ginseng was the most precious thing of Concubine Cui Gui, how could she be willing to take it out all at once.However, the master's order only needs to be executed.

"The concubine has seen the emperor."

As soon as Xuanyuan Zhen entered the back room, Concubine Cui quickly saluted.

Xuanyuan Zhen looked at Concubine Cui Gui, who was dressed in an ordinary half-worn palace attire, and even her makeup was not very delicate, obviously she didn't know that he would come.

"Is there something on this concubine's face?" Concubine Cui was a little embarrassed when Xuanyuan Zhen saw it.

Xuanyuan shook his head: "I just think..."

"What does the emperor think?" Cui Guifei asked.

Xuanyuan Zhen said flatly: "You and I are both getting old, it's not good if you don't accept your old age."

"That's right, the concubine is already old, and she is no longer what she used to be." Concubine Cui Gui was also sad.Human life is so short, she was just a girl in her teenage years back then, and she was still imagining what her future husband would be like.But now, the time has come to the present in a flash.

Xuanyuan Zhen stretched out his hand suddenly, stroking Concubine Cui Gui's face: "But I still remember your appearance when you were young."

"Why did your majesty suddenly say such sad words?" Concubine Cui smiled, "The concubine sees you haggard, and has already ordered the small kitchen to add more food, why don't you set the meal now?"

"Also." Xuanyuan Zhen and Concubine Cui went to the dining room.

Dishes were quickly brought out one by one, and Xuanyuan Zhen liked everything.But Father Degui had to try every dish first, and Xuanyuan Zhen would only eat it when he was free.

The last dish was soup. Xuanyuan Zhen smelled the special smell and said in surprise: "What kind of soup is this? It smells delicious."

"This is a soup with thousand-year-old ginseng as the main ingredient. The concubine specially took it out to nourish the emperor. It is said that after drinking it, it can prolong life." Cui Guifei laughed.

The noble father-in-law at the side said: "Your Majesty, please give this soup to the servants to drink first?"

Concubine Cui Gui felt displeasure on her face.

"You slave, will Concubine Cui Gui harm me?" Xuanyuan Zhen said so, but he really didn't take the bowl from the table.

Concubine Cui got angry and drank most of the soup in front of Xuanyuan Zhen, then said: "Eunuch Degui, should you rest assured this time?"

Eunuch Degui stood aside without saying a word.

Xuanyuan Zhen picked up the soup bowl on the table and said, "Don't be angry, he's doing it for my own good."

Concubine Cui said calmly: "This concubine understands, I should drink this soup by myself."

"It doesn't matter, I will also taste the taste of this thousand-year-old ginseng." Xuanyuan Zhen drank it all in one gulp.

Concubine Cui asked, "What do you think of this soup, Your Majesty?"

"It tastes good, give me another bowl." I don't know if it's a psychological effect, or what, after Xuanyuan Zhen drank the soup, he felt refreshed.

After the meal, Xuanyuan Zhen didn't intend to stay in Concubine Cui's palace, and drove back directly to the palace.Along the way, he kept talking about the past with Father-in-law Degui, and fell asleep in the end.

"Your Majesty, this is due to being too tired. You move gently, and escort the Emperor to the bedroom with me." Eunuch Degui lowered his voice.

Xuanyuan Zhen still woke up, but he was too tired, and his nerves were tense for a long time, which made him exhausted.Therefore, even if he wakes up, he is unwilling to move and let the palace people serve him.

I slept until midnight, tossing and turning on the dragon bed.

The little eunuch who was watching the night stood up quickly, but saw that Xuanyuan Zhen was about to fall under the bed!
He hurried over to help him, but was vomited all over by Xuanyuan Zhen.And after vomiting, Xuanyuan Zhen fell unconscious.

"Come on, hurry up and call the imperial physician!" The little eunuch turned pale with fright.

The imperial doctor came very quickly, and immediately gave Xuanyuan Zhen an injection. After a long time, he slowly woke up, just babbling, making people wonder what he was talking about.

"Quickly go and call Degui Eunuch."

I don't know which little eunuch said it, but someone called him Degui father-in-law right away.Seeing the emperor's appearance, Degui father-in-law asked the imperial physician, "How is the emperor?"

"It's really hard to say." The imperial physician looked embarrassed.

While the two were talking, Concubine Cui Gui had already arrived after hearing the news.Seeing Xuanyuan Zhen lying unconscious on the bed, she immediately knelt beside the bed and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

A moment later, under the reluctant treatment of the imperial physician, Xuanyuan Zhen barely woke up and spoke in Concubine Cui Guifei's ear.

Concubine Cui Gui didn't know what she heard, she stood up suddenly, and said coldly: "The emperor has an order, you all stand down!"

If the emperor made any mistake, Concubine Cui Gui was undoubtedly the most powerful person in the whole palace.Therefore, everyone weighed it, and in order not to offend Concubine Cui Gui, they withdrew one after another.

Only the noble father-in-law did not step down.

Concubine Cui Gui said coldly: "Eunuch Degui, didn't you hear what I said just now?"

Eunuch Degui shook his head: "Your Majesty, I didn't hear what the Emperor said."

"Very good, you dare to question what I said, someone, and pull this person down!" Concubine Cui's attitude was even tougher.In addition to her status, no one dared to resist, so she had no choice but to invite the noble father-in-law down.

Immediately, only Concubine Cui Gui and Xuanyuan Zhen were left in the entire bedroom.

By the time concubine De and other concubines rushed to the emperor's bedroom, it was already too late.Because they just rushed over, Concubine Cui Gui had already come out of the bedroom.

"Your Majesty, you are dead."

All the concubines immediately knelt on the ground, weeping unceasingly.It wasn't Xuanyuan Zhen's death that they were crying about.But after Xuanyuan Zhen's death, some of them had a hard time.

Especially Concubine De, she has always been at odds with Concubine Cui.If Xuanyuan Jue really became the emperor, then she would have no choice but to die.Therefore, she is crying worse than anyone else at the moment, and the eyes she looks at Concubine Cui Gui are becoming more sinister.

When everyone was about to cry, Concubine Cui said: "Come here, open the palace door, and invite the cabinet ministers to enter the palace to discuss matters. In addition, call the princes to the palace!"

"Yes!" The palace people knew the importance of the matter, and quickly acted according to Concubine Cui Guifei's order.

, Concubine Cui Gui is also an old man in the palace, and she has her own confidants for a long time.On this day, her cronies also played a huge role.

"Cui Guifei, what do you mean?" Concubine De looked at Concubine Cui with a cold expression.

Concubine Cui looked at Concubine De contemptuously: "Bold! As a Concubine De, do you dare to challenge this palace and the emperor?! This is the emperor's will, how dare you disobey it?!"

"The emperor's will?" Concubine De obviously didn't believe it.

"Come here, send Concubine De back to the palace! Without my palace's order, I can't leave my bedroom half a step!" At such a time, Cui Guifei showed her tough methods.

Concubine De didn't expect Concubine Cui Gui to dare to treat her like this, she said angrily: "Don't dare!"

"Why don't I dare. You have already been banned by the emperor, yet you still dare to stand here. Someone, pull her down, I don't want to see you." Concubine Cui looked at Concubine De with disgust, Obviously, the other party has not figured out the reality.

The palace people hesitated for a while, and immediately dragged Concubine De down.After all, one level of official rank crushes people to death, and although Concubine Cui Gui is only one level higher than Concubine De, the power is still above her.Especially the current Concubine Cui Gui, who is inextricably linked with King Jing, is something that no one can afford to offend.

The strongest concubine De in the palace was dealt with just like that.The remaining concubines dare not say a word.Concubine Cui Gui was very satisfied with this state, then knelt in front of Xuanyuan Zhen's bedroom, and started crying.

After two full hours, everyone was present.Concubine Cui asked the other concubines to go back, and stood alone in Xuanyuan Zhen's bedroom.

The ministers and the princes all knelt in the bedroom and burst into tears.Xuanyuan Zhen's death was not a good thing for them either.

Xuanyuan Jue also knelt in it, and after crying, everyone changed into mourning clothes.

"Before the emperor left, he left the edict. Now, please read the imperial edict, Mr. Wang, in public." Concubine Cui took out the edict from her sleeve and handed it to Lord Wang.

Lord Wang looked serious, and after receiving the will, he began to read it.

The content of the posthumous edict is a bit long, but when it comes to everything, there is only one meaning, that is, King Xuanyuanjue of Lijing is the heir apparent.

And the next thing to do is to mourn for the emperor.

On the first seven days of the emperor's life, the entire city of Shengjing was dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, and the whole city was howling.But after crying, it means that the new king is about to enter the palace and become the new emperor.

Xuanyuan Jue had waited too long for this day, but he finally got it.
