The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 1299
But a few days later, Qingchen suddenly got news from Shu Xuan, saying that the emperor sent Xiao Jue, the king of Liang, to quell the remnants of the Yu Kingdom. poisonous...

When Yun Lan told her the news, the ginseng tea in Qing Chen's hand fell to the ground with a bang, and she finally understood the meaning of what the emperor said to her that day.She didn't doubt his sincerity, but she didn't expect this day to come so soon.

Qingchen stood in front of the window in a daze, holding the window lattice with one hand, feeling uncomfortable in every possible way, but didn't know what he could do for Xiao Jue.

It is very clear who shot that arrow.When the ancestor was around, the emperor would naturally tolerate Xiao Jue more in order not to make her sad, but now that the ancestor is gone, if the emperor really can't tolerate him, there are reasons and excuses to convict him.

Liangdi embraced his own self-respect, and after the Yu Kingdom was destroyed, the territory was three times larger than before. It was already the most powerful and wealthy place among all the vassal kings, and he was already so powerful that he became a heart problem for the emperor.

But Qingchen also knew that this was only one of the reasons. In the final analysis, what the emperor was most angry with was Xiao Jue's betrayal of him during the palace change.He knew clearly that the emperor's plan was to cheat Xiao Hong into cheating his death, but he still took him away. In those two years, the emperor's resentment was simmering in his heart day and night, and this tone was always pressed in his heart. He is the emperor, how could it be true? So forget it?
But she couldn't do anything, knowing the knot in the emperor's heart, but she couldn't even say a word to excuse Xiao Jue.She knew that anyone in this world could intercede for Xiao Jue, but she could not.The more she defended him, the more the emperor hated him.

Qingchen stood in front of the window in a daze for a long time, just in a daze by himself, heartbroken, but full of powerlessness.

She remembered what the emperor said that evening, he said that everything he did was for him and the child, she didn't understand that the emperor did this to hand over a peaceful world to Yixuan.

He was able to suppress Xiao Jue, not only because the emperor had that ability, but also because Xiao Jue had promised her that as long as she was around, he would never rebel.

But what about the future?Who can guarantee that the future Liang Wang will not have ambitions, and whether Yixuan can suppress these vassal kings is unknown, and the emperor has long been used to controlling everything. He does not allow such unknown risks to exist, so he wants to put Liang Withdraw, his thoughts are not incomprehensible to her.

As an emperor, he did nothing wrong.

Qingchen took a deep breath, suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, and asked Yun Lan, "If my guess is correct, Jing'er will come to live in the capital soon, right? Liang Wang has no sons, and Jing'er is he and Yunxi. The only child, but Jing'er's birth mother is too humble, and he is not qualified to inherit the position of the son, so unless he has made great contributions in the future, it is impossible to become a noble. At most, he will be named an idle county king in the capital. It's just an official in the court."

In this way, once King Liang passed away, there would be no one to inherit the land of Liang, and it was bound to be brought under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. The emperor's intentions were self-evident.

Yun Lan nodded and said: "We just don't know. In fact, the emperor's imperial decree to take Jing'er to the capital has already been delivered to Liangdi a month ago. Maybe it won't be long before Jing'er should enter the palace."

Qingchen smiled wryly, "Yes, it turns out that the emperor had already planned everything before coming to Nanyuan, but we were still foolishly kept in the dark."

Only now did she understand that instead of saying that the emperor came to heal his illness, it would be better to say that she was here to relieve his mood.Even if she had no love for Xiao Jue, the emperor knew very well that she couldn't bear to watch him die.Some words can't be said, so they can only be pressed in the bottom of my heart. This feeling is too painful, and this trip is simply for her to relax.

In the evening, when the emperor didn't come to have dinner with her, Qingchen knew that he already knew that he had received the news that Xiao Jue's life was in danger.I'm afraid even the existence of Shu Xuan can't be hidden from him.The man in black that night, if not her, who would be kind enough to save the prince and princess?There are only people in this palace who wish for their death, but there are very few people who suddenly have a kind heart to save others.

That night, an assassin was caught assassinating the emperor. One died and the other was injured. Qinglong was seriously injured and escaped.

When Qingchen heard about this the next day, she wanted to go to the emperor, but was stopped by Yunlan, she said: "Your Majesty, you can't go anywhere now, you can't do anything, the emperor must be furious now It's not a big crime for you to keep a secret guard. The emperor can turn a blind eye and pretend that he doesn't know. After all, the empress is only for self-protection.

But these hidden guards are from the King of Liang. If the emperor knows that you use his people and has been in private contact with His Royal Highness Liang, what will the emperor think?Shu Xuan went to assassinate the emperor for the sake of the old master, but have you ever thought that if the emperor's trust in the empress is not so strong, he will inevitably suspect that the empress conspired with His Royal Highness Liang Wang to usurp the throne, have you thought about this matter How serious are the consequences? "

Qingchen raised her hand to her forehead, and staggered back two steps, only feeling dizzy, the situation was so bad that for a moment, she felt so at a loss that she didn't know how to deal with it.

Yun Lan understood her mood very well, and hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, please don't worry, I heard that although the emperor captured Shu Xuan, he only locked him up and has never been interrogated. Some things, even if you understand them in your heart , but as long as the window paper is not pierced, there is room for each other. The emperor does not want people to interrogate Shu Xuan, but he does not want to make it difficult for the empress to be a man. The empress must understand the emperor's painstaking efforts. It’s unbearable anyway.”

Qingchen sat down powerlessly, she knew that the emperor would lose his temper if he captured Shu Xuan, but Shu Xuan did such a thing behind her back, so she couldn't even find any reason to save his life .

What a great crime it is to assassinate the emperor. It is really the utmost benevolence for the emperor not to implicate her.

Three days later, Shu Xuan was secretly executed, but the emperor never called her to serve him again.Qingchen made the worst plan, no matter how he dealt with her, it would be better than waiting like this.

But she went to the emperor's bedroom several times to ask to see her. Fuquan either said that the emperor had already fallen asleep, or that the emperor had gone hunting in the forest. Qingchen knew that the timing was not right and that the emperor just didn't want to see her, so she didn't force her anymore.

A few days later, there was another news from the palace, saying that King Liang had made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion, but unfortunately he was hit by a poisoned arrow and died for his country. In the end, he was only buried in the concubine cemetery not far from the tomb of King Liang.
