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

Chapter 531 Life and Death Crisis (3)
The empress dowager's face was not very good-looking, and she said slowly: "What is the queen's intention in bringing her into the palace? It is not difficult to guess. The emperor was willing to show her kindness, and made her a concubine at once. Naturally, it is to suppress your limelight. The ancestors also heard a little bit that you were sick and refused to go out, but you just hid like this, or were you bullied to come to the door?"

Tears welled up in Qingchen's eyes, not entirely to win the sympathy of the ancestors, but also because of the partial protection in the majestic tone of the Empress Dowager, "The ancestors can see through everything." Yes, the concubine admires the concubine so much. The concubine came to ask the ancestor to favor the concubine. The emperor accepted how he punished the concubine. He only asked the concubine to see that the concubine always served the emperor with all his heart. Come on, bestow grace on this concubine, let Jin Xin die, she really made a mistake unintentionally."

The empress dowager nodded lightly, and said meaningfully: "Concubine Li, even if the emperor doesn't say anything, the ancestors know that he is the same as Xiao Jue, and Xie Wanyi has never been forgotten in his heart, but this Wanyi is no longer the same as before. That Wanyi is gone. The emperor will hold her in the palm of his hand if he lost it and regained it. In all fairness, are you jealous?"

Qingchen rolled her lips shyly, and said calmly: "The concubine dare not lie to the old ancestors, the concubine really envies her childhood sweetheart with the emperor, but that's all. Everyone thinks that the concubine is because of her appearance. Concubine Li is the one who is valued so much by the emperor. In fact, the concubine knows in his heart that there is no reason for this, but this is not the most important reason. The emperor has concubines in his heart. As long as he treats the concubine well With such a sliver of sincerity, the concubine will do her part well and will never dare to trouble the emperor.

As for resentment due to jealousy, and then red-eyed to fight and snatch it, to frame it by any means, the concubine can't do such a thing.If the emperor despises his concubines one day, even if his concubines count all the concubines in the harem, he still won't like his concubines, and will only make more mistakes and be more disgusted by him.

He Shuyi once said a word to the concubine before, and the concubine remembered it deeply. She said, "If you can't get the emperor's favor, you must get his respect." Concubine and concubine, but the only one who doesn't want to be a jealous concubine, isn't it the most painful thing to be jealous of others? "

Qingchen knew very well that in front of her ancestors, her petty thoughts were unnecessary and she couldn't hide them at all, so she might as well speak her mind honestly.

The empress dowager's penetrating eyes kept looking at her, seeing that she looked calm and showed no signs of evasion, and what she said was her only choice. It seems that she has already thought clearly about how to go in the future up.

The Empress Dowager said comfortingly: "Don't blame the old ancestor for speaking directly. I was also afraid that you would be fooled by jealousy and would do stupid things. Now I feel relieved to hear you say that. You are a sensible child. It's not easy to be able to clearly know where to go. Okay, you go back first. Madam Xia has been caught in the cold for the past two days and can't come over to serve. I think you are a smart girl. Let her go first. Stay here to run errands and do odd jobs in place of Nanny Xia, and wait in this Yongshou Palace for two days."

Qingchen hurriedly knelt down gratefully and said: "The great kindness of the ancestors, my concubine will never forget it, I will go back to receive the punishment, and I will never dare to complain." Then he pushed the tearful and dazed Jin Heart, "thank you soon."

Only then did Jin Xin understand what the Empress Dowager meant, and kowtowed while sobbing: "My servant thanked the Empress Dowager for her kindness, this servant will definitely serve the Empress Dowager well, in order to repay the great kindness of my ancestors."

When Qing Chen came out of Yongshou Palace, he felt a lot more relaxed. The old ancestor left him to serve her dearly, just to protect her from harm.

Shicai and Jin Xin came here in a hurry and didn't bring anyone else with them, and at this moment, Yun Lan and Jin Xiu came to Yongshou Palace to pick her up, seeing that Jin Xin didn't come out, Yun Lan asked a little worriedly: "Your Majesty, is Jin Xin her? "

"She's fine, the old ancestor just left her to serve him for a few days." Now that she's relaxed, she feels a little weak. The sweat-soaked little coat feels uncomfortable against her body, and when the cold wind blows, she can't help but feel sleepy. With a shiver, she asked Yun Lan: "Where is the emperor, must he be in Bixiao Palace now?"

Yun Lan's expression was not very good, she nodded lightly, "The emperor knows that the empress has come to the Yongshou Palace, and asked the servants to pick you up. The empress is also here, and the empress must be prepared."

"Yun Lan, how do you think the emperor will punish me?" The queen was not surprised at her. After all, this is not a trivial matter. , or demote my status? In fact, these are insignificant compared to Jinxin, I just need to keep what I think is important. Concubine Li must have said a lot of bad things behind our backs, and the emperor must be at this moment In a fit of anger, the empress naturally favors her, you see, we really don't have even half an advantage."

Yun Lan was also frowning at this time, but said firmly: "Even if the emperor gets angry again, he will definitely give the empress a chance to defend herself. As long as the empress makes things clear, the emperor will decide who is who and who is not."

"I hope so. If even he doesn't believe me, aren't we besieged on all sides?"

She was still wearing embroidered shoes when she came out, and she didn't bother to change them in her panic. The way to Yongshou Palace was to save time and she walked on a small path. Before the place could be cleaned, her shoes were already soaked in snow.

The cold feeling comes from the soles of the feet. If you step on countless fine steel needles, it will be numb, itchy and cold, but there is no time to change it. The longer the emperor waits, the angrier he will be. She is afraid that she will even have the opportunity to defend herself No more.

In Bixiao Palace, the Empress rarely looked over with a serious face and even a bit of reproach. Xiao Jun's expression was cold, and his thoughts were always hard to guess. Qingchen didn't know if he was suppressing the anger in his heart at this moment. Still really no trace of anger.

She knelt down slowly and performed a big salute, "The concubine sees the emperor and empress."

The atmosphere in the room seemed to be extremely cold. After her words fell, there was such a moment of silence in the hall, it was so quiet that even people's heartbeats were about to stop.

Xiao Jun ordered indifferently: "Get up and talk."

Qingchen knelt on the ground without moving, and said in a low voice: "The concubine dare not, the concubine Li was injured in the concubine's palace, even if it was an accident, the concubine always did not take good care of her, the concubine is punished by the emperor."
