Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 412
The first person was Fang Rong, the imperial guard next to Mingong.

"The widow read the secret report you posted around Quetu, saying that after returning to Hulao Pass, Quetu has been cautious in his words and deeds, and there has been no movement. He even took the initiative to pick up Xinyue from Xinzheng. It is said that Xinyue is also pregnant. The widow sees that he has no covetous heart for the queen, so I don't want his life for the time being. Besides, this Xi Rong is rampant, and now I still need someone like Dig Tu to be loyal. Besides, the widow has one thing I don’t know about them.” Ming Gong sighed with his hands behind his back.

"Your Majesty, the servants have fulfilled their mission, and they have been secretly monitoring Qutu's every move all the time. If there is any strange intention or change in Qutu, they must not escape the eyes of the servants, but the servants want to say something. It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one person. Since ancient times, most of the generals in charge of the army will seek to usurp the throne, the king should think twice." Fang Rong kowtowed.

"The throne of the widow will never allow anyone to threaten or interfere. The country of the widow is a country of iron. Everyone must obey the widow, because the widow is the emperor. Fang Rong, do you understand? In the future, you only need to obey the orders of the widow , you are not allowed to make any more trouble!" Ming Gong swept Fang Rong's face majestically.

"Yes!" Fang Rong hurriedly responded.

"Axi, how did this happen? The Jianjia Palace has been confined for so long, why haven't I seen Xue'er once? Isn't she a concubine? Why don't you come to me first?" Jianjia Palace in the deep courtyard , the lonely and lost Bao Si put down the book in her hand, and suddenly asked Ah Xi who was beside her softly.

Axi couldn't help trembling, and quickly comforted Baosi with a pleasant face: "My lord, since she returned to the palace, she seems to be a different person, she has matured a lot, and besides, she is still pregnant. Living in Jiangxue Pavilion is naturally not as convenient as it used to be."

Bao Si felt that it was reasonable, so she couldn't help but nodded happily, and told Axi again: "Axi, Xueer is pregnant, counting it, it has been six months, you go to the imperial hospital, and you must ask the imperial doctor Zhou to treat Xueer well. Prescribe a few anti-fetal medicines, the most important thing now is to let the baby be born safely."

"Yes, my lord, this servant will definitely do it." Ah Xi secretly wiped away her hot tears, and responded with a pretended smile.

Along the stone road all the way, I left Jianjia Palace and was about to return to Shuilong Shuren Palace. Halfway, I heard Huiyue in the palace talking to the maids of other palaces from a distance. Yue lightly patted Hui Yue's shoulder, and asked carefully: "Hui Yue, aren't you also in Jiangxue Pavilion? Tell me, how did Little Master Xue disappear?"

"Sister." Hui Yue couldn't help sobbing, took Axi's arm, came to a small forest, and whispered: "Sister Axi, don't you know? Ban Ai laughed, but the king's anger towards our Jianjia Palace has not subsided, so the king stays in Jiangxue Pavilion almost every day. The little master Xue once swore to the king that as long as he can use his life to do something that is beneficial to the king. It is a big matter for the king, whether the king can forgive the empress, the king did not think too much, and agreed to the little master Xue."

"Why is Little Master Xue so foolish? He gave his life in exchange for the king's change of heart. After all, it's a waste of time to fetch water from a bamboo basket, and it's in vain for those guys who spread rumors and make trouble." Ah Xi frowned.

"However, something happened in the middle of the court. Boding of Xirong, who invaded the frontier, sent an envoy to ask the king to choose a concubine or princess to marry in Xirong. For the sake of the safety of the capital, the king had no choice but to agree to the marriage, but no one in the palace was willing to go out, but it was the little master Xue who insisted on agreeing to take the risk. , I was in Little Master Xue’s bedroom with my own eyes, watching Little Master Xue cut her wrist and committed suicide, the bright red snow flowed all over the ground, not only the adults were gone, even the child had a miscarriage! What a crime!” Hui Yue burst into tears Eyes full.

"Your Majesty! How could he be so cruel, Your Majesty? Agreeing to marry Concubine Xue who is pregnant?" Axi burst into tears.

In front of the jade railing outside the Shuilong Shuren Hall, the melancholy Ming Gong folded his hands behind his back, and slowly talked to Cheng Rong who was about to go out to Beijing to proclaim the decree: "Cheng Aiqing, tell me, are you doing something wrong? , The widow took Xue'er back on purpose, and pampered her like that intentionally, in order to neglect the queen. Unexpectedly, in order to help the queen change the widow's heart, Xue'er committed suicide like that. If the widow was not selfish, Xue'er would not Death, if the widow is not cold-blooded, maybe this bloody case will not happen, and the widow will not lose another flesh and blood so quickly?"

"Your Majesty, what is crime? In fact, your Majesty's daily decisions will determine the life and death of certain subjects. The power of the Majesty is too concentrated. There is not even a prime minister in this dynasty. But Majesty, you have to believe in yourself, as long as There is still a glimmer of hope in the king's heart, and that will surely turn the crisis into safety." Cheng Rong tried his best to persuade him.

"Well, Cheng Rong, in the final analysis, it is only you and the widow who have really met each other. The widow has governed for more than 20 years and has never been so lonely as today. I hope you will definitely help the widow." Mingong watched happily With Cheng Rong.

"Sister Axi, it's not good. The young master just heard the news of the death of the young master Xue, and suddenly passed out!" Axi was wandering outside the Shuilong Shuren Hall when he suddenly saw Mingyue panting and running towards him with a pale face. In front of her, talking nonsense in panic, she couldn't help being icy cold for a moment. Regardless of Mingyue's support, she hurried all the way to Jianjia Palace without looking back.

In Jianjia Palace, there was a lot of crying, the pale Bao Si passed out on the bed, unconscious, the blood stains on the ground were shocking, the anxious Axi held Mingyue's hand tightly, and asked hurriedly: "What is going on with Mingyue?" What's the matter? Why did the little master suddenly become like this?"

"Sister Axi, both are imperial physicians who just took medicine, and suddenly mentioned something about Concubine Xue's funeral, the young master became anxious and kept asking." Mingyue regretted, "It's all my fault, why didn't I take precautions just now?" Follow that doctor."

"Someone must have done this deliberately. If the young master knows the truth, he will never forgive the king." Axi became anxious.

"Then what should we do?" Mingyue was at a loss.
