Chapter 211 Prince Consort: The Princess Scratches the Cancer
But within one night, Concubine Luo heard the news that Xuanyuan Ming had left the next day.

She was not surprised by this, and Xifu didn't take it seriously either. She accompanied Mo Xin, catching all kinds of bugs and Wucai to eat along the way. of.

After a few months, when Concubine Luo left Beijing for the south of Shu, it was midsummer, but now when she came back, it was already early winter.

The capital city even had the first light snowfall one after another.

On the day when Concubine Luo entered the city, the sky was clear, she did not rush to the palace as before, but went back to the princess mansion, took a rest, and waited until early the next morning before boarding a golden chariot and entering the palace .

In Yanbo Palace, the Empress Dowager received the news last night and had been waiting for it for a long time, but just at the right time, as soon as Concubine Luo stepped into the palace, the Empress Dowager on the seat hurriedly waved to her, "Mimi, Princess Jiaojiao from the Ai Family Come and have a look with Aijia, but you lost weight?"

Concubine Luo stepped forward with a smile, she was used to being obsessed with the Queen of Heaven, "Mimi really misses Queen Mother so much."

The Empress Dowager nodded her forehead reproachfully, "If you miss Aijia, why would you disobey the emperor's decree and insist on going to the battlefield for a while, Aijia's well-behaved princess, how can she endure such suffering."

As she said that, the empress dowager, who had always been dignified and powerful in front of people, had red eyes. She took Concubine Luo's hand and opened her palm, but she didn't see calluses, so she felt relieved a little.

"Talk about it yourself, the sword has no eyes, and it's a very chaotic battlefield. If you have a contingency, what should you do with the queen mother and your brother?" The queen mother is determined not to let Concubine Luo leave the capital again.

Concubine Luo knew in her heart that her mother and elder brother only wanted to pamper her for the rest of their lives, but there were some things that she had to do since she knew the way forward.

"Mimi understands," she comforted the queen mother, "not only the queen mother and elder brother want to spoil Mimi for the rest of their lives, but Mimi also wants to do something else for her mother and elder brother."

She paused, "Cousin Zhao is in a difficult situation at the moment, and he finally took back the Suzaku Army. How can Mimi allow others to covet him? There are still many things Mimi wants to do, and the Suzaku Army is just the first step."

The Empress Dowager sighed, she looked at Concubine Luo with a complicated expression, if possible, she only wished Concubine Luo to be a spoiled, domineering, carefree princess, and she and the emperor would still be there to fight for power and profit.

But now, looking at Concubine Luo who is becoming more and more stable, she can't help but feel sore. What kind of tribulations will she go through to grind her formerly charming princess into what she is now.

Concubine Luo didn't have much emotion, after all, her hard life was something that happened in her previous life, and compared with ordinary people, it was nothing at all.

With a straight face, she told the Queen Mother all the things that happened along the way, especially mentioning the two points of Jizhou Iron Mine and Bai Ye being in charge of the Suzaku Army.

The Empress Dowager frowned, and said worryingly, "The son-in-law is unfathomable, you can't easily make him an enemy, and you can't try to control him, you can only lure him, maybe you can make a deal."

Hearing this, Concubine Luo inexplicably remembered the absurd things that had happened between the two of them. She was reminded by others that she had also noticed that, but at those times, no matter what she said to Qin Shou, he was very easy to talk to and easy to talk to. Relentless.

The Empress Dowager didn't pay attention to Concubine Luo's expression, she said to herself, "Dark Guard Bai Ye, Ai Jia has heard about it from the Emperor, but as Tian Family's Dark Guard, he is always more reliable than others, if he is a capable , it’s fine for you to support him.”

Concubine Luo responded, thinking about Qin Shou, she suddenly lost interest. Before she entered the city, she had received a letter from Xie Liangyu.

It is said that Qin Shou has successfully captured Jizhou, and he also surrounded the land where there are iron mines to prevent others from entering and leaving at will.

And he returned to Rongzhou before yesterday.

"Mimi?" After the queen mother had finished speaking, she realized that Concubine Luo was distracted. Her expression moved, and she retreated the maid next to her. There were only mother and daughter in the whole palace, so she pulled her, "Can you be with me?" Aijia, tell me, what is Mimi thinking?"

Only then did Concubine Luo realize that there was no one else in the palace, she frowned, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Queen Mother, in your opinion, can there be a result between the son-in-law and the son-in-law?"

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager was taken aback, and then a faint cold light flashed from her eyes, but she didn't show it on her face, "Oh? Why do you say that?"

Concubine Luo couldn't answer, and she didn't know where to start.

The Empress Dowager's complexion softened slightly, "But did the son-in-law bully the princess of Ai's family all the way? Or did he do something that made you taboo?"

Concubine Luo shook her head, "I can't even tell."

She sat down on the mattress at the Empress Dowager's feet, resting her head on her knees, acting like a little girl who was attached to her, "The son-in-law is actually a pleasing son-in-law, but the current son-in-law is not too rare, but the great Yin , it must be the son-in-law who can solve it, because I don't know what to do."

The Empress Dowager caressed Concubine Luo's bun, her eyes were loving, and there was wisdom in her eyes after the world's affairs settled down, "The princess told Aijia, but still wants to be husband and wife with the son-in-law?"

Concubine Luo was picking at the beautiful peony on the skirt of the Empress Dowager, her expression blank, "Mimi doesn't know..."

The queen mother sighed, "If that's the case, let everything take its course, and time will always give you the answer you want."

Her tone was slightly restrained, and she analyzed rationally and methodically, "Aijia thinks that there are two paths. One is that if you can be ruthless, you can use the hands of the son-in-law to achieve what you want. It’s not impossible.”

When the Queen Mother said this, she looked at Concubine Luo with a serious face, but if she frowns a little, she will not say anything.

"Secondly, if he is sincere with you, if you want, you can try to accept it. Aijia only hopes that he can protect you from wandering in the future."

As someone who has experienced it, she understands the relationship between a man and a woman very well, and the first path she chose in the past, from the bottom of her heart, she did not want Concubine Luo to be like her.

Concubine Luo thought about it carefully, but she didn't tell the Queen Mother clearly, she just nodded and said, "Mimi understands."

The two mother and daughter talked about other things, and within a few words, Concubine Luo became pregnant, and when the emperor Xi Chao gave birth to the court, the three of them had a meal together.

When Concubine Luo returned to the Princess Mansion, it was already dusk, she took off her cloak when she entered the door, and Shou Yanglong quickly walked up to her.

She bowed her knees to Concubine Luo and saluted, "Princess, there are pigeons coming over calmly."

As she spoke, she took out a small folded piece of letter paper from her sleeve, and Concubine Luo took it, squinting at it with the dim light of the hexagonal maid's palace lamp under the corridor——

"My wife honey, I will never forget the farewell to Nanying in Yunzhou. I wonder if the princess still remembers it?"

Concubine Luo suddenly remembered that ridiculous night in Nanying, she sneered, rubbed the letter paper casually, threw it into the palace lantern, and burned it completely.

"Send me the rosters of the generals, soldiers, and household officials." She didn't want to spend extra thoughts on Qin Shou, so she put the matter Xie Liangyu had mentioned on the desk.

Unexpectedly, on the second day, she read the roster all night, and before she could figure out the reason from these intricate relationships, she received a second letter from Qin Shou.

This time Qin Shou didn't say anything, he just said, "Shangshu of the Household Department has a wife."

Concubine Luo immediately asked people to investigate, and sure enough, the in-law of Hubu Shangshu was found. The concubine who was about seventeen or eighteen years old, because his biological mother was killed by Hubu Shangshu's original concubine wife, so The family held a grudge.

But unfortunately, not long ago, the only son of the Minister of the Household Department shocked the street in the neighborhood, fell off his horse, and has been in a coma since then, as if he was a living dead.

The outlaws became rare in the Minister of the Ministry of Household almost overnight, and the minister also brought people into the mansion, and the cost at this time was compared with that of the first wife. In the past few days, I was still thinking about fostering the outhouse under the name of the first wife. Next, Fuzheng is the first son.

Mrs. Hubu Shangshu naturally shouldn't, and now the entire Shangshu Mansion is making a fuss.

Concubine Luo didn't realize that there would be such a coincidence in the world. She wanted to attack the Minister of the Household Department, but there was a disturbance that the son of the Shang Shu was abolished and his wife entered the house.

She felt that this method was somewhat of Qin Shou's style.

He didn't say it clearly, and she also had the right to assume that she didn't know how to deal with the Minister of the Household Department.

She borrowed the secret guards around the sage, and took advantage of the convenience of the concubine to intervene in the Shangshu Mansion, but only half a month later, the household department Shangshu was stripped of his official title by the sage.

After the entire household department was replaced by the sage's own confidants, everyone realized that the emperor wanted to clean up the government.

Before the big and small officials below had time to protect each other, Concubine Luo took the first step, holding the holy edict, and resolutely will not be won over, arrest those who should be arrested, and kill those who should be killed.

For a time, in the entire capital, everyone who was in the court felt insecure and did not dare to form a party in private, even if they said a few words among colleagues, they seemed scrupulous.

Concubine Luo doesn't care about these, in her opinion, these are all cancerous tumors of the Great Yin, and herbal application is only used to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, so it is necessary to use a knife to scrape off the necrotic carrion, although the pain is temporary, But at least it will heal.
