First Class Concubine

Chapter 100 trouble again
"Is the Empress Dowager dead?" The two got up together, hurriedly called the person who reported the funeral to come in and asked, "What's going on?"

"Return to Your Highness, County Master." The little eunuch who reported the funeral knelt and cried and said, "The Empress Dowager is fine during the day, but I heard that the second prince is back, and she drank an extra glass at the palace banquet. Had some late-night supper... I asked people to prepare a lot of gold and silver wagons, and planned to give out red envelopes at dawn. Unexpectedly, at night, the empress suddenly felt unwell. It must be that the late emperor came to pick her up... Wait for the servants to find her Come to the imperial doctor... the empress has passed away."

Obviously, this is not the first time he has said this.The little eunuch spoke very smoothly, and pointed out some key points.For example, the second prince is back.For another example, it was fine, but suddenly it disappeared.Even the imperial doctor can't wait...

"You go somewhere else first." Le Chen sent the little eunuch away to report the funeral elsewhere.

The housekeeper sent the little eunuch away, and then began to replace things everywhere.During the Chinese New Year, most of them were red, but now, they all have to be replaced with plain colors.

Qijing frowned: "I have to enter the palace, I'm crying for my mother. What are you going to do here?" She still wanted to enter the palace after all.

"I can't go." Le Chen leaned against the bed, eyes half-opened: "You don't have to miss me." He leaned into her ear and whispered: "As soon as you leave, I will leave with you .Here, just leave a substitute. If you hear something...don't lose your composure. I will be fine!"

Seven scenic spots head, but the bottom of my heart is very cold.There must be an inside story about the Queen Mother's death.But in the palace, who could kill the Queen Mother so quietly?And the meaning in Le Chen's words, taking this opportunity, someone will definitely attack him.This is royal!

Change the plain clothes sent by the subordinates, and enter the palace by car.

The mourning hall was set up in the Empress Dowager's Palace. The golden wall was brilliant back then, but now it is plain.

In addition to the Queen Mother's coffin, there are nine coffins of poor quality.It is said that those were buried with the Empress Dowager.Most of them are old people in the queen mother's palace... Seeing these coffins, she finally understood why Ma Qi and Ma Qi were so happy to come to her from the palace.

The wives arrived soon, and Qijing saw several princes and concubines, as well as the old lady of the Su family... and Mrs. Su.

Yes, just yesterday.Because of Su Wanwan's entry into the palace, Mrs. Su was also named a sixth-rank security person.

Qijing also saw Su Wanwan. As the one who promised, her clothes at this time were not as good as those in Su's house.And when the emperor slapped her before, half of her face was swollen and blue because she hadn't used any medicine.It looks very scary.

Qijing knelt obediently in the group of noble girls, lowered her head slightly, controlled her tears, and flowed them slowly with an inherent rhythm.

It's not very good to encounter such a thing in the new year.What's more, for the emperor, there are many other things to do.A country is greater than a family, and the former dynasty is more important than the harem.Even the death of the queen mother can only be ranked after state affairs.

At this moment, the mourning hall has been set up, and the emperor who can be a filial son is still offering sacrifices to the country, the community, the sky, the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and the ancestors of their families.

When King Yu arrived, King Jing was still missing.

Qijing had never met King Jing before, according to her intentional or unintentional inquiries.Knowing that King Jing is the most mysterious prince in the entire Dayan Kingdom.

Man said that Qijing has only been here for less than half a year, even if he is a native of Beijing, not many people have met King Jing.However, the biological mother has not come out after her death, which makes people have to suspect that in fact, King Jing may not be here long ago.

On the third day of junior high school, the third day after the death of the queen mother, the emperor finally returned.

Then came a series of funeral ceremonies.The Ministry of Rites has its own special management for these matters. As a small county lord, Qijing just needs to follow the trend.When she needs to contribute some tears, contribute some, that's all.

After seven days of suspension, the day of funeral finally came.Qijing secretly heaved a sigh of relief, after this day, he could leave the palace and go home.

In the end, a decree came down, asking her to help the queen mother.

Qijing was immediately stunned. It's not that the queen mother has no heirs, no children and grandchildren.When did this kind of thing come to her, an outsider?
According to the regulations, she, the county lord specially appointed by the emperor, and a county lord with a foreign surname, only needs to be sent [-] miles outside the city before she should turn back.

But now...a decree came down, everyone was dumbfounded, and things became weird.

What happened to the children and grandchildren of the Le family who were surnamed county master Fu Ling?In particular, what capacity and qualifications does she have to do this?
The noble concubine wiped her tears and went to the queen: "Your Majesty, you are the lord of the first palace, in charge of the Phoenix Seal. You are supposed to be in charge of the affairs of the inner and outer wives. Now this matter... what do you think?"

The queen lay down on the hospital bed and scolded angrily: "What is her identity, what qualifications does she have to help the spirit? A living burial is almost the same."

But obviously, the emperor had no intention of letting her be buried with her. Not only did he not, the way the emperor looked at her could be seen through by anyone with experience.That's the way a man looks at a woman...

Therefore, no matter how fiercely the queen scolded, she did not take any action.The emperor has too many women, if she calculates one by one, she will be so tired.What's more, the father robbed the son's daughter-in-law, and the queen was still looking forward to it.

Therefore, the imperial concubine's calculations were in vain.

But the queen knows that there is no shortage of discerning people in this world.Let's see, the emperor stopped the court and personally sent the queen mother to the mausoleum... Even if he didn't go to the mausoleum in person, it took more than half a month to go back and forth.

Just a little association and a little guidance is enough.

The queen didn't make a move because she knew that there were many people who wanted to stop it.

The fact is indeed the case, the order, the ministers immediately bluntly remonstrated, begging the emperor to act according to the old routine.Although it failed to change the emperor's mind in the end, it also made the emperor order a few more people, from the princess to the noble daughter, to follow together.

The name is no longer helping spirits...but people must go.

The emperor backed down, and all the ministers, including those in the harem, who dared to press forward?So, everything became a foregone conclusion.

Although the emperor retreated, he achieved his goal.The ministers also achieved their goals.It can be considered that everyone is happy... The only person who is not happy is probably the person involved, Qijing.

Seven Scenery didn't even go out of the palace, so people packed up and set off.

In the winter of ice and snow, the road is very difficult.

Like her, there are six people to follow.Two princesses, two princesses, and two county masters.Qijing was rejected by them from the very beginning.

And when they leave the capital, even if they don't reject her, they won't be able to get along with her harmoniously.

The emperor who left Beijing hardly concealed his thoughts.The first order he gave was: "Move the car of Lord Shou'an County behind me."

As soon as the car driver arrived, the emperor sent someone to invite him.

Qijing felt that she must do something.Of course, it is also necessary to test whether the bastard who scared her followed out of the palace.

When she came to the emperor's imperial chariot, the emperor directly let her go up.

What is rare is that there is no grandeur, but the plainness of water.

"See the emperor." Qijing saluted.

The emperor sat on the back of the large imperial chariot, watching her quietly.

Qijing frowned, then stood up by herself.

"You dare to get up before I yell. You are so courageous!" Although the emperor was dissatisfied, he was not angry.

"The emperor congratulates me!" Qi Jing lowered her head slightly.

The emperor didn't have the same knowledge as her: "I heard that you are good at chess?"

"Hearsay is not enough evidence."

A cold light flashed in the emperor's eyes, "Bring over the chessboard over there, and play the next game with me."

"Filial piety is not fun."

"Playing chess is not fun."

Qijing pursed her lips and took the chessboard over.

"Sit." The emperor sat up straight, pressed lightly somewhere, and an extra low table came out.He nodded and said to Qijing.

Qijing frowned, walked over slowly, and put the chessboard first.Just about to sit down, the horse pulling the chariot neighed suddenly, as if it had been stimulated by something, it rushed forward fiercely.

The imperial chariot accelerated rapidly, and there was chaos in the chariot. Qijing was standing upright, but now he hurriedly grabbed something to fix himself.The emperor staggered, but he also stabilized.

However, the stove for boiling water in the imperial chariot shook violently because of this one.Especially that kettle on the stove.With a snap, it fell.

The boiling water was instantly sprinkled on the imperial chariot.

Qijing looked at the stove with some regret. If the stove fell down and a fire was lit, it would be interesting.

The horses pulling the chariot were galloping, and the small copper pot was clanging.In the imperial chariot, only Qijing and the emperor stabilized themselves and calmed down.

But outside, it was a mess.

The driver was in a hurry, his face was pale, and he was pulling the reins firmly.But this horse is obviously going crazy, he can't hold it at all.

The chief eunuch screamed outside: "Your Majesty, hurry up, help, help!"

Someone jumped on the shaft of the chariot and pulled the reins together. When the two of them couldn't pull it down with their combined strength, they simply swung their knives and cut off the reins.Several other people jumped on the back of a horse each and went to train the horse by themselves.

When the imperial chariot stopped, Qijing caressed his heart.Although she did it by herself, it was like a roller coaster ride, especially without any protective measures, it still made her face change.

As soon as the imperial chariot stopped, he rushed down, ran a little farther, found a secluded place, and kept spitting and spitting!

She vomited painstakingly here, and then she heard a loud cry from behind: "There are assassins, escort."

Sure enough, there were many people who hated the emperor and wanted him to die.

Instinctively, Qijing observed her own situation first.In order to spit, she ran a little far.And the opponent's target is the emperor, so the place where she is now is very safe.

Unless there is some long-range attack, she is safe and will not be affected.

Then, she began to observe other people's situation.

The five noble ladies were all gathered together, a little far away from the emperor, and they were safe.

As for the princes, when they saw the emperor being assassinated, they all rushed over on their own initiative.Big, two, three, five, one is not bad.After all, this is a good time for them to perform.

The emperor sat in the imperial chariot, very calm.The curtain around the imperial chariot was opened, and he just faced the assassin's cold weapon, domineering, aloof, and mighty.

Such a person should be an emperor.

Under the protection of the Dragon Guards, the assassin never got close to the imperial chariot. The emperor sat upright with a cold look in his eyes.

"Kill without mercy!"

With the sound of sharp weapons cutting flesh and breaking bones, those assassins fell one by one.

The assassin was also terrified and wanted to retreat, but couldn't.

When the emperor was angry, millions of corpses floated away.There are no millions here, but those who tried to provoke him all spilled blood on the spot, and none of them could escape.

Then in the next moment, a sudden change occurred.

A knife was pressed against the second prince's neck.Then there was a shout: "Stop, or I will kill him with one knife."
