What was he afraid of today?
Kong Yu's death had always been a knot in Jing Xuan's heart.
Although the person who cared about her so much was her Imperial Mother, she should respect and love her, but even a tiger would not eat its own cubs. For Jing Yi, her mother was willing to kill a person and did not hesitate to ground her in the palace. In order to prevent her from telling the truth to the Emperor, she even had the heart to marry her to Huyi.
How could she respect such a mother? Love?
Concubine Xiao tightened her grip on Xuan 'er's cold hand and said tearfully, "Xuan' er, Imperial Mother knows that you are sad, but you must understand that Kong Yu committed suicide and no one else can be blamed. What Imperial Mother did was not only for your Imperial Brother, but also for you. Huyi's Third Prince is deeply favored by the King of Huyi. In the future, he will ascend the throne and you will be the Empress."
Pooh!
These words were the words of a hypocrite.
Would she care about being the mother of the country?
She wasn't even interested in looking at the Queen Mother's seat.
After a while, a trace of a smile appeared on her pale lips. It was so cold that it caused one's hair to stand on end. In the next moment, she propped herself up.
Just as Concubine Xiao was about to reach out to support her, Ji Yunshu flung her hand away.
"Xuan 'er?" Concubine Xiao was shocked.
"Do you think I know nothing? Do you think I'm a fool? Since I was young, I have been a little unruly and willful. In the eyes of others, I am also a useless and brainless princess, but this does not mean that I do not know anything. You want me to marry to Huyi because you want to separate me so that the secret between you and my brother will never be known. "
He had completely seen through it!
Concubine Xiao hurriedly explained, "Xuan 'er, how can you think like that?"
"Then what should I think? The truth is the truth. Don't tell me that Imperial Mother doesn't feel the same way? "Her eyes were filled with hostility.
Of course he thought so.
"Xuan 'er, what should I do …"
Before he could finish, Jing Xuan snorted, "You tried every possible way to get Sister Yu to marry Eldest Brother, but in the end, two lives were lost because of your scheme. You are simply too scary."
Ugh!
She almost roared out the last sentence.
How could Concubine Xiao not feel sad when these words came from her own daughter's mouth?
His heart was bleeding!
"Why are you so insensible? You are my daughter, and you will be for the rest of your life. I am willing to do anything for the future of you and your brother. Now that your brother is dead, the future of the Great Lin will belong to your brother. You will marry to Huyi and become the mother of the nation. If you and your sister can live in peace, I can die in peace. "
Jing Xuan met her gaze, her eyes brimming with tears. She enunciated each word clearly, "Even at this time, Mufei still isn't willing to tell me the truth."
She might have had a little bit of hope before, but now, she was in complete despair.
Her Imperial Mother, who had doted on her since she was a child, turned out to be a demon who would do anything to achieve her goals.
Concubine Xiao pouted, unable to say a word.
Jing Xuan heaved a sigh of relief and sneered, "Didn't you want to separate from me? Fine, I promise you. I'll marry you, and I'll never come back. Even if I die, I won't die in front of you. "
His heart was like dead ashes.
His voice reverberated throughout the inner hall and swept into Concubine Xiao's ears.
When their eyes met, one was filled with helplessness and the other with hatred.
… …
After Concubine Xiao came out of the inner hall, she was a little absent-minded.
Sang Lan supported her, "Your Ladyship, are you alright?"
She didn't speak.
"Your Ladyship, please don't take what the Princess said to heart. Sooner or later, the Princess will understand Your Ladyship's good intentions."
That's right!
She had indeed put in a lot of effort.
Concubine Xiao stopped in her tracks and stood on the winding corridor within the palace walls. She looked at the palace path that extended all the way in front of her, her pupils constricting little by little.
Then, she gritted her teeth and said, "As long as it's for Yi 'er, this seat can do anything."
Even if it meant death.
"Then, Your Ladyship, did Eunuch Li say that Prince Yi is in trouble?"
"His Majesty is only guessing, not certain. Moreover, with Yi 'er's current status in the capital and the court, even if His Majesty knew, he would have to think twice before acting. However …" Concubine Xiao's phoenix brows furrowed, "What's going on with the Ministry of Personnel?"
She was puzzled.
The Ministry of Personnel had submitted a memorial to a prince. If the memorial wasn't good, it would be a serious matter of losing his head!
How could the newly appointed Minister of Personnel, Peng Yuanhai, be so daring?
If he wasn't being instigated by someone, then he must have a powerful backer.
Or perhaps, Jing Rong was deliberately countering her with another move.
Putting himself in a desperate situation to survive?
He shook his head, "This won't do. At this time, we absolutely cannot allow any accidents to happen. It seems that some plans have to be brought forward."
Sang Lan didn't understand, "Your Ladyship, what do you mean?"
Concubine Xiao sinisterly hooked her eyes …
The next day.
Fuyang Hall.
Zhang Quan bowed and entered the hall. "Your Majesty."
Qi Zhen Emperor was resting with his head propped on his hand. When he heard the voice, he grunted, then waved his hand, dismissing all the people waiting in the hall.
He still sat there motionlessly and asked, "How is it?"
Zhang Quan replied, "The newly appointed Minister of Personnel, Minister Peng, has no contact with the Office of Transmission's envoy. One ministry, one office, there is no connection."
"What else?"
"However, when the former Minister of Personnel, Qiao Zheng, was in office, he had always been in contact with Prince Yi's Estate. Lord Peng previously worked for Lord Qiao, so … perhaps … the Ministry of Personnel and Prince Yi's Estate are in cahoots. As for the Office of Transmission's envoy, Lord Qu, three years ago, it was precisely because of Prince Yi's recommendation that he was elected as the envoy."
So, the Office of Transmission and Prince Yi's Estate should also be in cahoots?
At this point, Qi Zhen Emperor opened his eyes and looked at the smoking incense burner on the table.
The white smoke curled up and lingered on the tip of one's nose. It should have been comfortable, but now it was a little pungent and unpleasant …
Qi Zhen Emperor frowned, his expression extremely dark. He lightly punched the table.
"What is he afraid of today?"
Huh?
Who?
Zhang Quan raised his head and watched as Qi Zhen Emperor slowly rose to his feet. He quickly stepped forward to support him, but was pushed to the side by Qi Zhen Emperor's wide sleeve.
Qi Zhen Emperor's back was bent, and he dragged his feet with difficulty to the sword rack in the hall.
On the sword rack was a long black sword.
He had obtained it from the King of Li thirty years ago, and later gifted it to Jing Hua. He didn't expect that Jing Hua would use this sword to kill him on the night he forced the Emperor to abdicate.
He took the sword down and gripped the hilt tightly, his eyes desolate and disappointed. He sighed, "Jing Hua is dead, Jing Xian is incompetent, and We have also transferred Jing Rong out of the capital. But was This Emperor wrong? Or was This Emperor muddle-headed? "
"Your Majesty?"
"The late Emperor was right. As long as Great Lin exists, the struggle … will never cease."
As he finished speaking, he unsheathed the sword in his hand.
