Qin Fangyi went crazy after waking up, talking nonsense all day long, and was so scared that she hid in the bed and did not dare to go out.WWW.tsxsw.COM

When she went out, she only asked the imperial doctor to treat her. But she was a concubine who had fallen out of favor and was so crazy, so the imperial doctor was not willing to treat her properly. He just nodded his head every day and left.

I often look at Qin Fangyi's palace from afar in the palace, recalling the humiliation of that day. The feeling of saliva drying little by little on my cheeks in the cold wind still has not faded, and what I saw in the cold palace that day.

All the tragedies are still firmly engraved in my mind, mixed with the pain of losing a child and the desire for revenge, and condensed into an unforgettable wound in my memory.

If it weren't for Qin Fangyi's ruthless trampling, if it weren't for the miserable situation of the concubines in the cold palace, how could I have decisively cheered up so quickly? To a certain extent, it was them who made me who I am today.

So I ordered Jin Xi to send a message to the cold palace, and ordered the old palace people there to take special care of Fang Concubine and move her to a cleaner place. All the clothing, food and expenses will be paid by my palace. For Fang Concubine, not only

A little sympathy for fellow sufferers is a warning like a warning. If I had fallen blindly that day, I would have been the second concubine in this palace, living in the cold palace, just waiting to die, and no one would sympathize with me. And let me

People treat Qin Fangyi's diet and daily life well, but they are not allowed to cure her madness.

Jinxi was very surprised that I took extra care of the concubine in the cold palace. I picked up a kumquat and ate it, with a calm expression on my face, and said: "I often feel frightened when I think of her. If I had been careless that day, I would have let myself

If she is willful and frustrated, I am afraid that I will be the one living in the cold palace with her from now on."

Jin Xi was silent and just said: "I don't know how Qin Fangyi offended the empress and became so frightened."

I sneered slightly, "She was afraid that I would imitate Empress Lu and make her into a 'human pig', so she was so frightened. If she had known this, she would have regretted treating me that way."

Jin Xi smiled and said: "Qin Fangyi is like this. I'm afraid she can't regret it even if she wants to."

While talking to Jin Xi, Pei'er opened the curtain and came in and said: "Lu Zhaoyi is here outside, and he is eager to see the empress." He said curiously: "This Lu Zhaoyi has never had any contact with us. Why did he come here today? Yes

Are you here for her crazy cousin Qin Fangyi?"

I hugged the stove and said, "It's windy and snowy at night, and she has too much time to take care of herself. She can't take care of her cousin. Do you know that her cousin has been crazy these past few days, and she didn't dare to take a look at it." I sighed.

: "What does it mean to be in a cold world? This is it. It concerns oneself, and even my cousins ​​can ignore it."

I turned around and went back to the Nuan Pavilion to sleep, and said to Pei'er: "I don't have time to see her. You go and tell her that her cousin's affairs will not affect her, but I don't want to see her again, let alone meet her again."

Respect her - she certainly knows what to do."

Jin Xi watched me give orders to Pei'er and then saw her going out, and said, "My queen's behavior seems to be a little different from before." She lowered her head: "In the past, my queen would not bother to deal with people like Lu Zhaoyi.

.”

In front of the hall, a tree with green calyx and plum blossoms bloomed like jasper stars, and the dots were thick and green. In the winter snow, it looked like the shade of a tree with green leaves, which was very impressive. I put my feet on the golden cage to keep warm.

Leaning on the cushion, he said slowly: "Every cause must have an effect. I used to be too good-tempered and tolerated them everywhere, so that when I felt a little down, they all dared to bully me. Today is to set an example for others.

Those people are reminded that I am not someone who is easily bullied."

Jin Xi said cautiously: "The empress was indeed too lenient in the past. It's just that the empress today seems to be like the concubine of the past."

There were many maids in the palace, but Jin Xi was the only one who dared to talk to me like this. I was not annoyed, and just said: "Concubine Hua is blindly ruthless and fierce, and everyone avoids her under her iron fist. This is not a good thing."

.But it is also quite useful to deal with people who have dissent in the harem. Concubine Hua has been able to help manage the harem for so many years, which is not without merit. I can't ignore her strengths just because I hate her. Now that I'm back, there are some things that I have to ignore.

She is ruthless, and I should take the essence of Concubine Hua's way of doing things and use it for my own use." I sighed slightly: "In the past, people were the swordsmen, and I was the fish and meat. Nowadays, it's time to change."

Jin Xi then smiled happily and said: "My Majesty has such a plan, I am relieved. I only hope that everything will go well for the Majesty and I will not suffer anymore."

Lu Zhaoyi acted quickly and wrote to the empress the next day, claiming that she had been in the palace for a long time, had no children, was sexually fond of luxury, used gold and jade a lot, wasted the national treasury, and was the first of the nine concubines. She resigned from the first palace.

The main position was demoted to Shunyi, who was at the bottom of the Fourth Rank and Five Yi, and moved to live with Qin Fangyi.

Xuan Ling was afraid that he had long since forgotten who Lu Zhaoyi was, so he naturally had no objections. Although the queen had some doubts, she had no choice but to let her go because of Lu Zhaoyi's repeated insistence.

After hearing this, I just laughed it off and said, "She is quite good-natured. I thought she would just ask herself to be demoted to Jieyu."

Of course, I still remember the innocent little palace maid Yan'er beside her who was worried about me. She was the only person who gave me sympathy during that embarrassment and humiliation, even though I didn't need sympathy. Moving with Lu Shunyi would not

I was still grateful for the little sympathy she showed, so I asked Jiang Zhongmin to send her to the Xingui concubine as an errand. The Xingui concubine had a cheerful personality.

He is very kind to the palace people. In this way, Yan'er can be considered to have a good home.

In this way, under the Queen, there are only Concubines Jing, Duan and Murong. Concubines Duan and Concubines Murong are indistinguishable from the world, so only Concubine Jing is still in charge. Of the nine concubines, only a depressed Li Xiurong is left, and next is me.

I became concubine Xingui. My position in the palace became more and more stable.

But when I was experiencing great changes in the harem and was prosperous, the previous dynasty gradually became unsettled.

The cause is just a major event that can be resolved. Three days ago, King Xuanji of Runan was not only late for the morning court but also entered the palace in uniform. This was very unethical. Going to the palace was not a battlefield, nor was he returning from a victorious battle with the dignity of a prince.

The military uniform came belatedly, but it was just a show of force. Before Xuan Ling said anything, Zhang Rulin, the official censor, immediately impeached the king of Runan and accused him of being disrespectful.

The King of Runan was the head of the military generals in the imperial court, and he never paid attention to the civil servants and scholars who spoke about Confucius and Mencius. Therefore, the civil servants and military officers in the court were almost at odds with each other, and they had long been at odds with each other. The official had the responsibility to supervise the country's etiquette system.

He is responsible for admonishing the king for his faults and blaming his officials for their mistakes. He speaks out and has no faults, and has always been respected.

The king of Runan was arrogant by nature, so he never paid attention to a small fifth-grade official. He did not have any trouble at the court, but on his way back to the palace from the next court, he stopped Zhang Rulin and punched him, knocking Zhang Rulin unconscious on the spot.

.

As soon as this incident came out, it was like a boulder hitting water. For a time, literati and officials wrote letters one after another, demanding severe punishment for King Runan in order to restore the rule of law in the court. However, King Runan refused to admit his mistake and even claimed to be ill and stopped going to court.

Xuan Ling was worried that the king of Runan could not lose his tail, and his power was growing. This matter would deepen the confrontation between the civil and military officials of the DPRK and China. If it was not handled well, it would be a major matter that would endanger the imperial court. For this reason, Xuan Ling stayed in the imperial study room for a whole day.

Didn't come out.

The incident involved King Runan and the Murong clan, which made me a little worried, so I ordered Liu Zhu to prepare bird's nests for midnight snacks and went to Yiyuan Hall together.

The ministers who were presenting the event had already retired, and Xuan Ling leaned quietly on the large chair with dragon carvings, looking up and concentrating. I went in quietly alone and took out the bird's nest from the food box. He heard the movement and opened his eyes.

Seeing it was me, he smiled tiredly and said, "Huan Huan, you're here."

I smiled gently: "I didn't disturb the emperor, did I?"

He shook his head and said, "You should have heard about what happened in the past few days, right?"

I nodded slightly: "Yes. This matter has caused quite a stir. Even though I live in the harem, I know something about it. However, even if the government is troublesome, the emperor must take good care of himself." I handed the bird's nest to him and said with a smile:

"My concubine has stewed it for a long time. Your Majesty has been discussing matters with the ministers for a long time. Would you like to try it to moisten your throat?"

He smiled when he heard this, took the scoop and said, "It's so sweet!"

I frowned, took a sip and drank it, wondering: "It's not very sweet. The emperor doesn't like to eat things that are too sweet, so I didn't put more sugar in it."

His eyebrows widened, he stretched out his arms and said with a smile: "It's not the bird's nest that's sweet, it's the fact that you stewed the bird's nest yourself." He turned my hand over and said, "It's not burned this time, is it?" I felt slightly in my heart.

As soon as he moved, he continued: "I remember the first time you stewed bird's nests for me, you accidentally burned your hands red."

His heart was slightly touched. He could still remember the events of his early years so clearly. There seemed to be a moment of drifting in front of his eyes. He saw the room full of candlelight, like the moonlight of the 17th or 18th century, the warmth of red radish, charcoal and the sweetness of ambergris.

The fragrance flowed like water in the air, bright and quiet. My heart was heavy, so I said: "How can I be so careless? I was impatient that time."

As he spoke, he drank a cup of bird's nest and said, "You already know about King Runan beating Yan Guan. So - how do you think I should deal with it? Do you want to punish King Runan fairly and in accordance with the law?"

Thousands of thoughts went through my mind in an instant, and my thoughts were chaotic. As long as I told him to deal with it justly and punish King Runan, it would be the first step to avenge a great revenge. However, after a moment's change of thought, I quickly calmed down.

Jingqi said: "As the king of a country, of course the emperor must deal with it fairly and in accordance with the law, but - it is not to punish King Runan."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at me, said "Oh" in surprise, and said: "I thought you would suggest me to punish King Runan? Please tell me and listen."

I looked at him with a smile on my face and said, "Don't you, Your Majesty, blame your concubines for discussing political affairs indiscriminately?"

He said: "It doesn't matter, I'll just listen to your gossip and won't blame you at all."

I adjusted my slightly rapid breathing, stood beside him and said in a manly voice: "I will not let the emperor punish King Runan because of selfish motives. The most important thing now is to appease people's hearts and resolve the conflicts between the civil and military ministers. The two tigers are in harmony.

In a fight, one person must be injured, and no matter which side is injured, in the final analysis, it is the foundation of the country that is injured. And punishing King Runan now will only provoke more dissatisfaction among the military officers of the court. Military officers - but those who hold military power

.”

Xuan Ling put his right hand under his chin and thought slowly. I continued: "The emperor actually does not need to punish the prince to settle the matter. If you do so, it will just satisfy the brother's love and upset the sister-in-law. After all, it will be a bowl of water."

It’s unfair. The civil servants are so excited because they just want an explanation. The emperor only needs to give them an explanation. The best thing is to ask the prince to come and apologize."

Xuan Ling looked slightly surprised, waved his hand and said with a bitter smile: "You want King Runan to come to the door to apologize? He is so arrogant, it is better to kill him."

I pursed my lips and smiled: "That's not necessarily the case." I turned behind him, waved my sleeves gently, and said softly: "The prince fights on the battlefield and kills enemies for his country. He can be regarded as a hero. What about heroes?

Which level is the saddest one?"

He held up his palms and laughed: "It's hard for a hero to be a beauty! You clever devil! Thank you for coming up with this trick."

"Your Majesty also knows that it is difficult for heroes to be beauties!" I said with a smile: "How do I know anything about national affairs? All I know is trivial matters between sisters-in-law. The prince is afraid of his wife like a tiger, so naturally he will obey her orders. If

Letting Princess Runan persuade her will definitely be beneficial. I have had a relationship with Princess Runan once before, and I know that she is not a jealous and ignorant woman."

He thought it was reasonable, but he quickly stopped laughing: "Then, who is going to persuade Princess Runan?" Although he asked, his eyes fell on me.

Of course he wants me to go, so if he brings it up, it will have the same result as if I bring it up. Instead of doing this, it would be better for me to say it. On the one hand, it would appear that I know his intentions, and on the other hand, I can share his worries. So he said

: "If the emperor does not despise my incompetence, I will volunteer myself."

As expected, he smiled brightly, stretched out his hand to hold me in his arms, and said with a low smile: "In the harem, you are the only one who can best relieve me of my worries. Those ministers took my salary and made a fuss for a long time. All they could say was

The idea of ​​punishment or non-punishment is really useless."

I smiled half-heartedly and half-heartedly, and said: "I am just a mere woman in the harem. It is not my own idea. It is just the emperor's intention that I guessed by my own luck."

That's it. Those ministers are familiar with book ethics, but I am familiar with the emperor. Therefore, I can guess two things about the emperor's providence, but the ministers cannot guess it. I thought to myself that the emperor wants the stability of the court most.

How can one blame the military generals for the civil servants or suppress the civil servants while condoning the military commanders?"

Xuan Ling sighed: "Huan Huan, it is true that you know my intention." He suddenly frowned, "But King Runan will do it sooner or later. Otherwise, all the imperial court will be his followers, and there will be no righteousness at all. My

The country is also unstable."
