After the imperial doctor withdrew, Xiao Qiuzi looked at Concubine Xiang lying on the bed and couldn't help but sigh. If he hadn't done bad things with good intentions, how could the Pope have brought Concubine Xiang into the palace, and she wouldn't have ended up like this today.
He had always believed that as long as the emperor wanted a woman, he would never get it, but this Concubine Xiang was an exception.
The emperor used the fact that someone assassinated the queen to put all the blame on General Teng. Although General Teng escaped, Concubine Xiang was still in the palace, and he would definitely come back again.
Xiaotao was worried about Concubine Xiang, so she walked around outside the Yangxin Hall. When she saw the emperor coming out, she hid behind a pillar. After watching the emperor walking away, she walked up to the guard guarding the door, gave him some money and said
: "Brother, guard, could you please help me call Eunuch Qiu out? Just say it's Xiao Tao from Yonghe Palace."
The guard looked at the money in his hand, put it away and said, "Okay, just wait, I'll go right away."
When Xiao Qiuzi heard that it was Xiao Tao who was coming, he quickly asked the guards to bring him in. When Xiao Tao came in and saw the injured Concubine Xiang, she burst into tears and cried: "Concubine Xiang, Concubine Xiang, please wake up..."
"
Xiao Qiuzi pulled Xiao Tao away and said, "Don't worry, since Concubine Xiang was brought to the Yangxin Palace by the Emperor, it proves that the Emperor still cares about her. I will also do my best to take good care of Concubine Xiang, don't worry."
Xiaotao held Xiao Qiuzi's hand and said, "Xiao Qiuzi, you have to take good care of Concubine Xiang. When she wakes up, you have to send someone to notify me as soon as possible."
Xiao Qiuzi nodded, took out a handkerchief to wipe Xiaotao's tears and said, "I will supervise the people who prepare the medicine for Concubine Xiang, and you will stay here to guard her."
After Xiao Qiuzi left, Xiao Tao looked at Concubine Xiang lying quietly on the bed, feeling filled with melancholy. How could the emperor be so good at such a good empress? Even if she made a lot of mistakes, they would still be a husband and wife. What's the point?
You can't talk it out nicely, you have to take action.
The empress accompanied the empress dowager in Jingren Palace and listened to a song. The empress looked at the empress dowager with a smile and said: "Empress dowager, I have something I want to discuss with you. Do you think so?"
The empress dowager sent everyone away, took the queen's hand and said, "Is there anything else that Aijia and you can't tell us directly? Aijia has always loved you as her own daughter. What's the matter? Aijia
It’s up to you.”
"It's like this. I have a cousin who has been very close to me since childhood. Now I have reached the age of marriage. I hope the Queen Mother can make the decision for her."
The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "This is a simple matter. Do you have a suitable candidate?"
The Queen walked up behind the Empress Dowager, gave her a pat on the back and said: "Empress Dowager, I haven't seen this cousin for a long time. I miss you so much. You also know that I can speak well in this palace.
That’s your old man. I would like to let my cousin enter the palace and serve the emperor. What do you think?”
The Queen Mother secretly thought that this Queen had really made a mistake. After becoming a Queen, her thoughts changed. She wanted to take advantage of the three-year talent show to attract her relatives to her side and consolidate her power.
.
The Queen Mother drank tea and asked calmly: "What is your cousin's name?"
The Queen answered truthfully: "My concubine's cousin is called Shui Xinlan. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is also a virtuous person. The Queen Mother will definitely like her when she sees her."
The Empress Dowager thought to herself that she hoped what the Empress said was true, and that she would not be disappointed when she saw the woman she said. She nodded and said, "Okay, then let her come to the draft as you wish.
