Chapter 30 The Past of the Empress Dowager

In the palace, except for the emperor and the empress dowager, the imperial concubine Jin is the sky in the palace. Every day, eunuchs and maids come to Yanxi Palace to report to the imperial concubine Jin one by one.

"Oh? Are you saying that the wound on the emperor's left shoulder was indeed injured by a dagger?

Concubine Jin lay lazily on the bed and listened thoughtfully to the eunuch's report. The two maids gently wiped Jin's nails with petal water.

"The imperial doctor of the imperial medical office said that the emperor's left shoulder was indeed injured by a dagger, and his hand was very deep. Fortunately, he did not hurt his muscles and bones. Except for the early morning, the empress dowager did not allow the emperor to go out to walk in the past two days and has been guarding the emperor."

The eunuch knelt down in front of the concubine Jin and said respectfully.

"In this way, the emperor was indeed stabbed by that Ban Jieyu. Why did she accidentally stab herself when she was playing? It's nonsense, but why did she assassinate the emperor?"

Concubine Jin muttered.

"Madam, has this concubine Zhao been in the cold palace for a long time and has become a madman, otherwise how could she have the courage to assassinate the emperor?"

The maid who wiped her nails with petal water raised her head and said slowly.

"This is possible, but if so, why did the emperor cover up for a madman?"

Concubine Jin said doubtfully.

"Madam, maybe the emperor felt that Concubine Zhao had broken her brain in the cold palace, which was very pitiful, so he couldn't bear to punish her."

The maid thought for a moment and replied.

"Anyway, if this Ban Jieyu can let the emperor cover her up, it means that the emperor likes her very much now. Whether she is really crazy or fake crazy, this person must be unprevented. Xiang'er, you have ordered several people to closely monitor Concubine Zhao's every move, and inform me as soon as you find anything."

A trace of fierceness flashed in Jin's eyes and she suddenly said.

"Yes, Madam, I'm going to arrange it."

Xiang'er gently put Jinfei's left hand on the cushion, waved to the maid next to her, winced, and motioned the person to continue to wipe the petal water for Jinfei, and then slowly retreated.

"Let's go. It's time to go to Cining Palace to say hi to the Empress Dowager."

Concubine Jin stood up and said lazily. The maid of honor beside her helped her and walked out of the Yanxi Palace.

After a while, everyone carried the imperial concubine Jin to the Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager has already sat in the upper seat, waiting for everyone to come to comfort her.

"Good night, aunt, and my concubine is here to say hello to you."

Concubine Jin saluted respectfully and said with a smile.

"Free of courtesy."

The Empress Dowager smiled faintly and waved her hand.

"Bear aunt, what are you going to do with that Zhao Fei? Is it possible to let her go like this?"

Concubine Jin slowly walked to the empress dowager's side, and her eyes glowed with cunning light.

"I wanted to take this person back to Cining Palace to die, but when I saw the loyal eunuch beside her, I thought of Li Du."

The Empress Dowager sighed, raised her head, as if looking into the distance and muttered.

Hearing what the empress dowager said, Jinfei immediately closed her mouth and gently held the empress dowager's hand.

Because Li Du was a eunuch beside Concubine Li when he was young, he had been following Concubine Li since she first entered the palace. This person was loyal to Concubine Li and Yin Ren, and later died in the palace fight to protect Concubine Li.

Now, every time the Empress Dowager thinks of this person, she sighs and complains about the injustice of heaven. When she has no power, she gives her a loyal and good servant and suffers with her, but on the eve of her great success, she takes this person back and can't share the fruits of victory with her.

"In those years, I and the emperor's orphan and widowed mother depended on each other. We walked carefully in this man-eating palace and did not dare to make a step wrong. Every day, we were frightened and humiliated. Fortunately, Li Du accompanied us to give advice and ran around for our mother. I don't know how much he suffered for our mother, but it's a pity Seeing the success of the great cause, but he died in front of me in order to protect me, I always sighed at this injustice of heaven. Why did he only let him suffer for me, but did not give me a chance to compensate him well and let him live a comfortable life with me? If he is still there, I can even make him a prime minister.

The Empress Dowager muttered, as if recalling the past, and her eyes turned red.

"Auntie, if you really like Yang Dali so much, you might as well transfer him to Cining Palace."

Concubine Jin took the soft silk handkerchief handed over by the maid of honor, gently wiped the tears off the empress dowager's face, and said slowly.

"It is really rare to have such a loyal servant in the palace. As soon as the mourning family saw his desperate protection of the master, they couldn't help thinking of Li Du. The most grateful and sorry person in their life was Li Du. When the mourning family saw that he was beaten and protecting his master, the mourning family couldn't bear to do it again. At that time, Li Du was also killed alive by the people sent by Concubine Yun to protect his family. When the family thought of him, they felt very uncomfortable.

The Empress Dowager said slowly with tears.

In fact, Li Du was originally the lover before Lifei entered the palace. Later, Lifei was selected to be a beautiful girl in the palace. Li Du entered the palace and became a eunuch. Li Du has been accompanying the beautiful concubine step by step, helping her from a small beautiful girl to the emperor's concubine, and then helped her and Yin Ren make suggestions and sit on the throne step by step. The two The closeness and subtlety of the relationship between them are not humane.

A childless concubine, a prince who lost his mother, and a eunuch, three people actually live together like a family, sharing joys and sorrows and supporting each other. What kind of life is this?

"The mourning family appreciates Yang Dali very much, but the mourning family really can't bear to forcibly break him up with his master. Imagine how uncomfortable it would have been if someone had forcibly taken Li Du away from me in those years, and how uncomfortable it would have been for Li Du."

The Empress Dowager stood up and said slowly.

"But aunt, Zhao Fei dared to stab the emperor. Will she let this person stay with the emperor?"

Concubine Jin followed the Empress Dowager and said slowly.

"The emperor himself also said that he accidentally stabbed himself. Since the emperor has the intention to shield Concubine Zhao, it shows that the emperor likes Concubine Zhao very much now, and there is no need to go against the emperor's intention. In case he annoys the emperor at that time, won't it make everyone unhappy? For a small abandoned concubine, it's really not worth it. It's better to follow the emperor and watch the change. If this concubine Zhao dares to do bold things again, it will be as simple as pinching an ant to death.

The Empress Dowager looked back at the Jinfei and said in a low voice.

"Yes, what my aunt said is reasonable."

Concubine Jin stood down and said respectfully.

"Well, Ai's family is going to Cheng Qian Palace to see the emperor. You can also go with Ai's family."

The Empress Dowager smiled, held up the hand of Concubine Jin and walked out.

"Yes, aunt."

Concubine Jin smiled at the empress dowager and went to Cheng Qian Palace with the empress dowager.
