Chapter 44 Breaking into the Palace

With the sinking of the Empress Dowager's illness, the magnificent "Shou'an Hall" in the past is no longer glorious in the past.

The sky is gloomy outside, and there has been snow sleet since early in the morning. Ting Ling hit the glazed tiles of the red palace wall of the imperial city, which is also a little pleasant.

There are very few people in the palace in the "Shou'an Hall". There is only one little maid with her head left by the Empress Dowager's bed. She held the medicine bowl in fear. "Empress dowager, please drink the medicine. I beg you."

The Empress Dowager half opened her eyes and said, "What will you do if you don't drink?"

The little maid almost cried, "If you don't drink, the stewmaid lady will kill me. The stewman said that the only job of the maidservant is to serve the empress dowager's mother. If you can't even do such small things well, not only the maidservant, but also the maidservant's family outside the palace will be involved.

She knelt on the ground and raised the medicine bowl above her head. "Please beg the empress dowager to have a poor maidservant. I still have a younger brother in my family. My younger brother is still young, so I can't let him be implicated!"

The Empress Dowager smiled bitterly, "Get up, that's all right, I'm going to die, and it's meaningless to implicate others. Bring it here and I'll drink it."

The little maid wiped her tears with a happy smile, handed the medicine bowl to the empress dowager, and asked curiously, "The empress dowager's illness will be cured after taking the medicine. Why don't you like to take medicine?"

The Empress Dowager has drunk all the dark brown medicine and wiped her mouth with a veil. Hearing her funny question, she asked with a smile, "Then why don't you like to take medicine?"

The little maid said innocently, "I think that although the Empress Dowager is noble, maybe she is afraid of medicine bitterness like the maidservant's younger brother!"

After saying that, she covered her mouth and laughed. The Empress Dowager also smiled and rarely reached out to touch her temples. "Silly child, you only know how to cure diseases, but you don't know that there is a medicine in the world that can kill people..."

The little maid looked at the empress dowager with round eyes. The Empress Dowager wanted to say something, but only heard a sharp and strange announcement peculiar to the eunuch outside, "The Empress Li is here!"

The Empress Dowager's face suddenly changed from spring-like warm to winter-like cold.

Although she has been ill for a long time, and her clothes and hair have slightly oozed sweat stains, she still tried to sit up and sit up straight as much as possible. She is sitting, and Li Guifei is standing, but she still looks at the woman who has been fighting with her for more than ten years with her with condescending arrogance.

Li Guifei was dressed in an orange palace costume and covered with a big firefox. Although she is over forty years old, she is still charming. She wore a colorful golden crown on her head, and the Empress Dowager became angry at first sight, "B bitch! That's the virtuous concubine's thing! Why don't you let go of the things buried in the tomb of the dead and not be afraid of taboo?

Li Guifei covered her mouth and laughed, "Oh, people came back and said that the Empress Dowager was seriously ill, so I thought about it and took some time to come to see you. But now when I hear you swear, you are still full of anger. Why do you seem to be seriously ill? She turned around and told the palace people she brought, "The Empress Dowager is not sick. Why are there so many braziers in this hall? Why don't you move out a few to save the smell of smoke and smoke the Empress Dowager!"

The palace people should go to move the brazier with seven hands and eight feet. The Empress Dowager sneered, "The origin of a small family is used to these unpopular tricks, and she is born with cheap seeds!"

At this time, the little maid suddenly jumped at the feet of Li Guifei, "Your concubine, the Empress Dowager is really seriously ill. This hall is long and spacious, and a few more brazis are still cold. It really can't be reduced!"

The Empress Dowager quickly stopped her, "Well, don't say anything. Go down. It's not cold!"

The little maid turned around and looked at the Empress Dowager in confusion, and suddenly there was a pain on her head. It turned out that an elderly palace man beside Li Guifei pulled her hair, "Little hoof, the noble concubine does things, it's not your turn to talk more!" With that, he rounded his arms and slapped the little maid in the face.

The little maid was beaten to the stars by her, and she forgot to cry, and she didn't know how she was dragged away. Her last memory was that the Empress Dowager gritted her teeth and cursed, "Poisonous woman! The child just said casually, why do you need to kill people? Can't you even let go of the last loyal person around your family..."

Li Guifei looked at the little maid being dragged out with satisfaction, and then turned around with a smile on the corners of her mouth, "Yes, Empress Dowager, you are right."

She bent down and leaned into the Empress Dowager's ear, "The people around you, one by one, I want them to die."

The Empress Dowager turned her face and stared at her beautiful outline, "Is it up to you?"

Princess Li covered her lips and smiled, "I'm afraid the Empress Dowager still doesn't know that the ninth prince is also in the palace at this moment. Unfortunately, he has other things to do. I'm afraid it's too late to see the Empress Dowager.

At this time, the Empress Dowager showed a trace of panic, "What happened to Jiu'er? Does the emperor let you cover the sky like this?

Princess Li looked offended and waved her hand back a few steps. "Look at what the Empress Dowager said, how can I have such a ability? The ninth prince, but the emperor asked him to stay.

Her eyes narrowed and smiled brightly and coldly, "I'm over her ability. Do you think that if you instigate the stupid woman of the Eighth Princess, can you bring down my son?"

"Now that the Empress Dowager loves the ninth prince the most. Although she can't come to see you, the Empress Dowager knows that she will not leave for a while, so she should be relieved."

The Empress Dowager bit her lower lip with hatred, "You bitch, you'd better pray to God and ask yourself to be so proud all your life!"

Concubine Li laughed, "This is really unaccustomed to saying this from the Empress Dowager's mouth!" She stopped laughing and looked coldly at the empress dowager, "I haven't learned the tricks of the empress dowager in those years. I really don't dare to take the name of this 'poisonous woman'!"

She suddenly burst into tears, "The Empress Dowager is also a mother. Why doesn't she understand my heart?"

"You're right," the Empress Dowager smiled, "I know what you mean, and I hope that one day, you won't regret it like me today..."

For three days, Shen Xuanji was sleepless and handed nine folds to the palace, which were all returned.

In the early morning of the fourth day, she couldn't stand it and ordered loudly, "Lan Qing, take out your coat; Chunjiao, get ready, I'm going to the palace!"

M Mother Hua quickly came up to stop her, "Princess, by no way, have you forgotten the words of Huo's tie? Please don't act rashly!"

"M Mother!" Shen Xuanji said with a serious look, "The prince's life and death are uncertain now. He is my husband. Can I still sit at home?"

Mother Hua also said, "After all, the prince is the prince. I think they dare not do anything to him. The princess, you are a female, how can you easily take risks? Last time, the prince taught the old slave a lesson. If the princess has any mistake this time, the old slave really can't explain it to the prince!"

"Mother," Shen Xuanji smiled helplessly, "You are the king's wet nurse. Don't you know the prince's situation over the years? Now that the Empress Dowager is ill again, I can't go to the palace to serve for a few days. I also know that the situation will not be optimistic. The prince is now walking on the blade step by step. How can I stand by for my own safety?

"I know that M Mother's words and every sentence make sense, but it's about my husband, and I can't allow me to think about it. Even Longtan Tiger Cave, I'm going to go there today." Shen Xuanji still has half a sentence in her heart. If she dies unfortunately, there is a person in this life who has been so kind to her, and it is not in vain.

Mami Hua's tears flowed down, and finally stopped persuading her and turned to take care of Shen Xuanji's car into the palace.

It has always been Chunzhuo accompanying Shen Xuanji into the palace. Lan Qing saw that although she had been much more stable recently, today's matter was still a little worried, so he said to Shen Xuanji, "Princess, why don't I go into the palace with the princess and take care of one more person."

Chunjiao patted her, "What are you doing?" Are you afraid that I can't take good care of the princess?"

Lan Qing reluctantly smiled and said, "You naturally take good care of it, but I'm a little worried."

Chunqi hugged her shoulder, "It's okay. Don't worry, the princess will go out, one by one!" When the princess brought us to Qiongjiang, she met a horse thief halfway. The princess and the second girl were not afraid!" She raised her head angrily, "Will the nobles in the palace be more terrible than horse thieves?"

Lan Qing was still worried and looked at Shen Xuanji. Shen Xuanji smiled at her and comforted her, "It will be fine. Don't worry."

Chunzhuo also said, "Yes, yes, nothing will happen. Don't worry, even if something happens, I will hand over myself first and never let the princess make any mistakes!"

Lan Qing "tut" and went to cover her mouth. Chunzhuo dodged with a smile, "Good sister, you can wait at home. It's best to make me some of the balls you made for the princess the other day to reward me for your hard work!"

Lan Qing finally laughed at her, "Cat, go and change your clothes. I'll just make it for you."

Shen Xuanji saw the two laughing, and his face was also smiling lightly, but his mind was calculating quickly. She walked to the bedside and groped in the small cabinet above her head.

"What is the princess looking for?" Lan Qing asked when he saw this.

"Nothing." Shen Xuanji hid the dagger given to her by Xue Zhen in his sleeve and straightened up to call someone, " Mother, is the car ready? Chunyu and I will enter the palace immediately!"

This is the first time that Shen Xuanji has not been ordered to enter the palace. She sat in the carriage and was still a little uneasy. Chun crawled over and said, "Princess, don't worry. We are also famous teachers, and I'm embarrassed to blame you if you want to come to the emperor."

"Naive." Shen Xuanji commented on her. Chunqi pouted her little mouth. Shen Xuanji saw that she was cute and reached out and touched her head. "It's not bad if you are always so naive."

Chun turned around and smiled, "What should I do if I am so smart? The prince, the princess, the flower of Mother and Sister Lan Qing are all so smart. With you around the slaves and maidservants, I have enough brains. I am responsible for making the princess happy.

Shen Xuanji knew that she was happy for herself and was moved and smiled at her.

While the master and servant were talking, the car had arrived at the door of the palace. Shen Xuanji stepped out of the car, walked to the guard, raised the waistplate of the nine royal palaces, and was about to enter the palace.

I didn't expect that the bodyguard turned a deaf ear. When he saw her moving forward, he raised his blade and stopped her in front of her.

"Presumptuous!" Shen Xuanji's pretty face was frozen, "I'm the ninth king's concubine. Do you dare to be rude?"

A leader-like bodyguard came over, "The noble concubine has an order, and no one is allowed to enter the palace without an edict."

Shen Xuanji felt cold and immediately worried about Xue Zhen, "I'm here to serve the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager is seriously ill, and the prescription prescribed by the magic doctor is on me. In case of delay, how many heads can you afford?"

The man's face stiffened, "Please forgive the ninth princess. We are also ordered to do the job. The noble concubine has a decree. She only said that she could not enter the palace without an edict. She did not say that the princess took the empress dowager's prescription, and asked the princess to send someone to find the noble concubine.

"Well, you think well," Shen Xuanji sneered, "I can't even enter the palace gate. Where can I find the noble concubine?" Today, she is wearing a snowflake, with a lotus purple dress inside. She wears a style on her head, only revealing her snow-white face and a pair of bright eyes. At this moment, her face is particularly clear.

She didn't care about a group of bodyguards, but walked in with her head held high.

The bodyguard still had to stop it. Suddenly, there was a chill in his neck. Shen Xuanji didn't know when he held the knife in his hand and firmly resisted him. "If you dare to stop me again, I want to see. How many lives do you have? Aren't you afraid of death?"
