Chapter 181 The Empress Dowager's Visit

Morning and Evening Palace

With the sound of hurried footsteps, she stepped into the hall. The palace-dressed old woman trotted all the way to the inner hall, made a bow to the collapsed lazy woman and said slowly: "The Empress Dowager, the old slave just heard the news that the Empress Dowager returned to the palace and met the Empress Dowager on the way. There seemed to be an argument. Princess Hua was seriously injured and relapsed. The emperor is I'm treating her as a doctor.

"Oh?"

The woman on the bed raised her eyes, with a slight texture in the corners of her eyes, and her temples were white. The luxurious clothes and manners at this time showed her nobleness and the enduring Fengyi.

"How is Concubine Hua now?"

"I heard that life is on the line."

The old woman lowered her head, bowed her body humbly, and answered truthfully.

"No matter how, that girl has also made great contributions to the Beiqiu Dynasty, but it has to be seen carefully. If you save her, you can also save the Beiqiu royal family."

"But the old slave still heard a piece of news and didn't know whether to say it or not."

The old woman hesitated a little, looked up at her wife, realized her gaffe, and immediately lowered her head again.

A shallow arc appeared on the lips of the lady on the bed, but her voice seemed to be saying: "M Mother Su is not an outsider. She has been serving the mourning family for decades. What to say should not be clearer than the mourning family."

"Yes, the old slave understands."

The old women will immediately swallow half of their words. No matter what the facts are, they will turn a blind eye to the drug of slave maidservants, and the masters will deal with it.

This palace has too many secrets. The more you know, the faster you will die.

The old woman paused for a long time, as if she remembered something again, and straightened up: "But the Empress Dowager..."

"In terms of identity, she is just the empress dowager and the emperor's biological mother. No matter how resentful she is about that girl, she will not resent her child. The empress dowager is just a woman."

Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager moved her lower body slightly and got up to put on her shoes.

Seeing this, the old woman immediately approached and put on her shoes. Seeing her get up, her phoenix eyes gently swept her, making her heart tremble.

"But that girl is different. Whether it is the emperor or the Beiqiu Dynasty, she has made great contributions. As long as her mind goes to the Beiqiu Dynasty, even if she wants to mourn her family's life, it is incumbentible."

"Empress Dowager!"

The old woman was shocked and didn't understand what the empress dowager meant. She only felt that her pores were upside down. As a slave, she and the empress dowager were both glorious and damaged. Now listening to her words like this, it is rare that something will happen.

"Don't worry, my family is a thousand years old. Humph, I still want to be as blessed as the East China Sea and live longer than Nanshan."

When she was old, her movements were a little slow. The Empress Dowager waved her sleeves, raised her arms, and glanced at the old woman: "M Mother Su, hold the mourning family and swinging the Zihua Palace."

"Yes."

M Mother Su did not dare to neglect. Moreover, she also knew something about the empress dowager. Although she did not ask about the affairs of the palace, she was also the political right assistant of Emperor Qianqing when she was young. Although the harem is not allowed to engage in politics, the empress dowager's iron wrist is unstoppable, and no minister in the court dares to say anything.

The Empress Dowager's voice slowly overflowed, but it made Mother Su's hands and feet cold. From the first day of her duty, she felt that she was unfathomable. She always felt that the more she knew, the more she would be close to death.

"What a life-threatening person."

The Empress Dowager sighed faintly, and she didn't know who to say this sentence to. She was so scared that Mother Su immediately knelt on the ground and kept kowtowed her head: "The Empress Dowager, please forgive me, the Empress Dowager."

"Look at you, my family didn't say anything about you."

There seemed to be a gentle laughter, but it made the listener's nerves to the highest point. Mother Su raised her head and saw the Empress Dowager raising her thin eyebrows and looking at her fixedly. Mother Su immediately felt a strange wind behind her, which made her bones rattle, but there was no more sound in her mouth.

"M Mother Su, you have been with your family for decades. Why can't you learn from A Yue's nature?"

Mama Su knew that A Yue was the daughter of the empress dowager. She was calm and calm, but she became the scapegoat of the empress dowager because of the palace fight. A Yue's death, the year before her death, Mother Su entered the palace. A Yue's death was also a wound in the heart of the Empress Dowager. It was extremely obscure. Usually, no one dared to mention it, but now it was proposed by herself. Suddenly, it was like a basin of cold water poured down and cold to her bones.

"You have learned a lot about the stupidity of A Yue's girl. If it hadn't been for the mourning family, I'm afraid that your life would have known where to be reincarnated long ago. Mother Su, you are the only reliable person around the mourning family now. How can you be so afraid of me?"

What the Empress Dowager said made Mother Su feel shocked, a little wronged, and dared not breathe.

"Don't worry. The mourning family's heart is not so hard. The mourning family knows that you are also a loyal person, otherwise you will not have accompanied the mourning family for so many years."

"The Empress Dowager's kindness to the old slave is unforgettable."

M Mother Su took the words and remembered those old things, and she didn't feel bitter in her heart.

"In this way, the mourning family will also tell you that the woman who is now on the bed is the murderer of the former emperor, but she is also the benefactor who saved the world of the Northern Qiu Dynasty and the emperor's heart. Mother Su, if you were the family, what would you do?"

Mama Su was shocked. She just wanted to ask if she was stopped by the Empress Dowager, but now she took the initiative to tell her and kicked the ball in her direction.

If she answered that she was killing, then she would kill the benefactor of the Beiqiu Dynasty, which violated the morality of the world, and would also anger the emperor. However, if she said she would not kill, the woman did not kill the former emperor, and framed the fifth prince, resulting in the tragic death of the fifth prince, then the empress dowager must have some resentment against her.

Kill or not, how can it be decided by her little slave?

"The Empress Dowager has actually made a decision in her heart, hasn't she?"

She bumped into courage and guessed boldly from the behavior of the Empress Dowager just now, but she was still scared and a little afraid.

"She doesn't deserve to die."

The Empress Dowager's words were unexpected by Mother Su. She did not deserve to die, that is, the woman who killed her son and her own grandson, but she told her that the woman did not die.

"Empress dowager, the old slave doesn't understand."

"You don't understand."

The Empress Dowager smiled and showed a trace of pain in her eyes: "What is really damned is the bloodline of the Beiqiu royal family. The endless court struggle. Those people always do not hesitate to step on the heads and blood of their closest relatives to gain the power that cannot belong to them. Such a subversion and inhuman slaughter is the root of everything. In fact, it was not her who really killed the former emperor and the fifth son.

"What the Empress Dowager said was the fifth prince."

M Mother Su guessed boldly and bit her lips and contained blood.

"What the mourning family is talking about is fate, which is a disaster that everyone has to experience. While choosing love, the girl also chose the world, which is gratifying to the mourning family."

"You will never understand this."

After the empress dowager finished speaking, she turned to the woman on the couch and tweed the quilt, pulled down the mangan, and then turned around: "Tomorrow, the mourning family will make a decree for the emperor. This time, the Beiqiu army was able to win a great victory, and the Hua concubine's contribution is indispensable. She specially made this woman as the imperial concubine and gave her a letter seal to show her a reward. You will draw up other rewards for the mourning family. ."

M Mother Su got the order of the Empress Dowager and immediately bent down: "The old slave obeys."

"It's getting late. Let's go back to the palace and order it. There is no need for anyone to disturb Concubine Hua."

After saying that, the Empress Dowager raised her arm. Mother Su immediately got up from the ground and quickly walked over to help her. Then she walked out of the hall with the Empress Dowager. Seeing that the guards immediately ordered to strengthen the inspection near Zihua Palace, she must ensure the safety of Concubine Hua.

After the Empress Dowager left, not far from the Zihua Palace, a small figure came out of the dark. The moonlight was dim and the woman's appearance could not be seen clearly, but looking at the Minghua palace costume, it was like a noble dress in the palace. The woman stayed for a long time, her arms hidden in her sleeves trembled, and the light in her eyes were also cold. Hui.

When the patrolling soldier came close, the woman's body flashed and quickly disappeared behind the rockery.

The night was quiet, and the incense burner in Zihua Palace overflowed. A maid came in from the outside with a medicine bag to be fried in her hand. She heard the cough of the woman in the hall, but she didn't see anyone in it. She didn't care to decoct the medicine first and ran into the inner hall.
