Dozens of candles were lit on the exquisite copper lampstands, but the queen's bedroom was so spacious that the light was still a little dim through the curtains deep in the palace; the purple silk was a heavy color, which added to the ancient and dark tone.
In the palace at night, the fair and delicate faces of the queen and the young maid in such a dark tone gave people a strange illusion. The night can turn people into this. Fu Shi completely lost the grandeur she had in the palace during the day.
The maid fell at Fu's feet, trembling with fear, her whole body showing fear. Will I die? I don't want to die yet. She spoke in an almost pleading tone.
Fu just used nice words to explain the pros and cons, but she only said it once and then she said no more. After a moment of silence, she said coldly: I can give you a little more time, and you will tell me.
Yes, the maid would definitely tell it. She could either tell a lie if she could make it up in a short time without any loopholes so that even the Queen would believe it, and she would have to have the courage to lie in front of someone who held the power of life and death; or she could only tell the truth. No matter what she chose, she had to tell it.
If she tells the truth, she may not die, and she will have the chance to gain recognition from the most powerful woman in the harem. If she doesn't tell the truth, she will definitely die. The queen has made it very clear before that the emperor often went to war before and after he ascended the throne. She has the greatest power in the palace, and her family is also very powerful. She can protect her people. Unless something happens that the queen can't protect her, then no one in the palace can protect this maid. If a little maid gets into trouble with the queen, even if she doesn't die, she will probably be trembling with fear every day.
Today, Fu was indeed different from his usual self and showed his cruel side.
The harem was not usually like this. Since Fu entered the palace, she had been dignified and generous, always treating people kindly and generously. Her relationship with concubines, eunuchs and palace maids was not so tense, and she did not intimidate people with high-pressure and terrorist means; on the contrary, everyone was in awe of her, respected and loved her, and were grateful for the queen's kindness.
But in today's incident, she really did something unscrupulous.
The maid lay at her feet for a long time, and finally spoke: "Mrs. Mu sent someone to clean the bedroom of Zichen Palace yesterday afternoon. The floor was wiped clean, and the order was issued that no other palace servants were allowed to enter the bedroom and dirty the floor that day. I stayed until the end, and then hid under the foot of the bed."
I was so scared that I dared not move. I wanted to take a nap until night, but I couldn't sleep. I stayed up until the second watch, and heard the sound of the night watch outside. After a while, the emperor came in and summoned Qin Meiren to sleep with him. After Qin Meiren entered the palace, she spoke respectfully. After the emperor sent away all the servants, she became bold and frivolous, and even laughed and scolded the emperor. The emperor did not get angry, and even talked and laughed with Qin Meiren about the queen. Can I not repeat those frivolous words? I really can't remember them all. I just silently recited the important words in my heart.
Fu also cursed in her heart: I thought that being dignified and polite would make the emperor value me, but I didn't expect that he liked frivolous and playful women.
She said calmly: Just tell me, just tell me as much as you remember.
The palace maid whispered: Concubine Qin said, the emperor went on a military expedition for several months, and only visited me on the night he came back. He said sweet words to me, but he forgot about them as soon as he turned around, and did not summon the emperor for several days. She said, there are other people in the palace, I am doing this for your own good, aren't you afraid of jealousy by favoring only you? Concubine Qin said, if the emperor makes me a concubine, he won't be afraid of jealousy from others. The emperor said, a mother is honored by her son, if you give me a son, I can make you a concubine and win the support of the people.
When Fu heard this, she was puzzled: the emperor who gave birth to a son was not ill, so how could he ask the concubine to give birth to a son if he was ill
She finally couldn't help interrupting the palace maid and asked anxiously: Did the emperor visit Lady Qin last night
The palace maid said: Yes, later on, Concubine Qin screamed very wantonly, shouting that the emperor was so powerful and that she was going to die. She was not afraid of being heard by people outside. I was so embarrassed when I heard it under the bed.
Fu couldn't help it when she heard this, and cursed angrily in a deep voice: "This lowly slut actually said such words in the palace!" Before she finished her words, there was a sound of "click", and the hem of the silk top was torn by her delicate hands. Her anger was self-evident, and even the palace maids who were kneeling to report were worried for Concubine Qin.
However, Fu was obviously angry at Concubine Qin, not the maid. Seeing that the queen hated Concubine Qin so much, the maid was afraid, but inexplicably wanted to speak more, and she spoke more vigorously: The emperor not only did not think she was lowly, but also praised her. But after only a short while, Concubine Qin yelled, and the bed suddenly became quiet. Then the emperor spoke again, "Am I really that powerful?" Concubine Qin said in a coquettish voice, "The emperor is the emperor, the most powerful in the world." The emperor said, "You have only seen me, and you speak as if you can compare with others. And I know you must have said something false.
Lady Qin panicked, "I dare not deceive the emperor." The emperor smiled and said, "I know you want to please me, don't be afraid, I don't blame you." The emperor sighed again and said, "For the great cause of the world, I have been exposed to the wind and rain and injured many times. If it were before, I could let you see how powerful I really am." Lady Qin said, "I am very satisfied that the emperor loves me."
The maid paused and suddenly stopped talking. Fu felt that she had not finished her words, so she said: You must have something more important to say, otherwise you can't be so scared based on these.
The maid turned pale, and after a moment of embarrassment, she lowered her voice and said in a whisper: "Please understand, Queen, you are the mother of the country, and I don't have the courage to provoke you and the emperor. It's true that the emperor and Qin Meiren talked about the Queen by the pillow. Qin Meiren asked the emperor, why did you visit several concubines these days but not the Queen? Could it be that the emperor doesn't like the Queen?" The emperor said, "Don't think too much. The Queen's position is not for you." Qin Meiren said, "I dare not think about it."
The emperor said, "If you don't dare to think about it, then you are right." The empress is not only the eldest daughter of Fu Yanqing's family, but also the one who was betrothed to the Guo family by the late emperor himself. You still want to touch her. You have too many thoughts and too little experience. When the late emperor's adoptive father was alive, he valued the empress very much. He thought that she was fearless in times of crisis and knew the general situation. In my opinion, the late emperor did not make a mistake in choosing her. It's just that
People are always most concerned about their own affairs. Fu Shi was not so anxious to care whether the beauty Qin was promiscuous or not. But at this moment, she immediately urged: "Just what? What else did the emperor say?"
Congratulations:
The number of readers of Xifengjin was pitifully small, and the zombies in the Ghost Festival event required 2,000 RMB to kill, and there was a time limit of one day. But with our meager strength, we worked together to complete our wish within one day, leaving no regrets.
Today is the official Ghost Festival. I checked and found that our book is the only one in the entire Zongheng website that has killed the ghost king. Completing this activity is certainly not a feat, but I think everyone can enjoy the joy of success and the feeling of being able to do what we want to do. This is not a one-person game, but an expression of everyone's concerted efforts, making friends through books, and sharing joy and spiritual resonance.
For the sake of a lucky draw, the official reward of 10,000 coins was placed on the top post, and everyone invested 200,000 coins. It was just for a lucky omen. Forgive me for being a little superstitious, but I just wanted to get rid of bad luck and welcome good luck. I wish all my friends can get some good luck. I am very touched and thank you all very much. I feel that you have given too much selflessly, and I can give too little in return. I just hope that readers can be in a happy mood every day.
Strong westerly wind
