Chapter 565: June Palace
Xie Yu's expression was still calm, but he was in a bad mood. I wonder what he was thinking about?
Lin Junxue remained silent and glanced at the deep murderous intent hidden in Xie Yu's eyes.
well
Xie Yu has already had murderous intentions towards the Queen Mother
If the Queen Mother gets better one day, then there will naturally be a fuss, and by then, nothing can be concealed.
Given Xie Yu's ruthlessness, he would definitely not let the Queen Mother live too long.
The Queen Mother had been scheming all her life, but in the end she died at the hands of Xie Yu.
The killing of mother and son is the retribution that the empress dowager deserves for her many evil deeds.
A gleam of light flashed across Lin Junxue's eyes. If the root of the problem is eradicated, it is possible to recover from the stroke.
Therefore, in order to eliminate future troubles, I think Xie Yu will take care of the Empress Dowager's life without her having to do anything.
As soon as Xie Yu returned to Taiwu Hall, he asked Gao Cheng to convey the message to Wang Chu privately.
Inside Taiwu Hall
Afternoon
The warm and soft sunlight is like a golden veil.
It passed through the intricately carved window lattice and gently fell on Xie Yu.
The light was mottled and bright as day, as if it could illuminate the deepest corners of Xie Yu's heart.
It is dark and deep, as if hiding countless unknown secrets.
The interweaving of light and dark was like a mysterious and charming painting, enveloping Xie Yu.
He stood there quietly, his figure as straight as a pine tree, wearing a golden dragon robe.
The dark face is half visible in the sunlight, while the other half is hidden in the shadows.
The killing intention has arisen
Wang Chu kneels down
"Your servant pays respects to His Majesty."
Xie Yu turned around and looked at Wang Chu who was kneeling on the ground. After a while, he spoke
"Get up. I called you here today because I have a mission for you. If you do a good job, I will not treat you unfairly."
Wang Chu was terrified
"I obey your orders, Your Majesty."
The June sun became increasingly hotter, as if it was going to melt the entire earth.
As the temperature gradually rose, everyone in the palace changed into light summer clothes to cope with the hot summer.
Ever since the Empress Dowager suffered a stroke, she has been living in Ci'an Palace and has never gone out.
Now, more than a month has passed...
No one knew that the Queen Mother's body would not last more than two months.
During this period of time, the harem was surprisingly calm, without any disturbances.
The much-anticipated Concubine Mi is carrying a nearly seven-month-old fetus in her belly.
When the Queen Mother was still alive, Concubine Mi had to be on guard every day, walking on thin ice, and taking every step with fear.
However, since the Queen Mother suffered a stroke, Concubine Mi's life has become more and more comfortable.
After the imperial physician's diagnosis, she got what she wished for, the baby in her belly was a boy.
Although Chen Mi concealed the news from the outside, he could not hide it from Lin Junxue.
She knew about this incident that day.
Zhonghe Palace
Danzhen is fanning Lin Junxue
"Your Highness, why is it so hot in June this year? On weekdays, when I go out, I sweat all over. When I come back, I have to change clothes. Fortunately, we have cold feet in Zhonghe Palace. It is most comfortable to stay in our palace."
Lin Junxue was wearing a white gauze dress as thin as a cicada's wing, lying lazily on the couch.
Her graceful figure was faintly visible against the backdrop of the tulle.
It is like a white lotus blooming in the morning mist, fresh, refined and yet inspiring.
A head of black and shiny long hair fell on the edge of the couch like a waterfall.
She closed her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, revealing a sense of tranquility.
A jade hand was gently placed on the cheek, the skin was as white as snow, delicate as mutton-fat jade, and exuded a charming luster.
There was a pot of beautiful flowers in front of the couch, with crystal clear dewdrops hanging on the petals.
breeze blows
Sending waves of delicate floral fragrance, lingering around Lin Junxue
Lin Junxue slowly opened her eyes and picked up the travel journal at hand...
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs should distribute more of the ice this year."
Danzhen nodded
"Your Highness, I understand. I will give the order later. However, in the past, the amount of ice in each palace was determined based on the degree of favor of the concubines every summer. In the past two years, you have specially issued an order that all concubines, whether they are favored or of lower rank, can get some, so that everyone can have an easier time. However, this summer, the harem can have a peaceful life. Those who are too hot have no intention of competing for favor."
Lin Junxue curled her lips
"The original intentions of the women who entered the palace to compete for favor were actually similar."
"First, it is naturally for the glory and interests of the family behind it. After all, if we prosper together, we prosper together, and if we suffer together, we suffer together. If we can get the favor of the emperor, then the family can take advantage of this to rise rapidly and enjoy wealth and glory."
"The second reason is that I want to live a better life, with fine clothes, delicious food, and silk and satin. If I can live better, there will be less calculation and conspiracy."
Qiao Xin came in carrying some iced fruit.
"That's what your majesty is saying. Just now, someone entered the Shenguang Palace. It was a midwife sent to the palace by the Chen family. I think she must have been carefully selected by the Chen family. Concubine Mi's baby is the greatest support for the Chen family in the future, so they must be very concerned about it."
Lin Junxue put down the book in her hand
The Queen Mother is no longer a threat and won't be around for long.
The Chen Guogong Mansion, which has cooperated with the Queen Mother for many years, is her biggest hidden danger.
Once Chen Mi gives birth to the child in her belly, if it is a prince.
The first person that Duke Chen wanted to eliminate was the queen.
Duke Chen planned for decades and finally achieved his goal with great ambition.
The future throne
Therefore, she, the queen, is the biggest obstacle to Concubine Mi and is the one that cannot be kept in the eyes of Duke Chen.
The person she will face next is probably not the secret concubine in the palace, but the old Duke Chen who has been hiding for many years and is unfathomable.
She's not the Queen Mother.
The means in the palace may not be appreciated by this old Duke Chen.
Naturally, she would not underestimate the old Duke Chen. It was time to meet him.
"In half a month it will be Duke Chen's birthday. The Duke's Mansion will definitely hold a grand celebration. Get ready. I want to meet this highly respected and respected minister who has been trusted by the Emperor for many years and a veteran of two dynasties."
Qiao Xin frowned
"Your Majesty has an idea. I'm afraid it won't be easy to ask the Emperor to take you out of the palace for a banquet. Are you sure?"
Lin Junxue curled her lips
"Of course it's not easy, but now that Concubine Mi has been in the palace for many years, she is finally pregnant. It happens to be my grandfather's birthday. In order to show the emperor's grace, this matter will not be difficult."
If he wanted to leave the palace to see the old Duke Chen, he would naturally have to go through Chen Mi's hand, which would be a natural and appropriate thing to do.
Qiao Xin's eyes lit up
"Your Highness, I understand. In order to show the emperor's favor, Concubine Mi will leave the palace and be accompanied by the emperor and empress. The Duke's Mansion is naturally willing to do this. I think Concubine Mi will not be able to refuse this. In this way, Your Highness can meet this old Duke Chen."
Lin Junxue nodded
"Well, wait a minute, you go and invite the emperor over in person, and tell him that I have prepared fine wine and delicious food for him to taste."
Qiao Xin agreed
Dan Zhen asked, "Your Majesty, should we ask the kitchen to prepare the food that the emperor likes to eat?"
Lin Junxue shook her head, she already had an idea in mind
Since you have something to ask for, you should pay attention to it.
