Chapter 407 Persecution

In the Changning Palace, the Empress Dowager West glanced lightly at the concubines, bowed her head and took a sip of tea. The hollowed-out tin flower armor on her little finger was slightly lifted, and the agate inlaid on it was shining brightly.

There is only one person missing here. Concubine Xi is really courageous.

Sitting on the imperial chariot, Mu Xiyao stared angrily at the man with a dragon and a phoenix beside her, but she saw that this man was dressed in a uniform and a heroic posture, under the twelve-pronged crown, his pair of phoenix eyes were calm and unwavering. The already handsome face was even more radiant. Just talking about this appearance, it's really hard to move your eyes away.

Being stared at by her so "admiringly" for a long time, Emperor Jian'an took Mu Xiyao's soft and boneless little hand and gently held it in his palm.

"Is Jiaojiao broken by Yingwei?"

... this man.

Boss, even if you want to seduce my concubine, I will know how you are. Yingwei... I'm afraid it's only related to the love between the bed.

Glancing at him tenderly, Zongzheng Lin felt her small eyes, and the movement of stroking the back of her hand inexplicably brought out a trace of charm.

"Your Majesty, my concubine's legs are still sore right now. Please take care of me if you are punished later." It was polite to mention that her legs were weak, but her whole body was sore even with her waist, and she almost couldn't get up. .

very good. The beloved woman turned the corner to praise her, the man's eyes flickered, and his fingertips touched her rouged lips, his words were extremely light. "It's rare for a little goblin to be so happy. I should love and protect her."

Last night, she was dressed as a little eunuch, and it was very pleasant to be under her body. Although he doesn't have any obsession with Long Yang, occasionally he has some crooked thoughts, which are also thoughts that normal men would have. After all, the Great Wei Dynasty couldn't help but be masculine, he never kept young actors and actresses, he was already an unusual number among the rich and powerful.

Just in the Hall of Xihe, with Mu Xiyao Dunlun who was dressed in men's clothing, Zong Zhenglin had already experienced the joy of having an affair that was part taboo and part part love affair. Next time, I must take her to the Qinzheng Hall for a try.

Mu Xiyao didn't know how she was being molested by the man beside her, but she only knew that in broad daylight, she was molested by Zong Zhenglin. This man is dressed in a dragon robe, and the words he speaks do not match his identity.

A small hand climbed up to his waist, and was about to stretch out his claws, but when he didn't want to, Zong Zhenglin lifted his jaw with two fingers. The man stared intently at her face, with an unpredictable expression in his bottomless eyes, as if a force was about to drag her in, Mu Xiyao couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

His eyes were bright, and only her figure was reflected in his eyes. The two of them were so close, and when his eyelashes were lightly touched by his calloused fingertips, Mu Xiyao blinked her beautiful eyes without realizing it, and slowly blushed.

There are still many palace people following outside, and the imperial chariot just passes outside Feng'an Palace. Only separated by a layer of curtains, the inside is full of ambiguous entanglements. Take a casual look, and you can't think of the current situation of the two of them. If people in the East Palace Empress Dowager's Palace saw her biting her ears and chewing her tongue in private, Mu Xiyao would only feel a little embarrassed if the emperor concubine flirted with outsiders like this and spread it.

Fortunately, since the palace was moved to this point, the person from the East Palace has stayed behind closed doors, even if he pays his respects twice a month, he can avoid it if he can. If it weren't for the big event in the Sixth Palace, it would be rare to see him face to face. The Empress Dowager's behavior seems to have the intention of retiring.

Seeing her blushing little face dodge slightly, Zong Zhenglin's eyes flashed, and the little girl was still teasing her so casually. Cuddling her gently into his arms, seeing the two wide-open doors of Changning Palace in front of him, his eyes, which were originally pleasant, quickly flashed a little solemn.

"No one here can deceive you except me."

"The emperor is here! Concubine Xi is here!" The little eunuch sang a sharp promise, which suddenly broke the peace in the hall.

Together with the empress dowager sitting high above the head, all the people in the palace looked out the door together. Looking at the figure that came with the pair, no matter how unwilling, the queen also brought a group of concubines to stand up and salute respectfully, not daring to neglect in the slightest.

Seeing the youngest son who satisfied her most, the former Concubine Shu, and now the Empress Dowager of the West Palace, her complexion finally softened a little. But this kindness, when he saw the beautiful woman beside him, gradually restrained himself.

Before Mu Xiyao could salute according to the rules, the Empress Dowager stopped her loudly, looking her up and down for quite a while, seemingly puzzled.

"Chen Shi got the news, but is the imperial concubine not in good health?"

Well, she didn't say a word, this one has already put a hat on. If she agrees, she will be able to withdraw her brand along the way. If not, please be late this morning, there must be an explanation.

Not panicking at all, Mu Xiyao lowered her brows and lowered her eyes, following the rules that should be there, very decent. Since Zong Zhenglin arranged this, the man must have thought about it. It will never make her suffer.

Sure enough, all the people in the palace saw that Noble Concubine Xi was about to perform the ceremony, so the Lord Long Live gave her a hand and allowed her to take her seat first. Fu turned back to care about the Queen Mother's daily life and food, but quietly brought the Queen Mother's question to her.

In front of the concubines in the harem, although the Empress Dowager Xi was angry, she could not embarrass her son. Reluctantly curling the corners of her mouth, she didn't take another look at Mu Xiyao.

Greetings this time, the empress dowager has mentioned the matter of drafting before the emperor, she is virtuous and magnanimous to the empress, and she has a lot of praise.

Helian Minmin's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly looked up at the first emperor. She knew better than anyone else that the man would definitely not like to see this matter. But she is also forced by the situation, is it possible that she can still disobey the Queen Mother?

Draft? When Zong Zhenglin caught Helian's anxious eyes, he understood instantly. Still leaning sideways and patiently listening to the Empress Dowager's chatter, with no expression of emotion or anger.

The left hand that was resting on the knee slowly raised the fingers, this action happened to be seen by Mu Xiyao, who was quietly pretending to be well-behaved, and her doubts became more serious.

She had noticed earlier that Zong Zhenglin's attitude towards Concubine Shu had changed. The son who had always been respectful and filial suddenly seemed to have a gap. In the past, it was sometimes mentioned that she took the two children to greet her diligently, but in the past month, this man never mentioned this matter again.

Continuing with the inexplicable depression that night, Mu Xiyao secretly inquired afterwards, apart from worrying about the late Emperor's illness, she could only be involved with Concubine Shu.

Until she learned of the late emperor's edict, Mu Xiyao thought he had gotten the news early, and was worried that Concubine Shu would not be able to bear the excitement, her mood would not be smooth, and she even lost patience with Cheng Qing Cheng You.

But gradually, I found something was wrong. Just before entering the palace, he suddenly embraced her. She still thought this man was funny when he said "no one can deceive you". Even if she said a word of love, she did not forget to put aside her own bullying.

Now to capture his usual movements... In Mu Xiyao's lowered eyes, the divine light kept flickering.

Was she missing something extremely important?

"Imperial concubine?" Awakened by the sudden high voice in the hall, the distracted person hurriedly straightened his sitting posture with a smile on his face.

"The Ai family just said about drafting for the emperor, what does the imperial concubine think?" Because she lowered her head, the empress dowager thought that this woman was not willing to share favor with her. When it comes to business, you think you can avoid it by ignoring it? There is no small skill in pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Mu Xiyao felt helpless. When your son is not on the throne, the concubine is a child-bearing treasure. At this moment, Zong Zhenglin had to inherit the orthodoxy, and there were no more scruples to hinder him. The concubine, who has made great achievements in childbirth, should be squeezed out and thrown aside. Instead, it has become a scourge that hinders him from spreading his branches and leaves?

She understood the reason, and the most appropriate response was not being unable to pretend. But at this time, there must be a choice when hugging the thigh.

The empress dowager speaks a lot in the harem, no matter how tyrannical, can she still overwhelm the current emperor? Besides, this Long Live God was not born to be obedient.

Just as she was about to reply with a smile, she suddenly noticed two scorching gazes from above, staring at her so firmly that she was almost choked by herself.

Well, the mother and son disagreed, and the big boss didn't make it clear, but only watched her closely. Presumably, she was thinking that if she dared to be ignorant, she would have to hold someone to clean up when she went back.

Thinking of last night, the man said "I love you. Jiaojiao, believe me." Repeatedly repeated in her ear several times. He finally understood that he tossed her so hard that she couldn't get up, and at this moment he was extremely silent, and he didn't get out of the siege with her for only one thing!

Your Majesty, you are really worrying too much! Courtiers and concubines don't have so much flirtatiousness, and if they want to please both sides, they will eventually lose sight of the other.

This time he smiled sincerely. In front of everyone, he raised his eyes timidly. His eyes were on Jian'an Emperor's majestic figure, and his beautiful eyes flashed, so shy.

"As far as the Empress Dowager is concerned, the courtiers and concubines will listen to the emperor's orders regarding the draft." The voice was soft, and Jiao Didi's cheeks were flushed.

These words are lingering and full of trust. Eighty percent of the women in the hall wished they could tear up this seductive goblin, and dared to flatter the lord in the empress dowager's palace!

The Empress Dowager might as well make her look so rascal, she straightened her waist, and looked at her carefully for a moment.

Yes, this woman is not easy to deal with. How many murderous and awe-inspiring crises in the late emperor's time were easily resolved by her. At that time, I only felt that she was capable, and she was the only one in the back house who could help the sixth children. Unexpectedly, this ability is now used to play tricks on her.

The world has changed over time, and the Mu girl back then is now nothing more than a concubine in the harem who is devoted to pampering her. The Empress Dowager looked away, feeling displeased with the imperial concubine in her heart. From now on, I'm afraid I'll have to figure it out, and only after careful consideration can I deal with her slowly.

After all, the queen mother has been in the harem for a long time, and she knows that the emperor is still passionate about this woman, so it is not appropriate to argue openly. On the face, he remained calm, and did not make things difficult for Mu Xiyao anymore.

The Empress Empress' morality is a little shallow, and the imperial concubine said "I will listen to the emperor", so I couldn't hold back my face.

She really knows the rules! As for the draft, it is the Queen Mother and Queen who decide in the harem. I asked the emperor for instructions, and if it is feasible, I will inform the Ministry of Accounts before issuing a document.

Mrs. Mu directly curry favor with the emperor, this is obviously not paying attention to the Queen Mother and her, and went over directly. Being humiliated in front of women in the harem, the queen naturally couldn't give her a good look.

In Changning Palace, Concubine Xi is the target of public criticism at this moment. Occupying the sacred favor on his body, he also dictates his actions without any scruples.

It's that everyone is tired of her, but the man in charge of the world has become more and more fond of her.

The little girl behaved very well today, especially in line with his wishes. It was not in vain to remind her again and again yesterday. The little thing is clever, even if he forced her to cut off her back in front of the queen mother and cling to him wholeheartedly, she immediately recalled it, very sharp and decisive.

That's fine. Since he forced her to cut off her escape route, he would protect her mother and son wholeheartedly.

Zong Zhenglin turned his head and looked at the Empress Dowager facing him, still loving and kind, as if waiting for his reply. From the corner of the eye, he caught sight of Mu Xiyao pretending to be sitting upright, with small eyes sneaking at him from time to time, pricking up his ears as if listening, Emperor Jian'an's heart burst into joy, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"The queen mother is in charge."
