Chapter 445

"The queen killed your sister and your cousin. Just keep in mind that she is the biggest enemy of our Liu family!" Liu Chengtian looked sad.

"Humph! I will make her fall out of favor completely and make her life better than death!" Liu Yanran said sinisterly.

The Hongmei Pavilion in late autumn is far from the flowers in summer.

Before Xing An was enthroned, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in Hongmei Pavilion to trample more than half of the dead flower seeds. Recently, Concubine Xiao has been accompanying Long Yan, and Cheng Huan Shengyan rarely takes care of the garden. Naturally, this quiet garden has lost its former style. .

Concubine Xiao seems to have lost her former style.

When Xuanyue saw her, she saw a lustrous Concubine Xiao, and she said worriedly, "Miss Xiao, have you been feeling unwell recently? Would you like me to check your pulse?"

"no need."

Concubine Xiao's face was a little pale, because of the deprivation of her status as a concubine, she had always been unhappy, not in a good mood, and was naturally depressed.

Xuanyue said, "Concubine Xiao, where is the emperor?"

Concubine Xiao said: "The emperor went to Concubine Yu's place for lunch! In the afternoon, he will go to the Pope of Chengde Hall to deal with the affairs of the state, and he will not be able to return until it is dark!"

Xuanyue said: "Your Majesty..."

Concubine Xiao said: "Empress, you should still be called Taishanghuang! It's strange that the two emperors are called like this!"

In fact, it is rare for the emperors of the previous dynasties to cede the throne while they are still alive, so it is very rare for two emperors to appear in one palace.

Xuanyue smiled slightly and said, "Emperor Taishang is already very affectionate to Concubine Xiao. Although you have to take care of many aspects, but coming to accompany you every night, it can be seen that in the heart of Emperor Taishang, the most important person is you!"

Concubine Xiao said: "I envy the queen. You and the emperor are very affectionate, and you are the queen, and you are justified. No matter what you do, you don't have to worry about being criticized!"

"Did something happen? Someone troubled you?" Xuanyue is a very smart person. When she heard Concubine Xiao say such words, she knew that she must have been wronged recently.

"Nothing. Nothing." Concubine Xiao shook her head.

Xuanyue waved at Xiaoqing at the door, called her in and asked, "Xiaoqing, tell me, why is Concubine Xiao unhappy recently? Is it because you are not good at serving her?"

Xiaoqing said a little aggrievedly: "Empress Empress, you don't know something, my wife..."

"shut up!"

Concubine Xiao gave a cold drink.

Xiaoqing closed her mouth nervously, tears rolling in her eyes.

Xuanyue said: "Xiaoqing, don't be afraid! I tell you to say it, you can say it boldly! Your mother-in-law will not punish you!"

Xiaoqing said quickly, "It's Concubine Yu who scolded my mother-in-law!"

Concubine Xiao said, "I told you to talk too much, little girl! She wanted to stop her, but she couldn't."

Xuanyue said: "Concubine Xiao, there are some things you can't hide! Why don't you let Xiaoqing say it?"

Concubine Xiao said lightly: "I know that Empress Empress, you care about me, but I don't want to cause trouble. In fact, Concubine Yu didn't scold me, but when she was going to greet the Empress Dowager, I happened to meet her, and she sneered at me. Just a few words from this palace."

"Sometimes, you don't want to cause trouble, but trouble will cause you!" Xuanyue said coldly: "The best way to solve trouble is to create more trouble for the other party!"

Concubine Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "In the deep palace, many things are beyond your control!"

Xiaoqing said: "Niangniang, what does it mean to be involuntary? Aren't you envied because you were favored by the emperor? The empress dowager has deprived you of your status as a concubine, so you will naturally be subject to many people in the palace. Exclusion and bullying!"

Xuanyue said: "Does the Emperor Taishang care about these things?"

Concubine Xiao said, "He doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of the state anymore, and naturally he has no interest in things like the harem!"

Xuanyue said: "Niangniang, why did the empress dowager deprive you of your status as a concubine? According to the truth, before the emperor abdicated, you were a noble concubine. Now it is a matter of course and justifiable to be granted a concubine to become a concubine! Concubine Yu, Ran Hasn't the concubine already become a concubine? Why is there no reward for you, a noble concubine?"

Concubine Xiao said: "I don't even need to mention this!"

Xuanyue said: "If the niangniang doesn't treat me as an outsider, you can tell me what's on your mind, maybe I can help the niangniang!"

Xiaoqing said anxiously: "Niangniang, please tell the Empress Niangniang! Now the biggest person in the harem is the Empress Niangniang, not the Great Empress Dowager, nor those concubines! Say it, the Queen Niangniang will definitely decide for you!"

"Xiaoqing, today, the Queen's concubine in this palace is staying here for lunch, go and prepare!"

"Miss!"

"Why don't you go soon?" Concubine Xiao frowned!

"Yes! Empress!"

Xiaoqing went away in fear, but her expression was very unwilling.

Xuanyue smiled and said, "Niangniang, why do you blame Xiaoqing? She just loves you, the master."

"Of course Ben Gong knows that Xiaoqing has always followed me. She is very loyal to me. There are not many people around me that I can trust."

Concubine Xiao looked very decadent. Obviously, the struggles in the palace over the years had made her very tired.

But at the end of the fight, she realized that she had lost, and the defeat was a complete defeat!

What's even more sad is that she will never have a chance to turn over again!

Because Long Yan is no longer an emperor, and has become the Supreme Emperor who has retreated behind the scenes, she has no chance to come forward in this dark harem!

"Since Niangniang knows, why is she always so harsh to Xiaoqing?"

"She's a good girl in everything, but she can't control her mouth. She's too impatient. If things go on like this, there will be trouble one day!"

"The maiden was originally there to protect her."

"Although she is a palace maid, I don't want her to be a victim of the harem struggle."

"The lady is really kind-hearted. In fact, I always wanted to ask the lady, the queen mother deprived you of the position of the concubine, is it because the lady and I are too close?"

Xuanyue has always had such doubts.

In the palace, Concubine Xiao actually didn't like to fight with others, so she kept herself safe and kept a low profile as much as possible. She couldn't offend the queen mother.

The only thing that offended the queen mother was the last time she helped Xuan Yue and reported the eldest prince Chong Li for bribery.

That was the only time.

From then on, Concubine Xiao was not welcomed by the Queen Mother.

But this matter, the queen mother should not hold grudges for so long, and also deprived her of the position of concubine that should belong to her.

Concubine Xiao sighed and said, "Do you really want to know?"

Xuanyue nodded and said, "If there is anyone I can help, I am willing to do a little bit for Concubine Xiao!"

Concubine Xiao said: "Before the harem was awarded, the queen mother summoned the palace alone!"

Xuanyue said: "Is it about the position of the concubine?"

Concubine Xiao nodded and said, "The Queen Mother only said four words to me, the evening is not guaranteed!"

Xuanyue said: "What do you mean?"

Concubine Xiao said: "I guess that the Queen Mother means that I have been in the deep palace for so many years, and I have never participated in those intrigues, serving the emperor wholeheartedly, and knowing how to protect myself. But at a critical time, I participated in the struggle and even took the initiative to challenge myself. There was a struggle and I stood on your side. The Queen Mother said that I would not be guaranteed the evening. It also implied that my position as a concubine could not be preserved!"
