There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 214 I really need to do it
It was supposed to be a good night under the moon, but now because Tang Wanning was not feeling well, everything was put on hold.

At night, there was a cool breeze outside the window, and a gust of wind blew in through the crack of the window, blowing Tang Wanning's brain soberly.

"Fortunately, fortunately..." She stroked her chest and slowly fell asleep.

Xia Houjue stayed by her side and watched her take medicine to fall asleep before lying down next to her.

He looked at the bright moonlit night outside through the hollowed-out green screen window, but his heart was infinitely at a loss.

'Wanwan, when will you truly belong to me? '

Standing on this high throne of emperor, he is really lonely.

……

In the next few days, the weather became cooler, but Xia Houjue was still very busy.

The Great Xia Dynasty had already decayed and decayed under the hands of Emperor Jing Yuan. Half a year was not enough time for him alone. I am afraid that he would have to work diligently to manage it for the next few years.

As the second half of the year is approaching, the northern border is another big trouble, and the southern border often suffers from floods. I wonder if this autumn will be easier.

The national treasury is still in short supply. If there is a war this year, I'm afraid he won't even be able to pay the soldiers' salaries.

Xia Houjue was busy, Tang Wanning was not idle, and the concubine Xian was still grounded.

Tang Wanning thought about it, but still felt that she should pick a time to visit Concubine Xian, after all, it was a tragedy to be hit by dimensionality reduction.

After having breakfast that day, Tang Wanning dressed up in a fancy dress and went out.

Walking to Concubine Xian's palace, she found that there were many guards and eunuchs guarding the door, which probably meant confinement.

Amidst the sound of respectful salutes, Tang Wanning led the people to the main hall in a mighty manner.

"The empress is here!" the little eunuch announced loudly.

Concubine Xian was already dressed in plain clothes, she took off her hairpin and knelt there to greet her: "See empress empress!"

"Be flat!"

Tang Wanning entered the door generously, accepted her kneeling, and sat down on her seat in the main hall.

"Thank you, ma'am!" Concubine Xian stood aside after getting up, her face was very haggard, she was dressed in plain clothes, how could she still have the posture of the lord of the six palaces before?

"It's been a few days, Concubine Xian is safe and well!" Tang Wanning took the teacup handed over by the maid with a half-smile, she didn't drink it, and just picked the tea leaves leisurely with the lid of the cup.

"Empress, please forgive me. It's because the concubine was fooled by lard for a while. The concubine listened to the instigation of those two sluts, Concubine Tao and Concubine Du. It's all the concubine's fault!"

She knelt down again, this kneeling meant to plead guilty.

"Oh? It was all instigated by others, and you don't want to bring me down?" Tang Wanning raised her eyebrows.

"Speaking of which, I can't blame you for not being reconciled. It was the emperor who first got to know you, fell in love with you, and originally planned to marry you as the crown prince. My appearance was just an imperial decree from the late emperor, and it was nothing more than a sideshow."

"The Queen's Empress knows that the concubine has no two hearts, the concubine...the concubine is just..."

"Okay!" Tang Wanning sneered ironically.

"I've held back my temper for so long, and I thought you were a smart person with backbone and blood, but I didn't expect you to be this cowardly in the end. I really regret coming to see you!"

She thought Concubine Xian would point at her nose and scold herself, accusing herself of robbing her lover who originally belonged to her.

If this is the case, she can praise her as a heroine and a kind-hearted person, but what is this now, she completely admits it?It's really blinding.

"Empress, this concubine is wrong, this concubine is really wrong, this harem is still your world after all, this concubine should not act recklessly with the rights you gave me, I just ask you to forgive me once, don't let me I'm going to the cold palace, I..." Concubine Xian was in so much pain that she wanted to live.

"Could it be that the emperor said something to you?" Tang Wanning raised her eyebrows.

"Your Majesty..." At the mention of these two words, Concubine Xian was in pain.

"The emperor said, as long as your empress forgives, the emperor will not pursue it! Empress, I was wrong, I was really wrong, the lives of more than three hundred members of my Meng family are in your hands, empress Please save my concubine!"

"Huh?" Wasn't it just a fight in the palace, as for the court being involved?What kind of jokes are there for more than three hundred people in Meng's family.

"The emperor really said that?" Tang Wanning asked.

"Yes! I also ask the empress to be kind, and I also ask the empress to be kind!" Concubine Xian kowtowed her head again and again.

Tang Wanning looked at her gradually swollen cheeks, thought for a moment and then waved.

"Okay, I promise you! This matter will not be pursued!"

Before the words fell, before Concubine Lian Xian got excited, the two of them, Bi Yue and Bi Luo, covered their chests first.

'Listen to what the master is saying, she must have a fever, right? '

'That is, this should be placed in the northwest, this person has been beaten and disabled long ago, okay? '

The two exchanged glances with each other, but finally shut their mouths and lowered their heads under Tang Wanning's cool gaze.

Concubine Xian was so excited that she kowtowed desperately.

"Thank you Empress, thank you Empress!"

"Since the emperor has said so, this palace will have to let go. From now on, you hand over the palace affairs in the palace to Concubine Gao. You can reflect in the palace, and when you come out, follow the emperor's orders!"

"Yes! Thank you, Empress, thank you, Empress!" Concubine Xian burst into tears of gratitude.

This incident ended with Concubine Xian being placed under house arrest, handing over the palace power, and Concubine Tao and Concubine Du being thrown into the cold palace.

Coming out of Concubine Xian's palace, Tang Wanning's steps became much lighter.

Biyue and Biluo couldn't hold back anymore, but Tang Wanning wanted to tease them, so she wandered outside for a long time and didn't go back until the end.

"Master, why did you spare Concubine Xian so easily! She really has a dark heart and wants you to die!" Bi Yue gritted her teeth.

"That's right, this servant feels that this person should also enter the cold palace!"

"Not only do you have to enter the cold palace, but you also don't give her food, don't give her maids, don't give her extra money, and let her fend for herself!"

The more the two talked, the more outrageous it became, Tang Wanning giggled while eating melon seeds.

"You two are too naive. After all, their Meng family is the number one scholarly family. It is still useful for the emperor to keep it!"

The Great Xia Dynasty’s national power was strong but the treasury was empty. It had not been a day or two for aristocratic families to encircle wealth. These people were like moths in the court, clinging to the luxuriant tree trunks and sucking up all the blood.

"You said... If there is a flood in the south and a war in the north this year, where will the emperor get the money?"

Biluo was the first to understand: "It's probably enough to copy a corrupt official!"

"So, the emperor must collect evidence again, but before that, we can't act rashly, let alone startle the snake, so as not to cause trouble!"

"So that's how it is! It's not that they won't copy, the time has not come yet!" Bi Yue also realized.

Tang Wanning continued to eat melon seeds and read the script, and secretly scolded Xia Houjue in her heart: This bastard is too ignorant of conscience, Concubine Renxian has been with him for so many years anyway, tsk tsk tsk!It's really worth it.
