Red makeup against the world

Chapter 226

When Concubine Fu Xian heard her name was mentioned, she hurriedly got up from her seat, and saluted Empress Cao from a distance: "My Majesty, just now Zhaoyuan said that she was not feeling well, so I asked her to go for a walk."

Empress Cao signaled that she knew and asked her to sit down.Turning to Liu Zhaoyuan, he said, "When you went to the Imperial Garden, did you encounter anything?"

He has a gentle expression on his face, but his eyes are sharp, staring at Liu Zhaoyuan closely.

Liu Zhaoyuan lowered her head slightly, avoiding her sharp gaze, with a calm expression on her face, and said, "My lady, my concubine took Zimo and went to the rockery to meet Shi Jieyu. When she saw no one around, she uttered wild words , laughing at concubines."

Speaking of this, she raised her head, two tears slid down her beautiful face, choked up and said: "She, she also said that the child in the concubine's womb was murdered by her own hands!"

Empress Cao was startled, and she continued to say sadly: "Mother! Before I saw my child with my own eyes, she was killed alive by her!"

This sentence, from the heart, is Liu Zhaoyuan's heartfelt voice, and the desolation in it cannot be concealed even by the hustle and bustle of the stage.Hearing this, Empress Cao felt pity.

They are all mothers, and Empress Cao also has her own sad things, but she usually covers them up very well.

Shanmei handed over a simple handkerchief, Liu Zhaoyuan took it, and gently wiped off the tears: "I hope you will forgive me, today is the emperor's birthday, this is a great day, the concubine lost her temper!"

Empress Cao waved her hand and said, "As far as love goes, I can't blame you."

Liu Zhaoyuan calmed down, and continued: "She thought that there was no one around, but she didn't expect that the emperor brought people over from the other side of the rockery. This is exactly what happens when evil is rewarded!"

A few simple words, the intersection of fiction and reality, true and false, made the whole thing clear.

Of course Empress Cao knew that the truth of the matter was by no means so simple.If Shi Xinmei is really a self-satisfied person, how can she climb to the position of Jieyu?But her position is aloof, and she didn't want to care about the grievances between these concubines.

But as the master of the harem, it is her job to ensure that the harem continues to operate without any disturbance.She had to figure out the movements and thoughts of these concubines in the palace one by one.

In the past, she watched coldly, this Liu Zhaoyuan was kind of innocent.But ever since she gave birth in the old year, Yijing Palace has been left in the cold, and she has stayed behind closed doors.It was only after many years that he returned to the sight of the palace again, and his behavior was a bit unclear.

At this time, Liu Zhaoyuan was called to come over, just to beat her and tell her not to exceed the bottom line.

Hearing what she said, it was almost the same as what the little palace maid said before, so she nodded and said: "The law of heaven is clear, and retribution is not good. If this is the case, you should feel at ease!"

Liu Zhaoyuan nodded silently, and said softly, "Your Majesty, I have a request from my concubine."

"Tell me to take a look." Empress Cao took a sip of tea and looked at her.

"The concubine is thinking, now the truth is revealed, the child is also of royal blood, and the spirit in heaven should rest. I want to do a rebirth ceremony for him, to comfort him, and let him go to reincarnation with peace of mind!" Liu Zhaoyuan said slowly to her thoughts. Come on.

Empress Cao pondered slightly, it is said that Liu Zhaoyuan was less than two months old when she conceived, and the child had not yet formed.This ritual is not done according to the old practice.

But Liu Zhaoyuan's case is quite special, after all, she was poisoned by Shi Xinmei, and now she has successfully got the real culprit to plead guilty.Going through the matter quickly in her mind, Shanmei saw that she was hesitant, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "After Shi Xinmei was convicted, when the emperor left, he told Liu Zhaoyuan to talk to Yijing Palace tonight."

Empress Cao's heart moved, yes, in this palace, the east wind always overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.Now that Shi Xinmei was executed and Liu Zhaoyuan regained the emperor's favor, after this encounter, she also had some means and scheming.It's a trivial matter, it's better to let her go.

It's not that she, the master of the harem, is afraid of her, but why bother to untie a knot at this moment?If it is agreed and a good relationship will be formed, why not do it?
Putting down the teacup, Empress Cao said in a deep voice, "Actually, there was no such case."

After a pause, seeing Liu Zhaoyuan nervously waiting for the next sentence, he said again: "But as a mother, I also feel pity for this child. You can go and make arrangements for this ritual. It's just that it is not suitable for the imperial temple. , go to the 'Dabei Temple', which is also where Buddhism flourishes."

Hearing this, Liu Zhaoyuan left the spring bench, Yingying bowed deeply, and said: "The kindness of the empress, Suying will never forget it in this life!"

Empress Cao signaled Shanmei to help her up, and said with a smile, "Don't do that. If I remember correctly, you are from Jiangnan. You are not familiar with the 'Dabei Temple'."

Turning her head, she said to Miao Fu who had been standing quietly by the side: "Miao Fu, these days, you will go to Yijing Palace to help. Come back after this ceremony is over."

Liu Zhaoyuan felt a shudder on her back, Empress Cao's chances have changed so quickly!Just when she proposed to do something, she figured out the reason behind it, and conveniently placed an eye and ear by her side. The reason is so fair and aboveboard.

Compared with her scheming, these secret methods of her and Shi Xinmei's are nothing but fluff.

She bowed deeply, and respectfully said from the bottom of her heart: "Your Majesty, please take care of me! My concubine thanks you for your kindness!"

Empress Cao said with a smile: "When the ceremony is over, you should clean up your mood. The past is over, and you should serve the emperor well in the future, and stop thinking about it!"

This is to warn her that during the practice, Miao Fu will watch her every move, so don't try to use it as a demon.When this matter is over, don't make any more troubles, and do Zhaoyuan's duties in an An'an manner.

Give a sweet date and add a mallet.

Empress Cao has mastered this move with great proficiency.For a woman like Liu Zhaoyuan who has only been in the palace for a few years, even if she has experienced catastrophe, she can't compare to it.

Seeing that the words were almost hit, the expression on Liu Zhaoyuan's face became more respectful, Empress Cao was satisfied, and asked inadvertently, "Where's your personal maid, Zimo?"

"The concubine came out of the imperial garden and saw that it was getting windy, so she rushed back to get the cloak for the concubine." Hearing her question, Liu Zhaoyuan's heart tightened. Empress Cao really noticed that Zi Mo was not there. Be prepared.

Zi Mo had just rushed over from Yijing Palace not long ago, holding the bundle of cloak, standing silently in the corner panting quietly.

Hearing Empress Cao's inquiry, she hurriedly took a deep breath, trying to keep her breath steady so that people would not see that she was walking all the way.

Then he stepped forward slowly, squatted down and replied, "Please forgive me, empress, empress Zhaoyuan is weak and can't stand the wind. When I went out early in the morning, it was my servant who was negligent and forgot to bring the cloak."

Empress Cao glanced at the bundle on her lap, no matter what secrets Liu Zhaoyuan had, she didn't want outsiders to know.At least this superficial work is done very well.

He didn't want to pursue it at the moment, and said, "Since you are convicted, I will fine you a month's salary, and I will serve your mother well in the future." Zi Mo quickly agreed to pass the test so easily.

After Liu Zhaoyuan's matter was dealt with, Empress Cao seemed to have just remembered, and asked, "By the way, what is Shi Jieyu doing now? Although she is guilty, she is pregnant with the emperor's flesh and blood."
