Emperor Jin

Chapter 80 Conspiracy
The cold war between the emperor and the empress took longer than everyone imagined. After seven or eight days, the emperor was still angry and no longer had breakfast with the empress. The two went hand in hand The grand scene of the court will never be seen again for a while.

On this day, Baojin was on duty, and at the fourth watch, he got up, changed his clothes, and hurried to the Qianqing Palace.

The sky is still dark and cold, the morning star is shining brightly in the sky, and the waning moon is gradually setting, but the eastern dawn has not yet appeared.

The palace lanterns flickered on both sides of the avenue, and Baojin stood on tiptoe, dodging the frost between the blue bricks.

At this time, there was the faint sound of a rumbling car approaching in front of it, and a luxurious car with gilded necklaces appeared in front of it accompanied by eight people.

It is the Chengen chariot used by the palace to welcome and send off the concubines who are serving the imperial edict!
The brand-new lacquer color shines brightly under the snow light, and the noble scent of ambergris is faintly approaching in the cold wind. Under the light veil in the car, a slim figure can be seen faintly.

Thinking of the rumors of the past few days, Bao Jin couldn't help frowning——

In the past few days, the emperor has frequently recruited Xu Jieyu, and rewarded Xu Jieyu continuously, and there were even rumors that she was about to be promoted to the rank of nine concubines.

The car gradually approached, and Bao Jin dodged to dodge. In the quiet snowy night, the sound of the bead rings on the car could be heard, and the voice of the woman became clearer at dawn——

"Who is outside?"

Bao Jindai raised her eyebrows, and was about to answer, but saw the embroidered curtain move slightly, and a delicate and beautiful jade face poked out from behind the curtain.

"It's you, Miss Yuran..."

Xu Yinghua smiled sweetly. In the snowy light, she could only see the glamorous color, and she felt a kind of coldness out of nowhere, "Young lady is so diligent, I really admire..."

She released her slender fingers, and the embroidered curtain fell lightly, like butterflies dancing and flowers flying, and her soft voice came from behind the fragrance——

"Long live still needs to take a nap, so be careful not to disturb her."

A gentle low smile came from behind the curtain, as if shy and timid, but also as if it was provocative and harsh.

Are you trying to piss me off?
Bao Jin thought in his heart, smiled slightly, and saluted the car driver, his crisp voice was especially loud in the cold night——

"The emperor always wakes up early, today is so abnormal, probably because he couldn't sleep well at night."

Her voice was clear, but she added an accent to the words "sleep restlessly", which obviously meant something.

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone around gasped, each of them was startled by her boldness.

Xu Yinghua laughed lightly, but didn't get angry, just stretched out his hand lazily and yawned, and said with a smile: "So, it's Ben Gong's charm that makes the emperor not sleep well?"

"Your Majesty is really serious. How can I bear such a crime of slander and disrespect?"

Baojin seemed overwhelmed with surprise, and quickly apologized, but there was no trace of panic in his expression.

Xu Yinghua chuckled softly and didn't answer, but said flatly: "Whether you can bear it or not depends on your future fortune."

After finishing speaking, she signaled the palace servants to start driving, and the rumbling sound of the car continued to move forward. Soon, two wheel tracks were left on the snow.

Bao Jin stared at the car driving away, but there was no sharp expression on his brows, as if the confrontation just now had never happened at all.

After a while, she didn't lift her foot until she was sure that there was no one around, and took out a small ball of paper from under the embroidered shoe.

This was thrown by Xu Jieyu when she rolled up the embroidered curtain just now, and even though the two of them were quite unfriendly immediately, it dazzled the people around and didn't notice it at all.

The handwriting on the paper is elegant, but there is a hidden character, only one line of four characters - the clothes are not as good as the newcomers.

Bao Jin chewed on the words, a smile appeared on his lips.

"Xu Yinghua, you are indeed worthy of being a master of secret fighting in the boudoir!"

She praised in a low voice, and then hurriedly headed towards Qianqing Palace without further delay.

****
Sure enough, the emperor didn't get up, he was only wearing his jacket, lying on the pillow thinking about something quietly, his eyes were silent.

"Your Majesty, it's time to get up."

Zhang Xun reminded cautiously.

The emperor turned a deaf ear and did not move at all.

Zhang Xun was in a dilemma when he saw the figure in front of the palace gate moving slightly and the palace skirt whirling, he couldn't help but feel happy.

He quietly came out of the hall, and smiled at Bao Jin whose cheeks were flushed from the cold snow, "Young lady is here, it's really not easy to have a snowstorm this night!"
