It took a full two hours to wait.

Nvshi Kong almost lost consciousness in her legs.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Cao Nuo's report came from outside, saying that the imperial concubine was coming.

Luo Qinghan then stopped writing and motioned for someone to come in.

Xiao Xixi carried her skirt over the threshold and happily walked into the imperial study.

She glanced at Nvshi Kong standing beside her, paused, and asked tentatively.

"Did I come at the wrong time?"

Luo Qinghan said softly: "It's okay, since you are here, come with me to Changle Palace."

Xiao Xixi asked curiously, "Are you going to see the Empress Dowager?"

"Um."

Luo Qinghan stood up, took her hand and walked out.

Nvshi Kong hurriedly followed along with her sore and numb legs.

When Xiao Xixi came, she was in the special carriage of the imperial concubine. Now that she is going to Changle Palace, she sits directly in the emperor's special carriage.

The two were in the same car, and the people around them had become accustomed to it.

Only Confucius was secretly shocked.

She had long known that the imperial concubine was favored, but she did not expect to be favored to this extent.

Dasheng Dynasty also had many favorite concubines, but no favorite concubine could freely enter and leave the imperial study like a noble concubine, and could ride the dragon chariot with the emperor.

Judging from the reactions of the people around, it is obviously not the first time that this kind of thing has happened.

This treatment is not necessarily a concubine, not even a queen.

The emperor's dragon chariot stopped at the gate of Changle Palace.

Luo Qinghan helped Xixi get out of the car.

The two walked into the Changle Palace hand in hand.

Because the Empress Dowager was just stimulated, she was still a little tired, and her complexion was not very good.

She looked at the pair of beautiful people who walked in, and the already bad expression became more and more ugly.

"Aijia just wants to talk to the emperor, why did you bring the imperial concubine?"

Luo Qinghan said in a low voice: "Just as the noble concubine came to me, I brought her along by the way."

Xiao Xixi blessed the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager didn't even want to look at the imperial concubine, and said coldly, "You go down first, it's none of your business here."

Xiao Xixi first glanced at the emperor, and when she saw him nodding slightly, she obediently backed out.

The Empress Dowager was originally leaning on the soft couch, but now she sits up a little bit.

Lu Xinyao stood beside her and lowered her head the whole time, not daring to look at the emperor.

Apparently it was the last experience that made her fear the emperor.

The Empress Dowager originally wanted Lu Xinyao to pour tea for the emperor, but seeing her cowardly and frightened appearance, she swallowed her words and turned to ask about something else.

"Aijia heard that someone was impeaching Duke Hongguo this morning?"

Luo Qinghan had long guessed that she was going to ask about this, and she did not hide it, and told the truth about it.

Duke Hongguo was Lu Xinyao's grandfather. Even though Lu Xinyao was timid, he couldn't help raising his head and looked at the emperor with a pleading look.

She wanted to intercede with the emperor.

But when she touched the cold look on the emperor's face, her throat immediately seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't say a word.

The Empress Dowager scolded in a deep voice.

"What a bunch of nonsense!

Hongguo Gong, as a national duke, what do you want?

Why collude with a civilian killer organization?

This matter must be framed by others, and you must return the innocence to Duke Hongguo, Emperor! "

Luo Qinghan: "The human and material evidence is conclusive. This case cannot be overturned by the grandmother of the emperor with just one sentence."

The Empress Dowager: "What do you mean by this? Do you also think that Duke Hongguo will really collude with the Blood Rain Tower?!"

Luo Qinghan: "I only believe in evidence."

The Empress Dowager looked at him fixedly and said word by word.

"No matter what the evidence is, Ai's family only knows that Duke Hongguo must be framed!"

Luo Qinghan: "The imperial grandmother is embarrassing her grandson."

The Empress Dowager was very dissatisfied: "You are the emperor, as long as you say a word, you can overturn the case for Duke Hongguo. What's so embarrassing about this?"

Luo Qinghan: "Because I am the emperor, I have to be fair and just, or wouldn't I be a stupefied ruler?"

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes.

When she opened it again, she tried to slow down.

"Ai's family doesn't want to force you to be a fool, Ai's family has no choice.

Hongguo Gong is the only younger brother of the Ai family.

If he was sentenced to death, how could Aijia face his parents under Jiuquan?

Just treat it as selling Aijia's face and let go of Hongguo Gong, okay? "

As the Empress Dowager, it was already very disheartening for her to use such a low-key tone to beg a junior.

It's all for her incompetent brother.

Luo Qinghan glanced at Lu Xinyao and Kong Nushi next to him.

The Empress Dowager understood, waved her hand, and signaled everyone else to retreat.

Lu Xinyao withdrew with the others with full of unease.

As soon as they went out, they saw the imperial concubine sitting under the porch drinking tea and snacks.

The Confucius woman saw the ceremony before in history.

Lu Xinyao hesitated for a while, and finally followed her past and blessed her body.

Xiao Xixi's eyes fell on Lu Xinyao and asked curiously.

"Are you Lu Xinyao?"

Lu Xinyao didn't expect that the imperial concubine would ask her by name, and she panicked immediately.

She subconsciously glanced at Nv Shi Kong.

Confucius Nv Shi said warmly: "Don't be afraid, the noble concubine is a very kind person, you can just tell the truth."

Lu Xinyao calmed down and said cautiously.

"The servant girl is Lu Xinyao."

Xiao Xixi: "Would you like to come over for a cup of tea?"

Lu Xinyao hurriedly said, "Thank you, no need."

Xiao Xixi didn't force it either: "Then you can do whatever you want."

Lu Xinyao was blessed again, so she followed Kong Nushi in the other direction.

Nvshi Kong pointed out, "You don't have to be so afraid of her."

Lu Xinyao pursed her lower lip: "I'm not afraid, I'm just nervous and don't know how to deal with it."

Nvshi Kong sighed.

The previous Lu Xuanshi was too timid, and this Lu Xinyao was too timid.

In this harem, it is easy to cause trouble if you are too daring, and you cannot hold people down if you are too timid.

It's better to be bold when it's time to be bold, and to be restrained when it's time to be restrained.

There are not many people in the harem who can do this, and Concubine Jing is one of them.

It's a pity that she is not favored, and no amount of calculations will be in vain in the end.

Therefore, in order to gain a firm foothold in this harem, the most important thing is the emperor's favor.

As long as there is love, you can have everything.

Thinking of this, Kong Nvshi couldn't help but think of the picture of the emperor doting on his concubine.

In this harem, when it comes to favorability, if the imperial concubine ranks second, no one dares to rank first.

The atmosphere in the house was very tense at this time.

Luo Qinghan still had a calm expression on his face, but the words he said carried a strong pressure.

"The witnesses in this case are conclusive and involved a lot, so it is impossible for me to release Duke Hongguo.

Otherwise, I will not be able to explain to the civil and military officials and the people of the world.

but.

I can promise to spare other people in the Hongguo Mansion, as long as the imperial grandmother can agree to one condition. "
