Chapter 9 Marriage to the Regent

Zi'an was in such a mess, he couldn't help himself, so he could only bow and say: "Yes, I understand."

The queen raised her eyes, the eyes were not as gentle as before, but a little more sharp, "This time you used King Liang and damaged the reputation of King Liang. This Palace should punish you severely. I miss you just for the mother's sake." It’s a plan, so I’ll take it lightly, come on, prepare a bowl of safflower and serve it to her.”

Zi'an's anger rose sharply in her heart. She was already very weak, and she had her own pulse broken. It was extremely difficult to get pregnant. This bowl of safflower cut off her hope at all.

The main concubine of Prince Regent Murong Jie is a person who can't even lay eggs.

What a vicious woman!

Although Zian didn't care whether she could bear children or not, she only wanted to live, but she was still very angry at the queen's bullying.

But now, she has nothing to do, with her former personality, she will kill the queen without hesitation.

However, now she can't support herself alone, and she still has her mother to take care of, so she is not alone like in modern times.

No matter how hard it is to swallow this breath, I still have to swallow it.

Swallow it together with the bowl of safflower.

The queen's vicious and hateful eyes will appear in front of Zi'an's eyes after a long time, making her feel like a light on her back, making her sleepless and restless.

At this moment, she knew that in this era, in order to live well and live without being bullied, she must strengthen herself and consolidate her strength. This road is very difficult and long, but as long as she can leave the palace alive, she There is a way to reverse everything, even if the price paid is deep and bloody.

The sweet smell of safflower travels down the throat to the stomach.

Severely dizzy, she knelt down and said word by word: "Empress, my daughter-in-law leave!"

The queen's voice came slowly, without any warmth, "You can leave the palace as you entered the palace."

Zi'an gritted his teeth, "Yes!"

She retreated to the gate of the palace, stood on the stone steps in front of the porch, and watched the maid cleaning up the miscellaneous grass in the yard. A sunset flower quietly climbed on the palace wall, blooming the color of peony and peony.

A nanny quietly appeared behind her, and said coldly: "Miss, please obey the Queen's order!"

By the time Zian kneeled three times and knocked nine times out of the palace to the west gate, it was already the hour of Hai at night.

At this time, there were no people walking on the street, and not many people saw her in distress. She supported the wall on the left side, step by step, as if walking on cotton, all her strength was used to maintain her upright posture. back.

At the corner, she saw the curtain of a carriage slightly opened. She only took one look and recognized it as the housekeeper Xia Quan.

A cold smile floated on Zi'an's pale face, he came to inquire about the news, to see if she could get out alive.

The carriage left quickly and disappeared from her sight with a rattling sound. The carriage in the mansion knew that she was going out of the palace alone and was seriously injured, but they were unwilling to give her a ride.

She remembers them all!

Xiang Fuzhong.

"Master Xiang, madam, the eldest miss has left the palace." Xia Quan, the housekeeper of the mansion, said.

Since Zian was summoned into the palace, Prime Minister Xia ordered people to inquire about the news in the palace. If Xia Zian didn't come out alive, he hurried into the palace to plead guilty.

If Xia Zian comes out alive, then he will plan for the follow-up matters.

"The empress is so kind-hearted?" Mrs. Linglong couldn't believe it, and refused to marry in public. What a shame it is? They were really surprised that such a noble queen could endure being slapped so hard.

Prime Minister Xia was also deeply puzzled, "Did you see clearly? She really left the palace?"

"Returning to the words of Master Xiang and Madam, it is absolutely true. The palace did not have a carriage to send her. I heard from the guard at the gate that she entered the palace on three knees and knocked nine times. The slaves saw her leave the palace with their own eyes. His forehead was swollen badly, and his fingers were bleeding, so he seemed to have been tortured."

He would never allow the empress to anger him because of Xia Zi'an, an evil girl. The empress's family was so powerful that he couldn't offend him.

"I heard that the Prince Regent Murong Jie also entered the palace today, I don't know if he also met the eldest lady." Xia Quan said.

Prime Minister Xia was taken aback, "Prince Regent?"

This person is not easy to deal with. He takes good care of King Liang. He can coax the empress and send Xia Zian's body up to appease her anger, but the regent is not so easy to deal with.

Refusing to marry today is a disgrace to the royal family, how could the regent not take revenge?

Moreover, since the emperor fell ill and the regent supervised the country, he has been targeting himself. He has long thought that he is not pleasing to the eye. Will he take this opportunity to attack himself?

Prime Minister Xia felt a crisis in his heart.

"Master, the Prince Regent has a good relationship with King Liang, will he retaliate against our Prime Minister's House? This person is not easy to deal with," Madam Linglong said.

Prime Minister Xia thought for a while, "I only hope that Xia Zi'an's death can appease the anger in his heart, but if he really wants to vent his anger on the truth, the truth will not sit still. By the way, are you really sure that His Highness the Crown Prince really will?" Marry Wan'er?"

Mrs. Linglong said: "Wan'er said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally promised."

The prime minister felt relieved, "That's good, that's good."

Mrs. Linglong glanced at him, and asked tentatively: "Then, if Xia Zian comes back, will he really do what his mother wants? When will we start?"

Prime Minister Xia pondered for a moment, "I have to ask my mother how to handle this."

Mrs. Linglong smiled lightly, "Actually, Mr. Xiang doesn't have to bother mother all the time. Mother is not in good health recently. You can decide these things yourself, right?"

She just didn't like that Mr. Xiang had to ask the old woman about everything. The more he relied on the old woman, the more her status in the mansion would be unshakable. She had had enough of the old woman's trickery.

Prime Minister Xia didn't understand what she meant, he just thought that she really cared about his mother, so he said: "Don't ask her about other things, but this matter has too much to do with it, so it's better to ask her carefully."

After that, he turned and went out.

The old lady was not surprised when she heard that the empress had allowed Zi'an to leave the palace, she smoked her cigarette puff, and said calmly: "I have already expected it, if the empress executes her in the palace, it will appear that she is narrow-minded, the empress will not Those who fall into the trap of talking, these dirty things can only be done by us."

"Then, mother thinks, when is the best time to strike?" Prime Minister Xia asked, as if he was asking about a trivial matter, rather than talking about murdering his own daughter.

"Let's wait for two days. If she dies just after returning to the mansion, outsiders will speculate that the empress has been poisoned, and the poison will only occur when she returns to the mansion. This will damage the face of the empress, and it will not be good for Wan'er in the future. Be in a hurry, just wait." The old lady put the cigarette pouch on the table, and a nun brought tea to rinse her mouth, she took a sip, threw her head up, and spit it into the spittoon.

"My son knows!" Prime Minister Xia said respectfully.

After a pause, he asked worriedly: "Will the Empress forgive her? If we kill her, are we afraid of the Empress..."

The old lady raised her head and gave him a sideways glance, "What's wrong with your brain? If the empress wants to forgive her, why would she let her kneel three times and knock out of the palace? This is clearly a reminder for us."

Prime Minister Xia thought for a while, then smiled evilly, "Yes, it's still mother who is thoughtful."
