Chapter 517 Beautiful, Embarrassed
"I heard that Zhao Jing loved this concubine very much when he was alive?" A smile appeared on the corner of Cheng Wang's lips, "Then let her stay and continue to live in Yufu Palace."
The counselor was puzzled: "Does the emperor want to accept her?"
"Can't you?"
"The humble minister is afraid that the woman will be unfavorable to the emperor."
"I can even kill Zhao Jing, and I'm afraid of a pregnant woman?" Cheng Wang waved his hand, "You go and deal with the rest of the concubines, and then move the princess and the others in. After the king of Qin and the crown prince are dealt with, I will take care of them." A canonization ceremony will be held."
The counselor respectfully responded, took people to Ci'an Palace, arrested the concubine and all the concubines, and forced them to leave the palace to cut their hair and become nuns.
The Empress Dowager sat in the bedroom, her mind as calm as water.
Zhou Yizhi was wearing the clothes of a little eunuch and stood by her side.
The concubines outside were crying loudly.
Zhou Yizhi was restless, and couldn't help but said: "Queen Mother, that King Cheng will not send you out, will he?"
"The matter has come to this, what is there to be afraid of Ai's family. If King Cheng has the guts, he can come to harm Ai's family." The queen mother said lightly.
She opened her eyes, bloodshot eyes.
Although she was calm, the death of the emperor's son almost knocked her down.
From a beautiful girl to a queen, and then to a queen mother, she has been favored all her life, and she walks steadily and smoothly. I didn't expect to experience such a change when I was old.
The Queen Mother stood up and went to the door.
Hundreds of concubines were pushed and pushed out of Ci'an Palace.
The glamorous and beautiful women in the past are now unkempt and tearful, and they are not much better than the refugees outside the city.
A low-ranking concubine refused to leave because she was crying, and was slapped unconscious by a Jin Yiwei. She was trampled to death by the crowded and panicked crowd.
Zhou Yizhi felt cold all over, subconsciously clenched the golden knife at her waist, as if it could give her strength.
"Zhi'er, look, this palace is nothing more than that." The queen mother said slowly, "The emperor has passed away, what can you do?"
Zhou Yizhi absolutely refuses to be a nun.
Fortunately, she was already a bit masculine, plus she was tall, so she could hide the truth from King Cheng's people by pretending to be an eunuch.
Looking at the chaotic scene outside, she whispered, "If... if there is a chance, I want to go home."
The Queen Mother did not speak.
The concubines were all taken away.
The noisy Ci'an Palace gradually quieted down.
Zhou Yizhi supported the Queen Mother, and said: "It seems that King Cheng still dare not touch you for the time being. I will help you to rest."
As soon as they turned around, a gust of wind hit.
Zhou Yizhi's head rang out, she drew out her dagger and turned around——
"It's me." Zhao Yuanjing stood tall and straight in front of her.
Zhou Yizhi was overjoyed: "His Royal Highness!"
Zhao Yuanjing nodded, looked at the Queen Mother, and said softly, "Grandmother, grandson is late."
The empress dowager's eyes were slightly red: "Have you seen the last side of your father?"
Zhao Yuanjing said: "I have seen it. The emperor gave the jade seal and the imperial edict to his ministers."
"Then what are you waiting for? Take out the edict and announce your enthronement!" said the Queen Mother.
Zhao Yuanjing said calmly: "Grandmother, don't worry, I'm waiting for the little emperor uncle. He is still more than ten miles away from the capital. I have deployed troops inside and outside the palace overnight, and I can just wait for the little emperor uncle's troops to arrive. Picked King Cheng's defense."
The Empress Dowager sighed: "It's also hard work for you. The emperor is really incompetent, otherwise he wouldn't be able to make King Cheng so rampant. Did you see those concubines just now?"
