Chapter 377: Being powerless

10days ago Xuanhuan Novels 14
Emperor Xuanhe has reached his twilight years. In recent years, he has felt his physical condition deteriorating and has foreshadowed that his life will not last long.

His greatest wish is to regain the power of the four major families before his death, revitalize the court, reshape the glory of the royal family and the glory of the empire before his death.

In this way, he can give his throne to the new emperor with confidence, smile and meet the previous emperors of all dynasties with no shame

Of course, this was just Emperor Xuan He's wishful thinking. In fact, he knew in his heart that it was undoubtedly a dream to take back the power of the four major families.

Now, even the Royal Guards of the last Amulet City are unlikely to be saved and will fall into the hands of the four major families. At that time, the Royal will become a puppet in the true sense and become a decoration of the empire.

This is something Emperor Xuanhe didn't want to see if he died. In any case, the city guards could not be allowed to fall into the hands of the four major families, especially the Wu family.

The night is gloomy and everything is silent

In the Changshou Palace, it was already the third day of the day. Emperor Xuanhe had not yet entered the bed. The eunuch eunuch Guo had already urged him three times, but Emperor Xuanhe couldn't fall asleep. He paced back and forth in the room, worried and sighed.

At this time, Eunuch Guo ran into the bedroom again and bowed and said: Your Majesty! The Empress of the West Palace is here!

The Empress of the West Palace is Concubine Lu. Emperor Xuan He was upset. He was stunned when he heard this. He looked out the window and said in confusion: It’s so late, what are she doing?

Before he finished speaking, a delicate voice sounded outside the door: I know that Your Majesty is not sleeping, so I specially stewed ginseng and leopard fetal soup to replenish Your Majesty’s body!

The beautiful oriole spoke, crisp and pleasant. As he spoke, a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes walked in. Before the person arrived, a gust of fragrant wind had already arrived, and it was so intoxicating that she was intoxicated.

This beautiful woman has a silky hair like a waterfall, she swept her eyebrows lightly, and a little cinnabar between her eyebrows, feeling majestic. She is wearing a silver-white double-breasted sleeves and a silk-skirted dress. Her elegant and elegant goose yellow sets off her slender figure and is sexy and enchanting, which makes her life more distorted.

It's no one else, it's Concubine Lu

In the palace, there are only four people who dare to enter the Xuanhe Palace without being summoned. One is the Empress Dowager, the second is the Empress Dowager, the third is Concubine Cao, and the fourth is Concubine Lu.

In the harem, the Cao family was almost the dominant. Only Concubine Lu barely occupied the position of the West Palace, so that the entire harem would not be controlled by the Cao family women.

When Emperor Xuanhe was still in his harem, the women of Cao and Lu families were jealous and intrigue. Whether in terms of status or number of people, Lu Guifei was not a match for the women of the Cao family. She was walking on thin ice in the harem, and was terrified every step of the way.

In the past, as long as the concubine who was slightly favored by Emperor Xuanhe or who was promoted to power would either be sentenced to death by the Empress Dowager or disappeared inexplicably. Concubine Lu was able to survive until now under the attack of three women in the Cao family. It can be said that it was a miracle in the harem.

Of course, Concubine Lu was able to survive in the harem until now, which was inseparable from the power of the Lu family. It was because the Cao family was afraid of the Lu family and did not dare to kill him.

Furthermore, Concubine Lu is also a Tianwu warrior, and his master is the hidden elder of the Jiuxiao Palace. This makes the Cao family worry a lot. They are not afraid of offending the Lu family, but they are afraid of offending the Jiuxiao Palace.

This is also the main reason why Concubine Lu can survive

Seeing Concubine Lu, Emperor Xuan frowned and said: Beloved concubine! I am very upset and don’t want to eat anything!

Your Majesty! No matter how upset you are, you should take care of the dragon body!

Concubine Lu smiled and turned around and ordered the maid to place the tray sand pot on the imperial desk, and then asked the maid to retreat.

Seeing this, Eunuch Guo also tactfully retreated, leaving only Emperor Xuanhe and Concubine Lu in the bedroom.

Concubine Lu and Emperor Xuanhe looked at each other for a while, and after a long silence, Concubine Lu sighed quietly and frowned and said: Your Majesty, are you worried about the candidate for the Nine Gate Admiral?

Emperor Xuan He said with a huh, and said calmly: You four major families are all fighting for my city guards, forcing me to the dead, and they all want me to die. You said, how can I not be distressed?

Concubine Lu's expression changed and she said sadly: Your Majesty! I have persuaded my cousin, but he didn't listen to the advice. I have no choice but to persuade my cousin tomorrow morning!

No need!

Emperor Xuanhe snorted coldly, sat down after the imperial case, and said sternly: The four major families will not give up fighting for the city guards, but I will not let you get what you want! If you want my city guards, unless I die!

Concubine Lu frowned and said unhappily: Your Majesty, can you not trust me? Although I am the daughter of the Lu family, I have entered the palace as a concubine. I am a royal family member and a royal ghost in my life. I am definitely selfless!

Emperor Xuanhe snorted and his tone turned slightly: My beloved concubine, it’s not that I don’t believe you, but that you have seen the current situation. The four major families are pressing forward step by step, and even my last city guards are going to snatch it. I have no choice but to retreat! If you retreat, the empire will be destroyed by my hands!

Concubine Lu was stunned: Your Majesty! It’s not that serious, right? I believe that my cousin is loyal to Your Majesty and has no intention of rebellion!

I know the loyalty of Grand Tutor Lu!

Emperor Xuanhe said in a deep voice: Although I am old and confused, my heart is not confused. Whoever is loyal or unfaithful, my heart is like a mirror! It is a pity that martial arts are invincible and martial arts are superb and have the power of military power. I can do nothing to him. This is also my troubles in raising a tiger, and I regret it!

Said, sighing

Concubine Lu frowned slightly and said calmly: Your Majesty! The harem is not allowed to participate in politics, and the military and national affairs are important, so the people and the likes of the people dare not speak out!

As he said that, he went up to pick up the sand pot on the imperial desk, poured a jade bowl, and said: Your Majesty! This is made by me, please drink some!

Emperor Xuanhe could not bear to offend Concubine Lu's kindness, so he reached out to take it, but when his finger was about to touch the jade bowl, he shrank back and said with a smile: I don't want to drink, my beloved concubine, you can come to see me, I am very happy, sit down and talk to me!

Seeing that Emperor Xuanhe did not drink the soup she made, Concubine Lu was very disappointed, but she was not inconvenient to say anything. This was as expected by her, and she did not expect Emperor Xuanhe to drink it.

Emperor Xuanhe not only did not drink her soup, but he would not drink any of the concubines in the palace.

Emperor Xuanhe has very strict requirements on his diet, which is also to be afraid that people will poison. He will not eat any food that has not been tested.

This is well known in the harem, but in order to please the emperor, the concubines made soup for Emperor Xuanhe to drink. It even spread. As long as Emperor Xuanhe drank the soup made by the concubine, the concubine would be favored.

It was only symbolic to give Emperor Xuanhe. Concubine Lu's purpose here was to not drink wine. When Emperor Xuanhe asked her to talk to him, she was happy. She sat down on the seat next to the imperial desk, her cherry lips opened and said softly: Your Majesty! Why haven't Concubine Cao come to visit Your Majesty these days? In the past, I often had her entangled beside Your Majesty!

Hearing this, Emperor Xuan He was stunned and nodded and said: Yes! Concubine Cao rarely comes to see me recently, and she doesn’t know what she is doing?

A smirk flashed through Concubine Lu's eyes and said: Your Majesty, I don't know what to say or not? I'm afraid that Your Majesty will be unhappy if you say it?

What should I say or not? What should I do with the beloved concubine and I do with such a dislike? Emperor Xuanhe smiled and said: I don’t know what the beloved concubine wants to say to me? You might as well say bluntly, I won’t be angry!

Concubine Lu pondered for a while, frowned and said: Your Majesty, I found that Concubine Cao and Prince Concubine Jindao... It seemed... it seemed... and he stopped talking.

What does it seem? Emperor Xuanhe said in a daze: Why don’t your beloved concubine continue?

Concubine Lu frowned and said: They seem abnormal, don’t your Majesty find it strange?

Emperor Xuan He's face changed slightly and he said calmly: Why is it abnormal? What's strange about it?

Your Majesty, do you remember the last time you were at the Colosseum? Lu Guifei said

Emperor Xuanhe nodded and said: Of course I remember, what's wrong?

Concubine Lu pondered: Your Majesty, you didn't pay attention when watching the taming of animals in the Colosseum. But I noticed that Concubine Cao kept throwing eyes at the Golden Sword Prince Consort and flirting with him. Your Majesty, don't you think they are abnormal?

Oh! Emperor Xuanhe's expression changed and he smiled and said: "My dear concubine, you are not seeing it wrong, right?"

I have observed it in detail, but how could I read it wrong!

Concubine Lu said sternly: Not only that, Your Majesty, just yesterday, Concubine Cao left the palace without authorization and ran to Princess Jingguo's Mansion to ask Mrs. Fan for someone. Your Majesty, do you have no doubt at all?

What do you doubt?

Emperor Xuanhe was deeply frowning and said lightly: Does the beloved concubine suspect that there is something unspeakable between them? How is this possible? They are mother-in-law and sn in law. The beloved concubine, you are too suspicious!

Well!

Unexpectedly, Emperor Xuanhe would react like this after hearing his statement, without getting angry or indifferent. This is too abnormal

Concubine Lu couldn't sit still and stood up: Your Majesty! You trust the Empress of the East Palace so much, Concubine Cao... Your Majesty, do you still remember that Wu Tianjiao went to Donghua Palace for the first time when he entered the palace?

Of course I remember!

Emperor Xuanhe did not comment and said with a smile: That was when I left Wu Tianjiao to eat in the palace. I was busy with state affairs and had no time to take care of it, so I asked Concubine Cao to lead Wu Tianjiao to Donghua Palace for food. What? Do you think there is something wrong with your beloved concubine?

Of course it’s wrong!

Concubine Lu was both annoyed and anxious. Unexpectedly, Emperor Xuan and Emperor were so confused. He didn't know when he was cuckolding, as if he was still hiding it for them. He said: Your Majesty, do you know that Concubine Cao and Wu Tianjiao closed the door in the Donghua Palace that day. Concubine Cao asked his palace maids and eunuchs to guard outside. They stayed in the bedroom for a long time. Wu Tianjiao didn't leave until the evening. Your Majesty, don't you find it strange? Can you use meals for so long?

Hearing this, the muscles on Emperor Xuan He's face twitched unnaturally, his pupils contracted, and he said gloomyly: My dear, what do you want to say to me after all? No evidence, don't guess it!

Concubine Lu was stunned and stunned for a moment

Emperor Xuanhe said calmly: Beloved concubine! I know that you and Concubine Cao are incompatible and fight each other, and they all want to seize the other's handle on weekdays, as long as you are not too much, I will turn a blind eye, but today you are too much, and you are actually guessing Concubine Cao... Well! I just pretend that you have never said this, and I don't want to hear similar words again!

I never expected Emperor Xuanhe to be like this. This is completely contrary to her original intention tonight. Why is this?

Concubine Lu was a little confused and at a loss. Seeing that Emperor Xuanhe was angry, she didn't dare to say the rest of her words. She could only sigh and said: Your Majesty really trusts the women of the Cao family. Since Your Majesty doesn't believe it, I will take my leave!

After saying that, he squatted slightly and gave a bow, slowly retreating from the Changshou Palace.

Looking at the graceful figure of Concubine Lu's departure, Emperor Xuanhe's eyes showed sadness and sighed: Beloved Concubine Ah! Of course I believe in you, but... I am also powerless...

Just as he was talking to himself, the eunuch eunuch Guo walked in and bowed in front of the imperial case and said: Your Majesty, it's getting late, it's time to go to bed, and you have to pay an early court tomorrow morning!

Morning court! Emperor Xuanhe snorted, pondered for a moment, and said: Just say that I am ill, I will not be in court tomorrow!

Ah! Eunuch Guo was shocked and said in surprise: Your Majesty, this... Prime Minister Xiao and the others...

No matter them! Emperor Xuanhe sneered: Let them bite the dog! After pondering for a moment, he asked: Eunuch Guo, how long have you been with me?

Eunuch Guo didn't understand his intentions, so he thought for a while and said: I have entered the palace at the age of thirteen and started serving Your Majesty at the age of fifteen. So far... I pinched my fingers and smiled bitterly: It's been thirty-four years!

Thirty-four years!

Emperor Xuanhe couldn't help but sigh and said sadly: It's Ah! When I was the crown prince, you kept following me. Time passed so quickly. Thirty-four years have passed in the blink of an eye. Xiao Guozi, do you think, is it a failure for me to be this emperor?

Eunuch Guo was shocked and opened his mouth, but could not make a sound. Emperor Xuanhe shook his head when he saw this. He knew that it was undoubtedly forced to give Mr. Guo a comment. How could Eunuch Guo dare to say what he said in his heart.

Alas! Emperor Xuanhe sighed and said: Eunuch Guo, tomorrow morning, you go to Princess Jingguo's Mansion and bring the Golden Sword Prince Consort! It has been so many days, so you can't let Mrs. Fan lock him up!

Yes! Eunuch Guo agreed and frowned: Your Majesty, will Mrs. Fan... release others? Is the slave worried... she won't give me face?

Emperor Xuanhe thought about it, since he learned that Mrs. Fan invited Wu Tianjiao to the Fan family, Emperor Xuanhe was also worried. If you want to say that the woman in the capital that Emperor Xuanhe felt most afraid of was Mrs. Fan.

In addition to being afraid of this woman, Emperor Xuanhe felt more guilty and still resentful and cannot let go of her.

Speaking of which, this can be traced back to more than 40 years ago. At that time, Mrs. Fan and Yang Shaojun were still a girl, with a beautiful figure and a beautiful woman in the capital. How many princes and grandsons have attracted to her?

Emperor Xuanhe is naturally one of them

At that time, Emperor Xuanhe was just the crown prince, young and handsome, elegant and elegant. With the identity of the crown prince, he naturally attracted the obsession of countless noble girls. Everyone wanted to become the crown princess and become the future empress of the empire.
