The queen staggered, stepped forward to pick up the bottle of medicine, looked at it with a dazed look, and was extremely hurt. She held the bottle in her arms, sobbing slowly, her body trembling, which made people feel a little sympathetic.
Jin Xin has nothing to say. The matter has reached this point. There is no right or wrong, only different positions.
She is miserable now only because she is too affectionate and hurts herself.
"Jiang Jinxin, if the emperor treats me like this today, he will treat you the same way in the future, and you won't get much further than me!" The queen gritted her teeth and stared at Jinxin, with hatred in her eyes.
Of course Jin Xin knew that the emperor's heart was unreliable, so she would be more careful. She was not seeking the emperor's heart.
Therefore, even if something happens in the future, she will definitely not destroy her family like the queen did for a man.
She just wants to protect herself, but she won't be polite to anyone who harms her.
Jin Xin said nothing and stood up to leave, but the queen said coldly, "Wait a minute."
Jin Xin was puzzled to see what else she would say.
"I can see that you don't actually love the emperor, right?" She smiled.
It seemed that after knowing this, she suddenly changed from extremely sad to excited.
Jin Xin remained silent, waiting to see what else she would say.
But the queen didn't say anything, she just smiled, the more she laughed, the crazier she became, almost choking herself. After she recovered, she still laughed, as if she was completely crazy.
"Let's go." Jin Xin sighed and led the people out.
Even outside, you can still hear the queen's laughter and the sound of breaking porcelain.
Jin Xin stood there with mixed emotions.
Being betrayed by her true love is like swallowing a needle to a person who values love. Once her faith collapses, she will naturally lose the idea of living.
That night, something went wrong in Kunning Palace, and the queen was trapped in Kunning Palace and could not come out.
It was the queen who chose to end herself in the most brutal way, and also wanted the world to talk about the emperor's ruthlessness.
The fire was put out early in the morning, and the entire main hall of Kunning Palace was burned and damaged, so it naturally had to be rebuilt.
Early in the morning, the emperor called Jin Xin to go to the imperial study room. The emperor's heart was heavy and he held his forehead with his hands. It seemed that he had not slept well last night.
There is a letter on the table, personally addressed to the emperor.
"I'm here to see you, Your Majesty." Jin Xin stepped forward to say hello.
When the emperor heard the noise, he immediately raised his eyes. His eyes were full of fatigue. Seeing her coming, he waved her forward. Jin Xin had no choice but to step forward, pressed his head and asked, "Is the emperor sad for the queen?"
The emperor sighed, "Why is the queen so confused? I have already told her to leave the palace."
Jin Xin was speechless in her heart, but she could only continue to say gently, "The Queen loves the Emperor deeply, so naturally she won't be able to survive if you let her leave."
The emperor was silent, holding her waist and snuggling into her arms, feeling her warm embrace carefully, "Jin Xin, I am not a good husband, let alone a good person. I will be punished, right?"
Jin Xin was stunned. Was he stimulated by the queen? How could these words come out of his mouth?
He tightened the strength in his hand, "She sent me a letter. She said, I wish that no one will love me for the rest of my life. I wish that I will raise a rebellious son and be at the bedside of a hospital without anyone to watch over me. I hope that I will be unlucky in every possible way and everything will not go as I wish." I shed tears and regret for the rest of my life. I couldn’t find anyone I wanted to love, I couldn’t retain any love, I was sick until I was a hundred years old, and I had no one to love me for the rest of my life.”
He raised his eyes and looked at Jin Xin aggrievedly, and actually cried. This was the first time Jin Xin saw him cry, which was very pitiful.
He was probably really scared, so he couldn't sleep all night.
The Queen's curse really cast a shadow on the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is unwilling to give up the curse on her deathbed. You don't have to take it to heart. I love you. You have Hong'er, Huan'er, and the third prince. You will have many children in the future. How can you have no one to watch over you? ."
The emperor seemed to be comforted, and he finally let her go.
"You have to promise me that you will stay by my side and don't hurt my heart. I am afraid of being alone. For so many years, I have been looking for the feeling of being loved by my mother and concubine. I thought that if I got this position, I would get what I want. Everything, but when I really sit in this position, I am still lonely, no one understands me, and they are not sincere to me."
There are so many people, all because he is in this position and has to be diligent and courteous.
But that's not what I want.
He watched Jin Xin reach this stage. There was no one behind her but him. Therefore, only he could give Jin Xin a sense of security. This was why he felt that Jin Xin could resonate with him.
They are all lonely people.
No matter whether she really loves him or not, as long as she is willing to accompany him, that is enough.
"Your Majesty, will you make me sad?" Jin Xin asked.
He showed no mercy to so many people, even his favorite concubine, he dealt with them without mercy. Jin Xin was not confident and had no expectations, but she also wanted a promise.
If there is anything in the future, this promise may save me.
"As long as you don't touch my bottom line, I won't hurt you." He said.
This promise is very general, and his bottom line is not up to him.
She almost sympathized with him just now.
"I, my concubine, have the emperor as my main priority, and I will never dare to make any mistakes." Jin Xin said with a hint of anger.
The emperor chuckled upon hearing this and raised his eyebrows, "I know."
"After all, the queen is the daughter of a guilty minister. Her funeral should be kept simple."
Jin Xin responded with a yes.
According to the emperor's wishes, everything is kept simple, that is, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will arrange the ceremony according to the ceremony of a concubine, and the funeral will be suspended for three days before being sent to the imperial mausoleum.
Things were done quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was autumn again.
In September, good news came back from the war in the feudal country.
The war lasted for several months. Under Gu Zhao's fierce attack, all the vassal states were defeated. They raised their flags and surrendered. The army commander of the Celestial Dynasty advanced in and captured the vassal prince alive. The old monarch was beheaded by the surrendered ministers and surrendered. The entire vassal royal family Many of those who were captured and unwilling to be captured committed suicide, but there were still many who were willing to surrender to the Celestial Empire.
This battle made Gu Zhao's name as God of War famous in the small border countries, completely shocking those small countries.
Gu Zhao also rescued Princess Baoning and the Seventh Princess safely.
The Emperor Long Yan was delighted and issued successive edicts of commendations. He was waiting for Gu Zhao to return to Beijing and be officially awarded the first-class title of General Protecting the Country.
With such an achievement, who can say anything?
Returning to Beijing from the vassal state and following the army back will take at least a month.
Jin Xin was naturally happy as well. She didn't expect that Gu Zhao was so powerful and became a first-class minister at such a young age. If the emperor granted him military power, then Gu Zhao's status would not be comparable to that of ordinary first-class ministers.
"Empress, the concubine is here." Caixia came in and announced.
Jin Xin was holding Huan'er, watching Hong'er play, and listening to Lianrong talking about Gu Zhao's great deeds, when something came to her displeasure.
Yibi was Queen Lin's cousin. She took people to Uncle Guo's study to search for letters and defense plans from people who collaborated with the enemy country.
She is the daughter of Lin Xuezhi's aunt. She said her family was in ruins and she defected to the Duke's Mansion. However, she led people to raid the Duke's Mansion, but she had raised a white-eyed wolf.
The emperor rewarded her for her merits and asked her what she wanted. She said she wanted to be his concubine.
The emperor granted her the title of concubine.
