In fact, Jin Xin was also testing the emperor's attitude towards the concubine. From the looks of it, she actually didn't care much. She just happened to be good-looking and the emperor saw her right. It didn't matter whether she would have a baby or not.
"Let someone give her something to nourish her qi and blood. When she recovers in the past half month, tell Jingshifang to put up her name." Jin Xin said calmly.
Cui Gu nodded.
At present, all the palaces are doing things according to the Queen's words. Cui Gu is the girl in charge of Cheng'en Palace. Everyone who sees her has to be respectful. Sometimes, the King's Office has to ask about the Queen's intention to put up the sign.
It didn't matter that Concubine Yi was jumping up and down in front of the emperor earlier, she still let the empress suppress her.
At this time, Yibi drank the bowl of soup, and the two of them began to suffer from abdominal pain and bleeding, and almost died. She couldn't figure out why she was poisoned when she had just entered the palace and had not yet begun to be favored.
Concubine De Gui had wanted to win over her before. After these days, she was kind to her and she had expressed goodwill. If she accepted the favor, she would definitely not threaten her. It was probably not Concubine De's doing.
The only person she offended was the concubine.
These days, I have been tormented by Fang Concubine several times, but I can't do anything to her. It must have been the afternoon when I had a disagreement with her at the door, and Fang Concubine wanted to destroy me.
Clutching her body with abdominal pain, Yi Bi lay half dead.
The newly sent palace maid was waiting by the side, and because of drinking too much soup, Wanqin continued to bleed. Although the bleeding stopped, she fell into a coma.
The palace maid brought her warm water and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, Concubine De Gui just sent someone to tell you that the Jingsi Room is making a sign for you. When you are ready, it will be hung up for you. The Emperor will definitely turn against you." brand."
Concubine Yi was overjoyed when she heard this. She stood up excitedly, but her stomach hurt. She fell back in pain, but the joy relieved her a lot of pain. She smiled and let out a long sigh of relief.
After waiting for so long, this day is finally here.
She has many ways to please men. Once the emperor knows that she is good, he will definitely not be able to stop. She will also be favored by the Sixth Palace and become a master.
Looking towards the room opposite where Concubine Fang was chatting and laughing, she snorted coldly, her eyes sharp, she would make Concubine Fang pay the price sooner or later.
Ten days later, General Gu took the lead in arriving in the capital with the two princesses.
Everyone greeted General Gu at the city gate. Jin Xin stood high and watched Gu Zhao riding his horse. The young and handsome general came on horseback. The people cheered to welcome the young general, the God of War.
The confidant generals on both sides accompanied him, but because Gu Zhao was so handsome, the two generals, one with a big beard and the other with dark hair, made Gu Zhao look like a jade-faced general. In contrast, Gu Zhao stood out among all the rough men. Among men, he is extremely outstanding.
No wonder the seventh princess, who was so arrogant, insisted on appointing him as her consort.
"I'm here to see you, Your Majesty. Long live my Emperor. I lived up to my trust and brought the two princesses back safely." Gu Zhao stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, and replied respectfully.
The emperor excitedly pulled Gu Zhao up, patted his armor hard, his face was full of satisfaction, and then bumped Gu Zhao's shoulder with his shoulder regardless of the emperor's manners, and then burst out laughing.
"Gu Zhao, you are my hero. I will reward you as my great general who protects the country and give you a general's residence. It is my honor to have a strong general like you!"
When Gu Zhao heard this, he knelt down again, "It is my mission to defend the country for the emperor."
The emperor laughed happily again, he was really happy.
The vassal state was a hidden danger that he had failed to conquer in the first place. He preferred to be on the battlefield in his life, but he was a prince and had ambitions. Due to many factors, he naturally had to sit in this position.
But Gu Zhao fulfilled this regret for himself, how could he not be happy.
"Congratulations to General Gu for his victory and return to the court. Such achievements will definitely be recorded in the annals of history and be praised for thousands of years." Jin Xin said with a smile.
Gu Zhao endured his excitement and bowed slightly, "I don't dare to take credit. This is the emperor's wise policy. It is also the soldiers who are not afraid of life and death that can expand the territory of the Celestial Empire."
Not to mention, the emperor became even happier after hearing this. He clasped Gu Zhao's shoulders and said, "Everyone has merit and will be rewarded."
Jin Xin looked at Gu Zhao with relief. He was only twenty-five years old and he was the general protecting the country. With the emperor's deliberate training and his own efforts, he was the first person in this dynasty to sit in this position at such a young age.
Just as he was talking, the seventh princess Shi Shiran stepped forward and said, "Jianing, please bow to your royal brother."
The Seventh Princess has now changed her hair into a bun. She no longer looks as domineering as before, and has gained a lot of gentleness.
But you can still see it in your eyes, and it hasn't changed much.
Princess Baoning came forward with a few children to salute, and after chatting for a while, she went to find Prince Tu and his wife.
Princess Baoning's husband died for her country before the war, and she could only take her children back to heaven. Her originally happy home was now gone, so how could she still be in the mood to chat with the emperor.
The emperor felt a little guilty. He stepped forward to help the seventh princess and said, "You have suffered so much. Just come back. Concubine Chen will be waiting for you at the princess residence."
When she heard about Concubine Chen, the seventh princess felt aggrieved. She had suffered all the hardships in her life during her time away from home. How could she not have any resentment towards the emperor's brother?
She looked at Jin Xin imperceptibly. Concubine De Gui was now the number one person in the Sixth Palace. In just a short time, the Queen Mother and the Empress were gone. Concubine De Gui was really unstoppable.
According to this trend, she will be the queen sooner or later.
The group of people all went back to their homes and changed out of their casual clothes. They had to go to the palace for a banquet in the evening.
Jin Xin is now sitting in the queen's original position, which has already demonstrated her status.
The seventh princess drank too much at this time and insisted on sitting next to Gu Zhao. Gu Zhao was a little irritated. He was no longer the guard who allowed the princess to make things difficult for him, so he had her taken away.
The emperor felt helpless when he saw the seventh princess's active dedication.
But after all, I feel guilty, and I can't restrain myself too much.
The seventh princess drank too much, so she was invited to go down.
After the celebration banquet, the emperor also drank a little too much. After Jinxin had someone carry him back to Qianqing Palace, she planned to sober up and walked back.
"Empress." From the dark place on the side, Gu Zhao walked out. Jin's heart jumped in fright, and she covered her heart. When she saw it was him, she was relieved.
"General Gu, why are you here?" Jin Xin glanced around. The two young eunuchs nearby quickly walked to the corner, not daring to look here.
Jin Xin is surrounded by Lian Rong and Cui Gu, both of whom are from her own family.
Gu Zhao deliberately chose this quiet section to wait for her, and took out a square wooden box, "This is for you."
Jin Xin was startled and didn't understand what he meant. Gu Zhao's eyes were deep, forbearing and restrained, and he looked nervous and worried.
He really thought about it for a long time when he came back. He didn't dare to look forward to it, but he wanted to get closer. He wanted to wait and watch from a distance, but after seeing her, the urge came over him again like a tide.
Why didn't he find her earlier? If he had found her earlier, maybe the ending would have been different.
