Chapter 406: Excellent swordsmanship?
Kneel on the ground and kowtow
"Empress Dowager, Madam Wu, in fact, it was I who bribed the eunuch guarding the gate of Taiwu Palace. On that day, the maid beside the Queen went to invite the Queen, and the eunuch immediately went to Ning'an Palace and reported the matter to me. Only then did I find the opportunity. After washing up, I went to the Plum Garden in advance to wait for the Emperor."
Qin Shushu spoke cautiously.
"Please forgive me, Queen Mother. I have no choice. Since I lost my child, I have been out of favor. In this harem, I would rather die than be out of favor. I have no choice but to bribe that young eunuch to do things for me."
The Queen Mother and Nanny Wu looked at each other, obviously believing Qin Shushu's words.
Nanny Wu smiled and said, "Shu Wanrong, I am just asking a question. Don't be nervous. You are the Empress Dowager's person. The Empress Dowager will naturally be happy that you can be so thoughtful. As long as you are loyal to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager protects you, this matter will never be spread out."
Qin Shushu knew that Nanny Wu was warning her.
If one day I betray the Queen Mother, this will be her handle.
Aunt Wu is the sheep in wolf's clothing
Qin Shushu immediately showed an expression of gratitude.
"Thank you very much for your protection, Queen Mother. I am willing to serve you like a slave for the rest of my life and will never dare to have the slightest intention of disobeying you, otherwise I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
This is the most poisonous oath in the world.
The Queen Mother picked up the Buddhist beads she had put down
"Well, look how scared you made Shu Wanrong. Shu Wanrong, I have seen your filial piety towards me. Get up. You have done a great job in this matter. With such a thoughtful mind, it is not long before you are favored again. I will also support you. You should prepare well in the next few days. There will be many banquets during the New Year holidays. They are all good opportunities to show your face in front of the emperor. You must cherish them."
When the New Year came, Xie Yu also became busy and had no time to go to Zhonghe Palace.
However, this reward was delivered to Zhonghe Palace the next day, making people jealous.
After Chen Mi took over the affairs of the palace, he saw the endless glory.
In fact, we have to prepare for the New Year every day and have no rest.
Here, Lin Junxue was indeed living a leisurely and happy life, feeling extremely happy.
At night, with the bamboo stream as my companion every night, it is so refreshing.
in a few days
Sun Hua's letter of apology arrived in Kyoto. In the letter, she stated that she did not know about Sun Qing's assassination, and that it was all hers alone and had nothing to do with the Sun family.
To show his loyalty, Sun Hua voluntarily handed over his military power. Xie Yu immediately issued an imperial decree, putting the blame on Sun Qing alone and executing him directly.
The Sun family was spared the death penalty, but they failed to educate their daughter properly, so they were stripped of their military power and demoted to civilians.
Although Concubine Chen was a member of the Sun family, she had done nothing wrong over the years and was exempted from the crime of being implicated, and her position was retained.
Xie Yu issued another decree, ordering Bai Feng to take over the Southwest Army immediately.
ten days later
The matter of the Sun family has been completely settled. Except for Concubine Chen, the Sun family has survived, but it has become completely desolate.
On the day Sun Qing was executed, Concubine Chen sat alone on the couch and did not sleep the whole night.
After a few more days, the Concubine Chen's health had recovered a little and she was able to walk around again.
This time, when Concubine Chen reappeared in front of everyone, she no longer had any edge.
Everyone knew that it was a great blessing for Concubine Chen not to be implicated and to be able to keep her position.
The Concubine Chen changed from her former domineering attitude and became much quieter.
Even though she was ridiculed openly or covertly, Concubine Chen pretended not to hear it and did not react at all.
Now, she holds the position of a concubine, but without the strong support of her maternal family, she is nothing more than a paper tiger in the eyes of everyone.
In the past, the Empress had the Sun family, so naturally no one dared to provoke her.
Now that the Sun family has fallen, no one is afraid of her, the Concubine Chen, anymore.
Zhonghe Palace
evening
Lin Junxue was standing alone in the yard, wearing a cloak.
Except for Danzhen and the other two who were far away, all the other servants were sent away.
There are guards at the door.
The guards guarding the gate were all secret guards sent in by the Lin family and promoted by Lin Jun.
It snowed tonight and snowflakes were falling from the sky.
Lin Junxue stretched out her hand, and the pure white snowflakes melted little by little in her hand, feeling extremely cool.
"Danzhen, bring me the sword"
Danzhen stepped forward and offered the sword with both hands, and Lin Junxue picked up the sword.
Except for Danzhen and the other two, no one knew that she had already started practicing swordsmanship in the palace.
Of course, she started too late, so she could no longer become an expert.
But it is more than enough to kill a person with average kung fu skills.
At night, if she has time, Lin Junxue will always practice.
People can only rely on themselves, and their lives can only be firmly grasped in their own hands.
If one day she encounters any danger and waits for someone to rescue her, that is not her character.
She suffered a lot practicing swordsmanship in the palace for half a year. She was injured every day and needed to apply scar-removing ointment.
But fortunately, it was all worth it. Now she can protect herself or kill people.
Lin Junxue holding a sword
This sword was given to her by Zhuxi some time ago. It was made of thousand-year-old fine iron.
It is sharp but not heavy, and is tailor-made for women.
Next second
Lin Junxue danced with the sword in her hand, spinning faster and faster, rolling up the snow on the ground.
In the flying snow, Lin Junxue's sword was indeed getting faster and faster. Her figure was graceful, her eyes were sharp, and her red figure was like a butterfly spinning and jumping lightly. Every movement was precise and fierce, and every sword move was a killing move.
Then, he turned his wrist slightly, and the sword in his hand stabbed straight at the dead tree like lightning.
The sword sank into the dead tree.
Lin Junxue put away her sword
Danzhen stepped forward, took the sword from Lin Junxue's hand, and couldn't help but admire it.
"My Lady, you only started learning swordsmanship two years ago, and now you have achieved such success. Such talent is really rare. If you had learned martial arts earlier, you would probably be a top master now."
Lin Junxue nodded
"Perhaps I do have some talent, which is not worth mentioning. I learned some sword skills for the critical moment, so that I can have a better chance of winning. Well, I am tired and need to rest. You don't have to keep watch tonight, and you should go to bed early too."
Qiaoxin and Guyu also came up
Guyu said, "My lady, if you want to have some breakfast tomorrow, I will ask the kitchen to prepare it later."
Lin Junxue thought for a moment and said, "Then let's have Qingtuan. I haven't eaten it for a while."
Qiao Xin said, "Your Majesty, in a few days, before the New Year, Huipin's due date will arrive."
Lin Junxue nodded
Counting the days, Yuyan's belly is already one month old, and she should be giving birth in the next few days.
"Tomorrow, you go to the Imperial Hospital and tell Wu Renlang that if Huipin goes into labor, he must be extremely careful. I must act to the end and cannot show up on that day. Also tell Xiao Cheng that the wet nurse sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs must be carefully selected and there must not be any mistakes. The birth supplies for that day must also be carefully checked by the Ministry of Internal Affairs before they can be sent to Jinghe Palace for Huipin to use. There must not be any carelessness."
Qiao Xin leaned over
"Don't worry, Madam. I will go there tomorrow. Eunuch Xiao is in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He will be watching over it personally, so there won't be any mistakes."
