Chapter 252 Concubine Lan is loyal to the monarch
Zhang Bangli left, just like Chong Xuan, and he was unable to stay in the Ming Palace for a long time.
It was still like when Chong Xuan left, Lu Xunyi sat alone in the living room again and did not get up for a long time.
But compared to before, his expression was obviously heavier.
Sitting in the living room, as long as he heard a little abnormal noise outside the door, he would see his frowning brow jumping slightly.
Compared to the previous few days, today's time seems to be passing particularly slowly.
But no matter how difficult it is, the sky finally gradually darkens.
Lu Xunyi stood up, walked to the door of the living room, and looked at the direction of the mansion.
There was still as peaceful as usual, without any abnormalities.
Lu Xunyi closed his eyes slightly, and his frowning peak finally slowly relaxed, and a breath of turbid air was slowly emitted.
The most dangerous day finally passed.
Opening his eyes again, his eyes were withdrawn from the direction of the mansion, and he looked at the entire Ming Prince's Mansion.
It is the New Year's Day. Although the Ming King has not returned yet, the palace obviously still attaches importance to it and has given many years of gifts.
Although there are not many people in the mansion, I still have some arrangements for the New Year. As I see, I have seen some of the New Year seasons.
fine!
It seems that my head still has a chance to celebrate the New Year!
After Zhang Bangli left, although Lu Xunyi knew that Zhang Bangli's words were not just a threat, Lu Xunyi's life might be pierced by thousands of arrows in a while.
But he did not escape, nor did he make any preparations for his life to resist at any time.
It’s not that he is not afraid of death, but that he is in the capital, at the foot of the emperor, Lu Xunyi, and the few people in the Ming Palace, how can he resist the dynasty?
If the State Dynasty really made up its mind to give his life to Shangqingshan as an explanation, or if it wanted to take down his torture and force the King of Ming to contact him.
Then whether he escapes or not, whether he is prepared or not, has no meaning. Facing a determined state, any resistance will only be in vain!
Fortunately, he won the bet and the country was undecided.
……………………
...
Emperor Dingwu suffered from headaches again.
After several days of fatigue, coupled with the news that Zhang Bangli came back at noon, he could not finish his lunch, so he was sent to Concubine Lan with a pale face.
Concubine Lan, a woman who has won the favor for several consecutive years, finally saw the holy face again in several days of anxiety.
One afternoon, after all his best to serve him carefully, Emperor Dingwu finally calmed down and fell asleep slowly.
Perhaps it was because he had worked hard these days and was too tired. He had not woken up since he fell asleep in the afternoon until it was already night.
Not far from the bed, an eunuch whispered to report: "Empress, Lord Zhang is still waiting..."
On the side of the couch, Concubine Lan has exquisite makeup!
Although she was no longer in her 28 years, she was extremely noble under the light at this time. She got up from the bed and walked slowly to the door. She looked at the eunuch with a light face and said lightly: "Your Majesty is tired, tell Lord Zhang that you will discuss it when you wake up!"
"Empress..." The eunuch looked bitter and raised his eyes slightly, as if he had something to say.
Under the light, Concubine Lan raised her eyes and glanced at the eunuch beside her, and her mouth slightly raised: "What? Are you afraid that Mr. Zhang will eat you?"
"Empress!" The eunuch quickly knelt down and apologized: "Mr. Zhang said last time he came. If the young man dared to delay the big thing, he would take the young man's head..."
"Go and tell him, this is what I said!" Lan Fei raised her eyes, but her voice was still soft.
"Empress, Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang..." The eunuch still refused to retreat, obviously in a dilemma, and still kneeled down and couldn't get up.
"Why, I scared you so much, may he dare to take my life?" Concubine Lan seemed a little unhappy.
The eunuch knelt down and lowered his head and replied, "Empress, Your Majesty once told me..."
Concubine Lan was silent for a moment, but she seemed helpless: "Yes, I was scolded by His Majesty, and I really didn't dare to offend Lord Zhang again."
Speaking of this, Concubine Lan turned around and returned to the edge of the couch. She looked at Emperor Dingwu who was sleeping for a moment, then turned back to the door and whispered: "Your Majesty is furious today, and has committed cerebral disease, but he has suffered a serious crime. I heard that he was angry when he was discussing matters with that Lord Zhang. At this time, he came to look for Your Majesty, and it would be inappropriate for Your Majesty to relieve his body just now. I am incompetent and cannot suffer on your Majesty's behalf, but I cannot tolerate others to disturb Your Majesty at this time. Go, as my words say, when Your Majesty wakes up, I will report it for him!"
"Empress, this..." The eunuch stood up with a bitter face when he heard this, but he still wanted to persuade him again.
"No need to say anything more. Your Majesty has been working hard for the state affairs for several days, and has been working hard every day. Although I know that Lord Zhang's arrival must be a major national event, for me, there is nothing more important than His Majesty's health. After His Majesty wakes up, I will go to apologize to Lord Zhang again, which is really delaying the state affairs. Then I ask Your Majesty to chop off my head. I will admit it willingly. As long as you can let Your Majesty rest quietly for a while..."
"Empress..." The eunuch was anxious and his voice was slightly higher.
"Forget it, there is no need to say more. Your Majesty is very kind to our emperor. We don't care about anything else. Just serve Your Majesty well. Those major national affairs are not important to us. Only Your Majesty's health is the most important! You have been by my side for many years, so why don't you remember your duty? Go, don't disturb me anymore, otherwise you don't blame me for the heavy responsibility!"
This was so severe that the eunuch who had just gotten up was so scared that the eunuch who had just gotten up fell to the ground again: "Grandmaster, please calm down, little..."
"What's noisy!"
Suddenly, just as the eunuch kept kowtowing, he heard a slightly weak but majestic voice suddenly coming from the couch.
At this moment, the entire space suddenly became quiet. The kowtowed eunuch had a slight trembling, but he did not dare to make any sound.
But Concubine Lan also had a stiff body, but she woke up instantly and turned around and looked at the bed.
But on the bed, Emperor Dingwu had already opened his eyes and was slowly sitting up, looking at them.
Concubine Lan saluted repeatedly: "I am guilty and disturbed Your Majesty's peace!"
Emperor Dingwu held his forehead with one hand, his eyes calmed down on Concubine Lan's face, and then waved his hand slightly and said, "Nothing is wrong!"
After saying that, he looked at the sky again and said softly: "When is it?"
Concubine Lan quickly got up and came to His Majesty, and said with a smile: "It's just time for dinner. Your Majesty is hungry. I have ordered someone to stew..."
Dingwu looked at the sky again, waved his head slightly, and stretched out his hand. Concubine Lan hurriedly supported Emperor Dingwu.
Emperor Dingwu stood up, glanced at him, as if he saw the kneeling eunuch, and asked casually: "What's wrong?"
"Jiang Fu came to ask for instructions for meals, but he didn't want to disturb His Majesty. I was not considerate and did not ask any further. Please forgive me!" Concubine Lan glanced at the eunuch on the kneeling ground and said to Dingwu with a smile.
When Dingwu heard this, he just shook his head and said that it was okay. He was helped by Concubine Lan to sit at the table.
Concubine Lan turned around and said to the eunuch: "I can't go down and pass on the meal for Your Majesty!"
Seeing the eunuch leaving tremblingly, Dingwu glanced at his back with a glance, and then looked at Concubine Lan, who was arranged to be busy and graceful, without saying a word.
When dinner comes, Emperor Dingwu didn't eat much. Concubine Lan asked her about her well-being: "Your Majesty has been overworked these days. I will wait for Your Majesty to take a bath later. Let's sleep early tonight!"
Dingwu nodded, but asked casually: "There are important things outside to ask me for instructions!"
When Concubine Lan heard this, her face turned pale slightly. She quickly stood up from the seat and knelt towards Emperor Dingwu: "I am guilty!"
"Is this my beloved concubine..." Emperor Dingwu stood up and personally reached out to help her up.
Concubine Lan was already in tears and apologized: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang has been here before. I see Your Majesty is sleeping peacefully, so I don't want to disturb you..."
"Nothing!" Dingwu's face turned right and he immediately shouted.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!" He heard a sound of ordinary people, but it came from the door. It turned out that it was the eunuch Jiang Fu, who knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, you are all servants who miss their duties. Please forgive me..."
Dingwu looked up and glanced at the eunuch. A sharp light flashed in his eyes and said, "Drag out!
It's not loud, but it's like thunder.
The eunuch trembled on the spot and then collapsed.
There was an armed inner guard outside the door, and the two of them dragged the eunuch away with one hand and then dragged it away.
In the entire inner hall, the servants and maids immediately knelt all over, and there was no sound after another.
The power of the emperor will lead to life and death!
Dingwu sat there, his figure had not moved, and his eyes looked at the Lan Concubine who was also kneeling on the ground, with a obviously trembling body.
After a while, he spoke, and this time his voice was much softer: "Go and invite Lord Zhang over!"
"Yes!" replied loudly outside the door.
The inside was still quiet, and the people in the hall did not dare to make a sound. When they walked away outside the door, Emperor Dingwu then said again: "Get up!"
Concubine Lan slowly raised her head, her face pale and her eyes were timid: "Your Majesty..."
Dingwu looked at her, his eyes flashed softly. He stood up for the second time and helped her up in person. After sitting down, his voice was still a little stern: "My beloved concubine, I have never dared to slack off for a day since I ascended the throne. The court officials have important matters. How can I sleep at all? I must pay attention to the importance of the matter in the future, and don't act like a person again!"
Concubine Lan immediately burst into tears and wanted to worship herself. She was stopped by Emperor Dingwu, but said, "I deserve to die, but I don't know the general matter. I have misled Your Majesty's wisdom. I ask for punishment!"
A smile rose from Dingwu's mouth, he shook his head slightly, and waved his hand to the surroundings: "Let them all go down!"
Concubine Lan responded repeatedly and personally served tea to make tea for His Majesty.
After a while, Zhang Bangli entered.
After finishing the ceremony, Concubine Lan took the initiative to apologize to Zhang Bangli and apologize: "Mr. Zhang, I have been negligent in this palace. Please don't blame me!"
"Empress, don't do this, I'm afraid I'll take it!" Zhang Bangli hurriedly bowed to the ground.
Emperor Dingwu glanced at Zhang Banglizhi's embarrassing appearance and said calmly: "Then Jiang Fu was too arrogant and did not know the rules. Concubine Lan should discipline her in the future. I hope that there will be no such ignorant servants in your palace. Lord Zhang is an important official of the country. How can he be neglected by his subordinates? Don't have another next time?"
