"If you have nothing to do, just retreat first! Let me keep my eyes open for a while. If she comes later, just let the maid at the gate know!"

Concubine Jiang waved her hand to signal her to retreat, but she herself yawned long and looked a little sleepy.

"yes!"

After watching Chunxiang leave, she took out a gleaming golden key from her sleeve. Although the light was dim and dim, she could still clearly see the word "Jiang's" engraved on it.

"No wonder I haven't been able to find the golden lock after searching for so many years. It turned out to be in Xiahou Mansion!"

Concubine Jiang rubbed the golden lock in her hand and fell into deep thought...

"I really wonder what secret was hidden in the golden key in Concubine Jiang's hand at that time?"

Yao Xianxiu's fingertips tapped secretly on the table, and the look on her face could not help but become solemn.

"For Concubine Jiang to be able to sit in her current position, she must have had too many secrets that are difficult to describe, but no one can easily master these secrets! If I knew one or two things, wouldn't it be easy to stand up and make the decision?

A lot?"

Thinking of this, she suddenly became energetic.

"Could it be that Xia Ruyan, who is as cunning as a snake, is appreciated by Concubine Jiang because she has mastered some of her secrets? How could she be able to sit firmly on the throne of the Crown Princess?"

"This is really a difficult problem! What should we do?"

She secretly thought about every weakness around Concubine Jiang that was most likely to be overcome.

"Hey... there is it!"

Suddenly, her eyes lit up: "Chunxiang! Yes! Just Chunxiang!"

She stood up excitedly.

………………………………………………………………

The next day, the night was dark and the Yifeng Hall was deserted.

Recently, after experiencing the troublesome things about wild cats, Concubine Jiang couldn't sleep all night. She sat alone in front of the window in the middle of the night, wearing a cloak and quietly staring at the flickering lights in front of her.

The lamp fell into deep thought.

She couldn't help but think of those sad past events when she was still a little Jieyu...

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It's not good! It's not good! Jiang Jieyu's condition is critical and there may be something unexpected. Please make a decision as soon as possible!"

It was a night of heavy rain, and several running attendants rushed into the palace door anxiously. They knelt down with a bang, cupped their hands and clasped their fists, and reported with anxious expressions.

"If that's the case... then just keep it small..."

A chess piece in front of Emperor Ji suddenly "kicked" and slipped, rolling and jumping directly on the ground and bouncing around several times.

"Yes! I will go and report back now!"

So, despite the torrential rain at night, several attendants got on their horses and disappeared into the pouring dark wind and rain.

"Urgent report! Urgent report!"

A shout outside the door, mixed with the chaotic sounds of the storm, faintly reached Jiang Jieyu's ears.

At that time, she was struggling to her death. Although only a little bit of her dying consciousness was left floating in the sky above the beams, with a face ashen as death, the midwife ran out of the door with a long sigh.

"Oops! It seems she can't do it! Generals, please go back quickly and explain the situation to Your Majesty! How to decide..."

The midwife's face also turned bright and dark, red and white, and she asked timidly with a trembling voice: "General, what do you think we should do about this?"

"Urgent report! Urgent report!"

Suddenly a loud shout interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Tell me quickly! How did the Holy Spirit make the decision?"

A hurried shout penetrated the window paper. Jiang Jieyu's eyes opened and closed and she vaguely saw the figure printed on the paper window. The shadow danced in a trance under the shadow of the lamp like a shadow puppet.

"Reply to the general! The emperor's reply is that... please keep me safe!"

The atmosphere froze for a moment, and the air seemed to be frozen instantly.

"Why…………"

Suddenly the general slammed the sword in his hand to the ground and sighed heavily: "Okay! In that case, everyone else, please retreat quickly! Leave two imperial guards to take care of me, you

Hurry up and prepare for your concubine’s funeral!”

"yes!"

After everyone had dispersed, the general followed the two old ladies into the delivery room, where they were going to collect her body.

"General... Do you want to wait? Wait until the emperor comes to see the empress for the last time!"

"Hey...forget it! Everyone is gone. There are three thousand beauties in the harem. The emperor will be here long ago! It's already past midnight, so let's collect the body of the noble concubine first!"

The two old maids took out a pile of shrouds from the basket and spread them out in front of the table in an upright manner according to etiquette.

Against the scattered lights, the weak candlelight danced more and more. The figure of the old palace maid was illuminated by the weak candlelight into Jiang Guifei's eyes. She looked as weird and strange as two old hags seduced by hell.

uncertain.

"It is said that generals fight fiercely on the battlefield, and their masculinity is extraordinary. It is said that generals are like the Tiangang star in the sky and turn around to come down to earth. That's why the Holy Spirit specially approved the loyal and mighty General Jin to come and collect the body of Concubine Jiang Guifei who died in childbirth.

Got it!"

"That's right! If the Holy One is the monarch of the country, how can he be contaminated by the filthy aura of a woman who is having a difficult childbirth? I heard that the Holy One being close to such a filthy deceased woman may reduce the country's destiny and harm the people!"

"Hey... stop talking! Although Jiang Jieyu has already gone, we are talking about it here. If General Jin hears it later, he will probably be punished!"

"……………………"

Two old maids were wandering around under the dim lights, chatting in low voices while arranging their shrouds.

"There is no way! In a man's world, a woman's life is as cheap as a rag..."

"Hey... I heard that the steward has ordered the old eunuch to prepare the wood stove, right?"

"That's right! The Emperor has ordered that you should be burned as soon as you die!"

"Well! That's fine. You and I have been in the palace for a long time, and we have collected the corpses of many concubines. We all know that the deceased women who died in childbirth often have deep grievances. If we don't deal with it quickly, it will make people uneasy.

Got it!"

"That's right!"

The two old maids were cutting cloth and chatting while preparing the things for use one by one!

"Huh? That's right! Isn't the basin for wiping yourself with water not brought yet? You can go to the steward and let him know!"

An old maid suddenly remembered that before she could put a shroud on the deceased, she must first clean her body.

"This old palace maid is really busy. If she had joined the army in my military camp, I would have pulled her out long ago and punished her severely!"

He smiled wryly and shook his head, then smoothly moved the sword on his waist to the other side.

"The concubines in the harem are really pitiful people! They competed for favor and love, were jealous and fearfully enjoyed the public scenery, but how many of them have realized that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger? Where in the world is there a wife who has difficulty giving birth and a husband?

Things that are clearly right in front of you but turn a deaf ear to? Alas..."

Jin Boli thought of this, but smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"ah!!!!!……………………"

While he was taking a nap against the edge of the table, a sudden scream made him jump up immediately.

"who?!!!"

When he stood up and drew his sword, he looked around but found nothing.

"Wow wow wow wow..."

At this time, a soft cry like a kitten came from the inner compartment.

"Ah... What's going on?!!!"

I was shocked when I heard something strange!

He didn't even have time to lift the curtain, and rushed straight to Jiang Jieyu's delivery room...

After she was stunned for a long time, she timidly asked: "Master...Master...what...what's wrong?"

"Hey...it's nothing to do with you!"

"oh……………"
