The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

During the state banquet, the Xiongnu envoys who came to pay homage tried to assassinate His Majesty. Concubine Jia blocked the hidden arrow for Emperor Ningcheng, but died of poison. Because of her contribution in saving the emperor, Concubine Jia was posthumously named Concubine Jia, and His Majesty ordered her to be buried with the ceremony of the queen, ranking above all the concubines in the concubine mausoleum.

The Yimei Pavilion where Concubine Jia lived during her lifetime was locked and sealed. His Majesty specifically ordered that no one be allowed to enter Yimei Pavilion. From then on, Yimei Pavilion was not open to anyone, and no concubines in the palace were allowed to enter. His Majesty specifically ordered that Yimei Pavilion be kept as it was during Concubine Jia's lifetime, and no one was allowed to change it at will.

After Concubine Jia died while saving the emperor, Concubine Jia's father wrote a letter to ask for his bones to retire (……), and His Majesty agreed, but promoted the eldest son of the Xu family to the fifth-rank official minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and canonized the second son of the Xu family as the national teacher, and specially built the National Teacher's Mansion in the capital for this purpose.

The death of Concubine Jia was not a big deal for the previous dynasty. No matter how favored Concubine Jia was in the harem, she was now dead and had no offspring. Even if she was posthumously named Imperial Noble Concubine, it would not affect the general situation of the court.

So after the state banquet, the ministers in the court focused more on the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu envoys dared to assassinate His Majesty, which was a great damage to the friendly relationship between Daning and the Xiongnu. It can even be said that the two sides have become enemies. There was endless debate in the court about how to ask the Xiongnu for compensation for this matter.

Under such circumstances, the death of Concubine Jia was naturally not a big deal. After all, she was just a concubine. It was not a big deal for them, as ministers, to stare at His Majesty's harem all day long. Therefore, the death of Concubine Jia basically did not cause any big disturbance in the previous dynasty.

On the contrary, in the harem, there were different and complicated feelings for this woman who was once favored, dominated the harem, and monopolized His Majesty, and even climbed to the position of concubine after such a short time in the palace.

Firstly, all the concubines in the harem were very jealous and...envious of such a woman who occupied the favor of His Majesty and dominated the entire harem. In fact, if it weren't for the assassination by the Huns envoy at the state banquet, Jia Fei might not have been safe.

Because Jia Fei's great favor and exclusive favor had touched the sensitive nerves of the high-ranking concubines in the harem. At that time, except for Xian Fei, who was always proud and disdainful of the women in the harem, all the other concubines had joined forces to deal with Jia Fei.

It's just that their plans and plots were interrupted by the shocking assassination by the Huns envoy.

Secondly, all the concubines in the harem were actually somewhat grateful to this woman who was favored but stood up when His Majesty was assassinated. Because if Jia Fei hadn't stepped forward to save the emperor at that time, the person who was poisoned by the hidden arrow might very well be Emperor Ning Cheng.

Emperor Ningcheng was still very young, and his oldest son was only seven years old. What could a seven-year-old child do? Even the son of Emperor Ningcheng who inherited the throne might not have a good future, let alone the concubines?

Concubines with sons could still expect to be taken care of outside the palace, but those concubines without children and favors would probably spend their lives miserably in the ancestral temple in the future, especially those concubines who had just entered the palace, who were even more unlucky and pitiful. They had not even been favored and would have to be "widows" for the rest of their lives.

It can be said that Concubine Jia saved the future of all the concubines in the harem and prevented them from having a tragic future - although Emperor Ningcheng had not passed away, their days in the harem were not very glorious.

The concubines in the harem had a complicated view of Concubine Jia, but death is like the extinguishing of a lamp, and most of them were quite sad about Concubine Jia. After all, such a young and beautiful concubine died at such a blooming age, which really made people sigh.

Moreover, there is no such thing as a hundred-day bloom in the harem. Today, His Majesty ordered her to be buried with the ceremony of the queen for her. He is heartbroken and sad for her, but after a period of time, these pains will be erased, and she will gradually disappear from His Majesty's life.

When other concubines are favored by His Majesty again in the future, His Majesty will still like other gentle and beautiful concubines, and will still be moved by other women, and Concubine Jia, who once gave her life to save His Majesty, will gradually be forgotten by His Majesty.

However, there are also concubines who think that Concubine Jia is a kind of happiness. She was the most affectionate with Emperor Ning Cheng, and died to save Emperor Ning Cheng when she was the most beautiful. In the future, the impression she left in Emperor Ning Cheng's heart will always be beautiful, perfect and moving.

Although she died, she was always remembered by His Majesty in his heart, becoming the red sand mole in his heart, a person he could never forget and would always care about. No matter how many young and beautiful, how many beautiful and charming concubines His Majesty would meet in the future, they could not replace Concubine Jia's position in His Majesty's heart.

Because the living cannot compete with the dead, not to mention that Concubine Jia died so sadly and unforgettable. She died at the best time and in her best years. Emperor Ning Cheng would always remember her in the years to come.

Emperor Ning Cheng was not clear about what the concubines in the harem were thinking, and fortunately he was not clear... Otherwise, he would have vomited blood. What a mess, red sand mole, why not white moonlight!

He admitted that he really had feelings for Xu Qingning, whose true identity was not revealed, but these feelings turned into a deep shadow after Xu Qingning's true identity was exposed, okay? Although he has a special trust in Xu Qingning, it really does not mean that he "loves" Xu Qingning. Emperor Ning Cheng does not love Nanfeng.

Emperor Ning Cheng's incident with Concubine Jia left a deep psychological shadow, so much so that after Xuanyuan's "faked death", Emperor Ning Cheng lived alone in Chenzheng Palace for a long time without summoning anyone. A concubine.

Being pure and reticent is almost as good as a Taoist priest in a Taoist temple...

And Emperor Ning Cheng, who was like this because of his psychological shadow, was praised by many bitter scholars for his affection, and even many concubines in the harem firmly believed that he was very dedicated. While they were envious and jealous of Concubine Jia's affection, they desperately wanted to win Emperor Ning Cheng's favor. Good feelings also gain such affection.

However, Emperor Ning Cheng, who was praised as being affectionate and single-minded, said: He doesn’t really want to be so single-minded and affectionate...

Fortunately, Xu Qingning was discerning and knew that Emperor Ning Cheng would feel uncomfortable when he saw him, so he left the capital immediately after being canonized as the Imperial Preceptor, not even waiting for the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion to be built in the capital.

According to Xu Qingning's report, he planned to go to the Jianghu to investigate the situation first and find out the situation in the Jianghu, so that he could control the Jianghu according to Emperor Ning Cheng's wishes and not let the Jianghu affect the stability of the court.

Emperor Ning Cheng did not express any objection to this. Whether it was because he wanted to resolve the Jianghu matter or because he did not want to see Xu Qingning, Emperor Ning Cheng hoped that Xu Qingning could make this trip.

...How about giving him some time to sort out the complicated emotions in his heart? He must sort out this complicated entanglement, otherwise in the future, whenever he summons his concubine, he will have a psychological shadow. How can he solve it?

Emperor Ning Cheng was forced to be ascetic and affectionate. He really couldn't be affectionate towards Xu Qingning. This had nothing to do with the depth of his feelings. It was really... He was not good at Nanfeng, so how could it be possible? Will have deep affection for men!

Except for Li Dezhong, the eunuch in charge of personal service, I am afraid no one knows how irritable Emperor Ning Cheng is every time he is said to be affectionate. What, who is not good at Nanfeng wants to be said to be affectionate to a man...

"Your Majesty, the one in the Cold Palace was found seeking death late last night. Now she is being held in a side hall of the Cold Palace. I don't know how to deal with her? Please give me your Majesty's instructions!" Li Dezhong walked into the Imperial Palace softly. In the study, he looked at Emperor Ning Cheng while he was correcting the memorials and reported.

Emperor Ning Cheng had just finished approving one memorial and had heard the news before he saw the second one. He frowned and hummed with a hint of impatience: "Want to die? Ha, death is not that easy. things.”

"Have people keep an eye on her, and don't allow her to seek death by running into walls and jumping into wells. If she refuses to eat or drink, just force her to drink water. Don't even think about going on a hunger strike and starving to death." Emperor Ning Cheng said in an impatient tone and was not willing to waste anything on this matter. Time, "Let her enjoy the feeling of being a 'poor' person and don't think about dying."

In fact, Emperor Ning Cheng may not care much about Xu Qingtian, just like a scornful lion would not pay attention to an ant under his feet, but who allowed this ant to offend his majesty? For such an offending existence to his majesty , Emperor Ning Cheng didn’t care, but he would never let it go.

"If you have any news about her in the future, you don't need to tell me." Emperor Ning Cheng looked indifferent and picked up another memorial and began to review it. "I don't have the time to worry about her affairs. You just need to remember to let her be punished in the cold palace. Just pay for the sin."

"It would be meaningless to directly execute her to pay for the crime of deceiving the emperor. It also seems that I am too lenient." The smile on the corner of Emperor Ning Cheng's lips was extremely cold, with a bit of contempt and disdain. Only those who investigated Xu Qingtian The records in the file told him what kind of stupid woman she was.

Li Dezhong responded, lowered his head and silently retreated to his usual position to stand, ready to respond to Emperor Ning Cheng's orders at any time.

Emperor Ningcheng continued to review the memorial. Now that Daning and the Huns had become enemies, it was time to seize this opportunity to pursue the victory and drive the Huns out of the grasslands adjacent to Daning. Emperor Ningcheng had many things to do, but he didn't know what to do. Not even busy.

As for Xu Qingtian in the cold palace? She was wearing the lowest quality linen clothes. She was dirty and exhausted. She hadn't washed herself in an unknown amount of time. The abnormality on her body made people sick. She is still in her youth, but she is as old as an old woman. Her whole body is thin and dirty, covered with calluses and wrinkles.

She was tied up and thrown casually by the well in the yard. When she looked up at the moon in the sky, she couldn't help but feel sad. She didn't know how she ended up in such a situation. She was her parents back then. He is the jewel in the palm of his hand and the treasure in his heart. He is loved and favored. Not to mention the glory and wealth, he is pampered and pampered. But why has it reached this point?

Why has it come to this point? Was it because she was willful and arrogant and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor? She knew she was wrong, and she knew how serious the sin was.

It's a pity that Xu Qingtian regretted it now, it was too late. Because no one was waiting for her to regret it, and no one cared whether she knew her mistake.

A long time ago, she had already lost the person who loved her.
