Chapter 523: The Empress Dowager Wants to Abolish the Emperor (1)
The capital of the Great Yin, the Imperial Palace, and the Ci'an Palace
Qiao Mu held the copper Qingluan phoenix pattern hollow small stove, half-squinted and leaned on the sour jujube wood chair paved with brocade cotton, looking at the charcoal fire that was smoking a little green smoke not far away, and sighed lightly.
It seems that the original body is in a very bad situation.
Even if you don't look at other aspects, just look at the charcoal basin not far from her, Qiao Mu also knows that the original body has no real power, and even the relationship with the emperor may not be good, because the charcoal in the charcoal basin is actually smoking.
"Sister Cuiguo, those eunuchs in the Internal Affairs Office are getting more and more excessive, and they even told me that there is no silver frost charcoal in this palace, so they can only burn these.
Isn't that ridiculous?
I don't know how much silver frost charcoal can be supplied every year, and now it's not the New Year, and the weather is far from the coldest time, so I was told that there was no.
This is clearly bullying us......
As soon as the charcoal is burned, it won't take long for the house to smell of smoke and charcoal, and you must open the doors and windows slightly, so as not to be poisoned by charcoal, but if you don't burn, it will be too cold in the mother's inner bed. ”
Outside the curtain not far away, a female official was whispering to the female palace official beside Qiao Mu about the reason why she only brought back an ordinary charcoal fire and lit it.
"You didn't make some money to get through?"
Faced with this situation, the female official in charge of the palace did not have any good ideas, so she could only use silver money to open the way.
Fortunately, their queen mothers are wealthy.
This can be sustained.
"I also asked, but no is no, I quietly asked a little eunuch over there in the Charcoal Bureau, and he said that in the morning, Concubine Zhen took the four-character holy decree approved by the Holy Lord, the more the merrier, and took away all the silver frost charcoal over there.
I heard that it was the concubine Zhen who was afraid of the cold.
I want to make her palace as warm as early summer......"
The female officer who just replied also replied with a bitter face, if she didn't really have no choice, how could she come back with ordinary charcoal?
Don't talk about her.
Late to go, or to go in the afternoon.
I don't think I received the Silver Frost Charcoal.
It is only possible to receive it again after two days, when a new batch of silver frost charcoal is sent in again.
However, it is estimated that the Empress Dowager has already sent the silver frost charcoal they need for a whole year, but the poor Empress Dowager Ci'an Palace may be similar to those concubines with the same treatment, and they can only send people to receive it themselves, and they may not be able to receive good charcoal.
"How is this good, Niangniang's health has never been good, so I gave up my life to go to the Zichen Hall to ask for a meeting with the saint and tell him about it.
Although Niangniang is not his own grandmother, the position of the queen mother was canonized by the first emperor himself, and the empress dowager was also enshrined by him.
He can't deny this filial piety! ”
The female official in charge of the palace first turned back and forth twice worriedly, and then gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, for fear that the Empress Dowager would be sick, and immediately made up her mind to go to the Zichen Palace to break into the palace and scold her for being unfilial.
And so, even if she was killed with a rod.
The emperor must also send some more silver frost charcoal, otherwise once the news spreads, he will have no reputation and royal face.
Qiao Mu also heard this, only to know that the original body was not the current emperor's own grandmother, so it is no wonder, back then the Empress Dowager Dou was still Liu Che's own grandmother, didn't she almost completely tear her face for power, and now the original body is not the current emperor's own grandmother, so it is estimated that it will maintain a superficial effort, and give some respect on the surface.
If there is any more revenge for killing my mother and killing my grandmother.
That's probably harder to say.
Just thinking about it, her lady in charge of the palace had already turned around to go out, and Qiao Mu hurriedly didn't care about contemplation, quickly opened his eyes, and shouted:
"Come back, you don't have to go.
For this reason, there is no need for this.
It's the same with this ordinary charcoal fire, and some poor people don't even have such a charcoal fire yet, as long as they pay attention to opening some doors and windows, there is no need to toss about it.
No matter how good the silver frost carbon is, it is not really charcoal-free, if it is used too much in a closed space.
Maybe I'll die that day......"
Before Qiao Mu finished speaking, he vaguely heard some noisy sounds, and the content that he wanted to continue to say in his mouth couldn't help but pause, and began to listen carefully to the sounds outside.
"How did I hear someone rushing to call the Imperial Doctor, and shouting Concubine Zhen or something?
Cuiguo, go out and ask about the situation. ”
"Yes, the Emperor!"
The lady in charge of the palace, that is, Cuiguo, also heard the voice coming from the Jincui Palace at this time, and after bending down to answer the sound, she immediately turned around and went out, and ordered the two inner supervisors outside to inquire about the situation, and quickly came back to report the news.
Because Jincui Palace is not very far from Ci'an Palace, it is only a few minutes away, so Qiao Mu didn't wait long before he saw Cuiguo walk in again, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he replied with a smile:
"The Empress Dowager, the noise outside is all because Concubine Zhen has an accident, the specific situation is still unknown, I only heard rumors that Concubine Zhen has a nap habit every day, but today I don't know why I slept for nearly two hours, and I can't wake up when I call it, and wait for those palace maids to see it...... Say it for fear of dirty your ears. ”
"Say, it can't be charcoal poisoning, right?"
In fact, what Qiao Mu just wanted to say is that although the silver frost charcoal has no smoke, it does not mean that carbon monoxide will not be produced, but it is better than ordinary black charcoal, and there is basically no problem with burning a little less, but if it burns too much and the house is not breathable, it will also cause an accident.
At this time, think about the situation outside.
Qiao Mu couldn't help but feel that his mouth was a little too smart, how long had it been.
Is the light on?
"I'm afraid that's it.
The Empress Niang, you are really clever.
The slave maid heard that those palace maids did not realize that something was wrong until they found out that Concubine Zhen was incontinent, and hurriedly went to find the imperial doctor, and when the imperial doctor arrived, it was too late. ”
Cuiguo has long been very displeased with that concubine, and today she knows that it is because that concubine Zhen is going to take away all the silver frost charcoal, which caused the queen mother to be even more angry when she has no silver frost carbon available, and now she knows that she has suffered a disaster, are you not happy?
If it weren't for the presence of the Empress Dowager.
She wanted to laugh out loud.
"It's a pity, it's just that, the mourning family is also a little tired, if you want to take a nap, you help the mourning family watch some charcoal fires, and don't close the doors and windows tightly.
If it's all right, don't call me. ”
Qiao Mu is not a good-tempered person, naturally it is impossible to pity and grieve for a person who robbed her charcoal, she just wants to quickly sort out the memories of the original body and understand the desire of the original body.
