Between the guards and the imperial teacher, Bei Lingyao still thinks the imperial teacher is better.
The guards' status is not high, and if they are with the emperor in the future, there will be a lot of rumors.
The Imperial Master has a high status, and no one will say that he is unworthy when he is with Emperor Daoyuan in the future.
"Gou Qin, send the Imperial Master to the Xingchen Pavilion."
"yes"
When Bei Lingyao was sent to Xingchen Pavilion by Eunuch Gou, Concubine Tang in Qingyun Palace received the poisoned wine from the Empress Dowager.
Concubine Tang looked at the Empress Dowager's trusted nanny and said puzzledly:
"Mammy, is this a tonic?"
Previously, it was the Empress Dowager's trusted nanny who brought the abortion medicine.
Now seeing the Empress Dowager's trusted nanny appear again, Concubine Tang thought that she had brought her tonic.
She was touched, knowing that her great aunt still cared about her.
Unlike her aunt, the Empress Dowager, who ignored her.
"Empress Dowager"
The confidante nanny had a sad face. She was the confidante of the Grand Empress Dowager and had watched Concubine Tang grow up. She originally thought that the Grand Empress Dowager could protect Concubine Tang just like she had protected the Empress Dowager.
Unexpectedly, Grandmaster Li lost to the Goddess of Fertility, and the Imperial Concubine was about to be sentenced to death.
"That Goddess of Childbirth was a martial arts genius, personally appointed as the Imperial Preceptor by the Emperor. She defeated Grandmaster Li and forced the Empress Dowager to order the Imperial Concubine's death."
"How could that be? Who could force my great-aunt?"
Concubine Tang widened her eyes in disbelief. So what if he was the imperial master? So what if he defeated Grandmaster Li?
Their Tang family has countless innate talents, and their grandfather is the martial arts master who has the greatest hope of becoming a grandmaster.
If the Tang family came out in full force, not only would a country girl with a natural talent for martial arts be crushed, even the royal family would be crushed to pieces.
Concubine Tang could never understand why the Tang family was so powerful and her sister even married General Lei Ting’s second son.
With these strong relationships, wouldn't it be easy for the Tang family to overthrow the Dongfang family?
Even if Emperor Daoyuan was a master, so what? Not to mention that Emperor Daoyuan did not want to come back to be emperor at first, and was forced to come back by his great-aunt.
Taoist Wuyang is also old. I heard that he is over a hundred years old and will not live long. What does the Tang family have to fear?
"Mammy, my great-aunt remembers the blood relationship with the Emperor, but the Emperor hates my great-aunt and the Tang family. Once the Emperor takes back the imperial power, what good will happen to my great-aunt, my aunt, and the Tang family? I can die, but the Tang family cannot be finished."
Concubine Tang knew that she would not survive, but she still wanted to please the Empress Dowager.
Emperor Daoyuan is the only one left in Taizu's lineage, so it would be better for my great aunt to support the Tang family.
Concubine Tang expressed her thoughts.
The trusted nanny put down the poisoned wine without saying anything more. "My Lady, I will definitely pass on your words to the Grand Empress Dowager. It's getting late. Please leave."
Concubine Tang's tears fell unwillingly. "I have no regrets. He didn't want to favor a concubine and humiliated me like this. I only regret not hiding the child in my belly."
Concubine Tang raised her wine glass and looked at her trusted nanny, "I hope my death will serve as a warning to my great-aunt. I am just the beginning. The emperor has grown strong, and his butcher knife will not stop. I will wait for my relatives on the road to the underworld.
After saying this, Concubine Tang drank the poisoned wine in one gulp.
The trusted nanny looked at Concubine Tang, twitching in pain and falling to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices and dying, with a sad face.
"Mammy, the Imperial Concubine is dead."
"Send the body back to the Tang family. I will report to the Empress Dowager right away."
The trusted nanny returned to Shoukang Palace.
The Grand Empress Dowager sat on the imperial concubine's couch and looked at her trusted nanny who came in. "Is the imperial concubine gone?"
"Replying to the Empress Dowager, the Imperial Concubine has gone."
"Did she leave any message?"
"Your Highness..."
The confidante nanny told the Empress Dowager what Concubine Tang had said, and the Empress Dowager looked unhappy.
Why not support the Tang family? Because the Empress Dowager and Emperor Taizu had feelings for each other.
Emperor Daoyuan is the only one left in Taizu's lineage, and the Empress Dowager feels guilty towards Taizu.
Since she and Taizu's bloodline are the emperor, she will be Taizu's empress forever and the regent grand empress dowager.
No matter how much she changes, and no matter how much her children and grandchildren resent her, her descendants will still worship her every year.
But if the Tang family becomes the emperor, she is just a princess. How many generations of the Tang family's descendants can worship her?
The Empress Dowager was very clear about this.
This is also the reason why she insisted on bringing back Emperor Daoyuan, her own grandson.
Even though Emperor Daoyuan and his mother were plotted against by the imperial harem and were deemed unlucky, the Grand Empress Dowager did not stop them and was biased towards her niece and the prince she gave birth to.
But no one expected that the grandson of the Tang family would die without leaving any descendants.
In the end, she still had to take back the abandoned grandson Emperor Daoyuan.
"I just hope that the death of the imperial concubine will calm the emperor down."
When the Grand Empress Dowager said this, the trusted nanny hesitated and said, "Grand Empress Dowager, I'm afraid the Emperor is deeply resentful. After all, the Empress Dowager..."
"I can punish Concubine Tang, but the Empress Dowager is the empress of the previous emperor. If I punish her, how will the world view the imperial family, the Tang family, and me, the Grand Empress Dowager?"
In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, Concubine Tang was just a concubine and could be dealt with at will.
But the Empress Dowager was the empress who had worshipped at the Taimiao with the late emperor.
"I have dealt with all the concubines who participated in the murder of Zhang. Your Majesty shouldn't hold the Empress Dowager against you."
The trusted nanny looked at the stubborn empress dowager and sighed in her heart, it’s not about whether you want to or not, but what the emperor thinks.
If the Empress Dowager was not dealt with, the relationship between the Grand Empress Dowager and the Emperor, as grandfather and grandson, would remain tense.
Everyone knows that the Queen Mother was the mastermind behind the incident.
When the Empress Dowager was planning to deal with Empress Zhang and the Zhang family, the Grand Empress Dowager knew about it but did not intervene.
Duke Zhang, like Duke Tang, was also a natural at martial arts, and Empress Zhang was also a martial arts expert.
On the contrary, she is the Queen Mother, who is not even a warrior.
However, he relied on the Tang family to murder Empress Zhang.
Duke Zhang was even tricked into losing all his martial arts skills.
Emperor Daoyuan was deemed unlucky and sent to a Taoist temple. The Zhang family fell into decline and withdrew from the capital.
"I know what you are thinking, but the Queen Mother cannot move."
The Empress Dowager thought of Bei Lingyao and said, "The Emperor treats that Bei differently."
The trusted nanny nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, the Emperor is not polite to the concubines or other women in the harem, but he treats Bei differently. He even appointed her as the Imperial Preceptor and granted her residence in Xingchen Pavilion. I think this is intentional. The Empress Dowager should rest assured. Bei specializes in infertility treatment. Perhaps she can cure the Emperor, and then the Empress Dowager will have a great-grandson."
The Empress Dowager smiled. "I only hope that the Emperor can give me a great-grandson during my lifetime. I'm willing to live a few fewer years. In this life, if I live to be over ninety and hold a great-grandson in my arms, I'll be content."
"The Empress Dowager will surely get what she wants. Not only will she have a great-grandson, but she will also achieve Grandmaster status and live forever."
"yue~"
Bei Lingyao almost vomited after hearing this. This master and servant couple was too hypocritical.
