Chapter 462 Half Chapter Easter Egg
After seeing Ning Wanshuang off, Zhaohua returned to the main hall to meet Concubine Ying and Concubine Ru.
As soon as they saw Zhaohua, they said:
"The Queen has been very concerned about Princess Jinyue's funeral. She looks much more haggard."
"Yes, in recent days, the Queen has to take the Crown Prince to court and take care of the affairs of the harem. It's really tiring."
Facing these expressions of concern, Zhao Hua simply smiled faintly, then raised his eyebrows towards the empty seat below and said:
"Sit down."
After they sat down, Zhao Hua got straight to the point and said jokingly:
"I don't think Ying Fei and Ru Fei came to see me at this time just to ask about my health, right?"
Hearing this, Concubine Ying looked around, scanning the palace servants serving in the hall one by one.
Zhao Hua understood, and immediately ordered Yun Shan, "Take the people down to serve."
Only when Yunshan had evacuated all the palace servants and the palace door was solemnly closed did Yingfei whisper:
"In reply to the Queen, my father sent me a secret letter, saying that he is willing to follow the Queen and give it a try!"
Rupin also spat, "This is not a human life. I can't live another day!"
She roughly untied her hair, letting her black hair fall like a waterfall.
"That Emperor Gepao likes everyone to tie their hair like a sandbag. It's ugly and artificial! Since he likes it so much, why not tie this 'sandbag' on his head! We Mongolian women have never had so many bullshit rules!
Queen, Mongolia is afraid of becoming the next Hu tribe. My father also said that if the Queen does not go back on her terms, Mongolia is willing to lend a helping hand to the Queen! "
Since the first day Chengyu took over as regent, the entire harem understood that the position of the ruler of the world would sooner or later fall into Chengyu's hands.
Therefore, Zhaohua also took advantage of this opportunity to secretly lobby Yingfei and Rupin, taking advantage of the crisis of their mother's family and their hatred towards Xiao Jingheng, and asked them to send secret letters to their mother's family to persuade the Hu tribe and Mongolia to submit to the next emperor of the Qi Dynasty.
Choosing a wise ruler can protect your country from being invaded.
Otherwise, if Xiao Jingheng continued to control the government, all the countries and tribes in the world would sooner or later be conquered by him and become part of the Qi Dynasty's territory.
It can be said that Zhaohua had expected to receive such a response from the Hu tribe and Mongolia.
In this way, with the 20,000 Danzhou dead soil given to Xiao Jingyan by King Rui before his death, and the power of all parties in the Tianji Office, Zhao Hua already has the strength to compete with Xiao Jingheng for a short time.
Cut the Gordian knot.
As long as he dies soon enough, the world will be completely peaceful.
At this moment, Zhaohua smiled faintly and replied to Rupin's words.
"It is to help me, and it is also to help you, and it is also... to help all the women in this world who are being coerced and trampled upon by men."
At the same time, in Chaoyang Palace.
Xiao Jingheng leaned on the sickbed, quietly holding a scroll in his hands.
That was a portrait that the painter of Ruyi Pavilion drew when Jinyue was playing.
In the painting, the child is innocent and dancing with a bright smile among the colorful flowers.
Xiao Jingheng had no intention of harming Jin Yue, but Jin Yue died for him.
He finally became a father, and his heart was filled with sorrow and confusion. His eyes became red as he thought about the past.
Hear him mutter to himself:
"Retribution, everything is retribution... It was me who killed my daughter, it was me..."
Xia Ze, who had just prepared the medicine for him, came forward with the medicine and whispered:
"When I took blood from Princess Gulun, I was always careful about the amount. Such a slight blood loss is only a little more than the daily dose. Apart from making the princess sleepy and dizzy for a short time, it does not have much impact on her body. This time the princess died accidentally from falling from a height, so Your Majesty should not blame yourself too much."
The good medicine for curing the disease is now in Xiao Jingheng's hands.
He took more than ten doses of this medicine, and his health improved day by day.
He had already accepted the faint smell of blood in the medicine.
But when I smelled this scent again today, Jin Yue's innocent smile flashed through my mind uncontrollably.
Xiao Jingheng's stomach was churning, and he couldn't drink anything...
Seeing that he was vomiting, Xiao Yinzi hurriedly brought forward a jade basin and ordered someone to bring him Lanzhi Jade Liquid for him to rinse his mouth.
During this time, Xia Ze was still saying:
"Now that Princess Gulun is dead, only the Third Princess can be used..."
"Forget it." Xiao Jingheng frowned and waved his hands repeatedly, "From now on, just use ordinary methods to recuperate. It doesn't matter if the recovery is slower. I...can't hurt my child anymore."
Xia Ze was speechless for a moment. After a long silence, he could only respond respectfully.
Later, Xiao Jingheng asked Xiao Yinzi to send Xia Ze away.
When he was alone in his bedroom, he looked at Jin Yue's portrait and burst into tears.
Xia Ze was not an imperial physician, and his residence was not in the palace.
Men outside the harem were not allowed to stay overnight, so he was transported in and out by carriages and horses every day.
But today, Xia Ze was sitting in the carriage and felt that the journey out of the palace seemed particularly long.
He lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and took a look, and found that this was not the road to Shunchang Gate at all. It was pitch dark outside and there were not even two palace lanterns to be seen along the way.
He felt strange, so he stopped the carriage and asked Xiao Yinzi:
"This doesn't seem to be the way out of the palace. Where is Eunuch Yin sending me?"
Xiao Yinzi raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Suddenly, he moved the corners of his mouth, revealing a creepy smile, and said grimly:
"Send you...on your way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he hit Xia Ze with a club, knocking him unconscious.
"Take the person away!"

As a little easter egg, let me introduce to you a day in the life of Sister Zhao. If you don’t want to read it, you can skip it. There is another chapter after today’s main text update.
This easter egg is mainly for those little cuties who say that Zhao Jie has lowered her intelligence. You can think that she has lowered her intelligence, but the premise is that you should put yourself in the heroine's shoes and think about her current situation:
After taking over the government, Sister Zhao had to go to court at five o'clock every morning to listen to the chatter of officials from all sides. She would then leave court at around eleven o'clock. After finishing the day's important affairs of state, it would be almost noon.
They had to hurry to the dog emperor to act, pretending to be affectionate, helping him drink medicine, and having lunch together. After that, they had to report on state affairs to him.
After finishing all these, when I brought Ruoxin back to my palace, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.
With so many new concubines entering the harem, the queen needs to arrange many things. Moreover, the queen does not only arrange these things, but also many expenses of the harem, rewards allocated to court officials and their wives, and all kinds of miscellaneous responsibilities are all on the queen.
Originally, Ning Wanshuang could help her deal with it, but Ning Wanshuang had left the palace to mourn, so Zhao Jie had to deal with it herself. When she finished these things and had dinner, it was probably around seven or eight in the evening.
There are three children in the palace. Chengye is still young, so Sister Zhao has to kiss and coax the children when she has time.
Chengyu was timid when he went to court, so Sister Zhao had to take care of the child's emotions and help him adjust.
Among the rest, Ruoxin is the least worrying one. She can play by herself all day long without Sister Zhao having to worry too much.
After the three children fell asleep, Sister Zhao had to sort out some of the things that the Dog Emperor had told her today, and then tell them to the court officials during the morning court the next day.
After this set of combined punches, it was basically midnight. She had to go to court at five o'clock every day, and if she went to bed from now on, she could only sleep for three hours without suffering from insomnia and falling asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.
Because she was in ancient times, and things in ancient times were different from how we go to school and work. You could just brush your teeth and wash your face and go out to catch the subway. But she couldn't do that. She had to put on full makeup and style her hair, so she had to get up at three o'clock to dress up.
I didn't write about all this because I don't want to write about these trivial matters and fool people with a lot of nonsense. I'll just lay it out briefly. Sister Zhao can only sleep for three hours a day at most. Sometimes she has to go to the battle of the heart, and secretly plot things with Concubine Ying and others. I estimate that she can't even sleep for two hours a day.
Ning Wanshuang left the palace and went home for more than half a month, so Sister Zhao had to endure this high-pressure situation for more than half a month. I also saw a little cutie comment saying that she didn't bathe Ruoxin herself, she was not careful at all, and she couldn't even find the traces of pinholes...
My mom, I kowtow to you, why don’t you first ask if she has time to take a shower (laughing and crying.jpg)
Throughout this book, I didn't give the heroine any special cheats. In my eyes, she is just a normal, intelligent woman. It is impossible for her to guess and calculate everything. If that were the case, I might as well just let her pretend to be a prophet.
And from the perspective of the plot in the book, the Jinyue incident was Xiao Jingheng's fault anyway. I don't think we should put the blame on the heroine for not finding out about it. How is this different from the victim-blaming theory? Of course, if you want to blame the heroine, that's fine. Just read the book for fun. Anyway, you blame her, not me, hehe~
Also, if some of you don't like it and don't want to read it anymore, you can just give up the story. There's no need to tell me in a serious manner. Anyway, I don't plan to make money with this book. From the moment I stopped writing about the two pure women, I didn't plan to make a name for myself on Tomato with a story that doesn't involve romance. I just want to tell the story I want to tell seriously, instead of skirting around the edges and making gimmicks to make money. That's all.
Well, that's the end of Zhaohua's day. Thank you for listening to me talk so much nonsense! There is still one chapter to come.
