Conspiracy

Chapter 192 Using Xun as an excuse to test the bottom line

Su Zhen stood up leisurely, "Ma'am, this was dug out from the courtyard of Qiling Palace, have you seen this thing before?"

"What a joke! She was born as a mere maidservant, how could I have seen her stuff!"

"Since the empress taught Li Jieyu how to practice calligraphy, she must have regarded her as one of her own. Otherwise, you would not have heard that she disappeared and sent someone to flog her maid Yueluo to vent your anger."

With a calm demeanor, Su Zhen tried to test Concubine Yu Gui's tolerance limit for her.

Yu Changqing didn't expect Su Zhen to be so straightforward, and was about to defend her, but saw Concubine Yu raised her chin and sneered, raised her hand and twirled the jadeite orchid bracelet on her white wrist, her contemptuous eyes fell on them.

"To vent your anger? Could it be that the two of you are here to accompany me to relieve my fatigue and amuse you? I want to punish a court lady, there are many ways, but I still need to fear her master? Even if Li Yu is here, let alone beating her , even if Bengong finds a random excuse to give her death, so what? Can the emperor punish Bengong for her?"

Hearing her arrogant tone, Su Zhen suddenly felt weird, if it wasn't Concubine Yu, then who would hit Yueluo?

"Imperial Concubine, You Ning is straight-tempered, don't blame your empress."

Concubine Yu ignored Yu Changqing, waved her wide sleeves, got up and walked towards Su Zhen, raised her head lightly, and the light in her eyes flickered.

Su Zhen stood on the spot without moving, Concubine Yu stood still in front of her, raised her arm, and brushed Su Zhen's cheek directly, the latter's eyes were calm and unwavering, without any dodging.

"Young lady, respect yourself."

Concubine Yu smiled lightly, "It is rumored that Su Shaoqing has the courage to fight against monsters. But I heard that it is because Su Shaoqing has a secret treasure in his hand. I don't know if this is true or not?"

"The imperial concubine was joking, how can I have any secret treasures? You are smart and wise, and naturally you will not be swayed by those hearsay."

Concubine Yu Guifei walked around her, then sat back on the soft bed, took the tea from the court lady, lifted the lid and swirled the tea back and forth, the tea was green in color and mellow in taste.

"I heard that the secret treasure is an ancient Xun."

Ah!It turned out that it was Jinxuan who was eyeing her!

"Hui Niangniang, the lower officials do have one, but it's just an ordinary Xun."

"Then take it out and show it to me, it's an eye-opener."

Yu Changqing frowned, staring at them nervously, Su Zhen looked at them, and slowly took out Jinxuan.

Concubine Yu gave a satisfied smile, took it from her hand, and rubbed Jinxuan carefully, "I heard that this xun is a hundred-day gift from General Xiao to Su Shaoqing?"

"Your Majesty is in the deep palace, so there are quite a lot of hearsay news. But as you said, it is true."

Concubine Yu Guifei sat down again, lowered her eyes and said, "A master who is good at rhythm has recently come to the palace. I wonder if Su Shaoqing will give up his love and borrow it for a while."

cut!It is said to be borrowed, but if she really takes it away, I am afraid that the return date will be far away!

"Hui Niangniang, this xun can only be played by the official, and it falls into the hands of others, it is no different from a dumb xun."

Concubine Yu made it clear that she didn't believe it, she put it to her lips for a try, and it was really silent.

Concubine Yu Guifei leaned on the beauty's couch and listened to the song, raised her index finger and stroked her chin, "Since this is the case, I have no choice but to have Lao Su Shaoqing play a song for me to listen to."

"Thank you, Concubine Gui, for your love. It's an honor for me to be able to play a song for you."

Concubine Yu handed the xun to the palace man, who stepped forward to take it and handed it back to Su Zhen.

She quietly wrapped Jinxuan with her spiritual power and carefully checked that Concubine Yu did not tamper with it secretly.

The moment I closed my eyes, I was completely immersed in my own world, and the sound of Xun was lonely and wandering, sad and desolate.Suddenly, it seems to hear the beauty under the moon whispering softly, expressing her endless loneliness, expressing her nostalgia.The sound of the xun suddenly changed, and it seemed that the autumn wind was bleak, the dead leaves were falling, and the ground was golden.

After listening to the song, Concubine Yu clapped her hands, her red lips parted lightly, "Su Shaoqing, I carefully read this song, why do I feel that Su Shaoqing has someone he likes, but he can't find it."

"Your Majesty is worrying too much, it's nothing to do with it."

"It suddenly occurred to me that Su Shaoqing should be crowned next year. If I remember correctly, the eldest daughter of the Taifu's mansion should be named Shen'er, and in half a year, she should also perform the ceremony. I don't know if the Taifu's mansion has done it Its marriage?"

"Go back to your mother, Xiaguan's mother is recently discussing this matter for the elder sister."

"Hey, it's almost the day of the draft, and it's time to choose the main concubine and side concubine for the crown prince and several princes. Especially our highness the crown prince, who doesn't even have a side concubine so far. The relationship is very close, and some gossip and rumors spread, which damages His Highness's reputation. But whoever doesn't look like a mirror in his heart, of course His Highness will not have that kind of habit. After all, Su Taifu watched the prince grow up, Shen'er If you can enter the Eastern Palace and become the Crown Princess, that would be the best."

Concubine Yu Gui chatted with her for a while, and it turned out that she was trying to test the relationship between the Taifu's mansion and the prince and Xiao Chuhong.

She smiled calmly, "Your Majesty, although it is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, the future husband of the elder sister still needs her to really like her before he can spend the rest of his life with her. Although His Royal Highness is good, he is really not a good man for the elder sister."

To put it bluntly, what Su Zhen meant is that her eldest sister likes it, as long as the man has a good character and likes her, the family will not interfere.

How could she not think about such a gorgeous and dirty place like the imperial palace, and send Su Shen'er into the fire pit to be eaten by these wolves.

In short, Concubine Yu Gui's worries are obviously superfluous.

Concubine Yu Guifei heard a satisfactory reply from Su Zhen, knowing that the Tai Tuo's residence had no intention of marrying the royal family, the smile on her face was a little kind when she faced Su Zhen.

"Okay, I'm tired, you can step back. I don't know much about Li Jieyu, so I'm afraid I can't help you."

Yu Changqing and Su Zhen looked at each other, and at the same time bowed their hands together, "I will take my leave."

After the two stepped out of the palace gate, Shang Yici walked out from the side hall on the right, leaned over and saluted Concubine Yu, "Mother Concubine."

Sitting on the lower seat of Concubine Yu, she picked up the tea brought by the maid and took a sip, "Concubine Mu, have you found anything from Su Zhen?"

Concubine Yu waved her hand, and the rest of the palace immediately retreated.

"Just like the rumors, I don't know etiquette, I'm too aggressive, and I like to fight with words."

"Has the concubine mother seen his ancient Xun?"

"As he said, no one else can blow it, and the pattern on it is the same as what you drew before."

"Oh? That's interesting." Shang Yici's lips curled into a strange smile, "Xiao Chuhong, Su Zhen. Since they have chosen the crown prince, there is no need for me to keep them."

"By the way, Ci'er, I also feel that Li Yu's disappearance is a bit strange."

"Mother and concubine, don't worry, this matter has been properly arranged, so you don't need to worry. My son will soon be crowned prince, and then you will be crowned the great treasure. At that time, you will be the only empress dowager!"

"it is good!"

The mother and son looked at each other and smiled, not knowing what bad idea they were planning.

After Su Zhen and Yu Changqing left Kunhua Palace, they each had their own concerns.

When passing by the East Palace, I heard from the palace people that Gu Yunshu stayed in the palace last night, and returned to the East Palace with the crown prince just after coming down to court.

"Master Yu, can you accompany me to the East Palace, maybe Master Gu will bring us clues."

Gu Yunshu?
"But as soon as we came out of Concubine Yu's Palace, we turned around and went to the East Palace. Will it cause criticism?"

"It doesn't matter, it's all the same. We were ordered to look for Li Jieyu, if we can't find it, the emperor will also blame him."

Yu Changqing nodded, and changed direction to the East Palace, Su Zhen covered her mouth and snickered, and followed.

The palace servants who were following them hurriedly returned to Kunhua Palace to report.
