After being reborn as a widow, the mistress of the Hou family remarried a powerful official

"What does Concubine De mean when she said that her lips are dead and her teeth are cold?"

A cold light flashed in Concubine De's eyes, and she said: "The person who harmed the champion is the same person who harmed my father."

"Prime Minister."

"Yes, you actually knew it was him."

Ke Yiqing also confessed, "Isn't it that Concubine De came to me just to join forces with me to get rid of the prime minister?"

"You are a smart man, but I am even more curious. How did you guess it?"

She smiled and explained everything to everyone.

It's just that the other party never takes sides, but he shows kindness to her alone, which makes people feel abnormal.

"My wife couldn't understand it at first, but after getting in touch with her, I admired her deeply."

"How come?"

"Outside the palace, my wife doesn't dare to say much, but in this harem, I'm afraid there's nothing that the queen doesn't know about, right?"

The admiration in Concubine De's eyes became even stronger, "But you are an exception. You are smarter than I expected. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have to wait for a long time."

"No matter how smart I am, I can't escape the eyes of my mother. I'm afraid my mother already knows who the biological father of the fetus in her belly is, right?"

It was precisely because of her knowledge that Concubine De had already predicted the fate of Ke Yiqing and Chu Yun's life-and-death struggle. It was also because of this that she repeatedly extended an olive branch to others.

Concubine De applauded, "I like to talk to smart people."

"Since everything has been made clear, I would like to ask Concubine De to inform you about the affairs between Marquis Xuanping and the Prime Minister."

No matter how smart she was, she couldn't have figured out the bad things between the two of them. After all, her son hadn't been born yet.

Concubine De thought for a moment, and finally said, half threatening and half joking: "If I inform you of this matter, the two of us are in the same boat, right?"

"That's natural."

Not to mention that Ke Yiqing had no possibility of surrendering to the prime minister, even if the prime minister knew about it, he would definitely kill her and silence her.

No matter how you look at it, the interests of the two are very unified.

In the end, Concubine De no longer kept it secret, "When I first reached the age of marriage, my father originally intended for me to find a good wife, but Ji Yuanrong appeared at that time."

The founding of Da Qi has only lasted 24 years. 24 years ago, Marquis Xuanping completely ruined his daughter's happiness because of Ji Yuanrong's words.

At that time, Ji Yuanrong had not yet become prime minister, but he went to lobby in the name of the Holy Emperor.

"He told my father that things are about to change. Although my father is from a noble family, he still needs to be wise and protective. It is the most suitable thing to send his daughter out for marriage."

Speaking of this, there was hatred in her eyes, not only for the prime minister, but also for her father at that time.

Ke Yiqing said nothing. She knew that so many years of painful life could not be eliminated with a few simple words of comfort.

When talking about the latter part, Concubine De became extremely emotional. Finally, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So, although I already have a husband that I like, my father still pointed me out to the emperor as a husband." concubine!"

She almost said the last two words through gritted teeth.

Asking a girl of noble birth, beauty, talent and talent to marry an unknown man as a concubine is nothing short of an insult. No wonder Concubine De hates the prime minister so much.

"and after?"

"Later? Later, he had a closer relationship with my father, but I don't know when it started. The relationship between the two changed from overt to covert. After I entered the palace, I knew very little about the news about my mother's family until someone Once, I became suspicious."

Concubine De, who was caught in memories, looked a little solemn. She told Ke Yiqing that it was a Mid-Autumn Festival night a few years ago. "My father wrote a letter home as usual. In addition to informing me that everything is going well at home, my father was also quite excited in his words, telling me in a subtle way that if something is done, the position of the head of the eight great families will be within my reach. "

Ke Yiqing's heart moved and he asked: "Can the empress remember the specific time?"

"About four or five years ago."

Four and a half years have passed since the incident of deposing the crown prince, and it was the Mid-Autumn Festival four or five years ago. Wasn't it not long after the case of deposing the crown prince happened?

Under what circumstances would one make such a big commitment?
The icing on the cake obviously can't be like this, but what if it can help the deposed prince make a comeback?

Before the deposed prince loses power, the power of a well-behaved family will naturally not be able to enter his discernment, but after he loses power, this power will be particularly critical.

Come to think of it, Xuanpinghou relied on the prime minister's common style to annex the remaining forces of Pingyanghou and Wu'anhou, and rose to the top of the eight great families in one fell swoop. Even the champion princes had to avoid his influence.

After thinking about this, she asked Concubine De if she had found out anything over the years.

"It's quite a lot, but it's a pity that my method is not popular, so it can't be considered as evidence at all."

The things brought out this time were each heavier than the last. "These are all the work of a tribe next to the prime minister."

Ke Yiqing took a look at it, only to find it shocking. Each letter had very different handwriting, hobbies, and even oral habits. If Concubine De had not told her that it was written by the same person, she would not have believed it.

"This person is too scary. Who is he?"

"I don't know."

"I also expected that the prime minister must have hidden this person's identity very well."

Concubine De said: "This is not the person I am most worried about. What worries me the most is that the prime minister may have spies in various forces."

"Is what the empress said too exaggerated?"

Although it is said in the court that the prime minister covers the sky with one hand, when it comes to the strength of the family, even the prime minister has to weigh it.

Concubine De smiled bitterly and said: "I am not exaggerating. With the help of my father and the champion, the prime minister's power is probably all-pervasive."

"The Champion? But isn't the Champion already long ago..."

"I have been suspicious before, but this is a secret report that I intercepted."

Ke Yiqing took it and took a look. It actually contained greetings to Wen Yu and Mrs. Zhao. But wasn't Mrs. Zhao in Shengjing?

"I know all the doubts in your heart. Mrs. Zhao has been ill since the new year. The eldest princess is arrogant, and Mrs. Zhao has always been afraid of her. After all this time, she has not noticed anything strange."

"Then the story of Princess Wen Yu marrying far away is also a lie?"

Concubine De smiled and said, "Yes, she has changed her name now and is still living her free and happy life."

She couldn't believe it, "How is this possible? His Royal Highness and the eldest princess are still in Shengjing. Hasn't the champion thought about them?"

"Innocent, how can a man who sells himself to others for glory, be affectionate and righteous?"

"Could it be that he was really responsible for the military rations?"

"Yes, the eldest princess is a strong and domineering person. The champion is very dissatisfied with her marriage. He has no choice but to keep it secret due to the royal authority. In addition, the emperor has been deliberately suppressing him for many years. He has long had a disobedient heart, so he He tampered with military rations several times."

Concubine De told her that the amount of food and grass she had accumulated over the years had reached a terrible figure, and all the food she had shipped there last year had been swallowed up.

"Can the champion really get away with it?"

"You got the point right."
