Lady Changning

Chapter 153 Xi Changning joins the Queen Mother (1)

"Can you speak now?"

"Don't worry, Empress Dowager, the matter is very simple. What Xi Changning can do is to ensure that the third prince can successfully sit on the crown prince."

The queen mother observed Xi Changning, hoping to see some clues from this immature face, but she couldn't see anything, the only thing she could see was maturity beyond her age.

"Why should I trust you?"

Xi Changning and the Queen Mother are so unbelievable characters, the two have been at odds for a long time and it is difficult to treat them on the same front.Then the Queen Mother thought of something that might make it difficult or even test Xi Changning.

"Unless you hand over Helian Bao."

The queen mother and the third prince complement each other, and she can rule the harem better when the third prince is there, so she knows that when Xi Changning sends He Lianbao to the third prince, it is inconvenient to come forward to please him.

Now that Xi Changning has shown his favor, it's no big deal for her to get back the people she sent out.Xi Lin made a big fuss in the prime minister's mansion, and Xi Jian was a little hesitant. After all, Xi Lin was the only son.

"Bao'er belongs to the third prince, and now she has the name of side concubine. How can a concubine take away the beauty of a gentleman?"

I knew that the Queen Mother still couldn't let Helian Bao go.

"Changning is not sincere enough." The Queen Mother's words were slight, but her tone was full of majesty. To put it bluntly, she just didn't believe Xi Changning.

"Why should the empress dowager bother with a court lady? The real trouble is not her but someone else."

Xi Changning hopes to divert the Queen Mother's attention to others.

"Empress Dowager, Empress Empress, and Concubine Hui, the three of them stand on one side. If the emperor really wants to make a choice, the empress dowager must know who he chooses. The only thing the concubine can do is to change this choice."

Such conditions are tempting. If the Empress Dowager wants to secure her throne and develop her own power, she can only let her own people sit on the throne of emperor.

Chapter 150 Four

In the previous life, once the prince died, the third prince would be the first in line, but this life has changed too much and he has to follow his fate. Between knowing and not knowing, Xi Changning can only bet again and again.

"You were originally the empress, why did you seek refuge with me? The living said why should I trust you?"

"The empress dowager said something unpleasant. The third concubine was once a concubine. Now she is not doing her best for the empress dowager. She is just trying to survive."

The queen mother raised her eyebrows, and seemed very dissatisfied with Xi Changning's answer that she could avoid it if she could. She got up and walked in front of Xi Changning. Xi Changning also stood up and looked at her knowingly.

"The reuse of Lingyan is because she has shown her sincerity. As for the fact that she can't answer Ben Gong well, don't say that she wants to do things for Ben Gong."

"Empress Dowager, is the concubine capable of persuading Empress Dowager to withdraw from the dispute for the crown prince?"

Like a psychological warfare, if Xi Changning hadn't experienced enough, he would not be able to face the speculations of such a cunning person so calmly.

Sure enough, the queen mother was stunned, the queen also possessed a lot of power, it was indeed not easy to have such an opponent.

"Tell me your way."

Xi Changning's light smile whetted the Queen Mother's appetite, so she took a step back and bowed to leave. ,

"Changning's method is a folk remedy, it can't be said."

As for Fang Zi's introduction, it was Xi Changning herself, and she was probably the one who caused the fire.

Walking out of the Hefu Palace, Xi Changning felt a gust of cold wind blowing in her face, but for some reason, she didn't feel cold anymore, anyway, her heart was already cold.

"Bao'er, look..."

After finishing these few words, she smiled helplessly.Where is Bao'er, now she is fighting alone.

I don't want to, when I returned to the East Palace, a beautiful woman in a palace costume was waiting. Even this complicated palace costume couldn't restrain a wild heart.

"Zimu said that you went to the queen mother and surrendered, what happened?"

Helian Bao pulled up the skirt that was in the way, and quickly ran to Xi Changning's side.

"You said that you are now a concubine without a real name anyway, so you should behave a little bit anyway?"

Ignoring He Lianbao's question, Xi Changning scolded over his head and covered his face, and immediately felt refreshed. Even when he cursed, he thought it would be good if someone listened to him.

He Lianbao's face is so dark, just think of Xi Changning as a way to miss herself, don't care about her.

"Come in and talk."

It was rare that Xi Changning thoughtfully took He Lianbao's hand and entered the hall. Of course, there was still Zimu who had been worried anxiously waiting in the hall. Anyway, he would not be able to calm down with a master like Xi Changning.

"Although the queen mother is suspicious, it will not be difficult to gain her trust as long as I succeed in this matter."

Xi Changning omitted the hardships he had endured before meeting the Queen Mother, but only summarized the content of the conversation with the Queen Mother.

"Changning, I killed you."

He Lianbao was so emotional that she was about to shed tears.

"Don't be sensational in front of me. Why did you do it earlier? This trick is not only for you, but also for myself. Sooner or later, the Queen Mother will cause trouble. Why not just do it this time."

Xi Changning has never been good at comforting others, and this kind of comfort is her biggest concession.

"What made you so firmly believe that the third prince must be the prince? If it wasn't for you, you would be in danger."

Zimu asked a question that many people wanted to ask, even He Lianbao nodded.

"intuition."

The answer was far-fetched, but it was still an answer, otherwise, according to the previous Xi Changning, she would definitely choose to remain silent.

What does depend on each other mean? At this moment, Xi Changning understood the truth, and the three of them were frowning.

"Although Bao'er has diverted the Queen Mother's attention, the Queen Mother's temperament does not completely believe that she will keep a hand, not to mention that she has suffered from me."

The marriage between Xi Lin and Princess Jing is not settled for a day, and He Lianbao is in a dangerous situation, especially Xi Lin is so straightforward, and he believes that He Lianbao and Princess Jing may not even be able to respect each other like ice.

"Bao'er, you are safe with the third prince for the time being, but you should pay attention to the spirit smoke, she is no longer the spirit smoke she used to be."

Xi Lingyan has already become obsessed with the third prince. I really don't know if she will be so persistent after knowing the face of the third prince's mask?
"The most worrying thing now is not me, but you. Can you take care of it alone?"

He Lianbao is really angry, Xi Changning is still telling her what to do, but in the eyes of others, she is almost out of consideration.

Xi Changning answered with a forced smile.Not too bad.

On a piece of paper on the table, the pen and ink are still wet, and the writing is only a few hasty words.Xi Changning looked at those words, and kept thinking whether such an adventure was worth it?

But it seemed that the people in the dark didn't give her any time to think, and the shining knife was already on her neck.

"Don't shout, follow me."

It sounded like a man's voice, but it was a bit sharp. If I was not mistaken, it should be a eunuch, that is, someone from the palace.

Xi Changning stuffed the written paper into his cuff while he was not paying attention, because her back was facing that person, so the calm and even expected expression on her face was not seen by others.

The eunuch took her to a corner of the deserted garden, and left her there. There was no one in the garden, and the night was hazy, and there was a strange feeling. Xi Changning walked around the garden, feeling familiar only for a moment. Can't figure out where it is.

"It's you?"

A woman's voice sounded from behind Xi Changning, which really startled her, but the familiarity of the voice reassured her.

"Changning sees the empress."

Could it be that the queen brought her here?But obviously she was also very surprised by her appearance, what was going on?It seems that someone deliberately let them meet.

"What do you want this palace to do?"

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager also thought that Xi Changning was looking for her, so there is nothing wrong with thinking so, the Empress Dowager did it?But why, even if the queen doesn't know, it's not difficult for her to think that it's the queen mother. Isn't this exposing herself?

Could it be that all this is just to test Xi Changning?
"Empress Empress, Changning did have something to ask you for, but I'm afraid you don't want to hear the words. You can choose not to listen."

While talking, Xi Changning looked around secretly, presumably that person should be hiding in some dark place to eavesdrop.Xi Changning knew about it, but the empress didn't know about it, so it's impossible to guarantee that she missed something in a hurry.

The empress dowager's trick is really poisonous, deliberately let Xi Changning know her purpose, but can't remind the empress, and she has to play the role of a bad person, so the empress's misunderstanding is even bigger, and she will even know a lot of things that the empress dowager wants to know through her mouth.

The queen looked at Xi Changning dissatisfied, and tried so hard to lure her to say something she didn't want to listen to. It seemed very reluctant, and she looked around from the corner of her eyes as if someone was watching.

Thinking about it in her heart, she felt wrong, but she wanted to test whether Xi Changning was still loyal to her, because she heard some words that Xi Changning was braving the cold wind to beg to see the queen mother, so the queen deliberately looked at Xi Changning pretending to know nothing .

"Have you met the queen mother? Why are you defecting now that you don't have the backing of this palace?"

The queen didn't give Xi Changning any face, that's what she said.

Xi Changning knew that the empress would know about this matter sooner or later, so he had already made up his mind, and was not afraid of the empress' questioning. Since someone was peeping, he simply did enough drama to gain the trust of the empress dowager.

Xi Changning.Kneeling down with a bang, he took the queen's hand.

"Empress Empress, how could a concubine or your daughter-in-law betray you? But the Empress Dowager is powerful, and all of this is a certain fact, so stop."

Xi Changning's words were so earnest that he almost burst into tears.

"This is your loyalty? Think about it, I was really blind to let you assist the prince."

The queen shook off Xi Changning's hand, and took a few steps back. The hatred for her was already obvious, and this was something ordinary people could understand.

At this juncture, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law should have united front, but who knows that the daughter-in-law betrayed her mother-in-law first, how can a mother who lost her son bear it.
