The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 1094 The Intentions Are Sinister (10)
Qingchen's whole body was cold, and his hairs couldn't help but stand on end. While the coolness permeated the limbs and bones, it was also accompanied by an indescribable nausea.If all of this just now was a scene directed and acted by the concubine Xian, then this kind of Ye Hanyu would be too scary.

Seeing her pressing her chest, Yun Lan thought she was sad, so she persuaded again: "Madam, she is no longer worthy of your trust, how about a person who framed you many times, but suddenly went to hold a cup of hot tea for you, and This little injury is not a big problem to her, if you trust her because of this, then what is waiting for you may be a deadly trap."

Qingchen nodded, and said coldly: "Yunlan, don't worry, I won't trust her anymore, I'm not so stupid!"

After thinking for a while, he ordered her to say: "When the son returned to the feudal land, he left a few available people for the palace. You send a secret signal to Shu Xuan and ask him to wait in the artificial mountain forest of the Suoxiu Pavilion for three o'clock. I, I have something to tell them to do."

Yun Lan hurriedly agreed, and only after dark did she go to an inconspicuous corner of the palace and send out the secret signal.

Qingchen had served the emperor for dinner, and after Xiao Jun went to the imperial study, he put on a black cloak and took Jinxiu to the Taoxiu Pavilion.

Shu Xuan and the others had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing her rushing over and kneeling on one leg to salute, Qingchen saw them and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty will stay in the capital to work for me, so I will not treat you badly." After leaving you, from now on, you will be the secret guards of this palace, and this palace will give you new names, Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu, and Shu Xuan will lead you, are you willing?"

There was no expression on Shu Xuan's solemn face, he just responded in a low voice: "Yes, from now on, the subordinates will be your saviors. If you have anything to order, your subordinates will definitely die."

"Very good." Qingchen's majestic eyes swept over their faces one by one, and then he ordered: "I have something to tell you now. From now on, I want you to collect the details of the officials in the capital. You must act carefully, and you must not startle the enemy, I am just planning for a rainy day, and I don’t want to be too passive in the future, do you understand?"

Shu Xuan said with a blank expression: "This subordinate is just following orders, there is no need to understand so much, what the empress told me, this subordinate will do its best to complete it. Here, there is no right or wrong, only loyalty!"

Qingchen nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice while appreciating: "Well said, you are indeed a smart person who has passed away. If you don't receive a secret signal in the future, you don't need to enter the palace, as long as you do your own errands well. As for the salary, I The palace will double the amount given by the prince before. If you have other needs, you can also ask me. In short, what I need is someone who is loyal to me wholeheartedly, and there must be no mistakes to expose my identity. ,do you understand?"

Shu Xuan and the other four responded in a low voice: "Yes, this subordinate obeys."

Qingchen hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Is there any news for you recently, Shizi?"

Shu Xuan hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is still on the way, and it will take about seven or eight days to return to Liangdi."

"Understood, be careful when you go out of the palace, the guards in the palace are not idlers." After Qingchen gave the order, seeing them salute and leave, he led Jinxiu back.

On the way, Jinxiu asked puzzledly: "What is your empress doing this for? Now the harem is already under your empress's control, so why do you want to take advantage of the former ministers?"

"Jinxiu, I have no choice but to do this. Although it's not an aboveboard method, I don't have any shady purpose. Everything is just for self-protection. I only hope that their dirty things in private will never end. Don't let me turn it to the bright side, as long as they don't embarrass me, I won't make things difficult for them."

Qingchen knew very well that with Concubine Xian and Concubine Ning around, his future path was not easy, and he really needed to make more plans.She may be able to control the affairs of the harem in her own hands, but it is not so easy to control the front court.Back then Concubine Shu used an imperial decree to frame the queen, and the two factions knelt in front of the imperial study to protect their master. She still cannot remember how embarrassing the emperor was at that time.She would never allow such a thing to happen to her, and even if it happened, she would not allow herself to be powerless and only rely on the protection of the emperor, because the emperor is not omnipotent, relying on no one is worse than relying on herself.

Jinxiu didn't expect her to have such a long-term plan, she was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Actually, what the empress did was right, the queen will be deposed sooner or later, even if the empress does not act, Concubine Ning will never allow the empress to live too long , she is the one who wants to sit on that phoenix chair wholeheartedly, how could she tolerate a useless person in the palace occupying that supreme position all the time?"

Qingchen supported Jinxiu's hand and walked slowly. When she came out, she didn't bring a lantern, and she didn't wear those pearl shoes. Fortunately, the moonlight was still bright, but she couldn't see the way clearly, so she walked very slowly, a little It seems that the master and servant are taking a walk.

"I don't care what Concubine Ning thinks, but at least I won't do such a thing. The queen has fallen to such a point, and living is the greatest punishment for her. Let her repent. Besides, if she dies before me What would the emperor think? Now that I have what I should have, if I am still not satisfied, if I insist on that position, I am afraid that in the end I will not even be able to keep what I have. Although I don’t believe in fate, sometimes I feel that , the queen's phoenix chair is not something that you can definitely get if you have a scheming heart, it is the destiny. There is no insistence on force in the destiny, it is just forcing yourself to death."

Jinxiu nodded thoughtfully and said: "Your Majesty said, just like when the Sixth Prince became the Emperor back then, the late Emperor had so many princes, but who would have expected that the most indifferent one would sit on the throne in the end?" The throne? Maybe it’s good to let things take their course, and there will be one in fate. If not, you can’t force it. Even like a queen, even if she once wore the most noble crown, she still ended up in a miserable end.”

"It's good that you understand, so I never dare to dream about it, because once you have such an idea, you will involuntarily want to fight for it, and in this process, as long as you stab the first plot of the conspiracy to others After that, you will sink deeper and deeper like walking in a quagmire, with blood on your hands and many sins. Even if the Buddha is willing to forgive you, can you really get over your own heart? Just like the Queen Mother, eating fast and chanting Buddha For many years, when you have nightmares, don’t you still wake up with fright? I don’t want to see someone come to claim my life when I come back from the dream at midnight.”

Jinxiu sneered and said: "Those people only see glory and wealth in their eyes. There is no right and wrong. Even Xianfei has reached the point where she is today, let alone other people? It doesn't matter if they don't think about it. If we can really drill into their hearts to see what happened, I'm afraid that what is wrung out is poisonous juice that is more poisonous than Hedinghong."
