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

1120 Chapter 9 Conspiracy of Each Other ([-])
Qingchen leaned on the emperor's shoulder, leaned into his arms, and pouted dissatisfiedly: "The emperor has his family and country in his heart, so he naturally thinks that the concubine's birthday is a trivial matter, but the concubine is in charge of the affairs of the six palaces. It is extremely important for concubines to celebrate their birthdays. Concubine Yi is a concubine of the third rank, if her birthday is not valued by concubines, wouldn't others say that concubines despise concubines?"

The emperor knew it, even though he didn't want her to worry about the affairs of the Ji family, he didn't want her to interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty. Fortunately, she knew how to advance and retreat, and didn't say anything to embarrass each other, so she said happily: " How about you stay here and have lunch with me before going back?"

"Okay, I just don't know what delicious food the emperor has here?" Qingchen got up and waited for him to wash his hands, and the emperor asked with a smile: "What do you want to eat, I will tell the imperial dining room to do it."

"The concubines don't dare to be picky with the emperor. By the way, since the emperor has set a date to drive to the palace, the concubines will tell everyone to prepare." It is said to be ready, but in fact it is just an order. Everything has been prepared since half a month ago, just waiting for the emperor's order.

Naturally, the emperor would not take these things to heart, he only held her hand and went outside, and then ordered Fuquan to say: "When the weather is hot, the imperial concubine's appetite will not be good, and the imperial dining room will send the ingredients to the imperial concubine's palace." It must be fresh, and the meal should not be too greasy, let’s make more refreshing side dishes.”

Fuquan responded in a hurry, Qingchen accompanied him to finish his lunch, sent the emperor to take a rest, and then came out of the imperial study.

Yun Lan had been waiting outside for a long time, and when she saw her come out, she rushed up to take the food box from the maid behind her, and followed her to a long way before asking, "Ma'am, is everything going well?"

Qingchen shook his head and said: "I don't have a chance to speak. Your Majesty has already known the purpose of my visit. If I insist on going my own way, it will be counterproductive. It's better to put this matter on hold for now. Besides, the Emperor just sent Mr. Ji to prison." , but did not say how to deal with it next, presumably there will be no danger of life for a while, we can't be in a hurry, let's talk about it later."

Yun Lan thought: "Since the emperor has understood the empress's thoughts, the empress has left room for the emperor today and did not make things difficult for him. Presumably the emperor will also think of the empress's kindness, and when the anger subsides in the future, look at the empress and Liang Shu. In terms of Yiyi's face, maybe he will be punished lightly."

"I hope, if there is a suitable opportunity in the future, it is the decision of the emperor, and I have to persuade it tactfully. I also think that although the matter of taking back the land is beneficial to the country and the people, it is true. There is something wrong." Although she can't say it right now, it doesn't mean she agrees, and she also feels that the emperor is indeed a little too hasty.

In the evening, the queen's palace suddenly sent someone to the imperial study to ask for an interview. Xiao Jun hadn't seen the queen for a long time, if Caiyi hadn't spoken back, the emperor might have forgotten that there was a queen living in Bingquan Palace.

The emperor will naturally not give her a good look at someone who is not liked, so he asked in a cold tone, "Why did the empress send you here?"

Caiyi knelt on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, the empress's rouge has been poisoned. If she hadn't discovered it in time, she would have died. The empress suspects that the imperial concubine ordered it, but because there is no evidence, there is no evidence." Don’t dare to testify easily, and ask the emperor to investigate the matter.”

It's really a wave of unrest and another wave. The matter of Mrs. Shu Gui is not over yet, and such a thing happened in the harem again. If it is said that Qingchen poisoned the queen, Xiao Jun would not believe it no matter what. He believed her She didn't bother to use such indecent means to harm others, so she asked sharply: "There are so many concubines in the palace, why does the empress only suspect that it is the imperial concubine who wants to harm her, not someone else?"

Caiyi bit her lip, and boldly replied: "No one in the palace now knows that the imperial concubine is only one step away from the next position. As long as there is no queen, she will soon be able to replace the queen and become a big boss." After the new empress, if something happens to the empress, isn't the imperial concubine the biggest beneficiary?"

"It's nonsense!" The emperor sneered: "Don't say that the imperial concubine doesn't have such thoughts. Even if she has, or even if the queen is no longer here, how can she decide if I want to be a new one? Just based on this guess, you You dare to slander the imperial concubine with red lips and white teeth without any basis. You deserve to die. The reputation of the imperial concubine has been corrupted by rumors from you people. Come on, let me drag you out and stick me to death. The queen's rouge The matter of being poisoned here, let the imperial concubine go and investigate."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. What this servant said is true, and this servant dare not lie, Your Majesty..." Caiyi's frightened and sharp begging for mercy soon fell silent. Although the man had already been punished, the emperor was still furious. He clapped the table and said: "Establish the empress? When did I say that I want to abolish the empress? This is simply because someone deliberately caused trouble!"

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Fuquan hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I think the imperial concubine has already got the news, and she may have gone to the empress's palace. You can rest assured that the imperial concubine will investigate this matter." Since the founding of the country, Daqian has never been appointed as an imperial concubine. Isn't that why some people would be jealous? That girl Caiyi is right. The imperial concubine is only one step away from the next position. It's not surprising that people just want to use the greed in people's hearts to make trouble. But think about it, what a smart person the imperial concubine is. If the queen empress makes any mistakes, the first thing people think of is her murderous hand , so how could the imperial concubine do such a stupid thing?"

"How can other people not understand things that you can understand, they just don't want to understand."

Fuquan said sharply: "It doesn't matter whether others understand it or not, the important thing is what you think in your heart? If you also suspect that the imperial concubine is greedy for power and wants to sit on that phoenix chair, even if it is not the imperial concubine's choice Because, then she can't escape the bad luck that this incident brought to her. But if you believe in the noble concubine's character, then some people are working in vain. It doesn't matter what the truth is, what matters is whether you will Because of this matter, you became wary of the imperial concubine?"

The emperor turned his head and looked at Fuquan in an unclear manner, and when he finished speaking, he stood aside expressionlessly, as if nothing had happened just now, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows and said: "Fuquan, are you an old man in this palace after all?" , I can see some things more clearly than I do!"

Fuquan hurriedly said: "I dare not, my slave is just a bystander."

Since Qingchen returned to the palace, he was troubled by many things, so he didn't bother to visit the queen. It's not that he didn't take the queen seriously, but the Bingquan Palace was very remote, and the queen lived in seclusion and thought about it. There is no special order to allow her to pay homage, one more thing is worse than one less thing, and there is no guarantee that the queen will have any troubles when she sees her, and it is good for each other to live in peace if they don't meet, so she doesn't want to set foot in Bingquan Palace.
