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

Chapter 610 Conspiracy to seize the emperor's heir (11)
After the little father-in-law came in, Concubine Li saw that this man had a strange face, she didn't know him at all, she was puzzled, and heard the little father-in-law kowtow and said: "The servant sees the emperor, the empress, please greet all the ladies, the slave is here To return the money to Concubine Li, the empress asked the servant to bring some money to a sister outside the palace to subsidize the family, but the servant was incompetent, he was late and moved away, and the woman the empress mentioned was not found, so I came here specially Return your mother's silver."

As he spoke, he took out an 800 tael bank note from his sleeve, and handed it over respectfully.

Concubine Li hadn't realized what was going on, but she saw Yin Xiang's eyes lit up, grabbed the bank note, and reminded her deliberately, as if she was afraid that she would not admit it: "My lady, did you forget? A few days ago The girl Xueqian who had a good relationship with the empress sent a letter to the empress saying that she had become a good man, and the empress thought that she had given her 800 taels of settling allowance for the sake of being a sister. "

Seeing Yin Xiang's nervous and expectant eyes, Concubine Li also nodded in panic and said: "Yes, I remembered that there was such a thing, but I forgot it after a long time."

The queen asked Yinxiang again: "Since the money was rewarded by your mother, why didn't you say it just now?"

Yin Xiang glanced at the emperor again, and said pitifully with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, empress empress, it's not that the servants refuse to tell, but the servants are thinking about the whereabouts of the money... It's hard to say because of Miss Xueqian's identity..."

Many people in the palace looked down on Concubine Li because she once lost her virginity in a brothel. If they knew that she treated a good singing girl so favorably, wouldn't they despise her even more?This is what Yin Xiang wanted to say, but she was afraid of being punished by the emperor, so she dared not say it very clearly.

Seeing that Yinxiang reacted quickly and cleverly, the queen was slightly relieved.

Concubine Ning smiled helplessly at Qing Chen, what time is it, it's almost time, this little eunuch wants to pay back the money, when can't he pay back, but he came to ask for an audience at this juncture, obviously it was the queen's helping hand, but even though They all understand in their hearts, so what can they do?
Before the emperor could speak, he heard Gao Desheng, the eunuch in charge of Concubine Li's Palace, saying that there were two young eunuchs in Bixiao Palace who hanged themselves in fear of crime, and they wrote the suicide note before they died. The imperial gift in the concubine's palace is to help the family, and now the master is punished and punished to apologize with death.

In this way, everything has nothing to do with Concubine Li. Qingchen thinks that the Queen's hands and feet are quick, and it only took a while to force someone to become a scapegoat.

Concubine Li suddenly slumped on the ground when she heard the words, she seemed to say with infinite heartache: "Why bother, I didn't blame them, because a little thing outside of the body cost two lives, is it worth it?"

At this time, she was still acting as a show of mercy.

Xiao Jun got up and walked out without saying anything. At this point, he really didn't want to say anything more. He already knew what was going on in Concubine Li's palace. If you really believe it, then he is a fool!
But without evidence, even the emperor couldn't convict her.

Concubine Li sat on the ground with a pale face, the emperor walked away for a while, she still couldn't recover, until Yin Xiang got up to help her, she helped Yin Xiang to stand up with difficulty as if she escaped disaster.

Concubine Ning's expression was not good when she saw the queen. She could guess some things, but couldn't the emperor not?Who is helping Concubine Li secretly tonight, there is no need to say anything, everyone knows it in their hearts.

The emperor didn't say anything before leaving, but Concubine Ning knew very well that the more the emperor was like this, the more disappointed he would be with one person. Concubine Li's favor might be coming to an end.

Seeing Concubine Li's reluctance, Concubine Ning smiled and said: "Empress, it's late at night, and the concubine should go back. If the concubine has no other orders, the concubine will leave first."

What can the queen say now?He sighed resentfully, nodded and said, "Yes, it's too late, you all should go back to rest. The night is cold and windy, and the road under your feet is not easy to walk, so you should all pay more attention."

These words seemed to contain some threatening elements, but they didn't seem to have said anything, but both of them said calmly and respectfully: "Yes, my concubine is resigning."

Now no matter whether it is Qingchen or Concubine Ning, no one is in the mood to speculate on the meaning of the queen's words. If they have the ability, they will continue to fight. Qingchen is no longer that little noble who is trembling and only wants to protect himself. It's easy to do nothing to her, so what else is she afraid of?
When Concubine Ning and Qingchen came out of the gate of Chengkun Palace, the Empress looked at Concubine Li sternly and said, "If you make up your own mind about everything, this Palace will not be able to help you. How can you restore the Sacred Heart tonight? You can figure it out yourself!"

"Empress..." Seeing that the queen turned around and was about to leave, Concubine Li hurriedly explained: "The concubine wants to keep the emperor's favor longer because she wants to do more things for the empress. Not entirely for myself."

The queen snorted coldly and said, "Since you still want to help Ben Gong, you must first ask Ben Gong if you agree to do so, otherwise Ben Gong won't help you clean up the mess all the time!"

Concubine Li knew that she had a difficult road ahead, and it was not the time to start her own family, so she hurriedly said respectfully: "Yes, I know I was wrong, thank you Queen for taking care of me, I am very grateful."

The queen still said angrily: "It's good to know that you're wrong. It's getting late, and the palace is going to rest. You should go back first. You'd better beg the eldest prince to survive this calamity safely, otherwise you won't be killed. The emperor will never forgive you again in this lifetime."

Concubine Li was really discouraged at the moment, she said softly with tears in her eyes, "Yes, the concubine is resigning."

Concubine Ning and Qingchen's sedan chairs were in front of each other, but the two remained silent and did not say much. It is good to know some things clearly, and there is really no need to say much.

At the fork in the road, Concubine Ning raised the curtain and said to Qingchen: "Sister Concubine Chen, the empress said that the road under our feet is not easy, so we should be careful. In fact, I don't think the road is so difficult during this journey. , but there are too many stumbling blocks, what do you think?"

Qingchen said with a faint smile: "What Sister Ningfei said is that the road is difficult, whether it is in the water or in the mountains. I care about the repetition of people's hearts. No matter how difficult the road is, the younger sister will support each other to finish it. As for those stumbling blocks... sooner or later It can all be cleaned up.”

Concubine Ning nodded slightly, and said meaningfully: "If you want to get rid of it, you must first make her look uncomfortable and feel uncomfortable. The emperor looks uncomfortable, so naturally it's time to move away. Well, it's too late. It's getting late, I won't tell you more, my sister should go back to rest earlier."

Qingchen understood, pursed her lips lightly, "Sister, go slowly."
