cold palace escape concubine

Chapter 172 Test Your Heart (Part [-])
The emperor dismissed this as a huge and important task, but it made the queen lose the bargaining chip to continue probing.

Mu Xiyuan had to agree a few times before leaving the imperial study room.

Gui Qing waited outside the imperial study for a while and then saw the master coming out, and hurried up to help the master to leave.

After walking away from the imperial study room for a certain distance, Gui Qing said in a low voice: "Why did the master come out so quickly?"

"The emperor is suspicious of Ben Gong, and Ben Gong doesn't dare to test as much as before." Mu Xiyuan sighed.

Hearing what the master said, Gui Qing was startled.

"But empress, why did the emperor suddenly change so much for the master for no reason?"

"Perhaps it is true as what Qibi said, the emperor has a grudge against the Mu family." Mu Xiyuan also couldn't understand, and after thinking for a while, she said suspiciously.

Seeing that the empress frowned, Gui Qing was also worried about the master.

She pursed her lips and thought for a long time before she asked: "I am thinking, the emperor and Concubine Lian went to Yingxiang Palace the day before Concubine Qi went crazy, did Concubine Qi say something?"

What she said made Mu Xiyuan narrow her eyes suspiciously, only to hear Gui Qing continue to say: "Your Majesty, think about it, if the emperor really has a grudge against the Mu family and the Zhong family, why is it that the concubine Qi still favors you after she restrains her temper?" for her?
It's not that the emperor doesn't understand that the Zhongmu family is as supportive as the lips and teeth. If they are really so guarded, why do they still treat Qi concubine with the same favor as before? "

"Your words have reminded me." Mu Xiyuan raised her eyes and looked into the distance, "It is natural for the emperor to be concerned about the power of the concubines' families, but it is not only our two families that the emperor is concerned about? What's more, now It is not the Mu family that gets the most limelight above the imperial court."

"Yes, what's more, the empress has always been sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. The emperor has no reason to be wary and suspicious of the empress." Gui Qing nodded and analyzed, "Concubine Qi already has a certain weight in the emperor's heart. Otherwise, the emperor will not spare her life."

"No matter how much the emperor favored Concubine Lian, he did not want to kill Concubine Qi because of Concubine Lian." Mu Xiyuan murmured, "If you really look at it this way, this Concubine Qi must have spoken to the Emperor. What!"

Gui Qing became more and more worried when he heard what his master said.If this is the case, then the most difficult step in the harem at this moment will become a queen.

"Your Majesty, if all this is true, aren't we in danger?" Gui Qing asked worriedly.

Mu Xiyuan's dignified expression was gradually replaced by calculating insidiousness, she could only hear her sneering and saying, "Now Concubine Huangui is eyeing her like a tiger, and Concubine Qi is not as powerful as Concubine Qi, but Concubine Qi is not as good as concubine Qi, there is a secret plan by my aunt." , this Yunai will definitely do his best to help."

"Now that Concubine Qi, Li Jieyu, and Lady Sheng are all happy, the favor of Concubine Qi will only be strengthened, while Concubine Huangui has Lady Sheng, the favor of these three pillars will only be strengthened, and I have to make another plan It's gone." Mu Xiyuan said reluctantly: "To solve the current predicament, perhaps there is only one Jun Liuyi who can solve it."

Hearing what the queen said, Gui Qing was a little startled and surprised: "Your Majesty, do you mean to praise Concubine Lian?"

"That's right." Mu Xiyuan nodded affirmatively, "Although the emperor has not been to the Lianyun Palace in the past month, he has really paid attention to Jun Liuyi. The emperor has long intended to give her the concubine position. Taking this opportunity to mention it a little bit, the emperor has already moved his mind, and even softened his attitude towards this palace because of his praise of Jun Liuyi."

"However, if it is true that the emperor is suspicious of the empress because of the concubine Qi, then the concubine Lian must have heard it." Gui Qing reminded, "If this is the case, the concubine Lian can't be used by the empress. .”

Hearing this, Mu Xiyuan laughed instead.

Not understanding why the master could smile at this moment, Gui Qing frowned slightly.

Mu Xiyuan turned her head to look at the puzzled smile on her face and said with a deeper smile: "The emperor has such an attitude towards me, do you think the emperor knows that I have doubts?"

"What your empress said is that the emperor has deep thoughts, and we really shouldn't be fooled."

"So what we thought of, how could the emperor not think of it?" Mu Xiyuan said with a smile, "But if this is the case, I still promote Jun Liuyi fearlessly, which proves that I have a clear conscience."

The queen's words made Gui Qing's eyes widen suddenly: "The empress is still thinking far-reachingly, and the slaves are still short-sighted and only consider one-sided things."

"Everyone thinks like this, so it's your unwiseness." Mu Xiyuan smiled confidently, "Of course no one would want to do it, but this palace understands a truth better. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get cubs."

Gui Qing nodded again and again, and the original melancholy gradually dissipated a lot.

"Just like what the empress said before, no matter how much the noble concubine Lian is promoted, she is alone and helpless. Let alone the position of concubine, even if the position of imperial concubine and imperial concubine is given to her, there is nothing to fear."

"No matter how unruly a woman in the rivers and lakes has no family background, it's nothing more than that." Mu Xiyuan narrowed her eyes slightly, "In this harem, who doesn't plan everything for himself. What Concubine Qi said may be of interest to the emperor. Influence, but both are women, but Bengong understands that Jun Liuyi will only be cautious and guard against Bengong."

"She is not a dull person. After this incident, she naturally understands that the harem's grace is like walking on thin ice. If you don't fight or fight, you will only lose your youth."

Mu Xiyuan walked to the imperial garden and saw that the flowers that used to compete for beauty had long since ceased to exist. She couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "When the flowers in the harem are all in decline, no matter how noble Jun Liuyi is, there will always be one who goes with the same rank. Today, how is it possible to be alone in the harem. I just want to use her to get away, and I can also take this opportunity to choose someone available from next year's show girls."

"Your Majesty is far-sighted, and the slaves can feel at ease." Seeing that the master's thoughts are gradually clear, Gui Qing's hanging heart can be regarded as reassured.

On the other side of the imperial study room, after Mu Xiyuan left, Yu Chishuo came out again.

Sikong Qimo's face was very solemn, and Yuchishuo's face was also not very good-looking.

"Have you heard everything?" Sikong Qi Mo asked in a deep voice.

With a long sigh, Yu Chishuo nodded and replied: "Yes, the grass people have heard it."

"Now that there is a wave of ups and downs, Liu Yi's side will gradually drift away." Sikong Qi Mo's pupils shrank slightly, "Yu Chishuo, please enlighten her well these few days."

"Yes, Cao Min understands." Yu Chishuo couldn't say anything, he could only nod his head.

"In a few days~ you are leaving the palace too, and I will seal you as the right court judge of the Supreme Hospital." Sikong Qi Mo said, "After you come back to take office, you will rectify the bad practices."

Sikong Qi Mo paused for a moment, and then said: "Next year's election for the best girl is coming soon, I want you to go to Yulingmen for me."
