cold palace escape concubine

Chapter 190 Goodbye Viper
"Your majesty, my concubines are in fear." Mu Xiyuan replied under the pressure.

Sikong Qimo laughed when he heard the words: "Queen, what is there to be afraid of? I see that you have been pampered for a long time and you don't know how to balance the harem. The queen does not have only one way to deal with the matter of Concubine Lian, but she chose me. The last thing you want to see."

The emperor's clear questioning made Mu Xiyuan more worried, but no matter what the emperor suspected at this moment, Mu Xiyuan could only stick to one mouth.

With concerns in her heart, Mu Xiyuan replied with a big gift: "If you go back to the emperor, the concubine will really be ashamed of the emperor."

She looked at Sikong Qi Mo and said: "Concubine Lian's matter is always easy to cause my concubine to think more. Today all the concubines are here, and Concubine Lian's pulse was diagnosed by Concubine Lian. Under the eyes of everyone, both of them are suffering from the loss of their son. The accusations are all made against Concubine Huan, and Concubine Lian also mentioned the matter of Gu poison, combined with the fact that the imperial physician usually regards the image of the lucky concubine as stable, it is reasonable to say this."

Mu Xiyuan carefully looked at Sikong Qimo's reaction, and saw that he didn't scold herself, so she continued: "If the concubine doesn't make a decisive judgment, I'm afraid Concubine Huan will also accuse Concubine Lian of planting and framing her. How much can you save?"

"But you have to understand that Concubine Huan can't move at this moment." Sikong Qi Mo's face was still grim, but the oppressive atmosphere just now gradually disappeared from his tone.

"The concubine understands that General Xie is about to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy at this moment, if he touches Concubine Huan, it will definitely cause him to worry."

Mu Xiyuan frowned and endured the pain in her knees and replied, "Concubine Huan's current temperament must be relentless. Concubine Lian's mental state has improved a lot just now. If this matter hurts her again, it may affect her body. In contrast, Concubine Huan is only grounded, General Xie is loyal and will not slack off military affairs because of this, if the Emperor feels that Concubine Huan has been wronged, he can naturally appease him."

Seeing that the queen was kneeling hard enough, Sikong Qi Mo waved his hand: "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mu Xiyuan was still as respectful as before, and after she bent down again to salute, she got up staggeringly, because the floor was too cold in winter, and she had been kneeling for a long time, so the soles of her feet were naturally numb. came.

Gui Qing hastened to support his master with all his strength, fearing that the master would accidentally lose his dignity in front of the king.

The queen has always been pampered, so what it feels like to kneel for so long in such a cold weather Sikong Qi Mo naturally knows, but he also knows in his heart that the women in the harem have their own calculations. Jun Liuyi, but in fact, he is still calculating his own interests.

If it wasn't for Concubine Huan's impact on her position, I'm afraid that Liu Yi's questioning Concubine Huan would naturally lead to other results.

Without Concubine Huan to restrain the harem, naturally Liu Yicai would be the first to bear the brunt.

Because he understood, Sikong Qimo intentionally punished him with minor punishments and gave him major punishments.

"What does the queen think about this matter?" Sikong Qi Mo didn't ask her to sit down, but just sat and looked at the queen like this.

"If you go back to the emperor, the concubine will see that Concubine Lian will not let it go. This matter needs to be thoroughly investigated, but the result of the investigation should be prepared with both hands." Mu Xiyuan used words carefully.

Hearing this, Sikong Qi Mo just nodded: "Well, the matter of the emperor's heir is not a trivial matter."

"The concubine also thinks the same way. Now that Concubine Xingui and Concubine Qi are pregnant, it is easy to think wildly during pregnancy, not to mention that such a change in Concubine Lian and Concubine Fu will make them sleepless. The result of this treatment It must be there." Mu Xiyuan originally knelt for a long time, although it is better to stand now, but the soreness of her knees also affected her muscles and bones as she stood upright.

Obviously uncomfortable but had to pretend that An Ran really wanted the Queen to break out in a cold sweat.

It's just that the emperor turned a blind eye and thought about the things he cared about. Qi Mo looked at him coldly and asked, "How should we deal with the empress's opinion?"

"If the emperor trusts the concubine, please leave it to the concubine to investigate!" Mu Xiyuan took the initiative to take over the matter, "The emperor on the side of Concubine Huan can go to the Lianyun Palace to appease Concubine Lian before visiting, so that Concubine Lian The mood can be calmed down, but it seems to outsiders that the emperor still has trust and care for Hechuan Palace after seeing Concubine Lian."

"Cure the symptoms, not the root cause." Sikong Qi Mo snorted coldly.

"If the emperor wants to cure the root cause, he still needs to wait for his concubine to find out everything before making a long-term plan."

"Why do I have some concerns when I hear what the queen means?"

"The emperor and his concubines all know that although the situation of Concubine Lianyun has never been mentioned up and down in the Lianyun Palace, they have guessed why the divine doctor was needed to enter the palace for treatment. After the divine doctor entered the palace, Concubine Lian still couldn't keep the child. Another concubine lost her son, if it is a coincidence, no one in the harem will believe it." Mu Xiyuan sighed, "The emperor also knows that raising a tiger will definitely hurt the root, and the concubines also know the harem's status. The concubines are all inextricably linked to the imperial court, except Concubine Lian, everyone else needs to be taken into account, but there are certain bottom lines that cannot be tolerated."

The queen stopped a little afraid to speak, and then Sikong Qi Mo said in a deep voice: "Speak."

"Yes." The queen nodded, "If the emperor tolerates the crime of poisoning the emperor's heir for the time being, it proves that the current use value of this person is far higher than what the emperor can tolerate. A cancer in her heart, a person like this can only accumulate her sins and wait for the opportunity."

What the queen said made Sikong Qi Mo nod his head in relief, his tone became less indifferent: "I am very pleased that the queen can understand this level."

He paused before continuing: "If Concubine Huan's father can be as clear-cut as the prime minister, it's not like that. But it's no wonder, what kind of person naturally has what kind of children, and the same is true for the children educated by the prime minister impartially and selflessly." .”

"Recently, I really have a lot of headaches because of the former dynasty and the harem. You are my queen, and I have naturally been stricter with you." Sikong Qi Mo got up and approached the queen, and patted her hand soothingly, "Just Do as you wish, I will go and see Fubi."

"Yes, the concubine is resigning." Mu Xiyuan bowed her knees, watched the emperor leave, and then took Gui Qing away.

Seeing that his master was having trouble walking, Gui Qing was about to call for a sedan chair, but was stopped by the queen.

"Accompany me to the Lotus Cloud Palace for a walk."

"But the lady's knee..."

"This pain is a lesson. Only through this pain can I be alert to myself in times of danger." The queen smiled wryly, and walked in the snow with Gui Qing's hand.

The master and servant walked for a long time, and when they were approaching the Lotus Cloud Palace, they suddenly saw a few poisonous snakes rushing in.

"Where did the snake come from in this cold weather?" Mu Xiyuan hurriedly said, "Go and help."
