Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife

Chapter 265
"Oh?" Yi Bai's question contained a hint of sarcasm, "What can I do for the old lady?"

The alienation in the tone became more and more obvious.

Mrs. Tai was very upset, but the matter of Concubine Wan was imminent, and she had to open her mouth, "Concubine Wan has been poisoned, and the whole imperial hospital is helpless. I want you to tell her what kind of poison she has."

Yi Bai laughed lightly, "Why does the old lady think that the entire Tai Hospital is helpless?"

"This..." Mrs. Tai frowned, she said it very clearly when she was in the palace, and it came from the Queen's mouth, could it be a fake?

"You don't think about it, is it the poison on Concubine Wan who is helpless in the Tai Hospital, or is it a certain powerful figure?"

As soon as these words came out, Madam Tai immediately turned pale with fright, and hurriedly glanced around to make sure that there was no one here, so she was relieved, and then stared at Yi Bai, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Am I talking nonsense? The old lady has a mirror in her heart. You can see it when you look at it. Why deceive yourself?"

This time, old lady Tai's face lost even a bit of blood, but her eyes turned red urgently, "Ah Bai, this is something that lost your head, how can you just talk nonsense?"

Yi Bai snorted lightly, "He's already died once, so why be afraid of losing his head?"

Old Madam Tai came as soon as she saw him open her mouth. She didn't even have the slightest shyness, and she even looked a little leisurely. She tried her best to restrain her emotions, "Then give me a correct sentence, can you help me?"

"It's not that I don't want to help you, but that what you are going to do is extremely risky, which is equivalent to putting the entire Tai family on the fire. Has the old lady carefully considered the consequences?"

He returned exactly what Mrs. Tai said to him yesterday, which made Mrs. Tai's face turn green and white, flickering.

If Mrs. Tai can't sniff out some clues from Yi Bai's words, then she is not worthy to continue to sit in such an important position as the family's aunt in the future, but if she smells it, it is a human life , you can't just watch it disappear like this? "Is there really no other way?"

"Of course you can save her." Yi Bai raised his chin, looked in the direction of the imperial city, and said quietly: "Anyway, Emperor Xuanzong and Empress Dowager Zhu, your Tai family will offend one of them anyway, you decide who you want to offend, if you think about it If you want to save Concubine Wan, then maybe I can do my best." The implication is that if you want to offend Empress Dowager Zhu, you can just save Concubine Wan, and once you save Concubine Wan, your Tai family will choose the camp by default. Empress Dowager Zhu is an enemy, that is to say, I am in the same boat as me.

Madam Tai's complexion changed again and again.

For a long time, the Tai family has always followed the orders of Emperor Xuanzong. After all, this is the person in power. What he asked the Tai family to do. A fierce tiger waiting for an opportunity to move at any time, and this fierce tiger is none other than his biological mother, Empress Dowager Zhu.

It’s no wonder that some time ago, the uncle of the Tai family who was an official in the court accidentally mentioned that the queen mother seemed to be very dissatisfied with the Tai family. Something went wrong, but the Tai family chose the wrong camp, which became the biggest obstacle to the Empress Dowager's ambitions. She wanted to get rid of it, so she cut off a big backer of the Tai family first from the harem.

"How is it, old lady, have you made up your mind?" Yi Bai asked: "Is your family planning to protect Concubine Wan and offend someone in the dark, or are you planning to abandon her to protect yourself?"

Self-preservation?Mrs. Tai sneered, Concubine Wan was able to win the "emperor's favor" entirely because of the Tai family behind her, otherwise, no one would have known that Emperor Xuanzong only favored Concubine Qin, and once Concubine Wan died, the Tai family and the royal family would lose their marriage completely This relationship is unpredictable. Maybe Emperor Xuanzong will strike while the iron is hot and pick a girl from the Tai family to fill in the vacancy and continue to maintain the relationship, or maybe he will destroy the entire Tai family in a fit of anger. All in all, this is all It's a matter of one sentence.

But for the Tai family, this is a difficult choice. Whether to protect or not will offend one of the mother and son, Empress Dowager Zhu and Emperor Xuanzong. "I have no control over this matter. I have to go back and discuss it."

"I heard that Concubine Wan is seriously ill. The old lady has to hold on tightly, otherwise when she closes her eyes, even if you have any ideas, it won't help. If you think clearly, come to the front house Teahouse, I will show up to see you."

Old Madam Tai wanted to vomit blood, so she returned to the carriage with a pale face, and the personal nurse asked her something, but she didn't listen, her mind was in a mess.

Yi Bai stood at the entrance of the alley, and didn't leave until he watched the carriage of Tai's family leave him.

When Mrs. Tai returned to the mansion, she was invited to the meeting hall when the masters came to the office.

Seeing the solemn expression on the old lady's face, the sons looked at each other and no one dared to speak first, they waited quietly.

Mrs. Tai stroked her chest, trying to calm down, but even so, it was difficult to hide the fact that she was so angry that her liver hurt.

"I came to you today because I want to ask your brothers for their opinions on something."

"Mother, tell me." The eldest son was respectful.

"I went to the palace to see Concubine Wan earlier, and the situation is not very good."

The complexions of the masters all changed, "Why, don't the imperial physicians do the same?"

The imperial physician was quite different, but helplessly suppressed by power, Mrs. Tai closed her eyes, "The life and death of Concubine Wan determines the status of the Tai family in the court in the future. Let's talk about whether you should save her or not." Empress?"

The third son looked puzzled, "Mother, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? Your mother is sick, and she should be saved. Is it possible that we can still watch her have something to do?"

The third son has a simple mind, and Mrs. Tai didn't expect to hear any crucial words from him. Instead, she looked at the elder son. The elder son has always been a calm person. Maybe you can't hear it, so I think I can give her some advice.

"Mother, this matter is no small matter." The eldest son did sense something, and his face was even more serious than his old mother's, "You entered the palace this time, but what did you hear?"

"That's right." Mrs. Tai nodded, "It is precisely because I heard the wind that I hurried back to discuss with your brothers."

The mother and son spoke as if they were playing a charade, which confused the others, who were completely at a loss for what to say.

The eldest son's face sank again and again, "I thought it was my intuition that was wrong, but I didn't expect it to be true." The queen mother and the emperor are separated, and the one she dislikes the most right now is the Tai family.

Mrs. Tai looked at Da'er with satisfaction, and sure enough, she was older to make people feel relieved, "Then tell me, should you save or not?"

Da'er didn't answer immediately, or rather, he was embarrassed.

It stands to reason that since ancient times, the harem has not been allowed to interfere in politics. Even if the queen mother has such shameful ambitions, she will not be able to play for a long time, because the world does not allow it, the law does not allow it, and civil and military officials do not allow it. Anyone who has dealt with the Queen Mother will have an idea-compared with the Queen Mother Zhu, Emperor Xuanzong is as weak as a little white rabbit.

On the bright side, it is only natural for Emperor Xuanzong to take power, and the Tai family should also stick to their camp and be a royalist faction. But think about it, keeping Concubine Wan would completely offend Empress Dowager Zhu.

The consequences of offending Emperor Xuanzong and the Empress Dowager are definitely two completely different endings.

Before Princess Qixia got married last time, there were a few dandies from aristocratic families who said something wrong when they were having a good time outside, which caused the whole family to be severely punished. Even now, those aristocratic families can't figure it out In whose hands did he fall, but he could see very clearly that the person behind the attack was Queen Mother Zhu. He couldn't understand what rank Queen Mother Zhu was in terms of calculating and dealing with people, "Why don't we think Is there a way to hold Concubine Wan down, neither let her get better, nor let her die like this?"

Old Madam Tai narrowed her eyes, as if that was the only way to go. Although doing so offended people on both sides, but Concubine Wan was half dead, the emperor could not continue to favor her, and the Queen Mother would not keep staring at a concubine who fell out of favor.

And the Tai family can also take this opportunity to reduce their previous vigor.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Tai suddenly remembered the original intention of her ancestors to hide from the world. During the Emperor Taizu's time, the Tai family was a big family, but because they were implicated in the fight for the succession, the ancestors had to retreat ruthlessly in order to protect themselves, so When it came to Mrs. Tai's previous generation, the Tai family remained unknown until Lu Qingwan appeared.

Speaking of it, the Tai family was able to enter the world, all thanks to that woman. She didn't know the truth before, and Mrs. Tai always thought that the descendants of the Tai family were so outstanding that they were favored by the late emperor. After learning the truth from Yi Bai, she realized that it was not, the reason why the late emperor The reuse of the Tai family was entirely out of wanting to hold the Tai family tightly in his hands to control certain things, but the late emperor never expected that the rapid development of the Tai family completely exceeded his imagination, so that later There is no way to control the Tai family.

After making up her mind to hold Concubine Wan down and not let her die, Mrs. Tai went to the teahouse that Yi Bai mentioned the next day. It was wearing a veiled cap.

The old lady got straight to the point, "I've made it clear that if I don't let her die, I won't completely save her."

Yi Bai immediately reacted, "So, you plan to hang on to her?"

"That's the only way to go." Madam Tai sighed, "It's a crime to save, and it's a crime not to save, so we simply adopt the most conservative method."

"It seems that the old lady has really thought about it seriously, but why should I help you?" Yi Bai twirled his fingertips on the rim of the cup with a very casual tone.

"You!" Mrs. Tai was so angry that her liver ached. She didn't expect that the person who looked weak in the past turned out to be an untouchable scumbag when he showed his true face, but now he was under the control of others and had to beg him. "Ah Bai, I know You are unhappy in your heart, but you should also understand my difficulties, I want to avenge my daughter's revenge more than anyone else, but I am the mistress of the Tai family, every action and even every word and deed is related to the life and death of the entire Tai family. , in my position, I have to consider the family, and I can't go my own way, otherwise, not only will I not be able to get my daughter's life back, but I will also implicate other members of the clan and die innocently, I say this, you understand, right?"

Yi Bai pondered for a moment, "The old lady made a lot of sense. Being in your position is for the consideration of the family, then, being in my position is for my own consideration. I should have died a long time ago. It is very dangerous to be exposed, there is no need to take such a big risk for your family, for me, life is more important than anything else."

"Ah Bai!" Mrs. Tai became very angry, and her face became more and more ugly, "Do you have to speak to grandma in such a tone?"

"I'm not from the Yi family, let alone Tai Zhiyun's son, you don't want to marry me at this time." Yi Bai was very blunt, he may not have handled many interpersonal relationships so satisfactorily, but there is a reason he understands Yes, treat the other body with the way of the other.Besides, he doesn't have much affection for Mrs. Tai.

In the final analysis, the two people can sit in the teahouse and talk so calmly nowadays, but they are using each other under the guise of relatives. The Tai family wants to keep Concubine Wan, but they dare not offend the Queen Mother openly, so I want to ask him to come forward to help remove half of the poison on Concubine Wan's body, resulting in a lingering situation, and the only value of Concubine Wan's remaining use is this last breath, which can dispel the Queen Mother's idea of ​​fighting to kill Concubine Wan, It can also tighten the line between the Tai family and the royal family so that it will not be broken easily.

If you want to say cruel, if you want to say ruthless, compared to Tai's family, Yi Bai thinks he is a kind person.

The veins on Madam Tai's forehead were throbbing. At this time, she would not care that the person opposite her was her grandson in name. She just wanted to find a way to detoxify Concubine Wan earlier. The old man's words are unbelievable, so the only person she can find now is Yi Bai.

"You make a condition." At this point, I have to bow my head, and Mrs. Tai is also flexible.

"It's very simple, I can help you heal Concubine Wan and make her no different from before."

Old Madam Tai shook her head, "No, won't you offend the Queen Mother in this way?"

"Then do you want Concubine Wan to die?"

Madam Tai still shook her head, "I want her to be half dead."

"Stubbornness!" Yi Bai sneered, "It's a matter of course, old madam, you want to have both ways, but in my opinion, your behavior is very stupid, and you are undoubtedly planting the seeds of disaster for the Tai family. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. If one party completely loses and withdraws from this game, either, the queen mother let go and does not care about political affairs for the rest of her life, or the emperor becomes a puppet and the queen mother listens to politics behind the curtain. Home in Beiyan can still have a foothold?"

It's not that Mrs. Tai doesn't understand this truth, but she agrees more with Da'er's words—it seems that Emperor Xuanzong is in power now, but in fact, there is a lurking Queen Mother Zhu behind Emperor Xuanzong. They can't escape the eyeliner of Empress Dowager Zhu. If they use Concubine Wan to make a fuss at this time and switch from the former royalist faction to the neutral faction, no matter who wins in the future, the Tai family will still have a chance of survival. If you choose a camp, then if your side loses in the future, the Tai family will have to follow suit.

"Emperor Xuanzong has been on the side of the Tai family from the very beginning, do you think that even if you change to neutral, the queen mother can let the Tai family go?" Yi Bai knew exactly what old lady Tai was planning.

"Then what do you think?" Mrs. Tai also had no idea at all. What Yi Bai said was not unreasonable. The Tai family had always been the most powerful sword in the hands of Emperor Xuanzong, but now they are suddenly neutral. I don't believe anyone's suspicious nature at all, and it's no wonder that I don't doubt it. Then, instead of wavering tremblingly in the neutral faction, the Tai family might as well take a gamble with courage.

"I bet Emperor Xuanzong wins this game of chess." Yi Bai made a gesture on the table with his cup.

Mrs. Tai showed hesitation, "But..." The Empress Dowager is obviously much stronger than Emperor Xuanzong, and with the suppression of "filial piety is greater than the sky", Emperor Xuanzong can't touch Empress Dowager Zhu at all, what can he use to win?
"Since ancient times, there has been no reason for a woman to be in power." Yi Bai said: "Even if she has superpowers and abilities, if she is not in line with the etiquette and law, it is a big rebellion. Even if she is the emperor's biological mother, she must be dealt with according to the law. On this point, Emperor Xuanzong This legal inheritor of the Ye family has an absolute advantage, and the Empress Dowager Zhu has not dared to make too obvious actions. Obviously, she is also afraid of etiquette. The officer obediently shuts up and watches how she listens to politics behind a curtain, the old lady can think about it carefully, in the current situation, how many dare to stand up and agree with the queen mother to listen to politics behind a curtain and even hold the power?"

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how weak Emperor Xuanzong is, he still exists with the status and authority of an emperor. What is the difference between standing up for Empress Dowager Zhu in power at this time and rebelling against him?It can't be said that Emperor Xuanzong still kept his back tricks to deal with the first ones. The Tai family can't be defeated by this.

Yi Bai continued to analyze, "About Empress Dowager Zhu, anyone who has made a name for herself in the court can perceive it, but they all pretend to be stupid and dare not point it out. Then someone needs to take the lead at this time. Taking advantage of Empress Dowager Zhu's ambition, and cutting it off, there is no doubt that the Tai family is the most suitable leader, because your family has the greatest influence in the court."

Old Madam Tai was silent, how could she fail to understand Yi Bai's detours for a long time, it was nothing more than Yi Bai's way to heal Concubine Wan, then in this way, the Tai family would be tantamount to directly declaring war on the Queen Mother.

Her mind was in a mess, sometimes it was the words of the elder brother yesterday, and sometimes it was the future lifeline of the Tai family, all kinds of chaos made her brain ache.

Yi Bai was not in a hurry, he drank tea quietly to see what she had to say, anyway, he was sure that in the end the old lady would definitely choose Emperor Xuanzong.

Madam Tai also thought so, Emperor Xuanzong is the true son of heaven, the authentic inheritor of the Ye family, it is safer to stand with him, but she is still a little worried, "Ah Bai, have you deduced the astrolabe in advance? "

The national teacher knows astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom, and his forte is to watch the astrology and promote the country's fortune.

Yi Bai didn't say a word, which was the default.

Madam Tai's heart was shocked, "Then can you tell me, what did you come up with?"

"The heavenly secret must not be leaked." Yi Bai said casually.

It's not that he is pretending to be mysterious, but that he has never deduced it at all. Others don't know it, and they think that deducing the astrolabe can be concluded by just looking up at the head. In fact, it is not so simple, deducing the astrolabe is very laborious. It's mentally exhausting, his current body can't bear to do an extremely brain-intensive thing, and Yi Bai doesn't want to usurp the throne, even if he looks at the astrolabe, it won't help. What he wants to do is to drive the couple apart. Mother and son, let Emperor Xuanzong lose the hearts of the people, and expose the ambition of Empress Dowager Zhu to the people for the people to scold.

"However, I can assure you that it is right for the Tai family to side with Emperor Xuanzong." He added.

It can be said that the national teacher's words in this regard are reassuring pills. The impetuousness that Mrs. Tai had been full of before retreated, and the whole person relaxed a lot, and she was determined, "Okay, the Tai family will stand in line with the emperor."

After making a full set of the play, Yi Bai then asked Mrs. Tai about Concubine Wan's symptoms, and finally asked the waiter in the teahouse to fetch a pen and paper to write down the antidote prescription.

After taking the prescription, Mrs. Tai left, and there was no sign of happiness or anger on her old face.

-

With Yi Bai's prescription, Concubine Wan miraculously came back to life under the eyes of the Empress Dowager. Empress Dowager Zhu was so angry that she threw things down, "Send it to the envoy of the Empress Dowager Hospital!"

She would like to ask who gave the guts to those people in the Imperial Hospital to cure Concubine Wan!

The Imperial Hospital had already received good news from Concubine Wan, and everyone was so anxious that their backs were sweating coldly. Before they could come up with a perfect plan, someone from the Empress Dowager's side came.

The envoy of Zhao Yuan of the imperial hospital tremblingly followed the palace people to Shou'an Palace, and greeted the Queen Mother tremblingly.

Empress Dowager Zhu smiled ferociously, "Doctor Zhao, you have ignored the words of Aijia, have you?"

The envoy of Courtyard Zhao immediately said: "Your Majesty, you know, no one in the Imperial Hospital has prescribed a prescription for Concubine Wan."

"Then she recovered by herself when she became more capable?" Empress Dowager Zhu's eyes were full of sarcasm, and her voice was frozen with a layer of ice.

"If you go back to the Empress Dowager, it has nothing to do with the Tai Hospital. The old minister heard that the old lady of the Tai family invited a doctor to prescribe the prescription. After Concubine Wan took it, she miraculously recovered."

Empress Dowager Zhu's face darkened, "Madam Tai?"

"Yes."

Empress Dowager Zhu held the teacup tightly, as if she wanted to crush it into pieces with her bare hands, "Well, well, the Tai family is really good, and they did not disappoint the Ai family."

The praise of "good luck" was so meaningful, and the envoy Zhao couldn't stop trembling. Many times, they didn't want to get involved in the open and secret fights between the masters, but the Imperial Hospital is the "sharp weapon" for the masters in the palace to fight. ", even if he wanted to keep himself clean, he would inevitably be forcibly dragged into the water by those caring people.

The masters are powerful and powerful, so they like to spend money to make ghosts grind the millstones, and there are many "little ghosts" who are greedy for fame and profit in such a big hospital, and they will do things for others after collecting money, and they are all wicked As for the matter, Court Envoy Zhao has been blamed for this, which shows how difficult it is for him to survive until now. This time, the Empress Dowager sent someone to say hello to Concubine Wan this time—whoever Whoever dares to save Concubine Wan will die in Concubine Wan's place.

His lofty posture and wild tone made all the doctors in the imperial hospital tremble, so no matter how the Tai family pressed him, he would bite him to death and find out.

Fortunately, he has people staring at Concubine Wan every day, so he knows that the medicine Concubine Wan is drinking is a prescription brought by Mrs. Tai privately. unclear.

After the envoy Zhao was driven away, Empress Dowager Zhu rubbed her head with a headache, and the maid in charge came in from outside to serve her ginseng tea, and asked with concern: "The empress dowager has a headache again, my servant will rub it for you."

Empress Dowager Zhu didn't object at all, she didn't say anything until the nanny in charge walked around behind her and began to rub gently, "You said this Concubine Wan, how can she get better?"

After staying in Shou'an Palace for a long time, these waiters will more or less see something tricky, especially some ulterior ambitions of the Queen Mother, so the smart ones choose to be ostriches.

"That's Concubine Wan, who is an auspicious person and has her own natural appearance." The nurse in charge replied.

Empress Dowager Zhu frowned almost imperceptibly. Nanny Min was newly promoted after Nanny Jiang married and went to Nanliang. Empress Dowager Zhu just felt that she was honest and reliable. As for other things that should not be said, she never revealed a word to her , so this nanny in charge is not like Nanny Jiang who can give advice to Queen Mother Zhu or even openly refute Queen Mother Zhu's decision.

Thinking of Mother Jiang, she thought of her unworthy daughter, the number one beauty in Beiyan, the emperor's own sister, what kind of excellent husband and son-in-law did she want, but she rushed to make a kiss, even though the Empress Dowager Zhu was tough The means to seal the mouths of those people who are doing good things outside, but I still can't help but think that if I am so eager to marry, I probably have something in my stomach. Why is she panicking?
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Zhu couldn't help beating her chest and stamping her feet. In the end, a person with such a high vision actually chose Nanliang Xianwang, who is so incompetent. , How could that rebellious girl give her body to someone at a young age? Isn't that self-deprecating?
It's fine for the son to argue with her all day because of an old woman, but the daughter does such shameful things behind her back. Do these two brothers and sisters have to piss her off to death before they give up?
At this moment, Ye Yun dug a hole for himself in Nanliang and jumped into it. Empress Dowager Zhu didn't know about it. If she knew that Ye Yun had been poisoned by that kind of poison, she would definitely take it easy.

Seeing that the Queen Mother's complexion didn't improve, but also became more and more ugly, Sister Min was startled immediately, and knelt on the ground as fast as she could, "Empress Dowager, did this servant hurt you?"

"It's none of your business, go down!" Empress Dowager Zhu waved her hand.

"Yes." Nanny Min didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she backed away.

After people walked away, Empress Dowager Zhu got up and walked out of the palace gate, and ordered the chief eunuch of Shou'an Palace, "Place yourself in Mingse Palace."

This is going to see Concubine Wan. Eunuch Shen didn't dare to ask more questions, so he prepared as soon as he told him to, and led a group of people to Mingse Hall in a mighty manner.

When Concubine Wan heard the singing, she was about to stand up and go out to greet her, when the Empress Dowager stepped into the inner hall with one foot, she came very quickly.

Concubine Wan turned pale with shock, she fell off the couch and knelt down on the ground, not daring to vent her anger, "My concubine pays her respects to the Empress Dowager."

Although Mrs. Tai didn't say anything to Concubine Wan, she has not been in this palace for a year or two. She doesn't understand that the Queen Mother doesn't want to see her. Coupled with people's natural awe of the superior, after all, Concubine Wan is very afraid of Queen Mother Zhu.

"Since it's not complete, why kneel? Get up and let the Ai family take a good look at what it's been like." The queen mother bent down, and the sharp armor poked on Concubine Wan's chin, and then moved down. , directly lifted her chin up.

Concubine Wan didn't dare to look at Empress Dowager Zhu at all, her eyes dodged because of panic.

Seeing her frightened little white rabbit, Empress Dowager Zhu sneered, what are you pretending for?Anyway, no matter how innocent she pretends to be, it won't make her feel any pity, on the contrary, it will make her even more disgusted.

After getting up, Concubine Wan still lowered her head, because she didn't know that the queen mother was coming, her body was hot, her clothes were thinner, and her makeup was not done. In the eyes of the palace eunuchs who came from Shou'an Palace, That is, untidy grooming, messy clothes, and no rules.

Concubine Wan felt wronged in her heart, why no one told her in advance that the Queen Mother was coming?

What Empress Dowager Zhu wants is to catch her off guard, and she will be notified in advance.

"Is it the old lady of the Tai family who came to see you in the palace these two days?" The queen mother had already sat down, gently rubbing the jade wrench in her hand.

"Yes." The palace maid next to Concubine Wan immediately found a thin coat to put on for her.

Empress Dowager Zhu glanced at her casually, "It seems that the emperor treats your Tai family well, the old lady has the power to enter the palace as soon as she wants."

Concubine Wan's face turned pale, "The old lady greeted the emperor before she came." The implication is that the fault is not with old lady Tai, if you want to find it, you have to go to the emperor.

Empress Dowager Zhu's face darkened, and Concubine Wan was startled, not knowing what to say.

When you hate someone, even if the other person is perfect, you can find faults. Isn’t that the case with Empress Dowager Zhu? Concubine Wan glanced, "If you're not feeling well, just take a rest. You shouldn't care about it, you shouldn't worry about it. You'd better not force yourself, it won't do you any good."

Concubine Wan naturally understood what the Empress Dowager was talking about. In the entire Northern Yan harem, except for Concubine Qin, she was the most favored, and the emperor really favored Concubine Qin. For her, it was all a trick for the Tai family. She is not the daughter of the Tai family, and the emperor Baoqi would not even look at her.

Concubine Wan, like other concubines, longs to be favored by the emperor, but she is different from other concubines. Because of her mother's relationship, Emperor Xuanzong really "dotes on" her, but Empress Dowager Zhu regards her as a A thorn in the side, the pressure from the queen mother is naturally something she can't bear, so comparing the two sides, she hopes that the emperor will stop putting those "favors" that are forced out on her, and let her be a quiet palace concubine. Just finish the rest of your life.

"Yes, the concubine understands." These words came from the heart, anyway, the emperor's thoughts are not on her, why bother to come here every time to make a show, he forced himself to be like this, she couldn't bear to see it.

On the way back to the palace, Empress Dowager Zhu saw the maids of the Yilan Palace hurriedly carrying a package and walking outside. If someone with a sensitive nose could smell it, the package was full of bloody smell.

Empress Dowager Zhu winked at Nanny Min, and Nanny Min understood, and quickly caught up with the palace maid and carried her over.

The queen mother sat on the imperial chariot, gently opened the curtain, and looked down at her, "What are you holding in your hand?"

The court lady never expected to meet the Empress Dowager Luanjia by such a coincidence, she was so startled that she was silent, but couldn't stop trembling.

Empress Dowager Zhu didn't have much patience, so she directly signaled Nanny Min to open it, and suddenly a strong and pungent smell of blood came to her nostrils, and the Empress Dowager's stomach was overwhelmed, and she almost couldn't hold back her vomiting.

"What's inside?" Even if she didn't vomit, her face was quite ugly, and Empress Dowager Zhu sternly shouted.

Nanny Min covered her nose, picked up a branch and pulled it twice, stood up and replied, "Empress Dowager, it's a cat."

"Dead cat?" Empress Dowager Zhu narrowed her eyes.

"Yes." Nanny Min reported truthfully, "It looks like he was slaughtered by someone, the method was quite cruel, blood came from the seven orifices, and all the bones were broken."

Empress Dowager Zhu is very fond of cats. In the Shou'an Palace, there is a snow dragging gun. Its fur is pure white, except for a little black on the tip of its tail. It was given to her by Ye Yun, the eldest princess of Qixia. birthday gift.

When he heard it, he was furious, "Who killed it?"

The palace maid shook her hands and feet, not daring to speak.

"Don't say it? Aijia will kill you like this cat!"

The palace maid's face changed greatly in fright, and she hurriedly begged for mercy, "The empress dowager, please forgive me, the servant said, the servant said, it is... the noble concubine of the Yilan Palace."

"Qin Concubine?" Empress Dowager Zhu said with gnashing of teeth, "Why did she kill the cat?"

The palace girl was afraid that the empress dowager would be angry, so she didn't dare to hide it, "Earlier, this cat scratched the moonlight silk clothes that the empress dowager loved, and the empress was so angry..."

"So what?"

"I strangled the cat to death. It seemed that I was still angry, and then I found a dagger and cut the cat's body open..."

"Enough!" The Empress Dowager's chest heaved sharply, the anger on her face made her look hideous and terrifying, and she ordered Nanny Min, "Show the Palace of Yilan." She wants to see, this villainous Concubine Qin How dare you dare to do whatever you want in this harem? It's just a piece of clothing. It's understandable that you want to kill the culprit cat, but in such a cruel way, are you killing the cat or borrowing it to vent your anger?
The master of Yilan Palace and that of Mingse Palace are obviously two extremes. The person of Mingse Palace has to weigh a word for a long time. When he sees the Queen Mother, he trembles with fright, while the person of Yilan Palace, Her face was so big that she sent someone out to tell the Queen Mother that she had just taken a nap and had no time to get her groomed up, so she asked the Queen Mother to take care of her. To put it bluntly, she asked the Queen Mother to wait outside.

Nanny Min was furious, "Presumptuous, how can there be any reason to let the queen mother wait for the concubine?"

The maid who delivered the message gave a "shh", "The emperor is also inside, just fell asleep at the moment."

After hearing this, they all understood what was going on, it must be that these two people were shameless in the daytime and closed the door to do that thing, at the end, when the queen mother came over, Qin Guifei had no face to come out to see the queen mother, so she had to clean up first.

Well, anyway, I'm used to Concubine Qin's shamelessness, so Empress Dowager Zhu simply made an exception and sat outside to wait.

Unexpectedly, this wait was half an hour. When Qin Guifei came out, she had obviously been cleaned and replaced from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom. Suspicious crimson, looks very moisturized.

Before Qin Guifei said anything, Empress Dowager Zhu yelled, "Kneel down!"

Concubine Qin Gui was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't say much, and when the servant girl brought the brocade mat, she slowly knelt down on it.

Empress Dowager Zhu immediately gave Nanny Min a wink, and Nanny Min walked down and pulled up the brocade mat unceremoniously. Concubine Qin was caught off guard and fell to the ground without any special reaction on her face, but people just followed and stood up. up.

"The Ai family asked you to kneel, how dare you resist the order?" Empress Dowager Zhu was so angry that her face was livid.

Concubine Qin smiled sweetly, "Empress Dowager, the emperor just praised my concubine's legs. These legs are white, tender, long and straight. They must not be damaged in the slightest, otherwise it will destroy the beauty. I am the emperor's woman, so naturally I want to be a little more beautiful." According to what the emperor said, the floor is cold, cold, and hard, if I kneel down, how can I explain to the emperor?"

Before the words were finished, the women who came with Shouan Palace blushed and spat silently in their hearts. I have never seen such a contemptuous woman who dared to talk about her private affairs with the emperor. Bring it to the Queen Mother to show off?It is said that she has a big face, but she doesn't even have a face.

"whore!"

Empress Dowager Zhu couldn't help yelling.

Concubine Qin didn't care, and her smile became sweeter, "If the Queen Mother thinks that the concubine is a prostitute, then so be it!"

How could the Empress Dowager Zhu fail to understand what these words were metaphorically speaking——Qin Guifei is a prostitute, so what is her son Emperor Xuanzong?
Empress Dowager Zhu felt that she must have lost her mind to come here to seek guilt. She knew that Emperor Xuanzong loved this woman like a baby, but she was helpless as a mother.Look, this woman is 15 years older than her son, and she is not much different from her, but because of proper maintenance, she does not look old at all, but she is mature and charming, no wonder she is fascinated by her son reverse.

If this continues, Beiyan's country will be ruined by this little whore sooner or later.

Silently swallowing a mouthful of old blood, Empress Dowager Zhu asked again: "Since the emperor is here, why doesn't he come out to pick him up?"

Concubine Qin said without hesitation: "Before the empress dowager came, the emperor was overworked and exhausted, so he fell asleep."

"Ah bah!" Empress Dowager Zhu frowned, stood up and pointed at her angrily, "Mr. Qin, where's your face?"

Concubine Qin looked at Empress Dowager Zhu with a smile in her eyes, she didn't seem to be intimidated by the Empress Dowager's majesty at all, "What I said is the truth, if the Empress Dowager doesn't believe it, you can go to the inner hall to see it."

Empress Dowager Zhu almost collapsed, her body was shaking with anger, her face was so livid that she couldn't look at it.

Therefore, it is quite accurate to say that one thing is one thing. No one in the entire harem knows what kind of temperament Empress Dowager Zhu is. Even Queen Lin served her respectfully and carefully when she saw her. Not to mention other concubines, you can tell from Concubine Wan, but among so many women, there is one exception, Concubine Qin, she is the first one who dares to talk back to the Queen Mother and even make the Queen Mother angry The concubine who survived the pain and vomited blood safely relied on the lawless favor of Emperor Xuanzong, and this person didn't know how to restrain herself at all. The more Emperor Xuanzong favored her, the more indulgent she was. It was not once or twice that she quarreled with the Queen Mother. But this time was the one that pissed off the Queen Mother the most.

Empress Dowager Zhu gritted her teeth in hatred when she heard the filthy words in her mouth, "Come here, give the Ai family a slap in the face!"

"I see who would dare!" Before Nanny Min could do anything, Emperor Xuanzong's cold voice came from the inner hall.
