Chapter 158 Concubine Xue's Calculation

"Empress Dowager, you are worrying too much. After I told the emperor about this matter, the emperor asked me to ask the empress dowager what she meant. If the empress dowager is willing to attend the palace banquet, the emperor will send more guards to ensure that the empress dowager Your Majesty's safety." Chen Li quickly explained: "I also hope that the Empress Dowager will not blame the Emperor."

"Chief of ceremonies, you shouldn't have said these words." What the queen mother meant was that Chen Li had overstepped the rules. Si is not someone she can kill at will, so she can only give a verbal warning.

"My minister is guilty." Naturally, it was impossible for Chen Li to argue with the queen mother, so he quickly and respectfully admitted his mistake, which made the queen mother's complexion slightly better.

"Forget it, the New Year's Palace banquet is a big event, so what's the matter if the Ai family doesn't go?" The queen mother snorted, and then said: "Go back and tell the emperor that the Ai family will definitely attend the palace banquet."

"Yes! I'm leaving!" Chen Li got the Queen Mother's reply, so naturally he didn't stay any longer, Chen Nanny called the little eunuch in, and Chen Li helped the little eunuch to go out.

"Empress Dowager, please don't take it to heart, the emperor is also worried about your safety." Seeing that the Empress Dowager's face was not looking good, Chen Momo could only comfort her: "You also know that the palace has a lot of sunrises these days. The relationship between the empress and the emperor is becoming more and more tense, and I am afraid that the prince will also be implicated."

"The Ai family didn't worry about them. No matter what, the emperor is right to be afraid of the Liu family. The Ai family said at the beginning that the Liu family can produce a queen mother, and another noble concubine is enough. They just didn't listen. In the end, Maybe there are only these two people left." The Queen Mother closed her eyes, pinched her brows, and said coldly: "I'm afraid the favor of the Liu family will also come to an end."

"How could it be? With the protection of the Empress Dowager, the emperor has to keep the prince. You see that the censors made such a fuss a while ago, didn't the emperor depose the prince? This shows that the emperor still thinks of your affection." When Mother Chen heard what the Empress Dowager said, she felt her heart beating violently, but she still persuaded softly: "The Emperor may not care about those things back then, so don't worry about it, Empress Dowager."

"The Ai family watched him grow up, don't they understand the emperor's thoughts?" The queen mother pinched her eyebrows, sighed and said: "I spent so much effort back then, but only now have I discovered that many things are not true. People can decide, otherwise how can there be such a saying that people are not as good as heaven?"

"Your Majesty, this is the end of the matter. If the emperor really has the idea of ​​abolishing the prince, he will not be in a hurry. Maybe there will be a turnaround if he asks the prince to do something after the new year?" Mother Chen never thought that the queen mother would never have any feelings for the emperor. The method of deposing the prince is not very optimistic. Is the emperor really planning to do something to the prince?
"The Ai family saw that he was very confused. He actually raised that evil son for the Nine Kings, and even gave her the daughter of the Ruan family to her. The Ai family saw that the girl was not a simple person. He was pushed out." The queen mother said dissatisfiedly: "Even if Yun Yuexi is ruined, she can't marry Prince Xuan."

"The old slave understands, but Madam, the people we sent out have been investigating for many years. Maybe King Xuan is really not that person's posthumous son." Chen Mama actually didn't understand. When the Empress Dowager saw King Xuan before, there was nothing The special reaction, on the contrary, after King Xuan shined, he became more and more suspicious, and there was a feeling that he would not give up until he killed King Xuan.

"Mrs. Chen, you have been with Aijia for many years, and you have gone through a lot of things. Have you ever seen Aijia feel like you missed it?" She has been framed many times, so when Mother Chen heard what the queen mother said, she couldn't help but nodded in agreement with her words.

"The Ai family always felt that it was definitely a problem that King Xuan suddenly became so dazzling. Although it cannot be ruled out that he used to pretend to be submissive to avoid those assassinations, but the Ai family felt uncomfortable. Every time I saw him...especially the pair of The eyes can remind the Ai family of the Nine Kings." The queen mother pondered for a while before continuing: "Mother Chen, don't you understand a truth in this palace?"

Weeds and roots.

Of course, Mother Chen understood this truth, so she did not continue to comfort the Queen Mother. Although the emperor's heirs are not considered prosperous, they are definitely not inferior to King Xuan. If it can make the Queen Mother feel at ease, then why keep that person's name?
While Chen Momo was talking about Ouyang Haoxuan with the Queen Mother, Concubine Xue and Yun Yuexi had already found a gazebo to sit down, and when the maids brought the refreshments, Concubine Xue said with a smile: There are only a handful of people who sit here blowing the cold wind in this icy and snowy place."

"Minnv is flattered, thank you for your kindness." Yun Yuexi said neither humble nor overbearing: "If the empress suffers from the cold because of this incident, Minnv is really guilty."

"You're right, but I specially prepared a pot of good tea. If you don't reward me, wouldn't it be a waste?" Concubine Xue waved her hand, motioning the maid to pour tea for Yun Yuexi, and said with a smile: The emperor only rewards this palace, and other places in the palace can't drink it except this palace."

"Thank you, ma'am." Yun Yuexi held up the teacup, covered it with her sleeve, a stern look flashed across her eyes, she raised her head and drank the tea, then put down the cup and said, "It's really good tea!"

"I thought you would come here with your mother and the others, but I didn't expect you to be in the eyes of Changdi Ji. You also know that there are many dangers in this palace. You should pay more attention." Concubine Xue said while He poured tea for Yun Yuexi again, and said with a smile: "I hit you off right away. Since entering the palace, apart from pouring tea for the emperor, I have poured tea for you. Don't you want to refute this palace's face?" yes."

"Ministers don't dare!" Yun Yuexi picked up the teacup again, and said flatly: "Mother's affection, the daughters of the people will always keep it in their hearts."

Concubine Xue paused slightly when she put down the teacup. For a moment, she always felt that Yun Yuexi had seen through her own thoughts, but when she saw that she drank the tea without hesitation, she felt slightly relieved and said After all, Yun Yuexi is just a girl, how could she be so shrewd?
The two chatted for a few more words, and Yun Yuexi got up to leave. Concubine Xue didn't stop her, and waved her hand, signaling the maid to send Yun Yuexi back.

When Yun Yuexi had gone far away, Liu Zhu, the most powerful court lady beside Concubine Xue, said in a low voice: "Young lady, if you do this, I'm afraid you will offend His Highness Xuan Wang."

"As you can see, too many people in this palace hope that something will happen to Yun Yuexi, and even the queen mother doesn't want her to be with King Xuan. This palace just invited her to drink a cup of tea. Even if the time comes, King Xuan Finding someone to settle accounts may not be able to find Bengong." Touching Dan Kou on her nails, Concubine Xue said lightly: "Li Shi is willing to buy Yun Yuexi's life with 1 taels, so why not?" for?"

Liu Zhu didn't speak, but the secret meeting between Mrs. Li and Concubine Xue appeared in her mind that day.

On that day, when Mrs. Li saw Concubine Xue, she asked Concubine Xue to deal with Yun Yuexi without any greetings.

"Mrs. Yun, an orphan girl without a mother, you can even ask me to come here?" To be honest, Concubine Xue didn't have a good impression of Li Shi. The daughter of a merchant was just married to Yun Yi. Only then did she have the opportunity to help Yuan Guogong's family, but if she wants her to miss the old love, don't even think about it. It is she who climbed up step by step by herself to get to where she is today, and has nothing to do with anyone.

"Your Majesty doesn't know, Yun Yuexi is very shrewd, and she defuses my wife many times, and let her take advantage of her loopholes to harm Rou'er. That's why my wife asked you to come here, Your Majesty, your servant My wife is willing to buy Yun Yuexi's life with 1 taels." Li said viciously.

"1 taels?" Concubine Xue's heart moved, but she didn't agree immediately. Of course, she could see that Mrs. Li seemed to hate Yun Yuexi to the bone, and the New Year's Palace banquet was coming soon. As long as Yun Yuexi came After entering the palace, it couldn't be easier to deal with a woman who is powerless in this palace.

Although she is a noble concubine, she doesn't have much silver taels in her hands. 1 taels is not worth mentioning for those things that the emperor bestows on her, but for her to manage the palace, at least it can be used for a long time up.

It's just that, of course, she won't agree to Li so easily, if she wants to do something, can't she just get some money?

Seeing Concubine Xue drinking tea expressionlessly, Mrs. Li gritted her teeth and said, "As long as the empress can help my wife get rid of Yun Yuexi, then from now on, my wife and Rouer will only follow the imperial concubine's lead!"

"Since Mrs. Yun wants to get rid of Yun Yuexi so much, I will always help you in our relationship." Concubine Xue suppressed the calculation in her eyes and said lightly: "This matter will be recorded in this palace. Now, you go back first!"

When Mrs. Li left, she left the bank note. Although she lost her housekeeping rights, she still had some savings. In order to deal with Yun Yuexi, she was going all out.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhu still said nervously: "Your Majesty, I feel that there is still something wrong, why don't you follow me to have a look?"

"Liu Zhu, when did you become so timid, don't worry, nothing will happen." Concubine Xue got up and said to Liu Zhu: "Dispose of all these things, remember not to leave traces."

"Yes, empress." For some reason, Liu Zhu's heart was pounding, and she always felt uneasy, but Concubine Xue didn't take it seriously, and she could only obey her master's arrangement.

On the other side, Yun Yuexi followed the two little maids as they walked more and more remote, and couldn't help smiling and said, "Sisters, where are you taking Yuexi?"

"Of course it's to bring the girl back to Changdiji's palace. It doesn't matter if the girl doesn't know the way, just follow the servant girl." The little maid turned her head to answer, looked at Yun Yuexi again, and said with a gleam in her eyes: "Why is the girl pale, is she not feeling well?"
