Long Harem Road

Chapter 84

The queen returned to Kunning Palace with a sullen face, a surge of resentment rose from the bottom of her heart, burning her internal organs, her small face turned pale, and her eyes flashed with tyranny. , I am afraid that she, the queen, was targeted from the beginning.

Zhou Baolin, who can be easily poked to death with one finger, is worth the trouble of the concubine Xian?Today, under the watchful eyes of everyone, she was repeatedly provoked by the concubine Xian but she was helpless, and she had committed the taboo of the superiors.

In particular, she occupies a high position, but has no love and no prince. In this harem, the only thing that can convince all the concubines is the honorable title of empress. This is her pride and the only comfort in her heart.

However, it was this pride that was trampled on mercilessly and unscrupulously today. She was able to resist not breaking out on the spot.

The second is that she is not sure whether the emperor will continue to support her and give her the respect and status she deserves. Ever since the queen mother started to target Concubine De, the emperor has been resisting with practical actions. This is something she has been unwilling to admit but has to be afraid of. fact.

Under the luxurious and graceful palace attire, the queen's thin body was trembling with extreme anger, her delicate face was distorted and her eyes were cold and gloomy. The monstrous anger seeped into her bones, and she felt that she was burning inside and couldn't find an outlet.

The so-called self-cultivation was broken in an instant. The queen waved her sleeves angrily, and pieces of precious porcelain were smashed to pieces.

The madness in the queen's eyes was getting deeper and deeper, with flames blazing, blue veins on her forehead bulging, and bright red blood dripping 'tick tick' in her palm, but she ignored it, only the mad cry in her heart remained, and she couldn't flinch from it, this The palace is the most honorable queen.

The maids and eunuchs inside and outside the palace were silent like cicadas, sweating profusely, breathing lightly and quietly, and carefully buried their heads in meditation. What could make the empress who has always cherished her feathers "virtuous and generous" so hysterical?

In the future, I will have to get close to Sister Dongmei, otherwise I will violate the empress taboo in a daze, and I will not know why my life is gone, wouldn't it be unfair?

"Master?" Joy carefully interrupted Baozhu's contemplation, looking at the pregnant master who was still struggling with Liujia, the concern in her eyes was self-evident. The guilt is even worse.

"What useful news can Zhou Baolin's court lady get?" Baozhu arranged for the staff in Roufu Palace to discover Zhou Baolin's abuse of the court lady, and Fang induced Xiaoxiang to give it a go.

That day, Hongxiu tripped and tripped on purpose, and cleverly used her position to make her mistakenly think that Zhou Baolin stepped sideways. At the moment of life and death, Hongxiu had no time to think carefully, and instinctively shirked responsibility and testified against Zhou Baolin.

In fact, Xiaoxiang didn't know the specific plan. She just had the attitude of burning everything together at first. Once Zhou Baolin was convicted of murdering the emperor's heir, she would inevitably die as a confidant.

But the other party made a big promise to keep her safe, and now that life is worse than death, it is natural to fight to the death. As long as he can escape Zhou Baolin's abuse, he is willing to die, let alone be buried with his master?

Looking at the whole leopard at a glance, it can be seen that Zhou Wan'er's vicious perversion, her mind is twisted, and she can force the maids around her to the point where she would rather die, which shows that Xiaoxiang's accusation back then was just a drop in the bucket.

And as Concubine Xian tried her best to turn the tide, Xiao Xiang naturally put all her schemes on Concubine Xian's head. Even if the emperor or queen finds out doubts and interrogates them again one day, she will definitely not think of Qingfeng Palace, where the gates of the palace are closed and praying for blessings.

"Returning to the master, the servant girl found valuable information. There is still one doubtful point. The servant girl has never thought about it. According to Xiaoxiang's recollection, Zhou Baolin visited the queen mother before going to bed the day before yesterday. conversation between.

When she returned to the palace, although Zhou Baolin tried her best to control her, she couldn't hide the joy on her face. Presumably it was because she was very happy to serve Zhou Baolin for the first time. There are medicine stains. "

Huanle has superb medical skills and has always paid attention to medicinal materials. It is strange to intuit that the brocade handkerchief is stained with medicine stains. The most likely possibility is that Zhou Baolin left it when he wiped it after drinking the medicine. What about medicine in Yongshou Palace?
"Yongshou Palace? Medicine stains? The Queen's low-key?" Baozhu murmured to herself, always feeling that there was some important clue missing, as long as all these things were connected in series, everything would be solved, but she couldn't remember what it was.

"Continue to stare at Zhou Baolin. I don't believe that she is still calm under such circumstances. This time, we must investigate the transaction between her and the empress and queen dowager. Do you understand?" fierce.

"Please rest assured, master!"

"In addition, focus on Kunning Palace, the empress will take action soon." Baozhu sneered twice, empress, no matter what means you have, this palace will definitely catch you all this time.

"Master, the 'Christmas' is coming, the queen should not be against the wind and waves." Joy said with a hint of confusion and uncertainty.

"Hmph." Baozhu said contemptuously, showing a meaningful smile, "Happy, you still don't understand the mentality of superiors, in the Queen's mind, nothing can drive her crazy like provoking her authority.

Especially when she was provoked in front of other concubines in the harem, if she couldn't save the situation as soon as possible, how would she convince the public and continue to take care of the harem?

Unless, she wants to be ostracized and become a queen in name only, otherwise, she will definitely take some action, and she will act impatiently to dispel the influence of this matter as soon as possible, understand? "

"But...? Concubine Xian doesn't seem to have done anything to the queen? Besides, the queen has been unusually low-key these days..."

"With the queen's status, although the virtuous concubine can't make mistakes in terms of etiquette, who is not a human being who is facing the queen's tit-for-tat? How can you not understand?
Seriously, the concubine Xian is a down-to-earth offender. If the empress is favored and her status is stable, hmph, ten concubines will be punished too. The first rank of officials crushes people to death. Otherwise, why would everyone in the harem sharpen their heads and climb up? ?

However, the empress is not favored and her status is not stable. Under the aggressive concubine Xian, she had to make concessions. This is a great humiliation for the empress. Size her up. "

Baozhu is not in a hurry, she patiently solves for Joy, what she needs is not just a docile puppet, but a constantly improving, independent right-hand man, when she doesn't think well, Joy and others can play a supplementary role .

Huanxi thought a little when he heard the words, a light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly realized, as if he was the most trusted confidant of the master, but if one day, the master showed distrust of him, the maids under him would definitely want to replace him and go further , All kinds of small actions against oneself will definitely emerge in endlessly.

When authority is threatened, one must not back down, because once one retreats, it will be an abyss, and the people behind will soon realize that they have been abandoned by the master, and their situation will become more and more difficult, day by day.

Then, the only way out is to find ways to gain the trust and support of the master, not only to demonstrate his inviolable position in the heart of the master, but also to establish his prestige, and I believe that the people under him will be more obedient.

After thinking through all this, Huanhuan saluted respectfully and sincerely, "Thank you master for teaching me, this servant understands. Master, put yourself in the shoes of the queen. The next most effective way for the empress is to gain the support of the emperor. No matter what the excuse is, once the concubine Xian is punished, her The purpose is achieved.”

"That's right." Baozhu nodded with a smile, Huanxi and the others have basically reached their own standards except for the limitation of their own vision, "What I have to do is to plan ahead and stop the Queen's trick!"

The corner of Baozhu's mouth curled up into a sneer, and her eyes were ruthless. In this harem where the strong prey on the weak, it's either you die or I die, "What's more, it's weird that the empress has been living in seclusion for three months, saying that she sees through the world, hmph, this palace The first one didn't believe it.

Therefore, she must have a plan, and the plan is not small, I can't let it develop, we must take the opportunity to disturb her mind, so that we can fish in troubled waters and disrupt her plan. "

Baozhu's black eyes flashed coldly, "Look carefully, beware of the Queen Mother's meddling, and increase the fire when necessary, I don't believe the Queen can hold back."

"Master is wise!"

Zhao Zhen appeared in Qingfeng Palace on time. Since he made clear his mind, he felt more and more as if he hadn't seen each other for three autumns. Whenever he thought of the women and children waiting in Qingfeng Palace, not only the boring memorial became cute, but he thought it was sunny, Birds singing and flowers fragrant, life is infinitely beautiful.

"Your Majesty." Baozhu supported his stomach and smiled. Although Zhao Zhen tried his best to conceal the joy in his heart, the corner of his mouth that was about to crack his ears betrayed him. reserved!
Every cell in Zhao Zhen's body was jumping with joy, a pair of black eyes stared at the woman who came from the palace for a moment, his eyes doted on him, "Bao'er?", he quickly stepped forward and hugged her, warm palms Gently covering her lower abdomen, "Is she naughty today?"

"Your Majesty, she is very good." Baozhu leaned against Zhao Zhen's arms, her face seemed to be frozen with laughter. Zhao Zhen has become more and more elusive since the inexplicable confession a few days ago.

He seemed to have lost his maturity and gloomyness overnight, and he became an aggrieved and begging child in Qingfeng Palace, his behavior became more childish, and he often pestered Baozhu to act coquettishly, and even competed with Zhao Mao to be jealous.

What Baozhu didn't know was that Zhao Zhen had just listened to the expert Ji Xu's opinion, "Crying children have candy, and thick-skinned men are hurt", and relying on thick skin to enjoy the pampering of women, he became more and more addicted to it.

Zhao Zhen hugged Baozhu, calm and calm. At this moment, he let go of his responsibilities and government affairs, only the woman and child in his arms, that was his everything, his happiness, and the love he could never give up.

"Your Majesty, you are half an hour late today. No matter how busy the government affairs are, you should also pay attention to your health and eat on time!" Baozhu babbled earnestly, but Zhao Zhen felt warm. This was the feeling of home he had always wanted.

"I know, I want to use glutinous rice chicken today, okay?" Zhao Zhen's eyes were shining with happiness, imitating Zhao Mao, rubbing his head on Baozhu's neck, and said coquettishly.

Bao Zhu was speechless and twitched the corners of her mouth, and cast a helpless glance at Zhao Zhen, who was childish and playing tricks. A big man a head taller than herself was playing tricks. Who could tell Ben Gong, where did that wise, martial, cruel and fierce emperor go?
Zhao Zhen couldn't respond, and worked harder, with a naughty smile on the corner of his mouth, and finally said, "Okay." Fang sat down to eat with satisfaction.

Li Mingzhong, who was ignored, stared round, as if he was about to fall, and almost muttered, this guy is not the emperor, this guy is not the emperor, how could the emperor be so naive, there is a plate of glutinous rice chicken on the table, what do you want? Do you dare not to eat slaves?

"Cooking!", the emperor finally woke up distracted Li Mingzhong with a cold snort, felt the cold gaze of the emperor warning, Li Mingzhong couldn't help trembling, the old slave didn't hear anything, and concentrated on serving the dishes.
