The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 496
"What? Xi Gongyue likes the emperor? Isn't that her...her brother?" Dowager Xi was also shocked by the sudden news, with an expression of disbelief on her face.

"Why is Concubine Taifei so confused? They are not relatives. Concubine Ling was not adopted from the Ling family clan back then. The first emperor saw that Concubine Ling was pitiful, so he acquiesced. This Xi Gongyue is strange to say the least." , I usually don’t say a word with others, but she is very attentive to the emperor. In order not to leave the palace, she... refused to marry the Zhao family at the beginning, which shows that she is so persistent."

After listening to Shen Bilan's words, Concubine Xi half-believed: "No, if she is really determined, how could she finally waver and marry Jing Wuhen?"

Shen Bilan smiled mysteriously: "The concubine does not know something, in fact... Xi Gongyue's marriage to Jing Wuhen was entirely Ye Anran's trick."

"Ye Anran?" Concubine Xi became more confused now, why did Ye Anran get involved?

"Yes, when she teamed up with Xi Gongmo to win Jing Wuhen, Ye Anran used Concubine Chen to persuade Xi Gongyue. I don't know how Concubine Chen persuaded Xi Gongyue to agree. There must be something tricky in it." Shen Bilan analyzed.

Concubine Xi nodded slowly: "Well, it makes sense, but the current situation is very unfavorable, no matter whether she is helping Jing Wuhen or saving the emperor, once the [-] troops enter the city, the consequences will be disastrous. Speaking of the people in the city, even our people will be greatly injured, so this Nishi Gongyue must not let her go on like this."

"If the concubine can be trusted, how about...the concubine go to talk and have a try?" Shen Bilan turned around.

"You?" Now Concubine Xi is even more strange. Shen Bilan has always been a person who protects herself wisely, so there are not many times when she takes the initiative to hit the gun, and she is still so active. Could it be that she has other goals?

Seeing Concubine Xi's suspicious eyes, Shen Bilan immediately explained: "Your Majesty, you don't have to think too much, this concubine really hopes to help you a little bit, and do your best, this Xi Gongyue usually treats the emperor the most. It's okay, it's fine with me, so I want to try and see if I can persuade you to surrender."

"If not?" Dowager Xi asked back.

"If not, then... at least I can lower her defenses and give our army a chance to sneak attack. This is also a good way, are you right? Empress Dowager." In order to gain the appreciation of the concubine, This time, Shen Bilan was willing to go all out.

In fact, she did this for another purpose. She finally came out of the cold palace, and she will never go in again. Therefore, if she wants to have a good future in the future, she must please Princess Xi, and more importantly, do something for Jue Xigong Otherwise, it is unreliable to enjoy the fruits of other people's labor.

In this way, Shen Bilan left the cold palace, and before she could rest, she went ten miles away to talk to Nishi Gongyue.

ten miles away barracks

"Your Highness, there is a woman who claims to be your friend and wants to see you." The soldiers came to report.

"My princess' friend?" With doubts, Xigongyue walked out of the tent, and suddenly saw Shen Bilan's figure, Xigongyue was stunned: "Sister-in-law?"

"Princess, do you know her?" Although Shen Bilan was no longer a queen and she was no longer dressed so luxuriously, Xi Gongyue still recognized her at a glance.

"Let her in, she's my...uh, friend." Feeling that it's not the time to reveal Shen Bilan's identity, Nishinomiya also concealed it.

Shen Bilan was let in, and when she saw Nishinomiya Yue, she held her hand and said, "Yue'er, it's great to see you."

"Sister-in-law, aren't you in the cold palace? How did you get out?" Xi Gongyue was puzzled.

"Ah, yes...the emperor let me out. The emperor knew that I was framed, so he let me go. I also know the true face of that woman Ye Anran. This time, the emperor sent me to see you." Shen Bilan Said in a low voice.

Hearing the emperor, Xi Gongyue's eyes lit up: "Brother Huang called you here? Is he finally no longer bewitched by Ye Anran? It's really great, then... is he alright?"

"Well, the emperor is fine, don't worry." Shen Bilan nodded.

"Sister-in-law Huang, the elder brother called you, do you want me to send troops to rescue him immediately?" Xi Gongyue was a little anxious.

"No, no, the meaning of the emperor's coming is...to tell you not to act rashly."

"Don't act rashly, why?" Nishinomiya Yue was puzzled.

"Uh... This is because the emperor has always governed the country benevolently, and he is afraid that you will hurt the people in Bianjing." Shen Bilan made up a random reason out of desperation.

Xi Gongyue's eyes immediately dimmed, and she slowly said: "Yes, Brother Huang has always been so kind, even if he is in danger, he still has to care about his family, country and people."

"So, Yue'er, don't be impulsive. By the way, Yue'er, how... did you lead the troops out? Didn't Jing Wuhen... follow Xi Gongmo?" Shen Bilan asked with some doubts.

"Don't mention that bastard, I can't wait to tear him apart immediately. When I married him, I just hoped that he could help my brother wholeheartedly, but I didn't expect that at the critical moment, he actually betrayed us and followed Xi Gongmo. I'm so angry. I'm dead, if I hadn't stolen his tiger talisman in time, how could I have come back to save my brother?" Xi Gongyue is a simple-minded person, when asked by Shen Bilan, she naturally said everything and didn't hide anything.

Shen Bilan suddenly realized and nodded: "Oh, so that's the case."

She thought to herself, without Jing Wuhen's support, then this Xi Gongyue would be nothing to be afraid of, so Shen Bilan said slowly: "Yue'er, since this is the case, then you wait a moment, your emperor brother means to Find an appropriate time to send troops, you are tired from traveling tonight, rest first, I will go back to deliver a letter to your emperor brother, let him rest assured." Seeing that Xi Gongyue didn't have any real cards, Shen Bilan felt relieved I got up and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute, sister-in-law." Xi Gongyue suddenly blocked her way.

Shen Bilan was startled, did she find out that she was with Jue Nishinomiya?
"Can...can you give me a word for Brother Huang?" Xi Gongyue said suddenly.

Shen Bilan looked back and smiled: "Of course, tell me, I will definitely tell the emperor exactly."

"Sister-in-law, please tell Brother Huang, Yue'er... Yue'er is very worried about him and misses him very much, she will definitely rescue him, so tell him not to worry." Said Xi Gongyue with tears in her eyes.

"Okay, I will pass on your words." After speaking, Shen Bilan turned and left the military tent.

Xi Gongyue really thought that Shen Bilan would tell the emperor what she wanted to say, but she never imagined that less than a quarter of an hour after Shen Bilan left, Xi Gongjue's army actually arrived, and was attacked by those masters behind him. The [-] army was defeated and fled in all directions.

A woman in crimson tulle came in, pointed her sword at Xi Gongyue and said coldly, "Your Highness, come with us."

Only now did Nishi Gongyue realize that she had been ambushed...
