Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 385 The first time I met at that time, I was in the middle of the game (4)
"Also, you just mentioned the old concubine Luo, right? I suddenly remembered, isn't the old concubine Luo the mother of Concubine De? Luo Wang's mansion is not in the capital, and I heard that this princess has not returned for many years Beijing is here, why did you come back suddenly this time? Concubine De, she also gave birth to a prince."

The light in Feng Qingli's eyes flickered for a moment, like the flickering of candlelight in the cold night wind, suddenly it was as bright as before.

"Remember not to talk about these things in front of other people. People in power are the most taboo to talk about these things behind their backs."

Qiu Mingyue was noncommittal, "So I'm guessing right? The purpose of the old Princess Luo's coming to Beijing is really extraordinary."

Feng Qingli said: "She came here under the guise of marriage, her granddaughter is going to enter the eldest prince's residence. The emperor's grandmother just approached Concubine De to discuss this matter yesterday."

Qiu Mingyue pondered for a while, and said: "The eldest prince was frustrated, and the old concubine Luo went to Beijing. Add these two things together, then..."

"You guessed right." Feng Qingli leaned back, her expression was silent and indifferent, her eyes were still as calm as water, but there was a slight undercurrent surging between her brows.

"The empress is starting to choose the main concubine and fill in the side concubines for the eldest prince. In other words, the number of courtiers attracted by the eldest prince has almost increased. The empress has always been shrewd. How could she not take this opportunity to strengthen her power this time? In the future, she will compete for talent. There will be greater capital. So some people can't bear the loneliness and want to start early, even regardless of the consequences."

"Reckless?" Qiu Mingyue asked suspiciously, "How can you be reckless?"

Feng Qingli said: "At first they just wanted to point the finger at the eldest prince slowly, so that the empress could restrain herself. But if someone with a heart wants to deliberately expand this matter or even make it into a mess, then the emperor They will definitely send people to investigate. In fact, this is for the common people to see. Everyone knows that this kind of thing is not the same after being checked? But, it will be over if you catch a dead ghost and come out to take the blame. However, this matter will never It is ambiguous, and the result is ambiguous. Therefore, the Eldest Prince must be seriously injured. By the time he has worked out all the troubles, the old Concubine Luo has already entered the capital. What awaits him will be another challenge."

Qiu Mingyue smiled bitterly, "Royal battles have always been the most cruel. I never thought that this incident was caused by me? As a small dust in the world of mortals before today, should I feel honored?" ?”

"Xuanxuan..."

Qiu Mingyue suddenly raised her head, her eyes were sharp and anxious.

"Replacing the dead ghost? You just said taking the place of the dead ghost." She stood up suddenly, "No, you haven't finished talking yet. This matter is so big, it is absolutely impossible for one party to do it. And these several forces are planning For my own interests. Some of them don't want my grandfather to be promoted, let alone marry you. However, the rumors will eventually dissipate, and the truth will be revealed one day. But..." She suddenly felt cold and her face turned pale .

"Grandpa...if something happens to my grandfather, if someone wants to trample me and my mother under their feet forever, then grandpa...grandpa is in danger." She was about to run out as she spoke, but was hugged by Feng Qingli live.

"Xuanxuan, calm down, listen to me, your grandfather is fine. Trust me, he is fine."

Qiu Mingyue gave up struggling slowly, turned around and grabbed his collar, staring at him intently.

"You didn't lie to me? Is grandpa okay? You didn't lie to me?"

"When did I lie to you?"

Feng Qingli's eyes were clear and her voice was flat, but it gradually calmed Qiu Mingyue's emotions.She took a deep breath and asked, "Did you send someone to protect my grandpa?"

Feng Qingli nodded, "Since your brother fell off the horse, I have sent people to Yangzhou."

Qiu Mingyue was startled, "Mingrui?"

Feng Qingli nodded, her eyes were a little complicated, and she hesitated to speak several times.

Qiu Mingyue suddenly felt very tired, many fragments in her mind were intertwined, like a tangled mess, and she couldn't find a clue.Her hands gradually became weak and she collapsed.

Feng Qingli reached out to grab her, and hugged her in her arms.Looking at her somewhat empty eyes, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Xuanxuan..."

Qiu Mingyue smiled bitterly, "Feng Qingli, tell me honestly, who was going to assassinate Mingrui last time? If Zhao is forced to give a far-fetched reason, then it is only you as the royal family. But before that , I am not familiar with you, let alone my brother?"

"I……"

"Don't say anything and don't tell me it's for my own good. I want to know the truth." She suddenly had sharp eyes, staring straight into Feng Qingli's eyes, not allowing him to back down in the slightest.

Feng Qingli couldn't escape under those eyes, so she could only sigh.

"Xuanxuan, sometimes I think, if you weren't so smart, maybe you wouldn't be so tired."

"Of course." The corner of Qiu Mingyue's mouth curled coldly, "Then I will die without a burial if I stay here for less than a month. So I would rather live a little tired than die."

Feng Qingli sighed again, caressing her face pitifully.

"The last time you treated the emperor's grandmother in Baohua Temple, you were known."

Qiu Mingyue said nothing, just looked at him indifferently.

Feng Qingli lowered her head, "You also know that the emperor's grandmother was actually poisoned, and the imperial doctors were helpless." He paused, "Everyone knows that the number one son in the world has no fixed home, and Rong Ye and I have known each other since we were young. So that day, I contacted Rong Ye in advance and asked him to go to Baohua Temple to detoxify the emperor's grandmother. But I didn't expect to meet you."

Qiu Mingyue let go of him, stood up, her brows were as cold as frost.

"So, I'm meddling?"

"No, no." Feng Qingli raised her head, took her hand and said, "The imperial grandmother doesn't know Rong Ye's identity. suspicious."

Qiu Mingyue looked out of the window and did not speak.

Feng Qingli let go of her hand dejectedly, "There is no impenetrable wall in the world, so people still know about that matter. The imperial grandmother has lived in the harem for most of her life, and she has been shrewd for most of her life. Who would dare to poison her and kill her?" Let her be unaware? Who has the courage and power? Therefore, this matter is a secret, a scandal that the royal family cannot disclose."

"You saved the imperial grandmother, but at the same time offended other people. That's why they dealt with your brother. Last time you went to Baohua Temple to pray for blessings, they also did it. It's just that you didn't know it."

Qiu Mingyue twitched her brows slightly, and looked at him with slightly shifted eyes.

Feng Qingli raised her head with sincere eyes.

"Xuanxuan, I don't want to drag you into these right and wrong. But... until now, there is nothing I can do." He lowered his head, his voice was hoarse and dejected, with indescribable pain, self-blame and unwillingness.He hated that he didn't have enough strength to contend with those people now, and hated that he couldn't even protect his beloved woman.He kept saying that marrying her would be good to her and protect her.But he watched her fall into the trap time and time again and was unable to help her.The feeling made him powerless and angry.like ten years ago...
