Marriage Princess: The Alluring Concubine of the Evil Emperor

Chapter 8 Concubine Shang Gui's Conspiracy
Sure enough, as Qinghe expected, Tao'er committed suicide that night without uttering a word.

Eunuch Xi reported the matter to the emperor, who frowned in disgust, "Throw her up the mountain to feed the wolves."

Xi Gonggong took the order and left.

When this matter reached Qinghe's ears, Qinghe just smiled lightly and didn't say anything.

On the contrary, Su Guiren was a little worried, "Tao'er didn't say anything, will the emperor believe us?"

Qinghe said calmly: "Although Tao'er didn't say anything, Emperor Father also knew who instigated it, but he didn't pursue it."

Su Guiren hesitated for a moment, looked at Qinghe, "You seem to know who instigated it, who instigated Taoer to instigate you to commit suicide?"

Looking at Su Guiren's clean face, Qinghe couldn't help sighing, with such a simple mind, it's a miracle that he survived in this harem until now.

"Who else? Concubine Shang Gui!" Qinghe said calmly.

Su Guiren suddenly got up, stared wide-eyed and shook her head, "This is absolutely impossible. Although she has never liked us, she is the head of Suhe Palace. If something happens to you, she will bear the brunt of the punishment. How could she move? Stone yourself in the foot? She's not that stupid."

"She is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very smart." Qinghe stood up, poured a glass of water on the table, drank it slowly, moistened his throat, and continued: "Taoer taught me to commit suicide, then she must be I am watching from the side, so I am determined not to die, but if I make such a fuss, who will the emperor punish after he finds out? The emperor will not punish me, at most he will scold me, because I still want to get married Bei Mo, then, after I get married, the emperor will definitely punish you, a nobleman. Generally speaking, if you marry a princess, you will be promoted to the position of birth mother as a reward. Whether you can keep your status as a nobleman is another matter."

Su Guiren's palms were sweating, and he was speechless for a while.

After a long time, she looked at Qinghe and said: "Why do you talk about the emperor? You don't even call father the emperor?"

Qinghe was startled, and then remembered that she had made a slip of the tongue just now, and Su Guiren reminded her that she should pay attention to this problem in the future.

"Maybe it's because I always resent my father for asking me to marry into a place like Beimo." She said sadly.

Su Guiren held her hand and sighed long, "It's because I'm useless that I've hurt you, but if I was born taller, you wouldn't be like this."

Qinghe didn't like to hear such self-pitying words, so he quickly changed the subject, "Aside from Xiaozhu, which slave is more reliable?"

Su Guiren was stunned for a moment, and said in a whisper: "This...they have been serving me by my side all the time, so they are probably reliable?"

She obviously lacked confidence, and she never thought that Tao'er would betray the Lord before.

Qinghe sighed again, shook his head and said, "My lord, to survive in this harem, you really need to take care of yourself."

Su Guiren looked at her fixedly, and finally couldn't help but said: "Yi'er, after you committed suicide once, you seem to be a little different."

Qinghe smiled faintly, "Isn't it good to change? It's better than being mermaid."

Su Guiren sighed, "I originally just wanted to live peacefully in this harem, but after more than ten years, I haven't lived a day in peace."

Qinghe kept silent. In this harem, there has always been turmoil and turmoil. There will be no peaceful days. It is simply a luxury to want to live in peace.

Qinghe raised her for several days, taking the body-replenishing prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor every day, and her face gradually turned rosy. In addition, the emperor finally felt that he had treated this daughter badly, and rewarded her with beautiful clothes and jewelry, and specially ordered Xi's father-in-law to come. Inform Qinghe that a palace dinner will be held in the Longevity Palace three days later, and let her and Su Guiren attend to gain a lot of insight.

Su Guiren seemed very excited. She had never been a part of this kind of banquet in the past, but this time the emperor would allow her and Yi'er to go. It seems that Yi'er's suicide has completely changed the story.

Xiaoqian told Qinghe what he heard from Eunuch Chen who was serving in the imperial study room. Originally, the emperor only let her go alone, but it was Concubine Shang Gui who spoke before the emperor, so that nobleman Su also went to the banquet together.

Qinghe smelled a strong sense of conspiracy from Xiaozheng's words.Concubine Shang Gui would not be so kind to let Su Guiren appear in front of everyone, because although Su Guiren came from a humble background, she looks outstanding in appearance and can easily overwhelm her as the Mistress of Suhe Palace.

This banquet is not a formal banquet. Every few months, the emperor will find a day to gather the princes and nobles, and the princes and relatives will bring their families to the palace to gather. To put it bluntly, the emperor wants to pass this gathering. Among people, who would have a different heart.

Then at the end of the banquet, some people will be rewarded to bond with each other and increase their loyalty to the imperial power.

The queen was still ill, so the banquet was organized by Concubine Qi, who was in charge of the harem.

When Qinghe was still the wife of General Yuan, she once entered the palace to pay respects to Concubine Qi, and stayed for a cup of tea in Concubine Qi's palace, but Concubine Qi's nobility and coercion left a deep impression on her.

Concubine Qi Gui is not the mother of a country, but she looks like the mother of a country.

In the early morning of this day, Concubine Qi ordered someone to bring a pair of red coral hair masks, saying that the emperor had specially instructed her to wear them at the banquet so as not to lose the majesty of the princess.

Su Guiren hurriedly went to Concubine Qi's palace to thank her. Naturally, she would not be able to see Concubine Qi, but Concubine Qi was rewarded. These concubines under their identities always had to go through the motions and go to thank Concubine in person.

"Yi'er, you have never received such attention in the harem for 16 years." Su Guiren looked at his daughter with exquisite makeup, and his face was quite gratified.

Qing Herang took Koudan from Xiao Zhuan's hand, and slowly painted it on his nails, "My lord, this brilliance is only temporary, and now I pay attention to it, but because I am a princess."

"Yes!" Su Guiren's expression darkened again.

Qinghe didn't make a sound, just quietly painted his nails, thinking about the conspiracy of Concubine Shang in his heart.

Concubine Shang Gui pointed out that she was targeting Su Guiren. She would not be so stupid as to deal with herself right after Taoer died. Before that, she ordered someone to instigate Li Yier to commit suicide in order to hit Su Guiren. Tonight, her purpose should be the same.

At noon, Concubine Shang ordered someone to deliver a set of clothes, saying that they were for nobleman Su to wear to the banquet tonight.

This is a crimson palace skirt with intricate rose patterns embroidered with silver thread.

Su Guiren was very happy, and hurriedly tried it on with the skirt.

Qinghe stared at the palace skirt, grabbed it with one hand and looked at it carefully, but saw one or two peonies embroidered on the wide sleeves.

Qinghe looked again, and saw a flying phoenix embroidered in the dark lines on her back. The dark lines were not very clear, so she ordered Xiao Zui to light the candle, and under the light of the candle, the flying phoenix with the dark lines appeared very clearly. out.

"Oh my God!" Su Guiren turned pale, "Here, at the dinner party tonight, the Longevity Palace is brightly lit, and this flying phoenix with dark patterns can't hide it. At that time, I will not be able to escape this crime of usurpation no matter what."

Only empresses can embroider the flying phoenix and peony with dark patterns. Even if they are as noble as Concubine Qi, they can only embroider peonies instead of peonies, let alone the phoenix dark pattern embroidery that represents the queen.
