Concubine's true colors

Chapter 520 Slandering and framing
At dawn in June, although it usually makes people feel refreshed, but because of the light rain last night, I will get up early and walk outside, and I can't help but feel the damp and cold. .

However, Xiangping, who rarely left his bedroom since returning to the palace, only drank and had fun in the Jinxi Palace, got up early today, and did not refuse the feeling of cold after the rain. rush to.

But just walked out of his dormitory, Xiangping, who had already put on brocade gauze and skirts in June weather, couldn't help shivering with his arms folded due to the cold air seeping up from the damp ground.

Just when Xiangping was about to ask the maids serving her to get her some clothes to keep out the cold, he saw a blue cloak of Huajinhu that had been draped over her shoulders intimately.

The weather in June has been hot and hot every day, so this is just a cloak, and Xiangping, who felt quite warm and no longer cold, immediately turned around and looked in surprise.

When she saw that standing behind her, it was Ji Lingfeng wearing a gold and silver mask who was smiling at her, Xiangping couldn't help but smile with satisfaction at the other person's thoughtfulness and care.

Since the day Zhou Xianrui ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor on the second day of February, Xiangping secretly saved Ji Lingfeng from Xiao Jinxuan's hands who cheated to death.

When the other party's injury was completely healed, she personally put on the gold and silver mask that had been crafted for many days for Ji Lingfeng.

And looking at Ji Lingfeng today, the part below the tip of his nose is indeed showing people as usual, but the nose bone is completely blocked by a mask carved with countless golden jasmine patterns.

Even a pair of eyes are hidden behind a mask made of pure gold and silver, making it difficult to observe the expression in his eyes.

The reason why this kind of texture is engraved is that according to Xiangping's explanation, jasmine was Mo Lingzhi's favorite flower in the past.

The other party even compared her to Jasmine, and felt that she was as refreshing and intoxicating as the fragrance of this flower.

Today's Ji Lingfeng is not only unable to show his true face to others, even his real name is naturally no longer available.

And because he was in Xiangping's eyes, the reason why he was kept by his side was to serve as Mo Linzhi's substitute.

So in the end, Xiangping gave Ji Lingfeng a new name called Mo Feng, which can be regarded as a complete combination of the other party's and Mo Linzhi's names.

But for those who don't know the truth, it is extremely difficult to see the clues just from the name.

After all, Ji Lingfeng today, in anyone's perception, thinks that he is dead.

Who would have thought that Xiangping, as a princess of the royal family, would boldly save a felon from the imperial court, and keep him by his side majestically every day.

This is indeed something that people can hardly imagine, but this Her Royal Highness really did it.

And looking at Xiangping's eyes that are extremely attached and satisfied with him, Ji Lingfeng is naturally very happy in his heart, because this is getting closer and closer to success as he expected to control the other party with emotion.

Ji Lingfeng, who has now fully integrated into the role of servant, saw him coming to the left side of Xiangping, and then helped him walk to the outside of the Jinxi Palace, whispering in a low voice:
"Your Highness, don't forget the words that the servant gave you just now, as long as the princess tells the Queen Mother exactly what she said. Ling Feng can assure you that the Queen Mother will definitely hate Xiao Jinxuan. At that time, the Queen Mother will support you , no matter how powerful Concubine Xiao is in the harem, there will be a chance to trip her up and make her die without a place to bury her."

When Ji Lingfeng said these words, the sternness hidden behind the mask was not fake at all.

In fact, when he was in the sky prison, he said that he had always had an inexplicable feeling for Xiao Jinxuan, and it was indeed true.

But after knowing that Xiao Jinxuan hated him to the bone because of that dream that seemed to foretell reality.

When Ji Lingfeng thought of Xiao Jinxuan, who was always calm and steady that day, he burst into tears with excitement, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

In fact, Ji Lingfeng knew that he and Xiao Jinxuan had no chance to ease the relationship in this life, only by getting rid of one of them, the other could live a good life.

Therefore, Ji Lingfeng, who always wanted power over everything in his heart, easily discarded his concern and unbearable for Xiao Jinxuan. Instead, he took advantage of the hatred in Xiangping's heart and took the opportunity to do everything possible to get rid of it. other side.

And after listening to Ji Lingfeng's uneasy instructions, Xiangping's mouth curled up into a sinister smile, and then he said in a low voice, but extremely viciously:
"Don't worry, but I, Xiangping, will never miss any opportunity to target Xiao Jinxuan. I really did nothing wrong by keeping you by my side. With you, I can not only control everything about that bitch Xiao Jinxuan In our hands, we will even come up with a clever plan to help the princess get rid of the other party step by step. If Ji Lingfeng can really be persuaded by today's mother, then you are the first, and the princess will not forget your credit, and will definitely There are many rewards."

Hearing this, although Ji Lingfeng thanked him, he sneered contemptuously in his heart.

No matter how many vulgar things such as gold and silver are rewarded, how can they catch his eyes? Looking at Xiangping, whose chin is slightly raised now, and his expression is quite arrogant.

Ji Lingfeng couldn't help swearing secretly that one day he would imperceptibly kneel down this Xiangping princess, who had been trained by him, at his feet, and let him do whatever he wanted.

While talking, Xiangping also came to Yanqing Palace. After learning about this meeting, Empress Chen was not in the bedroom, but in the Buddhist hall where Guanyin was enshrined, praying for Xue Yuyan's child who was unwilling to be born. when.

Immediately, the smile on Xiangping's mouth couldn't help but grow stronger, and he rushed to the Buddhist hall immediately.

When he came to the small Buddhist hall where Guanyin was worshipped in Yanqing Palace, before Xiangping entered, he could smell the fragrance of sandalwood.

Now Xiangping, who was more and more intoxicated by the fragrance of rouge and wine, covered his mouth and nose with a brocade handkerchief rather displeased, then walked into the small Buddhist hall with a frown and disgust.

And this time, Queen Chen, who was knocking on the wooden fish with her eyes closed, kneeling in front of the white jade Guanyin statue, and reciting the Guanyin Heart Sutra devoutly, heard that the door was opened.

When she was about to reprimand the palace servants for not understanding the rules and how they came to disturb her, but when Empress Chen saw clearly that the person who came in was Xiangping who had been the jewel in her palm since she was a child.

Immediately, all her dissatisfaction disappeared, and she said kindly and lovingly:

"Xiangping, why did you come here so early in the morning? It's quite cold after the rain. It's a good idea to catch a cold after catching a cold. I think you haven't had a meal yet. The mother asked Biyun to prepare breakfast for you." Shan, just tell the queen what you want to eat."

Faced with Empress Chen's great care, Xiangping first greeted his mother with a smile and greeted her mother.

Then in front of Empress Chen, she always deliberately made herself into Xiangping who didn't understand the world and looked like a little daughter.

This will not only suppress the hazy side of my heart, but also put on a joyful look and say happily:

"Mother, my daughter knows that you are praying for my little nephew who was not born, so how dare Xiangping ask my mother to do all the work for me at this time. And today my daughter came here to send a few hand-made I hope that I can enshrine it in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Let the Guanyin Bodhisattva, who saves the suffering, be sure to bless my unborn little nephew in Concubine Xue's belly to be born safely, and must not let anyone hurt him secretly. "

Xiangping's obvious words contained a meaning, and it was too obvious, so it was difficult for Empress Chen to not be able to hear it.

Don't look at the time when Empress Chen was a good concubine, she was bullied by the queen Xue Yi in the palace for decades, so she really didn't have a good impression of Xue Yuyan.

But no matter what attitude Empress Chen has towards the Xue family, what Xue Yuyan harbors in her belly is the biological flesh and blood of her son Zhou Xianrui.

Especially after Fengxiang Palace announced to the outside world that Xue Yuyan's birth was a little prince a few months ago, Empress Chen looked forward to this little grandson very much.

Therefore, Xue Yuyan was reluctant to give birth after several months of delay, and Empress Chen was also very anxious.

Therefore, she stays in the small Buddhist hall every day, just to pray for this child.

But now, as soon as he heard that his little grandson was about to die, it seemed that someone was still expecting an accident for this child. Immediately, Empress Chen couldn't wait to pull Xiangping's hand, and asked eagerly:
"Xiang'er, what did you mean by those words just now? Have you heard any rumors? Now your emperor brother and Jinxuan and the others, these children's wings are hardened, and they will always say that Ai's family will take care of them. Don't worry about the rest. The empress mother seems to be in her seventies and eighties, and they don't discuss anything with Ai's family anymore. Xiang'er, but Concubine Xue's birth is in danger. Your imperial brother is now in his twenties, I don’t even have a son yet, how decent is it to say it. Although I don’t like Xue’s family, but the little grandson of Ai’s family should be safe and sound, if there is really a queen who loses his mother by accident, I will feel very uncomfortable.”

Seeing what Chen Hou said, the eye circles were even a little red with excitement.

Xiangping, who was extremely satisfied with his mother's nervous reaction, saw that she immediately showed a embarrassed expression.

Then under Chen Hou's anxious questioning, Xiangping looked helpless, and said in a low voice with a look full of helplessness and fear:

"Mother and daughter have indeed heard some rumors. You also know that Xiang'er and I are usually restless. I went to the Imperial Garden that day and overheard two lazy servants hiding behind a rockery chatting with each other. According to them, the reason why Concubine Xue's pregnancy was difficult to conceive was because the imperial doctor of the Imperial Medical Office secretly prescribed medicine to delay the delivery. As we all know, under the rectification of Jinxuan a few months ago, the Imperial Medical Office, Nine out of ten of the remaining imperial doctors are those who are willing to take orders from the other party. The reason why Jinxuan did this, the two palace servants also said, was that Xue Yuyan gave birth to the prince, and the mother would be honored by the son. To the queen's throne."

Looking at Empress Chen's face, although it would be very ugly, it still showed a trace of disbelief and hesitation.

Xiangping, who was taught by Ji Lingfeng when she came here, had been told by the other party that if she wanted to make Chen Hou believe it, she couldn't blindly belittle Xiao Jinxuan.

It is appropriate to intercede for the other party and say a few good words, so that her queen mother can be trusted.

Therefore, even though Xiangping would wish to add insult to injury, she still held back the hatred in her heart and the momentary euphoria.

Immediately, according to what Ji Lingfeng taught, he immediately changed the subject and continued with understanding:

"My queen actually overheard these things unintentionally. Even though such rumors are getting more and more popular nowadays, Xiang'er has known Jinxuan for so long and still believes that the other party will never do such a terrible thing. And even if Jinxuan Indeed, she did so, probably for Sheji's sake. After all, she also wanted to prevent that Xue Yuyan from becoming the second Queen Xue. Therefore, no matter whether this is true or not, can the Queen promise Xiang'er not to be angry with Jinxuan, let alone Rebuke and punish the other party. After all, my daughter and her love each other like sisters, so I really can't bear it."
