Liuli said hoarsely: "If it doesn't work, I will kill the imperial concubine..."
Fangruo was startled and said hurriedly: "You must not cause any trouble to the Concubine Xian. If such treacherous words reach the ears of the Concubine Xian, it will be terrible."
Furthermore, what does this have to do with the imperial concubine?
It was clear that the Imperial Concubine was also rejected by the Emperor before, but the Imperial Concubine still had the opportunity to sleep with him. The Xian Concubine approached the Emperor many times but failed to sleep with him. It can only be said that the Emperor did not care about the Xian Concubine.
But she couldn't tell the truth.
The problem is not with the Imperial Concubine, but with the Xian Concubine herself who failed to seize the opportunity. In this case, no one can complain.
"Kill the Imperial Concubine, and no one will stand in the way of the Xian Concubine." Liuli said hoarsely.
Fangruo looked at Liuli in disbelief: "If you continue to be so stubborn, sooner or later the Concubine Xian will be killed by you."
When Liuli heard this, her rationality finally returned.
Fangruo is right, she is the wife of the Concubine Xian. If she kills the Concubine Xian, the Concubine Xian will definitely be implicated by her.
At that time, the person she harmed was Concubine Xian, and she could not do this unless one day she was no longer on duty in front of Concubine Xian.
Next, there was only an eerie silence in the main hall of Zhongcui Palace. Because the master, Concubine Xian, was in a bad mood, the maids, chamberlains and nuns serving in the main hall were also cautious, for fear of upsetting the master, Concubine Xian...
During lunch time, Wu Xirou went to the Yangxin Hall.
Xiao Ce was still dealing with official business, but when he saw Queen Mother Guo arriving, he had no choice but to put aside his official duties and have lunch with Queen Mother Guo.
Although he didn't sleep well last night, because he was pleased by Qin Zhao early in the morning, he was in a good mood by noon.
Until Queen Mother Guo mentioned Qin Zhao.
"What's going on with the emperor? Everyone said that the imperial concubine was a promiscuous woman and did not abide by the rules of women. She flirted with Zhao Yu in the dragon boat race and lost the royal family's face. After returning to the palace, the imperial concubine killed the servant in Yongchun Zhai. Such viciousness
Women should be relegated to the cold palace, but the emperor ordered his concubine to sleep with him. What's the point?" As soon as Empress Dowager Guo sat at the dining table, she began to recite Qin Zhao's evil deeds.
Xiao Ce listened quietly and did not answer.
Empress Dowager Guo was very dissatisfied with this: "Emperor, did you listen to what the Ai family said?! The Ai family thinks that a woman like the imperial concubine should no longer be in charge of the Sixth Palace. If possible, she should be relegated to the cold palace."
Xiao Ce glanced at Queen Mother Guo indifferently: "How could the Queen Mother listen to unfounded rumors? Someone deliberately smeared the royal family and made the Royal Family a laughing stock in the world. The Queen Mother should find out the murderer who spread the rumors behind the scenes, instead of listening to greedy rumors like an ignorant woman.
"
As soon as Queen Mother Guo heard the words "ignorant woman", her face suddenly darkened: "You actually said that the Ai family is an ignorant woman?!"
"I happened to be at the scene during the dragon boat race, and the imperial concubine was with me the whole time. Later, the imperial concubine returned to the palace first, and there were rumors that the imperial concubine and Zhao Yu were involved. If I were not there, I would have believed this groundless rumor.
I am the witness. The Queen Mother does not believe me, but she listens to those rumors. What is she but an ignorant woman?!" Xiao Ce's face gradually became gloomy: "The Queen Mother put a blame on the imperial concubine without asking any questions, which makes me wonder.
The Emperor is planning all this behind his back."
Queen Mother Guo's face changed drastically: "Absurd! How could the Ai family do such a thing?!"
"The Queen Mother doesn't like the imperial concubine, so she would naturally do such a thing. I told you the ugly thing first. It's best that the Queen Mother is not involved in this matter, otherwise, even if she is the Queen Mother, I will not let you off lightly!" After Xiao Ce said this, he got off.
Expulsion order: "I can't eat this meal anymore. Zhang Jixiang, send it to the Queen Mother!"
Empress Dowager Guo saw that the atmosphere had become tense. She knew what was going on and found a way out for herself: "Since the emperor said that there is nothing between the imperial concubine and Zhao Yu, the Ai family naturally believed the emperor. This matter is biased by the Ai family. Please use it well, emperor."
Come and have dinner with the emperor next time."
Xiao Ce's expression softened slightly, but he didn't say anything else.
That day, Empress Dowager Guo walked out of the Yangxin Hall, with a flash of anger in her eyes.
Just now Xiao Ce defended Qin Zhao every word. Is it because Qin Zhao went to bed yesterday that Xiao Ce unconditionally trusted Qin Zhao? If so, how can he make it happen?
Queen Mother Guo came angrily, but in the end she could only return disappointed.
In the evening of that day, Zhang Jixiang served the green-headed cards as usual. Qin Zhao placed the green-headed card on his chest in the most conspicuous position. He was curious whether the emperor would continue to turn over the cards tonight.
He knew that it was a lie that Cui Jieyu was sleeping with her. Last night, Qin Zhao was sleeping with her, because he was not nearby, and it sounded like he was really sleeping with her.
Judging from the emperor's attitude towards the imperial concubine this morning, the imperial concubine can indeed please the emperor. I wonder how long the emperor's interest in the imperial concubine can be maintained.
"Your Majesty, please turn over the sign." Zhang Jixiang said respectfully.
Xiao Ce looked at the green card, and his eyes paused for a moment on Qin Zhao's green card before looking away.
He can't sleep well when dealing with Qin Zhao. This happened several times. Last night, when he asked this woman to "sleep", his sleep quality was not good and he couldn't even fall asleep on time.
He waved his hand and signaled Zhang Jixiang to take the green head card.
Zhang Jixiang was a little disappointed. He thought that the imperial concubine was different from other concubines in the harem. How could he know that the emperor had just ordered her to sleep with her for one night and she was no longer interested.
Just when Zhang Jixiang was struggling, Cui Jieyu came to the Yangxin Hall.
After Cui Jieyu saluted Xiao Ce, she said generously: "Is it my honor to have dinner with the emperor?"
In fact, she came to Yangxin Hall to meet the Saint after receiving orders from Queen Mother Guo.
Empress Dowager Guo told her to take the initiative and be more positive and strive to conceive the emperor's heir as soon as possible.
Yesterday, Qin Zhao suddenly came to bed, which shocked everyone, including her. However, she was doubting the authenticity of Qin Zhao's bed.
Before she came to meet the saint, she specifically asked Zhichun to inquire. She heard that when Qin Zhao went to bed yesterday, everyone stayed far away, including Zhang Jixiang.
In this case, it is worth discussing whether Qin Zhao really slept with him.
I can't blame her for thinking this way, she is just pretending to be sleeping with him. In addition, Xiao Ce is unkind and has no interest in women. He even disliked Qin Zhao a few days ago.
In this case, how could Qin Zhao sleep smoothly in such a storm as yesterday?
She was therefore skeptical.
However, she couldn't ask Xiao Ce directly, everything was just her guess.
This time Xiao Ce did not drive Cui Jieyu away.
He needs a woman to block the crowd in the harem and court. Cui Jieyu is a good chess piece. With Cui Jieyu here, everything will not be a problem.
During dinner, Cui Jieyu silently prepared food for Xiao Ce. Xiao Ce felt that Cui Jieyu was more polite and would not disturb him, so he temporarily decided to let Cui Jieyu "sleep" tonight.
