Chapter 279 Getting Close to the Queen Mother
"I want you to promise that even if one day you really succeed and win the throne, you will never kill everyone." Concubine Sun stared into his eyes and said solemnly, "The one I miss most is Qiong'er, but
Qiong'er loves the prince wholeheartedly, and I can't persuade her."
"Therefore, I only ask you to agree to this matter. If you really succeed, you must not kill the prince and give him an idle prince with no real power. Let my Qiong'er live a safe and secure life.
"
Zhao Luozhi agreed very happily and agreed immediately.
Concubine Sun still looked at him reluctantly, "I want you to swear a poisonous oath. If you violate the oath, you will lose the throne within three months."
Zhao Luozhi's face condensed slightly, and he nodded and said: "I swear, when I succeed to the throne, if one day we kill everyone, I will not leave the country for three months, and I will lose the throne."
With the poisonous oath sworn by Zhao Luozhi, Concubine Sun seemed a lot more relieved. She breathed out softly and waved her hand, "I will remember your words. You should go back first. I am a little tired now.
"
"Please take a good rest, ma'am."
After leaving Concubine Sun's palace, Zhao Luozhi snorted softly, his eyebrows full of ridicule. Only a stupid woman would believe such a thing as an oath. On the first day he won the throne,
If you don't drive out all those people who are an eyesore, will you still keep them to covet your throne?
Inside Qionghua Pavilion.
Qingmei quietly entered the room and looked at Ji Fuyin who was leaning on the imperial concubine's couch with her eyes closed. She hesitated for a moment, not sure whether she should speak or not.
At this moment, Ji Fuyin opened her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Miss, His Highness the Sixth Prince just went to Yanquan Palace again and stayed there for a long time."
Ji Fuyin hummed lightly, with a half-smile in her expression. Zhao Luozhi wanted to win over her, but after being rejected by him, he immediately went to Yanquan Palace and discussed something with Concubine Sun and the others there. There was no need to think too much about it.
Hard to guess.
If you can't win over someone, you would rather go to great lengths to kill him than let him escape. This is Zhao Luozhi's consistent style.
Seeing that in a few days it will be the day to crown the Crown Princess, I don't think it will be very peaceful during this period.
"Miss, do you want to tell His Highness the Crown Prince?" Qingmei asked tentatively.
"No need, I will naturally speak when I need him, but not now." Ji Fuyin said.
Gu Hanqian is already a little worried because of Zhao Ming's affairs. If he is allowed to get involved in things like harem battles, it will inevitably distract him from the previous affairs, and maybe give opportunities to people with ulterior motives.
.
Putting her fingertips on the edge of the table and tapping lightly, Ji Fuyin said to Qingmei: "Please pay more attention to what's going on at Yanquan Palace these days."
No matter what plot the other party wants to use, no matter how subtle the trap is, as long as you don't fall into it, no matter how good the method is, it will be useless.
When the next morning came, Ji Fuyin saw that Luo Yu was the only one there, so she asked, "Where is Qingmei? Why is Mo Qi missing too?"
Putting the porridge on the table, Luo Yu said, "Miss, please ask Qingmei. Qingmei took Mo Qi to the palace early this morning, saying that he wanted to keep an eye on Miss."
Ji Fuyin smiled and said, "She works hard, but that's not wrong."
At this time, the information bought with money is naturally not as reliable as the information obtained by one's own people. Qingmei has always been smart, so it should not be discovered.
Sure enough, at about half of the morning, Qingmei led Mo Qi back. As soon as she came in, she looked at the people outside and saw that no one was approaching. Then she said, "Miss, Princess Jingxian wants to enter the palace."
Stay."
"To live in the palace for a long time?" Ji Fuyin raised her eyebrows slightly, "Concubine Sun is her aunt. It is not unusual for her to come to the palace to stay with him for a long time. Is there anything to inquire about."
Qingmei shook her head mysteriously, "Miss, you guessed wrong this time. Princess Jingxian is not staying in Yanquan Palace with Concubine Sun when she comes to the palace for a long time."
"Oh?" Ji Fuyin casually stuffed a snack for Mo Qi and looked at Qingmei inquiringly, "Then she is...?"
"Princess Jingxian did go to Yanquan Palace first when she entered the palace this time, but she didn't stay long. After Princess Jingxian came out alone, she went straight to the Jing'an Palace of the Queen Mother."
Seeing that Ji Fuyin didn't want to ask anything else, Qingmei continued, "Princess Jingxian came here in the past, but she didn't often go to the Queen Mother's house, so this time, I was more thoughtful and asked about it.
, I really asked this slave to find out something."
"I heard from them that Princess Jingxian went to the Queen Mother this time. She said that she wanted to atone for her sins and pray for the child in her belly. She specially went to accompany the Queen Mother to chant sutras for seven days and seven nights."
Ji Fuyin raised a contemptuous smile on her lips, "Atoning for the sins of Concubine Sun?"
Whether it was to atone for sins or to pray for blessings, these two probably had nothing to do with Sun Miaoqiong.
Qingmei nodded, "I heard that what Princess Jingxian said was extremely pious, which moved the Queen Mother. Jing'an Palace, which never lets people stay for a long time, made an exception this time and allowed Princess Jingxian to stay.
.”
Ji Fuyin glanced upward slightly, "Oh?, this is actually interesting."
The Queen Mother did not like Sun Miaoqiong very much in the past. She always felt that an overly beautiful woman like Sun Miaoqiong would sooner or later become a beauty disaster.
The Queen Mother is not a person who is easily persuaded by others. To be moved this time, Sun Miaoqiong must have worked hard. In addition to trying to figure out the Queen Mother's thoughts, she might also have to...
"How did she talk to the Queen Mother? Did you find out a few words?" Ji Fuyin asked.
Qingmei nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I heard that Princess Jingxian seemed to have said something to the Queen Mother this time. In short, it meant that she did not expect that her aunt would do such a cruel thing, and she was very ashamed of it.
, and I feel that my sins are serious, and I am willing to sever all relations with my aunt from now on, and sincerely recite sutras for my aunt to atone for her sins."
Ji Fuyin sneered. Sure enough, in order to express her determination, she completely drew all boundaries with Concubine Sun. Such a method was also something Sun Miaoqiong could do.
"Then what? No more?"
Qingmei thought for a while and answered honestly, "Replying to my lady, this is all I've heard. But just this, I've already spent half a year's worth of money."
Luo Yu on the side burst into laughter, and tapped her forehead with his fingertips, "Qingmei, girl, can our lady still lose your little money? How much did you spend to find out the information? The lady only
I will give you more and I won’t lose you.”
"You two, you are here to defraud me of my money by singing about your love." Ji Fuyin smiled, gave the money, took the tea brought by Luo Yu, took a sip, and began to fall into deep thought.
At this time, Sun Miaoqiong was not busy how to get rid of herself. Instead, she went to the Queen Mother to curry favor with her, and continued to chant sutras and worship Buddha for seven days and nights. What was the purpose of this?
If Sun Miaoqiong really repented sincerely and wanted to use this to relieve the guilt in her heart, then she would not believe it. Sun Miaoqiong must have her reasons for doing this... maybe it has something to do with herself...
Could it be that she wanted to use the Queen Mother's hand to deal with herself? As soon as this idea came up, Ji Fuyin shook her head in her heart. The Queen Mother was not a fool. If there was no concrete evidence, it would be a mistake to use the Queen Mother to deal with herself.
Impossible things.
What's more, if it was just that simple, how could Zhao Luozhi be involved? Ji Fuyin let out a breath. Since she couldn't figure it out, she could only wait quietly to see what they would do.
. But during this period, I have to tell Mo Li not to leave the palace.
Thinking of this, Ji Fuyin said to Luo Yu, "Luo Yu, I'm a little hungry. Go to the kitchen and make me a bowl of lotus seed soup."
"Yes, miss, I'll let Qingmei come in now." Luo Yu responded, but was stopped by Ji Fuyin.
Ji Fuyin shook her head, "No need to let Qingmei in, I want to be alone for a while."
"Yes, miss." Luo Yu responded meekly, turned around and walked out the door, lowering the curtain.
When there was no one in the room, Ji Fuyin felt relieved and let Li Qiye appear.
When Li Li landed on the ground, he seemed to be in a good mood and raised his hand to her, "Little girl, what's the matter?"
"It's still related to Sun Miaoqiong. I always feel that they are planning something now." Ji Fuyin frowned slightly and said, "It's nothing else. I just want to remind you that you still have to worry about it during this period.
You're keeping watch in secret so that if anything happens, you'll have someone to take care of you."
Li Qiye nodded generously, "Little girl, just don't worry, I will naturally be responsible for your affairs to the end. Do you want to bring Yuan Qianyi in too?"
"That's not necessary. Doctor Yuan doesn't know kung fu. If something is really revealed, it's not as easy for him to escape as it is for you to come and go without a trace."
The two people were talking, but unexpectedly, they were vaguely heard by people outside. Luo Yu pretended to be rummaging in the cabinet, for fear of being noticed by the people inside, but kept her ears perked.
I got up, but my heart couldn't help but pound.
How did Mo Li come in in the blink of an eye when she went out?! Even if he had to climb in through the window, he wouldn't do it so quietly...
Distraught, he took out the packet of lotus seeds and came out, and happened to meet Qingmei. He pushed the packet of lotus seeds into Qingmei's hand, and Luo Yu hurriedly said: "Miss, I want to drink lotus seed soup. I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable. You
