Chapter 136 Lobbying the Prince
When the palace maid Youxia came again, Yun Xihe asked someone to bring her plan to the palace.
You Xia is now quite favored in the palace, and she is unparalleled among all the new concubines who have entered the palace. Now she is Xia Concubine. Of course, the Queen is also responsible for this.
Queen Xu had been trapped for too long and was really too eager to get over. You Xia just bribed the maid who delivered meals to the Queen's palace, and accidentally revealed a few words, saying that the new Xia Chang was here,
My ancestor was once the housekeeper of Xue Guogong's mansion. The queen gave her an olive branch without hesitation.
After all, she was her bedfellow. Over the years, the Queen knew the Emperor's preferences thoroughly and told You Xia everything from the bottom of her heart.
With these, Youxia easily won the emperor's favor.
And the prince, under her deliberate provocation, had already become obsessed with her.
"That's it..."
Youxia carefully read the words on the note, then reached out and flicked the candle on the side with burning eyes. Seeing the flames licking and engulfing the note, she slightly raised the corners of her lips and smiled, "It's really wonderful.
Already."
After she learned about the plan, she started to add fuel to the flames.
The prince now enters the palace more diligently.
When the emperor saw that he was just running to Kunning Palace and did not come to him to mention the marriage to Yun Wangshu, he was happy to have his leisure time and let him go.
On this day, Qin Junze and Empress Xue finalized the content of another secret letter. They were about to leave the palace to find someone to forge the handwriting of King Xuan. When they met, a palace maid rushed over in a hurry. His entourage raised his hand and stopped the little palace maid, "Walk."
Long eyes! Don’t rush into the prince!”
"Yes! This servant is reckless. Your Highness, please spare my life." The little palace lady's face turned pale and she begged for mercy again and again.
When she raised her head, she revealed a white, tender and pitiful little face, which stunned the attendant and made him unable to be more forceful.
"Are you from Xia's palace?" Qin Junze naturally saw the appearance of this palace maid, and always felt that it was very familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered that this was the personal palace maid who was accompanying Youxia.
"Yes, yes, your servant Shui Lian, His Highness the Crown Prince's wise eyes!" Shui Lian shivered with fear, but her eyes looked as if she had seen a life-saving straw, "Please, Your Highness the Crown Prince, please save my mother-in-law!"
Shui Lian kept kowtowing and praying, her little face bursting with tears.
The prince couldn't stand the weak appearance of women, and what the little palace maid wanted was You Xia, who made him scratch his head. He couldn't help but feel his heart twitching, "Tell me carefully, what's wrong with Xia Concubine?"
Already?"
Shui Lian raised her head, "Our empress fell into the water at Changmen Palace..."
Changmen Palace is the westernmost palace in the imperial palace. It is the palace where the abandoned concubines of the previous dynasty lived. It has long been abandoned. Yun Xihe and Qin Xuanling even caught leeches there.
Of course Qin Junze also knew that it was not a good place, so he immediately turned cold and said, "What are you still doing? Lead the way!"
"Yes Yes!"
Shui Lian breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and ran towards the west, thinking that she finally did not miss her.
At first, Shui Lian was still leading the way with small steps in front. Later, Qin Junze could no longer bear his temper. He stretched out his hand to push Shui Lian away and rushed into the deserted Changmen Palace.
The water in the pond was not deep, but because it had not been cleaned for a long time, it was very scary. Youxia just stood in the water with arms folded, enduring the bites of the leeches.
After a while, when she heard the hurried footsteps and saw the figure, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her eyes were full of pity, and she called out, "Your Highness, you are finally here..."
....”
Qin Junze hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull the person out, and immediately shouted to Shuilian, "Go and ask for the imperial doctor!"
Youxia wanted to take advantage of the situation and faint in his arms, but when she heard him shouting like this, she quickly raised her hand to stop her, "Your Highness, don't!"
Are you kidding? If she looked like this, if she went to ask the imperial doctor and everyone in Hegong saw it, would she still be alive? Besides, her goal is the prince. How can she finally have the ability to speak?
Let someone disturb you!
Youxia hid in his arms and trembled, "Your Highness, I'm so scared! I don't want to see anyone, can you hug me? This palace is too scary. Except for Your Highness, Youxia can't believe anyone!"
Qin Junze hugged her tighter, "But I'm afraid you'll get hurt!"
Youxia blushed and pointed to the abandoned wing aside, "If Your Highness is worried, please go inside and check for Youxia!"
Shuilian on the side blinked and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, please help me to take care of the empress. I will go back to the palace to get some clean clothes for the empress."
The entourage led by Qin Junze was also very busy and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, please go down and guard the door."
In the hall, Youxia Xiaoniao was lying in Qin Junze's arms. The water-colored hair did not damage her beauty. The few strands of wet hair sticking to her cheeks added a touch of delicate charm to her.
, she blushed and pulled up her skirt, letting Qin Junze check the horrific wound on her leg.
Qin Junze felt that his heart was about to break, "What is going on? Who harmed you like this?"
You Xia's face didn't change color, and she opened her mouth sadly,
"...It's Concubine Jing. The weather has been getting hot recently in Youxia, and His Highness can't always stay by the Queen's side to fulfill his filial piety, so he thought of sending some summer food to the Queen's Palace for His Highness. Who can
I knew it, but Concubine Jing saw it, and she insulted me with insults..."
"what did she say?"
"It's said that Youxia came from a small family, no wonder he only flatters and flatters you! It's just that he worshiped the wrong gate, and he has never been able to get ahead with the Queen! It's okay that Youxia suffered some insults, but how innocent is the Queen? And
Xia was not angry enough, so he had a few words of separation with her, and today she pretended to pass on the Queen's instructions and tricked Xia Yu here..."
Qin Junze really took the bait, "What a good concubine Jing! She deserves to die! Don't worry, Gu Dingran will vent your anger for you!"
He was still thinking in his heart that Youxia was so kind. If he didn't have him in his heart, why would he take care of his mother like this? And he suffered such an unreasonable disaster because of it!
And that concubine Jing is so bold. If it weren't for her, how could the queen mother be grounded? She's simply arrogant!
Youxia lowered her eyes, stretched out her hands to hug the prince tighter, and then continued to seduce him.
"Your Highness, You Xia's grievance is nothing. You Xia just feels sorry for His Highness. Concubine Jing also said that the Emperor is quite disappointed with His Highness now and has already planned to change the Second Prince to the Crown Prince during his coronation ceremony.
"
"What! Father, he never said anything about this!"
"Your Highness, please don't panic. Your Majesty is the Emperor after all. If Concubine Jing dares to say this, she probably got some information from the Emperor..."
Qin Junze's face turned green and white, and he stood up suddenly. Youxia was caught off guard and fell down on the couch, "Ah..."
He originally thought that the Yun family and Prince Xuan were stumbling blocks to his position as crown prince, but Xia's words suddenly made him understand that the person who could really decide his life or death with one sentence was his father.
