After the banquet, the Queen Mother took Murong Wei and Su Er back to the palace. They had not seen each other for more than ten years, so the Queen Mother naturally had a lot to say to Murong Wei.
Murong Xi finally got together with Murong Qian, and the two naturally started chatting in Ningxi Hall.
It's not surprising that the two of them are together now. After all, Murong Qian was also by Su'er's side on the day she got her hairpin. Being able to get along with Murong Xi would not arouse anyone's suspicion.
"I heard that you suffered from heat stroke?" Murong said with a slight smile. The tone of his words did not sound like he was concerned at all, but he felt that Murong Xi must be faking it.
Murong Xi rolled his eyes and said, "Do you care about me?"
Murong Xi said softly: "I'm afraid that you might accidentally torture the Yuan Emperor's noble concubine to death first."
After Mo'er heard the conversation between the two masters, she slipped out. Because Mao would do this every time the two of them talked, she really couldn't stay any longer.
"No, isn't she still alive and kicking? How could she be tortured to death by me when she is flexible and flexible? But I was tortured by her so much that I got a heat stroke." Murong Xi looked at Murong Qian aggrievedly and said.
"Stop, don't feel wronged by me, I don't believe a word of it." Murong Qian knew Murong Xi too well.
If she didn't want some interest back, she wouldn't have fainted at the door of Xianfu Palace.
"Smelly girl, let's see if I don't beat you to death." Murong Xi said but Murong Qian wanted to use force to solve the problem.
Murong Qian couldn't beat her, so she had to hide. Fortunately, her master had the foresight to let her learn Qing Kung Fu, otherwise Murong Xi wouldn't have beaten her to death.
The two sisters were playing table tennis in the house. Mo'er pretended not to hear and sat at the door. Aunt Yu asked: "Miss Mo'er, what happened inside?"
"Auntie, don't worry, they are discussing."
“…..”
Two days later, Murong Xi went to Biyun Palace to pay homage to Concubine Shu.
"Xi'er has met Concubine Shu." Murong Xi said happily.
"Xi'er, it's time to meet you. You asked me to call you Xi'er, and then you changed my name to Concubine Shu. What's the point of this?" Concubine Shu said pretending to be angry.
"Xier, could you please call me Concubine Shu?" Murong Xi said with a smile.
"Okay. Xi'er, please sit down quickly." Concubine Shu smiled, and she smiled very happily.
"Ya'er, come and pay homage to the eldest imperial sister." Concubine Shu waved her hand, and a beautiful eight-year-old girl next to her walked forward.
"Ya'er has met the eldest emperor sister." The child said with a sweet voice and a smile.
"Ya'er, this is what my sister gave you." Murong Xi asked Mo'er to take out the things and put them in Murong Ya's hands.
What Murong Xi gave was a purse, which contained several gems and a string of bracelets. After taking it, Murong Ya opened the purse. Seeing that the things inside were very delicate, she looked at her mother-in-law.
Concubine Shu was surprised when she saw it and said: "Xier, Ya'er is a child, your gift is a bit expensive."
"I don't know what Ya'er likes, so I gave her some things that my little daughter likes. Why are they so expensive? Just keep them. This is Xi'er's first meeting gift for her sister." Murong Xi shook her head and said.
.
Concubine Shu was no longer polite to Murong Xi, so she said: "Ya'er, please accept it. Thank you, eldest sister."
"Sister, Ya'er likes it very much. Thank you."
Imperial Sister." Murong Ya was very sensible. Seeing that her mother and concubine agreed to accept it, she thanked Murong Xi.
"Ya'er, you go play first. My mother-in-law and your eldest sister have something to say." After saying that, he glanced at the nanny beside him. When she took Murong Ya out, she left the room.
All the maids inside were sent out.
"Concubine Shu, why are you so serious about this matter?" Murong Xi asked with some confusion.
"Xi'er, the Imperial Palace told you that day that I am the Queen's sister. You must be wondering why, since she is a sister, she suddenly entered the Palace a year after her sister's death, right?"
His voice was slightly sad and he spoke slowly.
"Xi'er doesn't think so. After all, there are some things that you can't help yourself." Murong Xi thought for a while and said. You must know that in order to consolidate the status of a large family, the easiest way is to send the legitimate daughter of the family into the palace as a concubine. Women in ancient times
There is nothing you can do about never being able to control your own destiny.
"Well, I was very close to your mother back then, and we had a lot to talk about since we were children. Even after your mother entered the palace, I would often accompany her. I have always known about the ambition of Concubine Yuan Huang, and I have also
I reminded your mother many times, but she didn't listen at all. After that, she rarely entered the palace. However, after I heard that she was pregnant, I still went to the palace to visit her once. I saw that the emperor took care of her.
With this, I am naturally relieved. Who knew that such a big thing would happen when your mother gave birth." Empress Shufei recalled.
She seemed to have fallen into the sadness of that year, and after a while she continued: "After I heard this, I couldn't believe it was true. Let's not talk about the news of your disappearance. I was pregnant during the Queen's pregnancy.
I went to visit her and found that she was always in good health. How could she die in childbirth? I don’t believe it, but I can’t easily enter the palace without the Queen. I have no choice but to go to the Prime Minister’s Mansion to ask for an audience with the Prime Minister’s wife.
There must be something she will know. What I didn't expect is..." When Concubine Shu said this, her eye circles were already slightly red.
After looking at Murong Xi, he continued:
"What I didn't expect was that the Prime Minister's wife didn't care at all about the reason why the Queen died in childbirth. Her original words were that she was gone anyway. Besides, hadn't the imperial doctor already confirmed that she died in childbirth? How could it be?
That's wrong. Just like that, I left the Prime Minister's Mansion without getting any news.
Who would have thought that I would later find out that the Empress not only gave birth to a little prince, but also had a princess who was living abroad. This made me even more suspicious that something was fishy about the Empress. I don’t know what happened here.
What, I planned everything and wanted to uncover the truth myself. So, regardless of the opposition of my family, I entered the palace and became the emperor's concubine a year later." When Empress Shu Fei said this, she looked a little pale.
.
"Concubine Shu actually entered the palace for the sake of the queen?" Murong Xi asked incredulously. Does this person really have such a strong friendship with the queen? In order to help his mother and concubine seek justice, he locked himself in this cage.
among.
"Xi'er may not believe it. I am very useless. Over the years, I can't find any clues. I don't know how much you know about the cause of the queen's death, and I don't know whether your relationship with the Yuan Emperor's concubine is the same.
Really. So, after you entered the palace, I haven’t come to see you for a long time. I want to tell you the truth, I suspect Concubine Yuan Huang. I am afraid that you will be betrayed by her.
I was deceived by my false feelings, so I came to you anxiously." Concubine Shu looked at Murong Xi worriedly, her eyes full of pity.
Murong Xi was obviously moved and admired Concubine Shu's actions. So he said: "Xi'er thanks Concubine Shu for her love for her mother. Xi'er admires Concubine Shu very much."
"But it's useless for me. I can't find any evidence at all." Concubine Shu said darkly.
Next, Murong Xi went to Concubine Shu's place to chat for several days in a row. No, Murong Xi went to Concubine Shu's place again. They were chatting and Murong Xi suddenly asked: "Does Concubine Shu have a mother?"
portrait?"
"I do have a portrait of the Empress when she was still in the boudoir. Please wait a moment." Concubine Shu did not send any maids to look for it, but went to the bedroom in person and found the portrait.
Concubine Shu carefully opened the portrait, and everyone was shocked when they saw it. The queen back then was so beautiful, so beautiful. However, Murong Xi was very curious, who painted the person in the painting so lifelike. This
Every frown and every smile was subtle. And Mo'er had indeed seen Murong Xi's true appearance, so what surprised her was not how beautiful the Queen was, but how similar the Queen was to their lady. She was really her biological child.
Mother and daughter, apart from the young lady being a bit naughty, the rest of them are exactly the same.
Murong Xi asked: "Shu Mufei, do you know who made this portrait?"
Concubine Shu smiled slightly, and then said: "Of course it is your father. Who else can paint the Empress so vividly? I found this portrait among the old things in Fengluan Hall. After bringing it back,
, I will keep it here forever.”
"My mother is so beautiful," Murong Xi said while looking at the portrait.
"I wonder what Xi'er wants the queen's portrait for?" Concubine Shu asked in confusion.
"Concubine Shu will know about it when the time comes. Then we will need Concubine Shu's cooperation." Murong Xi said mysteriously.
Concubine Shu was amused by Murong Xi's appearance, so she said: "You, you, you are so weird."
"Xi'er won't stay here any longer. Xi'er will take the portrait away first. When the time comes when Concubine Shu is needed to cooperate, Xi'er will let someone notify you in advance." After Murong Xi finished speaking, he walked out.
.
At this time, after Empress Shu sent Murong Xi away, her eyes became extremely cold. How could she still have the warmth she had just seen Murong Xi? Empress Shu's face was very twisted, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Li, he was shouting in his heart: Yuan Xiner, just wait to take the attack, I will let you die without a burial place!
After returning to Ningxi Palace, Mo'er asked worriedly: "Miss, do you really want to cooperate with Concubine Shu to get rid of the noble concubine Yuan Huang? Do you think Concubine Shu's words are credible?"
"Haha, if there is no cooperation from her, how can we get the Yuanhuang Imperial Concubine to tell the truth? Of course, the words of Concubine Shu cannot be fully believed. We sent someone to find out why she insisted on entering the palace back then. I always feel that something is a little fishy."
Murong Xi said slowly.
After Mo'er said yes, he contacted the people from Anxiang Pavilion to investigate the matter.
After a few days, Murong Xi asked Mo'er to send a note to Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu asked: "Is this possible?"
"Don't worry, Madam, Your Highness the Princess has her own clever tricks." After Mo'er said this, he left Concubine Shu's palace.
