Their conversation made Xia Qing and others look puzzled. When Xianyue saw them like this, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Don't you understand? Concubine Ying is pretending to be a conspirator with Concubine Shu!"
Xia Qing was suddenly stunned and asked doubtfully: "If this is the case, why does she still persuade the empress to go to the Temple of Heaven to pray for rain? Shouldn't she try to dissuade her and report Concubine Shu's conspiracy to the emperor?"
"There is no proof. Even if I tell the emperor, I will not blame Concubine Shu seriously. Besides..." Mrs. Hu sighed quietly and said: "At that time, all the officials had already reported to the emperor. Concubine Hui felt that it was really okay for the empress to escape blindly.
?”
"But at least it will be much more stable." Faced with Xia Qing's words, Mrs. Hu nodded and said: "I do not deny what Concubine Hui said, but I also do not deny one sentence - if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs!"
"The most criticized thing about the empress has always been her birth. Because of this, whether it is the former empress, Concubine Shu, or the Wei family, they have repeatedly made an issue of the empress's origin. If this matter is not resolved, even if it is avoided,
What happened this time will happen again, and who can guarantee that we can avoid it every time? Rather than being so passive,
It's better to be a guest and make up for the lack of family background with virtue." At this point, Mrs. Hu smiled and said: "My concubines have already heard about what happened yesterday. The people were grateful for the empress's kindness and kowtowed all the way. They were just like a living Bodhisattva.
Normally; in the future, whoever dares to say that the empress is a disaster star will be beaten to death by the people of the capital immediately!"
"What if it didn't rain yesterday? Have you ever thought about this problem?" Faced with Xianyue's question, Mrs. Hu lowered her eyes and said, "I have thought about it, even if it didn't rain, as long as the queen can endure it, the situation will not be the same.
Too bad; no more than a concubine
Admit it, I did push you into a gambling game without your knowledge. I committed the crime and deceived you. If your Majesty wants to be punished, I am willing to accept it." As she said, she
He knelt down on his knees.
"I have always thought that your concubine is a prudent person, but I didn't expect that she would be so bold." As he spoke, his eyes fell on the engraved silver double butterfly steps on Hu's bun. Since Yongjue's death, Hu's ornaments have been simple.
The silver jewelry and the beautiful gold and jade jewelry were all put away by her.
Mrs. Hu smiled bitterly and said: "I have never thought about it myself, but I don't regret the gamble yesterday. If I had to do it all over again, I would still make the same choice!"
Xianyue sighed quietly, "I understand that if I were in your position, I would do the same thing." After saying that, she leaned forward a little and helped Mrs. Hu herself, "Thank you very much.
I am willing to believe in me, and I would like to thank you for solving my worries so that I no longer have to worry about someone making a fuss about my background in the future."
Mrs. Hu lowered her head and smiled and said: "I'll tell you the truth, when I just heard from Yehenala that the empress was related to the deaths of Concubine Hui and Yongjue, I was indeed very angry, and I was almost persuaded by her to want to deal with the empress.
Fortunately, with Concubine Hui, they pulled back from the brink and realized who really deserved to die; so they pretended to be persuaded by Concubine Shu and worked with her to deal with the empress. First, they could learn about her plot, and second, they could take the opportunity to capture her evidence!
"
Xianyue said happily: "It's hard for you to keep the spiritual platform a little clear without being taken advantage of by Concubine Shu."
"Although I am a little confused, I can still tell who is good to me and who is not good to me. Yehenala is the one who deserves to die. In fact... that day, the empress and Concubine Hui were in the imperial garden.
While you were talking, I was standing behind a tree not far away and heard your conversation."
Xianyue was silent for a while and said, "Are you angry with me?"
"A little, but I understand that if something happens to Yongyi, you and Concubine Hui will feel no less sad than I do."
"It's hard for you." After saying this, Xianyue said: "You have already laid out your plan now, but you have already found a way to deal with Concubine Shu?"
"That's right." Mrs. Hu said with cold eyes: "I took the opportunity to trick Concubine Shu last night and learned that she would send those who incited civil unrest out of the capital early this morning. Among the nine gates of the capital, there is a city
The gatekeepers of the gate are close friends of Yehenala's Amma, so they will go through that gate; once they leave the capital, it will be difficult to find them again."
Xia Qing glanced at the sky outside and said, "So, haven't they all left the city by now?"
Mrs. Hu smiled strangely and said, "Concubine Shu, I think...if everything goes well, those people should have been stopped."
Xianyue said in surprise: "Oh? You spread the news? But the palace door was closed last night, how did you spread the news? If you send it out early today, I'm afraid it's too late to stop those people.
"
Mrs. Hu lowered his head and smiled and said: "I dare not hide it from you, my concubine. I bribed a guard who was on duty that night and asked him to deliver my concubine's letter to my father when he returned from duty, so that I could be one step ahead of Yehenala's family.
Although this may be somewhat dangerous, time is so tight that I really can’t think of a better way.”
While they were talking, someone from the palace came in to report that it was Li Si who asked to see him. When Mrs. Hu heard this, she quickly said: "Madam, I sent Li Si to find out the exact information this morning. He will come here now and he will find out everything clearly."
Already."
Xianyue nodded and signaled the palace servants to call Li Si in. After the latter called Qian'er, he said to Hu with some excitement: "The master received a letter from the guard last night and found out that they would leave from Chaoyang Gate."
, so we sent people there to intercept them early in the morning, and then sent them anonymously to Shuntian Mansion. At this moment, those people are being tried in Shuntian Mansion!"
"Okay!" Mrs. Hu said excitedly: "This is really a network of heaven and earth. It is not leaking out. Concubine Shu, let me see where she will escape this time!"
"Concubine Shu's energy is exhausted." Saying this, Xianyue said with some worry: "However, you, concubine, were also involved in this matter. If Concubine Shu is investigated, I am worried that you will also be in danger."
Mrs. Hu quickly said: "This is why I am here. Although I have tried my best to avoid showing up directly, as the empress said, it is somewhat involved. Therefore, if Concubine Shu bites me and refuses to let go, please invite empress
Please give me a few kind words for my concubine!"
Xianyue smiled and said: "You have helped me so much, how could I not help you? You can rest assured about this."
"Thank you so much, Madam." Hearing what she said, a big stone fell in Hu's heart. No one knew the position of Xianyue in Hongli's heart better than her. One sentence she said for herself was better than ten or hundreds of others.
.
Seeing that they had finished talking about their business, Xia Qing knelt down to Mr. Hu and said with some guilt: "I just wronged my Majesty, please forgive me."
