Xiao Huazi thought about his exit from the main hall just now. Among the several masters, only your concubine has an heir. He asked tentatively: "Master... are you talking about your concubine? What did she do?"
After listening to Xin Bin's narration of what had just happened, Xiuzhu said calmly: "I didn't expect that your concubine would be so cruel. Master, why don't we... let's not have any contact with her. Who knows when she will push the master out?"
"What Xiuzhu said is reasonable. The master has obtained the secret recipe. He believes that he will soon be pregnant with the dragon heir. The position of the fourth concubine is not necessarily unexplored. There is really no need to rely on the concubine. She can even use her own daughter as a chess piece, and even more
Don't talk about the master."
"I know it well, but even if I want to withdraw, I will wait until I get the Taoist text." Xin Bin is very eager for the Taoist text that can make people stay youthful. If she can't get it, she will definitely die.
I don’t know the taste and I can’t sleep well.
Xiao Huazi thought for a while and said: "I am only worried about long nights and many dreams."
Xin Bin smiled slightly and stretched out her hand outside the umbrella rafter. When she could take it back, there was rainwater rolling in her palm, "What she wants to deal with is the current queen. It can't be done in a short time, so we can wait until we obtain the Taoism."
Then... do other things."
Xiuzhu asked doubtfully: "What's the matter? What does master mean?"
Xin Bin opened her fingers and let the rain flow through her fingers, "If this harem were compared to a forest, who would be the most prosperous and deep-rooted?"
Xiuzhu rolled his eyes slightly and whispered: "But the Queen?"
"Yes, as your concubine said herself, Concubine Hui got the position of the fourth concubine because she was attached to the queen. If Concubine Hui can do it, why can't I?"
Xiao Huazi hesitated and said: "But the queen has always been aloof from the master. I'm just afraid that... the master will not be able to get what he wants."
In response to his words, Xin Bin raised her lips and said: "The queen is cautious and does not use it if she is not a close confidant. Both Concubine Ying and Concubine Hui have been with her for many years. Of course she does not believe that I have rashly attached myself to her. But if I present you a big gift,
Woolen cloth?"
Xiao Huazi and Xiuzhu looked at each other and said doubtfully: "I wonder what the master means by a great gift?"
"For so many years, your concubine has wanted the queen to lose power, and the queen has not wanted her life. But neither of us had a chance. Now my concubine has no doubt that she trusts me, and it will be difficult to find faults in her."
Xiao Huazi was suddenly startled and lost his voice: "Master, do you want to exchange the order of your concubine for the queen's trust?"
Xin Bin frowned and said: "Your Majesty can use me as a chess piece, why can't I use her as a chess piece? To put it bluntly, we are just using each other. The so-called sisterhood is just a joke. Whoever has better means can laugh.
To the end.”
"But if the master is traveling with her, he will inevitably do some things that he cannot help but do. I am afraid that she will bite the master back, which will cause trouble."
"The Queen is a sensible person, and she will surely know my difficulties." Xin Bin stroked the apricot tassels on her bun, and said with a chuckle: "I was thinking about how to please the Queen before, but the result made the concubine jealous.
She was sent here to be a stepping stone for me, and her whole life of wisdom was wasted."
Xiuzhu said flatteringly: "There is a mountain higher than the mountain, so how can your concubine be the master's opponent?"
Xin Bin smiled and stopped talking, and walked all the way to Xianfu Palace. When they returned to their own palaces, Zheng Jiu also came to Kunning Palace, knelt down and said, "I want to pay my respects to the empress!"
"Get up." Xianyue took a sip of tea and said coolly: "Have everything been done?"
Zheng Jiu said guiltily: "I have failed to live up to your Majesty's expectations. Please forgive me." His words made Xianyue raise her eyebrows, "The matter has failed?"
"Going back to the empress, everything went well. The cat arranged by the slave was discovered by Miss Wei Er and was taken back, but on the concubine's side..." He gritted his teeth and said, "The slave asked Lin Changshou to pretend to have met by chance and presented the umbrella to her.
To the concubines and the others, originally
Everything went well, and her concubine took the umbrella. Later, Lin Changshou was worried and followed quietly. After only a while, her concubine ordered someone to throw the umbrella away and asked someone to pick it up again. It must have been
I noticed the smell on the umbrella.”
Xianyue wiped the water stains from the corner of her lips and said coldly: "She is careful."
Jin Ping said unwillingly: "It's a pity that the master's hard-working plan has allowed her to avoid it again. If this continues, I don't know when we will be able to drive Wei Xiuyan out of the palace."
Seeing that Xianyue was silent, Qi Kuan said softly: "Actually, the two days are quite rushed. Given time, we will be able to come up with a perfect plan to let Wei Xiuyan leave the palace; to say the least, even if she really stays for a month
, she may not be able to win the favor of the emperor, otherwise she would have done more than just praying for blessings in the Yangxin Hall last night."
Jin Ping curled his lips and said, "This girl looks even more charming than your concubine. Who knows what other tricks she will use to seduce the emperor. If you stay here one more day, you will have to worry more."
Xianyue suddenly said: "Zheng Jiu, did you follow my instructions and put catnip on the umbrella handle?"
"Everything is in accordance with the master's instructions." As soon as Zheng Jiu finished speaking, Xianyue asked again: "Did your concubine touch the umbrella before throwing it away?"
"This..." Zheng Jiu tried hard to recall Lin Changshou's words, and said: "According to Changshou's words, the person who took the umbrella should be Mao Gui next to your concubine. Your concubine has not personally touched the umbrella."
"Mao Gui..." Xia Yue read the name slowly and suddenly smiled, "He is the confidant of your concubine and never leaves her side. In this way, it will be the same as having personal contact with your concubine. Let's wait and see.
Let’s play.”
Zheng Jiu said in confusion: "I forgive you for being stupid and not understanding your master's intentions."
"Things like catnip will be contaminated once they come into contact. People may not be able to smell it, but cats can definitely smell it. Back then, Su used this method to harm Yong Lian. Although at that moment, I protected Yong Lian.
Lian was safe, but in the end, he failed to protect him, so he died early."
Qi Kuan was afraid that Xianyue's worries would harm her body, so he quickly advised: "Master has tried his best. Prince Duanhui is alive in heaven, so he will not blame Master."
"I'm fine." With that said, Xianyue said to Zheng Jiu: "Send someone to keep an eye on Yongshou Palace. As soon as there is news, report it immediately."
Zheng Jiu hesitated and said: "I'm sorry to ask, but even if the cat gets excited after smelling catnip, it will only attack Mao Gui and will not harm your concubine."
Xianyue smiled slightly and said: "Mao Gui never leaves Wei Jingxuan's side. If the cat suddenly gets up and attacks Mao Gui, Wei Jingxuan is right next to her. She will be caught off guard and will be frightened. I have asked the imperial physician of the Song Dynasty. With Wei Jingxuan's current month, as long as she has a little
Being frightened can cause contractions, leading to premature birth.”
Hearing this, Zheng Jiu's frown suddenly relaxed and he said respectfully: "I will send someone to keep an eye on the Yongshou Palace. I will retire."
