While she was talking, Qiaoyu walked in. Fu Yifu didn't say anything. Wei Jingxuan glanced at her and said, "Have you heard about it?"
"My slave asked someone to get some news from Eunuch Huang. He said..." Qiaoyu glanced at Ning and did not continue.
Ning raised an eyebrow and said, "Eunuch Huang? Are you Huang Ying from Yangxin Hall?" After Qiaoyu nodded, she asked, "What did Huang Ying say? Is it related to your master?"
"This..." Qiaoyu hesitated and did not dare to continue. Wei Jingxuan glanced at her and said, "Shenbi is not an outsider, so just go ahead and say it."
"Yes." Qiaoyu responded and said accordingly: "Eunuch Huang said that on the night when the emperor agreed to the empress' request to adopt Princess He Ke to Empress Shen Bin, the empress went to the Yangxin Hall and asked about He Ke.
After the adoption of the princess, it was said that the empress was cold-hearted
He was so stubborn that he adopted his biological daughter to someone else because he was tired of taking care of her. It was really not the behavior of a loving mother. Although the emperor didn't say anything, he seemed to agree with the queen's words. From that time on, the emperor... never told the story again.
Call the empress to go and sleep with you."
Before Wei Jingxuan could say anything, Ning was already surprised and said: "What are you talking about? Since He Ke went to Jingyang Palace with me, the emperor has never summoned his concubine again?"
Qiaoyu said helplessly: "Replying to the queen, it is indeed the case. The master went to ask for an audience several times, but he also encountered a soft nail. The master felt that there was something secret about this matter, so he asked the slave to inquire many times. Only now did he know the truth
It was the Empress who was causing trouble, and the Empress really never forgets her master."
Wei Jingxuan smiled bitterly and said: "The emperor has always obeyed the queen's advice. She said that I am cold-hearted, and the emperor naturally listened to her, thus neglecting me."
Ning's expression darkened, and she said coldly: "My sister pitied me for having no children for many years, and was afraid that I would not take good care of He Ke, so I just gave He Ke to me to raise. I have been sending him many things these days, and I love He Ke."
It's too late for Keshang to say that he is cold-hearted and hard-hearted. What the Queen said is really unfair."
Wei Jingxuan sighed and said: "She is the queen, so naturally she can do whatever she says. How can we compete with her."
Ning snorted softly and then said, "What are your plans, sister?"
Wei Jingxuan said with a look of helplessness: "What else can be done is to wait for the emperor to calm down."
Ning said anxiously: "How long will it take to wait? What if the emperor is angry for a year and a half?" After saying that, she stood up and said: "Let's go, you and I will go to the Yangxin Hall to explain the matter clearly to the emperor."
Wei Jingxuan shook her head and said: "It's useless, let alone how we explain knowing this matter, just talk about the matter..." She said sadly: "Sister, you have been in the palace much longer than me, you should understand very well
, one sentence from the Queen is worth ten or a hundred of our words. Even if we go today, we will only return in vain, without a single one.
Even if it is good, it will arouse the emperor's disgust; do you still remember what happened to the ninth elder brother? Obviously I was killed by the Yehenala family, and the emperor also knew it, but because of the queen, the emperor always kept me in the Yongshou Palace.
, was not released until the 18th year of Qianlong's reign. I really don't want to think back to those days of house arrest."
Ning was stunned for a moment, then sat down slumped, "I have always known that the Queen is in power, but I didn't expect that she is so narrow-minded and refuses to see us feel any better."
"It can only be said that my sister doesn't know the Queen well enough. It has been twenty years since I entered the palace, and I have been living in her shadow. I saw her forcing the late Queen to death and killing Corriette.
The Su family also forced the Jin family to be banished to the cold palace. The sixth elder brother had never seen his biological mother even when he was so old. The third elder brother was also relegated to the cold palace.
She was imprisoned in the clan's mansion for more than ten years." At this point, she said bitterly: "Sister, I'm afraid, I'm really afraid of the queen. I'm afraid that if I make a little mistake, I will be in a situation where I will never recover.
Compared with this, I would rather suffer some grievances, at least I can live a peaceful life, and He Jing and the little princess will not lose my mother."
"It's really hard for you." Mrs. Ning said pitifully, and then said angrily: "She is indeed very capable. She went from being a powerless and unfavored prince to being the mother of the world today, but you don't have to be too afraid of her.
, I will definitely
Help you. As for this matter... It is indeed wrong to go to see the emperor directly like this, but it is not an option to let the emperor ignore you. You have always been resourceful, why don't you think about it, maybe there will be a way to get the best of both worlds. "
Wei Jingxuan said gratefully: "Thank you sister for thinking about me so much. I really don't know how to thank you."
"If you trust me sincerely, I will naturally do my best to help you. Whether it is this matter or in the future, as long as you ask, I will definitely help you."
Wei Jingxuan's eyes filled with tears and she said: "With these words from my sister, I will have no regrets in this life."
After sending Ning away, Wei Jingxuan calmed down her expression, stared at Qiaoyu and said, "Did Huang Ying really say that?"
"I dare not deceive my master. This is indeed what the person I entrusted to me told me. The queen has been keeping an eye on our Yongshou Palace and is unwilling to let the master live easily. As for what the second young lady said before, the queen may have had a hand in it. Otherwise, how could the emperor do it?"
I don’t care about any love at all.”
Wei Jingxuan sneered: "The more she wants me to die, the more I want to live well and see who has the last laugh."
Mao Gui changed a cup of tea for him and said: "Master, Concubine Shen is right. You really need to find a way to deal with this matter as soon as possible. You cannot let the emperor be so neglected."
"Of course I know." Wei Jingxuan stroked her forehead and said slowly: "If you can't speak bluntly, you can only do it in a roundabout way to make the emperor believe that I am not a hard-hearted person." After that, she turned to Qiaoyu and said: "
Who is the person you entrusted to question Huang Ying?"
"He's a fellow slave. He used to work with Huang Ying in the service room. The two of them had a pretty good relationship. Thanks to him coming forward this time, Eunuch Huang is willing to say this."
Wei Jingxuan nodded and said: "I will send ten taels of gold over later. As for Huang Ying, when the time is right, prepare a gift to send him. We must firmly win him over to our side. For us, the first
The first thing that matters is the people at Yangxin Palace, and the second is Kunning Palace."
"My slave understands." With Qiaoyu's agreement, the main hall became quiet, and only the sound of the self-ringing clock "tick-tock" and "tick-tock" was recalled in the hall...
In the days that followed, neglect still followed Yongshou Palace like a shadow. Some people in the palace were secretly laughing at Wei Jingxuan. Although the latter had won over Ning and the others, there would never be less people in the palace who took pleasure in others' misfortunes. What's more,
He even mocked Wei Jingxuan in front of her.
Because of this matter, Xin Bin came to comfort her several times, but she was at a loss as to how to change the current predicament.
