As for the Changchun Palace, Mao Gui saw the two maids entering and left. Little did he know that there was one more person in the Changchun Palace at this moment.
The round-faced palace maid from before was now standing in front of Mrs. Hu with her head lowered, and said respectfully: "Master, according to your instructions, I deliberately let Mao Gui hear the words of Miss Wei Er and Guang Xiuyuan to attract him.
After asking, he avoided talking about it, and he followed the two slaves all the way to the outside of Changchun Palace."
After signaling the two of them to go down, Mrs. Hu smiled and said to Xiayue who was sitting on the left: "Your Majesty is really clever. She anticipated every step of your concubine and took a preemptive strike. From the looks of it, Doctor Wang should be safe."
Xianyue stroked the blue and white porcelain cup in her hand and said in a low voice: "I hope so. It's my fault for my carelessness. I couldn't hold it back in front of the emperor last night. Wei Xiuyan has been in Guangxiu Garden for two months, but there is not even a hint of news in the palace.
Hearing this, it can be seen that the emperor must have issued a ban, and now I suddenly know that apart from Xiao Wu and Huang Ying, the emperor's first suspect must be your concubine, and sure enough, the emperor summoned her overnight."
"So the empress immediately took Qi Kuan to find the guards, and asked the concubines to cooperate in the play to conceal the true identity of Doctor Wang." After saying this, Mrs. Hu hesitated and said: "The emperor... really accepted it.
Wei Xiuyan?"
Hearing this, Xianyue rubbed her temples and said tiredly: "I also hope that this matter is false, but the emperor has already admitted it himself."
Mrs. Hu sighed and said: The emperor has always been wise, but why is he so... confused this time? Who is Wei Xiuyan? How could he accept her? For this reason, he gave the Wei family so many rewards. What on earth is the emperor thinking? "
"After I asked Qi Kuan to arrange the affairs of the guards, I went to invite Prince He into the palace. I hope I can ask him something." After saying this, Xia Yue said with a worried look on her face: "I am really worried at the moment.
Iām more worried about you.ā
Mrs. Hu was surprised and said: "Worried about my concubine? Why did the empress say this?"
"I used you to divert your concubine's attention, but with her temperament, she will never let it go. She will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble. The most likely thing is to spread this matter, let the emperor know about it, and Wei Xiuyan
You are the one who should inform me about this matter, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the Emperor will blame you."
Mrs. Hu was silent for a moment and said: "There is nothing we can do about this. It is better for my concubine to be punished than to expose Dr. Wang. As for the emperor, it should just be a reprimand. The empress does not need to worry."
Xianyue shook her head and said: "I'm afraid this matter won't be solved so easily, and no one knows how big the trouble will be in the future."
In response to her words, Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "Even if this is the case, isn't there still a queen who is helping me? I don't think it will be a big deal."
Although Xianyue was still worried, she could only take one step at a time. When she returned to Kunning Palace, Hong Zhou was already there. After a greeting, Hong Zhou bowed and said, "I don't know what the Queen has said."
Sir, come here, what are your orders?"
Xianyue helped Jinping's hand to sit down and said: "Do you still remember that I asked you why the emperor suddenly showed up to the Wei family?"
Hong Zhou frowned, "In that case, I still want to ask about that matter, sir..."
"I already know the reasons, including the fact that Wei Xiuyan is now placed in Guangxiu Garden. I have called you here to ask you, why are you hiding such an important matter from me?"
Hong Zhou suddenly raised his head and said in disbelief: "Does the empress know?" This matter has been tightly hidden for many years, how could Xianyue suddenly know about it?
"Yes, the emperor has told me the cause and effect, and I finally understand what the prince said at the beginning. Everything the emperor does is for my own good." Of course, Xianyue didn't know, she just wanted to use this to trick her out.
That's all Hong Zhou said, "The emperor... doesn't like Wei Xiuyan. The reason why is just because she is somewhat useful."
Hong Zhou suddenly stood there. How could Hong Li suddenly tell Xianyue about Yong Cang? Wasn't he always afraid that Xianyue wouldn't be able to accept this blow? Well, wait, Xianyue regards Yong Cang as her lifeblood. If she knew
Yongxing's life is about to end, and it is impossible to remain like this
Calm down, and since Hongli had concealed it for twelve years, he would never tell Xianyue about it unless he had to, and when he went to court, Hongli did not show anything strange, let alone keep him;
No, this is wrong no matter how you think about it!
Hong Zhou tried to calm down and thought carefully about what Xianyue said just now. Yes, her words were always ambiguous. Except for Wei Xiuyan's placement in Guangxiu Garden, she never said anything specific. If
His guess was correct, Xianyue... probably only knew about Hongli's acceptance of Wei Xiuyan, and the rest was unknown.
After he thought about it, Hongli leaned forward in his chair and said, "If I want to ask you something from my mouth, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
Xianyue's pupils shrank suddenly, and she asked herself that her words were so perfect that they could be false, so how could Hong Zhou know that what she said was a lie?
She suppressed the shock in her heart and said: "What the prince said is strange. I already know everything you need to know. Is there anything else I want to ask from you?"
Hong Zhou took a deep look at her and said, "Your Majesty, I do know that Wei Xiuyan lives in Guangxiu Garden, but I still don't know the reason."
Xianyue's hand holding the handkerchief tightened suddenly, and she pretended to be calm and said: "What the prince said is funny. If I don't know the reason, how could I say that."
Hong Zhou sighed lowly and said: "Empress, listen to me, don't ask any more questions or pursue it any further. In short, as I said before, no matter what the emperor does, it is all for the sake of your Majesty and..."
He swallowed the words "twelfth brother" alive and changed his words: "It's all for the good of the queen."
Xianyue calmly remembered his strangeness in her heart, and said slowly: "Your Majesty has good eyesight, and he can see through my thoughts so quickly. But please forgive me for asking, if you are in a different place, how can your Majesty do it?"
Do you want to hear it?"
Hong Zhou was speechless by her question. After a while, he stood up and said: "I know it is difficult to hold back this curiosity, but... please forgive me for my inability to do anything!"
"Are you really not allowed to say a word?" Facing Xianyue's words, Hong Zhou lowered his eyes and said, "When the time is right, your Majesty will know."
This conversation still ended unhappily. Although Hong Zhou remained silent, Xianyue finally got some clues. When he said that Hong Li was good for her, there was also the word "å" at the end.
Obviously there was another person besides her, but she couldn't figure out the identity of that person for a moment. Was it Concubine Ying, Concubine Hui, or another person?
