"What's going on? Why does it have to come to me?" Emperor Ling walked over with his hands behind his back and said to Lian Wan'er who was kneeling on the ground, "Wan'er just recovered from a serious injury not long ago, and her body is very weak.
Just stop kneeling on the ground."
These words were to remind Concubine Xue that even though Wan Ronghua was of a lower status than her, she had blocked the sword for the emperor after all. This love of sacrificing her life alone made the emperor look at her differently. In normal times, these concubines competed for favors and plotted against each other.
Well, if the matter comes to the emperor, he will not give anyone face.
"I was clumsy and said something wrong that made the imperial concubine misunderstand that I prevented her from seeing the emperor." Lian Wan'er pursed her lips, a bit of grievance flashed in her eyes, but she didn't dare to look up at the emperor, so she could only weakly
He said quietly, "I also feel sorry for the emperor, thinking that the emperor finally got some time to rest..."
Sometimes, the art of speaking lies here. Some words are half-hidden and half-hidden. It seems that the matter is explained completely, but in fact the listener can easily take it out of context. At this time, what Lian Wan'er said is obviously correct, but it is
The emperor frowned.
"Why, you, a noble concubine, are so lenient now that you even want to interfere with my rest time?" Regarding the concubines in the harem using various methods to obtain his whereabouts, this is his most taboo thing.
The thing is to point fingers in front of him.
Those in power always require absolute obedience, especially these concubines. If he can't suppress his own woman, how can he manage the entire world?
"Your Majesty, this is not what I mean." Having been with the emperor for many years, Concubine Xue naturally understood the reason for the emperor's change of attitude. Even though she was arrogant, she would never ride on the emperor's head. Now she had lost her previous momentum.
Instead, he bit his lip and explained to the emperor pitifully.
"It seems that I have been so good to you that I made you forget your identity." As for using excuses, this is Emperor Ling's specialty. Lian Wan'er opened a good game for him, so naturally he would not let Concubine Xue take it easy.
However, it was easy for him to put people in a bad position. At this moment, he just glanced at Concubine Xue lightly and said, "You are my concubine. I can give you something, or I can destroy you."
How could Concubine Xue have imagined that it was just a trivial matter that could make such a fuss out of a molehill? Naturally, she would not have thought that this was the emperor's order. At this moment, she just glared at Lian Wan'er, thinking it was her.
The emperor blew pillow wind into his ears, which made him misunderstand him like this.
"The emperor misunderstood me. I also heard that the emperor had not slept well recently, so I stewed some soup with my own hands and thought of sending it to the emperor. These soups with medicinal food should be drunk while they are hot. I heard that the emperor has misunderstood me.
The emperor is resting, so I am a little anxious." Concubine Xue Guifei is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She does not need any face in front of the emperor. Even if Wan'er is looking at her with vigour, she will not care.
.
Without the emperor's favor, even if she had the support of the Xue family and the Queen Mother as her backer, it would be of little use. She had certainly seen through these years in the palace, and those so-called backers were just the icing on the cake after all.
The only way for the palace to gain a firm foothold is the emperor's favor.
"My concubine, I don't want to talk to you about the things you do in your daily life, but just because I don't tell you doesn't mean that I don't know. You'd better restrain yourself, otherwise one day you really offend someone who shouldn't be offended.
Don't blame me for being rude." When he said this, he glanced pointedly at Lian Wan'er, who was standing silently by the side. That girl was well-behaved and knew that he would make someone just pretend to be silent.
As long as she is mute, she will have to bear the blame for all these crimes anyway.
However, even Wan'er is very open-minded. It is better to be used by the emperor than to be forgotten by the emperor. There are so many concubines in the harem, but she is the only one who is favored by the emperor and reduced to a pawn. This is her honor.
.
"Concubine..." Concubine Xue had never been humiliated by the emperor like this in front of her, but this time she couldn't say anything.
"Okay, you go back, reflect in your own palace, don't walk around during this period, and calm down." After saying that, he ignored Concubine Xue's tearful eyes, pulled Lian Wan'er and left.
lobby.
Concubine Xue stood on the spot, clenched her fists, and gritted her teeth: "Lian Wan'er, I will not let you go."
Even though Lian Wan'er didn't understand what the emperor meant by this, even if the relationship was established like this, there was no need to worry about it since it could be used by the emperor. She believed that the emperor would not treat her badly.
Sure enough, the news that Concubine Xue was banned by the emperor had just spread in the palace, and the emperor's imperial edict came over there. Wanrong Hua, who has both virtue and talent, and also has the holy will, was promoted to a noble concubine, which was directly promoted from the fifth rank.
The order came from the third level, and it came out of the blue, which really left the Sixth Palace confused.
"The emperor is trying to build momentum for you to upset the balance of the harem." The emperor went to the imperial study room to discuss matters, and Lian Wan'er stayed with Liu Yun. The two of them were sitting on the collapse table chatting.
It's not that Liu Yun knows more than Lian Wan'er, but that it's clear to all observers. Liu Yun can see clearly from the side. The emperor wants to adjust his strength, but he doesn't know whether he wants to attack the Xue family or just beat the Xue family.
, let them not be too arrogant and domineering, but from Liu Yun's point of view, the meaning of beating may be more. After all, the Xue family and the Yang family are on the same side. At this time, King An has just fallen, and the emperor will definitely not touch any big families again.
.
Thinking of this, Liu Yun couldn't help but sigh. After marrying Dongfang Ye, he would use some matters in the court as conversation topics and chat with her casually. He didn't taboo her knowing this, and even
Intentionally or unintentionally guiding her thoughts, Liu Yun sometimes really felt that Dongfang Ye was a strange guy. Other husbands expected their wives to be obedient and virtuous, and it was best not to be talented and well-behaved. He was good at talking to her about political affairs when he had nothing to do, and sometimes even
He would ask her for some opinions, and I didn't know whether to say he was broad-minded or cunning.
"Anyway, we are on the cusp of this storm." Lian Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that the emperor was playing a game of chess, and everyone in the previous harem was on the chessboard. If she could survive it, the concubine position would definitely be in her hands in the future.
If she can't survive it, it can only be said that this is her fate.
Liuyun didn't hear Lian Wan'er's sigh. All she could think about now was Dongfang Ye. She didn't know if that guy already knew her whereabouts. She hadn't seen her for a few days. She really missed her so much.
.
Of course, what she didn't know was that her disappearance this time caused Dongfang Ye to almost turn the entire capital upside down.
