At this time, in Queen Mother Yang's palace, Concubine Xue Guifei and Yang Xin were sitting beside Queen Mother Yang's bed.
"You are so bold. Do you dare to mess around with the people in the emperor's palace?" Since that day she had a falling out with the emperor, Empress Dowager Yang has been bedridden. Now lying on the bed, she looks much older.
No one of the two people whom she scolded dared to raise their heads. They were here to seek shelter, so naturally they wanted to make themselves look well-educated.
"Don't act like you're being lectured. You don't look like a royal concubine at all." At this point, the Queen Mother also knew that swearing wouldn't solve the problem, so she just vented her anger. When she calmed down, she needed to know what was going on first. , it would be better to think of a way to deal with it earlier.
Although she still has some confidence in Concubine Xue, she has been in the palace for many years and has always had this skill. However, this time it was the people in the Emperor's Palace who were affected, which was different from usual. The situation in Qianling Palace continued. Empress Dowager Yang herself didn't even know that she had to make a long-term plan at this time.
"In the past few days, Lian Wan'er has been running to Qianling Palace every day. The Queen Mother knows that Lian Wan'er has been promoted one after another and is now Wan Guifei. Not to mention that she is not pregnant with Long Zi yet. Even if she is pregnant with Long Zi, She is just a twenty-year-old girl, but she has broken the rules of the harem." When Concubine Xue talked about Lian Wan'er, her face was full of displeasure.
"How can you, a noble concubine, be angry with such a little girl? You have lost your identity." Empress Dowager Yang snorted coldly, becoming more and more dissatisfied with Concubine Xue. Even Wan'er can advance several levels in a row. He was capable, but instead of thinking carefully about why he was favored by the emperor, she still complained here. She really wanted to go back as she lived longer.
Seeing that Empress Dowager Yang was displeased, Concubine Xue had no choice but to swallow her dissatisfaction with Lian Wan'er. She originally thought that she could make use of the topic and let Empress Dowager Yang punish Lian Wan'er for the crime of charming the monarch. Even if she couldn't be punished, it would be better to kill her for her vigor. Yes, I didn't expect that the Queen Mother would actually say something wrong about her.
Yang Xin sat on the side and said nothing obediently. She and Lian Wan'er had nothing to do with each other. At most, she and Liu Yun were old acquaintances. But after all, she was a concubine and she was the niece of the Queen Mother. In this way There was absolutely no conflict between her two identities. Besides, she was just a little noble concubine, so she really didn't take her seriously.
This will make even Yang Xin feel that the imperial concubine is making a fuss out of a molehill. Of course, she can't be blamed for this. She has never been in the harem, so she doesn't know. With Lian Wan'er's momentum, although she is only a third-grade noble concubine now, as long as the emperor favors her With support, it is not impossible to become a concubine in the future. As a noble concubine, she will naturally strangle those who may threaten her status in the cradle.
"Then what? You borrowed a knife to kill someone? How did you know there was someone else in the emperor's palace?" Queen Mother Yang had been in the palace for many years, so naturally she would not believe Concubine Xue just based on her words.
"My maid accidentally overheard the order from the eldest maid next to Wan Guifei, saying that she should be careful when preparing snacks and not to put away some things that are taboo for pregnant women. However, according to my inquiry, Wan Guifei's menstrual period He just came here." Concubine Xue stopped talking, and Queen Mother Yang understood immediately.
This is a strange thing. There was a pregnant woman in the emperor's palace, and the news was spread. Even the Queen Mother didn't know about it. Such a thing has never happened before.
"Have you asked who it is?" Queen Mother Yang sat up and asked with narrowed eyes.
"I don't know." Concubine Xue shook her head. She sent many people to inquire, but she still didn't know who it was.
Yang Xin's eyes flashed. Concubine Xue didn't know who it was, but she knew it. In comparison, the Yang family was quite powerful in the palace, but she didn't tell Concubine Xue who the person living in the palace was. Who, once she told Concubine Xue, she would never do anything.
"How dare you do something if you don't understand?" Empress Dowager Yang frowned. She had seen Yang Xin's expression just now, and she knew her niece. There were several women in the Ling Palace who were only emperors. How could she be so enthusiastic? help.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, this matter was done very secretly. Even if we investigate, Lian Wan'er will be the scapegoat." The reason why Concubine Xue came to tell Queen Mother Yang was to seek support. Although this matter was done flawlessly, the emperor was not the same. It's a fuel-efficient lamp. If anything happens, it's good to have the Queen Mother's protection.
"I understand, you should go back first and send someone to keep an eye on the emperor. If there is any trouble, send someone to report immediately." The Queen Mother waved her hand, and Concubine Xue left first.
After she left, the Queen Mother said to Yang Xin: "You should know who the people in the emperor's palace are, right?"
Yang Xin raised her head in surprise. Seeing the Queen Mother's determined look, she immediately bit her lip. Knowing that she couldn't deceive the Queen Mother, she said, "It's Mu Liuyun."
These words made Queen Mother Yang stunned. She was stunned for a long time before she growled: "Nonsense."
Who is Mu Liuyun? Dongfang Ye's wife, the first wife given by the emperor. Empress Dowager Yang knew that Yang Xin had always wanted to marry Dongfang Ye. She had had trouble with the emperor because of her before, but the emperor put down all the harsh words. It's amazing that she still doesn't give up at this point and keeps going to harm people. If Mu Liuyun had any shortcomings, I'm afraid Yang Xin wouldn't be able to survive either.
Since Yang Xin dared to speak out, she naturally had a backup plan. She said in a low voice: "Don't worry, aunt, Concubine Xue has already blamed Concubine Wan for this matter. Even if it is found on her, it is still her business, niece." But nothing was done.”
Even if she did, it was just matchmaking. Concubine Xue was doing everything. She was just adding fuel to the flames and fanning the flames. If she really had to be found out, she would be jointly and severally responsible. The only thing she didn't do was tell Concubine Xue. It just depends on who lives in the palace.
"You are so brave. It's not like you don't know how much the emperor values that boy Dongfang Ye. You were also present that day when he fell out with the Aijia because of the couple. How could you still dare to do this?" Empress Dowager Yang was really angry. I fainted, this Yang Xin was so bold.
"Aunt, don't be anxious. Let's listen to Xin'er first. Haven't the Ji family been having a bad fight with Dongfang Ye recently about Mu Liuyun? I heard that their relationship has eased now. If Mu Liuyun comes out at this time, After the incident, the easing relationship between them may break down again. Besides, the relationship between the emperor and Dongfang Ye has always been very good. Xin'er guessed that Mu Liuyun staying in the palace must be the emperor's intention, but now she is in the palace If something goes wrong, even if the investigation is finally traced to Concubine Xue, it was the work of the women in the harem, but then the relationship between the emperor and Dongfang Ye may be broken." Yang Xin analyzed it clearly, and followed her If so, Queen Mother Yang fell silent.
Empress Dowager Yang also knew about the affairs in the imperial court. Although the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, everyone knew that the harem and the imperial court were closely related, and the women in the harem were all trying their best to keep an eye on the imperial court.
What Yang Xin said did make sense. Mu Liuyun was not only related to the relationship between Dongfang Ye and the Ji family, but also related to the relationship between the emperor and Dongfang Ye. If something happened to her in the palace, no one would know what Dongfang Ye would do.
I don’t know, but what is certain is that no matter how this matter develops in the end, it will be beneficial to their Yang family.
The collapse of the city wall this time is inseparable from the Yang family. After the An Wang case, the Yang family finally gained some power in the court, but now it has been wasted again. If the Ji family and Dongfang Ye this time
If anything happens between them, it will indeed be beneficial to the Yang family but not harmful at all.
Seeing that Queen Mother Yang remained silent for a long time, Yang Xin knew that her words had worked.
"Who taught you about this?" Queen Mother Yang knew her niece so well that it was completely impossible for her to understand these things with her temperament, unless someone was guiding her behind her back.
"No one." Yang Xin shook her head and denied it decisively.
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Empress Dowager Yang didn't ask any more questions, but she secretly made a note in her heart to send someone to keep an eye on her, otherwise she would be taken as a gunman and the Yang family would be affected.
.
"You should go back first, my aunt already knows about this." Empress Dowager Yang waved to her, and she left. She lay on the bed alone, her thoughts racing.
