"Girl Hengzhao, have you heard about it?" Concubine Fu put down the tea bowl in her hand and called to Xue Hengzhao, "The people in Concubine Xian's palace have brought many people away from various places."
"What's the name?" Xue Hengzhao asked.
"It's said to be spreading rumors and confusing people." Concubine Fu said, "It's the rumors about Lin'er. It seems that the queen has already taken action.
However, she has always been cautious and refused to take action on her own, so she left the matter to Concubine Xian."
"The queen is really careless now." Xue Hengzhao smiled, "When things get a little more complicated, her thoughts become confused.
She only thought about not dirtying her hands, but did not think of letting Concubine Xian take care of this matter, which was convenient for Concubine Xian to eliminate dissidents and establish authority in the palace."
"What do you mean? Concubine Xian pretends to be a public servant for personal gain?" Concubine Fu only thought of this after Xue Hengzhao reminded her.
"That's it, my empress. Think about it, even if everyone knows that the Queen is the Lord of the Sixth Palace, the person who executes it now is the Concubine Xian.
As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current person in charge. The people below can't see the queen easily, so they can only follow the virtuous concubine's lead."
"If this continues, won't Concubine Xian be trying to oust the Queen?" Concubine Fu only felt cold, "In front of the Queen, Concubine Xian is respectful and considerate, as if she is protecting the Queen's reputation at every turn.
She was giving orders from the queen to the people below her. On the surface, she was doing things for the queen. If she was ruthless, she was at least half responsible for the queen. If she raised her hand a little and showed half a favor, the people who benefited would naturally treat her.
Be grateful.
If she does something unfair and someone wants to report her to the queen, she can use clever words and subtlety to cover it up."
"Your Majesty's analysis is absolutely correct. This is Concubine Xian's plan." Xue Hengzhao said, "Concubine Xian's plan has been laid out for a long time, but it is only now gradually becoming apparent.
From the very beginning, she wanted to drag us into the water, so that the Queen would consider us to be her rivals, so that she would have no time to care about others.
And she put on sheepskin and hid behind the queen, waiting for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow."
"Concubine Xian's palace is indeed deep enough. I have been with her in this palace for nearly twenty years, and I have never noticed that she is so cunning." Concubine Fu couldn't help but shook her head, "Fortunately, God sent you to me.
, otherwise it would be unthinkable..."
"Your Majesty," Wei Zhong said as he came in, "When I came back from the palace, I heard that Liu Mizhang was also catching people everywhere!"
"Concubine Xian's brother," Concubine Fu was not surprised to hear, "there are two brothers and sisters, one inside the palace and one outside the palace. They are so majestic!"
"They used this incident to eliminate dissidents, and more importantly, they actually hurt the foundation of the Yao family." Xue Hengzhao analyzed, "From this perspective, it is also beneficial to us.
Before most of the Yao family's power has collapsed, Concubine Xian will not kill us like this.
It is impossible for her not to understand the principle of flying birds and hiding their good bows, and Yao Ziyun, a man who is so merciless in the blink of an eye, will never cherish them all the time."
Naturally, there are very few people like Xue Hengzhao who can clearly see the overall situation. Now, not only inside the palace, but also outside the palace, people are panicking.
The queen could not sit still in the Ronghua Palace. She looked relaxed and calm, but in fact she was also anxious.
It just so happened that Liang Jing came back.
"Your Majesty, what Concubine Xian did was ordered by you?" Liang Jing asked as he came in.
"Yes, I asked her and Liu Mizhang to catch those who are gossiping." The queen nodded, "I don't want to do this kind of thing myself, and it's true, not to mention you are busy with other things now.
thing."
"But Concubine Xian and the others wouldn't want to go into a big fight, right?" Liang Jing frowned slightly, "Although we didn't do it ourselves, how could anyone with any brains not know that they were following the wishes of the empress?"
"Then what do you think we should do? Are we just going to let those people talk nonsense?" The queen disagreed very much, "Those cunning bitches should be given some color to show them. You are sometimes too careful.
"
"But, your Majesty..." Liang Jing wanted to say more, but the Queen interrupted him unhappily, "How is your investigation going? How many days has it been? They say the nights are long and the dreams are many. How many nights have passed?
How many dreams have I had?”
"The young one came back just to report this matter. The person has been caught, and he is the night guard Ge Qing." Seeing Yao Ziyun angry, Liang Jing stopped worrying about Concubine Xian.
It's not that this matter is unimportant, but he knows the queen's character well.
When she is angry, you must listen to what she says, otherwise nothing will be said.
Sure enough, after listening to Liang Jing's words, Yao Ziyun put aside his previous unhappiness and asked quickly: "Who was under the orders of this Ge Qing? Have you asked clearly?"
"He admitted that he did it, but he did not admit that anyone instigated it." Liang Jing replied, "He also concealed how he did it. He took advantage of the night patrol to sneak to Tian'en Hall, climbed to the roof and pried it off.
Wa, climb down from the top."
"No one ordered it? Then what did he do?" The queen didn't believe it.
"He said... because he was dissatisfied with you, Queen, so he wanted to cause some trouble at your birthday party as revenge." Liang Jing lowered his head and said.
"That's nonsense! What's his dissatisfaction with me? I don't have any hatred towards him." The queen was furious.
"He said that he had been favored by the traitor Xu family, and he has never forgotten it. That's why he did such a thing." Liang Jing said truthfully.
This Ge Qing said that Empress Xu had spared him his crime, but later Empress Xu and the deposed prince were executed, and he believed that it was Yao Ziyun who had committed the crime.
He has been lurking in the palace for the past two years, always wanting revenge, but he has no chance.
Later, he accidentally spied on the people of Shangli Supervisor working on secrets in Tian'en Hall, and after paying close attention, he found out what was going on.
So I thought of making a fuss about it.
According to his original intention, he wanted to put poisonous snakes and insects in it.
But this thing cannot be brought in from outside the palace, and it is difficult to catch too many inside the palace.
I managed to catch a few snakes with great difficulty, and they were all non-venomous.
Despite this, he put all these things into the copper ball just to frighten Yao Ziyun and others.
"Such a foolish thing will deserve to die!" Yao Ziyun sneered after hearing this, "If you find a way to make him identify that it was Concubine Fu who instigated him secretly, I can spare his life!"
"Your Majesty, there are risks in doing this." Liang Jing actually didn't want to make this move.
But the queen has already fallen into a demonic barrier, and no one can persuade her: "What is without risk? Eating and drinking water are also risky. If you don't eat or drink, will you starve to death?!
What's wrong with you now? If you're asked to do something, you're always pushing back and forth, and you don't even look at what's going on.
Tell you, you must do this for me, and I don’t want to hear any excuses anymore.
If you say you can't do it, then get out of the position of manager!"
