"Gan'er came into the palace today." Concubine Xian was sitting in front of the window, taking care of her favorite pot of orchid. "Take out the pair of shoes I made for him. He loves to wear the shoes I made."
Already."
"Didn't you make a set of Chinese clothes for the Sixth Prince a few days ago? Take them out together," the palace maid Shucong said.
"Yes, then let's pack a bundle together and take it out." Concubine Xian picked off a withered leaf and said, "Ask him again what the queen told him."
"Yes, your Majesty," Shucong agreed, "I think we have already finished our meal at Ronghua Palace, so I will go over right now."
Shu Cong and another palace maid carried the things and went out. After the sixth prince had lunch, he came out of Ronghua Palace, leaving Yao Wanyi alone to talk to the queen.
Concubine Xian was confined to the palace, and he could not visit her without the emperor's permission.
But he still couldn't help but walk nearby and wandered for a while, when Shu Cong happened to come out.
"Your Highness, when the empress heard that you had come to the palace, she sent her servants to bring you two kinds of needlework, both of which were made by the empress herself." Shu Cong said and handed over the bundle.
The Sixth Prince reached out and took it and asked, "How are you doing, concubine, these days?"
"Your Highness, don't worry. Your Majesty, please be at peace and everything is as usual." Shucong replied with a smile, "I also asked Your Highness to take care of yourself and don't be too tired."
"Don't worry, concubine." The sixth prince nodded, "I won't cause trouble."
"Your Highness, I don't know if the Queen has announced that you and the Crown Princess will enter the palace today. What's the matter?" Shucong didn't say that the Concubine Xian asked her to ask, but the Sixth Prince understood that this was the Concubine Xian's intention.
"The Queen just asked us to come into the palace to talk and have a meal. She didn't ask anything else," the Sixth Prince said. "She just said that because my mother is inconvenient right now, I had to go to her palace."
When the Sixth Prince said this, he suddenly remembered something: "General Manager Liang brought in a rabbit, which is very similar to the one I gave to my mother and concubine last winter. Didn't the one I brought in survive?"
After hearing this, Shu Cong was stunned for a moment, and then pretended to be nonchalant and said: "You don't have enough food to feed yourself? How long has this been going on? When His Highness said that slaves just now, they were stunned and almost couldn't remember. Queen.
Why is there a hare in the palace?"
"I also find it strange. Liang Jing said that he was caught from outside. He also said that he could not be fed in the palace, so he asked me to take him out of the palace to raise him." The sixth prince did not expect that there was any deeper meaning to this matter.
"Yes, that thing got used to being wild in the mountains. It's really not easy to keep alive in a cage." Shu Cong said, "Does Manager Liang also know that our country once raised such a rabbit?"
"He probably doesn't know, but I told him. If my mother-in-law lacks anything, you can send me a message." The Sixth Prince looked at people passing by in the distance from time to time, and did not plan to stay any longer. "I will come back later.
Let’s go there.”
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the Queen is not lacking anything. Besides, the Queen is taking good care of this place." Shu Cong said, "Your Highness, please go slowly."
After watching the Sixth Prince leave, Shucong returned to Jiaolan Palace in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Queen may be suspicious." Shu Cong whispered next to Concubine Xian.
"What's going on? Tell me quickly." Concubine Xian ordered another palace maid, "Jinglian, go and call Kang Guang over."
"Just now, the Sixth Prince accidentally mentioned that General Manager Liang took a hare that was the same as the rabbit in our palace before and used it to trick the Sixth Prince." Shu Cong said, "The Sixth Prince didn't take any precautions and said it directly, we
I also raised them in the palace."
Concubine Xian understood what was going on as soon as she heard it: "Okay, Liang Jing, he is really a fox, he will come when he smells it.
The queen made the rabbit into soup for the prince to drink, and then he found out about us."
"Empress, what should we do next?" Shucong couldn't help but feel embarrassed, "In this case, the queen must have become suspicious of us. Will all the hard work we have done before be completely overthrown?"
The queen initially trusted Concubine Xian, at least she didn't have much suspicion.
Although she also placed spies in this palace, it was just for indiscriminate defense after all.
But once this incident happened, it was completely different.
The prince is the life of the queen. If anyone dares to lead him astray or designs to frame him, he is at odds with the queen.
Concubine Xian glanced at her gently and said with a smile: "There is no need to panic, the matter is far from irreversible."
"Then what should we do next?" Shucong asked eagerly, "The queen is already very suspicious, and it is useless for us to just deny it. What's more, Liang Jing is a wily man, since he has already deceived the sixth prince.
, there must be a backup plan."
While they were talking, Kang Guang, the manager of Jiaolan Palace, also arrived. After knowing the whole story, he couldn't help but frowned: "This Liang Jing is really clinging to us."
"You are right, the root of the problem lies with Liang Jing." Concubine Xian said, "Actually, Yao Ziyun doesn't have any extraordinary abilities, but God is quite partial to her, allowing her to have a confidant like Liang Jing by her side.
"
"Yes, Liang Jing deserves 60% of the credit for her being able to sit in the back seat." Kang Guang also had to admit that among these eunuchs, Liang Jing's palace was deeper than them.
"Liang Jing must be removed sooner or later, and the earlier the better." Concubine Xian held a pair of bamboo scissors in her hand, which were specially used to trim flowers, leaves, and flowers. Once she cut them, she cut off the most prominent part of the entire pot of orchids.
One branch was cut off, "Do you understand what I mean?"
"Of course I know," Kang Guang said with a knowing smile, "We have been looking for someone to blame Liang Jing, and we didn't find it until the past few months."
"Liang Jing must have other reasons for us. He wants the queen to kill me in one go to avoid future troubles." Concubine Xian put the bamboo scissors on the windowsill and stood up, "But he can catch it
After all, we are limited. If the people who work for us are not reliable, most of them are dead and have no evidence. Even if you can occasionally find one and a half, there is no conclusive evidence in hand. "
"Mom is right. He used the rabbit to arouse the queen's suspicion, and then he told other things, and the queen would naturally believe him." Kang Guang stepped forward and said, "We have to find a way to make the queen not believe him."
if."
"It looks like it won't be long, it should be in the next day or two." Concubine Xian looked out the window. There were red flowers and green willows outside. The pomegranate flowers in front of the steps were already half in bloom. They were bright and bright, and could not be compared with ordinary flowers.
.
Concubine Xian knew that Liang Jing was always quick in doing things. Now that he had shown his face, he must be followed closely by thunderous means.
But she didn't panic at all. Since she had made up her mind to enter the game, she always had to be prepared for a close fight.
