Chapter 320: Knocking the Needle to Make a Hook Liu Luanen
The queen returned from Jiaolan Palace, looking as usual all the way.
After entering the door, the palace maid came forward to help her change her clothes. The queen took off her outer coat. Because she was in a hurry, she didn't have many jewelry on her body. She just washed her hands and her face with a hand towel.
Another palace maid brought fragrant tea, but the queen rinsed her mouth but did not drink it.
The maid who served the tea asked: "Isn't your favorite drink of Luoying tea? This is the second-course tea, the most fragrant."
The queen suddenly lowered her face and slapped the maid in the face.
The jade bracelet she wore on her wrist hit the maid's cheekbone, making a knocking sound.
The palace maid was staggered, and the tea cup in her hand fell out and shattered on the ground.
Except for Liang Jing, everyone knelt on the ground and begged the queen to calm down.
"How can you comment on what I like or dislike?" The queen said with a cold face, as if covered with ice, "Get out of here!"
Everyone was frightened, Liang Jing waved to them and told them to leave quickly.
"Your Majesty, please calm down and just stop asking her to serve you from today on," Liang Jing said.
"Liu Luan'en, you bitch!" the queen called the concubine by gnashing her teeth, "How dare you threaten me with death! She might as well just die! I don't mind giving her a glorious burial!"
"The wise concubine's tricks in front of the empress are nothing more than clever tricks." Liang Jing comforted the empress, "What's more, the empress has already cleared herself of all suspicion in front of the emperor, so what can she do?"
"That's what I said, but what she did is really hateful." The queen was still angry, "I originally wanted to send her to Qingliang Villa, but now it seems that it is not possible."
"We don't have to rush. It will be a matter of time to deal with them sooner or later." Liang Jing said, "I still have something happy to tell the Queen."
"What happy event?" Yao Ziyun's expression was still a little gloomy, but compared to before, his anger had been reduced by sixty-seven points.
"Last night, His Majesty went to Tamamo Palace after approving the memorial from the Royal Study. For some reason, he suddenly made a big detour to Yucheng Palace.
Although it was already late at night, His Royal Highness was still studying hard at his desk, and he did not even notice His Majesty approaching.
Later, His Majesty asked him several questions, and the Prince not only answered fluently, but also gave his own opinions. It is said that His Majesty was very pleased and praised His Highness for his insight."
"It's such a thing!" The queen beamed after hearing this.
"It's absolutely true. It's just that when the news came last night, your Majesty had already rested. I thought I'd wait until daytime to tell you." Liang Jing knew the best way to relieve the Queen's anger, and there was nothing better than the Crown Prince.
She was even more elated to receive the emperor's praise.
"This kid Chong'er is really sensible. You don't know how happy I am when I hear this." The Queen breathed a long sigh of relief, as if she had vomited all the depression in her chest, "I have known for a long time that he is talented.
It's just that I'm too playful. Now that I've turned my mind back to business, the results will be immediate."
"Yes, your Majesty, what worries do you have when the prince is so ambitious now? As for the concubine Xian, we can only tolerate them for a few more months." Liang Jing said, "I received a secret report yesterday that eight people outside the capital were
In Baihe Village, ten miles away, there live two people hidden by Qingque, who seem to be his relatives. I plan to leave the palace today to find out the truth."
"Qingque and Concubine Xian are colluding, and both of them must be removed." The queen said, "I think Qingque is a greater threat than Concubine Xian. You can leave the palace at dawn soon."
"Your Majesty, you've been working hard this night, please rest a little longer." Liang Jing said, "I'll give you a beating, little one."
Liang Jing waited for the queen to go to bed. When the palace door opened, he took two young eunuchs out of the palace to do business.
The queen here slept for two full hours before she woke up. When she opened her eyes, the red sun filled the window.
"What time is it? I have slept for too long." The queen stood up slowly.
"Your Majesty, you should take a good rest." Xue Ge stepped forward to serve, "It's only midnight now, and it's already early in the morning."
So everyone was busy for a while, serving the queen after breakfast, and the little maid came in to ask for instructions: "Queen, there is someone from the Jiaolan Palace saying that the Concubine Xian wants to see you. It's not that good.
I wanted to come over in person to apologize, but they somehow stopped me."
"Why do you still want to see me? Shouldn't you take good care of yourself?" The Queen sneered after hearing this, but then said, "Yes, I am the Lord of the Sixth Palace, and the Concubine Xian has narrowly escaped death. I really should go and take a look today.
Look, it’s just to appease and comfort me. Otherwise, people will think that I am mean and cold-blooded, and I won’t spread any unpleasant words.”
After saying that, he changed his clothes again and took the chariot to Jiaolan Palace.
When the queen arrived, Concubine Xian insisted on getting off the bed and kneeling down.
"Quickly stop me, don't say goodbye. Sister Xianfei, you'd better take good care of yourself! Why are you giving such a big gift?" the queen said lukewarmly.
"I can't get up. I know that what I did during the night was wrong and caused trouble to the Queen. I deserve to die!" said Concubine Xian, kneeling there and prostrate.
"Sister Xianfei, what you said makes me don't know how to answer the question." The queen said, "Why did you do it if you knew it was wrong? Since you did it, why do you need to be pretentious? You really think I am a fool, it is easy to fool me.
?
You tried to use your death to embarrass me and discredit me, but you didn't want me to remove the suspicion with a few words. Seeing that your plan failed, you came to apologize again. I know that what you did is really disgusting!"
The queen stopped being secretive and directly attacked the concubine.
"Empress, I don't know what I did wrong to make you think that I am so unbearable." Concubine Xian burst into tears, "I swear to God, I have no intention of threatening death. I just really can't figure it out.
, Empress, why do you suddenly stop seeing me and treat me so coldly?
Having said that, it doesn't matter if I receive a cold reception or even lose my life. But I am worried about your safety, Queen. Who is the person who made such slanderous remarks in front of you? That makes you so alienated from your concubine.
I know that I am stupid and incompetent and cannot be used in a big way, but my loyalty to you, the queen, is not adulterated in the slightest. I want to ask for more information, but the queen refuses to see me.
In the past few days, I had been thinking about it and couldn't figure it out. I was extremely depressed and had no one to talk to. I thought that since the Queen no longer trusted me, I might as well die cleanly. That's why I committed suicide.
I know what I did was wrong, but I want to understand even if I die, and I only want one thing today."
Concubine Xian said while wiping her tears: "Please tell me, where did I go wrong?"
"Concubine Xian, I really thought you were someone I could trust with confidence." The queen looked at Concubine Xian's tear-stained face, "I have only recently seen clearly that you are really a master of hiding things."
