Concubine Hui leaned on the soft pillow and asked her, "Have you gone to talk to Miss Mingqi?"
"Hmm." Wen Xiuyi also asked for hot water and said while wiping her hands, "Let's find out her details."
"Did it come out?"
Wen Xiuyi shook her head: "I can't tell, she looks like an orthodox Xuanshi."
Concubine Hui said: "Since you are an orthodox Xuanshi, why can't you find out?"
"That's not the case." Wen Xiuyi said, "Each Xuanmen has its own emphasis on things. For example, Xuandu Guan is good at stargazing and talismans. But she, from the information she gathered and my own observations, should
Anyone who knows how to do it can do it without any particular emphasis."
After a pause, she added: "The martial arts is a bit strange. He is good at sonic skills. But I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so it's hard to tell."
Concubine Hui reminded: "Don't put your mind on her and forget about business."
Wen Xiuyi disagreed: "It's business to find out her origins. With such a person beside the imperial concubine, it's hard for me to do anything. How can I help?"
Concubine Hui was blocked by her words.
Wen Xiuyi spoke softly again: "Don't worry, aunt, this is a very important matter for my cousin. Xiuyi knows it well."
Concubine Hui's expression softened, she held her hand and said softly: "Xiuyi, it's up to you."
Wen Xiuyi laughed, as if she was really coquettish with her aunt, and leaned to her side, but what she said was: "My cousin has two obstacles now, one is King An, and the other is the imperial concubine. Your Majesty's departure means that
My brother wanted to attack King An. As for us, we took advantage of the fact that the security of the palace was not as tight as that of the palace, and we tried to find a way to give the imperial concubine to... As soon as she fell out of favor, the crime my cousin committed went away. At that time, besides my cousin, Your Majesty,
Without a decent prince, naturally I let my cousin go."
Concubine Hui nodded: "I listen to you."
Wen Xiuyi smiled and hugged her: "Auntie is so kind."
Where Concubine Hui couldn't see, a coldness flashed in her eyes.
Of course she would not tell Concubine Hui the real situation.
Ask Concubine Hui to kill the emperor, would she dare?
It is better to deceive her first, thinking that they are dealing with Concubine Pei, and Concubine Hui will definitely try her best to help.
...
The convoy set off.
Mingwei got into Concubine Pei's car.
This car is ridiculously big, like a mobile room.
Concubine Pei was sitting on the couch, and one of the attendants was lighting incense and the other was bringing refreshments.
When Mingwei came up, she immediately smiled and waved.
"Empress."
In the middle of the salute, Concubine Pei grabbed her and asked her to sit next to her.
"Why are your clothes so thin? My hands are too cold." Concubine Pei shouted loudly, "Bring me a hand stove and let the charcoal fire burn brighter."
Mingwei said hurriedly: "Mother, I'm not afraid of the cold."
Concubine Pei didn't listen, she just patted her hand and said, "My daughter, please keep warm at home, otherwise you will suffer in the future."
Then he asked the palace servants to turn over the furs and bring them out.
"...It's just the white fox fur, can you bring it with you?"
The palace attendant hesitated for a moment and replied: "My dear, that fox fur was a gift from your majesty..."
Concubine Pei said: "I have more than one fox fur, so go get it."
The palace man had no choice but to agree: "Yes."
Mingwei looked at them all in a hurry and felt a little embarrassed: "Madam, I have fur. I'm really not afraid of the cold, so I didn't wear it."
"Take it if you have it." Concubine Pei couldn't refuse, "Just treat it as a reward from me."
The palace servant quickly took out the fox fur, and Concubine Pei asked her to put it on with a smile, and said: "The little girl should wear nicer clothes. If you are born so well, if you don't dress up beautifully, wouldn't you be unworthy of the gift your mother gave you?"
A face?"
Mingwei also smiled.
Concubine Pei was in a good mood and asked the palace servants to find clothes and jewelry to match.
The journey was boring, so Mingwei simply let her go, so laughter could be heard from time to time in the car.
The emperor in front heard the voice and asked the chamberlain: "Is she the imperial concubine? Why are you smiling so happily?"
Wan Dabao raised the curtain and asked, and after a moment he replied: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is talking to Miss Ming Qi..."
He said it again, and the emperor also laughed: "It's the right thing to bring her. The imperial concubine has not been so happy for a long time."
Wan Dabao said: "Miss Ming Qi is really my queen's pistachio."
The emperor said: "This is natural. She doesn't do anything, and the imperial concubine is happy enough!"
There seemed to be a hidden meaning in these words, but after the emperor finished speaking, he continued to read the memorial, and Wan Dabao did not answer any more words.
Later, Mingwei was sweating while trying on her clothes. Concubine Pei finally believed that she was not cold anymore, so she asked the palace servants to serve tea and chat with her.
"You all go to the back. I'll talk to Miss Mingqi. If you're tired, take a nap."
The palace attendant hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, how come you have no one to serve you?"
Concubine Pei casually pointed at Master Wei and asked, "Aren't they human?"
Duofu was very smart and immediately said: "Don't worry, sisters, I'm here to serve you. If there's anything you can't do, just tell the outside and I'll call you right away, okay?"
The two palace men then withdrew.
The big car suddenly became quiet.
Concubine Pei waited for a while, and then she heard the sound of horse hoofbeats seeming to be getting farther away, and then she said, "Can you talk now?"
Ming smiled and nodded.
Concubine Pei asked: "Are you worried about me and are you following me here on purpose?"
"yes."
Concubine Pei said: "You are too careful. I have paid attention to Miss Wen, but I haven't seen her do anything out of the ordinary."
Mingwei shook his head.
Concubine Pei frowned: "What, is there something else?"
"Yes." Mingwei paused and decided to tell the truth to Concubine Pei, "We suspect that their purpose may be to kill the king."
"What?" Concubine Pei's hand shook, and the cake she just picked up rolled back.
Mingwei nodded, indicating that she heard correctly.
Concubine Pei took a deep breath and couldn't believe it: "How dare they?"
Mingwei said softly: "This is our guess, it may not be accurate. But Mr. Fu thinks it is very likely, so we'd better take it seriously."
Concubine Pei pondered for a moment and said: "This is indeed a way. The second prince does not have many chess pieces in his hands. King An has performed well in the past six months. It will be even more detrimental to him if it continues to be delayed."
"That's what happened."
Concubine Pei's mind was in a mess, and she heard Mingwei ask her: "My Lady, if this is really the case, do you...want me to stop it?"
Concubine Pei was startled and confused.
If he doesn't stop him, he will die and he will be out of the sea of suffering.
But in that case...
Concubine Pei was confused for only a moment before she came to her senses and said, "Stop it first."
Mingwei looked at her: "Why?"
"It's not yet time." Concubine Pei said calmly, "Most of your power is lurking in the dark. It is too reluctant to clean up such a mess. Besides, regicide can easily be stigmatized. When the time comes,
Can't tell."
"But my dear, if he dies, you can end this life right away."
Concubine Pei said calmly: "I've endured it for twenty years. Is there still so little time left? Now that I've done it, I have to do it cleanly and not leave him any trouble in the future." (To be continued)
