Four hundred and forty-eighth chapter surrender (1)
Xie Mingxi has never underestimated Queen Yu.
The cause of Queen Yu’s death in her previous life remains a mystery.
At that time, she was just a concubine in the fourth prince's house and was not qualified to inquire about the affairs of the harem. She only knew that Queen Yu died quite suddenly. A few years later, she took charge of the harem and finally had the qualifications and confidence to inquire about old affairs.
Queen Yu's close confidants were all dead, those who had left the palace had left the palace, and there were not many left in the palace who knew about the past. She summoned several elderly palace officials to inquire in detail, but only gave a vague summary.
In the previous life, the fourth prince was appointed as the crown prince, but the third prince missed the chance to be crown prince. He fell seriously ill and died of depression. The biological mother of the third prince was so heartbroken that she committed suicide.
Empress Yu was disheartened by Emperor Jianwen and secretly wanted to kill the emperor. Unfortunately, the news was leaked before she took action, and Emperor Jianwen was alarmed and suppressed her.
A shocking change in the harem finally turned into an undercurrent silently.
Queen Yu soon fell ill and died, and half a year later, Emperor Jianwen also gave up and returned to the west.
Xie Mingxi came back after being reborn, entered the Lotus Pond Academy as the first name, and had the opportunity to meet Empress Yu from time to time. From beginning to end, she never really got close to her. This was because Xie Mingxi was quite afraid of Empress Yu.
Never underestimate any woman who hates because of love!
In this life, the situation in the palace has changed a lot from that in the previous life. Empress Yu's "disheartenment" has also been advanced several years. The reserve position has not been determined, and it is not yet clear what kind of situation the harem will become.
However, Xie Mingxi has decided to bet on Queen Yu in advance.
…
"Empress," Xie Mingxi raised her eyes and met Empress Yu with bright eyes: "I have a very secret matter to report to your empress."
When Queen Yu arrived at Lianchi Academy, the students all called her Master Yu.
At this time, Xie Mingxi called the queen empress and said that she had something secret to report, which was obviously not a trivial matter.
Empress Yu thought of lightning in her mind and gave Xie Mingxi a deep look: "Please tell me."
Xie Mingxi did not open her mouth in a hurry, but first smiled apologetically at Gu Shanchang: "Master, please stay away for a while."
Chief Gu Shan nodded slightly and retreated. The maids waiting on the side also withdrew. Only two mediocre-looking palace maids in their thirties were left standing aside.
As the queen of the middle palace, there is absolutely no way that Empress Yu would put herself in danger. These two mediocre-looking palace maids are both outstanding in skills, one is equal to ten, and they are extremely loyal to Empress Yu.
Empress Yu even dismissed Yu Qiao, her usual personal maid, but the two maids remained steady.
Xie Mingxi naturally knew the rules and taboos in the palace, and turned a blind eye to the two shadowy palace maids. She whispered: "Princess Yongning was once my aunt, and she forced me to take the exam for Xie Yunxi. I was not angry in my heart. From my father's mouth
I found out about the princess’s unusual habits, and also learned about Xie Yunxi’s true life experience.”
"Later, Princess Yongning questioned me. When I confronted her, I discovered a more important secret."
Xie Mingxi paused skillfully and looked at Queen Yu.
Queen Yu's expression remained unchanged, and she glanced at Xie Mingxi lightly: "Could this secret be related to this palace?"
Xie Mingxi also looked calm and indifferent: "It has something to do with the Queen Mother."
Queen Yu's eyes flashed, and she looked at Xie Mingxi with a sharp edge and a thoughtful gaze: "What do you want to get from me?"
The feud between Empress Yu and Empress Dowager Li is no longer a secret and everyone knows it.
Empress Yu would be happy if she could have one more tool to deal with Empress Dowager Li.
However, there is nothing in this world that comes without hard work. Xie Mingxi must have something to ask for when he secretly reported back to her at this time.
Xie Mingxi was very calm: "Your Majesty has a keen mind, and naturally I can't hide my thoughts from your Majesty. I may seem to be in a good position now, but in fact I am in danger."
"Just like the Seventh Prince, even though he is the most respected prince, he is still in a difficult situation in the palace."
"The seventh prince was absolved of the crime of deceiving the emperor, but because he wore women's clothing for six years, he lost the most important six years of a prince. Among all the princes, only his biological mother was imprisoned in the cold palace. There was no biological mother in the palace, so the palace
There is no outside help. As my fiancée, not only did I not help, but I also dragged him in because of the Xie family's affairs."
"The kings of Huainan bullied each other because the Xie family had no power, and the seventh prince also had no power."
"What I'm asking for is nothing more than your Majesty's protection so that I can spend the past two years safely."
"When I reach adulthood, I will marry into the Tian family as my daughter-in-law, and I will have the status of a prince and concubine. There will be only a few people in the world who dare to bully me. Among them, they will definitely not include the Princess Yongning and the King of Huainan."
…
What a great Xie Mingxi!
Queen Yu narrowed her eyes slightly and fixed her gaze on Xie Mingxi.
The power of the Queen in the Middle Palace can only be understood by being in it.
Those sharp eyes that see through everything are like sharp knives. The air seems to be stagnant, and the omnipresent and omniscient pressure makes people breathless.
If there were any palace attendants present, they would have already fallen to their knees.
If Mrs. Gaoming had been here, she would have been as silent as a cicada.
Xie Mingxi just stood there peacefully, letting Queen Yu look at her.
The calmness of standing calmly and smiling is completely different from the innate noble demeanor of all the princes and princesses. It has nothing to do with one's origin, it all comes from the self-confidence and strength of the heart.
"What a courage!" Queen Yu praised in an unclear way: "I haven't seen a brave girl like you for a long time!"
Xie Mingxi restrained herself a little at the right time and bowed to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Queen, for the compliment."
"To ask for my protection, all you need to do is plead with Xianzhi. Xianzhi is my friend, and I have no reason to refuse her whenever she opens her mouth." Queen Yu asked seemingly casually: "Is there a shortcut?
, why don’t you leave?”
Xie Mingxi seemed to have expected this question from Queen Yu, and quickly replied: "Master treats me with sincerity, and I do not want to take advantage of him."
Furthermore, every point of affection is worth a point.
Why should Empress Yu's friendship for Gu Shanchang be wasted over such trivial matters?
Empress Yu's eyes were deep and dark, showing no emotion or anger: "I have been your wife for several years, and I only thought that you were smart and talented. Now it seems that I have really made a mistake."
This Xie Mingxi is scheming, deep-minded, and good at disguise. She is simply born to be in the palace.
Xie Mingxi seemed to have a glimpse of Queen Yu's thoughts, and said softly: "The seventh prince has no ambitions for the throne, and I have no extravagant hopes for the harem."
Queen Yu naturally didn't believe these words.
Xie Mingxi didn't explain much. No matter how much you say, it's useless. It takes time to see people's hearts. The most important thing today is to surrender to Queen Yu.
Xie Mingxi opened her mouth and said: "Princess Yongning lost her mother when she was young, and was taken into the palace by the Queen Mother to grow up. Her habit of grinding mirrors was also influenced by her ears and eyes."
Empress Yu, whose expression had remained unchanged, finally had a crack on her face, and her eyes showed shock. (To be continued)
