The tomorrow that everyone was looking forward to finally arrived. For this day, Xia Qingxin woke up early and opened the door of her Fengxia Palace. The concubines who got the news rushed to pay their respects. Concubine Ning felt that this was a good opportunity to let her
Lianyi went to invite Baili Mingyu, who had just left the morning court, while she went to Fengchu Palace. She never thought about why she could learn Xia Qingxin's secret so smoothly.
"Qingzhu, prepare snacks and tea this morning. Everyone should spend more time watching the show today." Xia Qingxin smiled for the first time since the green fence disappeared, but it was also a sarcastic smile.
"Miss, my servant has prepared it a long time ago. Not only that, I also prepared melon seeds as the lady usually said." This kind of thing that required servants to take care of was done by Luli and her in the past, but now only the second lady and Bi
He took care of it together with her.
"Did Qingcheng do it with you again?"
"Yes, the second young lady is more like a servant than a master now. She has been told not to let her do it, so no one can stop her." Qingzhu was also very distressed, and she automatically stopped the original Lvli.
The work became more practical.
"Oh, let her go, she doesn't feel good either." Yes, everyone is blaming themselves, and even Ansheng doesn't eat as well as he used to.
Lord Ansheng stood aside and secretly looked at Xia Qingxin. He had not dared to hang out in front of her recently. If she found out that she could save Lvli without rescuing him, she would definitely never want to see him again. Alas, there are gods too.
What a difficulty.
"Miss, don't think about it. Our goal now is to avenge Lvli so that she can rest in peace in heaven."
"Qingzhu, are you scared?" Xia Qingxin looked at Qingzhu and asked inexplicably.
"What are you afraid of?"
"Our current goal is to subvert the entire imperial power. Our enemy is the lord of the world. Are you afraid of death?" Xia Qing looked at her intently, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Afraid, Qingzhu is afraid of death, but he is even more afraid of his enemy being alive. If he lives in this world, I will be frightened and unable to sleep peacefully. Isn't that right, Miss?"
"Yes, if he lives any longer, the lives of any of us will be in danger. He couldn't stand it and wanted to throw Ah Ling to die on the battlefield. Even so, he refused to let him go. He sent assassins to kill him again and again along the way.
, Ah Ling's life didn't go as he wished, so he vented his anger on me. I really shouldn't have escaped. If I hadn't escaped, Lvli wouldn't have died."
Xia Qingxin squeezed the chair hard with her hands, wanting to crush the chair into pieces. Yes, if she had not followed his wishes, then Lvli would not have died. She dreamed more than once at night that Lvli was crying. She
Say Miss, why don't you save me?
This painful sun erodes the bones, just like the maggots of the tarsus, it just wraps around itself. Every time I think about it, I feel like I want to suffocate. Even if I kill him, I can't offset it.
Looking at Xia Qingxin who was in a daze, Qingzhu knew that she had remembered something painful again, so she called out softly: "Miss, it's time for us to pack up and go to the main hall. Even the concubines should be here."
"Okay." Qingxin pulled herself away from the memories. She had to cheer up. There would be a tough battle to fight later.
"I, my concubine, pay my respects to the Queen."
"Excuse me. Yesterday, I was very happy to go out to visit my relatives. Today, how about I invite you sisters to sit a little longer and chat with me?"
Concubine Ning was overjoyed when she heard this. This was truly a God-sent opportunity.
"The sisters are naturally willing to chat with the Queen. Since my sister entered the palace, very few of her have interacted with us sisters."
The original Liu Zhaoyi and the current Liu Meiren couldn't help it. She wished that others would fight fiercely and she would reap the benefits. Concubine Ning was not happy that the queen was so warm-hearted today. There must be something fishy in this, she said.
Maybe there will be a good show for a while, and when both of them are hurt, maybe the emperor will see him again.
"Yes, we also really want to get close to the queen sister. Sisters, don't you think so?" Echoes followed.
Xuanyuan Wulei glanced at Xia Qingxin and came out to bless her body: "Then sister, it's better to be respectful than to obey." After saying that, he retreated to his seat and began to drink tea in a decent manner.
When everyone saw that even Concubine Ling, who usually didn't like to talk, was seated, they all sat down one after another. Just as they were about to pick up the snacks in their hands, they heard Eunuch Gao shouting: "The Emperor has arrived."
Baili Mingyu was in a very good mood when he walked into the hall. He had just appointed one of his own as a guard with a sword in the morning to command the capital's 200,000 troops. Isn't he very happy? In this way, he has everything in his hands.
He has already taken back more than half of the military power. If he takes back the 300,000 yuan from those forces that are not busy, he will be considered to have fully mastered the military power, and then slowly take back the power in the hands of Prime Minister Jian bit by bit, he will not
The family will be the only one in the court, and then he, the emperor, will be the real emperor.
"The Fengchu Palace is really lively today. Whatever the concubines are supposed to do, don't worry about me." After saying that, he took Xia Qingxin's seat.
Concubine Ning saw that the time was right and when everyone was about to stand up, she said: "I would like to report to the emperor, I have something to tell you again."
Just after leaving court, the maid next to Concubine Ning called her to Fengchu Palace, saying that something big had happened. Now she had something to report. Could it be the big thing she said?
"My beloved, please tell me."
"Your Majesty, there is a corpse hidden in the Fengxia Palace of the Queen. She is also a palace maid. The Emperor also knows this palace lady. She is Lvli, the dowry maid brought by the Queen from the Marquis Mansion." Concubine Ning said while looking at Xia Qingxin proudly.
.
"Is this the Queen's fault?" Isn't Luli the palace maid who was strangled to death by his own hands last time? Wasn't she already cremated after losing her virginity? Could it be that the Queen lied to him? Besides, she was hiding the body of a palace maid.
Why?
In Baili Mingyu's eyes, a slave is a slave. Death is not a pity. What master would make himself miserable for a lowly slave? This is a fantasy.
"Go back to the emperor, how could I do such a thing? Concubine Ning, you should have another reason for slandering me!" Xia Qingxin looked at Concubine Ning with strong murderous intent in her eyes. Her look in her eyes made Concubine Ning even more proud.
Xia Qingxin was warning herself. She was not afraid. The body would be found later and her position as queen would be deposed to see how powerful she was.
"Is the Queen impatient? Are you afraid that once your secret is revealed, your position will not be guaranteed?" Concubine Ning looked at Xia Qingxin sarcastically, imagining that she would soon be the Queen, and became more and more arrogant.
Xia Qingxin knelt on the ground without looking at her, "Please tell me from your Majesty that I have been wronged."
Baili Mingyu looked at Xia Qingxin who was kneeling on the ground and still calm and a little confused. Did Jian Ningxue really wrong her? Or was she using some other trick?
"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter whether you are wronged or not. The Queen's decision doesn't count. I want to investigate the Fengchu Palace." Seeing Xia Qingxin kneel down, Jian Ningxue also knelt down quickly, who wouldn't plead for mercy.
Baili Mingyu doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement. If this incident is true, then it can be used to punish Xia Qingxin and let her know what will happen if she doesn't please her. When she figures it out, she will definitely send her to bed.
Come.
"What does the queen say about this?"
Xia Qingxin was about to answer when she saw Xuanyuan Wulei stand up from the chair. She knew that this woman was more sinister than herself and must have thought of some crooked idea.
"Your Majesty, can you please listen to me?"
Baili Mingyu looked at this spiritual concubine. If she hadn't taken the initiative to appear in front of him, he would have forgotten that there was another spiritual concubine in the harem. This woman was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water. She was really boring. She actually wanted to say what happened today.
Two sentences, really magical.
"Oh? My beloved, feel free to say so. I'll listen to my beloved's opinion."
"Back to the Emperor, why not let people search the Fengchu Palace? Since Concubine Ning is so sure that there are dead people in the palace, the Emperor can also appease the hearts of us people by searching it."
When Concubine Ning heard this, she immediately answered: "That's right. Sister Lingfei agreed, so the other sisters must have no objections either." I didn't expect that Concubine Ling would help her. It was really unexpected. God help her.
.
"But if they are not found, then Concubine Ning, you should also understand what a serious crime it is to slander the mother of a country out of nothing." Xuanyuan Wulei's tone turned sharp as he spoke, catching Concubine Ning off guard, but she knew that Feng Chu
It is a fact that the palace hid the dead person. That was what she saw with her own eyes. This is not a slander at all. She suddenly said: "I naturally know what the crime is. There is no need for you to remind me. If it is not found, I will
Willing to automatically move into the cold palace and never come out."
They will definitely be found in the search, she just said that, there is no possibility at all.
"Your Majesty, you also saw it, and I hope that the Emperor will order a search of Fengchu Palace." Xuanyuan Wulei stood there neither humble nor arrogant. Baili Mingyu always felt that this Ling Fei was different from the past, but she couldn't remember what was different.
"Come here! Conduct a thorough investigation of Fengchu Palace!"
"yes!"
Time passed minute by minute, and the searchers came back one after another to report.
"See your Majesty, there is nothing unusual."
"When I returned to the emperor, I found nothing."
Of course Jian Ningxue knew that nothing would be discovered, because they didn't know there was a secret room at all.
"Concubine Ning, this is nothing." Baili Mingyu gritted his teeth and reminded Concubine Ning, undoubtedly telling her that it was too late to admit her mistake, otherwise there would be a falling out when she really moved Leng Gong to Jian Xiang.
sky.
"Your Majesty, you don't know that there is a secret room in Fengchu Palace. People are kept there. My lover, come with me!" Jian Ningxue looked at Xia Qingxin and sneered. Didn't you expect that she knew there was a secret room in her palace?
, this is really a gift from her palace maid.
Seeing what Jian Ningxue said so confidently, Baili Mingyu couldn't help but doubt whether this matter was true or not. It seemed necessary to go and have a look. (To be continued)
