There was a click of a black seed falling on the chessboard, followed by a white piece falling, Chu Yunning looked at the other party with a gentle expression, as if he was not in a hurry at all.

"Did Xia Guifei enter the palace on her own initiative?" she asked.

Xia Guifei didn't raise her head, her lips raised a faint smile, like a peony blooming, captivating the country and the city, and her voice was even more charming; "This palace has an excellent appearance since she was a child, and she is a noble daughter of a famous family carefully cultivated by the family, so she is looking forward to competing for glory for the family." ”

She casually dropped the chess pieces again, and her tone was a little melancholy: "As long as you can enter the palace and bring glory to the family, who cares if you live well or not." ”

Another boudoir woman!

Chu Yunning was a little sympathetic to Xia Guifei.

"Chu Shang Palace doesn't have to sympathize with this palace, what this palace should enjoy after living all these years has already been enjoyed, and it is worth it. ”

Xia Guifei glanced up at the sympathy in the other party's eyes, and smiled: "Not everyone in this world can do everything well, and some people live a lifetime without being aggrieved." ”

"The concubine is open-minded. ”

Unconsciously, dozens of chess pieces had been played, and suddenly a sunspot of Xia Guifei fell on the chessboard, and she shrugged helplessly: "It's that the skills of this palace are not as good as others, what is the purpose of Chu Shanggong's coming today?"

Chu Yunning glanced at the chessboard, Xia Guifei didn't think about winning her from the beginning, she was just looking for a step to compromise the current situation.

"Persuade Prime Minister Xia Cheng to resign, and at the same time, in order to continue the life of the Xia family, you can choose a child of the Xia family to enter the court, and the official residence is three products. ”

Prime Minister Xia Cheng has been in the court for too long, and his protégés are all over the country, even more so in the court, and such a person staying in the court is really not good for Xiao Jingheng.

Xia Guifei's eyebrows furrowed: "Father will not obey this palace." ”

"Then it's up to the concubine to do it. Chu Yunning raised her hand, and the little palace maid immediately offered two cups of tea, she reached out and took a cup and drank it for half a mouth before slowly putting it down: "Sure enough, it is an extremely rare and good tea, the entrance is extremely fragrant, and the aftertaste is endless." ”

The palace maid took half a catty of tea and put it on the table, and Xia Guifei looked at each other blankly.

"The emperor's mercy will not do anything to the Xia family, but the premise is that the Xia family is safe and secure, Prime Minister Xia Cheng will definitely not be convinced, it is better for both sides to take a step back, the emperor does not use troops, and Prime Minister Xia can take the initiative to resign, do not interfere in the government affairs, and both sides will be fine. ”

"Is this what the emperor meant?" Xia Guifei raised her eyebrows and asked, her fingertips rested on the tea cup, watching the turquoise tea leaves rise and fall, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart: "Chu Shang Palace, why does this palace believe you?"

Chu Yunning bowed his head lightly and did not answer.

"The palace wants the emperor to promise personally, Xia Deshan resigned, and the official position given to the Xia family can only be Xia Wentong, and within ten years, the emperor cannot depose Xia Wentong or trouble the Xia family. ”

Xia Guifei's emotions suddenly became a little excited, and she said, "If you can agree, this palace can also increase the chips!"

Hearing this, Chu Yunning's eyelids jumped: "Let's hear it." ”

"Let the second lady and the two sisters-in-law of the palace accompany the funeral to the palace!" Xia Guifei's tone was full of hatred.

Xia Guifei's biological mother is not favored, although she bears the reputation of her wife, life is not easy, the second lady stumbles everywhere, and even almost killed Xia's mother several times.

Originally, Xia Guifei had two younger brothers, she still remembered that one winter, when the snow was falling, she witnessed the second lady pushing the eldest brother into the icy pool, although the eldest brother was rescued, but he was also completely injured, and he was sick for many years and finally couldn't endure the pain and torture, and jumped into the well.

Mother Xia was extremely sad, Prime Minister Xia reconciled the mud and severely punished a few minions, and this matter was over.

Later, when the little brother was born, Xia Guifei resolutely entered the palace and climbed all the way to the position of the concubine.

When they are afraid, they don't dare to do anything with their little brother.

But this tone has always been dissipated in Xia Guifei's heart, but she has never had a chance to take revenge.

No matter how favored she is in the harem, she can't withstand the power of Prime Minister Xia in the previous dynasty.

"Don't blame Bengong for being ruthless, Bengong used to be an innocent woman, and she was forced. Xia Guifei gritted her teeth and said, for her, the new dynasty and the old dynasty didn't matter at all.

She never wanted to leave the palace alive.

Rather than live in humiliation, it is better to die happily, at least to preserve the title of Xia Guifei.

Chu Yunning smiled and shook his head: "The concubine dares to love and hate, it's too late for me to admire." ”

She held up a cup of tea: "I'll toast you with tea instead of wine." ”

Xia Guifei raised her eyebrows and glanced at Chu Yunning in surprise.

"I'm the person who hates those who are vain, if it weren't for the identity reasons, you and I would definitely be able to become confidants and friends. Chu Yunning drank most of the cup of tea and said, "If I were you, I would be more ruthless than you!"

Hearing this, Xia Guifei smiled, even Chu Yunning was stunned by this smile, Xia Guifei raised the tea and took a big sip, and put it down boldly: "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome. ”

Chu Yunning directly lifted Xia Guifei's grounding, and let the palace maids who originally served her come back.

"Chushang Palace!" Xia Guifei suddenly called out to her: "Can you concoct a fast and ruthless poison for this palace, so that this palace will not go in pain, this palace is afraid of pain." ”

Chu Yunning agreed without hesitation: "After three hours, I will send someone to use the medicine." ”

"Thank you!"

Leaving Xia Guifei's residence, Chu Yunning was in a somewhat complicated mood, and Bixiu on the side said: "Xia Guifei is also a poor person, she has to learn the rules since she was a child, and if you want to blame it, you can blame Prime Minister Xia for being too partial, speaking of this Prime Minister Xia, the slave maid feels that it is not enough to die for a lifetime." ”

Chu Yunning smiled: "You know a lot. ”

"That is, the slave maid is a nickname bag to inquire, this Xia Cheng is relying on Mrs. Xia to have today, the second lady gave birth to a daughter, who is half a year older than Xia Guifei, it is now Mrs. Changyang Hou, and this marriage should have been Xia Guifei's, it was Mrs. Changyang Hou Tian who shamelessly fell into the water at the banquet and lost her reputation, and she had to promote this marriage. Bixiu pouted: "Otherwise, it will be Mrs. Changyang Hou who enters the palace today, and there are even more beauties in the harem of the Xihai Emperor than now." ”

Hearing this, Chu Yunning felt a touch of anger in his heart, because he felt worthless for Xia Guifei.

"Go and inquire about the affairs of the Marquis of Changyang, the more carefully the better. Chu Yunning commanded.

Bixiu nodded.

About half an hour later, Bixiu told the news she heard one by one: "After Xia Furong, the wife of the Marquis of Changyang, got married, she has never conceived an heir, and it is said that it was the concubine who poured a bowl of Juezi soup with her own hands and broke Xia Furong's thoughts. ”

Hearing this, Chu Yunning inexplicably felt a sense of coolness, and asked, "Then what?"

"Changyang Hou doesn't like Xia Furong at all, he rarely goes to Xia Furong's courtyard and finds an excuse to join the army, and now Changyang Hou has 50,000 soldiers. ”

Hearing this, Chu Yunning's eyes moved slightly, and she decided to help the other party once!

"Get ready, come with me to the Changyang Marquis Mansion. ”
