Chapter 183: Serial Scheme (3)
When the Queen Mother returned to Cihui Palace, it was almost noon, and Hou Yuanxiu asked her maid Dongmei to wait at the gate of Cihui Palace early, and as soon as the Queen Mother returned, she would be notified immediately.
So the Queen Mother returned to her house and drank a sip of tea, and Hou Yuanxiu appeared outside the door to ask to see her.
The Queen Mother felt a little unhappy in her heart, and felt that Hou Yuanxiu really didn't know the general situation, so she ran to inquire in such a hurry, as if she, the Queen Mother, was doing things for her.
In fact, this is just a change in the Queen Mother's own mentality, which completely confirms that when you hate someone, no matter what that person does, she looks disgusted.
"Let her in. The Queen Mother instructed the aunt who accompanied her to let the palace maid invite Hou Yuanxiu to enter.
Hou Yuanxiu hadn't forgotten her identity because of her eagerness, and after entering, she hurriedly asked for peace first, and then asked the Queen Mother if she had lunch first, and brought a qiē Zhang Luo properly, and the imperial dining room sent lunch to her, and after the two of them had eaten almost, they seemed to inadvertently ask about the situation of Concubine Man.
"Hmm...... Yuanxiu, you thought that the seamless plan had already been seen through by Concubine Man. The Queen Mother took the towel handed by her aunt, wiped her lower lip, and was satisfied to see Hou Yuanxiu's eyes widen and her face in surprise, and then continued: "Concubine Man is not poisoned. ”
"How is it possible!" Hearing the answer, Hou Yuanxiu was incredulous. How is this possible? If Concubine Man hadn't been poisoned, how could the emperor be so angry yesterday, and even executed Zuo Xiyao's maidservant Leng Xiang, and Zuo Xiyao was also sent to prison, and at this moment, eighty percent of them could not be sent to prison?
"What's impossible, are you questioning whether the mourning family will lie to you?" The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at her face with a little displeasure.
"No...... No, the courtiers didn't dare. Hou Yuanxiu's heart felt like she had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and she didn't know what it tasted like.
The Queen Mother sighed in her heart, this woman is more than vicious, not smart enough, it is difficult to fight with Chi Xiaoman like this! But now that the emperor has thought of a way to let Fang Qi cure Xiaoman, it is not so important to her whether she accepts the concubine or not.
In fact, as a person who has come over, she can empathize with Chi Xiaoman's mentality very much, which woman doesn't want her husband to only love herself, and only have one wife in her life, but it's a pity that this kind of thing may be possible in a commoner's house, but it is too difficult and too difficult in the royal family.
Even if Xiaoman becomes the queen and gives birth to the crown prince, the other ministers of the court will not give up the advice to the emperor to accept a concubine.
And the emperors of the past ...... In order to consolidate the imperial power and stabilize the government, who can be unswerving only the queen and a woman?
She knows her son's infatuation, but is this good or bad, and can the relationship between him and Chi Xiaoman really grow old together and be a couple for the rest of their lives?
She didn't know, and she couldn't afford to care.
What she can do now is to stop her son from turning against her.
"Okay, you don't have to think about poisoning, Concubine Man is already wary of you, if you still want to enter the palace as a concubine, you have to think of other ways. Seeing her unrelenting appearance, the Queen Mother said again: "Don't say that the mourning family doesn't help you, the mourning family heard the emperor mention that they want Fang Qi to enter the palace to treat infertility for Concubine Man, as a condition for the release of Wei Chixin, how Fang Qi's medical skills are, everyone in Yasukuni knows, it is better than the imperial doctors in the palace, if he is allowed to cure Concubine Man, your chances of entering the palace will be even more slim." Do you understand what the mourning family said?"
Hou Yuanxiu's heart was pounding, when she heard the Queen Mother mention Fang Qi's name, for a moment she thought that the Queen Mother and the Emperor had already known that she had taken the poison on Chi Xiaoman from Fang Qi, but fortunately, when she heard that it was not the same later, her panicked heart gradually calmed down.
She nodded heavily and said, "The courtiers understand. (To be continued......)
