237: Stupid, people have selfish intentions

Now...... Now, he is a subordinate of his master, not a shadow of nothingness, but a subordinate who can do more for his master. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

When a person's mood changes, the aura on his body will naturally change slightly, and the shadow is like this at the moment, Gong Yan can perceive it.

"Cultivate well, don't let Lone down. ā€

Standing up from the chair, Gong Yan took two steps to the door, turned around, and said in a shallow voice.

"Shadow will never live up to His Highness's expectations!"

When Gong Yan got up, Ying stood up at the same time, and at this moment, he arched his hand and replied with extremely solemn words.

Looking at him deeply, Gong Yan retracted his gaze and continued to walk towards the door of the secret room.

"Your Highness, thank you for trusting your subordinates!" Just as Gong Yan's figure was about to disappear into the door of the secret room, Ying "plopped" and knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for giving Ying a chance!" As for the opportunity in his mouth, he knew it, and Gong Yan also knew it.

Gong Yan just let out a low "um" and didn't say anything.

Shadow's eyes were red, and his heart fluctuated.

As early as when Gonggong Liu gave him that set of cultivation exercises, His Royal Highness had already given him the opportunity, but he was slow to know today.

The door to the chamber slammed together, and Shadow got up and wiped it out of the corner of his eye, then sat back on the couch.

Concubine Lin Shu, and several other women, they are just tasks given to him by His Royal Highness, nothing more, so their lives and deaths, as well as the death and life of the lump of flesh in their wombs, have nothing to do with him. He believed that His Highness would not do it for no reason, after all, no man cuckolded himself.

The night outside the window is as quiet as ink, the whirring wind blows the leaves in the courtyard to make a rustling sound, Yun Qingxue looks anxious, walking back and forth in the house, it has been nearly four hours since Caiqing Caibi was taken away from the snow courtyard for questioning, and at this moment it has already been night, but the two have not come back, is it ...... Have they been tortured?

Thinking of this, Yun Qingxue's footsteps paused, and the hands held in front of her chest couldn't help but tighten and tighten.

They have sworn that they will never betray the Lord, it's okay, yes, there won't be any mistakes.

With self-comfort in her heart, she walked over to the low couch and sat down, staring at the flickering lamp on the table.

Concubine Lin Shu was born in the garden, and she was not alone at the time, and besides, it is said that the maid who was taken to the dark room for questioning was not only the two girls in her courtyard, so she waited with peace of mind, maybe the two girls would come back in a while.

With her body moving, she sat cross-legged, adjusting her breathing and preparing to practice the exercises.

Yun Qingxue felt that only in this way could she stop thinking crankily and maintain a peaceful state of mind.

Yes, that's the only way to avoid thinking about what you don't have.

Because the self-comfort of the previous moment didn't have much effect at all, which was not difficult to see from the subtle changes in her expression.

However, what Yun Qingxue didn't expect was that no matter how she concentrated and calmed down, she couldn't be distracted.

"You can't do this, I can't practice the exercises like this!" her eyes closed slightly, and she kept shaking her head while secretly thinking: "If I practice the exercises in this state of mind, I will go mad, this is a big taboo when cultivating, and I must not take risks." Suddenly she opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and her eyes fell back on the lamp on the table.

The light in the room wasn't particularly bright, but it showed the scorched color of her face.

Slowly, she stretched out her hand and took out a small bamboo whistle from under the pillow beside her, and her thoughts couldn't help but go back to an afternoon half a month ago......

"Are you really going to do that?"

"Yes, I can't let that Jian give birth to a child. ā€

"Concubine Lin Shu is pregnant with the prince's flesh and blood, and the people around her must take care of her carefully, besides, my aunt estimates that the prince is afraid that he is also doing protective measures in secret, if you insist on making a move, have you ever thought about what the consequences will be if you fail?"

The queen got up early to dress up, and saw Yun Qingxue walking into the inner hall under the guidance of Yutan, knowing that her nephew came to greet her at this time of the day according to the custom, the queen looked soft, beckoned her to sit down on the couch beside her, and then ordered the palace maid to serve tea, and the aunt and nephew began to gossip. Sensing that Yun Qingxue's expression was not quite right, the queen frowned slightly, leaving Yutan alone to serve in the inner hall, and waved all the other palace maids to the outer hall to wait.

After some questioning, there was the above conversation.

"Auntie......"

Yun Qingxue pursed her lips, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but after a while, her eyes became firm, and she asked the queen: "Does my aunt want to see that Jianren give birth to the prince's child smoothly?" Without waiting for the queen to answer, she said again: "Before marrying the prince, I heard my grandmother mention by chance that if the prince wants to sit firmly in the position of the prince, he must have his own children as soon as possible." And Cousin Che is already weaker than the prince in terms of identity, if the prince is allowed to have an heir before him, this will undoubtedly make it more difficult for Cousin Che to seize the prince. ā€

"I didn't expect you little girl to know a lot, and she knows a lot. The queen couldn't see any change on her face, but there was a hint of scrutiny in her eyes when she looked at Yun Qingxue, but it was just a flash, and it was difficult to be noticed.

Yu Yun Qingxue's words, she admitted that she was all right, but she was not sure that her niece could really get things done.

The East Palace is heavily guarded like an iron bucket, and as far as she knows, the girl in front of her has not been blessed by the prince so far, so it is conceivable that the prince is suspicious of her.

In such a situation, if she agrees, or even helps it succeed, there are only two results: either success or failure.

She didn't dare to think about it.

"My aunt praised it. Yun Qingxue smiled shyly, and then said with a serious face: "On the day I learned that Concubine Lin Shu was happy, I wanted to immediately get rid of the lump of meat in her belly, and I also made a detailed plan for the matter, but the person who practiced it did not leave Cuiming Pavilion at all, and his living habits became more delicate and cautious than before, making it difficult for me to find a chance to do it." Seeing that her belly is about to be revealed, if she doesn't make a move to let her have a miscarriage, then the child in her womb is likely to be born safely, and at that time, the prince's position will be further stabilized, and it will be even more difficult to bring him down. ā€

After listening to her words, the queen's expression suddenly became serious: "Aunt is still the same sentence, once the matter is revealed, have you ever thought about the consequences?" Yun Qingxue was stunned, and then smiled in a flash: "How can it fail?" As long as her aunt helps, she believes that it will be easy to get rid of the lump of meat in Concubine Lin Shu's belly, so she never thought that there is such a possibility as her aunt said, besides, even if the prince will suspect her, isn't there still Caiqing Caibi, what does it have to do with her?

After a long time, she didn't see the queen speak again, but just looked at her with a solemn expression, which made Yun Qingxue a little flustered for a while: "Auntie, as long as you are willing to help me, the possibility of the matter being revealed is absolutely very small." The queen was still silent, Yun Qingxue's hands on her knees clenched, bit her lip, and said firmly: "What if...... If there really is a situation like what her aunt said, Xue'er will definitely not involve her aunt. ā€

Raising her hand, the queen caressed her delicate and gorgeous face, and said movingly: "Silly boy, you like your cousin Che so much? For him, regardless of marrying the prince, you have to ......take risks for him" This is her niece, although she doesn't want to see this girl have an accident in the East Palace, but compared to her own son's future, she can only be ruthless to her: "Don't worry, my aunt won't let you have an accident, and when your cousin Che's matter is completed, my aunt will organize a big wedding for you." "If there really is a day, how will she allow them to be together? What about her niece? A woman who has been married, has no reputation, and is too simple-minded, is not at all suitable for her Che'er.

Moreover, she will not let her son tell the truth.

As for how to explain to her brother, she believes that she will come up with a proper way when the matter is completed.

Yun Qingxue was held in the queen's arms, and she didn't know that her aunt was using her, and she didn't know that her aunt's words and thoughts were completely different.

Big wedding? Wedding with Cousin Che?

She obediently listened to what the queen was saying to her, and said in her heart that it was false to say that there was no joy, but the feeling of joy was not very strong, at this moment, she just wanted to get rid of the lump of meat in Concubine Lin Shu's belly as soon as possible, as for Concubine Song Shu, who had just been rumored to be happy, if she could solve the evil seeds in her belly together, it would naturally be good, if not, she would think about it later.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Look at the right time to do it, remember to be foolproof, my aunt will let Yutan cooperate with your ......" The queen whispered a lot in Yun Qingxue's ear, and then, she let go of Yun Qingxue and beckoned Yutan to step forward, and saw that she took out a delicate and small bamboo whistle from her sleeve and handed it to Yun Qingxue: "This bamboo whistle is also expected to be put away by Concubine Yun, if the time is ripe, you only need to put it on your lips and blow it lightly, and the slave will know what you mean." As she spoke, she looked at the queen and asked her master's meaning: "Niangniang, the slave maid is going to bring things over to Concubine Yunbian?"

The queen bowed her head lightly.

Yutan saluted, and after a while, she returned with a red carved rectangular wooden box.

The wooden box is about 20 centimeters long, and about 6 centimeters wide and high.

"These are two kraits, and if you bite them, you will definitely die. Opening the lid of the box, Yutan introduced to Yun Qingxue. Looking at the two silver krait snakes in the box that were motionless, as if they were asleep, Yun Qingxue was so frightened that cold sweat oozed from her forehead, her face was pale, and she couldn't stretch out her hands.

Seeing that she trembled lightly and hesitated to untie the wooden box, a chuckling smile appeared on the corner of Yutan's mouth, and said: "Concubine Yunfang don't be afraid, these two silver snakes are raised by slaves, they will be sleeping, and only the silent flute of the slave can wake them up." Placing the box on the table, she took out the two kraits and wrapped them around their wrists very casually: "You see, they don't react at all, they won't hurt you." ā€

Yun Qingxue looked at her, her eyes shifted, and landed on her wrist, and found that the two silver krait snakes were like two beautiful ribbons, wrapped around Yutan's wrists, and there was no threat to people, so she swallowed her saliva, slowly raised her hand, and stretched out to the two silver krait. The queen held her other hand at this time, smiled gently, and patted the back of her hand: "Don't be afraid, Yutan won't coax you, let alone joke with your life." ā€

"Well, I ...... I'm not afraid ......" gently touched the body of the silver krait, Yun Qingxue withdrew her hand, looked at the queen, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Auntie, they are so cold!"

The queen patted the back of her hand again, and said in a gentle voice: "When it is hot, Yutan has taken them to my aunt to play with, and it is indeed cool." At this time, Yu Tan picked up the hand she had withdrawn, and then took the two silver snakes from her wrists, and gently wrapped them around Yun Qingxue's wrists. When Yun Qingxue reacted, the whole person instantly stiffened.

"Concubine Yun Fang took them back to the East Palace like this, it is safer. As if he didn't notice that something was wrong with her, Yutan and the queen glanced at each other, and then looked at Yun Qingxuedao.

After being stunned for a while, Yun Qingxue said "oh", a spiritual light suddenly flashed in her mind, and then her eyes were dyed with a cruel color, she grabbed Yutan's arm, and said with earnest eyes: "After I take them into the East Palace, can you let them directly take the life of the crown princess first." Before Yutan could speak, the queen's gentle and gentle voice sounded first: "Xue'er, every time you play the silent flute, it will lose a lot of internal strength, you can bear with it for the time being, and your aunt will help you solve the nine girls sooner or later." ā€

"But what about the loss of internal strength ...... "Isn't it just a palace maid, besides, since there is such an opportunity right now, why should you miss it? Yun Qingxue obviously didn't listen to the queen's words, but she didn't dare to disobey the other party in person, based on this, she didn't say anything after that.

"Good boy, my aunt promised today that you would get rid of the nine girls another day, and she would never lie to you, remember, we must focus on the overall situation, otherwise, it will be easy to fall short. The queen persuaded softly.

Yun Qingxue was silent for a long time, and Fang nodded: "I listen to my aunt." ā€

"My aunt knows that Xue'er is the most sensible. The queen smiled gently, and her eyes were full of indulgence. Yun Qingxue smiled slightly and did not speak. The aunt and nephew chatted for a while, and Yun Qingxue said goodbye and left.

Sending her to the outside of the palace gate, Yutan returned to the inner hall and asked the queen with some puzzlement: "Niangniang, why do we follow the will of Concubine Yunbian and solve the crown princess and concubine?" The queen does not like the prince and concubine, and has thought about getting rid of it, but for some reason, the prince and concubine are rarely mentioned recently, as if forgetting that there is such a person in the palace.

The queen picked up the teacup on the table, her eyelids drooped slightly, and said: "The fourth highness is now fighting with the prince, although there is no handle in the hands of the prince, but the palace knows that his current situation is not very good, if it is because the crown prince and the princess have an accident at this time, and the prince's eyes are drawn to the palace, then the fourth highness will undoubtedly be in trouble, and at the same time, the prince will definitely tear his face with the fourth highness." In the end, with the emperor's trust in the crown prince and the importance of Ning Yuanhou, do you think about how the emperor will treat the palace and the four highnesses, as well as the Changping of the palace?"

Yutan's face was slightly stunned, and he didn't say anything for a long time. The corners of the queen's mouth were hooked, and the well-maintained jade fingers gently rubbed the patterns on the side wall of the tea cup, and said word by word: "Before the Fourth Highness got the position of the prince, there was only one word in the heart of the palace, and that was 'forbearance'!"

"Niangniang, the slave doesn't understand something, and I don't know if I don't know if it's appropriate or not. ā€

"This palace forgives you for your innocence, if you don't understand anything, just ask directly. ā€

"What the slave wants to ask is, if something happens to the prince and the princess, why does the prince suspect it......" The latter words are obviously taboo, Yutan knows this, so she didn't say any more. The queen took a sip of tea, and then raised her eyes to look at her, and said lightly: "There is a contradiction between Changping and the crown princess and concubine in this palace, and once wanted to put him to death. ā€

"I see. Yutan realized and said: "With the prince's feelings for the princess, if something happens to the princess at this time, the consequences are really unpredictable." ā€

A sneer appeared on the queen's lips: "This is also his Achilles' heel, so this palace will not move the crown prince and princess at the moment, and when it is critical, threatening the prince with that waste will definitely play a big role." ā€

"That's what the mother said. Yutan nodded, agreeing with the queen's words.

"The niece of this palace is still a little simple. Putting down the teacup, the queen sighed, turned the topic to Yun Qingxue, and said, "If she can be more scheming, it will undoubtedly be more beneficial to succeed in the Fourth Highness." ā€

Yutan said with relief: "Concubine Yun is still young after all, some things are inevitable, Niang Niang mentions more on weekdays, with Concubine Yun's intelligence, it won't be long before she will become a teacher." ā€

"I hope so!" sighed the Queen.

……

From time to time, there was the sound of whirring wind outside the window, and suddenly, something seemed to fall to the ground, making a muffled sound of "bang", which startled Yun Qingxue and suddenly returned to his thoughts.

"Why haven't they come back yet?" she kept chattering nervously: "Caiqing is cautious, no one knows that the two silver krait snakes were thrown into the grass by her, besides, those guards haven't caught the silver krait, so they are safe without evidence and suspicion of Caiqing Caibi." ā€

"Master......" Caibi's voice faintly came from outside the door.

Yun Qingxue looked at the door, the corners of her mouth moved, and then she opened her lips and asked, "Caibi, is it...... Is that you?"

"It's the slave, the master, the slave and the girl and Caiqing are back. Pushing open the door, Caibi's face was pale, the corners of her mouth were stained with blood, and she helped Caiqing limp into the house. "You ...... You have been tortured......" staring at the two girls, Yun Qingxue saw that the two of them had messy hair and blood stains on their dresses, how embarrassed and embarrassed they were, and couldn't help but "chuckle" in their hearts.

Caibi closed the door, nodded "um", and Caiqing knelt on the ground, saying, "Don't worry, master, the slave and Caiqing are fine." Thinking that she didn't speak clearly, Caibi pulled her lips, smiled bitterly, and said: "But all the girls who were taken to the dark room by the guards, Liu Gonggong was used to torture, and in the end he didn't ask anything, and the slaves and maids were released in the end." "The darkroom is a torture room set up by the East Palace to punish the palace people who make mistakes.

"Gonggong Liu really didn't ask anything?"

Yun Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person relaxed a lot.

"Nope. Caibi said truthfully.

"I know, you and Caiqing get up and go back to the house quickly, remember to give the wound medicine. A smile appeared on Yun Qingxue's face, and her tone was soft and gentle: "Take care of your injuries, and when your injuries are healed, you will come to serve by my side." ā€

"Caibi (Caiqing) thank the master for his compassion!"

Caiqing, Caibi's eyes were slightly red, and they thanked the master for his grace in a trembling voice.

Because she was worried about what happened in the garden of the East Palace in the afternoon, although the queen had already laid down on the bed and slept peacefully, she did not close her eyes for a long time.

"Niangniang, don't worry, Concubine Yun will be fine. "The master didn't sleep, so as a maid, he naturally had to accompany him. Speaking of which, Yutan and Yuqing were originally from the rivers and lakes, and when they were in the Blood Illusion Palace, in the face of Xue Wuxian and the elders and protectors, they had never called themselves slaves, but since they followed the queen's side, due to the environment, they had to change their words and call themselves slaves and maids, but this is really difficult for them to accept, but they are forced by their identities, so they can't be presumptuous.

Also, the people in the rivers and lakes are all free and casual, even if Caiqing Caibi is just an ordinary disciple in the Blood Illusion Palace, when they meet all the boss-level characters on weekdays, they either call themselves names, or they claim to be subordinates, and they are arched when they salute, even if they need to kneel to the boss-level figures, in most cases, they are all kneeling on one knee, how can there be so many rules in the palace.

"How can I sleep in this palace!" Concubine Lin Shu lost her twins at once, you can imagine how angry the prince is, if he really finds out some clues, I am afraid that it will be difficult to end, the queen got up, Yutan saw this, and hurriedly took a soft pillow from the end of the bed and put it behind her.

Yutan said: "If Niangniang is really worried about the safety of Concubine Yunfang, the slave will go to the East Palace to find out." ā€

"The East Palace is heavily guarded, you can't get in. The queen did not agree.

"Actually, as long as Concubine Yun Fang didn't be seen when she released the two silver snakes in the afternoon, the prince wouldn't suspect her. Yu Tan frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "Moreover, those two silver krait snakes have been recalled by the slave maid with a silent flute, and no evidence can be found, even if the prince wants to punish him, unless he finds the human witness that the slave and maid said before." ā€

The queen frowned slightly: "You are naturally relieved to act in the palace, but the niece in the palace ......" said, she sighed and shook her head: "If she really has a case, even if the prince will not suspect the palace, he will definitely not spare her." ā€

"No, Niangniang, as far as the slave maid's understanding of Concubine Yun Fang, Concubine Yun Fang is not a reckless person, and if she can decide to make a move today, it means that she has complete certainty, otherwise, she will not use a bamboo whistle to contact the slave and maid. ā€

"It's hard for you to be so relieved. The queen rubbed her forehead, tried her best to relax her mind, and said, "That's it, thinking too much about this will only make the palace anxious." ā€

Yutan stepped forward, served her to lie down on the bed again, and said with a smile: "Niangniang, sleep well, tomorrow Concubine Yun will come to say hello, and you will see." ā€
