Chapter 396: Collusion Behind the Scenes
"You go and tell Concubine Lin about this first, don't say anything else, just tell her to wait for me at dinner." Sure enough, at this moment, Huo Lingxi began to lay out calmly.
"Okay." The spy stood respectfully under the hall and said to the pink womanβ
"Concubine Lin." With just eye contact, the two of them already knew a lot. Concubine Lin knew that the person who came was sent by Huo Lingxi, and hurriedly sent her subordinates back.
The spy attached himself to Concubine Lin's ear, and at this time, he saw Concubine Lin's face suddenly turning blue. "This ...... Women are so vicious! Hearing that the queen was going to poison her own child, she was also an unscrupulous person in this harem, and she couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
"Then, did Huo Lingxi tell you what I was going to do?" The spy shook his head silently, meaning that at this time, he needed to think long-term.
"That?"
"Concubine Lin, don't panic. The master told me that he would come and consult with the mother. Now there is no clean place in the palace for a long time, and this matter is really hard to talk about now. The mother just needs to wait until dinner time and wait quietly. β
Okay, when Concubine Lin heard this, she clenched her fists. She already knew that now Huo Lingxi had a way, this cheap woman, if she dared to do such a thing, it was best not to care about revenge. The clouds and the sun in the palace are covered by the palace wall, and the sunset outside is still brilliant, but it is already evening here.
In the Zhengyang Pavilion, Concubine Lin and Hou Huo Lingxi had been waiting for a stick of incense. "Concubine Lin." From afar, Huo Lingxi seemed to be in a hurry and made a false salute to Concubine Lin. When Concubine Lin saw that he was finally here, she beckoned him to sit down quickly.
Huo Lingxi saw that Concubine Lin was very flustered and opened her mouth to comfort: "Concubine Lin, don't worry, I know that Niangniang's love for her son is heartfelt, but if everything is as panicked as now, then it is inevitable that something will go wrong." β
Concubine Lin sat down quietly, "What's your idea?" β
Huo Lingxi didn't sell Guanzi, and said directly: "With the way of others, he will also govern his body." The queen's use of poison is really too ruthless, but since she is in this palace, she really can't have a little compassion. Concubine Lin is not a dull person, she knows that Huo Lingxi may also mean something to the queen, but she doesn't know what to do, so she waits for Huo Lingxi's next step.
"This is poisonous, and the person who poisons it has a sinister heart, but once the matter is revealed, it is difficult to shirk responsibility, so poisoning is usually not advisable. But the queen has already taken this risky move. So I think she's a great way to get out of our shells! β
Concubine Lin's eyes lit up, "You mean to poison the queen and give her back?!" Concubine Lin thought, it was indeed a clever trick. Yes, the people who are poisoned on weekdays are indeed miserable once they are released. Because the poison was originally quite satisfied, if you go to the pharmacy to buy it, the shopkeeper will definitely look at the person who bought the poison twice.
That's it, if you are bolder, you will kill people, but after you come back, there is still a problem of hiding poison, and if the poison leaks a little, it can be discovered by the imperial doctor.
It's good now, the queen herself made a coffin!
"But how?" Concubine Lin immediately realized the crux of the problem, this is the most difficult.
"This." Huo Lingxi knew that the queen had Concubine Lin by her side, and he didn't want to use his own people.
"Niangniang has one or two henchmen by the queen's side, very loyal ministers or people who are convinced." Huo Lingxi knew that there might be one or two extremely loyal people around everyone, but more people were the ones who were caught by them.
"Yes, yes, but how can they? If this medicine is not delivered to me, it will immediately arouse the suspicion of the queen. Concubine Lin knew that there must be someone from the queen around her, so it was her internal response, and it was estimated that she was the one who received the poison.
"Concubine Lin, don't worry, listen to me. The Queen's medicine must reach you first, and then go back to the Queen. β
"Does that mean she drugged me last time, and I'm giving her back the next?" Concubine Lin asked.
"In order not to arouse the suspicion of the queen, this matter must be done foolproof. That's how it all came about. Concubine Lin first hid a palace maid in the little prince's room, and then made a small hole in the room connected to the little prince's room. So that the medicine can be taken out. And the queen's people must have thought that the little prince had taken this medicine. β
Yes, Concubine Lin nodded: "In this way, I am asking people to send the medicine to the queen." After all, there are still a few masters in my palace, although it is said that sneaking into the queen's palace will be discovered. But it's still no problem to go to her kitchen! β
"Huh. What Concubine Lin said was. Huo Lingxi saw that this matter was finally settled, and his heart relaxed,
Concubine Lin is also smiling, and now she is just waiting to get the first bowl of things with the queen's "heart" tomorrow.
After the matter was discussed, Concubine Lin remembered that she was too vicious just now, although she didn't feel bad, but after all, let Huo Lingxi look at it. I can't help but try to salvage something, or make myself feel more comfortable. Sadly said: "Actually, I don't want to do such a thing, it's just, it's just that the queen is too pressing!" β
Huo Lingxi saw that Concubine Lin just looked like she was eager to kill the queen and then quickly, so she had to make Concubine Lin feel at ease. "Concubine Lin doesn't want to be like this, if Concubine Lin knows that the queen wants to poison her own flesh and blood and is indifferent, then it shouldn't be, now, Niangniang is just doing what a mother should do."
Concubine Lin smiled bitterly: "Mother, who in the world needs to do this kind of thing to protect her child?" This sentence came out of her true feelings, because she was a mother after all, and if she could, she would not want to compete with so many women for a man. She was also an ordinary woman at first. Ay...... Huo Lingxi sighed, only hoping that things would not go wrong in the end.
This side was angered by the rumors that the palace wanted to set up Concubine Lin's child as the prince, and the queen still felt that it was not enough. What if the kid luckily didn't die? What if the matter is revealed? In short, there is really no guarantee of such a way of blocking.
After all, it is a major matter related to himself, and even the murder of the prince has been done, and this matter still needs to be thought about.
The queen stood by the window, and the color of her face changed several times. Suddenly, a plan came to mind.
The best way is naturally to make your child a prince, and the most direct way is the most useful.
Thinking of this, she called for pen and ink to be brought to the family to repair a book.
His father is the uncle of the country, how can the emperor give face to what he said in the court.
In the court.
Dugucheng felt that Uncle Guo was very wrong today, and someone asked Uncle Guo for his opinion after playing, and Uncle Guo was actually distracted.
"Huh?" Uncle Guo, who came back to his senses, was puzzled, and then realized that he had just let everyone see a joke.
