"Just because it's not in my way doesn't mean I can't dislike her. Does the person I hate have to get in my way? Concubine Rong smiled: "Actually, I don't like any of the women in this palace." Doesn't the queen want you to be the only one by the emperor's side forever? It's not just you, it's just you. By the way, I forgot, you are the queen, you can't think like this, let alone say that. I tell you this, I have already committed an unforgivable heinous sin. Queen, how are you going to punish me, just do it quickly. Three years ago, I couldn't guard against you, and three years later, I was still defeated by you as soon as I returned to the palace. What are you going to do to me this time? ”

"What you did three years ago, you will never forget." The queen suddenly interrupted Concubine Rong's words and said coldly.

Concubine Rong laughed twice, but did not speak.

The queen sighed softly and said, "You have just returned to the palace for a long time, and there are still a long days to come. Jingping, you think to yourself, has the emperor treated you a little bit badly! ”

Concubine Rong stretched out her slender fingers and compared them in front of her, and said with a smile: "What else is there to say at this time." ”

The queen still continued softly: "Although you have no children and no daughters, and you are not the eldest concubine, in terms of heirs, Yang Jieyu and Qin Meiren are above you, in terms of qualifications, Shun Jieyu is much older than you......"

"Don't compare me to Shun Jieyu!" Concubine Rong suddenly interrupted the queen's words and said loudly: "She is so many years older than the emperor, and she is old, I don't know why the emperor gave her so much power." ”

"The emperor gave her the right to assist in the affairs of the six palaces, but he never named her a concubine!" The queen's heavy voice suppressed the sharpness in Concubine Rong's voice, "You can see clearly for yourself, among the many concubines in the entire harem, you are the only one who occupies the concubine position." What do you have to offer? ”

"Yes, I'm the only one in the concubine position, what else do I have to lose? It's just because my concubine came too smoothly that I'm not enough! The emperor has never treated me badly, but he has never liked me, I entered the palace only because of my grandfather's exploits and the Li family's military exploits, and I got the position of Concubine Rong, but because of these. So I'm not satisfied. I saw the emperor talking to the Cao family, and every time he was so gentle. That day, it was clear that Xiaocai was already dead, and he was still angry with a gloomy face just now, but when he saw Cao Shi coming, he still spoke to her gently. Queen, can you just be indifferent? She is a beauty today, maybe she will be Concubine Shu that day, and then she will be Concubine Shu, maybe one day, she will become the queen......"

Shu E began to listen to Concubine Rong's words, thinking back to the emperor's attitude towards herself, and felt warm in her heart, but she didn't expect Concubine Rong to say such a big rebellious thing later, but she couldn't help but get angry in her heart.

The queen still said lightly: "Shu Meiren is gentle and kind, but she will not have such delusions as you." ”

Concubine Rong just sneered, but she heard what the queen said.

"But after today, I won't even be Concubine Rong...... I can't be Concubine Rong anymore, do I care who sits in the back seat? Concubine Rong laughed to herself for a while, but suddenly her eyes closed, big tears fell, and after a while, Concubine Rong suddenly said: "It is not difficult for the queen to make me confess, and promise me one thing." ”

"What?" The queen asked.

"Xu Songjie has been with me for many years, practicing with me when I was in the palace, and praying for the blessings of the society has merit. What I did after I returned to the palace, she didn't know anything. She has a pure heart, but she is not suitable for living in the harem. After I was convicted, she must have had a hard time. So please be merciful to the queen and send her out of the city. Concubine Rong's voice was soft and slow, sounding unreal.

The queen didn't answer, just sneered slightly.

Concubine Rong stared fiercely into the queen's eyes and said, "What! Is the queen unwilling to agree to such a trivial matter? ”

"When Lin Zitong touched the wall and killed himself, I heard that Xu Songjie was also in Taiqing Building." The queen said indifferently.

"Yes, but she is in the courtyard of Taiqing Building, and the closest to the Lin family is the maid of the Lin family and Zhu Yan next to the Queen Mother, and it has nothing to do with Xu Songjie!" Concubine Rong's voice was filled with anger.

"That's because Concubine Rong, you arranged it properly. If Xu Songjie is also present, it will inevitably be found out from her after the incident, and Jingping will not be able to get out of it. The queen said, "As for whether she has anything to do with it or not, I will have to inquire personally before I can determine." ”

Concubine Rong was furious, and rushed forward with an arrow step, about to grab the queen's clothes.

The queen stepped aside and waved her hand to block Concubine Rong's hand, but Concubine Rong was crazy at the same time, grabbing her hands indiscriminately, just to step forward and fight with the queen. The queen said in a deep voice: "Concubine Rong, you are so crazy, but you are not afraid that I will anger the Xu family?" ”

This sentence was very effective, and Concubine Rong was stunned, and a wave of grandeur immediately went down. The queen turned sideways to avoid it, but Concubine Rong's hand stopped in mid-air, her eyes stared distracted for a while, and her hands were slowly lowered, and after a long time, Concubine Rong said slowly: "Concubine offended the queen, please punish the queen, as for the Xu family, she really doesn't know anything......

The queen straightened her clothes, looked at Concubine Rong, who had lost her mind, and said, "You and the Xu family can only save one." ”

Concubine Rong's eyes were a little scattered, but her reaction was still extremely fast, or she didn't think about the queen's words at all, but instinctively responded quickly: "Keep her." ”

The queen stared at Concubine Rong for a moment, then said, "You go back." This is the end of today's business, and you don't have to mention it to anyone. ”

Concubine Rong's eyes were blank, as if she had never understood the queen's words, and she turned away in a daze. After walking a few steps, Concubine Rong's body suddenly shook, and she suddenly turned to look at the queen and said, "You...... What did you say? ”

"You go back to Taiqing Building, so you can think about it behind closed doors." The queen's voice was indifferent.

"Behind closed doors?" Concubine Rong's eyes gradually became clear, with a hint of fear and some resentment: "What else do you want to do?" ”

"Lin Zitong's self-murder, I will find a proper reason to explain it to the emperor." The queen looked at Concubine Rong and said lightly: "The cause of Mu Xiaoxia's death, I will classify it as a misstep." As for you, it also depends on the friendship that the emperor has never treated you lightly, even if you can't add much peace to this harem, don't do anything hurtful to heaven and reason. ”

The queen's words, Concubine Rong listened to every word, but it took a long time before she reacted.

After a long silence, Concubine Rong suddenly said in a hoarse voice: "Guo Yihuang, what are you doing?" ”
