Chapter 025
Sang Zhi thanked him, but Concubine Dong E's eyes were sharp, and she was aggressive, "Don't thank you too early, you keep saying that you are plotting for me, but what explanation do you do?" How does Hongu believe you? ”
The corners of Sang Zhi's lips were hooked, and she already had a response in her heart, "Niangniang, everything the slave maid did today was for Niangniang's consideration." ”
"For Hongu?" Concubine Dong E sneered, "What are you trying to do to enter Cining Palace just to let the Queen Mother know what the emperor is going to depose?" She narrowed her eyes, "According to the main palace, I am afraid that you are not for the main palace, but for the queen." ”
"The mother laughed." The mulberry branch hung his head, and his face did not change, "Good birds choose trees to perch, and I sincerely seek refuge in Niangniang, so I naturally have my reasons." First of all, Niangniang, you are the current ruler of the harem, your power is like the sky, and you are the person who is held by the emperor at the tip of his heart. Secondly, not to mention that I was beaten half to death in Kunning Palace just because I got lost and ran into the queen, and I was also punished for standing in the ice and snow for half a night on a snowy day - I don't hold grudges, only talk about the current situation in Kunning Palace - the queen has no children, and the emperor treats her completely coldly, obviously it is almost impossible for the queen to have children in the future. In the harem, a person who has no heirs and is deeply disgusted by the lord of the world, what good results can wait for her? If the slave doesn't have any judgment, she won't dare to make a big deal in front of her mother, let alone serve you. Therefore, it is reasonable to be reasonable, it is impossible for a person with long eyes to choose Kunning Palace. Could it be that Niang Niang thinks that the slave maid will not have the eyesight to serve the Kunning Palace in a dead end? Wouldn't that be the same as ruining one's future? ”
What Mulberry Branch said was the truth. The situation of Queen Sule is indeed very bad, and having no heirs in the harem is almost equivalent to never having a future, even the queen cannot escape this list. What's more, the emperor loves to trouble her so much, and her current life and even her future are not optimistic now. These words made Concubine Dong E's head bow, and she silently agreed in her heart. Because the imperial concubine Niangniang never expected that someone would be stupid enough to put the good future of Chengqian Palace and be willing to go to a difficult place such as Kunning Palace. But Sang Zhi is such a fool.
After dispelling Concubine Dong E's doubts first, Sang Zhi began to understand today's behavior. She asked, "Dare to ask Niangniang, do you think now is a good time for you to enter the Middle Palace?" ”
Concubine Dong E's brows furrowed deeply, and she hesitated, "No." ”
Sang Zhi smiled, "That's why the slave maid dared to risk death to enter the Cining Palace today to commit such a stupid act." ”
Concubine Dong looked at her in surprise, "In this way, you are indeed thinking about this palace." However, there was a cold suspicion in his tone.
"Back to Niangniang's words, exactly." As soon as he couldn't hear the hesitation in her tone, Sang Zhi finally knelt in front of her and said, "Since the slave has decided to serve the mother wholeheartedly, the first thing to do is naturally to let the mother see the slave and give you a big gift by the way." She raised her head and looked at Concubine Dong E, "Niangniang also said that now is not a good time for you to enter the Middle Palace." But Niangniang, you think, if the queen is really abolished now, who else will be pushed to the back by the emperor next? She paused, "Although this may seem like a good thing, it is actually a big bad thing. Niangniang, do you think that now that the Queen Mother is alive, the Emperor will take advantage of the Queen Mother's illness to send you to the Middle Palace, but what about waiting until the Queen Mother recovers? The Queen Mother will know about this sooner or later. ”
"However, if you wait until you have already entered the middle palace to let the Queen Mother know, it will be too late." Sang Zhi asked, "Niangniang, do you think the Queen Mother will let you sit in the middle palace in peace?" ”
Concubine Dong E's face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out in her palms, "Not only not, but the Queen Mother will also deal with this palace." ”
"Then Niangniang, do you think you have the ability to compete with the Queen Mother now?" Sang Zhi asked whether he was in a hurry or impatient, but Concubine Dong E broke out in a cold sweat on her forehead, "Listen to you, this palace knows that she is just arrogant." If the Queen Mother makes a move now, the palace will be defeated. ”
Sang Zhi asked again, "If you are defeated, what about Prince Rong?" What about the Dong E family? ”
Concubine Dong E's limbs trembled when she asked, and she couldn't hold it steady anymore. Her face was bloodless for a moment, and she said in a dumb voice, "If it comes to that time, I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe in my clan." ”
Kuroeda was satisfied with the answer he heard. Talking to smart people about things has such benefits, just click one or two, and the right person can think through the joints. Sang Zhi kowtowed deeply and said, "That's why the slave and maid have the behavior of risking death today!" She just put it in a completely different perspective, and who else can know the real motive and purpose except herself? Sang Zhi said, "If you have entered the Middle Palace, the end of the Dong E family will be irreversible. But now it's different, and there's a lot more we can do now. If the slave and maid are sincerely refuge, how can they be a spectator? Therefore, he risked his death to enter Cining Palace and let the Queen Mother know about it. After all, the only one who can stop the emperor is the queen mother. ”
She looked up at Concubine Dong E again, "The slave maid is willing to risk her life today to win the attention of her mother, just to show her sincerity to her mother." As the old saying goes, loyal servants do not serve the two masters, since the slave and maid choose Niangniang as their backer, how dare they not think about Niangniang in everything? She swore an oath, but in her heart, how could she really regard herself as a "loyal servant"? However, the words were still said beautifully, and Sang Zhi looked straight into Concubine Dong E's eyes, "Now that the slave and the maid are in the same boat, and you are willing to bet your life as a sign of loyalty, Niangniang, you still can't trust me?" ”
Concubine Dong E was convinced, and finally temporarily dispelled her doubts, and hurriedly leaned over to help her up, "Since you are so loyal, this palace will not treat you badly." From now on, in addition to me, the Chengqian Palace will also respect you. Mulberry Branch, are you satisfied? ”
Sang Zhi sighed in his heart. Looking at Concubine Dong E's eyes that looked like trust, she felt extremely guilty in her heart for a while. Did Concubine Dong do something wrong? Not really. It's just a poor woman who has to find a way to survive. But now she has deceived this woman into trust... And it is the trust that dares to trust one's life. Sang Zhi's heart sank, and in an instant, he felt as if he had done something wrong.
However, the matter has come to this point, and she has also been forced to go to Liangshan. Concubine Dong E makes a living, and she herself has to survive!
Concubine Dong E took her hand and asked her to sit together, "In the future, when there are only you and me, you don't have to be polite, Sister Sangzhi, we can be sisters as good as we can." ”
Sang Zhi stood up abruptly and said continuously, "The slave doesn't dare." The king is the king, the minister is the minister, you are the master, I am the slave, and the order of respect and humility must not be abolished. In fact, it was because the better Concubine Dong E treated her, the more guilty she became, so she wished to keep a certain distance from Concubine Dong E. The closer a person is, the more difficult it is to deceive with a clear conscience, especially trusting such a thing. Of course, she didn't believe that Concubine Dong E completely believed in herself now - it was impossible for Concubine Dong E to trust all of her at once, but in the end, Concubine Dong E was indeed ready to believe her after the temptation. However, no matter how much Concubine Dong Efei trusts her now, she will feel guilty. The more trust she trusts, the more guilty she will feel.
Concubine Dong E took her hand and smiled, "You are also a stubborn temper." Since you don't want to, it's just that the red tape will be eliminated. Since you are faithful to this palace, how can this palace not be sincere to you! ”
Sang Zhi's face was hot, but his mouth spit out such words, "Niangniang treats the slave and maid like this, and the slave and maid must do their best and die." ”
Concubine Dong E covered her lips and chuckled, "I won't say much about polite words, you just need to remember that this palace will never treat anyone who is loyal to anyone." But......" Concubine Dong E's voice was soft, "If there are people with two hearts, this palace is not easy to get along with." ”
Sang Zhi's heart trembled, and he quickly knelt down, "The heart of a slave and maid, heaven and earth can be learned!" ”
"Ouch, I didn't say anything about you, hurry up," Concubine Dong E's grace and power were given, and she picked up the mulberry branch again, and went straight to the topic, "Sister, what do you think we should do now?" ”
Sang Zhi lowered his eyes and replied, "The top priority is to show the Queen Mother that the affairs of Kunning Palace have nothing to do with you. She paused, "In other words, we want to put all the blame on the emperor." ”
Concubine Dong E's face became heavy. She hesitated for a while, turned her face away, looked out the window and said softly, "This palace has always served in Cining Palace, and the things outside are really not clear. ”
"Niangniang, I may believe what you say, the palace people will believe it, but will the Queen Mother believe it?" Sang Zhi thought to himself, would Concubine Dong E not know about such a big thing? I'm afraid it's not that I don't know, but secretly fueling the troubles - in the matter of the abolition of the queen, Concubine Dong E's failure to do anything is equivalent to acquiescing in the emperor's behavior. Wouldn't the emperor be more energetic?
Concubine Dong E froze, stayed for a while before holding Sang Zhi's hand again and smiled, "Then according to my sister, how should I deal with this matter?" "Even Hongu doesn't call itself anymore.
Sang Zhi naturally understood her changes, so he bowed down more and more, "Niangniang, you want to personally stop the abolition of the queen, not only to stop it, but also to be upright, so that the entire harem and even the entire Qing Dynasty know that you completely disagree with the emperor's behavior." ”
Concubine Dong E groaned, "Doesn't this make the emperor feel cold?" If you offend the emperor, the palace will lose more than you gain. ”
"Niangniang, according to the emperor's favor for you, even if you annoy him for a while, it's not your business to coax the emperor back with a word or two? After all, the top priority is to let the Queen Mother rest assured of you! ”
"That's just as well." Concubine Dong E knows Shunzhi very well, and she knows how to give him smooth hair.
The conversation between the two finally came to an end. Mulberry Zhi went out of the inner hall intact and opened the door of the Chengqian Palace, and Lan Xiu and Lu Ying, who were guarding the door, were surprised to see her look as usual and even smile. The green warbler didn't say anything, and the eyes couldn't see through her. Lan Xiu still didn't have a good face, and looked at her with fierce eyes, "You'd better not play tricks!" ”
At this time, Concubine Dong E's voice came from the inner hall, "Don't be rude!" ”
Lan Xiu didn't know why, so she immediately turned pale with fright, and fell to her knees tremblingly, "Niangniang forgive me!" ”
Concubine Dong E's expression was indifferent, and she slowly paced over and looked at Sang Zhi and said, "This palace just found out that Sang Zhi is actually a distant relative of this palace. Since she is in the Chengqian Palace, she will be treated in the harem as if she were in the palace, have you heard? ”
This earth-shaking turn turned over in an instant, so that all kinds of envy, jealousy, and fear in the Chengqian Palace looking at Sang Zhi could almost burn her alive. However, Sang Zhi was nervous in his heart, and secretly praised Concubine Dong E's good methods! Now she has given Sang Zhi such an unwarranted identity, firstly, it is naturally to win over Sang Zhi, and secondly, it is also to make Sang Zhi have no choice but to stand on his own - a distant relative of Concubine Dong E of Chengqian Palace, that is, Sang Zhi has two hearts, who dares to believe her?
Sang Zhi sighed silently, Concubine Dong E is really a good means! To put it mildly, it kills two birds with one stone, how dare people not be in awe? If this is against her, will the kung fu head of the talking machine move, and I don't know what is going on until I die?
This kind of woman is really terrible. However, Sang Zhi knew that since he had been involved in the chess game, the danger would only be worse in the future, and people with deep scheming were not necessarily inferior to Concubine Dong E.
Surviving in the harem, how difficult is it! She can only be cautious, cautious and cautious.
At this moment, a palace maid came to report, "Qi Yu Niangniang, the emperor was furious in Kunning Palace, and he has already alarmed the queen mother." ”
Concubine Dong E was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the mulberry branch. Sang Zhi sighed in his heart, and itched the teeth of Emperor Shunzhi's hatred. She forcibly suppressed her feelings and said in a low voice, "Niangniang, now is your great opportunity to save the situation." ”
Although it is indeed beneficial to Concubine Dong E, the more important reason is that Sang Zhi knows that only Concubine Dong E can persuade that damn emperor!
Concubine Dong E thought for a moment and raised her voice, "Go to Kunning Palace!" She said, holding Sang Zhi's wrist, "You go with me." ”
