Chapter 130: The Queen's Stratagem
From the moment he entered the palace, he faced a lot of suffering. Concubine De's people were naturally worried that she was too strong, making the queen's power more stable and unable to compete with the queen.
And the queen, although she seems to be gentle with her, she also has a lot of precautions against her. After all, at the beginning, Jing Shengwu was the one who was single-handedly raised to the status of a princess by Rong Chu. If Rong Chu asked for her, how could Jing Shengwu ignore it?
And Rong Chu's relationship with the queen is quite delicate. By now, Jing Shengwu is even more sure that the person who attacked her that day had the shadow of the queen.
"Leng Yu, have you ever been afraid that I can kill Concubine De today, maybe in the future, I will be able to kill more other people, or maybe I will be beheaded by others."
Jing Shengwu turned his head, looked at Leng Yu with burning eyes and said. Leng Yu wouldn't fail to understand what the consequences would be if she became her henchman. If she succeeds and overcomes obstacles all the way to the peak of power, it is better to say that she is naturally prosperous and rich; But if she fails, she is afraid that Leng Yu, who is a confidant, will also have a white silk.
Looking at Jing Shengwu's burning eyes, Leng Yu chuckled, blessed Jing Shengwu, and softly held her jade hand.
"Princess, Leng Yu has long forgotten her original name. was sold to the palace by her parents at the age of ten and began to be a little girl. But fortunately, the slave maid was favored by the former imperial concubine, and was pulled by the former imperial concubine to achieve the position of an aunt. ”
As he spoke, Leng Yu's eyes seemed to have a lot of invisible things passing by, "In this palace, especially around the former emperor and concubine, there is naturally no need to say much about intrigue. The first imperial concubine told the slave maid at that time that the first thing the slave to do in this palace is to choose a good master and be loyal to the master. ”
Speaking of this, she looked at Jing Shengwu, "At that time, the slave maid was only fifteen years old, and when she looked at the former imperial concubine, she asked very suspiciously, what kind of master is it." It is worth the slave to be faithful, even to the point of sacrificing his life. The first imperial concubine only told the slave maid one sentence. ”
"The master who can treat you as a human being is the master who can make you faithful!"
Hearing Leng Yu say this, Jing Shengwu was stunned for a moment. At the moment, I also understood a little in my heart. When the servants enter the palace, they are naturally the ones who are called by the masters and work alone to death. In the midst of this, how much suffering and punishment there are may not be imagined by a person of high authority.
In this house. Standing tall up like the emperor and queen, who can really put a slave in his eyes? For them, it is normal to be afraid of fighting and killing a few slaves and maids at will, just like an object. If it's broken, buy it again.
Leng Yu sent Jing Shengwu's hand away and bowed down to Jing Shengwu, "Since the death of the first imperial concubine, the slave maid has been sent to the queen's mother to follow the work. But the queen's heart is too vicious, and she doesn't take the slaves and maids in her eyes at all. So less than half a month. It was sent to the princess. ”
"Although the princess doesn't say it, she is the best for us slaves and maids in private. Even a lowly person like Fengyue, but he followed the princess for a few days. When she was tortured by the punishment in the prison, the princess wept for her. ”
Leng Yu raised his eyes and looked at Jing Shengwu, "How many people in the world can cry for their servants like this?" The slave maid feels very lucky, the former imperial concubine was such a character, and now you are also such a character. Therefore, the slave is willing to follow you to death! ”
"If you're on the way. Swing the knife and slash, and the slave will take the scabbard for you and wipe away the blood. But if one day, you fail......" Leng Yu looked at Jing Shengwu's eyes. Word by word, he said, "The slave is willing to die for her master." ”
"Cold Feather ......"
Jing Shengwu was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were slightly hot. She stepped forward and helped Leng Yu up, her throat rolling, but she didn't say anything.
Be the person close to her. Especially the most reliable people, she is not without suspicions. Although Leng Yu came innocently, he followed the queen for half a month.
So at the beginning, she also suspected that Leng Yu was a pawn sent by the queen, and she was wary of everything at all times. But later, in the whole day of getting along, she gradually became less wary of Leng Yu.
Now, looking at Leng Yu's reddened eyes, Jing Shengwu suddenly understood that Leng Yu really treated himself sincerely. Moved in his heart, Jing Shengwu never thought that he was just treating others with an ordinary heart, but he received Leng Yu's sincerity.
Come to think of it, it's also because Leng Yu has seen too much people's warmth and coldness, and the world is hot and cold. In this palace, there are not many things that worship high and step low, and fall into the well. Therefore, in this palace, a true heart is the most rare.
"That's it, it's all the slave and maid, why are you talking to the princess about this, it makes us all sad, it's the slave and the maid." Leng Yu lightly slapped the dust on his knees, and said to Jing Shengwu with a reluctant smile. "Princess, now in that room, there is only one Zhao left. What are we going to do with her? ”
Zhao Xiyan?
Hearing this woman's name, Jing Shengwu fell silent. Although this woman does not have any life-and-death enmity with her, she wants to be indispensable in Concubine De's treatment of herself.
Otherwise, even if Concubine De felt that she was a threat in the palace, she would not directly kill her. So this Zhao Xiyan is afraid that it will play a big role on the way to make Concubine De murderous.
"What do you say you should do with someone who wants your life all the time?" Jing Shengwu glanced coldly at the closed door, without any pity in his expression.
Hearing this, Leng Yu nodded approvingly. Although she didn't know what the feud between Miss Zhao Si and Jing Shengwu was, she had been in this palace for many years, so she naturally knew the true meaning of cutting grass and eradicating roots. Otherwise, if this Zhao Xiyan makes a comeback in the future, wouldn't it leave a hidden danger for Jing Shengwu?
However, Jing Shengwu squeezed his fist fiercely. She really didn't want to see people die with her own eyes anymore. Concubine De's self-judging appearance is still deeply engraved in her heart and cannot be erased.
That day, Rong Chu killed Qingluan in front of her, and there was also the son of Wu Liang who pulled her and turned her around. So Jing Shengwu was lucky not to see the scene of death. But now, this Concubine De really died in front of her.
"If the princess feels that she can't do it, let Xiao Zhuozi and others do it. None of the Royal Forest Army they brought with them were not people who had blood on their hands, and they would not be soft when they thought about it. Seeing Jing Shengwu like that, Leng Yu said softly.
"That's it, I want to go long in this palace, and if I can't stand the blood, I'm too fragile. You went and called little Zhuozi over. Let's send Zhao Xiyan on the road. Just when Leng Yu wanted to pass the word, Jing Shengwu grabbed her.
Hearing this, Leng Yu nodded and went immediately. Jing Shengwu stood alone outside the gate of the cold palace. Looking at the remnant sun like blood, I forcibly suppressed the feeling of discomfort in my heart. In the future, she is determined to stand in this palace for a long time.
I think there will be more blood on her hands when the time comes. Now, it should be regarded as a tempering of one's own mind.
When the door of the cold palace opened again. Zhao Xiyan's whole body trembled. She had not yet recovered from the shock of her eldest sister's death, and her whole body was immersed in fear and sorrow.
Zhao Xiyan has always relied on Concubine De to make a fortune in the mansion, and now that Concubine De is dead, it means that she no longer has anything to rely on. Although the strength of the Zhao Mansion is not weak, how could Zhao Shangshu offend the princess and others for the sake of the two concubines?
"Zhao Xiyan, you are a smart person, and you also understand the truth of these successes and defeats. I won't say anything else to you, you can just go on the road. Jing Shengwu waved his hand, and the eunuchs sent those things to Zhao Xiyan.
Looking at the poisonous wine on the plate, the white silk and the dagger. All exuded a power that seemed to be able to devour people's hearts, and Zhao Xiyan couldn't help but tremble. Die? She still has a great youth, how can she be willing to die like this?
"Celestial Princess, you spared my life, I will definitely regard the princess as my master in the future, and completely obey your orders, please spare me!"
Zhao Xiyan threw herself at Jing Shengwu's feet, grabbed her skirt and cried and pleaded. This is not what she wants, but now in order to survive, she can only beg her.
Fall to her knees. A look of resentment flashed in Zhao Xiyan's eyes. Now that her eldest sister Concubine De was also killed by her, if this Jing Shengwu received her under his command, she would naturally find an opportunity to avenge her eldest sister!
And, of course, the grievances and sufferings she suffered here. Even Jing Sheng had to marry the bad old man Chu Heng, she buried it deep in her heart. These hatreds are like a volcano that is about to erupt, and they are uneasy in Zhao Xiyan's heart.
"Miss Zhao, how did you ever think that you would be today? If you hadn't gotten your eldest sister Concubine De to do it to me, and wanted to kill me everywhere, I'm afraid I wouldn't have wanted to kill all of your sisters. You dream of your own palace concubines. I am my own free princess, and our well water does not interfere with river water. ”
Jing Shengwu looked at Zhao Xiyan, who was crying on the ground, without the slightest pity, only tore the corner of her skirt from her hand fiercely, and said with a chuckle.
Hearing this, Zhao Xiyan's low face had a more resentful look. But she didn't show it, she just kept her head down and cried secretly, that pitiful appearance was really distressing.
"Celestial Princess, it's actually not Xiyan who wants to make a move on you. It's just that my sister said that if I don't get rid of you, I'm afraid you will be a scourge. ”
Hearing this, Jing Shengwu's eyebrows suddenly raised.
"Zhao Xiyan, in fact, you and your eldest sister are wrong, I never thought of doing anything to you."
Jing Shengwu said, looking down at Zhao Xiyan mockingly, "Moreover, I don't dare to raise a beautiful snake by my side at all, if there is one, I am afraid that I will be bitten by her." So, Miss Zhao, you should follow your eldest sister on the road together, and fortunately there is a response on this Huangquan Road. ”
Looking at Jing Shengwu's mocking light, Zhao Xiyan was desperate after all. She thought that by begging for her weakness, she would be able to spare her own life. But seeing Jing Shengwu's cold look, Zhao Xiyan finally died of this heart.
With a wry smile, she quietly brought the poisonous wine from the plate. It takes a lot of courage to use white silk and daggers, but this poisonous wine can only be drunk with your neck tilted. Where is the need to have so many scruples?
Seeing Zhao Xiyan obediently drink the poisonous wine, a cold look flashed in Jing Shengwu's eyes, and he turned around and left the cold palace with Leng Yu. Now, it's time for her to go to Fengtian Hall to give the emperor a life.
Although the emperor said at the time, there was no need to inform him of such a result. But in the end, the person is dead, although the position of Zhao Guiren and Zhao Promise is not high, but this Zhao Guiren was a concubine before that. Therefore, Jing Shengwu still had to go to Chu Heng to inform him.
Behind him, the door of the cold palace quietly closed, Zhao Xiyan's eyes widened, and her body collapsed on the ground. The poisonous wine in her belly burned up, and she felt terrible pain. A strong shadow of death shone over her head.
Feeling the blockage in her throat and the salty taste, Zhao Xiyan smiled bitterly, struggled weakly with her hands and feet a few times, and endured the sharp pain in her abdomen, she slowly closed her eyes.
In the Millennium Palace, Leng Xiang stood in front of the queen in a regular manner.
"Returning to the queen, Zhao Guiren and Zhao promised that both of them were dead. When the slave maid sent someone to see them, the bodies of both were taken away by the eunuchs and disposed of. Listening to the descriptions of those eunuchs, Concubine De took a dagger and killed herself. As for that Zhao Xiyan, Zhao promised ......"
Leng Xiang hesitated for a while, and then continued, "I heard that Jing Shengwu has been standing outside the Leng Palace for a long time, and Zhao promised not to die. Later, she went to the cold palace and said a few words to Zhao Promise, and then came out, and Zhao Promise died. ”
"Oh? Could it be that she forced Zhao to die? That Zhao promised that before I made a promise, I had seen her. As a concubine of the Zhao Mansion, I am not a mediocre person who can get to this point. It seems that my comment on Jing Shengwu is still lower. ”
Hearing Leng Xiang's words, the queen was much surprised. But then, she felt comfortable. "As for Jing Zhengming, what do you say?"
"Back to Niangniang, Lord Jing Zhengming replied to the slave maid, saying that he would enter the palace tomorrow afternoon and accept Niangniang's summons."
Finally received an affirmative answer, and a smug look flashed across the queen's face. Now Jing Shengwu is in the limelight in this palace, and almost all the power of the six palaces is in her hands. If Jing Shengwu is disobedient, I am afraid that she will be a concubine again.
Although Jing Shengwu will not be favored by the emperor, this power is the last thing the queen likes to see. Therefore, if Jing Shengwu was married early, the harem would naturally fall into the hands of her queen. (To be continued.) )
