Chapter 123: A Silent Battle
"Ma'am."
Two voices exhaled at the same time, holding her up at the same time.
"Phewβ"
When she finally stabilized herself, she couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
"Come and see." Xia Ruotong beckoned to them.
Dou Lianyi walked over with palpitations, and saw that the railing was broken, revealing a one-foot-wide gap, if Xia Ruotong hadn't pulled himself in time, otherwise he would have fallen down the mountain.
"There seems to be a problem." Xia Ruotong pointed to a section inside the fracture, which was neat and neat, not like it couldn't bear the weight and collapsed, but like a ......
She looked at the place where she pointed and couldn't help but be surprised: "You mean that someone deliberately sawed off half of it, and the railing that looks good will break lightly when it is forced, and the person leaning on it will naturally fall to the bottom of the mountain, and if he does not die, he will be crippled." β
Xia Ruotong nodded solemnly, "I don't want to believe it, but I have to admit that it is true." β
"She's putting me to death." Dou Lianyi gritted his teeth, his eyes red with anger.
Xia Ruotong said meaningfully: "If she can catch me, she will be happier, this is a sure deal." At this moment, she understood what Dou Lianyi said, "If you don't fight, others may not let you go", and in the future, I am afraid that I will not be able to live in the palace as carelessly as before.
"Do you want to report to the emperor?" Xiuzhu asked worriedly.
Dou Lianyi shook his head: "He worries about national affairs all day long, so don't alarm him." "Besides, this harem battle is endless, can he manage it?
"Hmph, take care of yourself in the future, it's better to count on no one than on yourself." Xia Ruotong looked into the distance and spit out a sentence.
Dou Lianyi walked over, held her hands, with gratitude and trust in his eyes, and said softly: "Tong'er, fortunately, there are still you, otherwise, this harem is really chilling." β
"Don't worry, no matter what, Tong'er will stand by your side." Xia Ruotong held her with her backhand and tightened tightly, as if conveying her unswerving determination.
Friendship has always been a precious thing in the harem, but fortunately, she met her and knew each other.
And at this moment, Kunning Palace is also staging a silent contest.
"I read last month's account, and Emperor An's concubine has always done things steadily and very well." Yuebiluo and An Jingliang were separated by a mahogany coffee table, sitting on both sides of the phoenix couch.
An Jingliang used the lid of the teacup to flick the tea leaves floating on the water, and when he heard this, he smiled humbly: "Where, the queen has good guidance." β
Hypocrisy!
Yue Biluo snorted in her heart, on the surface, she was empty and wronged, and she was doing things to set up the queen behind her back, have you done less than Emperor An?
"As far as taking care of the harem, Emperor An's concubine is also a senior, how can this palace talk about guidance, but it is just a side assistant." But the face is polite.
An Jingliang was naturally more polite than her, plus a respect: "In order to manage the harem, Niangniang is so tired that she can't eat and can't sleep, didn't she sleep well last night?" Look at the circles under your eyes. β
Yuebi subconsciously stroked her eyelids, she checked the accounts for half the night last night, and she didn't find anything, if she really darkened her eyes, it would be worth the loss.
"The Queen Mother and the Emperor handed over the harem to the palace, not to mention that it was just dark circles, even if it was desperate, it should be, what do you think, Emperor An?"
An Jingliang nodded and said: "The queen's spirit of dedication is too worthy of learning from the concubines." β
is a good An Jingliang, curses people without words, and the last sentence of the bow is not just death?
"By the way, haven't you heard that Xiao Anzi has a younger brother?" The moon fell suddenly, but she changed the topic carelessly.
The other side looked at him blankly: "Xiao Anzi? Is it the little Anzi next to Mrs. Dou who committed suicide in fear of sin? Speaking of this, his brows furrowed slightly, "Okay, why did the queen mention him." β
"Oh, his younger brother Xiaoyingzi is on an errand in the imperial dining room, and he tells people all day that his brother is wronged, and yesterday he came to the palace and asked, guess what?"
An Jingliang brought the teacup to his lips and took a sip, by the way, he hid a trace of uneasiness, put down the teacup, and asked with a little surprise: "What's the matter, could it be that he wants to avenge his brother." β
"That's not it, he said that his brother was greedy for money for a while, and he accepted three hundred taels of silver from others, and did such a rebellious thing as poisoning, and it was not a pity to die, but the commander made people all right, so that he couldn't figure it out." Yue Biluo stroked a peony flower embroidered on the cuffs and said slowly.
An Jingliang frowned evilly: "This is too bastard, doesn't he know that Tranquility was saved by Niangniang?" β
"But the people in his mouth are not quiet." Yue Biluo suddenly looked straight over, however, she didn't see the panic she wanted to see, An Jingliang was just taken aback: "It's not Ningningru, could it be someone else, who could it be?" β
In fact, Xiaoyingzi didn't know who it was, but Yue Biluo and Dou Lianyi's guesses were surprisingly consistent, and she decided to gamble, "It's you, Emperor An's concubine." β
This is so sudden and straightforward, hoping to disrupt the opponent's square inch, but An Jingliang was only stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Queen Mother, do you believe it?" β
"What if Hongu believes?" Now that the army has met each other, any retreat will be disadvantaged.
There was indignation in his eyes, but his tone contained grievances and sadness: "Niangniang, it's really hurtful for you to say this, since I entered the palace, I An Jingliang has always adhered to the virtuous and respectful women's virtues, and has also won the trust of the queen mother and the emperor. β
The words are sincere and inexplicably moving.
But she didn't say the right place, because she didn't get the expected effect, and Yue Biluo sneered instead: "In this case, the imperial concubine went to the emperor to explain how Xiao Anzi was arranged to go to the Crescent Moon Pavilion after serving Cunxian Hall for ten days." β
A trace of panic finally surfaced in her eyes, and she was caught in the eye by Yuebi on the side, and she had to strike while the iron was hot: "Of course, you can bet that there is no real evidence in the hands of this palace, maybe this palace is just deceiving you." β-
Want to gamble?
An Jingliang is at war with heaven and man in his heart, if he wins, he will be safe and sound; If she loses, she can't imagine how she will punish herself with the emperor's favor for Dou Lianyi.
"If Emperor An's concubine claims to be sick from tomorrow and is unable to assist in harem affairs, today's incident will be regarded as if nothing happened." Yue Biluo's words are like throwing a lifeline to a drowning person, it depends on whether she wants to catch it or not.
It only took a second, An Jingliang decided to grab this life-saving rope, and bit his silver teeth: "Okay, just do what the queen says, the mother has to talk." β
Stay in Qingshan, don't be afraid of no firewood, lose this game, as long as there is still a breath, as long as she is still the imperial concubine, there is always a chance to turn the tables.
