Chapter 316
Concubine Xiao looked at Concubine Hui coldly, her pale lips moved slightly, and she spit out a sentence lightly: "...... Slut! You slut! ”
"Smack!" Concubine Xiao was sitting, while Concubine Hui was standing, after Concubine Xiao said this, Concubine Hui raised her hand and slapped her hard.
Concubine Xiao covered her face, her face was hot and painful, and it was likely to be red and swollen, but what made her even more sad was the shame in her heart.
For so many years, Concubine Hui has bowed down in front of her, and although she knows that Concubine Hui is scheming, she has never regarded her as a real opponent. In her eyes, except for the queen, no one is worthy of being her opponent.
Now, she was slapped and humiliated by Concubine Hui!
All she felt was a buzz in her head, and blood rushed to the top of her head. The shame almost made her lose her mind, and she struggled to her feet, trying to slap her back. But before she could stand firmly, she was pushed to the ground. The body hit the bluestone, and the pain penetrated into the bone marrow, she raised her head and looked at the person who pushed her with a hateful gaze, which was Chen Jia.
"You ungrateful villain!" She rushed forward, and Concubine Xiao was ruthless, even if she bitten, she had to bite off a piece of his flesh.
If it weren't for Chen Jia, the Xiao family would not have been raided and wiped out, and their mother and son would not have become what they are today. And Chen Jia, it was she who recommended her to the emperor's side.
Every time she thought about it, her heart bleed.
Concubine Xiao looked like a mad tiger, but Chen Jia took a step back with great dexterity. Concubine Hui also took a step back knowingly. Chen Jia clapped his hands randomly, the door was pushed open, and two stout mothers-in-law walked in, grabbed Concubine Xiao's arm left and right, no matter how Concubine Xiao struggled, she couldn't break free from the clamps of her mother-in-law, and after a while, she ran out of strength and lurked unwillingly.
Despite this, she still raised her once noble head and looked at Concubine Hui and Chen Jia with hatred. If the gaze can kill, Concubine Hui and Chen Jia already have seventeen or eighteen more holes on their bodies. She gasped for breath, hatefully, and still said: "Slut, you dare to hit me!" ”
Concubine Hui looked at her condescendingly, looking at her beautiful face, which was still well-maintained even though she was nearly forty years old. There is pity in the eyes of the victor when he looks at the loser, and Concubine Xiao just can't stand this kind of gaze the most. "Xiao Lesheng, in the past, you were a noble imperial concubine, except for the queen, no one was as noble as you. Now, you are nothing, your son has rebelled, your family has been wiped out, and you yourself have been demoted to a concubine, don't talk about me, everyone here is more noble than you! I, why can't I beat you! ”
Concubine Xiao had already been subdued, but Concubine Hui didn't step forward to slap her again. She doesn't like to torture each other on **, on the contrary, she prefers to torture each other mentally, which is more in line with her style.
Hearing this, Concubine Xiao struggled a few times, but it was obvious that she couldn't break free from the two mothers-in-law who were specially trained to punish the palace maids.
"When I just entered the palace, I had no relatives, and I finally got the favor of the emperor, and two months later I was pregnant with a dragonborn, but the child only stayed in my belly for five months......" Concubine Hui's eyes were deeply sad.
At that time, she did not have any power in the palace, and only by giving birth to a prince or princess could she occupy a place in the huge harem. After conceiving a child, the joy in her heart was not at all imaginable to outsiders, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and later, when the child she had worked so hard to conceive for five months was miscarried, when the doctor told him that it was a baby boy who had already formed, her heart really hurt almost completely.
"Hahaha......" Concubine Xiao sneered, "You are just a Qinglou woman, what qualifications do you have to give birth to the emperor!" I only hate, I shouldn't have let you give birth to Ye Minzhao, a cheap seed! ”
Concubine Hui sneered: "I have already suffered a loss in your hands, will I suffer the same loss again?" You're underestimating me! When I was pregnant with my first child, I was also on guard, but unfortunately it was difficult to prevent thieves! Later, I learned that you bought off my mother-in-law who I brought into the palace from outside, she has been waiting for me for many years, she is my mother's personal maid, and I am like mother and daughter, I still can't believe that she will betray me! ”
Concubine Xiao sneered: "Yes, it was I who bought her!" I grabbed her only daughter, and her two grandchildren, and threatened her, and she didn't dare not do anything for me! ”
Concubine Hui nodded: "I see, no wonder she betrayed me!" ”
Concubine Xiao was slightly stunned: "After so many years, you haven't even asked her why?" ”
"Back then, you were very powerful in the palace, and I was still a small nobleman, so I naturally didn't dare to offend you. Not only did I pretend to know nothing about your plot, but even when the emperor asked, I told him that I accidentally caused the tire to slip! It wasn't until a few years later that she found a reason to send her out, because I didn't want to startle her! That is, I don't want to alarm Concubine Xiao and make her vigilant.
Concubine Xiao couldn't believe it, how could Concubine Hui endure it for so many years without having a seizure! It's just that this forbearance is too frightening! Concubine Xiao faintly felt that she lost to Concubine Hui, and she was not unjustly lost!
She also vaguely remembered that after Concubine Hui slipped the tire, because she behaved very obediently, she didn't take her too seriously, although she had a beautiful appearance at that time, but she didn't compete for favor much, Concubine Xiao thought she was a soft persimmon, so she didn't guard against her. Two years later, Concubine Hui was pregnant, but she kept it a secret, and Concubine Xiao didn't get the news until she was pregnant.
At that time, the dead children in the palace one after another had aroused the alarm of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother took Concubine Hui to Cining Palace, she couldn't reach into Cining Palace, and she could only sit and watch Concubine Hui give birth to a child!
Fortunately, she already has Ye Minyu, the prince, and later she regarded Concubine Hui as a potential opponent to suppress, and Concubine Hui has always behaved in peace, she always thought that Concubine Hui could be promoted to the concubine position because the emperor had too few sons, and she was able to value her mother and son.
"I didn't see that you were so scheming!"
"I've been watching you fight with the queen coldly, and I saw you kill the children of other concubines one after another, most people can't give birth to children at all, and some people can't live to be a year old even if they can give birth to children. Even the Queen Mother knew that you were the one who made trouble, but she never got the evidence, so you have been at large! To be honest, I admire you for being able to do all this! ”
Concubine Hui paused, and then said slowly: "For so many years, although I hate you to the core, I have always taken you as a teacher and learned from you, I have been able to get to this point, speaking of which, it is still your credit, I should thank you well!" ”
Concubine Xiao had slowly calmed down at this time. She said: "For so many years, I have valued the queen too much and despised you!" I just don't understand......" She looked at Chen Jia: "Chen Jia, why did you betray me, betray the Xiao family!" ”
During this time, she has been thinking about this problem, Chen Jia has always played a very important role in all events, Ye Minyu failed to become the crown prince, and it was also caused by Chen Jia saying a lot of bad things in front of the emperor, but why Chen Jia did this, she never figured it out.
If she doesn't get an answer, she's dead, and she's going to die! "Chen Jia, what is the difference between Bao Yu'er coming to power and Bao Ye Minzhao coming to power, why do you want to give up the easy?"
Chen Jia had been listening to the two women's arguing just now, but he never interjected. At this time, he finally spoke: "Concubine Xiao, in fact, before I met the Xiao family, I already knew Concubine Hui......" There was no trace of fireworks in his words, as if a lover's gentle whispering, in some ways, he is very similar to Concubine Hui, no matter what the situation is, he maintains a graceful demeanor, even if it is harmful, he must smile and hurt others!
The corners of Concubine Hui's mouth hooked up a touch of ridicule: "You probably don't know that Ah Jia and I have known each other since twenty years ago!" If it weren't for my family's downfall, Ah Jia and I would have become husband and wife a long time ago! ”
"Hahaha! He didn't end up being a eunuch! Concubine Xiao smiled gloatingly.
"It was just an accident!" Chen Jia was faint and did not seem very excited. "And this accident is actually due to your Xiao family, so it's normal for me to seek revenge on your son and pull him off the horse."
"What do you mean......" Concubine Xiao couldn't believe it. So, I happened to meet you, and you premeditated it? ”
"Not bad!" Concubine Hui admitted at once, "Once I saw a portrait in the emperor's study, and it looked seven or eight points similar to Ajia, and later I knew that it was Taizong's concubine Xi Guiren, who once had a bad relationship with the emperor, so I had the idea of asking Ajia to enter the palace to help me!" But if it is sent in by me, it is naturally more useful than being sent in by your Xiao family! So I arranged for him to be discovered by Xiao Zongchang on purpose! He is a veteran of the two dynasties, and since you entered the palace, you have been interested in collecting news from the emperor, so you should naturally know about this past! "So, Chen Jia was a double agent from the beginning!
"So saying that Chen Jia's orphans in the previous dynasty are simply fake!"
"You're smart!"
Concubine Xiao couldn't believe it, "The Xiao family has been carefully examined for a long time, and there is no flaw!" ”
Concubine Hui smiled: "It's really fake, it depends on who will arrange it!" ”
Concubine Xiao shouted: "But now, even the emperor believes that Chen Jia is a person from the previous dynasty!" ”
"Actually, although the emperor is afraid of the forces left over from the previous dynasty, he will feel that he will enjoy it very much to let a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty serve him day and night, let him come and go as soon as he is recruited! This is the human heart! You have always claimed to be deeply aware of people's hearts, but in fact, you are not as good as me in this regard! ”
"You've calculated all this?" Concubine Xiao muttered. In this regard, Concubine Hui does know more about orthodoxy than her, and her grasp of people's hearts does surpass Concubine Xiao.
Since that long time, you have started to lay out? I've been holding back until now, and then I suddenly made a move...... Concubine Xiao has always felt that she is extremely smart, and now she finally has to admit that her life has been too smooth, and this forbearance is much worse than that of Concubine Hui.
"You deliberately sent this handle to me, and from then on I will fully support Chen Jia and let him achieve a high position by the emperor's side! You've done a great job! ”
"Haven't you been doing this according to our plan!"
"You have set up a series of poisonous schemes, causing Yu'er to rebel! You guys are so calculating! Concubine Xiao gritted her silver teeth with hatred, she always thought that she was playing with others in applause, but in the end she was toyed with! How can this make her arrogant and arrogant accept!
All the clues are known, Concubine Xiao has already connected the cause and effect in one place, and all the doubts have suddenly become clear. "There is Chen Jia inside, and Ye Yichen outside, as long as there is the support of these two people, your son can successfully ascend to the Ninety-Five Honor, and everyone else doesn't matter. Your abacus is really good! There is another question, what agreement did you reach with Ye Yichen to make him stand on your side at the critical moment! ”
Concubine Hui smiled indifferently: "There is nothing to comment on this matter!" ”
Concubine Xiao said: "This matter, there is nothing difficult to guess, your son has no prestige and no foundation in the court, even if he can ascend the throne, he may not be able to sit on the throne, at this time there must be a strong person to help you sit on the throne, this person is Ye Yichen, am I right?" ”
Concubine Hui was silent, but her face sank.
Concubine Xiao suddenly laughed. "No one can ascend to the throne now, it's just that even if he can ascend to the throne, Ye Yichen will elevate him and turn him into a puppet, the throne you have worked so hard to get is just an empty shelf, hahaha......"
Concubine Hui smiled faintly: "Our mother and son can get to this day step by step, as long as Zhao'er can ascend to the throne, sooner or later one day we will take back all the power, and no one can stop it." My son is wiser than yours, and sooner or later he will become the greatest and wisest monarch in the world, and I am convinced of that! ”
Concubine Xiao's eyes were red, and she shouted loudly: "I curse you and your son not to die well!" ”
Hearing this, Concubine Hui didn't get angry, but said coldly: "This kind of shrew-like shouting is a manifestation of incompetence." You've never bothered to do that! Why is this today? ”
"I will tell the emperor everything you said today!"
"Do you think that from now on, the emperor will be willing to see you, the mother of rebellious ministers and thieves? Do you think I'll tell you to see the emperor again? If I hadn't deliberately released the water today, do you think that with your pair of bracelets, the emperor would be willing to see you again? ”
Concubine Xiao knew that these were true. Concubine Hui can help her son ascend to the throne, and there are still some means to do so! These words, sentence by sentence, were like whips on Concubine Xiao's heart, she trembled and screamed, "Why is this? ”
Concubine Hui said: "The reason why I came to see you for the last time is to tell you, to tell you where you lost?" Your scheming and your wisdom will always be something you are proud of, and I will tell you with facts that there are people in this world who are wiser and better understand people's hearts than you, and I will convince you that you will live in regret and pain forever! ”
It is very simple to eliminate a person from **, but Concubine Hui wants to completely defeat Concubine Xiao mentally. Then you can only start from the place she cares about the most and completely break her faith. Concubine Xiao is not proud of her identity, but her wisdom, but Concubine Hui told her with irrefutable facts that everything she did before was just pretending to be smart, just making wedding clothes for others.
How could Concubine Xiao endure it!
Concubine Hui smiled cruelly: "You are also a person who has read history books, and you probably know how slim the chances of victory are against the central government." Ye Minyu will soon be defeated, his head will be sent to the front of the emperor, and my son will step on his head and ascend to the throne of supreme power. I really want to thank you mother and son, driving Ye Minshu crazy and removing the last obstacle of my son! ”
She stretched out her hand to caress Concubine Xiao's chin, Concubine Xiao desperately wanted to hide, but she was suppressed by her mother-in-law and couldn't move, Concubine Hui's voice was still gentle, making people feel like a spring breeze, but the content made people cold: "You must live, wait until that day, and see with your own eyes, how did the son you have cultivated so hard for so many years die!" ”
Her tone was gentle and soft, and it was June again, the hottest time, but even Chen Jia beside her felt a chill.
When Concubine Xiao heard this, she finally couldn't hold on, her body was soft and she collapsed.
Concubine Hui was satisfied. She looked at Concubine Hui, and a hint of happiness flashed in her eyes. Now Concubine Xiao is like a tiger with her teeth removed, and there is no longer a threat to her. Even the dignity and pride she had were completely destroyed by her.
"Let's go!" She glanced at Chen Jia, Chen Jia agreed, and followed her out of the Qianxi Palace.
Out of the palace gate, Concubine Hui greeted the housekeeper of the palace and instructed her: "Look at her carefully, don't let her die easily!" ”
