Chapter 526: Adding fuel to the fire
If you talk about why Xiangping hid in the wing room of the small Buddha Hall, it was mainly because she wanted to see with her own eyes how Xiao Jinxuan was punished by Empress Chen.
Even if Xiao Jinxuan didn't have anyone to take her life for a while, but seeing the other party's embarrassed appearance, Xiangping felt quite relieved.
And now with Xiangping's side, Shicai is also hiding in the wing, and Ji Lingfeng.
When he looked at Empress Chen, who was so angry that his eyes were closed, Ji Lingfeng immediately glanced at Xiangping vaguely, and quietly said something in the other party's ear.
When Ji Lingfeng's words were heard clearly, a trace of joy and viciousness flashed in Xiangping's eyes.
The next moment, she immediately changed into an anxious look, and quickly ran to Empress Chen's side, and then said in a worried voice:
"What's wrong with you, Queen Mother, this daughter got up too early, and she felt sleepy and borrowed the wing room to take a nap. Just when I heard the sound of porcelain breaking, Xiang'er was awakened and was afraid that you would make a mistake even if you came out quickly. Didn't you say that you wanted to come over, why didn't you see Jinxuan in the Buddhist hall except for the mess. Mother, why are you shaking so much now, but you are sick, don't scare your daughter. ”
In fact, she has been hiding behind the door panel of the wing room, and looking at everything in the small Buddha hall from beginning to end, she knows that Empress Chen is now angry like this.
But in order to show that she was the other party's filial and good daughter, Xiangping still taught Ji Lingfeng, and knowingly asked Chen Hou.
And in order to make her worry look more sincere, Xiangping, who couldn't cry, used the thumbtips of his hands to insert them into the nails of his index fingertips, and then stabbed them hard.
is the so-called ten fingers to the heart, using sharp nails to prick her own nails, this kind of sharp pain in the heart is coupled with the sadness that Xiangping brewed as much as possible, and immediately a few crystal clear tears really dripped down the corners of her eyes.
And just now, I was angry with my two beloved sons, and I felt that I was extremely wronged by Empress Chen.
Now seeing that her beloved daughter was anxious for her to shed tears, such a strong contrast between her son and daughter immediately made Empress Chen feel that only Xiangping was the most intimate with her.
Therefore, she was distressed and quickly took out the Jinpa, and Chen Hou pulled Xiangping to her side, and then helped the other party wipe away her tears, but she herself sighed with a slightly red eye circle and said:
"No matter how good the child is, but it is not as intimate as the daughter, if the queen mother knows that you are sleeping, even if she is angry, she will never wake you up. Xiang'er, you don't know, the Shicai Mourning family has summoned Jinxuan. As a result, I just wanted to punish one of the other party's maidservants, but Xiao Jinxuan was so good that she openly killed Aunt Li under the hairpin in the Buddhist hall. This is not counting the fact that you said that the mourning family hadn't touched her yet, but then the other party fainted, and your two royal brothers who came complained that this was all the mourning family. Thanks to my hard work to pull up your four children, Xian Rui Xianyu now has hard wings, one has become an emperor, and the other has become a prince, and in the eyes of the queen, I can't tolerate me. ”
Looking at the lonely look on Empress Chen's face after speaking, Xiang Ping rolled his eyes twice, and immediately said without adding fuel to the fire:
"Actually, speaking of the queen mother, don't blame Xiangping for being too talkative, maybe you have also noticed that now the relationship between your daughter and Jinxuan is far less close than before. Everyone else thinks that I am still holding a grudge against each other because of Mo Linzhi's affairs. But as a royal princess, where would her daughter be so small-minded. In fact, the reason why I am really alienated from Jinxuan is because my daughter has already seen that her influence on the fifth brother and seventh brother is too great. As a woman, a husband and children are the right way, but Jinxuan is not in charge of the harem, and she often discusses politics with the imperial brother and gets involved in the affairs of the previous dynasty. This is what my daughter is most unaccustomed to and thinks is the most terrifying, so over time I don't dare to get too close to Jinxuan. ”
This will already regard Xiangping as her most filial child, Empress Chen, as soon as she heard the other party's words, she couldn't help but feel that the culprit who caused the tension between her and her son was really Xiao Jinxuan.
thought that the other party was not only in charge of the harem now, but also could influence Zhou Xianrui, who was the emperor, and fascinated Zhou Xianyu, who was good at fighting, under the pomegranate skirt.
The more I thought about it, the more terrible I felt, and decided that once Xiao Jinxuan had a change in her heart, she would definitely be several times more terrible than Empress Xue, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in her eyes for a moment.
Although Xiangping only cared about playing the role of a filial daughter, he didn't see this scene.
But Ji Lingfeng, who was standing beside her, carefully paying attention to every subtle change in Empress Chen's expression from beginning to end, couldn't help but smile inwardly.
In his mouth, he deliberately made his voice like a waiter, pulling it thin and long, and he would never show the slightest flaw, and suddenly said:
"Queen Mother, in fact, as the emperor's biological mother, even if you are the Empress Dowager of the West, your status is far above Queen Xue. Now, judging from the slaves, the emperor and the prince are obviously confused by Concubine Xiao. This kind of woman who is quite a trick, presumably the queen mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she should know that such a charming palace concubine cannot be retained. In fact, as long as the Queen Mother can remove the outliers that disturb the harem, the servants believe that the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Prince will slowly sober up and understand your good intentions, and this is also the heavy responsibility that the Queen Mother needs to shoulder as the Queen Mother. ”
Ji Lingfeng's high-sounding words, listening to Empress Chen's ears, only felt extremely useful.
Not only was her status as the queen mother complimented, but Ji Lingfeng even gave Empress Chen a logical reason to act on Xiao Jinxuan without having to bear a disturbed conscience.
After all, Zhou Xianrui was able to board the plane smoothly, and Chen was named the Queen Mother of the West Palace, and Xiao Jinxuan's contribution can be described as great.
Empress Chen, who is also very clear about this in her heart, if she harms Xiao Jinxuan, she will be more or less condemned in conscience, and she can't help but feel weak.
But now Ji Lingfeng said that dealing with Xiao Jinxuan was to eliminate harm in the harem, in order to rescue the confused Zhou Xianrui and Zhou Xianyu.
For a while, Empress Chen, who felt that she was on the side of justice again, would make her harm Xiao Jinxuan, and she would only feel quite at ease.
However, although he was extremely satisfied with Ji Lingfeng's words, it could even be said that he had spoken to Empress Chen's heart.
But looking at Ji Lingfeng's strange appearance with a mask on his head and his hands wrapped in iron armor, even though Empress Chen had seen the other party's appearance several times, he still couldn't help frowning and said:
"Xiang'er, I heard that Mo Feng has now been promoted by you to be the head of the Golden Jubilee Palace, but the other party's appearance is really too strange. In this harem, there is no slave who wears a mask to serve his master, especially the iron armor on the other party's hands. The mourning family seems to be quite lethal when it looks like it, if you don't pay attention to where you hurt Xiang'er, how can this be. ”
Seeing that Empress Chen's eyes were looking at Ji Lingfeng's body, he immediately became more and more satisfied with the other party's Xiangping. I couldn't help but hurriedly smiled and said:
"Don't be embarrassed by Mo Feng, didn't Xiang'er tell you early in the morning that Manager Mo had to wear a mask because his face was disfigured, so as not to scare others. As for the armor worn by these hands, Mo Feng was already good at martial arts, so naturally he would not hurt his daughter if he was measured. And now that the harem Jinxuan is covering the sky with one hand, her daughter is actually quite panicked all day long. With Mo Feng, a martial arts expert, by my side, Xiang'er also felt a lot more at ease. ”
Seeing Xiangping's pouting coquettish appearance, Empress Chen's slightly dislike for Ji Lingfeng's strange dress completely disappeared.
Especially Ji Lingfeng's words that were quite in line with Empress Chen's heart, she was also extremely satisfied.
Therefore, seeing that Empress Chen changed his scrutinizing gaze, he nodded instead, and then said quite kindly:
"Mo Feng, since Xiangping trusts you so much, the mourning family also thinks that your words are quite insightful after listening to your words asking me to rectify and clean up the harem. Now looking at the six palaces, they are either attached to the remnants of Empress Xue, or they are the palace people who see the wind and make the rudder to please Xiao Jinxuan. The two sons of the mourning family are also at odds with me now, and the only person I can trust in the future is Xiang'er. Since you serve Xiangping wholeheartedly, the mourning family is also willing to choose to believe in you. As long as you can help me come up with a good way to get rid of Xiao Jinxuan, the demon concubine of the country, the mourning family will definitely not forget your goodness, and there will be a lot of rewards. ”
Seeing that after today's slander and framing by Xiangping, and adding fuel to the fire of Shicai, Empress Chen has completely regarded Xiao Jinxuan as a person who disturbs the palace and confuses the court.
Immediately, the Empress Dowager of the West Palace was willing to help, and while Ji Lingfeng was overjoyed, he was even more sure of getting rid of Xiao Jinxuan.
Looking at Empress Chen's rather expectant gaze, Ji Lingfeng thought about it for a while, and then hurriedly bowed down and said:
"Returning to the Queen Mother, Mo Feng feels that now that you don't have any real power in the harem, why not come and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. After all, the two forces of Empress Xue and Xiao Jinxuan are in the Six Palaces, and they can be said to be incompatible, and if they don't destroy each other and suppress the other party, they will definitely not stop. Therefore, since the Queen Mother can't do anything now, she simply continues to maintain the status quo. When they are both defeated and the harem is in chaos again, you can suppress everyone as the emperor's biological mother. At that time, your prestige will rise, even if Your Majesty still hands over the power to Concubine Xiao, but the people in the harem are convinced that only the Queen Mother is the queen mother, and the other party will not be able to make any waves, and you will be at your mercy. ”
When I heard this, I saw that Empress Chen's eyes seemed to light up, as if she suddenly found a lighthouse to guide the people who were lost in the sea, and instantly found the direction of what she was going to do next.
For Ji Lingfeng, who had already assumed the name of Mo Feng to hide his true identity, and felt that the other party could entrust him with important tasks, Empress Chen, after thinking for a while, immediately said with determination:
"Now in this harem, who doesn't know that the person who holds the power is Concubine Xiao. But Mo Feng, you are willing to put forward such accomplished words for the sake of mourning your family, and Xiangping always says that you are extremely loyal, so I will also believe you. In the future, in this palace, you Mo Feng will be the eyes and ears of the mourning family, and firmly help me monitor every move of Zhaoyang Palace, as long as there is a chance, the mourning family must definitely remove the scourge of the fox and the bewitching lord. ”
