Chapter 180: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

Xue Hou's words were so straightforward, how could Hui Mei not understand that the other party was acquiescing to her to deal with Xiao Jinxuan, and would help her when necessary.

In the harem of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is almost Empress Xue who covers the sky single-handedly, with her promise, even if Concubine Liang protects Xiao Jinxuan, Concubine Hui will not be afraid.

knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Empress Xue in a regular manner, Concubine Hui said gratefully:

"Thank you for the queen's mercy and telling me the truth about the death of the concubine's brother, Xiao Jinxuan and I have a deep hatred like the sea, I will not let her leave the palace alive this time!"

Looking at the strong killing intent in Concubine Hui's eyes, Empress Xue smiled calmly and muttered:

"Okay, we are all from a noble family, and the queen who can help you will naturally not shirk, not to mention that your brother also died for my son, and this favor will naturally help, and as long as you do this well, the position of the virtuous concubine promised to you before will definitely become your bag at that time."

Seeing that Concubine Hui heard this, her expression was overflowing with excitement, and a ghostly light flashed in Empress Xue's eyes, and then she waved her hand to signal the other party to leave.

Empress Xue gave an order to expel the guest, Concubine Hui naturally respectfully bid farewell and left, and as soon as she left, an elderly palace maid who stood in Empress Xue's body from beginning to end immediately said:

"Queen Mother, the slave maid thinks that you really shouldn't meddle in the grievances of the Xiao family, not to mention that this concubine Hui is not at ease on weekdays, why bother to help her."

The palace maid who spoke was the aunt of Fengxiang Palace named Zuo Wen, she was the maid carefully cultivated by Prime Minister Xue Cheng for her daughter when Empress Xue got married.

This Aunt Zuo Wen is very good, although her identity is only a palace maid, she is good at medical science, and she also knows the art of poisoning, and she is an expert in nourishing and nourishing the body, medicinal food and medicinal baths.

Empress Xue has been in the palace for decades, no matter what headache and brain fever, there has never been a time when the imperial doctor has been summoned to serve the sick, and it was all Zuo Wen who diagnosed and treated her, because although the harem has made poison framed happen repeatedly, but Empress Xue has always been fine, which is all Zuo Wen's credit.

Therefore, for this bride maid, Empress Xue relied on trust very much, if others questioned her decision like this, Empress Xue would probably have pulled people down and slapped her mouth, but seeing that it was Zuo Wen who was asking, after she smiled, she patiently explained:

"You think I'm helping Concubine Hui? Hehe, I just want to borrow her hand to suppress Concubine Xia, and get rid of that Xiao Jinxuan by the way. The last time Xiantai came to the palace to see me, when he mentioned that Xiao Jinxuan, he was quite jealous in his words, and now that the other party is in the palace, how can he miss such a good opportunity. ”

When Zuo Wen heard this, she also remembered Zhou Xiantai, after Qian Ming's accident, when she entered the palace and talked about it with Empress Xue, in addition to hating King Rui, she did grit her teeth with hatred for the concubine named Xiao Jinxuan, and repeatedly explained that the deaths of Qian Ming and Huayang were related to each other.

Seeing that Empress Xue was just going to take advantage of Concubine Hui, Zuo Wen nodded clearly, but still said worriedly:

"Niangniang, after that happens, if Concubine Hui really gets rid of Xiao Jinxuan, you really plan to give her the position of Concubine Xian, then it is the head of the four concubines, the rank of the same as the deputy queen, just Concubine Hui's temperament, don't look at the sincerity of your surrender to you now, once she is called to gain power, she may not be so obedient."

Hearing this, Empress Xue snorted calmly, and a hint of gloom flashed in his expression.

"The position of a virtuous concubine? Zuo Wen, you don't know, in order to bring down the four concubines, Concubine De and Concubine Shu, it took a lot of effort to bring down the queen, these four concubines have the right to associate the harem, although they are concubines, they can compete with the queen for the power of the palace, the position of the four concubines has been suspended for many years, do you think I will push people to the position of the four concubines, and then add to the hidden dangers for myself. ”

After following Shun Xue for many years, Zuo Wen also knew the character of this master very well, and she immediately smiled and suddenly said:

"The slave and maid understand, Niangniang means to coax the concubine first and let her be used by you, and when the matter is completed, she will never be made a virtuous concubine."

After taking a sip of tea, the corner of Xue Hou's mouth flashed with a sneer and said:

"Yes, if Concubine Hui succeeds and really gets rid of Xiao Jinxuan, although the other party is a concubine, in the end it is a member of the Xiao family, and this girl Yangzhou Xue is still a meritorious person in Da Zhou, so she must push someone out to take the blame for her death, and Concubine Hui will be the best candidate at that time, so let alone the position of a virtuous concubine, even Concubine Hui's life will be precarious."

Then Empress Xue stood up, and with Zuo Wen's support, she walked towards the resting dormitory, and continued:

"Anyway, Concubine Hui is destined to be an outcast, before she died, she helped Benhou get rid of Xiao Jinxuan, maybe I can also blame the death of this concubine on the head of Concubine Liang, after all, the other party can now live in her Yanqing Palace, the position of the fourth concubine is too much of a threat to the queen, this concubine Chen is also lucky, there was a grace to the king back then, Emperor Ming thought about this seventh prince, and always looked at her differently, and the queen didn't even have a chance to start, and now her son Zhou Xianrui was the enemy of my Tai'er in the previous dynasty, If you take this opportunity to get rid of the concubines, it will really kill two birds with one stone. ”

After serving Empress Xue and lying on the chaise longue, Zuo Wen rubbed her shoulders while helping the other party, and said with a smile and relief:

"The queen just relaxes, our second highness is a prince, born with a dragon and phoenix, today's prince is not happy at all, sooner or later he will be replaced by the second highness, not to mention our highness, and the mother is carefully planning for him, and the court has more Xiangye to help and support, that Rui Wang is stubborn, and he is dedicated to assisting the prince, but he is a concubine prince, even if he is regarded as a virtuous king, can he still turn the sky upside down."

Zuo Wen's massage technique is very good, Xue Hou squinted comfortably, and heard the other party boast of Zhou Xiantai's ability, as a mother, she naturally liked to see it, and immediately said with a smile on the corner of her mouth:

"Tai'er, this kid, is indeed very competitive, and he has been carefully cultivated with him since he was a child."

Having said this, Empress Xue paused, then opened her eyes, turned her head to look at Zuo Wen and commanded:

"By the way, you will send someone out of the palace in a while, tell Xiantai, and say that Xiao Jinxuan will help him solve it in the future, so that he doesn't have to be distracted by this girl, and put his mind on more important things, and be sure to remind Tai'er that if the position of the prince does not become his, he can't let down his vigilance for a day."

Zuo Wen answered, and hurried down to do it, Empress Xue is the master of the harem, even if it is late tonight, and the palace gate has fallen for a long time, but her message has not been delayed for a moment, and it has been transmitted directly to the palace of Prince Tai.

And when he heard that it was Empress Xue who came with the news, Zhou Xiantai, who was discussing important matters with Ji Lingfeng in the mansion, immediately led the person into the main hall, and when the messenger finished speaking, he retreated.

Zhou Xiantai's handsome sword eyebrows were raised, and then he snorted and said to Ji Lingfeng:

"This is good, we just talked about it, in the Shuai Mansion, no one can contain Xiao Jinxuan anymore, I am afraid that she will join forces with my fifth brother, but I didn't expect that now she has fallen into the hands of the queen mother, so that it will solve a big trouble for us."

The words of the person who had just passed the message, Ji Lingfeng was on the spot, and naturally he heard it clearly, but he was not too optimistic and said:

"Your Royal Highness, that Xiao Jinxuan must not be underestimated, the queen wants to borrow Concubine Hui's hand to kill two birds with one stone, which is of course good, but I am worried that Concubine Hui is not Xiao Jinxuan's opponent."

Hearing this, Zhou Xiantai, who was still smiling just now, couldn't help but nod in agreement, after all, he and Xiao Jinxuan had also fought each other, and he knew whether the other party was difficult to deal with.

Even Qian Ming, a well-sophisticated marquis, is not Xiao Jinxuan's opponent, and the more Zhou Xiantai thinks about it, the more he feels that he shouldn't expect too much from her.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiantai suddenly laughed again, and then said playfully:

"Ling Feng, you have been studying hard recently, preparing for the autumn exam, you didn't accompany me to the last time the Gu Mansion held a banquet, so you missed a good show. Do you know that His Royal Highness actually saw with his own eyes that Gu Qingge, who was about to become my seventh brother princess, actually knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Jinxuan in front of Xiangping. ”

Zhou Xiantai thought that this matter was interesting at the beginning, and now that Xiao Jinxuan was mentioned, he said it casually.

But after Ji Lingfeng heard this, his brows immediately furrowed, and then he saw a look of thought flashing on his face, and only after half a sound did he condensed:

"Your Highness, you actually saw that Miss Gu family, kneeling down for Xiao Jinxuan, and in front of the eighth princess, don't you think it's too strange to say it? After all, Gu Qingge and the eighth princess are cousins, so it is reasonable for the eighth princess to look at this cousin, she should not be bullied and humiliated, but listen to what you mean, it seems that she did not stop her. ”

I don't know why Ji Lingfeng is suddenly so concerned about this matter, but Zhou Xiantai still recalled it for a while, and then said affirmatively:

"Yes, although I was far away at the time, I couldn't hear what they said, but Xiangping was indeed unhindered, and he was very calm, although this is indeed very abnormal, but there is nothing we need to pay attention to."

Hearing this, Ji Lingfeng's eyes narrowed, and then he shook his head and said:

"Although the matter is small, but Ling Feng always feels that this matter is something else, I am afraid that there is another inside story, Your Highness, think about it, then Xiao Jinxuan is now we can pay close attention, she has never had contact with Concubine Liang, but this lady, why is she summoned into the palace now, and why does Gu Qingge kneel again, these two seem to be incompatible, but if the king is in the middle, then it may all make sense."

Whether Ji Lingfeng is in his previous life or in this life, what he is most proud of is his resourcefulness, and he does have conceited capital in this regard.

Even now, from only two unrelated things, he can peel off the cocoon to explore the truth, this mind is indeed different from ordinary people, and it is impossible not to admire.

Seeing that Zhou Xiantai also looked serious and listened to his speech seriously, Ji Lingfeng sorted out the guesses in his heart, and continued in an orderly manner:

"Your Royal Highness, think about it, that Gu Qingge is now a quasi-princess, and she has been infatuated with the king for many years, and the things that can make her kneel at this time are definitely related to the king. is talking about Concubine Liang, she wants to summon Xiao Jinxuan, this is also after the marriage, a prospective princess, a harem lady, all have something to do with Xiao Jinxuan at this time, so can we guess that in fact, the king is not satisfied with this marriage, and I am afraid that he already has a favorite person, and this woman is Xiao Jinxuan! ”
