Chapter 1777: Collusion with the Queen
Ling Ruo suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said, "It's okay, I promise you and Yan Guiren to go back and rest, and we will talk about it tomorrow." ”
After everyone got up and said goodbye, Ling Ruo called Yang Hai and whispered in his ear: "Go and keep an eye on Xu Yu and see where she goes." ”
Hearing this, Yang Hai was very surprised, and he didn't understand what Xu promised to be staring at, but he understood that now was not the time to ask these questions, and he quickly went out after agreeing. However, Sanfu asked after he left, "Master, do you think Xu promised is suspicious?" ”
"Bengong doesn't know what to say, but Bengong did see Xu promise to make eyes with Jin Gu, and let Jin Gu follow her words." Ling Ruo rubbed his faintly aching temples and said, "The matter of the sixth elder brother, this palace can already be sure that the Liu family blamed the Qi Jia family, what is missing is only conclusive evidence." When the palace said that he wanted to paint a portrait of Begonia and then take it to all the pharmacies in the capital to ask, Liu was obviously afraid, at this time Jin Gu spoke, it should be that she wanted to bear all the charges for Liu, but Xu promised to stop her, don't you think it's strange? ”
Sanfu frowned and said, "So, Xu promised to help Concubine Qian?" But isn't she on the same front as Yan Guiren? Besides, she also informed her master of this. ”
"It was precisely because Bengong couldn't figure this out that he asked Yang Hai to follow the Xu family, hoping to find out." Ling Ruo rubbed her temples for a while, but she still felt uncomfortable, so she asked An'er to help her go inside to lie down for a while, while Sanfu stayed in the hall and waited for Yang Hai to come back.
Let's say that Yang Hai took advantage of the cover of the night to follow Xu all the way, and after she sent Qi Jia's back to Yonghe Palace, she turned around and left, but the direction she was going in was not Yikun Palace where she and Xu Chang lived, but Kunning Palace.
When Xu Chang knocked on the gate of Kunning Palace and walked in, Yang Hai's face was full of surprise, Xu promised to come to see the queen at this time, there is no doubt that it must be talking about what happened today, but why did she go to tell the queen, and she was still in such a hurry, what the hell was Xu promise doing? Although he was curious, he couldn't help but enter the gate of Kunning Palace if he wanted to, so he could only wait outside, and waited for half an hour before seeing Xu come out of it, this time she really returned to Yikun Palace and didn't go anywhere else.
Yang Hai was afraid that something would be missed, so he waited outside the Yikun Palace for a while, and indeed did not see the Xu family come out again before returning to the Chengqian Palace to die.
But what Yang Hai didn't know was that not long after the Xu family left, a figure walked out of Kunning Palace and came all the way to Yongshou Palace, this person was Xiao Ningzi, who was the most favored by the Nala clan.
"Queen?" When Ling Ruo heard this word from Yang Hai's mouth, she sat up from the couch in shock, she couldn't have imagined that there was actually the queen's involvement in this matter, could it be that the Xu family was the queen's person?
Thinking about it carefully, since the New Year, especially after he raised Qi Jia's family, the Xu family rarely came to his place, even if he came here occasionally, he just said goodbye, and there were not too many other words, and he didn't mention anything about grace or position, as if he didn't care at all.
At that time, she was quite strange, because even Xu Changzai's temperament had some expectations for grace, but Xu didn't have the slightest, which was really unreasonable. But there were too many things at that time, and it was Hongli's side of the matter, and it was Xu Chang's matter, so I didn't think about it. Now that she thinks about it, I'm afraid that after she sees herself lifting Qi Jia's family, she will turn to the queen.
If this is the case, then Xu's intention and intention to appear in the Imperial Garden today, and her intention and intention to help Qi Jia's report to him are debatable.
It seems that this Xu family is not shallow-minded, and he obviously took refuge in the queen, but he concealed it so well, if he hadn't accidentally seen her and Jin Gu's eyes, he became suspicious, but he was afraid that she would still be kept in the dark.
Sanfu came in with Yang Hai, and he also heard Yang Hai's words, and said in a condensed voice: "Master, I'm afraid that it is not a coincidence that Xu promised to appear in the Imperial Garden today, but it was premeditated. ”
"You said that the queen of the concubine who harmed the sixth elder brother and blamed the Yan nobles also knew about it?" It was Yang Hai who spoke, and without waiting for Sanfu to answer, he said to himself: "If this is the case, just now Xu promised to help Concubine Qian speak, how could he not say a word, watching the Liu family's conspiracy be uncovered by the master little by little." Otherwise, she could also pretend to see the situation when the sixth elder brother fell, and said that Yan Guiren pushed it. ”
"I didn't mean that, I mean that the queen probably guessed that Concubine Qian would deal with Yan Guiren, so she sent Xu Promise to secretly follow Yan Guiren, which also explains why Xu Promise appeared in the Imperial Garden so coincidentally."
Ling Ruo nodded and said: "The Liu family and the palace are mortal enemies, if she wants to deal with the palace, she must rely on the power of the queen, so she and the Xu family should be an alliance, and it stands to reason that the Xu family should help her, why is this happening?" ”
Facing Ling Ruo's inquiry, Sanfu thought for a while and said, "What kind of person does the master think Concubine Qian is?" ”
"Concubine Qian......" Ling Ruo swiped her broken hair behind her ears and said: "This person has scheming and more means, and the most important thing is that she is ruthless enough. ”
Sanfu bowed his head and said: "The slave dares to ask the master again, do you think such a humble concubine will be willing to become a chess piece in the hands of the queen?" ”
"Are you in the Kaoben Palace?" Having said that, Ling Ruo still replied: "According to this palace's understanding of Concubine Qian, she is by no means a person who is willing to be taken advantage of, even if it is to deal with this palace, she will not be willing to become a pawn in the hands of the queen. ”
"What the master said is that the queen and the concubine are both people who like to use others, so even if they cooperate, they are also wary of each other, and they are always thinking of various ways to use each other to achieve their own goals, which leads to a certain difference, although it is very inconspicuous, but the queen will never allow this kind of difference to exist, and will definitely try to eliminate it, and then firmly control the concubine in her hands." It's not that Sanfu underestimates the Liu clan, but that he has been with the Nala clan for so many years, and he hasn't seen anyone who can use the Nala clan, except for Ling Ruo, who has suffered in anyone's hands. But to put it mildly, although Ling Ruo restrained her for a while, he never found a chance to uproot her.
Ling Ruo wrapped around the handkerchief in his hand and said slowly, "You mean to say that the queen is conniving at all this?" ”
"The queen's best trick has always been to save others after they have fallen to the bottom, so that that person, whether for gratitude or revenge, will willingly become a pawn in the hands of the queen to get rid of those who have harmed her. If the minion's inference is correct, the queen should want to repeat the old trick this time. After that, he said uneasily: "The master must be careful, in case the queen really succeeds in controlling the concubine, I am afraid that it will be very unfavorable to the master." ”
