Chapter 176: Breaking Out of the Trap
"Queen Mother, it seems that Su Mei has caused dissatisfaction in the palace these days, do you want the slave maid to mention it?" After sending Yuliang away, Rong Yang walked up to the Queen Mother and asked softly.
The Queen Mother waved her hand: "No, the mourning family believes that Heng'er will be measured." Besides, this Yuliang is a restless person, so just listen to her words. Compared with her, the mourning family still prefers the child in Yifang. ”
"Wasn't the Queen Mother very dissatisfied with Su Meiren before?" Rong Yang sometimes doesn't quite understand the likes and dislikes of the Queen Mother.
"Previously, because she was from Chang'an, the mourning family was always suspicious of what Empress Lu would do, but now it seems that she is quite innocent. Besides, looking at her current situation, the mourning family looks very much like the mourning family when they were young. The Queen Mother sighed lightly, as if caught in a memory.
Rong Yang stood quietly on the side and did not make a sound to disturb. She knew that the Queen Mother often recalled the past, and every time at this time, she stood silently beside her, letting her immerse herself in the past, and those beautiful or painful experiences always occupied a large part of her heart, and she couldn't forget it.
"Heng'er has been to the harem recently, has he really been anywhere else except for Guangyang Palace?" The Queen Mother finally came back to her senses and asked.
Rong Yang thought about it for a while, and nodded: "Except for going to the queen's palace twice, but that was just to check the second prince's homework, and he didn't stay overnight." ”
"You help the mourning family to bring a message to the Guangyang Palace......" The queen mother stopped suddenly halfway through her words, and waved her hand for a while, "That's it, the mourning family worked hard back then, and all the means were exhausted, but it still failed to let the emperor's eyes stay on the mourning family for a while and a half, and now she can get such favor from Heng'er, which can be regarded as her creation." The mourning family still doesn't wade into this troubled water, let them go! ”
"The queen mother is wise, and the slaves and maids also feel that the affairs of the next generation should be solved by themselves." Rong Yang always felt that the Queen Mother had become more and more tired over the years, and always thought that she had to rest well, and these things were still taken care of, after all, it was time to retire for the rest of her life.
"By the way, Heng'er has been slacking off in political affairs these days?" The Queen Mother still asked uneasily.
Rong Yang shook his head: "No, the king still handles everything in the court in an orderly manner as before." And with such a virtuous helper as Su Meiren by his side, it seems to be more handy! There is also the second prince's homework, which has also improved a lot recently. The slave and maid sent people to inquire according to the previous practice, and the second prince has not only improved in his homework recently, but also often followed the king to learn some political affairs, and has been praised by many ministers. ”
"Really?" The queen was beaming with joy.
"It's true, I heard that the second prince loves Su Mei very much, and when the king goes to Guangyang Palace, he often brings the second prince over and teaches him with Su Mei, and they get along very harmoniously." Rong Yang also felt that the second prince was cute, and when he mentioned it, his face was full of smiles.
"Good! What the mourning family wanted to get when they were young, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get it, but they never thought that now, it was all realized in Yifang, and the mourning family couldn't be destroyed. The Queen Mother turned to Rong Yang with a smile and ordered, "You have to go to the Guangyang Palace to help the mourning family bring a message to Su Meiren, so that she can often come to the mourning palace to sit and sit, the mourning family really wants to see what the people who live in happiness will be like." ”
"No." Rong Yang was a little bitter when he heard this, and when he saw the Queen Mother rubbing her temples, he persuaded, "The Queen Mother is tired, the slave maid is waiting to rest for a while!" ”
The Queen Mother was very quiet here, but the Yuliang who had just gone out was full of grief and indignation, she went to find the Queen Mother with full hope, but not only did she not pry the Queen Mother to punish Yifang, but she was even said a few words with herself, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.
"Beloved, although the Queen Mother said that she ignored what we said, it doesn't mean that others don't pay attention to it!" The maidservant next to her reminded her at the right time.
"What do you mean by that?" Yuliangren didn't turn a corner in his mind for a while, so he asked puzzled.
The slave maid was thinking that although the queen mother was the master of the harem, she was an elder after all, and she was old, so she didn't care about these trivial things. But Su Mei has always dominated the king, and the other concubines must be angry in their hearts, if the lover can say that they can make a move, if they succeed, they can get rid of the Su Mei, even if they fail, this matter has not passed through the hands of the lover, you can also get out of the whole body! ”
"That's right! How come I didn't notice you were so smart before? Yuliangren's eyes lit up, and he asked the maidservant girl again, "Then tell me, who should we start with?" ”
"Other concubines with lower ranks are useless, not only are they timid, but they also have little right to speak, and now only the queen and Yue Liangren can be ranked." The maidservant's eyes rolled, "The queen has been worried about the eldest prince recently, and she was reprimanded by the king last time for the trouble of finding a plain beauty, so there should be no more action in the near future." ”
"So the best option is...... Pleasant people? ”
The maidservant nodded, guided Yuliangren to look up, and walked to the gate of Yueliangren's palace. Since this is such a coincidence, of course I have to go in and pay a visit. Yuliangren smiled softly, turned around and walked inside.
"Yo, it's Sister Yuliangren who is here. I haven't seen you for a few days, but my sister has lifted her grounding, and she looks like she's lost a lot of weight! Wen Jiayi saw that Yuliang was favored before, and she was still kind of stubborn, but now that she is in trouble and has been demoted to the same position as her, she is naturally no longer as attentive as before.
Yuliangren heard her sarcasm, tried his best to hold back his temper and said, "Yes, the grounding has finally been lifted." But I heard that these days, Su Meiren has won the king's favor again, even if Sister Yue is not grounded, I'm afraid life will be just as difficult! ”
Yuliangren's words really poked Wen Jiayi's heart, and she sighed inadvertently: "Su Meiren has her means to be favored, and we can't compare." ”
"Sister Yue, don't you want to be like a pixel beauty, and often accompany Wang Shang's side?" Yuliang began to follow the good path.
Wen Jiayi was originally very wary of her, but in a few words, she knew that she was also a poor person who thought of the king, so she gradually let go of her guard and was willing to say a few more words to her.
"In this harem, is there a woman who doesn't want to always be by the king's side? It's just that the king doesn't like it, and even if he goes, it will only be an eyesore. Rather than being rejected by the king, it is better to stay in his own place with peace of mind, at least the king remembers that there is such a person, and he will turn around and take a look. ”
"I used to think like my sister, but that plain beauty was so deceitful that I couldn't swallow this breath." Yuliang pretended to be distressed.
"How? Could it be that as soon as you came out, what kind of conflict did you have with Su Meiren? Wen Jiayi has always been a little curious, although she has provoked the relationship between Yuliang and Yifang, but it will not let her plant such a big hatred, why did she just get out of the ground, she is so bitter.
"Truth be told, I just came from the study. I thought that after lifting the grounding, I should go to see the king, but when I walked to the door, I heard the voice of Su Meiren coming from inside, and it was still broad daylight, so I laughed with the king inside, and talked about my sister! ”
"What do you say about me?" Wen Jiayihu asked.
"That plain beauty laughed at her sister for coming from Chang'an with her, but she was not as good as her, and she was still arranging her sister in front of the king!" Yuliang naturally said how to make Wen Jiayi angry.
"Really?" Wen Jiayi didn't believe what she said, although she was dissatisfied with Yifang, but she also knew something about her temperament, but what Yu Liangren said didn't seem to be true.
"Of course it's true, I've heard it with my own ears."
"That's disgusting." Wen Jiayi pretended to agree, but she wanted to see what she wanted to do.
"That's right, if Su Meiren stays by the king's side all the time, then my sister will never come out." Yuliangren put on a look of kindness for Wen Jia.
"So what can we do?" Wen Jiayi sighed, his tone was very helpless.
"If Su Meiren is no longer in the palace, the king may be able to take a look at us!" Yuliangren took another step.
"Not in the palace?" Wen Jiayi furrowed her brows, "But it's so decent, how could she go out of the palace?" ”
Yuliangren didn't answer, but the maidservant beside her rushed to say: "If you are not in the palace, going out of the palace is naturally one way, but there is another way...... When a person dies, he is naturally not in the palace. ”
Wen Jiayi covered his mouth in surprise, but there was no panic in his eyes: "You can't talk nonsense, if you are heard by others, it will be a big crime to kill your head." ”
"I originally thought that my sister was a heroine among women and would do her best to win the favor of the king, but I didn't expect it to be just talking." Yuliangren pretended to get up to leave, but was stopped by Wen Jiayi from behind.
"What do you think should be done?"
Yuliangren looked back with satisfaction: "Sister, do you know that there is a poison that can kill people on the spot after drinking it?" ”
"Killed on the spot?" Wen Jiayi was puzzled, "Isn't this equivalent to ending up together?" ”
"Sister, listen to me! If it is a chronic poison, although it is safe, it is not guaranteed to be detected one day, and the previous efforts will be lost, and this poison that can kill people on the spot can save a lot of trouble. Yuliangren said in a low voice, "My brother got a jade pot a few days ago, and the jade pot was very cleverly made, called Yin and Yang Pot. If you don't touch the trap above, it's like a normal flask, but if you open the trap, you can pour poison out of another opening, and then close the trap again, and it's back to normal. ”
"Is there really such an ingenious thing in the world?" Wen Jiayi was quite skeptical.
Yuliangren smiled: "It's true. ”
