Chapter 171 is clearly worth ten thousand gold
"Yifang." Liu Heng grabbed Yifang's hand, and she quickly pulled it out, so he had to say like this, "This king only wants you to be dissatisfied with Madame Yu, but her father is a minister in the court, and this king can't move her for a while." ”
"The concubine has already said that if the king is worried that the concubine has hatred for Madame Yu and intends to hurt her, there is no need to worry." Yi Fang lowered his eyes, "Mrs. Yu's position is above the concubine, and the concubine will never dare to commit this kind of thing." ”
"This king heard that the people around Madame Yu have bullied your two personal maidservants?" Liu Heng had already asked Wu Ping to investigate the grievances between the Guangyang Hall and the Tongfu Palace, and he naturally knew these things that he could know if he inquired a little.
Yi Fang was silent, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence to this matter.
"If you know this, why don't you stand up for them? Even if you are guilty of the following crimes against Mrs. Yu, why be polite to a few slaves and maids? Liu Heng thought that Yifang had never been a person who was afraid of things, and there might be hidden secrets in this matter.
Yifang smiled helplessly: "Has the king heard of a word?" It is circulated among the people, although it is a little vulgar, but it does make sense, this word is called dog fighting human power. If it was the people who were punished by the concubines for them, they would definitely sue Madame Yu, and in the end, the entire Guangyang Hall would not be able to stay alone. Besides, the concubine's maidservants didn't want the concubine to be bullied by Madame Yu again, so they let these things endure, if the concubine hadn't inadvertently seen the injuries on their bodies, they would still be kept in the dark. ”
Yifang said this in one breath, but he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Don't go to your heart, the king, the concubine has no mouth for a while." ”
"Does Madame Jade often use her position to pressure you?" Liu Heng paused for a long time before he asked such a sentence.
Yifang didn't make a sound, Liu Heng knew it in his heart. He called Wu Ping, who was waiting outside the door, in: "You go to the Tongfu Hall to spread the will of the king, Mrs. Yu is arrogant and domineering, misbehaves, and is demoted to a lover, and is grounded in the Tongfu Hall for two months." ”
"Huh?" Wu Ping raised his head in surprise, and was just glared at by Liu Heng, before he lowered his head again, "No." ”
Liu Heng didn't see it, lying in the Yifang behind him, a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth when he heard that Mrs. Yu had been demoted to a beloved. Later, when Liu Heng turned around, he returned to his usual expressionless appearance.
"Now that her position is one level lower than yours, the people of Guangyang Hall will no longer be bullied." Liu Heng comforted her softly.
At this time, Zili came in with a bowl of soup and medicine, as if he didn't expect Liu Heng to be here, so he was stunned for a moment before saluting.
"Your Majesty, it's time for a beauty to drink medicine."
"Yifang, this king will come to see you tomorrow." Liu Heng left such a sentence, and said a few more words to Zili before walking out of the dormitory.
As soon as Liu Heng walked on the front foot, Teng Ling walked in quickly. She was also standing outside the door just now, and she should have heard the conversation inside, knowing that Liu Heng had demoted Mrs. Yu's position by two levels for the sake of Yifang.
"What's wrong with you? Is there anything happy happening? Zili has been helping Yifang make medicine, and he has never come here, and when he saw the two of them looking at each other and smiling, he didn't understand what was going on.
Yifang was about to speak, but Teng Ling preemptively explained with a happy face: "The king has already ordered that Mrs. Yu be a good person." ”
"Really?" Zili was a little incredulous, and looked at Yifang as if confirmed.
Yifang also smiled and nodded to her, and Zili really believed it.
"It's a pleasure! Yifang's pain these days has finally not been in vain, and we are finally looking forward to the day of emergence. The next time I see those people in the Tongfu Temple, I don't have to go around again. ”
"But don't be too complacent, try not to have conflicts with the people of the same floating hall, so as not to be caught by them." Yifang just wanted to live in peace, and didn't want this resentment to come and go endlessly.
Teng Ling pulled Zili and nodded: "We are different from those people, we won't do some things that fall into the ground." ”
This matter is resolved, which does not mean that this harem is really as calm as Yifang hopes. Yuliang was grounded, but Wen Jiayi began to emerge again.
Her previous silence was by no means to see through the red dust and wanted to live a peaceful life in the palace. just found that Mrs. Yu was very easy to be provoked, so she took advantage of the situation and let her fight with Yifang. But now it seems that Yifang is superior, and since this is the case, Wen Jiayi will also have to find another gun. This time, she set her sights on the queen.
Wen Jiayi asked the family to collect all kinds of rare gifts and brought many to the queen. In addition to her soft ears, the queen was still very hospitable, although she and Wen Jiayi had no previous contacts, but she brought gifts to visit, and the queen still welcomed her in.
"The concubine visits the queen."
"No need to be polite, sit down!" The queen had prepared the tea in advance and ordered it to be served.
"Queen Niangniang, these things are the concubine's thoughts on the queen's mother, although they are not as good as those given by the king to Su Meiren, but they are also some rare things." Wen Jiayi deliberately brought up the matter.
"Did the king send anything to the plain beauty?" The queen noticed this. She had been worrying about the eldest prince's injury these days, and she hadn't noticed the rumors outside.
"Why doesn't the queen know it?" Wen Jiayi pretended to be surprised, "Previously, Su Mei was poisoned by oleander, and in order to appease her, the king actually rewarded her with more than a dozen rare treasures that were carefully kept in the treasury. ”
"Sumei is poisoned? What's the big deal? The queen thought about the Yao that Yifang had saved, so she naturally had to care about her.
This was something Wen Jia didn't expect, she thought that the queen would notice first, and it must be that the king was so generously rewarded.
"It's fine, it should be fine now." Wen Jiayi replied and brought the topic back, "But that plain beauty really doesn't know what to do, the king is so generous, she actually sent everything back mercilessly, and fiercely refuted the king's face." ”
When the queen heard this, she nodded: "Su Meiren has done a good job, it is indeed unheard of for the king to give such a generous reward, and if she accepts it, it will be even more inappropriate." ”
Wen Jiayi couldn't help frowning, she didn't expect the queen to maintain Yifang like this, this was really unexpected by her, she thought about it and started in a different direction.
"What the queen said is that Su Meiren has always been knowledgeable, and I heard that the second prince is also very close to her!" As soon as Wen Jiayi said this, the queen frowned inadvertently. Although it was immediately relaxed, this small movement was still captured by Wen Jiayi. She thought in her heart, it seems that she can start with the second prince.
"Su Meiren is Zhiyao's life-saving benefactor, and Zhiyao is naturally closer to her." Although the queen said this, she was a little unhappy in her heart.
Zhiyao is her son, although he is not the eldest son, but he is smart and clever, and he was allowed to be close to Yifang before, that is, the eldest prince is about to grow up, and if everything goes well, he will definitely be a candidate to succeed to the throne in the future. But now that the eldest prince has injured his leg, it is a question of whether he can walk normally in the future, let alone succeed to the throne. Now it is Zhiyao who can take on the big responsibility, if Zhiyao is still too close to Yifang now, it will be a disaster.
"Actually, the concubine has always had a guess, but I don't know if to talk about it or not?" Wen Jiayi pretended to be cautious, and the queen was interested.
"You say."
Wen Jiayi lowered her voice: "Didn't the queen think that the last Muzhou hunt was too coincidental?" The eldest prince had just injured his leg, and the second prince was rescued by Su Meiren. ”
"What do you mean?" The queen furrowed her brow.
"The concubine is thinking, if someone deliberately hurts the eldest prince and then tries her best to get close to the second prince, then what is her purpose?" Wen Jiayi said step by step, "The second prince is still young, and it is easy to be bewitched. If he often stays with some well-intentioned people and listens to some unfavorable words to the queen, even if the queen is his biological mother, the second prince may alienate you. And after the eldest prince was injured, the second prince was obviously the prince who was most valued by the king. The concubine is bold to say, if she masters the second prince, it is equivalent to mastering the lifeblood of the entire kingdom in the future! ”
The queen was a little disturbed by what she said, so she asked, "Are you...... You're saying that it was all planned by the plain beauty? Did she hurt her? ”
At this time, Wen Jiayi took a sip of tea, and his tone became less certain: "The concubine is just a bold guess, if there is anything offended, please ask the queen to forgive her sins." ”
"No, there's some truth to what you're saying." The queen's mind was a little confused, but she still thought about it, "But Su Meiren didn't care about her own life and saved Zhiyao from the uncontrollable galloping immediately!" ”
"Queen Niangniang, regardless of her own life, that's just a saying, whether she really sacrificed her life to save people, or prepared in advance, now only Su Mei knows."
"No, plain beauties don't do that." The queen still couldn't believe it.
Wen Jiayi didn't want the queen to hate Yifang this time, but just planted a thorn in her heart, so that this thorn would slowly sprout in the future. She ended the topic there, and the queen had a feeling of inability to let go.
"Queen Niangniang, among the things that the concubine brought to Niangniang today, there is a pastry that melts in the mouth, which is made by the craftsman in the concubine's hometown, Niangniang try it!" Wen Jiayi went to get the pastries, and glanced at the queen with her spare eyes, she really looked worried, it seemed that her words were very effective.
"The Queen?" Wen Jiayi waited for a while before calling again.
The queen came to her senses, reached out and took a piece of the pastry she was holding in her hand and put it in her mouth, but she still looked like she was not giving up.
"Queen Niangniang, the plain beauty is here." The palace maid outside suddenly came in to report.
