Chapter 395: Listen to my quibbles
Chu Qingli had been mentally prepared for a long time, how could he panic because of Concubine Miao's few questions, and showed his feet, "The second prince's Hubei disaster relief was personally appointed by the emperor, and Xu didn't think of a suitable candidate for a while, so he considered the second prince." "The second prince can go to Hubei for disaster relief, before and after this matter, there is no intervention from Mu Wangfu, even if Concubine Miao is suspicious, she can't be punished with suspicion.
"When the princess said this, could she believe it? The six princes accompanied the emperor to review the recital all day long, why didn't the emperor think of sending the six princes to disaster relief? "The more Miao Guifei thinks about it, the more angry she becomes, everyone says that the emperor values the six princes, and he also loves this son the most, but because of this incident, Miao Guifei feels that the emperor may not love the six princes so much, and the king's heart is unpredictable.
Chu Qingli looked like he was racking his brains, and comforted Miao Guifei and said: "Although the emperor is now in the prime of life, but this body is not as good as before after all, with the assistance of the six princes by his side, he can save a lot of worry, and the emperor must be reluctant to let the six princes go to such a far place." Chu Qingli could only talk nonsense, and first dispel Concubine Miao's suspicions.
Concubine Miao hesitated for a moment, Chu Qingli's words did make some sense, but this disaster relief harvest was the hearts of the people, and the emperor didn't consider the six princes for such an important matter, which really made her unhappy.
Miao Guifei was unhappy, but it was not as simple as sulking in her heart, she used the excuse of illness to drive the emperor out of Weiyang Palace several times, if it wasn't for the emperor's preference, Miao Guifei would not dare to be so fearless.
"Even if the sixth prince doesn't go, why did so many important ministers in the court choose the second prince?" Concubine Miao's tone was quite distressed, could it be that the illness of the second prince made the emperor lick the calf? "In fact, the palace doesn't care about the second prince, he rarely participates in court politics, his foundation is unstable, and he can't pose any threat to the sixth prince, but why is the matter of recommending the second prince proposed by the imperial historian? Doctor Yu Shi is a member of the queen's party, and the queen is obviously the one who poisoned the second prince, why is she acting as a good person now? ”
Speaking of this, Concubine Miao glanced at Chu Qingli thoughtfully, and her tone was tentative, "What did the princess say to the queen that day?" Could it be that the princess was too nervous that day and forgot something? Concubine Miao motioned to Chu Qingli and explained the matter between her and the queen clearly.
Now Chu Qingli is left and right are suspected, this is not good, he must get the trust of Miao Guifei, denying that if Miao Guifei is targeting the second prince, wouldn't it be self-defeating?
Chu Qingli cautiously raised his eyes and glanced at Miao Guifei a few times, but he lowered his head extremely quickly, not daring to look at Miao Guifei's eyes. Chu Qingli's appearance of being a thief made Miao Guifei more sure that there must be some ulterior secret between Chu Qingli and the queen.
Concubine Miao was a little out of breath, leaning forward, eager to learn something from Chu Qingli's mouth. But she was afraid that her appearance would scare Chu Qingli, so she didn't dare to speak.
Miao Guifei swallowed her saliva, pretended to be calm and looked at Chu Qingli comforted, and said: "Don't worry, as long as you tell the truth, this palace will definitely not embarrass you, and this palace also knows that even if you say something, it must be the queen who forced you, and this palace is not an unreasonable person, and it will definitely not be angry with you." Miao Guifei pretended to be generous, which made Chu Qingli look a little unbearable.
Chu Qingli suppressed the corners of his mouth that he wanted to rise, pursed his lips, looked at Miao Guifei with timid eyes, and asked timidly, "Really?" ”
Miao Guifei couldn't directly break Chu Qingli's mouth and let her quickly tell everything. Concubine Miao took a deep breath and nodded heavily at Chu Qingli, "Everyone here can testify, this palace will definitely not embarrass you, and the princess doesn't have to worry, although she will tell everything she knows." Concubine Miao's heart was pounding in her chest, she was looking forward to learning some secrets related to the queen from Chu Qingli's mouth, but she was worried that among these secrets, there were means against the six princes and her.
Chu Qingli looked around, as if to determine whether he was safe. In fact, if Miao Guifei really wanted to attack Chu Qingli, how could the people in her palace help Chu Qingli speak?
However, Chu Qingli didn't care about this, so under the fragile guarantee of Concubine Miao, Chu Qingli still spoke. "The concubine's guess is right, the queen didn't let me go so easily that day, but I didn't deliberately hide it from the concubine, yes...... It was the queen who didn't allow me to speak, so I ...... I'm just ......"
Chu Qingli's speech today was very different from before, but because he was too eager to pursue the truth, he passed by the truth.
Miao Guifei pointed her finger at Chu Qingli and shook it twice in front of Chu Qingli, "These are not important, you hurry up and tell me, what did the queen say to you that day?" Concubine Miao stopped Chu Qingli from continuing to feel guilty in time, urging her to quickly explain the most important part.
Chu Qingli coughed lightly, his voice remained faint, and there was a trembling that seemed to be absent, "The queen's day...... That day was to ask me how to make the eldest prince regain the emperor's affection, after all, the eldest prince has rich experience in government affairs, and knows that disaster relief will soon be a matter of disaster, which is why the queen is so anxious. ”
"Did the queen really ask you that?" Miao Guifei narrowed her eyes, and the seeds of doubt in her heart quietly sprouted, "The queen doubted the relationship between you and the palace that day, why did she suddenly tell you these inner words again?" Isn't the princess joking with the palace? Although these words seem like what the queen would say, thinking about the recent events, Concubine Miao felt that there was something strange in them.
Chu Qingli opened his innocent eyes and shook his head, "I don't know very well, probably because the queen thinks that the six princes can now get the emperor's attention, and I have contributed a lot to it, so I also want to ...... Want to know if there's anything I can do. ”
When Concubine Miao heard Chu Qingli's words, her heart began to waver, to say that the queen was looking for Chu Qingli because of the six princes, it was somewhat credible. Miao Guifei raised her chin and motioned for Chu Qingli to continue, "What did you say to Queen Hua?" ”
Chu Qingli smiled, with some untimely naivety, "Naturally, I can't really make ideas for the queen, I told the queen that the emperor is angry, and he may not be angry for a while." ”
