I stopped, turned my head to look at Yi Xuan, and did not answer his question, but asked him, "Is the queen also involved in this matter?" Or... The queen is the mastermind at all? ”

I don't believe that the cat could be so coincidental that it could accidentally eat a poisonous meal, the only explanation is that the queen knew that the food was poisonous from the beginning, and Concubine Qing did not intend to murder the queen, but just acted in a play with her.

"You guessed it right." Yi Xuan nodded at me, "This trap has been set since the queen summoned you to the palace that day. The queen has no children, and she also knows that if Fu Yuying ascends the throne in the future, her life will definitely not be easy, so she joined forces with Concubine Qing to support Fu Yuqing to ascend the throne. ”

"It's easy to just join forces," I thought, "and those who benefit will be dispersed." I don't believe that one palace can accommodate two masters, if the queen wants to support Fu Yuqing, she will never let Concubine Qing still live in this world, Concubine Qing is naturally not a fool, I am afraid that she has already had a faint worry in her heart. ”

I chuckled, I had a plan in mind.

As soon as it was nightfall, I asked Yi Xuan to sneak into Concubine Qing's palace with me, and I hid in the corner with him, waiting for the opportunity. Time passed slowly, until the lights went out in Concubine Qing's bedroom, and I finally saw the person I wanted to see.

At this time, it happened to be the time for the guards to change shifts, and there were very few people in the Qingfei Palace. As soon as Xing'er came out of the dormitory, Yi Xuan quickly moved to Xing'er's side when no one was paying attention, and before she could react, he knocked her unconscious and kidnapped her again.

"You take her out of the palace first, after I find out the news I want, I will write the plan into a note and leave it in the Red Dust Pavilion, you only need to enter the palace according to the time on the note to cooperate with me."

Yi Xuan pursed his lips, as if he was a little reluctant, but he finally nodded helplessly, and said softly: "I really owe you and Fu Yuying in my last life, and I have to ask for help every time something happens." ”

I put a mask on my face and replied to Yi Xuan: "Okay, I have helped you with so many complaints, every time you encounter this kind of thing, you are the one who has the most fun, I really don't think you will be troublesome." I said, giving him a blank look.

Yi Xuan looked at me, pretended to lament, and sighed: "It's really a good person who has no reward." ”

I ignored him, and after taking on the appearance of Xing'er, I left the corner and walked towards Xing'er's residence.

After a night's rest, I got up to serve Concubine Qing, when I first entered the dormitory, I was still a little worried, afraid that she would find something wrong, after waiting for a while, seeing that she had not noticed anything wrong, my hanging heart slowly fell.

After Concubine Qing finished putting on her makeup, she took me to Fengqi Palace.

Asking the queen to say goodbye will be the most boring, the left is just a group of concubines accompanying the queen to talk, chatting about some trivial matters on weekdays, and it is just a stick of incense, the queen let them all go back, however, Concubine Qing did not leave with everyone, but stayed.

The queen took her to the inner hall, waved her hand and retreated from the other subordinates in the hall, leaving only her own henchmen.

"The crown prince is now a lamb to be slaughtered, and he can only be slaughtered by others, and the palace and you don't have to worry about it anymore, just wait for the day he is deposed, but if King Xuanwu wants to ascend to the throne of the crown prince, this King Yuwen and King Dunrui are all roadblocks, and they can't be removed if they are not removed......"

Concubine Qing lowered her eyes, thought thoughtfully for a while, and then replied: "Fu Yuying falls, they will definitely be vigilant, if the concubine does something with you at this time, I'm afraid something is wrong." ”

"That's..."The queen took a sip of tea elegantly, sighed and said slowly: "But if you don't solve the two of them early, once the will of the prince is deposed, the power of the two of them in the court will be ready to move, so if King Xuanwu wants to compete for the crown prince's position, it will be a little difficult." ”

"Why don't you wait and see what happens?" Concubine Qing paused for a moment, and then said: "There is a dispute between the left and right, it is better for us to hide the edge first, and after they are both defeated, then a fisherman will benefit." ”

I frowned, I felt that Concubine Qing's words were really familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Fu Yuying had also said it.

This is interesting, it's really not a family that doesn't enter the door, they are really quite popular with the royal people playing the city.

When I went back, Concubine Qing sat on the sedan chair and kept her eyes closed and pondered, as if there was something to worry about, and after a long time, Concubine Qing suddenly asked me: "Xing'er, what kind of calculation do you say this queen is playing?" She didn't go to support Fu Yulian, who didn't have a biological mother, but came to help the palace and help Qing'er ascend to the throne, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was a problem. ”

I hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "Although the queen is now helping the prince and Niangniang, the queen's mind is really difficult to guess, and Niangniang still has to guard against it." ”

Concubine Qing frowned, her expression was a little bored, and she didn't say anything to me again, just let out a long sigh.

I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, sure enough, the open and secret battles in the harem have already expanded the suspicions of these ladies a lot, and I don't need too many words at all, they have already begun to watch out for each other.

After dinner, a talented person came to Concubine Qing's palace, and the two chatted idly and talked happily.

From the conversation between the two of them, it is known that a Shu Jieyu seems to be very favored in recent days, and almost every night she coaxes the emperor to accompany her to the city to admire the moon, and often returns in the middle of the night, which makes the emperor repeatedly dormant in recent days.

"She's killing herself." Concubine Qing fiddled with the dice on the table, and said thoughtfully: "This palace is still worried that there is no way to fix her, she is good, and she digs a pit for herself." ”

The talented person didn't seem to understand much, so he asked Concubine Qing: "What does Niangniang mean?" ”

"Charm the Lord and delay political affairs, isn't this self-defeating?" Concubine Qing sneered, and said, "Is she still sleeping today?" ”

Cairen shook his head and replied: "Today is the birthday of the concubine, the emperor naturally goes to the palace of the concubine, and who will get her." The concubine has always been domineering, and she naturally didn't dare to coax the emperor with any other ghost idea as usual. ”

Concubine Qing was still fiddling with the dice, and said lightly: "Then the palace will go tomorrow to see what kind of flattering means she uses, tonight, let her be happy for such a night." ”

Tomorrow night, Concubine Qing is going to the city tower? I couldn't help but smile secretly in my heart, from Concubine Qing's palace to the city tower, I will definitely pass through the Imperial Garden, then this good show I planned should officially kick off.

At noon on the second day, I asked Concubine Qing for leave and left the palace on the grounds that I missed my family in Beijing.

I went to the Hongchen Pavilion first, put the note prepared in advance at the bustard, and in order to prevent Concubine Qing from suspicion, I wandered around the capital for a few hours before returning to the palace.

When I went back, it was already close to dusk, I didn't go to meet Concubine Qing first, but asked someone to tell her that I had a bad stomach and might not be able to wait for her today, Concubine Qing didn't care much, but just asked someone to tell me that if it was really uncomfortable, I would go and find a doctor by myself.

Just after nightfall, I put the mask I had prepared in advance on my body, sneaked out of Concubine Qing's palace, and came to the Imperial Garden, waiting for Yi Xuan's arrival.

In a few moments, I saw Yi Xuan, who was holding the clothes I wanted.

Yi Xuan handed me the clothes and wondered, "What do you want to do?" ”

I ignored him, took the clothes, and began to change on my own, and then changed into the appearance of a queen.

"Like?" I asked Yi Xuan out loud.

Although I have been studying with Yanhua for about a year, after all, it is the first time to draw human skin, and I am inevitably still a little worried about my ability.

Yi Xuan sighed briefly and said slowly: "With the foil of the moonlight, it doesn't need to be too similar, it can also achieve a fake and real effect." ”

I nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with him.

I cleared my throat and tried to make the queen's voice, and after a while, I said to Yi Xuan: "Wait a minute, you disguise yourself as a eunuch, and cooperate with me to play a play, so that Concubine Qing mistakenly thinks that the queen is going to kill her and adopt Fu Yuqing." ”

Yi Xuan was a little helpless, "Where can I find a set of eunuch clothes?" ”

I replied, "Just kidnap any one, you don't have to do this kind of thing anyway." ”

Yi Xuan looked at me a little depressed, as if he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by me: "Hurry up, Concubine Qing will be here in a while." ”

Yi Xuan sighed faintly and turned to leave.

I closed my eyes, remembered what the queen had in my impression, and began to learn some of her movements and tones.

After a while, Yi Xuan returned to me in a eunuch suit, looking at his appearance, I couldn't hold back for a moment, and laughed, "Don't say it, this dress is quite suitable for you." ”

Yi Xuan was a little faintly displeased, "If you tease me again, you can play this play by yourself." ”

As he spoke, he really turned around and was about to leave, I quickly grabbed his sleeve and smiled: "Okay, okay, I'm not joking, it's important to get down to business." ”

He turned around, but there was still a faint displeasure on his face.

I smiled helplessly in my heart, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, Yi Xuan is really cautious and childish sometimes, which is very different from the feeling of a gentleman when I first met him.

Still, I kind of like to see him look like that.

Yi Xuan and I waited for a long time in the pavilion in the Imperial Garden before we heard the sound of small footsteps not far away.

I immediately stood up from the bench, sorted out my clothes casually, and then stood at the entrance of the pavilion with my back to the direction from which the voice came.

I dressed to admire the moon, imitated the queen's voice, and slowly said to Yi Xuan: "How are things going?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, Ling'er... The matter has been settled. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and naturally understood Yi Xuan's words, which was to pull Ling'er into the water.
