Chapter 163: Transformation
When the royal car arrived in Qizhou, Deng Jixuan had already become the second concubine to be favored by Li Jingxi, and even Wang Zhiying, who had infinite scenery before, was compared to her.
Luo Yiyi has been frowning recently, since she left the palace and toured the south, she has never slept because of her health. Now that there is Deng Zhenxuan, the woman who is more like a concubine than her, where can the emperor still think of her? Is she going to fall out of favor so silently? So what is the point of her being sent to the palace by her family? No! She is not reconciled! She can't lose the emperor's favor, and the Luo family can't lose the emperor's protection!
Perhaps because the two have similar appearances, they are always inexplicably hostile to each other.
still remembers that the day before yesterday, Luo Yiyi and Deng Jixuan met in the corridor of the Qizhou Palace. Luo Yiyi didn't want to communicate more with Deng Zhenxuan, so she hurriedly blessed her body and wanted to hide from it. Although Luo Yiyi's grade is one level lower, after all, Deng Jixuan entered the palace a year earlier, and he can be regarded as a senior, so it is understandable that he did not perform a proper courtesy. It's a pity that Deng Jixuan didn't give up.
"Stop!" Deng Zhenxuan stopped Luo Yiyi, who wanted to leave, with a dissatisfied face.
Luo Yiyi's back paused, and she turned around reluctantly: "Is there anything else wrong with my sister?" ”
"Sister? If memory serves, the humble man was born in June, right? And I'm on the ninth day of February. You say, "Which of us should call someone 'sister'?" The two were born in the same year, if it weren't for Deng Zhenxuan missing last year's election, Luo Yiyi would have called her "sister".
Luo Yiyi suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and reluctantly called "sister", but Deng Zhenxuan still didn't seem to plan to let her go like this.
Deng Zhenxuan smiled contemptuously: "That's right." However, I'm in the concubine position, and Sister Qian is just a nobleman, so the salute you made to me just now doesn't seem to be very beneficial! "Subordinates need to squat and kneel to bow to their superiors.
"You!" It's just too deceitful! Luo Yiyi was so angry that her chest hurt.
"You don't want to bow to me? That's fine. Then I can cure you for a crime of disrespect, right? Hyacinth, you look at the humble man for me, and let her stand under the sun for an hour as a punishment. After saying that, he wanted to go away triumphantly.
Luo Yiyi's maid Bang Xin really can't stand it, isn't this obviously bullying her little master? Bang Xin took the risk and said: "Ask Concubine Rui to raise your noble hand, my little master has a heartache and can't be affected." She can't bear to punish her like this! Once the little master has three longs and two shorts, it is not easy for Rui Concubine Niangniang to explain to the emperor, right? ”
"Ho, what a faithful servant of the Lord! It seems that a humble person not only does not understand the rules, but also does not restrain his subordinates? Since the weak of the humble cannot be punished, let your servants be punished in your place. The servant confronted the little master, slapped me twenty times, and punished me by kneeling under the porch for two hours. Even her master's share was fined! "Deng Zhenxuan is serious now.
"The slave obeys." Feng Xin smiled viciously, and slapped Bang Xin twice with lightning speed. Before Bang Xin could react, two loud mouths slapped into her face......
Seeing her maid being punished but unable to do anything, Luo Yiyi felt an unprecedented humiliation and resentment.
Why can Deng Jixuan take the lead? At the beginning, Wang Zhiying took away her favor so strongly, and she endured it; Do you have to endure Deng Zhenxuan's bravado now? Why? Why! She's had endured enough! Do you think that if she is weak, you can trample her hard? Don't force her, the rabbit is in a hurry and bites!
This little episode quickly reached the queen's ears, but the queen did not reprimand her for the emperor's favor of Deng Zhenxuan, but only made a simple appeasement to Luo Yiyi. Luo Yiyi was unwilling, so he ran to the emperor to complain. thought that he could get pity, but unexpectedly provoked the emperor's impatience. Instead of upholding justice for Luo Yiyi, Duan Yulin blamed her for being ignorant, blaming her for not being serious with Deng Jixuan in trivial matters.
Luo Yiyi is really heartbroken! For the sake of this Deng Zhenxuan, are the emperor and the queen indistinguishable? Why does she deserve to be wronged? Luo Yiyi cried all the way from the emperor's courtyard to his courtyard, and as soon as he entered the door, he happened to meet Wang Zhiying who was eating in the courtyard.
"Yo, what's the matter, noble man? Didn't you go to see the emperor, why did you cry so sadly? Wang Zhiying asked knowingly, obviously with the mentality of watching jokes.
"Sakura, you don't have to laugh at me. How much better can you be yourself? Since the emperor accepted Rui Concubine, you, the former favorite concubine, are not going to give way to others! You can ask yourself, both are concubines, but the two of you get the same treatment? In Luo Yiyi's opinion, Wang Zhiying is simply laughing at fifty steps and a hundred steps!
"I give way to people? Oh, that's funny! Just by Deng Zhenxuan? Wang Zhiying sneered disdainfully: "The emperor's favor of her is just a novelty." At the moment, I don't want to fight with her because I don't want to ruin the emperor's mood, do you really think I can't fight her? ”
"Whether the emperor is fresh or not, you and I know it! At the beginning, the emperor was also 'fresh for a while' to me, but you did not hesitate to take away my favor; Originally from the cherry concubine who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, she is just a paper tiger who picks soft persimmons! If you have the ability, you will target Deng Zhenxuan! Luo Yiyi said excitedly.
"Okay. Since you hate Rui Concubine, I just don't like her either, why don't we join forces? Wang Zhiying stretched out her right hand to Luo Yiyi.
Luo Yiyi looked at Wang Zhiying's "alliance" hand, and either didn't understand that she agreed or acted for the tiger. But in order to redeem her grace and bring down Deng Zhenxuan, she had to temporarily "release her suspicions" with Wang Zhiying. So, Luo Yiyi trembled and put her hand on Shibasakura's hand.
Then the two hid in the dormitory and plotted a plan to bring down Deng Zhenxuan. Bang Xin, who was pulled away by Acacia, still felt strange, how did the little master, who has always been incompatible with Sakura Concubine, become "intimate" with her today? Which of them changed sex? The sun really came out in the west......
"Is that the one you said work?" Luo Yiyi was nervous and worried.
"Hmph, don't worry, I can't do anything wrong." Wang Zhiying snorted disdainfully.
"But, but...... Do you have to do it? Luo Yiyi just wanted Deng Zhenxuan to fall out of favor, but he never wanted to harm her life. Therefore, when Wang Zhiying proposed to poison Deng Zhenxuan, she was a little reluctant.
"Otherwise, do you have a better way to get rid of her faster? At this point, you don't want to regret it, do you? Shibazakura despised Royi's hesitation.
"But I'm afraid ......" Luo Yiyi was afraid that the emperor would investigate it afterwards, and if he found her, he would die.
"What are you afraid of! It's because you're always looking ahead and being cowardly, so everyone dares to ride on your head! If you continue like this, you will wait to be trampled to death by Deng Zhenxuan! Don't blame me for not reminding you! Wang Zhiying was a little angry, this Luo Yiyi is really unsuccessful.
"That'...... I only invited Concubine Rui to dine alone, and she had an accident, so the murderer is not known to be me? How can I get away with it? "The harem is originally a place where "either you die or I die", and everyone has the instinct to survive. So in order to survive in the harem, Luo Yiyi was forced to choose to sacrifice Deng Zhenxuan.
"You're so stupid! Who said she's the only one to be hired for? You invite her alone, with her temperament, do you think she will go to the appointment obediently? Wang Zhiying glanced at Luo Yiyi and told her the detailed plan: "You not only want to invite Deng Zhenxuan, but also invite several noble sisters and even Zhaoyi Niangniang." At that time, poison one dish and put the antidote in the other......"
"But this does not guarantee that Rui Concubine will only eat poisoned dishes, and not dishes with antidotes; Moreover, there is no guarantee that innocent people will not be harmed. Luo Yiyi was anxious to find a hole in Shibakura's method.
Zhiying, who was interrupted from speaking, was very displeased, glared at Yiyi, and did not answer her but continued to herself: "Do you know what Deng Zhenxuan hates eating the most? Donkey meat! What she couldn't stand the most was the fishy smell of donkey meat. All you need to do is prepare two dishes made of donkey meat at the feast and make sure she doesn't touch them. When the time comes, we'll add an antidote to this donkey meat, so that we can make sure that she can't eat the antidote. ”
"What if the poisoned dish happens to be not to her liking? We can't poison every dish, the risk of exposure is too great! Besides, if there are other concubines who don't like to eat donkey meat, it will be troublesome if they can't eat the antidote and poison it! Luo Yiyi still felt that this plan was inappropriate.
"I didn't notice such an obvious flaw? You also look down on my wisdom too much. Since you are the guest to be the host, the cloth vegetable palace maid in the banquet is naturally arranged by your palace. All you have to do is tell her to give a piece of donkey meat to every concubine except Deng Jixuan. Even if they don't eat it, the soup from the donkey meat will be stained with other dishes on the plate, which is equivalent to eating the antidote. As for Deng Zhenxuan's taste...... We can put poison in the soup, Deng Zhenxuan may not eat a certain dish, but the soup can't be drunk, right? Wang Zhiying smiled smugly at Luo Yiyi, showing off her intelligence.
"It works! However, there is another point...... "Luo Yiyi was frightened by Shibazakura's eyes of "you have a lot to do", and finally had the courage to say the question: "Rui Concubine is poisonous, the imperial doctor will definitely check the diet, what should I do if I find out that there is a cat in the soup when the time comes?" ”
"Stupid! Then you can drink the soup as hard as you can, and see what else they can find out! Wang Zhiying deliberately concealed the time when the effect of the drug occurred, and wanted to play Luo Yiyi by the way. Thinking about Shibazakura's words carefully, it was not unreasonable, and she decided in her heart that the guests would drink all the soup on the day of the banquet.
In the end, Shibazakura decided with a little disdain: "Seeing that you are not enough to succeed and more than to lose, you must not dare to poison yourself; Your girl is an upright fool, I'm afraid it won't work. In this way, I'll take the medicine, anyway, getting rid of Deng Zhenxuan is our common goal. But you have to remember, this time you owe me a big favor, and I will have to pay it back one day! ”
Luo Yiyi was helpless, so she could only nod "gratefully".
