Chapter 208: Confrontation

"Father-in-law Zhou, what do you mean is that the emperor sent the forbidden army to supervise it, but it is actually to protect us, and it also protects us by the way, so the emperor still has a mother in his heart."

"Exactly, so we don't have to worry, we just need to serve the mother."

As if to confirm his words, a person appeared in front of them: "The emperor has decreed that Concubine Li will be grounded from today, and no one in the Guanju Palace will be allowed to enter or leave." The food and clothing of the concubine will remain unchanged, and it will be delivered by the palace people of the four divisions within the specified hour. On the premise of not exceeding the rules, Niangniang can say anything to my brothers who guard the door. ”

Zhou Neiguan raised his eyes and saw that this was not General Zhu, he was a big celebrity beside the emperor, and he called the emperor a brother, so he hurriedly bowed down and said, "There is General Lao." ”

Xiaolong said again: "Even if you are grounded, Niangniang is still Niangniang, do you understand?" ”

"Understood, understood! Thank you, General, for the point! ”

After General Zhu left, the gate of Guan Ju Palace was closed again.

Zhou Neiguan looked at the other palace people: "See, even if the concubine Niangniang falls out of favor, it will be temporary, with the emperor's favor for our Niangniang, the ban may be lifted at any time." Your mind is also at ease, don't think about some things that you don't have, serving a good lady is the top priority! ”

The thrush asked quietly, "Grandpa Zhou, why are you so sure?" ”

Without waiting for the official to speak, Huang Ying explained: "You want to, not to mention that Niangniang came to Guan Ju Palace, being favored is the only one." Let's just say grounded, have you ever seen such a big battle? Think about the way the emperor was when he left, have you seen the emperor so angry for so many years? ”

"Nope." The thrush shook his head honestly.

"So, the more angry the emperor is, the more he cares about our mother. Only Niangniang can make the emperor, who has always been calm and light-hearted, appear happy and angry. With the emperor's thoughts on Niangniang, it is only a matter of time before Niangniang regains favor. Besides, the mother treats us a lot on weekdays. One by one, you can give me some peace. ”

"Sister Huang Ying, I didn't mean that." Thrush said aggrievedly, "Niangniang treats us well on weekdays, better than other masters I have served." I also hope that Niangniang can reconcile with the emperor as soon as possible, so that she will not be bullied by other Niangniang. ”

"It's best if you think like that. You all listened, don't care what other people think, we just need to serve the mother. ”

The palace people in this Guan Ju Palace analyzed the situation very clearly, but unfortunately the people outside were not so clear, so some people began to move. Of course, this also can't blame them, firstly, they did not see the emperor and Concubine Li get along on weekdays, and secondly, they did not receive a reminder from General Zhu, they only saw Concubine Li fall out of favor, the emperor was furious, grounded her, and sent a forbidden army to imprison her.

Li Neiguan shook his head, he had already sent the eighth mother. Since the news of Concubine Li's grounding came out, these ladies have come to the imperial study one after another to send pastries, sweet soups, and supplements to the emperor. Coincidentally, the rivals Zhang Jieyu and Rong Jieyu also ran into each other, allowing him to watch a good show for free and then broke up unhappily.

Seeing that someone was coming in the distance, when the visitor got closer, he saw clearly, it was the lady concubine. The lady concubine, who doesn't seem to fight or grab on weekdays, also came unprecedentedly this time.

"Lady Niangniang!" Li Neiguan stubbornly greeted him.

"Gonggong Li, I heard that the emperor has a strong liver fire recently, and he often gets angry, so I stewed white fungus pear soup to quench the fire for the emperor."

"Niangniang has a heart, but the emperor is busy with government affairs today......"

"Father-in-law doesn't have to be embarrassed, the palace doesn't go in to disturb the emperor, and ask the father-in-law to transfer it on his behalf, and when the emperor is tired, he can take a sip." As he spoke, he took off the jade bracelet in his hand and stuffed it into the sleeve of Li Neiguan.

"Niangniang, please rest assured, the slave will definitely live up to the trust of the mother!"

"Then the palace will thank my father-in-law first."

"Niangniang is serious, this is what a slave should be."

Take people's money and eliminate disasters for others. It's not that Li Neiguan is greedy for money, it's just that some rewards are not accepted or they don't know how to lift, but they offend people. Without violating the principle, collecting some property reasonably is also to make the giver feel at ease, even if Qin Yixuan knows about it, he won't say anything. When the water is clear, there are no fish, and sometimes some people have to do it.

"Your Majesty......" Li Neiguan walked into the main hall of the imperial study with a food box, "Do you need to take a break?" ”

Qin Yixuan didn't raise his head and said, "Who sent something?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it's the white fungus pear soup sent by the lady concubine."

"Lady Concubine, why did she come to join in the fun? Is there a ...... then" Qin Yixuan was stunned for a moment, then held the red pen again, "You drink it." ”

Li Neiguan knew that the emperor remembered the one in the Guan Ju Palace again, and said cautiously: "The slave doesn't dare." "Let's go

"Why don't I tell you to drink? Besides, if you accept the benefits of the concubine, you have to do things after all. Hurry up and drink it, and send the food box to Concubine Shu to pay for it. ”

"Your Majesty...... Thank the emperor for the reward. Li Neiguan thought for a while, and did not hesitate any longer, if the emperor does not blame, then don't be ignorant, hurry up and finish drinking and go out.

After the door was closed, Qin Yixuan put down the cinnabar pen again, stood up and paced back and forth. He grounded her, but he didn't lose her usefulness, and he specially instructed Xiaolong to remind her: everything is the same, and as long as there is anything needed, as long as it does not exceed the rules, the forbidden army can do it for her.

Why didn't she think of asking Xiaolong to ask the imperial dining room to make some snacks and send them over? As long as she shows weakness, he will forgive her. No matter how ruthless he spoke, no matter how much he minded her past, all he cared about was her heart.

He was angry that he had paid so much, but she was still so heartless, and he couldn't let go of his anger. As long as she makes any moves to tell him that she has him in her heart, he will be soft-hearted.

He knew that when he met her, he had already lost completely, he was just maintaining a little bit of his self-esteem, and he hoped that after he took ninety-nine steps, the last step would be taken by her, and he would hold her hand and never let go.

He couldn't help but think of that day, when she came to bring him food for the first time, and as she ate, he ate it with her.

"Xueqing......" He closed his eyes, thinking back to the picture of that day, and the corners of his mouth raised an arc.

When I opened my eyes, I was left with a sigh. Three days have passed, and he has controlled himself not to see her, God knows how much he wants to run to Guan Ju Palace to hold her tightly in his arms, and tell her that in the future, she can only be him Qin Yixuan alone.

Lei Yuhua drank tea quietly, listening to the complaints of the concubines.

Please be safe is fake, come to explore the truth is true, everyone wants to know what it means that the emperor is staying alone in the imperial study during the days when Concubine Li is grounded. There are also some people who see that Concubine Li is losing power and want to fall into the well.

Lei Yuhua just couldn't hear what they meant, and did what he wanted, and didn't answer them at all.

They're stupid, she's not stupid. The last time I was impulsive, I have lost all the love for 20 years. If she acts rashly again, I am afraid that she will affect the Lei family and even the prince.

Although some of his actions are very hidden, she also has her own eyeliner. From what she knew about him, she had roughly guessed what he wanted to do, and that would not be a good ending. If he really provokes him, it is not impossible for him to have a son with her and become the crown prince.

They don't know the grievances and hatreds between the two of them. For her, he can pardon even the thief, he can even do without the country, what else can't be done.

Her little trick this time is also a temptation, if it can really make the two of them out of their hearts, it will naturally be a good thing. But looking at his appearance, even if she is ruthless, he still can't let go, so why bother to be boring.

Let him go, she is too lazy to care anymore, as long as Yuchen can succeed to the throne, she can sit firmly in the position of the queen mother, and she can stabilize the position of the Lei family, and she doesn't ask for anything else.

Xue Qing wrapped herself in the silk quilt, but she didn't actually fall asleep, her eyes were open, and her eyes were staring at somewhere.

The weather at the beginning of August was still very hot, but the silk quilt was very thin, cold, and not sticky to the body, very comfortable. Neither let yourself get cold nor let yourself get warm.

"You have the ability, don't peek!" She stood up and yelled into the shadows.

It's the third day, and every night there is a pair of eyes staring at me. There are only a few people in the world who can appear in the dark without knowing it. She could be aware of it, and stood still in the dark for two days in a row, until she fell asleep, and then she was alone.

No one answered her words, and no one came out of the shadows, but she heard them, and the other's breathing became rapid.

Since you want to play, let's play, Xue Qing no longer paid attention to him, lay down and wrapped herself tightly, turned over to the inside of the bed, and did not move. After a cup of tea, there was an even sound of breathing coming from the bed. After another cup of tea, a figure came out of the corner.

He stepped forward gently, sat down on the edge of the bed, and watched her face by the light of the outside lamp that came in through the window. He reached out to touch her cheek.

The person on the bed suddenly turned over, opened his eyes and stared at him: "You are really capable!" ”

"I don't have the skills." Qin Yixuan smiled bitterly, "Even if you are so conscienceless and always trample on my mind, I still can't let you go." ”

"I didn't trample!" Xue Qing said aggrievedly, "I understand how good you are to me, I ask myself that I am also keeping to myself in the palace during this time, and I am dedicated to you." ”

Qin Yixuan looked at her, thinking of the past, she was indeed different from before, before the two quarreled that day, her usual attitude was much softer than before, and she would also think about him, and would take the initiative to show goodwill, but ......

"Then why did you go to the cold palace, why did you force Yulin to death, do you really treat me, or do you want to use me to take revenge and help you deal with the Lei family?"
