Concubine Jing already had a new place to live, and the previous palace naturally could no longer live, so the emperor arranged for her to live in Changle Palace. Changle Palace has not been inhabited for a long time, but every once in a while there are palace people to clean it, so clean it up, you can still live. Concubine Jing has no objection to this, after all, she has lived in the dungeon for thirty years, and she has lost all her exquisiteness, so she still cares about the new and old palaces?

Because Zhiying and Concubine An have been caught by the queen to do hard labor these days, they don't have time to congratulate Concubine Jing on her housewarming, of course, she doesn't need it. When we met again, it was the day before the chrysanthemum feast.

After these days of cultivation, Concubine Jing's complexion is very good, her jewelry and gorgeous clothes make her extravagant, this dignified and calm is on par with the queen, and when she was young, Concubine Jing's appearance was better than the queen, so even now Concubine Jing is slightly better, to put it disrespectfully, Concubine Jing is more like a queen than the queen.

Concubine Jing saw Zhiying and bowed her head slightly, "You have been busy for the past few days, but the queen deliberately made it difficult?"

Zhiying smiled bitterly: "It's not difficult to talk about, but there are indeed a lot of things." ”

Concubine Jing nodded, "In this way, Concubine An's girl is also like this." ”

"She's a concubine, and she has a lot more to worry about than I do. Speaking of this, Zhiying couldn't help but sigh, it is really a person who cannot be looked at, and a heartless person like Concubine An should not be taken lightly when he is serious. She originally thought that it was the next step for the queen to ask the two of them to assist in organizing a chrysanthemum banquet, but who would have thought that Concubine An was not very suitable at the beginning, but she actually did a good job later, unlike herself, she tried her best and only did so-so, it seems that the goddaughter of the family does have a set.

Zhiying retracted her thoughts and said to Concubine Jing: "Today's autumn is cool, Niangniang is here to visit the garden, it just so happens that I have nothing to do today, so it is better to accompany Niangniang for a while." Although Concubine Jing was able to live in the new palace in a grand manner, due to her embarrassing identity, everyone didn't know how to call her, so she could only use the word "Niangniang" instead.

Concubine Jing didn't care about these vulgar rites, she didn't really want to be a concubine for the emperor, staying in the harem was just an expedient measure, and when the big event happened in the future, there was a place for her to be at ease.

Zhiying didn't know what Concubine Jing thought, but when she had been isolated from the world for so many years, she didn't adapt to it for a while, so she simply didn't say much. The two walked across the long bridge, looked at the fish in the lake and sighed, "I really envy them for being able to play freely." "

"Why did the county lord say this, no matter how happy this fish is, they can only be trapped in a small lake, how can they know the vastness of the sea?" Jing Concubine said disdainfully.

Zhiying nodded and echoed: "Niangniang is right, the fish in the lake really don't know the vastness of the sea, so what about people?

"What do you mean?"

"I got a letter by chance a few days ago, and the person who wrote the letter happened to have the same surname as Niangniang. ”

"What letter? The Xia family has declined, how can I still have the ability to send the letter to the palace, the county lord is not deceiving me. ”

"How could I deceive Niangniang, the letter is true, but it was not written by the current Xia family, but more than a hundred years ago. As she spoke, she took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing didn't expect that she really had a letter, and she was both surprised and puzzled. She took the letter and read it carefully, her expression unpredictable.

Zhiying didn't speak, just looked at her until she put down the paper in her hand and said, "Now the mother believes me." ”

"Where did you get this letter?" Concubine Jing's face was solemn, "Do you know who the concubine of the founding emperor is?"

"Isn't it the predecessor of your Xia family?

"It's true that she is the concubine of the founding emperor, but she is also a witch in the southwest frontier, otherwise why do you think the founding emperor let her live, and promised to protect the Xia family. ”

Zhiying didn't expect that a seemingly useless old letter could lead to so many things.

Concubine Jing looked at her, "Why do you think I can move to Changle Palace? It would be ridiculous to say that I was thinking of old love." In fact, I drugged the emperor, and he had no choice but to follow me. ”

"What? you said you..."Zhiying looked at her in horror, "Aren't you crazy, even Your Majesty dares to harm you!"

"What is this, I didn't call him dead without a corpse is already extraordinarily merciful! My Xia family was originally a family of witch doctors in the southwest, and because of the merit of the dragon, so he moved here, and he couldn't enjoy the glory of these generations, but the hateful emperor succeeded to the throne, and he wanted to destroy the Xia family, which is unbearable!"

"Is it your Xia family's high master?" Zhi Ying guessed.

Concubine Jing sneered, "If that's the case, at least he doesn't dare to act rashly." But in fact, except for some family heirlooms, the Xia family has long been no different from ordinary families, but this is enough to make the emperor sleep. In the past, he was still a prince, and he was about to cross the crown prince to inherit the throne, and seeing that I was young and beautiful, and won the emperor's heart, he hit me with the idea. At that time, he was young, how could there be so many twists and turns in his heart, and he fell in love with him when he came and went, and offered to help him deal with the prince, which was in his arms. I used a little medicine powder to make the prince seriously ill, and the first emperor was old, and he was worried that the prince would go before him, so he abolished the prince and set up another one. In this way, the emperor won the position of prince with almost no effort. ”

"What about the former prince?

"Do you think I'm a demon who kills people without blinking? The waste prince was depressed later, and he couldn't think of throwing himself into the lake, but after being rescued, he saw through the red dust and traveled all over the world. ”

Zhiying breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that Concubine Jing would not do anything, after all, it was a life, it was miserable enough to be taken away from the throne, if she died again, it would be really...

"Now that I think about it, the emperor must have been wary of me at that time. In his opinion, if I can deal with the prince with medicine, I can also deal with him. Concubine Jing smiled: "Men and women are always different, when he secretly calculates me, I am digging out my heart and lungs for him, alas, how naïve!"

I don't know what to say for a while. In all fairness, Concubine Jing and even the entire Xia family were the victims, and it was the emperor's ill-intentioned intentions that were wrong first. However, to this day, it is no longer clear which is right and which is wrong, depending on the situation, Concubine Jing will never give up, she used medicine to control the emperor, and how things developed next became unknown. She originally wanted to use the letter as an introduction to let Concubine Jing play a role in fueling the flames, what she wanted was cooperation between the two parties, not unilateral obedience, who would have thought that Concubine Jing would be so bold as this, it was really unexpected to her. She had to admit that in terms of playing tricks, the women in the palace were born good hands, and she really didn't see enough of it.

Now, Zhiying has a new hidden worry, that is, how can Jing Concubine protect herself in the future turmoil in order to achieve her goals. She thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said, "No matter what you want to do in the future, we will not stand in your way, but you will not let us fall into a difficult situation, and help me find a group of fellow disciples." "The lesser of two evils, holding a profit is not holding a festival, since both sides have spoken out, then there is nothing to hide, she can make appropriate concessions for the people on her side, as for whether Concubine Jing's plan succeeds or not, it has nothing to do with her.

Concubine Jing knew that she was unwilling to wade into this troubled water, and she was not reluctant, "Since you don't want to help me, forget it, I agree to your conditions, then you can stand by and watch, as long as you don't help the emperor, I can accept it." ”

"Don't worry, we're all people who do what we say. Zhi Ying said solemnly.

Back at the residence, Zhiying was a little uneasy, she had a premonition that something big would happen soon. Thinking of her conversation with Concubine Jing for a while, she suddenly wondered if she was seeking skin with the tiger, after all, Concubine Jing's actions were no different from rebellion, although she didn't want to go along with it, but she didn't stop it, is this really right?

Ling Jun looked at her sad appearance and said with concern: "What's the matter, something on your mind?"

Zhiying suddenly felt funny, since she came to the palace, Ling Jun asked her the most this sentence. She reached out and rubbed her face, could she really look worried?

Ling Jun held her hands and said softly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, are you going to see Concubine Jing?" He knew that she didn't have to go to Yukun Palace today, and thought that she would sleep in the house, but Qiu Lu said that she had gone out. It is unlikely that she will go to Concubine An, because they are together every day these days, and no matter how much they say, they should be finished, and she is not familiar with other people, thinking about it, only Concubine Jing is worthy of her to see.

Zhiying nodded, she hesitated for a moment, and finally told Ling Jun the truth. "Did you think I did something wrong?" said Zhiying, frowning. Scheming people's hearts has never been what she is good at, and Concubine Jing is different from ordinary harem concubines, in the end, she was born in the southwest witch clan, she dares to love and hate, and she does things recklessly, not to mention that the Xia family has fallen because of the emperor, how can Concubine Jing not hate? I am afraid that she will be blinded by hatred and cause a catastrophe.

Ling Jun pondered for a moment after listening, "I know everything you said, I have checked the customs and customs of the southwest in the Jixian Palace, and there is a record about the Xia family in the southwest, which is not very detailed, but I am afraid that the person who wrote the book is not very clear." ”

That's right, it seems that what Concubine Jing said is the truth, but in this way, the emperor's situation is even more dangerous. Since ancient times, witch doctors have not been separated, and in the southwest, witch doctors are both wizards and doctors, with a high status, and ordinary people worship them as gods. In the generation of Jing Concubine, witchcraft has basically been cut off, but the medicine prescription is still there. Those medicines are not ordinary medicines, they are refined with witchcraft, although without witchcraft, the medicinal power is much worse, but it is enough to deal with ordinary people.

"Don't think too much, what we advocate is to be quiet and do nothing, not to participate in the struggle for secular power, and the rest, karma and reincarnation, retribution is unpleasant, everything is arranged in the dark, and that is not something we can control. Ling Jun said.
