Chapter 465: Paving the Way
Concubine Cao looked at the little eunuch in disbelief.
For a superior person, a pampered and invincible superior person, such an expression should not appear on her face.
"What did you say?" It is a question, a reprimand, and a certainty.
"Niangniang, Your Royal Highness asked the servant to pass on the word, and you have caused him a lot of trouble."
"Troubled? Hahaha, troubled? As if she heard something funny, Cao Guifei laughed, laughing so much that the corners of her eyes watered.
Slipping down the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, overflowing the corners of the mouth, bitter salty.
"Bengong gave birth to him, raised him, planned everything for him, and until now, Bengong has caused him trouble? Without the plan of this palace, he is just a prince who does nothing, without the plan of this palace, how can he rise to prominence, without the plan of this palace, he is useless now! Haunt? Will this palace be his trouble? ”
In the face of Cao Guifei's sharp questioning, the little eunuch buried his head and said without humility or arrogance: "Niangniang, those are the past, Your Highness can have today's glory, Niangniang is really worried about labor, and has planned a lot for His Highness, His Royal Highness can get the favor of the saint, and it is also because Niangniang is favored in front of the saint." Even His Royal Highness can have his current achievements, and he can't do without his mother's precautions. Isn't what Niangniang is doing in the hope that His Royal Highness can sit on the throne of the prince and inherit the throne in the future? Now Niangniang's existence has become a stumbling block for His Highness, this is not what Niangniang wants to see, whether it is for Niangniang or His Royal Highness, Niangniang knows what to do. ”
Cao Guifei looked at the little eunuch coldly, "So His Royal Highness means that the palace wants to open up a new road for him?" ”
"Niangniang, this ruined trick can not only save Niangniang's reputation, but also help His Highness succeed, why not? His Royal Highness will inherit orthodoxy in the future, and Niang Niangquan will know, shouldn't she also be gratified? ”
"This palace hopes that he will inherit the unification, this palace has planned for him for all these years, it can be said that when this palace has not given birth to him, this palace began to design, this palace is dedicated to him, and now, it has become a problem and stumbling block for him?"
This is what Cao Guifei cares about the most!
Although the women of the harem are more expensive than their sons, but without her, the three princes are nothing!
What is she trying to do in front of the emperor for favor?
It's not all for the son!
The words of the third prince hurt her heart too much!
"Niangniang," the little eunuch said in a routine tone, "The situation is changing, and extraordinary times naturally use extraordinary means." The slave said something disrespectful, the only difference between Niangniang and being relegated to the cold palace is that Niangniang is still in your own dormitory. Mother, do you think you have a chance to regain your favor? Not to mention that Niangniang's current appearance is no longer there, even according to the emperor's suspicion of Niangniang, Niangniang will not regain favor. Instead of letting His Royal Highness lose power with Niangniang, it is better for Niangniang to break the kettle and make good use of the emperor's past affection for Niangniang to fight for His Highness! Mother, such a good opportunity, why not take advantage of it? There is no need for the slave to remind, Niangniang should also know that this is Niangniang's last chance, otherwise, in the end, not only Niangniang will live in the cold palace for a long time, but His Royal Highness, but also completely miss the prince, this is not what Niangniang wants to see, right? Niangniang often said that those who achieve great things will always have trade-offs and sacrifices, and this time, it is Niangniang's turn. Niangniang, you are now consuming your mission, and in the end it will only drag down Your Highness, and when the time comes, you and Your Highness will not have a good time. If Your Royal Highness becomes the queen mother, you will be the queen mother in the future, and being admired by future generations with this name is better than your current reputation in the palace, right? Who knows when these words will spread outside, and when the time comes, even if the mother wants to do something, it will be useless. ”
Cao Guifei was unwilling, but reason told her that the little eunuch was right.
The emperor is there, it is difficult for her, no, she will never return to the former scenery!
The emperor is now keen on the pursuit of immortality, and if she can get the recipe for immortality, she will naturally be able to get the recipe for immortality.
At least, that's what the emperor thinks.
The reason why the emperor didn't move her now was because he was waiting for her to dedicate the recipe to him.
The people in the palace are respectful to her, and there are no rumors about her outside, firstly, because the emperor has suppressed her by means, and secondly, her reputation is not good, and those recipes have become "demonic words" and "bewitching" the emperor's demonic arts!
Therefore, the emperor did it for himself.
Now, indeed, is a good time.
If she is gone, the emperor will reuse a few points of the Third Highness out of guilt for her.
So, no matter how you look at it, it's the best way!
Cao Guifei sat in front of the window, looking at the courtyard after the rain.
Her birth was not noble, so even if it was only in the general circle, it seemed out of place.
She doesn't have any exotic jewelry, she doesn't have the clothes that are fashionable for the season, and she is always forgotten when she gathers.
Therefore, when the princes and princesses chose to read with her, she used a little cleverness to be selected, and she became the eldest princess's companion as she wished!
Then, under her intentional seduction, she was with the emperor who was still a prince at the time.
She was not "accustomed" to that luxury, so even in the palace, her courtyard was as simple as that of ordinary people.
First, she likes and is used to this style, and second, when she met the emperor, it was when the emperor was down, and the life of the two of them was really not as good as the ordinary nobles.
Of course, the most important thing is to show the emperor's favor for her.
"Twenty years of husband and wife love can't compare to an immortal prescription." Cao Guifei laughed self-deprecatingly.
She understands the emperor.
As long as the emperor determines that she has that formula, whether she has it or not, she has to have it.
Submit a fake to go up?
Hehe.
The emperor is not a fool, the fake recipe is useless, and her crime will be even greater when the time comes.
Gently stroke your cheeks.
Cao Guifei looked at the face in the bronze mirror carefully, "It looks like you're older than the Queen Mother, right?" ”
The palace maid buried her head in fear and did not dare to answer.
Cao Guifei smiled to herself, "Yes, this look, even if the emperor favors the palace, he will scare away." ”
"!" The palace maid looked up in fear.
Cao Guifei's fingertips roamed her cheeks, and the dry skin and the tactile sensation full of furrows were all consuming her last patience.
"Stand down."
"!" The palace maid was startled.
Cao Guifei frowned and waved her sleeves irritably.
In the end, he is a noble person who has been in the position for many years, and his momentum is there, and he only needs one action to make the people around him tremble.
The palace maid's gaze glanced at the black decoction on the table.
"You have followed this palace for twenty years, you should have left the palace, it was you who begged this palace to continue to keep you, this palace knows that you are loyal, but now this palace can't protect you, don't worry, this palace has been ordered to go down, after this palace leaves, you will be released."
"!" The palace maid knelt down with a "poof".
Cao Guifei said to herself: "You are a person from this palace, staying in the palace will only become the object of their venting, you have been following this palace for so long, and you are loyal to this palace, this palace can't chill your heart, right?" ”
"Mother's ......"
"Stand down." Cao Guifei waved her sleeves again.
The palace maid took two steps back, but she was standing five steps away from Concubine Cao, and she never really retreated.
Changing into a court dress that symbolizes rank, combing a solemn bun, and painting solemn makeup, Cao Guifei slowly walked to the table.
"!"
The eunuchs and palace maids of the "Plum Garden" knelt on the ground.
He is not only sad for the fate of his master, but also worried about his own future.
They are all people from the "Plum Garden", and the master of the "Plum Garden" is gone, where should they go?
Who will take them in with other masters?
The Imperial Study.
"Gone?" The old emperor looked at the eunuch kneeling on the ground with no sadness or joy, and his tone was not surprised at all.
"Back to the emperor, Concubine Cao is gone." The little eunuch's tone was hoarse, as if he had cried.
"Why not?"
"Back to the emperor, yes...... Drink medicine. ”
The old emperor sneered.
It's really a good time!
"Your Majesty?" Wei Ping inquired about the old emperor's meaning, his eyes full of caution.
"Let's prepare for the aftermath according to the rules." In a faint sentence, it is all cold.
After the little eunuch of "Plum Garden" retreated, the old emperor raised his eyes and said casually: "Wei Ping, you say, shouldn't I be sad and care more about the third child by the way?" ”
"Your Majesty, you are the king, only you decide the fate of others, and no one can influence your decisions."
"I thought that she knew what to do in the love between husband and wife for many years, but she didn't expect that she would force me."
"Your Majesty, Concubine Cao Guifei just wanted to go wrong, and wanted to fight for the Third Highness."
"Fight more?" The old emperor sneered, "When she was young, she wanted to be a mother in the world, but I couldn't give it to her, but I put the entire harem in her hands." But what did she do? ”
Wei Ping didn't dare to answer.
The old emperor continued faintly: "She has been with me for the longest time, and she has suffered a lot with me, I want to spoil her and give her rights, but what did she do? It's just a recipe, if she says no, will I still believe her? Did you give me this trick to force me? ”
"The emperor is angry," Wei Ping hurriedly comforted the emperor, "Niangniang is also for the third highness." ”
"The third?" The old emperor sneered meaninglessly.
Wei Ping's eyes flashed slightly, "Your Majesty, don't say anything else, the qualifications and abilities of the three princes alone are the most outstanding among the princes, and the affairs assigned by the emperor, which of the three highnesses is not very good?" Even in the military department, the reputation of the Third Highness is also excellent. Over the years, the prestige of the Third Highness among the people has increased dramatically, if it weren't for the ruthlessness of fighting with the Second Prince some time ago, the Third Highness would not be what it is now. ”
Glancing at the old emperor cautiously, Wei Ping's eyes rolled, "Niangniang is also anxious, His Royal Highness is the most similar to the emperor, and temporary forbearance can temper his mind." ”
"Oh?" The old emperor snorted heavily.
Wei Ping was busy burying his head in fear.
