Xia Rui raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Let's hear it. ”

Under the backdrop of the brilliant lights in the night hall, Yun Xiao looked particularly charming, she fanned her long eyelashes slightly, and said:

"Why didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince let that slave directly testify against the queen, but let her testify against the Jade Concubine? No matter how cunning Concubine Yu is, her ability is not as big as that of the queen! ”

In fact, this is the most critical part of today's bureau.

Xia Rui put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Yun Xiao with deep meaning, and then said slowly:

"Today, the queen's performance in the main hall, you have also seen, the queen is an extremely good at disguise, and her reaction speed is very fast, since we have already shot, then, we have to hit with one blow. Judging from the current situation, the queen has no Prince Min, and there are no scruples, we will point the finger at the queen and confront her head-on, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not fight with us in order to keep her position, so that our chances of winning are much less. But Concubine Yu is different, Concubine Jade also has King De, she has to think about King De's future, so it is inevitable to act timidly. ”

When Yun Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but nod again and again: "I see!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was thoughtful. ”

"And one more thing, it's also important!"

Yun Xiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "What is it?" ”

"If we let Xue Liu testify against the queen today, even if we succeed, after thinking about it, Concubine Yu and King De will know that it was Gu who secretly bought Xue Liu, which led to Xue Liu's defection. In this way, they will only become more bitter against the enemy, which is not conducive to the future actions of Lone. ”

Xia Rui continued,

"And Gu let Xue Liu testify against the Jade Concubine, because Gu had already decided that the queen would dump the Jade Concubine in order to protect herself, and the Jade Concubine would give up the confrontation with Gu in order to protect King De, today in the main hall, the queen did not even ask for a word of mercy for the Jade Concubine in order to clear up her suspicions, it was really ruthless, but this is okay, their alliance has been greatly impacted, and next, they will definitely be suspicious of each other. In this game, although Lone is not completely sure of pulling the queen down, he can cut off the queen's wings, and it is not in vain! ”

After listening to this, Yun Xiao praised sincerely: "What a trick to divide the world, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really smart!" ”

When Xia Rui heard this, he smiled brightly.

Speaking of which, he should thank King Xuan well. If it weren't for that day, King Xuan said that he hoped that the queen would fight with King De, he might not have thought of this trick.

Oh, the court, in this splendid palace, everyone is doing their best to keep their position and climb up.

So what is the point of calculation?

Yun Xiao looked at Xia Rui's bright smile, thinking about the question that had been hovering in his heart, and said tentatively:

"The words that Xue Liu said in the main hall today were all taught to her by His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know...... How much of what she said was true? ”

When Xia Rui heard this, his eyebrows moved, he looked at Yun Xiao with interest, and asked rhetorically, "Which sentence are you referring to?" ”

Yun Xiao saw that he didn't mind, so he continued: "What does the concubine mean...... Your past feud with the Queen. ”

Yun Xiao stared at Xia Rui motionlessly, only to see that his expression suddenly fell lonely, he lowered his head slightly and looked at his hands, and said lightly:

Actually, Lone doesn't know...... Is the matter of the mother concubine done by the queen...... Lone is not even sure whether the mother died of natural illness or was assassinated! Lonely only knows that when the mother concubine was still alive, the person who embarrassed her the most was the queen, and in the year when the mother was sick and bedridden, the queen showed her so-called virtuous generosity in front of her father, and on the other hand, she came to the mother's bedroom every day, insinuating and saying unpleasant things, which made the mother feel sad. The mother concubine's mother, the Hua family, is not as powerful as the Gao family, and the mother concubine has repeatedly endured and orphaned for the sake of the Hua family and the orphan...... Solitary...... Lone didn't take good care of his mother......"

Seeing this, Yun Xiao suddenly felt very distressed about Xia Rui.

This is the first time that Yun Xiao feels that people who are in the highest position also need people's hearts.

In the past, she lived in the mountains with her master, although she was well-read, she would only sigh at how difficult the people's livelihood was, if the monarch could lightly pay off the meager endowment and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, then it would be the merit of the superiors, and everyone in the world would be happy, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Just as Yun Xiao was about to persuade him, there was a sudden knock on the door.

When Xia Rui heard this, he immediately put away these thoughts and raised his voice outside: "Come in and talk back!" ”

Soon a maid walked in.

Yun Xiao raised his eyes and looked, it turned out to be Sicui, Hua Qianruo's personal maid.

Xia Rui looked at Si Cui and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Si Cui was blessed and replied: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, my mother has a terrible headache this time, and I want to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go over and have a look!" ”

When Yun Xiao heard this, he took a handkerchief and lit the fragrant sweat on his sideburns, it seems that the sores on Hua Tianruo's face are all gone, and it is strange that he can't see Xia Rui, so he doesn't have a headache!

However, Xia Rui didn't seem to want to go over very much, he frowned slightly and asked, "Headache?" Did you call in a royal doctor? ”

When Si Cui heard this, her face turned pale.

Xia Rui saw that she couldn't answer, and her face changed: "Didn't you go to the imperial doctor?" Concubine Hua is sick, why don't you go and ask the imperial doctor? ”

Seeing this, Yun Xiao started a round: "The maids who serve Concubine Hua are still young and have little experience, and when they saw that their master was sick, they panicked, and they came to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come over, which is also understandable, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might as well go over and take a look, if she is very sick, you can also comfort and comfort Concubine Hua." ”

Xia Rui let out a long sigh when he heard this.

He has grown up in the palace since he was a child, and he has long been accustomed to competing for favor between concubines, and now, it is his turn.

It's just that he is sitting here in Yun Xiao after all, and Hua Qian is too ignorant to send someone to invite him in such a grand manner.

Fortunately, Yun Xiao knew the general situation, otherwise, he didn't know how embarrassing it would be.

Xia Rui stood up and said to Yun Xiao apologetically: "Concubine Hua Fang has changed places to live, she may be a little unaccustomed to it at first, go over and take a look first, Crown Princess, don't wait for Lonely, rest early!" ”

When Yun Xiao heard this, he also stood up: "Yes, the concubine sends His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

--------------------

Although this incident caused a lot of distrust between the queen and the mother and son of the Jade Concubine, in fact, their alliance was not completely separated so easily.

What really brought the relationship between the queen and King De to the freezing point was actually the queen's next attitude towards King De.

Since Concubine Yu was grounded, King De has come to the Middle Palace to find the queen several times, hoping that the queen can say more good things for Concubine Yu in front of the emperor and release Concubine Yu as soon as possible.

However, twice in a row, King De did not even see the face of the queen, and each time the queen used a different excuse to let the palace people send him away.

By the third time, after being rejected by the palace people sent by the queen, King De did not leave the middle palace as he had done the previous two times, but kept standing in the main hall of the middle palace and the phoenix hall, refusing to leave no matter who persuaded him.

The people in the palace knew that King De was on fire now, and they didn't dare to persuade him more, let alone use force against him, so they could only tell the queen the truth about the things in the palace.

After the queen knew the situation, although she was angry, she also knew that this matter could not be escaped after all, so she had to order the maid to dress her up and come to the Chaofeng Palace to see King De.

When King De saw the queen, he smiled neither yin nor yang, and the tone of his speech even had a provocative meaning: "The queen is really busy taking care of the affairs of the harem, and now I finally have time to meet my son, and my son is really honored!" ”

The queen stretched out her hand to wave away the palace people standing in the hall, and said to King De:

"Yu Ze, it's not that this palace deliberately avoided you, on the cusp of this storm, let's avoid the limelight first!"

"What limelight to avoid?"

When the queen heard this, her face was very unsightly, and she said:

"It's useless for you to be in such a hurry, even if this palace goes to your father and says good things for your mother and concubine now, your father won't listen to it, maybe it will anger Long Yan and make things worse. Actually, this palace is also as anxious as you, and I can't wait to take your mother out immediately, but this matter needs time. ”

The queen deliberately avoided the important and trivialized, and when King De heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Niangniang, you don't want to say good things for my mother, right?!" ”

"You ......" The queen was suddenly debunked, and she couldn't help but turn pale.

The queen really didn't want to intercede for Concubine Yu, especially after being warned by the emperor, she had been deliberately avoiding King De, she knew that the emperor had seen through King De's ambition, and he was also disgusted with this ambition, he was not at ease with himself now, so even if he was dissatisfied with Xia Rui, he should not show too much affection for King De.

If she hadn't been pestered by him today, she wouldn't have come out to see King De.

On the other side, King De asked unceremoniously:

"Niangniang, even if you think that it is not the right time to say good things for the concubine now, then you don't need to see me all the time, shouldn't we sit down now and discuss how to rescue the concubine?!" Or do you think...... You alone are enough to compete with Xia Rui, so you don't need the support of me and my mother at all! Niangniang, Xia Rui has always remembered the matter of his mother's concubine, once he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, he will definitely order a thorough investigation of the affairs of the year, and at that time, whether Niangniang is innocent or not, will also be stigmatized! ”

When the queen heard this, she was very angry, she slapped the armrest of the phoenix chair fiercely, and angrily reprimanded:

"Presumptuous! You dare to threaten this palace, even if your mother is standing here now, you don't dare to talk to this palace in such a tone! Don't forget your own identity, is the Middle Palace also a place for you to go wild?! ”
