Chapter Seventy-Four: The Thoughts of All Parties
Although Concubine Rong didn't seem to reveal much to Concubine Liangshu. But that was her unnatural way of diverting the subject. has already made Concubine Liang Shu understand that the matter of Fenghua Palace is related to her. But Concubine Liang Shu is very happy about this kind of thing. So after confirming the situation. Didn't say much. I just went back to my Changquan Palace satisfied.
"Yinglu. Go get ready. Send something to Fenghua Palace and Birou Palace. After all, there are two places that have gone out of the water. As one of the four concubines, I should also be concerned." Although that being said. But Concubine Liang Shu, neither in tone nor expression, could not see the meaning of caring at all. It's a little schadenfreude." It's really unexpected. Even Birou Palace will have an accident. Hmph."
"I don't think so...... Birou Palace is actually very strange."
"Hmm." Turning his head to look at Yinglu who asked this question, he was a little puzzled. Concubine Liangshu's expression was confused for a moment. But it came to me right away." That's it. Concubine Rong has great courage. Shouldn't have done anything to Birou Palace. What's more, Concubine Hua doesn't hinder her in anything. Concubine Rong is not the kind of woman who is born to fight for power and profit. Otherwise, she has the eldest prince as her backing. It shouldn't be just a little concubine now. Then there is another hidden reason for the water of Birou Palace...... But if it's really an accident. I won't believe it."
"That sitch. We'll have to plan ahead. Now it's the five princes who have come to investigate this matter. He's not some simple character who can fool the past. In case he finds out that we ...... "drugged. Even if there is no one around, Yinglu doesn't dare to understand it. But even if she's just hinting at it. Concubine Liang Shufei could also understand what she meant immediately.
"Don't worry. We have always done without leaving any evidence. He can find out how. What if you can't find out. Anyway, we can't do anything. What's more, Concubine Jue's miscarriage this time was completely because of the water in Fenghua Palace. Even if you want to blame it, you can only blame it on Concubine Rong. But I didn't expect Concubine Rong to use such a method. Is...... What should I say about her? Huh."
"Anyway. At least now everything is within the mother's expectations. The concubine had a miscarriage and lost the prince. And this matter can only be blamed on Concubine Rong. We didn't even have to think about how to find a replacement ghost before someone came to the door. It can be seen that this time even God is on the side of the mother." Yinglu smiled. He bowed and seemed to be happy that things were going so well. But she didn't forget that she had brought up the conversation to remind her mother." But don't underestimate the five princes. After all, he is a man who wants to take the heir. It's hard to guarantee that he won't take this opportunity to win over the eldest prince behind Concubine Rong. Then let him find out what we were doing to Concubine Jue behind our backs. Instead, it wouldn't be good to pull us out for Concubine Rong to be substitutes for the dead."
"This ...... Probably not." What Yinglu said is indeed reasonable. Concubine Liang Shu's face also had a little hesitation. We should leave no trace in what we do. He didn't have much evidence to find. Besides, things started because of the water. If he's going to find a replacement for the dead. It's time to blame the water for the incident...... Yes. Let's put it this way. Birou Palace walks the water. Could it be that he did the same thing? The purpose is to take advantage of the Fenghua Palace case. Pull the Great Prince into his camp. But how could he have foreseen in advance that Concubine Rong was going to set fire to Fenghua Palace."
"Maybe he didn't know it in the first place. However, in order to win over the concubines, Concubine Hua Guifei increased the bargaining chips for the five princes in seizing the heir. So deliberately let yourself go to the palace too. There is another excuse for the five princes to help the concubines. to win favors? If that's the case. Mother, it's too dangerous. Because if that's the case. Niangniang, you can be the biggest obstacle on the way for Jue Concubine and Hua Guifei to join forces. Because you are also the emperor's favorite person."
"Hmph. That's a good calculation." Concubine Liang, who clarified the current situation through Yinglu, was really shocked into a cold sweat at this time. In fact, things have been going a little too well these days. made her a little out of her usual caution. If it weren't for Yinglu's reminder. I'm afraid she can't think of this layer yet." It looks like we're not going to be able to relax yet. You'll have to plan a bit. First of all...... Gotta find someone who can do it when there is no way back. It's the ghost who carries everything down."
"Niangniang's heart...... But there's already a candidate." Hearing Liang Shufei's words. Yinglu was a little relieved. Knowing his words has made his mother think clearly about the current situation. And decided to fight back after . She also realized that she had not stayed by her mother's side in vain.
"Well...... Yao Baolin was turned over by the emperor but stayed in Fenghua Palace. I didn't even look at her. I've been crying for days. Because of this, I was laughed at enough by the little hostesses in the palace. Even if there are still people who use this as after-dinner talk and laughter capital. You guess...... She won't be confused for a moment. And to do something irreparable." Slowly turned around and sat down on the soft couch in the dormitory. Concubine Liang Shufei casually dialed the small incense burner. Let the leisurely and pleasant incense burn a little stronger. Then he turned his head sideways to look at Yinglu who was waiting on the side. Smile meaningfully.
And just after Concubine Rong and Concubine Liang Shu both coincidentally set the target of scapegoating on Yao Baolin. As if I felt something. The conversation in Birou Palace also revolved around the innocent poor little master.
"The mother thinks. Yao Baolin will be the ultimate scapegoat. Whether it's water or evidence of drugs. The last person to bear all this. It's going to be her anyway." The calm and magnetic male voice opened his mouth slowly. Xiao Yingzhe half sat and half leaned back in the chair. The posture seems quite casual. But the attitude is quite serious.
"You've always been smarter than me. Wouldn't you think of it? Yao Baolin because His Majesty turned over her brand before but stayed in Fenghua Palace. It has been ridiculed by many people to this day. She herself cried for days because of this. To say that she has a motive. That's what anyone would believe. Although to make people believe that it was really her doing. I'm afraid that most of the people in this harem will disdain. But wait until the evidence is in front of you. Then nothing has to be said."
"Hmm...... Truly. This analysis makes sense. If I want to finish early, I should arrest Yao Baolin. Then lock her up for three or four days. Use some more means. That's the end of it." Xiao Yingzhe nodded. He seems to be quite serious." Time-saving. Convenient. Effortless. That's a great way to do it."
"You have to go to such great lengths to light a fire in my palace. It's hard to get back to the past. I just learned about it casually." Hua Guifei glanced at her son with a smile. Zhizi Mo Ruomu. For Xiao Yingzhe's thoughts. She's got it." You just want to use this matter to sell a favor to the concubine. Let her have to help you take the heir in the future. And it will also make others not suspicious of your contact in the future. Since it is necessary to achieve such a purpose. You should work hard. Catch such a murderer who at least the concubine will never believe. You will do it. Then I'll look at the matter of taking the heir. Don't think about it before it's too late. I'm so happy."
"Tsk. Mother, you are saying this mercilessly." He shook his head helplessly. Xiao Yingzhe laughed again. You can't even make a joke now. It's going to be lonely there."
"You don't give me a gag here. I don't know you yet." She glared at him angrily. Hua Guifei thought about it for a moment. He spoke again." If you want to guess who is behind this scene. I really can't think of it for a while. Because there are many people who have the motivation and can resort to such means. But I know it must not have been done by Concubine Liangshu. Her methods will definitely be much cleaner. But she was not behind the arson, though. He must have done something to the concubine. If you can use this opportunity to pull her down. It's also good for your development in the previous dynasty. After all, Concubine Liang's maiden family is defeated. You can think of people who are empty of them."
"Thank you to the Queen Mother for caring for me at such a time. But my foundation is solid. Even if you want to develop again. There is no rush either. If it goes too far, it will attract the attention of the emperor. It upsets him." Xiao Yingzhe thought about it for a moment. Mother might as well give me a list of your doubts. I've got directions and I'm looking up faster. After all, I have other things to do. You can't put all your attention in the harem. And I've been moving out of the harem for years. For these years the new entanglements and the power of the concubines moves. I was a little confused for a moment."
"Hmm. By the way, Fenghua Palace is now burned like that. Where are the concubines going to live next? Did she say anything to you?"
"Did. She meant to move to Xiyuyuan temporarily. Live with her good sister Hyun So-yong." Xiao Yingzhe replied. He asked again. What kind of person is this virtuous and virtuous person? It seems that he has always been unknown. I didn't even notice such a person. How inexplicably she became a good sister in the harem with Concubine Jue. He is so favored by his father."
"She is the daughter of Shu Binshi, the Minister of War and Aircraft. When I first entered the palace, I looked indifferent. Never compete for favor. I also don't like to communicate with the little masters of the harem. It's just a quiet wait for yourself. Therefore, the emperor pampered her a few times and then became cold. This time she will become such a good sister with Jue Concubine and actively compete for favor, I can't imagine it. Maybe the family said something about her. The women in the harem are like this anyway. Sometimes even if you don't want to. For the sake of the family. There are some things that have to be done."
