Chapter 166: I Still Have Hole Cards
Baili Concubine pondered for a moment, pursed her lips, and her expression was a little unnatural.
"Yes, Hong'er rushes in, because I really can't think of any other good plan."
"Not to mention whether the action can be successful, even if the queen and the prime minister are killed together, who will the power of the DPRK and China fall into at that time?"
"It should be in the hands of Lin Chengyong and Prince Dongping."
"Yes, it's them, although Lord Lin is not a princeling, but he has always been cold to Shu'er, and he doesn't know what medicine he sells in his gourd, so this is the next step!"
"Oh, can you find a way to save the emperor, let the emperor return to power, depose the queen, and degrade the commonplace?"
Yue'er suddenly thought that the fake Bi Qianyu was a person from the Qihua Palace, and the Qihua Palace also had an antidote, but the Yuan Concubine had never rescued Xuanling, which must have a deep meaning.
"No, now the situation is in the hands of the queen, once the emperor shows signs of improvement, the queen will poison him, we don't do a good job in this matter, we will expose ourselves!"
Hearing this, the hope that Yue'er had been holding on to in her heart was instantly shattered, and she found that she had overlooked a serious point, that is, Xuan Ling was already a puppet, and it was the queen who was really in charge, even if Xuan Ling woke up, she couldn't change reality.
Concubine Baili asked, "Then what are you going to do with King Qi?" β
"Alas, let Shu'er be like me, pretend to be sick, this errand of the prison country must not be done again!"
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
"Now the key is to borrow a knife to kill, let the queen depose the prince first, at this time we can really shoot, the timing must be grasped well, a little ahead or lag behind, will not succeed, and I still have the last hole card not played, this hole card out, the queen and Sikong Man will be shocked!"
Concubine Yuan laughed proudly.
Concubine Baili didn't dare to ask Concubine Yuan what hole card she was, but she said: "The palace master is smart, but will the prince and Concubine Shu Xian sit still?" β
"It can only be said that they deserve to be killed, Taiwei Gao and the prince secretly communicated with each other, he actually sent him to be an ambassador for peace, the prince cut off his own arm, and now he wants to get it back, it's difficult!"
Yue'er was shocked, the relationship in the palace was complicated, it was completely involved in the whole body, there was no clear thinking, it couldn't be counted at all, at that time she thought that she could take away Taiwei Gao and investigate the old case of the Ran family, who knew that this move would trigger a change.
The prince's hole cards were originally the most powerful, he had the support of Xuan Ling, the Queen Mother and Gao Taiwei, but Xuan Ling was poisoned, Gao Taiwei left, and the Queen Mother died again, and the queen took the opportunity to seize power with an iron fist.
Now Concubine Yuan's hole card is Qihua Palace, Yue'er suddenly found that her hands were empty, if she wanted to deal with Concubine Yuan, there were still two hundred and seventy-three immortal pills left by Ximen, but she had nothing for the queen.
At this time, the voice of Ling Shangyu came from outside.
"Niangniang, have you changed your filial piety clothes, the time has come, we are going to the Ciming Hall to guard the spirit of the Queen Mother."
Baili Concubine snorted.
"The queen is really vicious, she knows that the palace master is not in good health, and she forces you to go to the vigil at night, this is a clear poison!"
Concubine Yuan replied outwards and said, "The palace is a little late. β
Then there was the sound of changing clothes.
"Palace master, there are many sets of cotton robes in your filial piety clothes, and you don't know how long you have to stay up all night to keep vigil, in case your condition is aggravated, it will be troublesome."
"It's okay, what I'm most worried about now is how long the Ascending Immortal Pill can save my life, and whether I can wait until the day when Shu'er ascends to the throne."
"The palace master is too worried, it must be possible."
Yue'er suddenly thought that others taking the Ascending Immortal Pill were addicted and controlled, but Concubine Yuan was used to treat diseases, and she didn't know what kind of disease she had.
"Well, is there any news from Envoy Huang, did she go to Leizhou to start refining the Ascending Immortal Pill?"
"Yet, there's no news yet."
Concubine Yuan walked to the door, suddenly turned around and said, "That Concubine Duan should be cold, dry and hungry at the moment, you go and prepare, bring a cotton coat, bring a pot of water and food, and let her give one last order to take out all the remaining Immortal Ascending Pills!" β
"What if she refuses?"
Concubine Yuan smiled viciously.
"Then starve her, and go back tomorrow!"
"However, our Immortal Ascension Pill has also been used to the extreme, it can't be replenished within three days, two people will die, and it can't be replenished within half a month, and the three special teachers in Haizhou can't keep it, and then Xiaobai will follow!"
Yue'er doesn't know what the three special teachers of Xiaobai and Haizhou are, so it should be very important.
Concubine Yuan's eyes shot coldly.
"Isn't there still time!"
"Yes, yes, Hong'er understands."
"If you get the rest of the Immortal Ascension Pill, you will poison that girl to death, and you must not let her spread the news!"
"Yes, yesβ"
Yue'er sneered in her heart, Concubine Yuan, like the queen, is a femme fatale!
Outside, there was the voice of Ling Shang's sleep again.
"Niangniang, Yu Shanggong is here, she came to invite you in person."
Concubine Yuan snorted and said, "Okay, this palace will come out immediately!" He turned his head and took care of Concubine Baili: "The palace is gone, remember, we must force Concubine Duan to take out the Immortal Ascending Pill, our bottom limit is to get at least fifteen pieces, this matter is done well, the palace will not blame you for the past, and add another reward!" β
"Yes, Hong'er understands, palace master, you also take care."
Concubine Yuan stretched out her hand and pinched Baili Fei's face and walked out.
Yue'er sneered in her heart, you guys are holding on to me, and you dare to be so arrogant, I really don't know what it means, but I don't know what the last hole card she just said is, is it a person, or the same thing?
waited until the footsteps outside were far away, and Baili Concubine quietly went out.
At this time, Concubine Baili went to prepare cotton clothes and food, Yue'er thought about it, and secretly said: "I am in a dangerous situation now, there is no place to go in the palace, and it is difficult to escape, so I can only go back to Kunxi Hall to pretend to be trapped, but when Concubine Baili will come to me, how should I deal with it?" β
Thinking so, Yue'er walked to the shrine, picked up a piece of snack and ate it, she only ate two apples just now, and she was still very hungry.
Suddenly, Yue'er's heart moved, thinking of Concubine Baili's expression just now, and couldn't help but say to herself: "Could it be that Concubine Baili has a gap with Concubine Yuan?" β
With this thought, Yue'er seemed to see a glimmer of hope in front of her eyes, and at this time there was a sound of footsteps outside, Yue'er hurriedly jumped on the shrine and opened the secret door to get in, and after a while, she returned to the Kunxi Hall through the secret passage.
At this time, it was dark outside, and it was dusk again.
Back in Kunxi Palace, Yue'er found a green brick on the ground, wrapped it in a cloth and hid it in her arms, and then found a dark corner to sit down.
After waiting for a stick of incense, Concubine Baili had not yet appeared, Yue'er was about to get up to look, when she suddenly heard a click on the shrine, the secret door was pulled open from the inside, and a woman's figure appeared on it.
The woman held the candlestick in one hand, and the candlelight shone on her face, revealing a face with light makeup, and her facial features were delicate, but her face was pale and bloodless.
Yue'er sat motionless on the ground.
"Concubine Duan."
The woman screamed.
"Who are you?"
Yue'er tried her best to make her voice hoarse.
"Sister, I'm sorry, it's me."
Yue'er snorted deliberately.
"It's you!"
"It's me."
Baili Concubine was a little strange, Yue'er didn't seem to be shocked, when she pushed the door in just now, she found that the hidden door bolt was not inserted, and a trace of nervousness flashed in her heart, and when she entered the Kunxi Hall and saw Yue'er sitting on the ground, she was relieved.
"You didn't kill me last time, are you here to mend the knife?"
"Sister, you're wrong, I didn't think about killing you, I really had no choice, and this time I'm here to talk about a deal."
Concubine Baili walked up to Yue'er and untied a package on her waist, which contained a box of snacks and a pot of water.
Yue'er unceremoniously picked up a piece of dim sum and stuffed it into her mouth, she just remembered that Concubine Yuan had to give her food after she agreed, and Concubine Baili really didn't obey the order.
"Sister, do you want to take those immortal ascension pills for your palace?"
"Yes, since you still call me sister, for the sake of the past, just listen to my sister's persuasion and let Ximen and those people return all the Ascending Immortal Pills."
"What if I pay it back, how long will I live?"
Baili Concubine smiled bitterly.
"It's not up to me to decide, if you don't agree, then I'll have to come back tomorrow." She said she was gesturing to take her heart.
"Waitβ"
Yue'er seemed to hesitate.
