Is this the law of survival in the harem?

Tong Guifei said: "This matter has been analyzed and analyzed, and it can basically be determined that Li Jingzi did it.

However, Concubine Shu's people are too powerful, and it is not easy to find evidence, so we can only find a way. ”

"No way!" Duanmu Qing didn't know why he would refuse.

The first thing that flashed in my mind was not because it was Li Jingzi who had not yet been determined at this time, so I pushed everything on her.

She Duanmuqing is not a good man and a woman, and she doesn't care about Li Jingzi's life or death.

What she cares about is that if this matter is found out, it will no longer be her alone.

The crime of bullying the monarch and the crime of framing the concubine can be completely confirmed, so can the entire Yongding Marquis Mansion afford it?

"Why?"

Concubine Tong didn't understand a little, as far as she knew, the relationship between Duanmu Qing and Li Jingzi had changed to the point where water and fire were incompatible.

And she's not that soft-hearted.

"I can't take that risk."

Hearing this, Concubine Tong was relieved, and her smile became brighter: "Don't worry, this will not be risky at all." ”

Duanmu Qing was a little puzzled, and looked at her with some doubts in her eyes.

"Do you really think I saved you that day?"

Her rhetorical question made Duanmu Qing stunned, and she didn't understand what she meant for a while.

Hooked his lips and smiled, and the smile was deep and a little sad under this firelight: "If it weren't for Your Majesty's thoughts, no one would be able to save you." ”

"What do you mean...... Your Majesty didn't intend to kill me in the first place? ”

At this sentence, Concubine Tong did not answer her, but still stood there with a smile, clearly acquiescing.

"How is that possible?!"

That teacup was not fake, only Cai Wei was standing next to her at that time, and according to normal thinking reasoning, a little maid would not do this.

Therefore, the emperor did kill at that time.

"That's right, His Majesty really wanted to kill you at the beginning, that's human nature, after all, it was his son who died, and you were the almost certain murderer at that time."

Seeing her even more puzzled expression, Concubine Tong continued: "But your life is big, and you didn't die, so Your Majesty has time to think about it." ”

"Considerations?"

"That's right!" As if she had shouted some ice picks in her eyes, her voice suddenly became a little cold, "Since the child is dead, how to maximize the value of his death is what His Majesty has to consider." ”

"What?!" Duanmu Qing immediately understood what she meant, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Killing you will not only do him no good at all, but will also make him lose a big boost to the Yongding Marquis Mansion.

And your identity is still the future eldest princess of Dongli, and now Xiqi and Dongli are not beneficial to war, no matter which side they are for.

Therefore, killing you will do him a hundred harms but no benefits. ”

At this point, she suddenly held her hands on the cell door and coughed violently.

The steps on her head shook violently because of her cough.

Even in such dim light, Duanmu Qing could clearly see her flushed face from coughing.

Out of the doctor's instinct, Duanmu Qing immediately buckled her pulse accurately, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

After coughing, Concubine Tong looked at her with a smile: "It's just a matter of waiting for time, get used to it." ”

Indeed, as she said, her illness has reached the end of her life, and if she wants to be cured, she is afraid that it is very difficult.

originally thought that she would have some purpose, but Duanmu Qing began to understand it now.

What could a hopeless person have to worry about like this?

Concubine Tong didn't care what she thought in her heart, and continued: "Now above the court, there are many party henchmen, and the princes and His Majesty are in opposition.

And now, there are not many people who can be used by His Majesty. ”

As soon as she said this, the things that Duanmu Qing had been ignoring before became clear.

Zhao Yuxing, Zhao Yuxuan, Zhao Yufeng, and Zhao Yuhong's wings are gradually plump, but His Majesty is getting older.

And the officials of the court are almost standing in line, and now it seems that His Majesty is only a little superior to his children.

This little bit, in fact, is just the position of the emperor.

Although these are his sons, the royal family has never been affectionate.

It's cold in the heights, Zhao Ye has already begun to be afraid of these children.

Even, there is already a killing intent.

"Although the third prince Zhao Yufeng is young and promising, and has been recognized by many ministers, his mother family has withered, and relatively speaking, he is the least threatening.

Moreover, I heard that Princess Yuyan had a very close relationship with him, and the Empress Dongli was very satisfied with him as a colt.

On the contrary, the hussar general successfully diverted water at Pingyang Pass some time ago, turning the wasteland in that area into fertile land, which was a great credit, but he said that it was the idea of the fifth prince Zhao Yuxuan.

At this time, the people of Pingyang Pass are worshipping the five princes!

No matter which way you think about it, Li Jingzi is more like a murderer than Han Yuyan. ”

After saying so many words in one breath, Concubine Tong held on to the prison door, panting slightly.

Duanmu Qing put her mind on what she had just said.

This is the heart of the emperor.

Even if it is his own child who dies, he can use this to achieve his own goals, and the so-called love of licking calves is just in that teacup.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Qing couldn't help but look at the woman who suddenly visited the prison.

She came today, did she come by herself? It was the emperor who sent him.

"He is such a person, he will always calculate the greatest benefit in the shortest time." Leaning against the prison door, Concubine Tong's tone suddenly became a little tired.

But Duanmu Qing clearly saw the hatred in her eyes.

"You know him well?"

It was just a tentative word, but it caused the other party to sneer.

"Huh!" Concubine Tong nodded, "This understanding has taken me all my life, if I had known that he was such a person, how could I end up like this." ”

At this time, the hatred became very strong, as if she couldn't tear off the skin and bones of the person she resented in her heart.

I don't know why, Duanmu Qing has a feeling in his heart that the person Tong Guifei hates is very likely to be the emperor.

"I should have understood a long time ago that he has no father-son relationship, and I should have understood a long time ago, even if it is Heng'er, it is the same."

Speaking of this, she slowly closed her eyes, and a crystal tear flowed from the corner of her eye.

Heng'er! Zhao Yuheng, the fourth prince who was sent to the east.

Concubine Tong has rarely moved around over the years, and everyone has almost forgotten the existence of this prince.

And appearing in her mouth at this time also made Duanmu Qing react for a while before remembering.

This person made Duanmu Qing immediately think of Han Lingxi, who was also a proton.

In Dongli, is there also a woman who misses Zhao Yuheng as much as Concubine Tong Guifei?

Regarding his mother's concubine, Han Lingxian never mentioned it.

Suddenly, she found that she didn't know much about the man who was nominally about to become her husband.

"Why? Why are you helping me? ”

Since she hates the emperor, why should she help the emperor?

Although they are also helping her, their friendship is really not deep.

Concubine Tong looked at her face, and the smile in the firelight was a little blurred: "Because you are very similar to a friend of mine when I was young, a very good friend." ”

"Friends?"

Nodding, Concubine Tong said a little sadly: "It's a pity that he has been dead for many years, and now I can't remember what he looks like, but when you confronted Your Majesty that day, you really looked like him." ”

Is this explanation enough?

Duanmu Qing didn't know.

"It's time for me to go, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, you'll be able to get out."

Concubine Tong collected her emotions and said with a smile.

Duanmu Qing didn't speak, just quietly watched her go from light to dark.

Suddenly, there was an illusion, as if this woman had returned to her boundless dark life.

In the pavilion, Li Jingzi handed a beautiful box to Concubine Jiang.

"Sister, this shark bead necklace was given to me by my grandmother as a dowry, I have never been willing to bring it, my sister's skin is as white as snow, it must look good when she wears it, give it to my sister."

Through Concubine Jiang's relationship, she used the money she asked for from Li Yanyu to successfully change the confessions of several palace maids who were found out.

This time, she took a good look at how Duanmu Qing died.

This Concubine Jiang, although she doesn't like it, has helped a lot this time after all.

At the same time, it also made her see that this woman might be of great use in the future.

Anyway, the contradiction between them is just because of a Zhao Yuxuan.

Now Zhao Yuxuan's interest in her has long been gone, and she has a relationship with Zhimo after all, and she is even a little disgusted with her.

Such a man, what is there to fight for, have a good relationship with Concubine Jiang, and she can still sit on her throne as the princess.

She didn't care about the rest.

Concubine Jiang opened the box with a smile, and was dazzled in an instant, and said secretly: "No wonder others say that the Duke of Qi is rich, such a good thing, I have never seen it here in Zhao Yuxuan."

And she married a woman with a foreign surname, and she took such a good thing to marry, maybe there was anything better! ”

Thinking of this, he also smiled like a flower: "Sister really feels sorry for my sister, it's very hot here, why don't we go and sit with my sister!" My sister has never been there! ”

Hearing this, Li Jingzi couldn't wait, and even wanted the whole mansion to know that the two women with the highest status in the entire Five Kings Mansion had formed a gang.

When she returned to Li Jingzi's residence, she began to tell the maids in the house to pack up their things and come out to entertain.

Concubine Jiang looked around, and was full of praise, saying that Li Jingzi was the pearl of the old lady of the Duke of Qi.

Although she already had a grudge against the Zhao family in her heart, when she heard such praise at this time, Li Jingzi couldn't help but feel fluttering.

However, when she didn't pay attention, Concubine Jiang secretly glanced at one of her maids.

The maid understood, and immediately quietly hid in the corner.
