Chapter 160: Miscalculation
Now that she has torn her face, Gu Nianshu knows that it will be impossible for her and Gu Banqin to talk in harmony in the future, so she immediately changed back to her previous arrogant face, and still doesn't feel that what she has done is too much.
Maybe in their eyes, only their own lives are valuable, and other people's lives are as worthless as mustard, dead, injured and disabled, as long as they don't affect the noble, it is no different from the death of an ant.
After Gu Nianshu replied, she found that Gu Banqin did not answer immediately, and her eyes fluttered, and she suddenly laughed:
"Hehe, the most I heard is the wrong voice, what can be wrong? But you're different. โ
Gu Nianshu looked weird, walked up to Gu Banqin, and said gloatingly.
"The Queen Mother clearly wants to pick a son for you, who is Concubine De? How dare you calculate her? The Zhao family will not let you go, let alone the Zhao family, it is the emperor's place, you can't explain it, you really think that you have done a great thing, but you don't know, you are a pit before and after, and you are jumping no matter how you jump. โ
Gu Nianshu's words did not scare Gu Banqin, and replied:
"Concubine De is spewing blood, how can it be me who calculates Concubine De, the person who witnessed it was you who called over, and it was the Queen Mother who caught her out, even the people who offended Concubine De were all people around her, I can't beat the relationship with these eight poles, who can forcibly deduct the charge on my head?"
"As for the emperor, I can explain it however I want, even if anyone comes, I can't resist that someone is a demon under my nose. It's just that some demon people have to be careful in the future, maybe when they ......"
Gu Banqin paused when she spoke, slowly approached Gu Nianshu, leaned into her ear, and whispered:
"Maybe when, some people will be the second concubine."
Gu Nianshu's face changed greatly, and she looked at Gu Banqin in horror, as if Gu Banqin was some kind of flood beast now.
In fact, Gu Nianshu was indeed afraid of Gu Banqin at the moment, after all, she hadn't figured out what method Gu Banqin had used to turn the chess game that was certain to die all the way over.
After she and Concubine De colluded, as long as they went exactly according to their plan, Gu Banqin would be dead, even if the Queen Mother was suspicious.
But Gu Banqin was originally a thorn in the side of the Queen Mother, they came forward to solve Gu Banqin for the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was too late to be happy, so she would not pursue them at all, ordinary frames, they knew that there was no strength.
Therefore, I want to repeat the old tricks, I want Chang Le to make another move, so that Gu Banqin's disheveled clothes will be pulled out of the rockery by everyone, and her reputation will be ruined, who cares if she is wronged, even if the emperor supports her, it is impossible for the harem to accept a lady with a stain on chastity.
Everything is developing as they planned, but no one knows why when it comes to the last step, it is clear that there is only the last step left, and Gu Banqin turned defeat into victory, and also folded a concubine into it.
And the most important thing is that they don't know what method Gu Banqin used to harm Concubine De, as she herself said, in this matter, she picked herself quite cleanly, took a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and played everyone in the palm of her hand, and people were confused and didn't know her routines.
In this case, even if Concubine De woke up, she would not be able to push the charge onto Gu Banqin, firstly, there was no evidence, and secondly, the logic did not make sense, and no one believed it.
Gu Nianshu didn't want to lose to Gu Banqin on the surface, so she said inwardly:
"You wait, Zhao...... Won't let you go. โ
Gu Banqin looked at her without confidence, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked up a smile, and said to Gu Nianshu in a tone that she was angry and did not pay for her life:
I will also give you this sentence! Do you guess that after Concubine De wakes up, will she doubt you? โ
One sentence made Gu Nianshu change color again, and Gu Banqin walked away satisfied.
The Concubine De incident did not cause much turmoil in the harem, and it was also the reason why Gu Banqin deliberately suppressed it, except for some concubines who were called out by Gu Nianshu, some rumors came out, but they were all suppressed by Lihua Palace.
And Gu Banqin made people react quickly, and imposed heavy penalties on several people who took the lead in spreading the news, and under the โกโก of anger, no one in the harem dared to mention Concubine De on this cusp.
Because the Fang clan left it alone, the investigation of this matter fell into the hands of Gu Banqin, and there were people under Gu Banqin's hands, which fully reflected the importance of her recruitment at that time.
In Cining Palace, Fang's side is lying on the soft couch, and two small palace maids beat their legs on one side, and the third princess and Lin Yuxiu live in Cining Palace these days.
The third princess and Lin Yuxiu are both from Dadu, and the relationship between the two is very good, in addition, the Lin family has the intention of sending Lin Yuxiu into the palace, everyone knows that the girl of the Lin family will either not enter the palace, and once she enters the palace, she will aim for the position of queen.
With this relationship, the third princess has to stay by Lin Yuxiu's side, lest someone snatch her place in Lin Yuxiu's heart when she is away.
The imperial chef in the palace sent fish soup, the third princess and Lin Yuxiu sat on the side and ate, Mama Li went back and forth about the things in the palace these days, Mama Li was an important eyeliner placed outside the palace by the Fang family, and specially collected news outside the palace for the Fang family.
After the Concubine De incident, although the Fang family put all the responsibility on Gu Banqin, they were also afraid that Gu Banqin would not handle it well and cause a big mess, so they asked Mama Li to inquire outside many times, and the news that Fang was quite surprised:
"Concubine Xian Niangniang is resolute, although there was really gossip in the first two days, but Niangniang quickly suppressed it and punished a few who took the lead in spreading it, killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, and no one mentions that incident on the surface these days."
Fang closed his eyes and asked Mama Li, "Lihua Palace really has such a great ability?" โ
"Back to the Queen Mother, Lihua Palace does have some ability, the virtuous concubine is well-organized, the management is very in place, the people in the palace have clear positions, clear division of labor, and all things are handled in accordance with the rules, and I can't help but take care of the affairs of the palace in an orderly manner."
"Say something that shouldn't be said, in this harem, there are only things that Lihua Palace doesn't want to know, and there are no things they don't know, and the slaves and maids have also tried to break into Lihua Palace to listen, but to no avail."
Mama Li has been doing things for the Fang family since Helian entered the palace, and her evaluation of Lihua Palace is quite pertinent.
Fang's had long known that Gu Banqin had a set of management, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good, even Mama Li, who had always been picky, praised it, and when she opened her eyes, Fang's asked:
"If you really have such a means, you can't even get in, aren't you surrounded like an iron bucket?"
Fang's question was answered by Mama Li's objection: "Back to the Queen Mother, Lihua Palace is not like an iron bucket, but is fully open." โ
"What do you mean?" Fang was puzzled.
"What the slave said about penetrating fruitlessly means that there is no need to listen at all, Lihua Palace seems to have no secrets, no matter who can enter the palace, there is a special person to deal with the palace people, you want to know anything and someone will tell you, and what happens can be solved quickly, and it is all solved according to the rules."
"Dedicated people are responsible for special affairs, perform their duties, and be orderly, the kind of news that can only be known by stuffing money in the past is not concealed at all in Lihua Palace, not so much surrounded as an iron bucket, impermeable, but rather scattered like quicksand, too many particles, and can't be grasped."
When Mama Li said this, she couldn't help but sigh again in her heart, judging from her years of experience in inquiring about news, this kind of management method in Lihua Palace is called 'open' by Concubine Xian.
Because the news is known and shared by everyone, it avoids the occurrence of personal reselling of news for profit, and it is indeed very effective to manage people by rules in the past.
These words completely raised Fang's interest, and with a wave of his hand, the two little palace maids who were beating their legs stepped back, Fang's sat up, and said thoughtfully:
"It's really as ...... as she said before"
The 'she' in Fang's words is Gu Banqin, Gu Banqin also said this to Fang's when he reformed the harem rules in the past, and Fang's was half-convinced at that time, feeling that although Gu Banqin said a little bit of truth, he was still unwilling to agree with Gu Banqin too much.
Until now, Gu Banqin has insisted on going her own way, and has been in charge of the harem for so long, and there has indeed been nothing wrong, calming down all the previous chaos, and even the Fang clan can personally feel that the qi in the harem is gradually smoothing out.
She has personally managed the house, managed the harem, and knows that there are too many bullshit things, if there is no way, even if she pounces on the top all day long, she may not be able to manage it well, even if she is dissatisfied with Gu Banqin in her heart, she has to admit that Gu Banqin does have some ability, and at this time, listening to Mama Li's praise, her dissatisfaction with Gu Banqin seems to be a little less.
The third princess and Lin Yuxiu came over, and the third princess questioned Mama Li's words: "Is that Gu Banqin really so powerful?" Didn't Mama Li accept any benefits and say this on purpose? โ
When Gu Banqin rectified the harem, the third princess had not come back yet, so she didn't know the situation at that time, and she didn't quite understand what the rules and regulations formulated by Gu Banqin were, relying on her own estimates and ideas, she instinctively didn't want to believe in Gu Banqin's ability, and she also wanted to show her attitude in front of Lin Yuxiu, so that Lin Yuxiu knew more clearly that she was on her side.
Mama Li hurriedly shook her hand: "No, no, no, the slave and maid have absolutely no benefits, the slave and maid are just talking about things, this is ......"
Before Mama Li's words were finished, the Fang clan scolded the third princess: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, Mama Li doesn't need to pay attention to her, you go down first, Concubine De's matter is not trivial, Lihua Palace, you stare at it more, go down." โ
