Chapter 295: The Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine
"In Ziyun City, near the Son of Heaven, the imperial concubine will naturally not poison Prince Yu." The Queen Mother knew that even if the imperial concubine hated Shangguan Hanyue to the core, she would not attack it in front of Emperor Qi.
"Queen Mother, you mean that the fire just now was indeed an accident, not that someone deliberately set it on fire." Aunt Feng originally concluded that the fire in the wing room was deliberately caused by someone, but now she is a little uncertain when she hears the Queen Mother talk about it.
"That fire was naturally man-made." The Queen Mother's eyes were full of clarity as if she were in the world, "Otherwise, who would not know that the people inside were the princes who were most valued by the emperor, and how could they easily and deliberately set a fire." ”
"The queen mother means that the imperial concubine deliberately indulged those people with ill intentions, if those people succeeded, they could take the opportunity to get rid of the prince Yu, but if those people missed, the imperial concubine only needed to admit that she was incompetent in front of the emperor to get away with the crime, and then the emperor's anger would only be sprinkled on the arsonist. The imperial concubine does not have to bear the responsibility of murdering the prince. Aunt Feng pondered the Queen Mother's thoughts and analyzed.
"Although the imperial concubine is ambitious, she also knows how to hide her fox tail, but that niece, relying on being the concubine of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, and thinking that she has a prominent uncle, is acting more and more unscrupulous." The Queen Mother has always held Ning Banghua up in the past, but in private, it was because of Bai's identity that she couldn't get on the stage, and she didn't even look down on Ning Banghua.
"Speaking of which, the imperial concubine's cousin Bai is really a delicate and ruthless character, who turned her face and forced the Bai family's housewife to death after climbing up to the imperial concubine." Looking at Aunt Feng's expression, she also looked down on the Bai family, but she also had to admit that the Bai family was indeed smart and ruthless enough, "It stands to reason that with a fierce and scheming mother like the Bai family, the eldest lady of the Zuo Xiangfu should be better than her, but I didn't expect that the eldest lady to be a domineering personality but have no calculations." ”
"If the eldest lady of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion and the Bai family are all the way, the imperial concubine will not be so happy to agree to her marrying into Prince Heng's mansion as a concubine."
Although Aunt Feng has been by the Queen Mother's side for a long time, she has seen a lot of things, and she can be regarded as a little knowledgeable, but she also doesn't understand the relationship between the court situation and the noble family of the Gaomen, and for a while she was a little unpredictable about the deep meaning of the Queen Mother's words.
The Queen Mother didn't want to bother to talk to Aunt Feng about those things above the government, so she didn't talk anymore, but leaned on the soft collapse and closed her eyes.
The Empress Dowager and Aunt Feng discussed the Imperial Concubine and Prince Heng for a long time, and the Imperial Concubine was already supported by the cloud pattern and returned to Changchun Palace.
Yunwen has been serving by the imperial concubine's side for a long time, and he knows the temperament of the imperial concubine the most, and knows that the imperial concubine has just been snubbed by Emperor Qi, so he is not very happy, so he sent all the palace people who served him, and only he stayed in the inner room to serve the imperial concubine.
"Moire, I ordered someone to pour the boiled lily lotus seed soup." The imperial concubine was lazily leaning on the couch, but suddenly opened her eyes, and actually ordered the cloud pattern to pour out the lily lotus seed soup that had been boiled for three or four hours.
"Yes, the slave and maid will give the order." Yunwen knew that the pot of soup was the knot in the imperial concubine's heart, so he went out of the outer room in person after getting the imperial concubine's instructions, and returned to the inner room after instructing the palace people to pour out the lily lotus seed soup.
"Moire, it's too dark in the house, go add two more lights." The imperial concubine saw through the window that it was already twilight outside, and the last trace of the sun on the horizon was very like, and now she was about to cool her heart.
Yunwen listened to the instructions of the imperial concubine, and quickly walked in front of the two glazed palace lamps, and soon lit the fire and lit the palace lanterns.
The inner room was also as bright as day in an instant because of the dazzling light of the two glass palace lamps.
"Moire, how can this palace feel that it is still too dark here." The imperial concubine looked at the two dazzling glass palace lights.
"If the mother feels dark, the slave maid will order the Sizhen Bureau to send two more glass palace lamps."
"No need, no matter how bright the light is, it can't shine into the heart." The imperial concubine's eyes darkened, and the whole person leaned on the soft collapse and stopped talking.
Shangguan Qingyu took Su Xin all the way to a palace, and Su Xin saw that the plaque in front of the palace was covered with a thick layer of dust.
"Here?" Su Xin was about to ask, but Shangguan Qingyu jumped off the wall with Su Xin on his tiptoes, and landed steadily in the courtyard.
After Su Xin stood firmly, he quietly pushed away Shangguan Qingqiao, pretending to look at the depressed scene of the courtyard and said, "This is the palace where His Royal Highness lived when he was not crowned a prince in the past?" ”
The princes all have their own palaces when they are not crowned princes, except for Shangguan Hanyue, who left his biological mother since he was a child, and was given the grace of Emperor Qi to live in the queen's Qingtian Palace, and the rest of the princes have to live in their own palaces when they are not crowned princes.
"Hmm." A short word is already rare in Shangguan Qingqiao, you must know that if you ask ten sentences coldly on weekdays, Shangguan Qingqiao usually won't even respond to a sentence.
"You're here for the rest of the day." After Shangguan Qingqiao finished speaking, he was already dragging his robe and walking towards the second courtyard.
Su Xin followed behind Shangguan Qingqiao according to his words, thinking that the courtyard had been cleaned, but he didn't expect that the courtyard was already full of dead leaves, and at first glance, it looked like he hadn't lived there for a long time.
Shangguan Qingqiao suddenly said coldly: "Remember what this king just said, don't take a step out of Jingxuan Palace these days." ”
"Don't bother His Royal Highness Prince Heng, it's more appropriate for the slave to go back to the Ninth Princess's Moon Chasing Xuan." Su Xin was reluctant to live in the Jingxuan Palace in Shangguan Qingqiao, and whenever she was alone with Shangguan Qingyuan, Su Xin always felt that a heart was about to jump out of her chest, so she naturally tried her best to avoid Shangguan Qingyuan.
"Didn't you see that the Imperial Concubine was ambushed in the Moon Chasing Xuan?" Shangguan Qingqiao knew that Su Xin had followed Ning Zhixuan's stubborn temperament, if he didn't make it clear, Su Xin would definitely secretly return to Chasing Moon Xuan while he was away.
"Is there a fine work lurking in the Moon Chasing Xuan? Isn't that fifth lady in danger? After Su Xin knew that there were some details in Chasing the Moon Xuan, she was even more anxious to rush back to the Chasing Moon Xuan.
Shangguan Qingqiao swept his sleeves widely, closed all the doors in the hall, and then patiently explained: "Since it is a fine work that has finally lurked into the Chasing Moon Xuan, it will not be easy to reveal your identity, otherwise those people will already do it when you are sent back to the Chasing Moon Xuan." ”
Su Xin condensed her eyebrows and thought about Shangguan Qingyu's words, and felt that it made a lot of sense, after all, the defense in the Moon Chasing Xuan was tight, and there was no chance for Xianzuo to kill him. Moreover, if the force force makes too much noise, it will definitely alarm everyone.
