() When Xue Ke took a day off and went to Linglong Pavilion, he saw Nangong with a flattering smile: "Congratulations to the lady!" ”

Other colleagues also congratulated him.

Xue Ke smiled back with a headache.

When he signaled Nangong to enter his compartment, Nangong looked at Xue Ke vigilantly and showed his familiar sly smile.

"Lord Nangong, what's new in the East Palace recently?"

Nangong thought for a while and scratched his head: "Your Highness went to Shanxi with you, but the East Palace is very calm." ”

Xue Ke sighed and said, "That adult must be very lonely!" I have a big secret here, do you want to hear it? ”

Nangong jumped away, and the familiar routine feeling came back to his head. Two years ago, after he learned the secret of the prince's snubbing of Xue Ke out of curiosity, he was worried for several years.

He looked at Xue Ke suspiciously: "What does the lady want to tell me?" What do you want me to do? ”

Xue Ke looked at his fingers and said with a smile: "It's up to you whether you listen or not!" But the old rules, my lord, after listening to my big secret, you still have to do me a small favor! ”

Nangong was curious by nature, scratched his ears and cheeks for a long time, and the strong man gritted his teeth like a broken wrist and said, "Okay!" Deal! ”

Xue Ke smiled and leaned into his ear and whispered.

Nangong jumped up instantly!

Stare at her!

"Lady! I didn't hear anything! Nangong was like a cat jumping on his feet: "You didn't tell me anything!" So saying, he went out.

"Lord Nangong." Xue Ke shouted softly.

Nangong closed his eyes, stopped resignedly, turned around, and smiled bitterly: "Lady! Why are you pestering me! ”

Xue Ke sighed: "My lord, I can't help it!" ”

"Lady!" Nangong looked at Xue Ke in disbelief: "Why are you making this fuss?" Besides, Your Highness is all-encompassing to you, why are you pretending to be happy! ”

Xue Ke bit his lip and told Nangong about Su Qiuniang one by one.

"The Queen's Feathered Guard? Assassination of His Highness twice? Still hurt you? Nangong shook his head: "I'm afraid this won't work." ”

"I also know it's difficult, but I really can't watch her die with the fetus in her womb, so I came up with this solution."

"How?" Nangong jumped to his feet again: "What kind of method are you?" Isn't that something that will soon be debunked? How will you explain to Your Highness then? ”

Xue Ke rubbed his temples with a headache and smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I was also confused at the time, and I said it in passing, but I didn't expect His Highness to react so much." ”

Seeing that Nangong was about to go crazy again, Xue Ke immediately clasped his hands together and said expectantly: "So please help me!" On His Royal Highness's side, I will explain my own ideas, but on Su Qiuniang's side, my lord will help me think of ideas. The child in her womb, I'm afraid it won't be a few days on the side of the seventh master. ”

Nangong looked at her eyes, and couldn't say anything if she refused, so she said for a while: "Then I'll go to Lao Qi's side to have a look." ”

When I went out, I couldn't help but nag: "Lady! You're going to kill me! ”

Xue Ke continued to show a pitiful expression. Nangong shook his head and sighed, and finally admonished: "Don't tell others that I know about this!" Otherwise, Your Highness will have to peel off my skin! ”

Xue Ke gave him a harmless smile.

Nangong scolded himself silently in his heart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Nangong entered, he happened to see a few people coming out, and his face was pale.

Nangong patted Yingda on the shoulder sympathetically, Yingda couldn't help frowning, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

Nangong was so frightened that he retracted his hand and asked tentatively, "Is this just finished receiving the punishment?" ”

Yingda didn't speak, and Nangong knew that this was a tacit acquiescence.

"Because of Su Qiuniang's matter?"

Yingda snorted.

Nangong's heart became even heavier. This Su Qiuniang's matter has even punished the shadow guards, and it is too difficult for Su Qiuniang to retreat.

Of course, the Seventh Master's torture hall is not a comfortable and pleasant place. But unlike a regular prison, it's clean.

Nangong walked straight in, and saw that the Seventh Master was walking towards this side.

The Seventh Master is the same as his torture hall, which is very clean and uncomfortable.

The Seventh Master carefully wiped his hands with a strangely white dry cloth, his breathing was slightly uneven, and it looked like he had just carried out a rather laborious punishment.

He handed the white cloth to his subordinates on the side, and when he saw Nangong, he didn't see any surprises, and said, "Why are you here?" ”

"What? Can't come and see you? Nangong wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but when he saw his slightly disgusted expression, he rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

"What? Like me here? Would you like to give it a try? The seventh master looked at him and raised his eyebrows.

Looking at Nangong's expression of admiration and insensitivity, there was a smile on the corner of his lips: "If there is something, let's talk about it." ”

"I'll just get straight to the point! I'm here for business. I heard, Su Qiuniang is here with you? ”

"Hmm." Nangong is the head of intelligence in the East Palace, and he is also one of the most trusted people of the prince, so it is not surprising to know about Su Qiuniang.

"Did you have the means?"

"I just arrived yesterday, and I'm going to go over and have a look today." Speaking of the punishment, there was finally a glimmer of brilliance in the eyes of the seventh master.

Nangong couldn't help but say: "Seventh Master, can you be a little more restrained, I know you are excited, but can you not be so obvious!" ”

The Seventh Master shook a warning look.

Nangong hurriedly shrank his head: "No, no, I'll just say that, you continue to be excited!" ”

Nangong cleared his throat and continued: "Seventh Master, it's not me who spoils your interest, Su Qiuniang, you can't move for the time being!" ”

Seeing the slightly surprised expression of the Seventh Master, Nangong said solemnly: "Su Qiuniang, this person is still useful for the time being!" ”

"That's right! Shengshang and Li Zhaoyi are coming back soon, and the queen is afraid that there will be a move, and we still want to use Su Qiuniang. This, Seventh Master, it's not convenient for me to say the specifics, anyway, you just need to know. ”

The Seventh Master was slightly confused. He is in charge of the torture hall, and naturally he doesn't know as well as Nangong about the affairs in the court: "Why didn't His Highness say it when he sent someone to send it yesterday?" ”

"This Su Qiuniang hurt Tang Niangzi! His Royal Highness is to Tang Niangzi, you know, so His Royal Highness hates this Su Qiuniang very much. Nangong sighed: "But as a subordinate of the East Palace, we should still consider the overall situation!" ”

The seventh master nodded imperceptibly, although he had never seen Tang Niangzi, but His Royal Highness had heard a lot of love for her, and what Nangong said was also reasonable.

Seeing his expression, Nangong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "But this matter has to be hidden from His Highness first!" You also know that His Highness is angry now, let's let His Highness be angry in his heart first, and when His Highness recovers when he turns around, he will naturally understand our intentions, right? ”

The seventh master glanced at Nangong, and Nangong felt a sigh in his heart.

"I see." The seventh master said lightly.

When Nangong came over in the afternoon, he looked at Xue Ke with an expectant expression, and said angrily: "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life!" ”

"Really?" Xue Ke smiled in surprise: "The adult is resourceful and smart, I know that the adult must have a way!" ”

Nangong felt sweet in his heart, but he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Come on, don't praise me, lady!" ”

While the two were touting each other, a scribe sent a letter.

Nangong unfolded it and looked at it, with a solemn face: "Lady, Shengshang and Li Zhaoyi are going back to the palace!" ”

Xue Kezheng wanted to say, "Isn't this a matter of time?" ”

Nangong continued: "Li Zhaoyi is happy! ”

This is indeed not good news.

Li Zhaoyi's hostility towards the crown prince is obvious to all. As the emperor's love for Li Zhaoyi became deeper and deeper, his dissatisfaction and vigilance against the prince slowly appeared.

Now that Li Zhaoyi is pregnant, her grace will only go to the next level.

Xue Ke fell into deep thought.

Then, the two looked at each other, which may be an opportunity.

Kunning Palace.

The queen looked coldly at the yellow letterhead in front of her, and said to Rong Ruo on the side: "I just found out that Youxi is coming, and the emperor is going to seal the concubine, if this is born, will he be a concubine?" If you want to give birth to a son, is it going to be a concubine? In two years, will you replace me, the queen of the middle palace? ”

Rong Ruo didn't dare to speak for a while.

The queen picked up the letterhead, and the yellow and dragon patterns used by the queen showed that it was the handwriting of the Ninety-Five Emperor, and she slammed the letterhead on the table with a "snap".

"!" Rong Ruo looked at the queen distressedly.

The queen's sorrow came from it: "Ah Ruo! What is the meaning of this palace's life? ”

"Don't be sad! Now that the prince is fighting outside, Niangniang has to take care of the phoenix body! ”

Thinking of King Qin, the queen sighed: "I don't know what happened to Que'er?" Since he went to Zhedong, Bengong has not slept well for a day. ”

"! The prince is deeply blessed, and he will definitely return triumphantly! ”

"Recently, things have not gone well, Yuyiwei has suffered heavy losses, and the prince has cut off a lot of the wealth of those sons and nephews of his mother's family in this palace regardless of his mother's affection, not to mention Shanxi."

The queen had a headache when she thought about it: "Now there is another concubine!" This palace can't even live in peace with the world of this harem. ”

"This concubine is still the prince's person, and the mother endured it and came over."

The queen remembered Concubine Li's style, and her heart was angry for a while.

What made the queen even more angry was that when the emperor came back with Li Zhaoyi, he had already asked her to use the honor guard of the concubine, and the palace people who served her were already a "Li Concubine Niangniang".

The emperor is the ninety-five supreme, and it is natural to seal a concubine. It's just that the queen is in charge of the six palaces, and she has always been valued by the emperor, and the emperor and queen are deeply affectionate.

Since the emperor sent a letter to the queen in advance, how could he be relieved in advance, so naturally it hurt the queen's face and damaged the prestige of the middle palace.

And on the second day after she came back, Concubine Li was absent from the morning greeting the queen on the grounds that she was pregnant with a dragon child and should not move too much.

Naturally, there were other indignant concubines.

"! This is too unkind to take the mother in your eyes! If you are pregnant, you can't be so unpopular and flout the palace rules! ”

"Niangniang has always indulged her, but she has no gratitude, Niangniang must not be careless, raising tigers for trouble!"

"Yes! Empress! The emperor has always treated you with deep affection, but this time he really doesn't care about his mother! ”

Of course, the queen understood that none of these women who sat down were fuel-efficient lamps, and all of them were people who provoked, saw killing, sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and possessed eighteen kinds of martial arts, but she still couldn't help but be angry for a while.

With a gentle smile on her face, she said solemnly: "Sisters, you don't have to be like this, Concubine Li carefully serves the emperor, and now she is fortunate to have a dragon fetus, the emperor pampers her a little more, she is careful herself, it is all right, and this palace has told her many times." ”

She glanced at the concubines: "If your sisters can spread the branches for the emperor, this palace will treat them like this." If you have this strength, you might as well think more about how to serve the emperor. ”

Everyone's hearts were sour, since Concubine Li got the holy favor, where can they see the emperor, let alone any children! In this harem, how can anyone not want to conceive a child!

In Chang'en Palace, although Concubine Li is pregnant, her figure is not visible, but her body is fuller. She is gorgeously dressed, and her temperament is naturally noble, where is there still the shadow of the little palace maid in the past?

The close-fitting palace maid gently swept her cheeks with the carefully developed rouge just presented by the Internal Affairs Office, and her face looked even more peachy and delicate.

"! This rouge is really the top grade, and the mother is even more beautiful after applying it! When the emperor comes up today, he will be happy. ”

Concubine Li glanced at her with a smile, and saw that she was wearing a willow green summer palace dress, a white neck above the open neck, and a pink belt around her waist, which had a unique immature and fresh style.

So he sneered lightly: "Today you are dressed in chic." ”

The palace maid hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Niang Niang Mingjian!" The slave has no intention of clinging! The slave just wants to serve the mother wholeheartedly! ”

Several palace maids who appeared in Chang'en Palace have been replaced. The palace maids actually discussed it in private, presumably because Concubine Li was born from the palace maid, so she was particularly protective of the palace maid.

Concubine Li didn't send this palace maid, but just picked up a hairpin on the dresser and picked up her chin.

The cold metal tip of the hairpin gently slid across her cheek, and the little palace maid trembled, looking at her with tears in her eyes, not daring to beg for mercy.

"Hmmm! It's a bit of a gesture! Concubine Li glanced at the corner of her mouth on one side, and then lowered the hairpin, slashing her neck and skirt, and the palace maid's heart rose to her throat and eyes, and she didn't dare to breathe.

"I just don't know if your heart is really towards this palace?" Concubine Li tapped the position of her heart with a hairpin.

"Niang Niang Mingjian! The slave is willing to smear the liver and brain of the mother. ”

"That's it!" Concubine Li pointed to the big red feather coat hanging next to her: "This dress will be rewarded to you." Come and serve tonight in your clothes. ”

The little palace maid glanced up, and quickly lowered her head. A heart was both happy and frightened, and he crawled on the ground nervously: "Niangniang! Slave __"

Concubine Li stopped her words and handed her the hairpin. The palace maid stood up tremblingly and pinned the hairpin to Concubine Li's hair.

Li Concubine looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a peerless style. She smiled with satisfaction.

She is different from Hua Concubine. Hua Concubine is more beautiful than her, stronger than her, and more infatuated than her. Hua Concubine's heart is on Mo Chen, a character like Childe, why isn't she?

It's just that she is more realistic than her, more restrained than her, and more aware of people's hearts than her. Childe didn't have them in his eyes, and she understood. After the son left, Concubine Hua was martyred, she could understand but didn't want to do it.
