Chapter 97: Concubine Xie's Temptation
,
Concubine Xie Shu became suspicious, Xie Qing instantly restrained her emotions, and then raised her head unhurriedly.
"Niangniang, Qing'er is out of order, please don't blame Niangniang."
Concubine Xie Shufei frowned slightly, from Xie Qing's expression, movements, and language, she was not happy, angry, sad, or happy, her bright eyes were like a calm lake, and there were no waves.
"Qing'er, you have always been calm and self-controlled, why did you lose your honor as soon as you heard that Yun Shizi was seriously ill?" Concubine Xie Shufei is a woman, she has a woman's intuition, and her intuition tells her that the relationship between Xie Qing and Yunjin is not ordinary.
Xie Qing is too smart, so clever that Concubine Xie Shufei is almost uncontrollable, and this feeling has always been hidden in Concubine Xie's heart. It's just that everything Xie Qing did echoed her needs, so she endured it, but today's performance made the doubts in her heart deeper.
Who is Yunjin? The prince of Zhennan, a man who seems to be outside the court, but has a mysterious influence. Xie Qing is also an eccentric person, and there is some kind of connection between two eccentric people, which makes Concubine Xie Shu feel very bad, and the combination of two people who can't figure it out will be even more powerful. And Xie Shufei didn't want such a thing to happen.
"Back to Niangniang, Qing'er just thinks that Yun Shizi is far away from the court and has not been out of the house for many years, why is he seriously ill, but how does Your Majesty care? Qing'er was really surprised. Xie Qing's expression did not show any panic.
Concubine Xie Shu looked at Xie Qing and said slowly: "Yun Shizi's mother is the distant niece of the Queen Mother, and she went early, so the Queen Mother has a lot of pity for Yun Shizi, so it is not surprising that Your Majesty attaches importance to him because of this." ”
Xie Qing thought for a while and chuckled: "It's not surprising to think about it, Your Majesty is an interesting person, and for certain people, he is always unusually kind." ”
As for this specific person, doesn't it mean Concubine Ye De. Concubine Ye De's words and deeds are indeed not on the stage many times, but she can't stand His Majesty's liking, and she has been defended many times.
In the same way, maybe Your Majesty is the same with Yunjin.
Concubine Xie Shu's face changed slightly, and she said coldly: "What do you do with that slut!" ”
After a moment of silence, Concubine Xie Shu said again: "Yun Shizi is sick, Qing'er, should you visit this palace?" ”
Of course, Xie Qing understood Concubine Xie Shufei's intentions, and she was still testing her.
shook his head and said, "Mother, no." ”
Concubine Xie raised her eyebrows slightly: "Oh? ”
No matter whether Xie Qing said to go or not, if there was no reasonable explanation, Concubine Xie Shufei's suspicions would not disappear.
Xie Qing sighed lightly and said, "Niangniang, you are in a hurry." The Zhennan Wangfu has a very deep foundation, although Miss Yun has been promised to King Zhao, it can't be said that she can't be won over at all, but don't forget, Niangniang, this is the palace, you have to fight the news that Yun Shizi is seriously ill so soon, Your Majesty will inevitably think about it. You are favored right now, but don't forget that the higher you are, the more careful you have to be. ”
The rhetoric is reasonable, and Concubine Xie can't find any fault.
Concubine Xie Shu smiled and said, "Qing'er, you are so smart, if the opponent of this palace is you, I am afraid that this palace will die under your hands long ago." ”
Xie Qing's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he said: "Niangniang's words should be withdrawn, Qing'er can't stand it." ”
If ordinary people heard Concubine Xie speak like this, they would have forgotten to kneel on the ground and expressed their loyalty again and again, but Xie Qing was not like this, she was neither humble nor arrogant, but made Concubine Xie have nothing to say.
"Okay, let's just assume that Hongu didn't say that." Concubine Xie Shu's tone was quite helpless.
This Xie Qing is just right in everything he says and does, not flattering or groveling, but he is not rude, so that people can't find any mistakes. From the bottom of her heart, Concubine Xie doesn't like such people, but Xie Qing's ability is there, and Concubine Xie is reluctant to give up.
"Qing'er, you are the niece of the palace, the daughter of the Xie family, the palace and the Xie family are one, if you can help the palace realize your wishes, the palace will naturally not treat you badly, but if you betray the palace, you should know what the end is." Concubine Xie's eyes were full of warnings. Although Xie Qing is smart, she is just a powerless little girl in the end, and Concubine Xie Shu can pinch her to death at any time.
Of course, Xie Qing knew what Concubine Xie Shu meant, and immediately bowed to Concubine Xie Shu, and said, "Please rest assured, Qing'er understands." Without Niangniang, Qing'er is nothing. ”
If there was no Concubine Xie Shu, she might not even be able to enter the palace, and she would not be the daughter of Li Mu, the prime minister who leaned towards the government and the opposition. Concubine Xie was her chosen ally, so it would not hurt to say a few words of loyalty to her.
Concubine Xie Shufei laughed loudly: "The second brother went early, and the poor second sister-in-law in this palace is the only daughter you can rely on. ”
Use the Lin clan to threaten Xie Qing. Xie Qing naturally saw it clearly, and a trace of coldness quickly flashed in his eyes.
Xie Qing lowered his eyes and replied, "Thank you for the reminder." ”
Looking at Xie Qing's reaction, Concubine Xie Shu knew in her heart that sure enough, the Lin family was Xie Qing's weakness. She just had an idea, and suddenly remembered that Xie Qing was a person from the second room, Xie Erye was gone, and Xie Qing's sense of existence in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion was extremely low, but she still had a mother, and the Lin family raised her since she was a child, if she was not a big rebel, she would never be able to ignore the Lin family.
Concubine Xie Shu finally found a way to pinch Xie Qing, her face instantly improved, and she didn't say anything more. And Xie Qing ate in a proper manner, and after finishing it, he got up and said goodbye and went back to the room as usual.
As soon as he returned to the room, Xiao Ben couldn't help it, and pouted, "What does that mean?" Do you threaten Mademoiselle with Madame? She's too much, Miss helped her so much, she didn't know how to thank Miss, and threatened Miss in turn! ”
Even Xiao Wan was angry, let alone Xie Qing.
The Lin family is her mother, and she is also the person she wants to protect, now she and Concubine Xie Shufei have no conflict of interest, Concubine Xie dares to use the Lin family to pinch her, not to mention that if there is a conflict in the future, wouldn't Concubine Xie be the first to take the Lin family.
Xie Qing's face was slightly gloomy: "Concubine Shu Niangniang is really a woman in the palace, I think of her too well." A woman who can keep up with Empress Chen, who has a rich family background, and Concubine Ye De, who favors the harem, where is the mind so simple, I ignored it. ”
She chose Concubine Xie Shu as an ally, as long as she supported Concubine Xie, she could suppress Zhao Tianlin, but she ignored that Concubine Xie herself was not a good stubble.
Xiaowan cautiously asked, "Then Miss, do we still want to continue to help her?" ”
Now it's just the beginning, Concubine Xie Shufei is thinking about taking advantage of Xie Qing, if she continues, won't she be restricted everywhere. Xiaowan thought that her young lady couldn't look at Concubine Xie Shu's face, they were just cooperating, and Miss was not Concubine Xie's subordinate, so why should she be at her mercy.
Xie Qing said in a deep voice: "Of course you have to continue, through Concubine Xie Shu's hand is the fastest way to suppress King Zhao, but I, Xie Qing, am not at her mercy." ”
Xiaowan nodded: "What is the young lady going to do?" "Yes, you can't let Concubine Xie Shu be a demon, they are not Concubine Xie's subordinates.
Xie Qing fell into deep thought, his fingers tapped the table rhythmically, and after a while, he stopped tapping and ordered: "Xiaowan, let's not do anything recently, I have already told her that she wants to form an alliance with Empress Chen, then come by herself, I won't do it for the time being." ”
Queen Chen has no children, but she can sit firmly in the main palace, where is the ordinary person. It is not easy for Concubine Xie Shufei to achieve an alliance with Empress Chen.
Xiaowan frowned slightly, and said, "Then what if Concubine Xie really succeeds?" ”
Concubine Xie Shufei is also a person with real skills in the end, and it is not impossible to succeed.
"It's good to form an alliance with Empress Chen, but everything has advantages and disadvantages, even if she succeeds, then she will instantly arouse the suspicion of Emperor Yongqing. Empress Chen's father, Chen Guogong, is the master of the northwest, and his power is extremely huge, Empress Chen herself is also the queen of the main palace, and her name is justified, if Concubine Xie Shufei and Empress Chen form an alliance, then King Yi will become half a prince, Emperor Yongqing is in the prime of life, if he sees the prince jumping at the bottom, can he rest assured? ”
Xie Qing smiled coldly, she was glad that she didn't tell all the plans and plans, otherwise she would soon have no use value for Concubine Xie Shu.
It is not so much cooperation between them as it is about using each other and taking what they need, but Concubine Xie Shu doesn't seem to realize this, and it is necessary for Xie Qing to take this opportunity to remind Concubine Xie that it is too much.
Xiao Wan didn't understand, scratched his head, and asked, "Miss, since you know that there are drawbacks in this matter, why do you still give Concubine Shu this idea?" Miss, you didn't want to test her in the first place, did you? ”
"What do you think? I'm not going to test her. Xie Qing said lightly, "What she wants has nothing to do with me, as long as she doesn't become a stumbling block to my revenge, I won't pay attention to her intentions." She doesn't believe in my sincerity, so I can't help it. This method is a good method, but it has some negative effects, but as long as it is grasped well, there will be no major problems, but I will not think about it from her point of view, as long as it is beneficial to us, I will do it. ”
Xie Qing and Concubine Xie Shufei formed an alliance, originally with their own sincerity, these days she has made the Ye family ugly, teaching Concubine De and Zhao Tianlin a lesson, firstly, to vent her anger for herself and the Li family, and secondly, to make Concubine Xie believe in her sincerity, but now it seems that Concubine Xie is not a person worth believing.
So it was necessary for her to let Concubine Xie Shu fall.
However, Yunjin's illness ......
Xie Qing rubbed his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and said, "Xiaowan, bring your clothes." ”
Xiao Wan's eyes widened, "Miss, are you going to see Yun Shizi?" Her eyes were full of consideration, Xie Qing lost her temper as soon as she heard the news that Yun Jin was seriously ill, and now she wanted to see him, and she couldn't hide this affection.
Xie Qing's tone was quite helpless: "He is seriously ill because of me, he is kind to me, I said that I want to cure his illness, I must go and see." ”
