Xu Qingyan rubbed the teacup in his hand and said thoughtfully: "Of course He Guifei is not simple, if it weren't for the fact that Brother Xiu's favorite person is the palace, the current queen of Beirong is He Guifei's." ”

"Niangniang, now that you are the queen, the slave maid feels that He Guifei must be unwilling." Xia Chan frowned when she said, "He Guifei is unwilling, but she is respectful to you everywhere, as far as today's matter is concerned, it is obvious that He Shiyao did it herself, and it has nothing to do with He Guifei, but she said that she was unable to discipline her, Niangniang, do you say that He Guifei is playing with something?" ”

Xia Chan always felt that He Guifei had a purpose.

"What kind of idea Concubine He is making, the palace can't guess it for a while." Xu Qingyan put down the teacup in his hand, propped his head, looked out the window, and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Xu Qingyan raised his head again, "This palace remembers that He Shiyao is the concubine of the He family, and He Guifei is the concubine. ”

Xia Chan nodded, "Yes." ”

Xu Qingyan instructed: "Xia Chan, you quietly go and inquire, how is the relationship between He Shiyao and He Guifei?" Especially before He Guifei got married. ”

"Okay, slave and maid, let's go." Xia Chan got the order, so he immediately went out to arrange to inquire about this matter.

Xu Qingyan was the only one left in the room, and she sighed lightly: "There are many women, there are many rights and wrongs, and the queen is really not good." ”

If she could, she would prefer a day without intrigue......

Xia Chan soon came to the news, the relationship between He Guifei and He Shiyao is not good, He Guifei is a young lady, and He Shiyao is a concubine, but unlike other concubines, He Shiyao's mother was born extremely beautiful, and she was very favored by Prime Minister He Cheng, and even Prime Minister He attached great importance to He Shiyao's daughter.

"It is said that when He Guifei first became a concubine, Prime Minister He thought that He Guifei was not pleased with His Majesty, so he intended to send He Shiyao to the palace, but was sternly rejected by He Guifei." Xia Chan frowned, "It's just this time, I don't know why, but Concubine He agreed." ”

Xu Qingyan thought about everything, "He Guifei probably wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman......"

Xia Chan reacted suddenly, "Could He Guifei be trying to let the queen mother fight with He Shiyao, and then she will benefit from it!" ”

"It's very likely." Xu Qingyan nodded.

"Oh, the slave understands, no wonder He Shiyao's twenty boards have been beaten before He Guifei appeared. It turned out that she just wanted He Shiyao to be beaten by the board. Xia Chan suddenly realized, she said, if He Guifei really wanted to save He Shiyao, she would have come out to intercede a long time ago.

Xu Qingyan groaned and said, "It would be good if it was just a board, this palace is worried that she wants to borrow this palace's hand to get rid of He Shiyao." ”

"Except for He Shiyao......" Xia Chan was shocked. Xu Qingyan's hands had not been stained with blood, and Xia Cicada was a little frightened for a while.

"Niangniang, let's not go to the troubled waters this time, you directly order He Shiyao to be driven out of the palace, and the affairs of their He family will be solved by themselves." Xia Chan proposed.

Xu Qingyan shook his head, "I'm afraid that this palace won't be able to drive away He Shiyao, He Shiyao entered the palace to accompany He Guifei, if this palace drives people away now, He Guifei will definitely beat him up." ”

"Xia Chan, I ordered someone to keep an eye on He Guifei, although this palace doesn't like He Shiyao, it doesn't mean that this palace wants to be a knife in someone else's hand." Xu Qingyan said.

"Yes, sissy." Xia Chan hurriedly nodded in response.

……

Although Concubine He's every move was under Xu Qingyan's control, she didn't notice anything abnormal, Concubine He was still the same as before, asking the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother on time, and sitting with the concubine from time to time to talk, what she said was just some homely things, and there was nothing wrong with it.

He Guifei didn't have a close relationship with anyone, and even He Shiyao settled down a lot. He Shiyao lay in Huaqing Palace for a few days at the beginning to recuperate from her injuries, and the wounds gradually healed, so she gradually began to go out and walk a few steps. Occasionally, Concubine He Guifei came to greet the Queen Mother and the Queen, and she would also bring He Shiyao, but every time He Shiyao saw Xu Qingyan, she lowered her head, as if she wanted to shrink herself to the ground, so that Xu Qingyan couldn't see her. Xu Qingyan sometimes glanced at He Shiyao a few more times, and He Guifei immediately stood up and explained that He Shiyao was timid, she knew that she was wrong, and asked the queen not to worry about her.

Xu Qingyan couldn't figure out what He Guifei wanted to do, but she could clearly sense that He Guifei must be planning something behind her back. But she disappeared and couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in He Guifei's gourd.

Xu knew that someone was secretly calculating himself, but he couldn't do it, Xu Qingyan always felt uncomfortable in his heart these days, and he was a little unhappy with his body.

On this day, Xu Qingyan really felt panicked, fidgeting, sometimes standing up, looking out the window, sometimes closing the window, and going back to bed to lie down, in short, he was not comfortable.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Xia Chan saw that her mother seemed to be wrong today.

Suddenly remembering that His Majesty said yesterday that he had an urgent matter to leave the palace and would not be able to come back until the day after tomorrow, Xia Chan covered his mouth and smiled, "Niangniang, do you miss Your Majesty?" ”

Xu Qingyan sat up, his mouth deflated, "I don't know this palace, so I feel uncomfortable in my heart, as if something is blocked in my heart and cannot be released." ”

Xia Chan poured tea and said with a smile: "According to the slave maid, you just miss Your Majesty, but if you don't see Your Majesty for a day, Niangniang will be lovesick." ”

Xia Chan respectfully handed over the tea, "Niangniang, you drink a cup of tea, this lovesickness is incurable, you can only comfort yourself, Your Majesty will be back soon." ”

Xu Qingyan took the teacup, took a sip, put the teacup down again, and frowned: "Xia Cicada, why is this tea tasteless today, it's not delicious." ”

"No taste......" Xia Chan was strange, "Niangniang, this is your favorite Longjing tea, or did you bring it from Dayue, don't you always drink this on weekdays?" ”

Xu Qingyan took another sip, but still had a bitter face, "It's not good, go and change it to something else." ”

Although Xia Cicada felt strange, she muttered Could it be that this tea is moldy? She took the teapot in her hand and sniffed it slightly, as if there was nothing wrong.

Although she didn't know what was wrong with this tea, since the queen didn't like it, she had to replace it, "The slave will go." ”

Xia Chan was about to push the door and leave with the tea, but she didn't want to walk to the door before she saw He Guifei walking in hurriedly, with an anxious look on her face.

"The queen mother, the concubine has an urgent matter to see the queen mother."

Xu Qingyan felt a little tired and was about to go to bed to lie down for a while, but he didn't want to hear He Guifei's voice suddenly.

"Please come in." Xu Qingyan waved his hand and commanded Xia Chan.

Xia Chan hurriedly put down the teapot in his hand and opened the door to welcome He Guifei in.

As soon as Concubine He entered the door, she knelt down directly towards Xu Qingyan, "Queen Mother, please help the concubine." ”

Xu Qingyan was taken aback by her, and hurriedly helped He Guifei up, "Guifei get up first, and say something slowly." ”

"Niangniang, Shi Yao is gone, and the concubine ordered someone to look for it for a long time but didn't find it." Beads of sweat appeared on He Guifei's anxious forehead.

"Don't worry, concubine, the palace is so big, Miss He won't lose it." Xu Qingyan comforted Concubine He, and then instructed Xia Chan, "Xia Chan, send someone to the palaces to ask if anyone has seen Miss He." ”

Xia Chan nodded in response, "Yes, Niangniang, the slave will go." ”

He Guifei looked anxious, "The concubine is out of order, please forgive the queen." ”

Xu Qingyan shook his head and smiled faintly: "It's okay." ”

"Shi Yao has been spoiled by her father since she was a child, she is always frizzy, speaks openly, and often makes trouble. Originally, her father sent her to the palace, so that she could talk to the palace more and relieve her boredom, she had always been with the concubines, but now she suddenly couldn't find it, the concubines have been looking for an hour, and they still can't find it. He Guifei sighed.

"Where was Miss He an hour ago? Does the concubine know? Xu Qingyan asked, it's impossible for a good living person to disappear.

He Guifei replied: "Shi Yao was originally in the Huaqing Palace to accompany the concubines to talk, and it happened that Han Zhaoyi came to play chess with the palace. In the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, Shi Yao didn't like to play chess the most, so she said that she was going to go to the imperial garden for a walk, and the concubine agreed at that time. But I didn't want to, the concubine finished playing chess with Han Zhaoyi, but she couldn't find Shi Yao. ”

"Miss He said that she went to the Imperial Garden, but she didn't find anyone in the Imperial Garden?"

Hearing this, Concubine He Guifei shook her head, "No, the concubine almost ordered someone to turn over the imperial garden, but she still didn't find it, so the concubine was in a hurry." ”

Xu Qingyan's eyebrows frowned slightly, "This is strange, how can it not be?" However, don't be too anxious, concubine, Miss Xu He went to which concubine's palace, so you didn't find it. ”

He Guifei clasped her hands together, "I hope so, but don't something happen." ”

"Something? What does the concubine mean by this? What could happen? Xu Qingyan keenly sensed that there was something in Concubine He's words.

"Niangniang, you have been in the palace for less than half a year, and you may not know about some old things in the palace." He Guifei leaned closer, lowered her voice and said, "More than ten years ago, when the first emperor was still there, one day a princess in the palace suddenly disappeared, the palace people searched for a long time, and after three days, they finally found the princess, but what they didn't want to find was the princess's body. The little princess died in a terrible state, her throat was cut, she bled and suffocated, and the murderer of the princess was never found, and the little princess's biological mother went crazy because of it. ”

Xu Qingyan's mind couldn't help but think of the tragic situation of the dead man, and suddenly a feeling of nausea rose in her heart, she hurriedly covered her chest, and her brows were almost twisted together......

"It's the concubine, shouldn't you mention these old things in the queen's mother." He Guifei hurriedly owed a debt to apologize.

"The concubine doesn't have to blame herself, this palace is just a little tired and unwell recently." Xu Qingyan waved his hand, looking light and light on his face, but his heart was turbulent......
