Chapter 249: You're Really Hopeless (Second Update)
Poisoned?
Ye Chengxuan was shocked.
Concubine Xu smiled bitterly: "She will give me the antidote regularly every month, if I don't take the antidote, I will definitely die." β
"And who the hell is she?" Ye Chengxuan asked again, although Xie Rongsang was still good at using poison, which was beyond his expectations, but what he wanted to know more was whether Xie Rongsang was Xie Qing's biological mother.
Concubine Xu shook her head: "I don't know, I once inquired quietly, but I didn't inquire about anything, but she seems to have some relationship with the Xie family." β
"Ye Gongzi, that's all I know, if you want to get the talisman, she must know that I betrayed her, she will definitely not let me go, it's okay if I die, but she has to live well."
As she spoke, Concubine Xu curtsied at Ye Chengxuan, "I just ask you to treat Su'er well, I'm afraid my time is running out, and I also ask Ye Gongzi to say a few kind words to Concubine De's mother, and let Su'er marry King Zhao before I die." β
Once Concubine Xu is dead, then Yun Zhixu will inevitably have to keep filial piety, keep filial piety for three years, there are too many accidents, and it will be very questionable whether Yun Zhixu can marry Zhao Tianlin.
Ye Chengxuan raised his eyes and looked at Concubine Xu: "It seems that you have already had the idea of dying." β
"I'm sure I'm not going to live." The corners of Concubine Xu's eyes were slightly moist.
Who is not afraid of death, but she has no choice, she will definitely die.
Ye Chengxuan's eyes condensed slightly: "You don't have to worry about Miss Yun, right?" As soon as King Zhao returns to Beijing, I can let him marry Miss Yun, but you have to do one thing for me. β
"What's the matter?" Concubine Xu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and hurriedly asked.
"Whether you died from Xie Rongsang's poison or something else, you have to insist that Yun Jin killed you." A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Ye Chengxuan's eyes.
Concubine Xu frowned slightly: "Do you want Yun Jin to be charged with murder?" But Yunjin is the prince of Zhennan, and the queen mother supports him, even if he kills me, he won't have anything to do? β
A favored prince of the royal family, killing a person is like stepping on an ant, and he will never bring trouble to himself.
"You don't have to worry about that, as long as you do it." The corners of Ye Chengxuan's lips hooked slightly, as long as he caught Yun Jin's handle, then he had his own way to make this matter not good.
Concubine Xu gritted her teeth: "Okay, this is not a difficult matter, if you can exchange my life for the safety of Xu'er, why not." β
She's going to die anyway, and she's not going to lose.
β¦β¦
When Concubine Xu came out of the hall, she saw Mama Yun standing at the door with her back straight, and her face suddenly turned pale, and Yun Jin deliberately sent Mama Yun to monitor her.
"Let's go, it's time to go to the feast."
Mama Yun said lightly: "Yes." The attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and Concubine Xu is very unhappy.
This displeasure made Concubine Xu couldn't help but say: "Mama Yun, I am the prince's side concubine and your master." β
Yun Mama replied: "Of course, the slave understands that as long as the side concubine is a side concubine for one day, she is the master." β
In other words, as long as she is not a concubine of the palace, then she can no longer say that she is the master. The palace is now Yun Jin's house, as long as he says a word, Concubine Xu can be expelled from the palace immediately, and the letter of resignation left by King Zhennan before his death can make Yun Jin justifiably drive Concubine Xu out.
"You ......" Concubine Xu was dumbfounded, she was speechless.
In the heart of King Zhennan, she has never had a status, and King Zhennan only thinks of her as an old mother who takes care of Yunjin.
β¦β¦
The palace banquet was arranged in the Qiuliang Palace, and when Concubine Xu arrived, Yun Jin and Xie Qing were already sitting in their positions.
Xie Qing came as the lord of Jiamin, she was the only one, and the queen mother also specially arranged Xie Qing's position next to Yunjin, so that she could take care of Yunjin.
"Why is Concubine Xu here?" When Xie Qing saw Concubine Xu, she was a little surprised.
At the palace banquet, you can generally bring a concubine to attend, but the concubine rarely attends, and the queen mother hates Concubine Xu, and there will be no Concubine Xu at the palace banquet. It's a strange day.
Yun Jin replied: "It's a post specially sent by Concubine De, naming Concubine Xu to participate in the palace banquet." β
Xie Qing raised her eyebrows slightly: "It seems that Concubine De really wants Yun Zhixu to marry into the Zhao Mansion as soon as possible." β
"Concubine De summoned Concubine Xu for the reason she used to marry her children." Yun Jin chuckled, in fact, who wanted to see Concubine Xu, he couldn't be clearer in his heart.
Xie Qing raised his eyebrows and smiled, thinking with his toes what Yun Jin was calculating.
On the bright side, Xie Qing still got up and bowed to Concubine Xu: "Xie Qing has seen Concubine Xu. β
She is the county lord and Yun Jin's fiancΓ©e, so she should give Concubine Xu a half-salute, this is etiquette, and Xie Qing will not be rude.
However, Concubine Xu's gaze at Xie Qing was not so friendly, Xie Qing made Yun Zhixu make a fool of herself, and Yun Zhixu informed Concubine Xu about these things.
Concubine Xu was even more annoyed in her heart, she felt that she had always been good before, but since Yun Jin fell in love with Xie Qing, Yun Jin's attitude towards Yun Zhixu had changed, and Concubine Xu directly attributed the contradiction between Yun Zhixu and Yun Jin to Xie Qing.
"Lord Jiamin." Concubine Xu replied with a half-salute, and when she caught a glimpse of Xie Qing's seat next to Yunjin, she immediately raised her voice and said, "The county lord and the prince are inseparable, and they can't be separated for a while." β
Xie Qing and Yun Jin are not married in the end, and it stands to reason that the two who are not married should not meet from time to time. Suddenly, from time to time, someone looked at Xie Qing's gaze, and his eyes changed a little.
Unmarried couples, but they are tired of being together all day long, what is this like?
The people below whispered, and inadvertently some words naturally fell into the ears of the parties.
The corners of Concubine Xu's eyebrows raised slightly, what she wanted was such an effect, who asked Xie Qing to bully her daughter.
However, Xie Qing just smiled faintly and said: "Let the side concubine make a joke, Xie Qing is the first time to participate in the palace banquet, and it is inevitable that he is a little unfamiliar, so he can only let Yun Shizi take care of it more, and it is not as good as the side concubine is a frequent guest in this palace banquet." β
Xie Qing came to the palace banquet for the first time, but Concubine Xu was the same, because she was not qualified to participate in the palace banquet before.
Among them, the fast-talking lady hurriedly took over: "The county lord has thought about it, and the concubine is also coming to the palace for the first time." β
Madame couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, the prince of Zhennan did not attend the palace banquet because of his health, if this happened in other mansions, it would be understandable for Concubine Xu to attend the palace banquet on behalf of the palace. But the Empress Dowager didn't like Concubine Xu and ordered her not to come. Concubine Xu has been like a joke for many years.
"Oh? Why is that? Xie Qing pretended not to know and asked, "The prince doesn't like to attend such an occasion, why doesn't the concubine like it either?" β
"Whether the side concubine likes it or not, I really don't know about this, but the queen mother doesn't like it very much." The lady chuckled.
Concubine Xu immediately blushed, she couldn't wait to find a hole to get into.
"Mrs. Du, although I am a side concubine, you don't have to humiliate me like this, no matter how I am, I am also the side concubine of King Zhennan." Concubine Xu's eyes were slightly moist.
Today is really not smooth, first Concubine Ye De gave her a dismissal, and then she was threatened by Ye Chengxuan, and now she is insulted like this.
"Where did you start with Concubine Niangniang's words, I just stated the facts, and I never meant to insult Concubine Niangniang, county lord, you also heard it." Mrs. Du said very innocently.
Xie Qing smiled faintly: "Concubine Niangniang, your words are serious." β
I have to say that Ning Anhou's wife is really a person who is extremely good at words.
This Mrs. Du is none other than the wife of the Queen Mother's mother, Marquis Du of the Marquis of Ning'an's Mansion. There are no promising juniors in the Ning'an Hou Mansion, all of them are supported by the Queen Mother, who the Queen Mother likes, Mrs. Du will naturally stand on whose side, and for the people that the Queen Mother dislikes, Mrs. Du will naturally not give her a good look.
"It's still the county lord who is reasonable." Mrs. Du smiled and walked away.
The concubine of the king of Zhennan? Hehe, who doesn't know, her existence is a joke, and she takes herself seriously......
Concubine Xu looked at Xie Qing coldly, Yun Jin took Yun Zhixu's matter and pressed her, but what about Xie Qing? This woman hasn't married into the palace yet, why is she!
"Xie Qing, don't go too far!" Concubine Xu said coldly.
Yun Jin raised her eyes and glanced at Concubine Xu, her cold gaze made Concubine Xu's heart skip a beat, her fingers were clenched tightly, and she secretly told herself in her heart that she was a person with chips, and Yun Jin would not move her easily.
Only then did he grit his teeth and said to Yunjin: "Jin'er, this is the palace, so many pairs of eyes are watching, I am not only your concubine, but also your own aunt, don't you care about it at all, do you have to force me to death on the spot before you are willing?" β
Ye Chengxuan's words gave Concubine Xu a new idea, if she died, and she died in the hands of Yun Jin, then Yun Jin would cause a fishy sound no matter how she was, and she couldn't wash it off.
Xie Qing smiled at Yunjin: "Let me come." It just so happens that I haven't talked to the side concubine yet. β
Yun Zhixu's biological mother, it is very strange to say, she and Yun Zhixu have been friends for many years, but she rarely sees Concubine Xu, and the number of times she meets is counted on one hand.
She will definitely not spare Yun Zhixu, but Concubine Xu...... Xie Qing has always been a person with clear grievances, if Concubine Xu had not participated in that incident, she would not have had to be ruthless to Concubine Xu.
"Concubine Niangniang, Xie Qing sincerely advises you to think twice before doing anything." Xie Qing had a decent smile on his face, his tone was calm, without the slightest hint of sarcasm, purely advice.
However, some advice is not acceptable to the ear.
Concubine Xu bit her lip and said in a cold voice, "What do you mean!" Are you saying I don't have a brain? β
She hates Xie Qing, so whatever she says will automatically be converted into a derogatory meaning when it falls in her ears.
Xie Qing shook his head: "Concubine Fang is wrong, I haven't found any grievances between me and Concubine Fang, Xie Qing is really persuading Concubine Fang to think clearly, for so many years, Yun Jin has treated you badly?" β
