"Lingzhi, do you know anything? Who wants to kill Qing'er? You tell me......" Lin said as he tugged at Lingzhi's shoulders and cried.

"Madam, calm down, you let go of the slave first, and listen to the slave and the maid slowly tell you." Lingzhi hurriedly said.

Xiaowan also persuaded: "Madam, you have to be quiet, otherwise there will be trouble if you are heard." ”

Under the persuasion of the two, Lin slowly calmed down and said, "Lingzhi, what's going on?" Who is going to kill Qing'er? Tell me everything you know. ”

Lingzhi looked at Xiao Wan, and then said: "Madam, Xiao Wan just secretly heard the eldest young master say that those assassins seemed to be going for our young lady at that time, and the slave maid thought about it carefully, the target of those people's assassination seemed to be really young lady, and they looked at the number of methods, like secret guards." ”

"Dark Guard?" Lin muttered, "Who sent the secret guard to kill Qing'er?" ”

Lingzhi shook his head: "This slave doesn't know. ”

Xiaowan saw that Lin's face was not good, and persuaded him: "Madam, you have to take care of your body, otherwise Miss will come back and see you like this, and she will be sad." ”

Lin touched her cheek, and in just a few days, she was emaciated again.

sighed lightly: "But where is Qing'er now?" I don't even know if she's still alive......" At the thought of Xie Qing being dead, tears couldn't help but fall down. Lin felt that his eyes were about to cry blind.

Xiaowan's mouth opened slightly, she wanted to say that Miss was still alive, but Lingzhi shook her head at her, now is not the time to say this, otherwise it may ruin Miss's affairs. In desperation, Xiao Wan could only close his mouth.

"Madam, Miss must be fine." Lingzhi persuaded, "Madam, you know, Miss is smart, and she can turn evil into good fortune every time, she must be fine." ”

Lin said with tears in his eyes: "But this time she was assassinated, she is a weak woman." ”

"Madame, the slave maid heard one more thing." Xiao Wan hurriedly said, "The eldest young master and the old lady said that they wanted to separate the second room, and it seems that the old lady has agreed." ”

Lin's face froze: "Right now, Qing'er's life and death are uncertain, they actually want to drive me out of the Xie family?" ”

Earlier, the Lin family wished that they could leave the Hou Mansion and live a quiet life from now on, but now that her daughter is missing, they don't know if she is dead or alive, and the Xie family actually wants to drive her out of the Hou Mansion, which is too unkind!

Lingzhi glared at Xiao Wan, what are you talking about with Madame, Xiao Wan lowered her head, she originally wanted to say something else to divert Lin's attention and let her not be sad about Xie Qing's disappearance, who would have thought that what she said would make Lin sad.

"Madam, anyway, the Xie family treats us badly, and if we move away, no one will hurt Miss in the future." Lingzhi hurriedly persuaded.

Lin squeezed the embroidered handkerchief in his hand......

Yaohua Palace

When Mama Wang entered Yaohua Palace, Zhao Tianyi was also there. Mama Wang followed Mrs. Xie's instructions and said the matter again, "Niangniang, the old lady said that you think this matter is appropriate?" ”

"Mother concubine......" Zhao Tianyi hurriedly said.

However, before he finished speaking, he saw Concubine Xie Shufei waving her hand and said, "This palace knows, Mo Lan, take Mama Wang down for a cup of tea." ”

"Thank you, mother." Mama Wang saluted and retired.

Only Concubine Xie Shu and Zhao Tianyi were left in the palace.

"Mother, what do you want to say to your son?" Zhao Tianyi asked. Concubine Xie swept away everyone, but left him behind, she must have something to say to him.

Concubine Xie Shufei poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Yi'er, is it your idea?" ”

Zhao Tianyi was stunned for a moment, and said: "Erchen thinks that Xie Qing can't be used, she is not controlled by us at all, she acts perversely, and does her own thing, Erchen knows that the concubine likes her cleverness, and Erchen also admits that she is indeed a superior skill in calculating people, and others can't reach it, but no matter how smart a person is, if she can't control it, it's useless, it's better to abandon it." ”

People who are too smart, but can't control it, this feeling is like a beautiful thing, but it doesn't belong to you, and it makes people jealous.

Zhao Tianyi carefully observed Concubine Xie Shufei's face, for the sake of Xie Qing, he had already quarreled with Concubine Xie Shu several times, and will there be a quarrel this time? Zhao Tianyi couldn't figure it out.

In fact, Zhao Tianyi was wrong from beginning to end, and Concubine Xie accused him of criticizing him, never because of Xie Qing, but because of Xie Ru. Zhao Tianyi is the son of Concubine Xie Shu, and she doesn't want her son to be instructed by another woman, even if this woman is Xie Ru who she brought up.

But unfortunately, Zhao Tianyi will never understand this. Because Zhao Tianyi is an extremely selfish person, he will always think from his own thinking.

"If you want to abandon her, it should also be killed, not expelled from the Xie family."

Concubine Xie's words shocked Zhao Tianyi.

"Mother, what do you mean...... Kill Xie Qing? Zhao Tianyi's eyes widened. Did you kill Xie Qing? This is obviously much better than expelling her from the Xie family, and it can also help Ru'er take revenge.

Concubine Xie glanced at him: "You just want to kill her like this, even if she can become a bargaining chip for your superiority?" ”

Zhao Tianyi thought for a while, and Zhengse said: "Since she eats chips, she must be controlled by me." ”

"Mother, if it weren't for Xie Qing's action to stop her, the heir would not have been hated by Princess Lin'an and Queen Chen, and the mother concubine would not have been subjected to Queen Chen's cold words in the past few days."

Concubine Xie Shu's face sank, Xie Qing asked Princess Lin'an to go out to the lake, but she was assassinated, for this matter, Concubine Xie Shufei could only go to Kunning Palace in person to ask for guilt, but Queen Chen didn't give her face at all, and actually asked her to kneel, and she didn't have a good tone towards her.

In the past, although Empress Chen was the queen of the main palace, Concubine Xie Shufei was the emperor's favorite concubine, and her position was high, and Empress Chen did not dare to have such an attitude towards Concubine Xie Shu, but now even Queen Chen punished her in public, making her lose face, and she couldn't complain to His Majesty, so she could only endure it, and Concubine Xie Shufei remembered how not to be angry.

Zhao Tianyi had been observing Concubine Xie Shu's face, and when he saw Concubine Xie Shufei's gloomy face, he knew that Concubine Xie Shu was angry about this, and hurriedly continued: "Mother, it was Xie Qing who caused all this, and the mother concubine originally wanted her to help her inherit the heir to marry Princess Lin'an, but what happened?" The Xie family, the mother concubine, and even the sons and daughters also lost face and were punished! The sons and daughters have to suspect that this is Xie Qing's intention, she will take revenge, the Xie family was negligent to her in the past, so she is deliberately taking revenge now. ”

"Enough!" Concubine Xie Shufei put down the teacup abruptly, and the water in the cup shook out a little.

"Don't think that Hongu doesn't know what you're thinking!" Concubine Xie Shu said coldly, "Cheng Hei actually took advantage of someone's assassination and wanted to fish in troubled waters, you don't want to think about it, if Cheng Hei really ruined Princess Lin'an's reputation, what would Empress Chen think, what would Your Majesty think, what would the courtiers think?" ”

The corners of Zhao Tianyi's lips pursed tightly.

But I heard Concubine Xie Shu say: "They will think that the assassination was arranged by the heir, or even by you, to save the beauty of a hero, so that they can take the opportunity to marry Princess Lin'an." ”

Concubine Xie couldn't help but rub her eyebrows: "Right now, Empress Chen already thinks that Princess Lin'an's assassination was done by the Xie family!" If it weren't for the fact that the girl of the Xie family fell into the water and disappeared in order to save Princess Lin'an, and her life and death were uncertain, the rumors that the Xie family used despicable and shameless means to forcibly marry Princess Lin'an would soon spread all over the capital. ”

Zhao Tianyi was dumbfounded, he hadn't thought about it at this level.

"Mother, it's the son's negligence." Zhao Tianyi lowered his eyes and said.

In fact, only he knows that it was not his negligence, it was Xie Ru's negligence, and this idea was originally Xie Ru's idea.

But he didn't dare to say it, if he did, he was afraid that it would make Concubine Xie Shu hate Xie Ru.

Concubine Xie Shufei patted her son on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Yi'er, you are still young, and you still need to learn a lot." ”

Zhao Tianyi is reckless and irritable, although he also has some talent, but he is inexperienced, and he is a little inconsiderate in everything.

Although compared with other princes, Zhao Tianyi is already one of the best, but this is far from enough.

Concubine Xie Shu was a little regretful, this son still needs more experience, and when she thought of Xie Qinglai, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "In this regard, no one can compare to Xie Qing." ”

Zhao Tianyi lowered his eyes and was silent, admitting that he couldn't compare to a woman, and he was also a woman he hated, he didn't seem to be able to do it.

"Yi'er, the mother concubine originally wanted Xie Qing to be your advisor, give you advice, and help you get to that position, but you are at odds with Xie Qing, so it's good not to be an enemy." Concubine Xie couldn't help but sigh.

"Mother, it was the son-in-law who disappointed the mother." Zhao Tianyi admitted his mistake quite quickly this time. If he had known that Xie Qing was just a strategist, he wouldn't have to worry that Xie Qing would have taken Xie Ru's position.

Concubine Xie Shu sighed lightly: "That's it, the first is to be smart, and the second is to be loyal, if it is an unfaithful strategist, don't do it." ”

"That's what the mother said." Zhao Tianyi replied respectfully, "What does the concubine mean?" ”

"Since this person can't be used, then she must not fall into the hands of others and kill!" A trace of coldness flashed in Concubine Xie's eyes.

Zhao Tianyi's heart jumped: "Mother, are you going to kill her?" ”

Concubine Xie Shu nodded and said, "Yes, Bengong originally thought that she still had use value, but now that she is not under control, there is no need to stay, send someone to find it, it is naturally good to find the body, if the person is still alive, kill her!" ”

"Yes, mother, my son-in-law will order to go down." The corners of Zhao Tianyi's lips hooked up with a smile. Xie Qing, you're dead!

"Wait......" Concubine Xie Shu stopped Zhao Tianyi and said, "Remember to deal with it and bring the body back, she was killed by the assassin." ”

Zhao Tianyi nodded.

The corners of Concubine Xie Shu's lips lifted lightly, and she smiled: "Even if she is dead, she will do the last thing for this palace." The girl of the Xie family died in order to save Princess Lin'an, and the Xie family was a bitter master. ”

Even if the person is dead, Concubine Xie Shufei has to squeeze out the last bit of her use value......
