Chapter 244: The So-Called Truth
Concubine Li's gaze was meaningfully directed at Liu Er.
What about what was said at the beginning and not debunked? Sure enough, these masters, all crossed the river and demolished the bridge.
Liu Er felt more and more that her mother's character was much more noble, at least to them, she was true to her words.
Fortunately, Niangniang has already understood that they are only acting. Otherwise, Liu Er really didn't dare to imagine what would happen to her if the truth was revealed from the mouth of Niangniang's nemesis, Concubine Li?
Ah Jiu naturally wanted to pretend to be ignorant, while Liu Er looked panicked.
"What is Concubine Li looking at my maidservant like this?"
Concubine Li smiled a little deeply, a little gloating.
"The evidence is far away in the sky, close in front of you." She said in a false tone.
Ah Jiu pretended to look at her inexplicably, and after a while, he realized it, and then raised his lips and snorted coldly: "This kind of drama to sow discord is too uninnovative." ”
Concubine Li knew that she would definitely not believe it easily, and she was not in a hurry to say anything, but said: "Is it sowing discord, Concubine Xian will find out the truth after checking herself." ”
She smiled meaningfully, "The word is sharp, and the human heart is unpredictable." ”
Ah Jiu turned his face in disbelief and looked at Liu Er sternly.
Liu Er seemed to be a thief, and was shocked by her sharp eyes, and knelt down as soon as her knees became weak.
"Mother......" she shook her throat, her head lowered as if she was about to be buried in the earth.
"Liu'er, you-" Ah Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then had a shocked expression of disbelief.
This sudden move undoubtedly confirmed Concubine Li's remarks.
Concubine Li lowered her eyes at Liu Er, and said with a threat in her cold voice: "Confess leniently, you can still make up for it, but don't cry until you see the coffin." ”
Dropping a hint, she slowly got up, put on the veil again, and squinted at Feng Qingge, "Next, Concubine Xian will interrogate herself slowly and clean up the portal." Concubine Xian is a smart person, this palace thinks that you should make a wise choice, this palace is waiting for your good news. ”
Ah Jiu stared at Liu'er who was kneeling on the ground, as if he was still in shock, and he didn't know if he heard her words.
Concubine Li didn't care, her devastated look really made her feel happy.
After making sure that they were far away, Ah Jiu put away his expression, leaned lazily in the wide chair, took a sip of the tea on his mobile phone, and then glanced at Liu Er lightly, "Everyone is gone, don't you want to kneel until the New Year?" ”
After Liu Er got the order, she dared to stand up.
Ah Jiu looked at Liu Er with a smile, and said without hesitation: "You acted well just now, it seems that you have completely won the trust of Concubine Li." ”
Ah Jiu knew that Concubine Li had no brains, if it weren't for the fact that her mother's family didn't have that little power, how could she sit in today's position. If it weren't for the emperor, he would have to use your Nalan family and the queen mother's side to check and balance each other, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to tolerate such arrogance.
With the IQ of her little bird, she still wants to compete with others for the position of the main palace mother, which is really wishful thinking.
In her opinion, among the harem concubines, Concubine Lan is the most calm. Don't look at her usual gentle and graceful appearance, not fighting or grabbing, and not being pampered, in fact, such a woman is the deepest and most difficult to deal with.
Ah Jiu can't tell whether she is good or evil now, but one thing is clear, Concubine Lan has no positive conflict of interest with her.
Concubine Lan wants to be in charge of the six palaces, and as long as she doesn't hinder her, then she will be safe.
In addition, the Gao family wanted to win over the Ninth Prince to compete with Shen Junmo, and her relationship with the Ninth Prince, they categorically did not dare to touch her easily.
But if one day they do become enemies, who will be better?
Ah Jiu thought about it for a while, but he couldn't touch Concubine Lan's shallowness, and he really couldn't think of a reliable answer. She, in fact, is not a person with a high IQ, she is very self-aware, it is okay to play tricks, and it is more than enough to cure jealous women. If she really wants to fight those ambitious politicians, she thinks she has no talent.
What is hateful is that she wants to be alone, but she has already been involved in the treacherous power struggle by the Nine Princes and the emperor.
It's nerve-wracking! Ah Jiu was very entangled, wanting to return to his own world, and at the same time ...... I'm really afraid that the longer it drags on, she ...... The more reluctant to leave.
Shangguan's peerless evil man is really hateful and hateful!
Having said that, I don't know where he is now or what he's doing......
it! Stop, stop! Ah Jiu slapped his head suddenly, and quickly threw away those messy thoughts.
This demon actually made her lovesick!
Liu Er looked at her strange demeanor in wonder. "Mother's ......"
"Alright, you go down first."
"Mother, slave ......"
Ah Jiu knew what she wanted to say, and raised his hand to interrupt her, "I want to be alone and quiet." ”
Liu Er pursed her lips, narrowed her eyes slightly, and retreated as she said.
She knew that no matter how much repentance she said at this time, she couldn't whitewash the peace, when nothing had happened. She wasn't exactly acting just now, at that moment, she really felt so ashamed that she wanted to die to apologize.
Seeing Concubine Li's gloating, as if mocking Niangniang's stupidity and ignorance, she felt that she had disgraced Niangniang.
Probably all the people in the Guan Ju Palace now, I'm afraid no one thinks that Niangniang is stupid. Her shrewdness, cunning, calculation, and ruthlessness are probably no match for her among the harem women. That is, she has no ambitions, and she has a heart, otherwise, if she wants to seize power, it is estimated that Concubine Lan will have to give way to her.
Liu Er caught a glimpse of her impatience, and felt a little hurt in her heart, but she also knew that she was to blame. She thought that if she could do it all over again, she would be absolutely and absolutely loyal to her mother.
————
At that time, after the emperor approved the recital, the little eunuch came to pass the word, saying that the queen mother asked him to go to Cining Palace to accompany her to dinner.
Shangguan Junye originally wanted to Guan Ju Palace, but he was afraid that it would attract the Queen Mother's dissatisfaction with Qingge, so he went to Cining Palace.
When he arrived at Cining Palace, he saw that Concubine Lan was also there, and he knew what the Queen Mother was trying to do.
"The emperor has been busy with state affairs recently, and people have lost a lot of weight. It's good for you to care about your country, but you also have to take care of your body. Today, the mourning family specially instructed the imperial dining room to make some of the emperor's favorite food to replenish your body. ”
"I'm worried about my mother."
The Queen Mother personally served him a bowl of soup, looking like a loving mother, and said casually: "This state affair is important, but the harmony between the husband and wife is also very important. ”
Shangguan Junye heard the hint of the Queen Mother, and then looked at the table of big tonic medicinal food, this thought was obvious.
He spoke at the right time: "I am fortunate that Concubine Lan manages the harem for me, so that I can govern the government without distractions." He turned his face away, put his hand on the back of Concubine Lan's hand, and looked relieved: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Concubine Lan's expression was gentle, but a trace of joy flashed in her eyes, "This is a matter for the concubines, the emperor does not need to be polite to the concubines, it is the honor of the concubines to be able to share the emperor's worries and solve problems." ”
The emperor nodded, and very considerately sandwiched vegetables for her, "You can also eat more." ”
Seeing this, the Queen Mother was very satisfied.
After eating, Concubine Lan personally went to make tea for the emperor. The Queen Mother pulled the emperor aside to gossip.
After going around in a big circle, I came to today's topic.
"Your Majesty, how have you considered the matter of establishing the queen?" Concubine Li was grounded, and the Queen Mother felt that she should strike while the iron was hot and settle the matter as soon as possible, so as not to cause further complications.
Shangguan Junye knew the Queen Mother's thoughts, and she had already expressed her thoughts by not avoiding her relatives.
"I already have a candidate in mind, but I want to wait a little longer to see if she really has what it takes." Shangguan Junye said.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she speculated in her heart and asked, "Who is the emperor's choice?" ”
"Concubine Lan is really good, in terms of morality, that is the example of the harem concubines, and in terms of ethics, there has never been any mistakes. Getting along with the concubines and concubines generously and decently, I asked her to temporarily become the head of the Sixth Palace, and I just wanted to test her again. ”
"How does the emperor want to test?"
Shangguan Junye said: "The queen mother should know better than me that this harem land is a battlefield without gunsmoke. If there are many women, there are not too many, and if there is no small chaos, it will cause a big disaster. I want to see if Concubine Lan can really maintain harmony and be impartial in this harem. ”
Although the Queen Mother was wondering if this was the emperor's delay. However, there is no denial of his words. If you want to be a mother in the world, you don't just rely on virtue and virtue, but also on your ability to deal with people and things.
However, looking at the three thousand beauties in the harem, she firmly believes that no one can be better than Concubine Lan. Now the emperor really puts Concubine Lan in the first place, so they can't be in a hurry now, so as not to be self-defeating.
The Queen Mother smiled: "That's natural, then everything is up to the emperor." ”
After finishing the matter, the Queen Mother's words turned around, as if she was concerned: "I heard that the concubine has been sick, and the mourning family has heard rumors that she may be infected with the epidemic, is this true?" ”
Shangguan Junye's face was unwavering, and he said without seeing the heat: "The Queen Mother should not listen to untruths. The imperial doctor said that Concubine Xian was just infected with the wind and cold, especially when she was seriously injured before, fell into the root of the disease, and her heart was depressed, and it was difficult to recover for a while. ”
"Depression? What else can she have to stagnate with? She is the daughter of a criminal minister, and now she can restore her identity and enjoy all the honor in this palace, why not be satisfied? I see, I'm afraid she's unsettled and has a love for other people......"
"The Queen Mother." Shangguan Junye interrupted her words in a deep voice, his face was serious, a trace of displeasure was dyed between his eyebrows, and he said firmly and solemnly: "She is my concubine!" ”
Just this sentence made the Queen Mother hold back, and she was angry in her heart, but she couldn't attack.
She is the queen mother, Fengyi is the world, and she can't fabricate it like an ignorant woman, and she loses her identity. It's just that she really couldn't help it just now.
For that Feng Qingge, he has been holding grudges for a long time, a thorn in his eyes, a thorn in his flesh, and he can't bear it.
At this time, someone from the palace hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, it's not good, Concubine Ning, Concubine Ning, she committed suicide by hanging the beam......"
