Chapter 102: For the Concubine

Cangzi Meng knew that he had hit Jiang Li's foundation.

Looking at the smiling face that was torn in half in the painting, Cangzimeng replied lightly: "Although the slave maid stays in the boudoir all the year round and does not communicate with the outside world, she has also heard of the emperor's glorious deeds.

The princess of Beizhao, who is somewhat similar to the maidservant, seems to have died at the hands of the emperor a long time ago, right? ”

Destroy the royal family and destroy a country.

Jiang Li uses the sincerity of an ignorant girl and the love of a father for his daughter.

"You ......" Jiang Li gritted her teeth, unable to find anything to fight back against her for a while.

Cangzimeng continued: "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, the slave and maid will retire first, and the mother is still waiting for the slave and maid." ”

deliberately mentioned Murong Lian, Cangzi Meng just wanted to see Jiang Li's reaction.

Sure enough, as she expected, as soon as she heard Murong Lian, Jiang Li was deflated.

"Get out!"

One word, expressing too much of his thoughts.

There was no pity in his tone, and it could be seen that Feng Cangzi was just trying to achieve what purpose he was trying to achieve.

Cangzimeng got up to leave, and a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth as he turned around. In a trance, all the past turned into a floating bubble, turning into nothingness in the warm sunlight.

Jiang Li still hasn't changed, she is still so paranoid and self-righteous.

He still thinks he is as stupid as Xinning at the beginning? So easy to be deceived?

The position of the concubine is not uncommon for her, and she is not willing to look at Jiang Li's hypocritical face.

Returning to Queen Dao's side, Cangzimeng did not mention what Jiang Li said to her.

If Jiang Li didn't want Murong Lian to be angry, he would definitely hide this matter.

At this juncture, if Cangzi Meng mentioned it herself, once Jiang Li didn't admit it, would Murong Lian still trust her as before?

She doesn't take any risks without being absolutely sure.

Losing Jiang Li's patience is small, and Murong Lian is now her only backer in the palace.

Without Murong Lian's protection, Cangzi's dream gradually became difficult.

"Vena Shushu."

On the way to the kitchen, I heard someone calling me, and when I looked back, I saw that it was Nianbai.

"Why did you come to me?"

Now in broad daylight, she is not sick, and there must be something wrong with Nianbai looking for her.

Nianbai walked in and handed a bag in his hand to Cangzi Meng: "Take it, the prince of the third watch will come to you tonight, don't follow the queen to the emperor's place before that." ”

"Why?"

"Just do what I say, don't ask why."

Cangzi Meng took the pale cyan bag ignorantly, and the things in the bag were heavy.

"What if I go?"

If the queen insisted on letting her go, as a slave, she had no right to veto.

Nian Bai replied: "You look at what is in the bag, and you will know what to do." ”

Cangzi Meng obediently opened the bag, which contained a porcelain bottle.

I took out the porcelain bottle and opened it, and the small red pill had a faint aroma.

She knew this thing, it was the poison that Yan Mingjiu used to kill people.

"When necessary, you can't wait so much, I'll go first." As soon as the vernacular voice fell, he raised his feet and was about to leave.

Cangzimeng looked at his back, held the poison in his hand, and realized that things were not as easy as Nian Bai said.

When she went back, Yanran asked her, "Why have you been there for so long?" Are the kitchen people busy? ”

"Well, it's pretty much it."

"Niangniang, where are you going to the emperor later, do you want to follow?"

Cangzi Meng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "Go ahead, I'm a little uncomfortable." ”

"What's wrong? You can't get sick, right? ”

Yan Ran also knew that Cangzi Meng's health had not been good, so she subconsciously thought that she had suffered from the wind and was sick.

"No, maybe I didn't have a good rest, anyway, the emperor doesn't like to see me, so I won't go to him."

Yanran smiled speechlessly: "You girl, you're really a stupid child." ”

Whether the emperor doesn't want to see her, or whether she doesn't want to see the emperor, this matter needs to be investigated.

Cangzi Meng thought that she had escaped like this, but fate still played a joke on her.

What can't be escaped can't be avoided after all, and what should be faced still has to be faced.

"What about books? Why didn't she follow? ”

Murong Lian saw that Yan Ran was the only one and there was no shadow of Cangzi Meng beside her, so she asked.

Yanran replied respectfully: "She's not comfortable with her books, so she won't follow Niangniang." ”

"That's not good, this trip is for the sake of books, no matter how uncomfortable she is, she has to follow." Murong Lian's face was full of seriousness, as if she was a little dissatisfied with Cangzimeng's evasion.

Yan Ran was puzzled: "What is the matter?" ”

"Something happened to his father, go quickly."

Luo Shushu's father, that little official.

Cangzi dreamed of that person, and that person also saw Cangzimeng's appearance after his disguise.

The real Luo Shushu had already been escorted to Beizhao by Yan Mingjiu's people, firstly, Luo Shushu could better recuperate his body, and secondly, there was no room for shaking his father's heart to return to Yan Mingjiu.

For this situation, Cangzi Meng has no reason not to go.

Luo Shushu's father had an accident, why did Yan Mingjiu give her poison?

Cangzimeng is now using the identity of Luo Shushu, and he can't refuse it because of reason.

So after listening to what Yanran said, he immediately pretended to be very anxious and asked, "What happened to my father?" Where is he? ”

Can a palace maid's father be so valued by the emperor and queen? Cangzi Meng never believed that his status was so important now.

She pretended to be very anxious, and pretended to be anxious all the way behind the queen.

Murong Lian comforted: "Books that are okay shouldn't be a big deal." ”

Murong Lian expressed in her words that she didn't know what was going on, and Cangzi Meng replied: "What little things can alarm you and the emperor, don't comfort the slave maid." ”

It was impossible for her not to know what was going on, if Yan Mingjiu had already known that Jiang Li would let Murong Lian take her over, it must mean that Jiang Li had discussed it with Murong Lian in advance, and it would not be a good thing.

Seeing them coming, Jiang Li stepped forward and helped Murong Lian and asked softly, "Have you really thought about it?" ”

Murong Lian nodded in response: "Hmm." ”

Cangzimeng obviously didn't understand what they were doing, and inexplicably had an ominous premonition. He opened his mouth and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with my father?" ”

Jiang Li glanced at Cangzi Meng, and then turned his head to look at Murong Lian.

Invisibly, the two seemed to have reached some kind of consensus, and Murong Lian nodded at him.

Jiang Li replied: "Your father has agreed to let you be the concubine, in fact, this matter is also the queen's proposal, I called you here to ask your opinion in front of the queen." ”

Cangzimeng looked at Murong Lian in disbelief: "Niangniang, this?" ”

Will Murong Lian agree with Concubine Jiang Li?

Cangzimeng couldn't believe this for a while.

Murong Lian nodded and responded: "The emperor sent someone to visit your father, who knew that his old man was now sick in bed, and after coming back, the emperor told the palace, and after thinking about it, he still felt that his old man might hope that his only daughter could have a home, so he discussed this matter with the emperor." ”

Cangzimeng's eyelids twitched.

"So, Niangniang asked her father to ask her father's opinion, so that her father agreed to be a slave and a concubine?"

She really didn't understand Murong Lian, isn't it good to monopolize the harem, why do you have to let someone share it.

She's a mess right now, a mess.

"Actually, this palace is ashamed, let you be a concubine, this palace has selfish intentions."

Murong Lian raised her head worriedly and glanced at Jiang Li, her phoenix eyes full of sorrow.

"Now the ministers of the court and the central government are dissatisfied with the monopoly of the harem by the palace, and they are trying their best to stuff people around the emperor. After the national sacrifice ceremony, the emperor has to accept a few concubines to stabilize those ministers, compared to others, the palace believes in you more, so Shushu, the palace is very sorry, I hope you can help the palace. ”

Cangzi Meng understood that she was not worried about her status being shaken, but in order to consolidate her position.

"Why slaves?"

In comparison, isn't Yanran more trustworthy than her, who has just been with her for less than a month?

"Because of your appearance, you can save some trouble."

Murong Lian said earnestly, looking away from the distance.

Isn't her appearance a little similar to the original Princess Xinning?

Thinking of this, Cangzi Meng seemed to understand Murong Lian's intentions.

Find someone who is somewhat similar to Xinning, and there will be rumors that Xinning is not dead.

When the ministers of the DPRK and China saw it, they would also guess that Jiang Li's old love was not over, and he did not treat Murong Lian very sincerely.

The persecution of Jiangli's harem can naturally be put down.

Cangzimeng frowned, not hiding his reluctance at all.

Whether it is Cangzimeng or Luo Shushu, she does not want to be Jiang Li's concubine.

How can the status be superior, it is not that you have to dig out your heart and lungs to curry favor with the queen and curry favor with Jiang Li.

"Does the slave have the right to refuse?"

"Nope." Jiang Li didn't think about it, and naturally answered these two words.

Cangzimeng sighed: "Can you ...... Give the maid a moment to think about it? ”

She wants to delay the time, wait for Yan Mingjiu to come tonight, and then ask him about his countermeasures.

Yan Mingjiu should have known about this, so he asked Nianbai to remind her.

But she still didn't know what was going on with the bottle of poison in her bag.

"The day after tomorrow, I and the Empress are waiting for your reply. After the national sacrifice ceremony, it is up to you to choose whether to be the imperial concubine or continue to be the palace maid by the queen's side. ”

Jiang Li's words fell, and Murong Lian added: "Shushu, your father has agreed, and this palace hopes that you can consider it carefully." ”

Why did Father Luo agree, there must be some secret in this.

Yan Mingjiu should have gotten the news from Luo's father before letting Nianbai go to see her.

And that bottle of poison, Cangzi still doesn't know what it's for.

waited until Yan Mingjiu came, and all the doubts poured out.

Then, she knew the truth about why Luo's father would agree to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li nominally sent someone to visit Luo's father's body, but in fact, he deliberately inquired about Luoshushu's identity.

Luo's father died early in his wife, and his daughter Luo Shushu has been in poor health.

Jiang Li's people surrounded the entire Luo family with soldiers, but fortunately, the real Luo Shushu had already left, and the identity of Cangzi Meng was not exposed.

When he heard that Jiang Li intended to make Cangzi Meng, who was pretending to be Luo Shushu, a concubine, Luo's father hesitated.

Cangzimeng's purpose of sneaking into the palace Luo's father didn't know, but he knew that Cangzimeng was Yan Mingjiu's woman, because he had heard Nianhe call her "madam".

Now that Jiang Li wants to make her a concubine, Luo's father naturally can't easily agree.

It was the soldiers who surrounded and suppressed the outside of Luo's house that put pressure on him, and after thinking about it, he chose to deal with it for the time being, and then went to ask Yan Mingjiu's opinion.
