Chapter 190: Cooperation
The huge palace is quiet and silent, revealing a dead air, where is there still the lively luxury that it once had?
Along the smooth paved road with bluestone, Luo Qingluan slowly walked into the Qinglin Palace. A few lazy palace maids heard the footsteps, looked up and saw that it was her, and hurriedly knelt down in a panic, just about to say hello was stopped by Luo Qingluan.
Who doesn't know that Concubine Rou Niangniang was beaten into the cold palace by His Majesty because she designed to frame this Luo girl? Not only that, Jing Xiu Rong was also directly executed, so you can imagine the status of Miss Luo in His Majesty's heart. None of the palace maids dared to say much, lowered their heads, and waited until Luo Qingluan walked into the hall to breathe a sigh of relief.
The spacious hall was luxuriously furnished, but it had already been covered with a layer of dust because it had been left unattended for many days. Luo Qingluan looked around, but didn't see anyone, and after thinking about it, he walked towards the inner hall.
As soon as I walked in, I vaguely heard a subtle voice coming, Concubine Rou was wearing a cloak, sitting alone on the couch, and she didn't even notice Luo Qingluan coming in. She muttered to herself, shouting 'Your Majesty' or something, her eyes dazed and glazed, as if she had already lost her soul.
Luo Qingluan suddenly felt bad, could it be that it was only half a month, and Concubine Rou was crazy?
If this is the case, I don't know if it can be cured, Luo Qingluan didn't think about it so much, and walked out quickly, but when she saw Concubine Rou hearing it, she slowly turned her head and stared at her. After seeing who the original dazed eyes were, a fine light suddenly flashed, and then they were full of resentment, gritting their teeth and saying, "It's you!" ”
Regarding Concubine Rou's reaction, Luo Qingluan didn't mind at all.
It's good if you're not crazy, otherwise it's useless. Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing: "I haven't seen you for a few days, how did Concubine Rou become like this?" ”
Concubine Rou only thought that Luo Qingluan had come to see her jokes, and she suddenly felt angry in her heart. If it weren't for the woman in front of her, how could she be like this?
If she didn't want her to see her embarrassed appearance, she didn't want to dodge, as if she was afraid of Luo Qingluan, so Concubine Rou only looked at her hatefully, and said gloomily: "I don't need you to pretend!" Luo Qingluan, you vicious and cunning woman, you can't hide it from others. You must be a spy sent by Western Chu to steal the secrets of my North Vietnamese military aircraft! It's hateful that Your Majesty was deceived by you and actually shielded you like this. ”
"Concubine Rou, you can't imagine too much, right? If it weren't for Han Xun, I would have been taken by him from Western Chu to North Vietnam? ”
Luo Qingluan shook his head, unwilling to explain more about this, but said: "But forget it, I didn't come to you today to say this, I have two news for you, one good news and one bad news, which one do you listen to first?" ”
Unexpectedly, Luo Qingluan didn't pick up her stubble, Concubine Rou was like a punch on cotton, and she couldn't speak.
Since that incident, although His Majesty has not punished her, it goes without saying that the consequences are known. The eunuchs and palace maids who are the most observant have long believed that she has fallen out of favor, although she has not been sent to the prison, but this cold and cold Qinglin Palace is almost a cold palace.
In just half a month, Concubine Rou tasted the feeling of going from the sky to the abyss.
Except for the two confidant palace maids, the other people immediately changed their faces, not only did the food delivered every day become worse, but even the people who cleaned them were gone. In such a hot weather, not to mention the ice basin, even if she wants to drink water, she has to let people burn it outside the hall, where is the scenery of the former lord of the first palace?
All of this was caused by Luo Qingluan, if it weren't for this woman, how could she have fallen to this point?
But now this woman still came to the door and said that there was news to tell her, it had become like this, where was the good news for her turn? This woman is so hateful!
With a cold snort, even if Concubine Rou fell out of favor again, she didn't want to bow her head in front of Luo Qingluan: "You don't have to take this palace to have fun, Luo Qingluan, if you don't leave, this palace will drive you away!" ”
As she spoke, she stood up, staring at Luo Qingluan with a pair of eyes resentfully, and she might make a move at any time.
"Concubine Rou, I feel that I have never taken the initiative to offend you, if you hadn't attacked me several times, would you have fallen to this point today? You don't reflect on yourself, but blame me, are you embarrassed? ”
Luo Qingluan's face sank, and he said coldly: "But I'm really not interested in arguing with a poor person like you, I'm here to ask you something, if you are willing to not blame the past and cooperate with me, I can intercede with Han Xun to let you go, and explain that it is a misunderstanding, so that you can get Han Xun's favor again." ”
Not believing it, Concubine Rou sneered: "Hehe, you are so kind and help me intercede?" You wish I had died sooner, right? ”
Luo Qingluan sneered lightly and said, "You are dead, what good is it for me?" ”
"You want to snatch Your Majesty, isn't that what you're for?" Concubine Rou suddenly screamed, and her fair face was almost distorted.
Almost wanting to stab this woman's brain a few times to figure out why she was so paranoid, Luo Qingluan frowned and said, "Last time, I have never liked Han Xun, I don't know which eye you saw that I was going to rob him with you." Usually Han Xun came to me, but because he was unwell, I helped him recuperate, and the most important thing is that Concubine Rou, you hear clearly, I am already married. ”
What, Luo Qingluan is already married?
The last sentence made Concubine Rou almost can't believe her ears, the woman she has been fighting for so many days, the woman who has always thought she is going to compete for favor with herself, is actually married a long time ago? How can it be? If so, how could His Majesty let her live in Yushu Palace?
This is the main reason for her misunderstanding.
But Luo Qingluan's appearance didn't look like a joke at all, and there was no need to lie to her with these words, Concubine Rou knew that she was just a concubine who had fallen out of favor, and she was not as good as Luo Qingluan, if she really wanted to kill herself, it would be simple, why bother with such a big effort?
Thinking of this, Concubine Rou looked at her suspiciously: "What you said is true?" ”
"Shall I use my reputation to deceive you?" Luo Qingluan said lightly.
"What about you...... Really don't like Your Majesty? Concubine Rou seemed to believe something.
She had to believe that if there was hope of regaining grace, who would be willing to give up? Even if it was a lie to her, she couldn't help but want to give it a try.
Seeing Concubine Rou's attitude reversed, Luo Qingluan didn't bother to talk nonsense, and directly told her that she would leave in a short time, three months to half a year at most. As soon as these words came out, Concubine Rou believed a little more, and her eyes, which were very resentful before, gradually eased, became calm, and had a touch of hope.
"That'...... If that's the case, it's considered that I misunderstood Miss Luo, hello, I'm sorry. Once there is hope, even if it is Concubine Rou, she can't control her embarrassing smile. She has had enough of these half a month, and if she can restore her former glory, she is willing to pay any price.
Finally dispelled Concubine Rou's hostility, Luo Qingluan nodded and said, "Okay, let's not talk about the past, since you also want to understand, then I will tell Han Xun when I go back and let her let you out." I'll explain a few more words to you, and he shouldn't blame you. ”
Concubine Rou was pleasantly surprised when she heard this: "Really? Your Majesty won't blame me? But ......"
Thinking of what she had done, she didn't even believe herself, and almost knelt down: "I made such a big mistake, what if Your Majesty refuses to forgive me?" Miss Luo, I'm sorry for you, can you help me? I was wrong in the past, please forgive me, Miss Luo, you must help me, okay? ”
Concubine Rou used to mind Luo Qingluan all the time calling His Majesty by his name, but now that she said this, Concubine Rou became more and more sure that Luo Qingluan had no intention of His Majesty.
I don't even have the slightest respect for Your Majesty, it's not a loss to be a woman from Xichu, I think Luo Qingluan really doesn't like Your Majesty. Concubine Rou became more and more convinced that she hadn't lied to herself, and couldn't help but look at Luo Qingluan with tears in her eyes.
"Don't worry, I'll tell Han Xun and promise that he won't blame you. But how to make him like you in the future depends on your own means. Luo Qingluan said.
"Yes, yes, thank you Miss Luo for your help." Concubine Rou nodded hurriedly.
After saying the first thing, the next thing is the focus of Luo Qingluan's coming here today.
"You'll soon be free, but I have bad news for you. Recently, you have been confined, I don't know the news outside, next month, North Vietnam will marry the Southern Wei Dynasty, Your Majesty Han Xun, who you have been thinking about, is about to marry Bai Yixuan, the princess of the Southern Wei Dynasty, as the queen. ”
"What? Your Majesty, he ......"
was almost stunned by this thunderbolt on a sunny day, Concubine Rou was stunned on the spot, and she couldn't even finish her words.
She never thought that she might be able to regain her former glory just now, but in the blink of an eye, she met a bigger opponent - Princess Xuanji of Southern Wei? And His Majesty wants to marry her as a queen?
Your Majesty has not been established since he ascended the throne, and Concubine Rou and other concubines are fighting openly and secretly, don't they all hope that they can become the most beautiful woman? But this will be ...... She has only fallen out of favor for less than a month, and His Majesty is about to marry another woman.
Once Princess Xuanji marries, North Vietnam will have a queen, and the harem will have a master.
"How could it be...... How could Your Majesty ...... Marrying the Queen? Concubine Rou muttered, her face pale, as if she had lost her soul.
"Okay, don't look pretentious."
Luo Qingluan couldn't feel Concubine Rou's loss and shock, and said with a slight smile: "You have been able to get Han Xun's favor in the past two years, and it is not without means to think about it, although Han Xun is about to marry the queen, but you also have one point: you are the one who has accompanied Han Xun for many years, and you know his temperament and preferences best, as long as you use some means, it is not impossible to continue to maintain your honor." ”
"You mean, let Your Majesty not like Princess Xuanji? However, in the unlikely event that Your Majesty ......"
"Concubine Rou, are you still afraid? I don't believe that you haven't used any tricks or tricks over the years. Dealing with a mere foreign princess, is it still difficult to get you? Luo Qingluan raised her eyebrows and looked at Concubine Rou, smiling rather than smiling.
After a pause, she comforted Concubine Rou again: "Besides, there is still me." That's the main reason why I came to you today, let's cooperate, don't worry, I will definitely be on your side. ”
When Concubine Rou heard this, she almost didn't believe it, she used to be so kind to Luo Qingluan, and she was willing to help her?
"Miss Luo, you ...... Are you really willing to help me? ”
Luo Qingluan nodded, and said with a straight face: "To tell you the truth, I have seen this Princess Xuanji before, and I have some festivals with her, if I help you, it will be equivalent to helping myself take revenge, don't you say?" ”
"If that's the case, then thank you Miss Luo." Concubine Rou was finally relieved, brushed her messy hair, and showed a knowing smile.
Regardless of whether Luo Qingluan really has a hatred and secret with that Princess Xuanji in private, it is none of her business, as long as Luo Qingluan is willing to help her.
