Chapter 169: Clearing the Dilemma
Xia Yuqiu frowned slightly, "Princess Huagui, please forgive Yuqiu for being bold and offensive, I heard that Cang Linchen has already retired from the book to send the princess back to the palace, even if we all marry into the Qing Kingdom, we may not be able to keep your position as the queen, in this case, will our sacrifice seem a little insignificant?" ”
Yin Huan nodded approvingly, this Xia Yuqiu has always been much more cautious than Xia Yuwan, "These palaces will naturally find a way, you don't need to worry about it." Now you just need to go and explain the meaning of the palace to the prince. ”
The faces of the two sisters changed slightly, and finally, Xia Yuwan said softly: "Prince...... It's long gone in the palace. Yin Huan's eyes were cold, and Xia Yuwan immediately raised her voice a little, "It's really gone, not many people in the entire palace know about this matter, and no one dares to say it." No one knows where the prince has gone, this matter is because he dare not spread it, and if it does, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
"Winning the country is such a prince, he can't stay in the palace well, where will he go?" Yin Huan frowned, "If there is no personal send-off from him, just relying on some send-off teams will make your status too low." Two years ago, an idiot was sent to Cang Rinchen, and two years later, two more unfavored princesses were sent, you can also think about Cang Rinchen's reaction. Anyway, that's all the words of this palace, what to do, you can think of a way yourself. In a few days, this palace will go back to Qingguo to take care of everything, and I hope you will come up with a way for this palace before this. ”
After sending the two of them, Yin Huan's brows were always tightly wrinkled together, Ye Xinghuan looked at her quietly, Yin Huan suddenly mentioned the prince today, could it be that everything she is doing now is to find out something related to the prince? At this time, he heard Yin Huan say softly: "Xinghuan, have you ever seen the true face of Daylight?" ”
Ye Xinghuan smiled slightly, and finally, suddenly said: "Are you suspicious that the master of the Hellfire Gate of the Netherworld Palace is the crown prince?" ”
"It's not a suspicion, it's a bold speculation, otherwise, I can't figure it out, why are they in the Netherworld Palace of the Qing Kingdom, with an extraordinary status, you should also know how huge an organization they are, why would they run around for a country that almost died? I've always suspected that there is a conspiracy behind this. Xia Chuxiong looks charitable on the surface, but in fact, he is a scheming person...... Forget it, it's useless to speculate, we'll go back to the winning country in three days. Yin Huan looked at Ye Xinghuan and squinted and smiled, "For me, it's just a change of place to fight." ”
Ye Xinghuan raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not speak.
*
Late at night, there was a soft sound outside the door, Yin Huan immediately opened his eyes, sat up from the bed, and heard Jialu's voice sounding outside the door, "Princess, have you fallen asleep?" The Seventh Princess said she had something important to see. ”
Yin Huan raised her lips lightly, and sure enough, everything was similar to what she expected, this Xia Yuqiu was hiding something in front of Xia Yuwan, and hummed softly, the door opened, Xia Yuqiu flashed in from outside the door, and blessed Yin Huan, "Princess Huagui." ”
"Everyone is sisters, and there are no outsiders here, so get up." Yin Huan got up and walked to the table, poured two glasses of water, and motioned for Xia Yuqiu to sit down, "The Seventh Emperor Sister came to the palace so late, saying that she had something important to see, but I don't know ......."
"Third Emperor Sister ......" Xia Yuqiu called in a low voice, her eyebrows and eyes were always lowered, giving people a cautious expression, she seemed to bite her lower lip, making a very struggling decision, these little tricks Yin Huan saw in her eyes, but she didn't say much, she slowly raised her head, looked at Yin Huan, and looked a little flustered, "Third Emperor Sister, in fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was no longer in the palace ten years ago, and there are all kinds of rumors, saying that he has actually been ...... a long time ago Some people also say that he traveled to other countries, just because Yuqiu was close to the prince when he was a child, and his father has always used this reason to make everyone believe that the relationship between the prince and Yuqiu has always been good.
said to the outside world that the prince was weak and needed long-term recuperation, and Yuqiu was specially responsible for taking care of the prince. The ministers didn't really believe in this statement, but helplessly, there have been many wars in the past few years, and they have no time to take care of anything else. ”
After Xia Yuqiu finished speaking, he calmed down, "However, I know the whereabouts of the crown prince, and he is in constant contact with me. I came to the imperial sister to recognize your statement, we can't be looked down upon, and when the time comes, life in the palace will be difficult step by step. I also hope that if the imperial sister can really regain the throne at that time, she can ask the emperor to canonize me as a concubine. ”
Yin Huan smiled slightly, "Concubine? The corners of his mouth raised a sneer coldly, "Your tone is not small, with your identity as a concubine, I am afraid it will not be easy to enter the palace as a concubine." ”
"It is precisely because it is not easy that Yuqiu will come to ask the imperial sister." Xia Yuqiu's expression was also calm, "For the sake of our sisters, when the time comes, I will plead with Cang Rinchen for the imperial sister." Everyone knows that the reason why the imperial sister has to let the imperial sister go to Qingguo this time is that we are just a chess piece to help you succeed with the winning country. But the imperial sister is also convinced that with the imperial sister, you will definitely be fully prepared, even if you win the country again this time, you will definitely have a way to keep your position. In addition, your reputation among the people of the winning country has always been excellent, no matter how good you are, Cang Rinchen will not kill you.
But we are different, we are just a pawn. It is precisely because of this that if you want to make an agreement with the imperial sister, you must have bargaining chips worthy of your consent, and the imperial sister has exactly what the imperial sister needs. ”
Xia Yuqiu's eyes looked at Yin Huan fixedly.
Yin Huan couldn't help but raise his lips and smile, took a sip of tea gently, and said casually: "This palace is now a noble princess, as you said, this palace has a way to protect itself, after returning to Qingguo, you can still be in the back position, unshakable, what else does this palace need?" ”
"Originally, the imperial sister never thought of it, but after thinking about it in the past few days, I always felt that with the imperial sister's temperament, it should not be a master who will play with right and wrong and stir up the whole harem, which means that you have been waiting for a person to appear, and this person, compared to the queen than the concubine, you have to make the princess more attentive. The imperial sister calculated carefully, in this harem, there is no second person who can make the queen and the concubine more attractive to the imperial sister, except for the queen mother. Because of the imperial sister, you have always been obsessed with the fact that you became stupid when you were young, and it also caused you to suffer a lot when you went to win the country. And the poison that the queen gave to Concubine De may not make you like that, so you want to find out the real murderer and the truth about your murder from the queen mother. ”
Xia Yuqiu changed her usual cautious words and deeds, and said all the words in her heart in one breath, "The imperial sister can help you test the queen mother, she has always loved the imperial sister......"
"That's enough." Yin Huan interrupted faintly, there was still a smile between his eyebrows, "It is undeniable that you are indeed a smart and creative talent, but being smart is mistaken by being smart, everything you say, since you know that it is just speculation and there is no reliable evidence, you should not talk nonsense." With the current status of the palace in the palace, what is wrong with the queen mother? Besides, the matter of that year, this palace has already said that it will not be pursued again. ”
"What about the crown prince, the matter of traveling, our decency will also directly affect the status of the imperial sister in the Qing Kingdom......
"Enough, you said so much, it's nothing more than wanting this palace to say good things for you in Cang Rinchen, this palace has already said just now, since everyone is sisters, you don't need to go around such a big circle, even if it is of no value, this palace will help you improve your status in the palace, this is the best help for this palace in the palace." Yin Huan glanced lightly at Xia Yuqiu, who seemed to be relieved, "You are very smart, but in the two years that this palace has been in Qingguo, you can become a well-known queen in the world from a deposed queen who was beaten into the cold palace, and you have not relied on you for half a point." ”
Xia Yuqiu's face changed, and she knelt on the ground suddenly, "The imperial sister spares her life, it is the imperial sister who talks too much, and the imperial sister spares her life." ”
"Well, you should retreat first, this palace is a little tired." Yin Huan gently stroked his forehead, and when Xia Yuqiu saw this, he had to retreat.
Jialu flashed in, "Princess, the seventh princess is gone. ”
Yin Huan raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "This Xia Yuqiu's status in the harem is embarrassing, but when I heard her talk about those things just now, I feel that she seems to have quite a status in the palace, and even the Empress Dowager and the Crown Prince have a good relationship with her, do you know the reason?" Even Xia Yuwan, a rampaging and unruly princess, didn't dare to be as arrogant as her.
The Empress Dowager is a lord that even Xia Chuxiong must not easily offend. Although the winning country has perished, the Wanhuang Golden Palace, which the ancestor emperor repaired to the Empress Dowager with 10,000 acres of land, is still pasting gold pieces on it piece by piece, and I heard that even if the war continues and the treasury is empty, Xia Chuxiong has never had the idea of fighting the Wanhuang Golden Palace.
"Maybe it's because of the identity of the seventh princess, coupled with the fact that she has always been cautious in her words and deeds, no better than the fifth princess, relying on the support of the concubine, doing nonsense in the palace, these things have more or less passed into the ears of the queen mother, but the queen mother has not often asked about things in the palace over the years, and rarely returns to the palace. But there is only one person in the palace, the seventh princess, who can enter and exit the Wanhuang Golden Palace proudly, I believe that this is also related to the fact that Concubine Tou has never dared to be biased for so many years. Jia Lu told some of the news he heard in the Yujiao Palace.
Yin Huan nodded lightly, and suddenly smiled, "Since the palace is going back to Qingguo in a few days, it stands to reason that you should naturally go to meet the Empress Dowager, you go and prepare, and tomorrow we will go to the Wanhuang Golden Palace." ”
"Princess, I can't help it." As soon as Roubi arrived, she heard Yin Huan say these words, and hurriedly rushed in, breaking her usual etiquette. "Princess, no matter how rarely the Empress Dowager usually sees people, if you want to see her, you have to pass it a few days in advance, and after agreeing, you have to fast and bathe for a day before entering the palace, if you go directly, I am afraid that the Empress Dowager will order punishment, and when the time comes, even the emperor may not be able to keep the princess."
Yin Huan knew that what Roubi said was the truth, and immediately smiled faintly, "This palace knows, but since this palace dares to go, there is a reason why she has to see it." The light in his eyes revealed a slight coldness, "Jialu, you go first." ”
"Yes, Princess." Garlu retreated.
Yin Huan got up and helped Rou Bi to the side and sat down, "Auntie, over the years, thanks to you for taking care of me and my mother, I have long regarded you as a relative, last time I married Qingguo, I couldn't take you away, this time, no matter what, I will let you walk out of this palace gate openly." ”
"Princess, the slave knows that you are filial, and these days, I have always wanted to ask the princess one thing about you, why did you have the opportunity to kill the real murderer who killed Concubine De in the first place, why did you let them live in the end?" Roubi always felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, for the truth turned out to be like this, she couldn't accept it at all, and tossed and turned all night, so she decided to come and ask about it, but she didn't expect that she just heard Yin Huan say that she was going to see the Queen Mother.
"If you kill them, the queen mother will not be able to come back to life, as long as they are still alive, the palace will have a way to dig out the little use value they have left. Besides, do you think the emperor dares to do anything to the queen? Although Concubine Tou is only a princess of a small tribe, with this chess piece, it is not impossible for the winning country to join forces with Fanguo in the future. Although Fanguo is a small country, its people are rich and its military is extremely strong. And the queen, the Liu family in the palace is intertwined, even if it kills these two people, the emperor will definitely not dare to do it. In this case, I just took the opportunity to give a few people down the steps, and there will be people who are grateful to the palace, why not? Yin Huan looked at Roubi and squinted and smiled.
