015. Clues, clever layout

Hearing what she said, I was speechless for a while.

To be honest, what Su Qingyu said was the truth.

As the eldest princess of Su Qianguo, she grew up being pampered in the palace from childhood to adulthood. Because she is the only princess of Su Qianguo, Su Qingyu is unique. The things that are paid every year are selected for her first, and the rest will be selected for the prince and the harem when she picks the rest.

It is also because of her identity that the entire palace of Su Qianguo loves her very much. Even if she disposed of a palace maid in the palace at will, no one would blame her more. So Su Qingyu, who has been let since he was a child, naturally can't stand half of the grievances.

When the two countries got married, Su Qingyu also asked Ye Mingzhu to marry, and the crown prince would come to Mu Jin Kingdom thousands of miles away, and then he waited for Mu Ziqin to inherit the throne before he felt a little balanced in his heart.

From the day Su Qingyu followed Mu Ziqin into the palace and took charge of the harem, the entire harem of Mu Jin Kingdom was implementing an extremely strict set of palace rules at her request, and the female officials and palace maids in the palace never had the slightest chance to get close to Mu Ziqin. The whole feeling is that she is the king of this harem. And the reason why she can be so domineering is because the original marriage contributed to Mu Ziqin's succession to the throne. For Mu Ziqin, this kind of "help" is just a fraction of what he really pays, not to mention that since the founding of Mu Jin Kingdom, there has never been a struggle for the throne, and every heir to the throne must have been cultivated since childhood. The heirs to the throne who are chosen will be wise and virtuous. They have been educated by the masters of Chinese culture since they were young.

But Su Qingyu, who didn't know anything about it, felt good about himself. Therefore, she has always wanted to be better - to be the mother of the future heir to the throne. She married Mu Ziqin at the age of sixteen, and although she didn't have much time to sleep, her desire for a dragon fetus never diminished during the seven years she followed him. What's more, Mu Ziqin does not have many concubines, and there are only two from the establishment of the mansion to the succession to the throne.

For these two ladies of Mu Ziqin, Su Qingyu has always been wary of them. However, it still prevented Mrs. Jing, and in the first year of her entry into the house, Mrs. was pregnant with a child, and in the second year, she gave birth to Mu Ziqin's only son, Mu Yu. This is the only failure in Su Qingyu's life.

Now, Mrs. Lowe is also pregnant with a dragon fetus. And it was Mu Ziqin's first dragon fetus after ascending the throne, which undoubtedly added a stumbling block for Su Qingyu to consolidate his position, although he used a trick to let Mrs. Jing live in the cold palace last time, but this time if he didn't get rid of the fetus in Luo Ge's womb, then there would be absolutely no chance after that.

Thinking of this, Su Qingyu was even more angry, and summoned Jingyi to go outside the palace to bring news for himself.

But who would have thought that Jingyi would be rotten by the guards outside the palace gate before he went out.

"On the orders of the king, no one in the palace is allowed to go out."

Looking at the spear that stopped in front of him, he didn't dare to break through. Although she is the queen's personal palace maid, her power in the palace is equal to that of a first-class female official, but she can only call others in the palace at the end of the court, and others will not take her in the eyes of others when she leaves this palace.

She hesitated and then returned to the palace. Seeing the return of the situation, Su Qingyu's face sank.

"Back to the queen, the guards outside the palace gate blocked the way of the slaves and maids, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to bring out this news."

Listening to the return of the situation, Su Qingyu was completely furious. She slammed all the things on the table beside her to the ground, pointed to the palace gate and scolded angrily: "Mu Ziqin, if it weren't for this palace, how could you sit on that high throne today!" ”

As soon as he said this, someone reported it to Mu Ziqin as it was. And Mu Ziqin, who heard this, happened to be discussing the future strategy with Luo Ge.

The chamberlain who knocked on the door knelt on the ground and said directly: "Back to the king, the queen's personal palace maid was stopped when she wanted to leave the palace gate, and then the queen's scolding came from the courtyard. ”

"What did she scold?" Mu Ziqin interrupted the chat with Luo Ge and asked with interest. Looking at his appearance, Luo Ge was also very cooperative and silent.

This question was difficult for the inner servant who repaid, and he could only say in order to keep the head of the upward: "Returning to the king, it is just some unpleasant words." ”

Mu Ziqin has always been a temper who doesn't like to be hidden, and the more anyone hides it, the more he wants to know. He smiled, and then said, "Forgive you for your innocence, you just have to say it." ”

Hearing his words, the chamberlain sighed, immediately kowtowed, and said, "Back to the king, the queen said, Mu Ziqin, if it weren't for the palace, how could you sit on the high throne today." ”

After the chamberlain had spoken as he spoke, he immediately got up and withdrew. He knew very well how lethal this sentence was to Mu Ziqin. After all, Gong Weizhong is full of such small rumors.

Sure enough, Mu Ziqin's face changed after listening to the words, his face was gloomy, and even Luo Ge, who was sitting beside him and knew the reason, was a little unable to withstand the low pressure from Mu Ziqin.

"Ahem, ahem." She cleared her throat and said, "Your Majesty, the plan you told the concubine before, the concubine thinks you can think about it a little more. ”

"How?" Mu Ziqin listened to her words and continued to look at the map of the palace that had been laid out between the two of them earlier with a calm face.

The concubine thought that since the queen wanted to pass on her situation out of the palace at this moment, someone must be directly outside the palace. And the person who answers will definitely pass the message to the layout person outside the palace. And if the person who laid out the plan knew that the queen's situation was extremely difficult, then all those who could help the queen would find a way to go to the queen to receive orders and get rid of the concubines. As long as we can catch this layout person first, then we can find the group of people who are most exposed. I don't know what the king wants? ”

Listening to what she said, Mu Ziqin swept away the gloom on his face and asked seriously: "How did you think that there would be people outside the palace?" ”

"Back to the king, according to the current forces of the five desolations and eight horses, the only one who can form a confrontation with the Su Qian Kingdom must be my Great Jin Kingdom. However, because of the sudden death of the previous monarch, Su Ling's rapid ascension to the throne led to the confrontation of two forces within Su Qianguo. One is Su Ling, the current emperor of Su Qian, and the other is Su Jin, the king of Xiang who occupies a seat in the southwest of Su Qian.

"These two have been hostile to each other since childhood, and they have also worked hard for the throne of Su Qianguo for many years. Therefore, if the two want to eradicate each other, they will definitely send someone to the Great Jin Kingdom. After all, in their hearts, whoever first has the control of the crown prince heir of the Great Jin Kingdom will be equivalent to getting the opportunity to put the other party to death.

In that case, the two forces will definitely not just let the queen and concubine be alone in the palace, so there will definitely be a crucial person to strategize in the imperial city. ”

"Since you say so, what about ...... Shouldn't Lone ask Madame, who is your layout person? Mu Ziqin got up as he spoke, and slowly approached her.

After Mu Ziqin finished speaking, Luo Ge realized that he forgot about his embarrassing situation when he helped him solve the problem, and unnaturally brought it to Xia Tianqing's state, and he was speechless for a while, not knowing how to deal with it.

Seeing her embarrassed and shy appearance, Luo Ge smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Mrs. Lone's face would also be red and red, and she couldn't speak." ”

When he said this, Luo Ge lowered his head even more ashamedly. At this moment, in his eyes, the woman in front of him was not the "Brother Dong" whose identity was a mystery from the enemy country, but a sixteen-year-old girl who was embarrassed by her own teasing.

For a while, the whole room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

The sudden quiet atmosphere made Luo Ge feel uncomfortable. She cleared her throat slightly, and then said, "I don't know, what does the king think of my previous suggestion?" ”

Mu Ziqin sat down in front of Luo Ge again, then looked at the map of the imperial city seriously and said, "Gu thinks what you said is very likely, but I don't know where you think Su Jin's layout will be?" ”

Luo Ge carefully excluded them one by one on the map of the imperial city according to his previous memories in Su Qianguo, then stopped at the southwesternmost corner, tapped it with his index fingertips, and said, "Here." ”

"Why this?"

According to Su Jin's temperament and character, he never liked to place his own people in the open, which happened to be a stark contrast to Su Ling. And the southwest corner of the Imperial City is the most sparsely populated place. After all, an old man said that the southwest corner has the heaviest yin qi and is the easiest to attract unclean things. Naturally, this condition has become the most likely position for the layout person arranged by Su Jin. ”

"Then you have to send someone to investigate?"

"No, the king just needs to find someone to follow the queen's personal palace maid."

In this way, Mu Ziqin and Luo Ge discussed the first move for Su Qingyu.

At dawn on the second day, Luo Ge was called by Lu Zhi early in the morning before he received the news from Mu Ziqin.

Before dawn, Lu Zhi stood in front of her with a group of maids carrying winter clothes and headdresses that had been prepared long ago. And Luo Ge, who had just woken up from his sleep, rubbed his eyes in confusion and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve. When the time comes, you will go to the Queen Mother's palace to pay your respects. ”

After being reminded by Lu Zhi like this, Luo Ge suddenly remembered that today is the most important time in the entire palace, and everyone in the harem, except for Mrs. Jing, who is already in the cold palace, must go to the Qingxia Palace where the Queen Mother is to ask for peace and dinner for the Queen Mother.

In the Mu Jin Kingdom, on this day, the Manchu Dynasty did not go to court for civil and military affairs, and they also went home to reunite with their families. And the officials who were far away from home had already arrived home in the past two days. In the entire palace, there are palace maids and chamberlains who have food pairs, and they are not arranged to be on duty today. Leave the young maid to serve.

The imperial dining room will start preparing the recipes reported by each palace early, and if there are individual ladies who want to cook alone, there will be apprentices from the imperial kitchen who will go to each palace to help in advance. The ladies who want to cook all kinds of dishes naturally don't do it themselves, they just stand aside and guide the imperial chef apprentices. Because Mu Ziqin doesn't have any ladies in the harem, all the imperial chefs are preparing imperial meals in the imperial dining room this year.

While Luo Ge was letting people serve the washing and drinking, he was always worried about the imperial dining room on the other side of the palace.
