Chapter 127: Chen Guifei's Secret
"When my sister goes out from here, my sister's heart disease will naturally be solved."
The voice laughed strangely, and the three people hiding behind the rockery shook together, Chu Nian looked back silently, and looked at Mingyue with an inquiring gaze.
At this moment, Mingyue is full of innocence, how does she know when her mother and concubine hooked up with someone in the court? And at this moment, this person's voice is so weird, it is disgusting to listen to it, don't say that Chu Nian and Mingqiao are uncomfortable, Mingyue feels that the owner of this voice will open his mouth at any time and swallow the concubine who was sitting next to her.
Seeing that Mingyue didn't jump out to expose their eavesdropping actions, Chu Niancai retracted his gaze and looked down the stone hole in the rockery, Mingyue was also very curious, and the three heads were just squeezed behind the rockery, looking curiously at the two people who were talking over there.
From the perspective of the three of them, you can just see the side face of Concubine Liang, but the person opposite only shows a slightly withered hand, revealing a small half of the cuffs, and the cuffs are peony petals thickened with gold wire. It didn't look like a piece of clothing that anyone in the court could afford.
The court is full of sinners, some are concubines who have made mistakes and have been degraded, and some are maids who have made big mistakes, they are locked up here, and those who are a little more delicate will do some light work, and those who are in good health will go to give and urine to those concubines who have been degraded here.
But few people who have entered the court can go out, and the only one who can still have an excellent reputation after entering the court in history is the queen who sacrificed her life in the previous dynasty.
That's because the queen is doing things for the court and the emperor, so she entered the court, and the emperor is reluctant to let the queen go, so he often visits the court, and the queen is not too bad in the court.
But the others are different.
Most of the slaves who have entered the court also have backers behind them, but there are no concubines who have entered the court, a heaven and a hell, life and death are just the masters of others, and it is not impossible to enter the court and the identity of the master and servant is reversed.
In the courtyard, people who can wear such good floral clothes......
"Chu Nian, have you noticed that this voice sounds more like ......" Mingyue silently compared her mouth to Chu Nian, Chu Nian understood what she meant, and motioned her not to continue.
The annoyance of Concubine Liang came from that convenience: "Who knows if you will help me when you go out, besides, the queen is still alive, how can I get you out of here?" ”
The hands that were exposed in the field of vision of Chu Nian and the others did not move, but several people felt that the person must be annoyed, and then they saw Concubine Liang's frightened face, as if watching the person approach little by little with danger but at a loss.
Mingyue couldn't see that her mother was afraid, and she was about to rush out with her hands clenched into fists, but she was stopped by Chu Nian, she looked at Chu Nian in astonishment, and saw Chu Nian shaking her head silently.
At this moment, Mingqiao also came up to grab the impulsive Mingyue, although she didn't know what was happening, she also understood that now was not the time for them to rush out.
Since Concubine Liang dares to trade with this person, she must have her own plans, and now they go out to get involved, if they don't do it, it will ruin Concubine Liang's affairs - although Chu Nian doesn't care, but after all, Concubine Liang is Mingyue's mother, after this day of getting along, although the two of them will not ignore their previous suspicions, Chu Nian still doesn't want to see Mingyue put herself in it so early.
For the invisible stranger, Chu Nian inexplicably had a gratuitous jealousy in her heart, at least with her current strength, she was not sure that she could save Mingyue and Concubine Liang before that person made a move.
At this moment, Concubine Liang's face had calmed down, and she breathed a long sigh of relief, "I can help you fight for a place to go out once, but if you want to completely recover your free body, you still have to solve my business first." ”
The man laughed twice, "Sister Concubine Liang is negotiating terms with me?" ”
A breeze blew, and even the three people hiding behind the rockery were panicked for no reason, and they saw Concubine Liang sitting on the cold ground with a puff, full of gorgeous clothes and a strong contrast with the embarrassed horror.
A woman's back appeared in the sight of Chu Nian and others, her body was delicate, she seemed to be weak and untouchable, but her hair was scattered on both sides of her shoulders, she was wearing a big red peony robe, and her black hair was mopping the floor in a few steps.
Her body swayed in an eerie amplitude, approaching Concubine Liang, who was cautiously retreating.
"Sister, do you think I really can't find anyone else besides you?"
"Killing the queen is just my hand, I naturally won't refuse this little favor, but Sister Liangfei, there are more people in the palace who want to kill people, and there are many people who want to kill without seeing blood, and now you are just a concubine who has fallen out of favor, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?"
"Sister, isn't it a big dream that the queen dies and you can sit on the phoenix chair? Don't say that there are three thousand beauties in the harem now, if you think the queen mother can favor you alone? ”
The woman screamed as if remembering something, "Oh, by the way, the prince is awake." ”
"Concubine Liang only needs to poison the queen by pretending to be someone else's hand, and she is personally helping to find the murderer, the prince is naturally grateful, in this way, you have removed the hatred in your heart, and you have been blessed by the prince, and you have escaped the guilt, why not......
Chu Nian glanced at Mingyue with mixed feelings, turned his eyes to look at Concubine Liang again, and saw a trace of surprise flashing in Concubine Liang's eyes, but it was well disguised as fright.
"Sister, why do you say that? You also know how the queen treated you and me back then, don't say that the one in your belly, didn't I fail to guard against it when I was pregnant with a dragon when I first conceived it? ”
Chu Nian looked a little surprised, she looked at Mingyue suspiciously, but she saw the same amount of doubt on Mingyue's face. Obviously, these things in the palace have been deliberately blocked, otherwise it would be impossible for even the later princesses not to know about it.
Obviously, if you want to know more reliable information now, you can only find it from the words of those two people.
"Heh, I was still a good concubine, Niangniang has long forgotten the hatred of the year, and I just want to live a peaceful and good life with Princess Mingyue, but I don't want to, Niangniang still remembers? Then you shouldn't know what I'm trying to do with this court. ”
Concubine Liang's expression looked a little gloomy and tired, she propped herself up and stood up straight, looking straight at the strange woman, but her steps kept leaning back, "I know, I will help you fight for a chance to go out first, and I hope you can fulfill your promise." ”
The man sneered, turned around and disappeared in place, Concubine Liang was ruthless, her eyes swept over the rockery where Chu Nian and the others were, and she also turned to leave.
Chu Nian looked thoughtfully at the direction in which the two disappeared, and was silent.
Mingyue on the side opened her mouth, but was blocked by Ming Qiao, Chu Niancai nodded, and the three of them turned around and left the place.
When Chu Nian and the others came out of the court, a figure suddenly appeared behind the rockery where they were originally located, if Chu Nian and the others were still here, they would definitely be able to recognize that this was the person who forced Concubine Liang to compromise.
At this moment, her face was covered by her long inky hair, revealing only a pair of eyes dyed with gloom. The man looked at the place where Chu Nian had just stood, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a playful smile: "The third mother of the Chu family? Heh, just a little ghost still trying to spy on what we and others think? But...... Playing with her would be a bit of fun......"
Chu Nian's attention was focused on a certain point behind him at the moment, where it seemed that someone was secretly following them with light skills.
"Chu Nian......" Mingyue opened her mouth: "Although the queen mother has indeed harmed me and my mother many times, the mother concubine has never said that she and the Wang family will be pulled off the horse, and she has not said that she will kill the queen." ”
Ming Qiao also looked puzzled, "What do they mean by what they say?" When did the queen mother harm whose dragon fetus? A gentle person like the queen doesn't look like a ......"
Chu Nian gritted her teeth and didn't speak, there was something in it that she missed, but she couldn't remember what it was.
Empress...... Concubine Liang...... Chu Nian frowned: "How many concubines do you know who were beaten into the court?" ”
Mingyue seemed to want to help her mother clear her name in front of Chu Nian, so she cooperated with Chu Nian very much and said: "There are only three people who have been beaten into the court after I was born, one is Concubine Zhao, Concubine Wan, and one is Chen Guifei, in addition, there is no more, and after Chen Guifei was beaten into the court, the queen did not give other concubines the title of concubine, it is said that Chen Guifei was beaten into the court because she caused a certain concubine to be stillborn." ”
Chen Guifei? Chu Nian raised her eyebrows, she was still Su Nian back then, and when she was thirteen or fourteen, there was indeed a Chen Guifei in the palace. It is said that this Chen Guifei is just a wild girl in the countryside, who was recruited into the palace by the Queen Mother, and because she is very good at pleasing the Queen Mother, she was named a concubine.
is also the first concubine in history without a background.
At that time, the queen was still young, and the harem concubines occasionally got favored, and those who were pregnant with dragons abounded.
If that person was really Concubine Chen, why did they say that the queen had harmed the dragon fetus?
Chu Nian did get information that the Queen Mother had indeed killed many harem concubines in order to keep the position of the foolish prince, and even many newborn princes died young, so to speak, Ming Xiu had stepped on his brother's blood since he was born to survive, but what does this have to do with the queen?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in front of Chu Nian's eyes, the Queen Mother will not do everything herself, she wants such a queen who obeys orders, isn't it just to be used as a gun? No wonder the queen always can't bear to do it when facing other concubines, it turns out that it is because of guilt in her heart?
But now it seems, what's going on with Chen Guifei?
At this time, Ming Qiao said softly from the side: "Chen Guifei, a concubine with no background, can live for so many years in the Ye Ting, which eats people upside down and does not spit out bones?" Still dressed so charmingly...... If it weren't for the crazy demon in her cloak, I would have suspected that she was doing better than Concubine Liang in the court. ”
Mingyue also frowned: "Mingqiao is not unreasonable......"
At this moment, Chu Nian had already walked to the gate of the palace, looking at the getting dark, she pursed her red lips, "It's too late, I should go back, I don't have a chance to enter the palace again these days, you should pay attention to the court." ”
Ming Qiao responded, and patted his chest by the way: "Don't worry, although the mother concubine is not here, I can do such a small thing by myself." ”
Mingyue glanced at her sideways, looked at Chu Nian seriously, and said, "I have something to say to you." ”
Chu Nian frowned before he said, "Third princess, you go back first." ”
Although Ming Qiao was puzzled, but in the end, one was a friend she identified and the other was her sister, and she really couldn't control what happened between them, so she had to nod and leave.
Mingyue retreated from the guards beside her, and then looked at Chu Nian seriously and said, "Today's matter, if it is my mother's fault, I am willing to bear it alone." ”
Chu Nian glanced at her, and the meaning in his eyes was unclear: "I don't know about the battle between Concubine Liang and the queen, and it has nothing to do with me, since you have made it clear, I don't need to hide it, you are so smart, you won't know the ultimate purpose of me and Ming Xiu." ”
She paused, looked at Mingyue, and her eyes showed a bit of appreciation: "At first, I thought you were just an innocent and arrogant princess, but now it seems that you have some judgment." ”
Mingyue knew that she was talking about her stammering behavior all day today, and she couldn't help but blush: "I just hope that I won't die too ugly under you, and besides, if there is really that day, please ...... it."
