The primeval relict piano on the case was given to her by Tian Zhaorong back then. This piano has accompanied her through countless lonely and long dark nights, and since Tian Zhaorong's accident, she has not touched this piano for a long time. Looking at this piano now, there is always a sense of regret that things are wrong.

Su Zhaoyi lowered her eyes slightly, and her fingertips lightly picked the strings: "So, even the best work in the capital is difficult to find out?" ”

Xu Chongyi stared at her, intentionally or unintentionally plucking the tea leaves suspended in the bowl: "She was strangled by cow tendons, and it is reasonable to disguise herself as hanging, and no one will notice it." ”

Su Zhaoyi glanced at her and sneered. It's okay to deceive ordinary people by pretending to kill him as suicide, but it is unrealistic to think about it if you want to deceive the eyes of the pretend. Cheng Jieyu's matter has already been convicted in the coffin, and her extra move is really adding to the snake.

Fingertips run over the strings, playing a dense string of notes, like a hanging spring and a waterfall, and the dense splashes of water flow down and stir on the smooth rocks.

"Will Xu Chongyi think things too simply?" She said.

"Could Zhaoyi be thinking about things too complicated?" Xu Chongyi asked rhetorically.

Su Zhaoyi glanced at her and said indifferently: "The world is complicated, and it is always good to be cautious." ”

Xu Chongyi said with a smile: "Although it is said that the Cheng family is nominally a monk to pray for the blessing of the country, but to put it bluntly, this monk cultivation is no different from claustrophobia. The emperor didn't want to mention her for a long time, and if a person like her dies a hundred, the emperor may not ask. This is just a trivial matter, and Zhaoyi doesn't need to take it too seriously. ”

Su Zhaoyi didn't think so, but she didn't say much, just lowered her eyes and stroked the qin.

Xu Chongyi saw that she didn't speak, and her face was a little embarrassed. She took a sip of the teacup, and said with a smile: "Actually, the concubine's move is not only for Zhaoyi, but also for the concubine herself." ”

Su Zhaoyi's face was not shocked, she knew that Xu Chongyi would not wade into the troubled waters in vain.

"What do you mean by that?"

Xu Chongyi said with a smile: "Cheng Jieyu doesn't know how to be respectful and inferior, and she angered Zhaoyi, and this matter is well known to the palace." The concubine has admired Zhaoyi for a long time, and she has never had a chance. This time I met Cheng Jieyu, and I just happened to be angry for my mother. ”

Su Zhaoyi stopped, stroked the strings, and smiled warmly: "Xu Chongyi won't help this palace in vain, right?" ”

Xu Chongyi smiled lightly, with a little shame on her face, like a spring girl. When Su Zhaoyi saw her like this, she also guessed a few points in her heart.

She washed her hands, wiped off the water with a towel, and took rose oil to apply it. The fresh rose juice soaked into the white skin, and when the sun shines, it is a little dazzlingly white.

"The emperor may not have come to the palace for a long time, and there are some things that the palace can't help you." She said.

Xu Chongyi was a little surprised, the emperor had just rewarded Su Zhaoyi with the right to manage the harem. It should be said that when Su Zhaoyi's holy family was in full swing, how could he say that the emperor had not come for a long time?

She stared at Su Zhaoyi's hand and said tentatively: "Zhaoyi's slender jade fingers are like soft wattles. When the emperor saw it, how could he not be tempted? ”

Su Zhaoyi smiled and tilted her chin slightly, Xu Chongyi looked in the direction she signaled, only to see a baby rocking car.

"This ......" Xu Chongyi bit her lip.

"You have also seen that the children of the Tian family are now raised here in the palace, and the emperor hates the Tian family deeply, so naturally he rarely visits the palace." Su Zhaoyi indifferently hooked the corners of her lips: "Managing the affairs of the harem, on the surface, it looks glamorous, but in fact, it is just an empty ornament, just bluffing." If she really has real power, how dare Cheng Jieyu openly bully the head of the palace? ”

Xu Chongyi stopped talking, staring at the stroller blankly.

"If you want to serve the emperor, the road of this palace is not going through, and Xu Chongyi has to choose another way."

Su Zhaoyi's rose oil tasted very strong, and it made people's minds dizzy, Xu Chongyi retracted his gaze and smiled at Su Zhaoyi. The smile was a little stiff and a little bitter. Su Zhaoyi saw it in her eyes, but she didn't see it.

"Zhixia, ask someone to give Xu Chongyi the ancient music piano in the palace and move it to the palace." Su Zhaoyi stroked Xu Chongyi's hand: "This piano is extremely rare, I heard that my sister is especially good at music, this piano is given to my sister, and it can be regarded as a beautiful woman with red powder." My sister will be free in the future, so I can come to the main palace to sit down. ”

Xu Chongyi saw that things could not be done, and he was not in the mood to chat with Su Zhaoyi anymore, so he sat down and went back.

Zhixia sent Xu Chongyi away, looking at the empty table, and felt a little regretful. That qin is a rare guqin, not to mention Su Zhaoyi, even her heart is reluctant. But after thinking about it, even if this piano is precious, it is just an old thing given by Tian Zhaorong. The emperor dislikes Tian Zhaorong, and her things are also a burden to stay by his side.

Su Zhaoyi held Tian's child in her arms and gently coaxed her, this child didn't cry or make trouble, and was very well-behaved. Maybe after a long time, he couldn't remember the appearance of his own mother, so he treated Su Zhaoyi as his mother. The little head leaned on Su Zhaoyi's arms, very attached.

Tian's case is the emperor's heart disease, and Concubine Xian is hindering it again, and she is hindered everywhere. The emperor and the concubine were caught in a dilemma. If it weren't for Su Zhaoyi coming forward to calm down the incident, I'm afraid that this matter would continue to ferment.

Although after taking the child back, the emperor never stepped into Su Zhaoyi's palace gate again, but after all, this child was exchanged for the power to manage the harem. Zhixia looked at Tian's child, feeling a little sentimental, this was probably the only valuable thing left by Tian's.

"Niangniang, let's let the slave and maid hug it?"

Su Zhaoyi glanced at her: "Are you worried that this palace will raise him like this, and he will be reluctant to part for a long time?" ”

Zhixia didn't speak, but in his heart he acquiesced.

She handed over the child to Zhixia to hold, loosened her muscles and bones, and said: "Fool, except for the concubine and the emperor in this palace, there is no third person worthy of our true feelings." ”

Zhixia was a little surprised: "The emperor is just that, the master trusts Concubine Liang like this?" ”

Su Zhaoyi slightly hooked the corners of her lips and said, "Didn't you see it?" Concubine Liang, if you have a sincere heart for her, she will treat her with a very sincere heart, she is stronger than Concubine Xian. If Concubine Xian is on the throne, I am afraid that this palace will never escape the fate of the chess pieces. But if Concubine Liang ascends the throne, she can't help but not treat the harem harem harem, but will persuade the emperor to be evenly wetted with rain and dew. Only by following her can Hongu have a chance to give birth to his own child. ”

"But if the master wants to help Concubine Liang ascend to the throne, why did he push Xu Chongyi away just now? One more person and one more strength, if Xu Chongyi takes refuge in Concubine Xian, won't we be victimized? ”

Zhixia stared at her with her eyebrows, since Su Zhaoyi had no real power just now, she held back her doubts. Xu Chongyi has already come to show her goodwill, why should she refuse to be thousands of miles away?

Su Zhaoyi silently glanced out the window, that person, she couldn't look down on.

Cheng Jieyu has no grievances with her, in order to please herself, she was able to strangle Cheng Jieyu to death with a ruthless hand. She thought she had helped a lot, but she didn't know that she was adding to the blockage of others. Cheng Jieyu has been expelled from the harem, and she has been hit by a fall again, won't the emperor suspect it? Won't the Cheng family pursue it?

Although the emperor abolished Cheng Jieyu, he did not depose the official surnamed Cheng. Now the turmoil has just subsided, and there are waves again. Once the Cheng family makes a fuss, and the emperor sends a servant to investigate thoroughly, he will definitely find out the truth about Cheng Jieyu's killing.

At that point, who will bear the brunt of the attack? Of course, it won't be the Xu Chongyi who faded out of sight. After such a big disaster, he actually came over to her and put forward conditions to her? It's ridiculous!

Su Zhaoyi sneered: "She is a little careful, and she is not worthy of carrying shoes for the palace." Just because she also wants to serve the emperor? I'm afraid that the emperor won't even bother to look at her. ”

Zhixia nodded: "That's right, just now when she heard her master say that she had no real power, her lost look was about to overflow from her face." ”

That's why she gave her the primeval relict qin, even if it blocked Xu Chongyi's mouth. lest Xu always remember this in his heart, as if she owed her a big favor.

Su Zhaoyi stood up and smoothed the folds on her dress: "If she is smart, she should go to Concubine Xian at this time." ”

Zhixia gently patted the child's back and asked, "Wouldn't this add branches and leaves to Concubine Xian?" ”

She smiled disappreciably, where is this adding branches and leaves, this is digging a trap around Concubine Xian. Cheng Jieyu was killed by Xu Chongyi's palace maid, and Xu Chongyi was the person of the virtuous concubine, so who would be the person who killed Cheng Jieyu? If the Cheng family takes the opportunity to quarrel with the Jiang family, it will be a good show again.

"Go, go, go, such old branches and rotten leaves will not do anything good, and will only accelerate their demise." She stroked the broken hair on her sideburns and said to Zhixia: "Let's go, let's take a look at Concubine Liang." ”

Xu Chongyi left Su Zhaoyi, and her whole heart fell into the dust, gray and uncomfortable. Su Zhaoyi made it clear that she was acting with herself, she had no real power, she didn't want to make her friend at all.

Isn't it just the custody of the harem? Isn't it Concubine Liang's lackey? There is not only a good concubine in this palace! Su Zhaoyi refused to accept it, she didn't want to take refuge anymore!

"Zhuying, send Su Zhaoyi's piano to the Xianfei Palace." With hatred in her heart, she rubbed the handkerchief tightly in her hand, almost crumpling the soft silk handkerchief into pieces.

Zhuying was stunned for a moment, a little hesitant: "Master, Concubine Xian used to be friends with Su Zhaoyi, she recognized Su Zhaoyi's things, you transferred Su Zhaoyi's things to Concubine Xian, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right?" ”

Inappropriate? That's what she wants! The two skins of the human mouth are made anyway. She Su Zhaoyi can act in front of herself, can't she act in front of Concubine Xian?

So the piano turned around and sent it to Concubine Xian's table. One side was covered with satin and rested upright in the piano case.

Ruixiang was a little embarrassed, she even knew this qin, not to mention how familiar Concubine Xian would be, it was the ancient relic that Tian Zhaorong gave to Su Zhaoyi.

Concubine Xian looked at the qin coldly, and only after a while did she ask: "This palace doesn't like music, what did Xu Chongyi do when he gave this palace a qin?" ”
