Chapter 135: Entering the Game (2)
"I just heard that something happened in Lantai Palace, so the concubines rushed here, but I didn't expect the emperor to come before the concubines." Concubine Xian picked up the curtain to see Shen Yunzhen, and pretended to be concerned: "How is Yue Meiren's condition?" Concubine Xian's eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if she really cared about Shen Yunzhen's condition.
Gestures! Nan Jingpei stared at this face, only to feel more and more disgusted.
"She's very weak, and I heard it's because she's eating too little." Nan Jingpei looked at Concubine Xian intently and asked, "Does Concubine Xian know why?" ”
Concubine Xian's eyes flickered slightly, and a thief, even if he was good at covering up, would reveal a little weakness.
She frowned and said, "Sister Xu was suddenly beaten into the cold palace, her mind was depressed, and she had no intention of eating, right?" Now that the emperor cares more about his sister, she can get better soon. ”
Concubine Xian has always been good at scene talk, but this person is not a fairy, how can she walk by the river without getting her shoes wet? If there are too many words in the scene, sooner or later it will be disgusting, and Concubine Xian is no exception.
The scene itself is not the original sin, but hypocrisy is the original sin. Nan Jingpei squinted at her for a while, vaguely understanding why Concubine Shu hated her so much at the beginning. Compared to her, Concubine Shu is really a small thing. In terms of acting on the spot, Concubine Xian should be called the best in the harem.
"I naturally care about her, I have always cared about her, and the cold and heat are constant." Nan Jingpei squeezed Shen Yunzhen's hand tightly, and there was a chilling cold light in her eyes.
Concubine Xian's mind is lively, and she won't fail to hear the meaning outside the strings, and her heart can't help but chuckle. He cared about her all the time? Concubine Xian bit her lip slowly, and her fingers unconsciously clenched into a fist.
So what the emperor meant, did he see everything she did to Shen Yunzhen?!
"I originally thought that the harem women were like sisters, and if one palace was lost, others would flock to it. Unexpectedly, from beginning to end, only Concubine Xian patronized Lantai Palace. Nan Jingpei smiled coldly: "It seems that in this palace, the only one who cares about Yue Mei as much as I am is Concubine Xian." ”
"This ......" Concubine Xian was speechless for a while, and a chill appeared in her heart. Is he accusing her of being the only person in the palace who treats Shen Yunzhen harshly? It's a terrifying thought.
Her heart slowly contracted, and her surprised gaze slowly moved to Nan Jingpei's face. She looked at the man in front of her in astonishment, he had already seen through her! She has pretended to be virtuous and virtuous for so many years, but she was exposed in front of him.
"Your Majesty, concubine...... The concubine is the head of the harem and should also be an example of the harem. On behalf of the harem sisters, come to see Yue Meiren, which should also be divided. She felt that her defense was weak, but she had to defend again.
Nan Jingpei smiled faintly: "Concubine Xian is wrong, the head of the harem can only be the queen of the middle palace, and now the back position is vacant, who can afford to be the head?" There are many women in the palace, and they have different ideas, who can represent whom? ”
Concubine Xian bit her lip and couldn't say a word. If she were to look in the mirror, she would probably see a face that looked like ashes.
"The concubine is gaffe, the concubine is ......"
"Concubine Xian has always been obedient to the discipline of her subordinates, what is wrong now? actually connived at the evil slave to oppress the lord of Lantai Palace? After such a long time, even I have heard of it, doesn't Concubine Xian know anything about it? The palace guards had already punished those guards for this matter, and if the virtuous concubine understood the matter, she should also discipline her subordinates, but why did those guards treat Lantai Palace even more harshly? ”
He wouldn't let her explain!? Concubine Xian was shocked, was he so anxious to cover his coffin?
Concubine Xian faintly began to regret that she made a mistake in this move, a big mistake! All this is a bureau arranged by him himself! He led her into the game and tore off her disguised mask with his own hands! He has been encouraging her in a conniving way, and it was he who personally lured her to hurt Shen Yunzhen!
"I didn't say before that I would imprison Yue Meiren, why did Concubine Xian send so many guards to block the Lantai Palace? Why did he secretly instruct the guards to guard the food and drink of the Lantai Palace, and refused to let go of even the water and charcoal. Yue Meiren hasn't offended you before, why is Concubine Xian so vicious that she has to kill her? ”
Nan Jingpei's series of questions forced Concubine Xian into a corner, and she had no room for defense. Concubine Xian's face was as pale as paper, and her lower lip was tightly clasped by snow-white teeth, and she bit it without blood.
"The concubine is wronged!" She blurted out, her body and voice landing almost simultaneously. She knelt in front of Nan Jingpei, like a gauze that had fallen to the ground.
Nan Jingpei glanced at Xiao Shunzi: "You say." ”
Xiao Shunzi bowed her head and responded: "Back to the emperor, when Concubine Xian Niangniang blocked Lantai Palace, she said that my master was the daughter of a criminal minister and should have been executed, but she would not easily take the master's life, and she would slowly torture the master." ”
"You talk nonsense!" Concubine Xian was furious, her two slender eyebrows rose slightly, and her voice was also an octave higher.
"You are presumptuous!" Nan Jingpei stared at Concubine Xian.
She trembled all over her body, the last time she saw such a look was when he gave the order to dispose of Concubine Shu. In the end, she is smarter than Concubine Shu, and she will not be ignorant of advance and retreat. She knew that Nan Jingpei had seen through her, and there was no room for her to defend herself, so she no longer refuted, and sat down on the ground dejectedly.
Nan Jingpei glanced at her disapprerovingly, turned his head and said to Xiao Shunzi: "Lantai Palace will be released from seclusion on the same day, and the existing guards of Lantai Palace will be strictly handled. ”
"Your Majesty ......" Concubine Xian was dumbfounded.
She has been with Nan Jingpei for many years and knows his temperament well. Qubbling and shouting injustice will only completely anger him, and he must take a step back in order to escape the ascension to heaven.
She slowly bowed down: "The concubine is guilty, the concubine deserves to die, and I ask the emperor to forgive me and give the concubine a chance to mend her life." ”
Nan Jingpei sneered disapprelicly, Concubine Xian is really a smart person, if the original Concubine Shu had half of her intelligence, she would not have ended up like that.
"Take your slaves and maids back, meditate on your own mistakes, and you can't enter and leave Zhaotai Palace at will without a call."
She trembled and helped Ruixiang's hand out, moving her steps stiffly, her skirt rustling against the green bricks. The afternoon sun was particularly dazzling, shining on her whole body.
Ruixiang held Concubine Xian's hand, feeling the palm wet, Ruixiang raised her head and saw that her body was trembling like chaff.
"Mother, are you okay?" Ruixiang asked cautiously.
She didn't speak, moved her legs with her head stuffy, and finally walked out of Lantai Palace, and Concubine Xian slowly stopped. This small palace is so long today. She finally left the place of right and wrong, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Concubine Xian slowly closed her eyes and said, "Ruixiang, I lost so badly." ”
Ruixiang bit her lip and said comfortingly: "Master, don't worry, the surname Shen is just a beauty, we have a way to deal with her." No matter how rampant she is, can she still be crazy about Concubine Shu? Concubine Shu was defeated by us? This woman is just winning the emperor's sympathy, and according to the slave maid, she has no skills, and she may not be able to overpower you. ”
She looked at Ruixiang blankly, this little girl didn't know where she was defeated and who she lost to.
The warm wind hit her face, and her hair was dizzy from the steam. On both sides are tall and long palace walls, and you can't even find a shade to enjoy the shade. The sun burned her face and stinged her skin.
Ruixiang was still chattering: "Isn't it just pretending to be sick?" If the mother is sick, the emperor will also be more concerned. No, we still have a princess. ”
When she heard this, she couldn't help but tremble, and looked at Ruixiang in horror. She finally understood why Concubine Shu had done something to her infant baby in the first place. are all helpless people in the deep palace, maybe the original concubine is the same as herself today, and there is no way to retreat.
"She is sick now, and the emperor cares about her, so naturally she believes whatever the emperor says." Ruixiang held Concubine Xian with one hand and raised the other hand above her head to shield her from the sun.
"You don't understand." Concubine Xian laughed, but it was mixed with a trace of bitterness, which spread to the bone marrow, and the bitterness was thorough.
"Concubine Shu collapsed, and the Xiao family perished. Now it's the turn of the main palace and the Jiang family. ”
Ruixiang's face trembled, and her voice trembled: "Niangniang, what did you say?" ”
She couldn't help laughing at herself, she had endured it for so many years in order to get to the position of a virtuous concubine, she had to pretend to be gentle and frugal in front of outsiders, and she had to pretend to be indisputable in front of Nan Jingpei. However, Nan Jingpei just set up a game, so she didn't hesitate to get into it.
In this way, she was seen through by him, all her disguises were exposed, and years of hard work were in vain.
From the moment she ordered the Lantai Palace to be blocked, she fell into his net. He knew that she had imprisoned Shen Yunzhen, but he connived at her, he just wanted to see who in the palace would fall into Shen Yunzhen's grounds, so she surfaced. She treated Shen Yunzhen harshly, and he ignored him. He just wanted Shen Yunzhen to fall into a desperate situation, and then he would come to the snow to send charcoal again. In this way, Shen Yunzhen will rely on him in every way. From beginning to end, he was watching from the wall, this is her emperor.
She finally understood his thoughts, but it was too late.
If Shen Yunzhen takes the opportunity to reconcile with the emperor and use the emperor to deal with her! Concubine Xian shuddered, not daring to think further. Will she end up like Concubine Shu? In the end, will the Jiang family be the same as the Xiao family, defeated? !
She slowly covered her mouth, a trace of regret in her heart. Perhaps, she shouldn't have fought with Concubine Shu at all, if there was still the Xiao family, the Jiang family could still be used by the emperor as a pawn to fight against the Xiao family. Now that the Xiao family is destroyed, the emperor can finally turn the gun and clean up the Jiang family!
She can't sit still, never! She grabbed Ruixiang's hand tightly, and her five fingers strangled Ruixiang's hand into red marks.
"He must have known something, that's why he set up a situation to harm me, he must have known!" Concubine Xian grabbed Ruixiang's clothes: "Quickly send someone to tell my father the news, so that he can make plans early!" Didn't King Shin want to marry our family? Promise him, promise him! ”
"But the emperor is staring at us, and our news can't reach the palace at all!" Ruixiang saw that Concubine Xian was really frightened, and she was also afraid.
She struggled to compose herself, and a thin figure gradually appeared in her mind.
"Find him!"
