Chapter 640: Princess Qi wakes up
Empress Qi nodded solemnly to Emperor Jingming: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will go and talk to Concubine Xian in person." β
When the queen left, Emperor Jingming pondered: Don't you need the queen to say it in person, is the queen too concerned?
Interested? For the Empress, of course, it does not exist.
In this cold palace, there is no good stubble, and the queen who seems to be indisputable is no exception.
The queen has no children, and no prince will be able to shake her position if she wins in the future, but it is still different when it comes to which prince.
For example, King Qi, the mother concubine is the virtuous concubine of the lord of the first palace, and the maternal grandfather's family is the Anguo Mansion of the founding meritorious service, once the King of Qi wins, even if the queen sits firmly on the queen's throne, the virtuous concubine will become an existence that makes her jealous. When King Qi succeeds to the throne in the future, Concubine Xian will inevitably become the Queen Mother of the West, and at that time, the mother and son of the people are deeply in love, and she, the Queen Mother of the East, may only be able to cool off.
The status of the queen mother is indeed respected, but this respect is given by the emperor, a queen mother who has no feelings with the emperor, the so-called respect is just an empty shelf.
In the final analysis, there is only one master of Da Zhou, and that is the man sitting on that dragon chair.
And if it is replaced by a prince with a humble background or even no concubine, the threat to the queen is undoubtedly much smaller.
The queen knew all this, and seeing that King Qi had caused Emperor Jingming's displeasure today, Princess Qi had made a big mistake, and she was in a good mood, and she was very willing to inform Concubine Xian of the news.
Concubine Xian was a little uneasy at the moment.
The headache has not improved in the past two days, and today is the day when the fourth daughter-in-law and the seventh daughter-in-law make an appointment to go to the incense.
At this time, if something happens, there should be news coming in.
Concubine Xian was afraid of revealing clues, but she didn't dare to send someone out to inquire indiscriminately today, lest Princess Yan's accident make people suspect that she would come to Yuquan Palace.
A maidservant girl came in and reported: "Niangniang, the queen is here." β
Concubine Xian was stunned, then came back to her senses, and stood up to greet her.
The queen had already walked in, and when she saw Concubine Xian struggling to get up, she hurriedly said, "You are still sick, so don't get up." β
Concubine Xian insisted on getting up to salute the queen, and said with a smile: "How can it be so serious, the ceremony cannot be abolished." β
The queen pursed her lips: "Sister Concubine Xian is a courtesy." How do you feel today, are you feeling better? β
"My head still hurts occasionally, but it's better than the previous two days." Concubine Xian said and asked the queen to sit down, speculating about the queen's intentions.
The queen took a sip of the hot tea offered by the maidservant, put down the teacup and said, "Today, Princess Qi and Princess Yan went to Baiyun Temple to offer incense, and something happened. β
Concubine Xian's hand holding the teacup trembled, a drop of hot tea splashed on the back of her hand, and she smiled forcefully: "What's wrong?" Don't scare me, Queen. β
I can't help but be overjoyed in my heart: it seems that the fourth daughter-in-law has succeeded!
As soon as Jiang died, the bastard of Lao Qi would have to be honest for a while, and when she turned around, she would pick a niece from her mother's family to fill the house for Lao Qi, and slowly coax Lao Qi, even if Lao Qi didn't have the intention of helping Lao Qi for a while, at least she would not be as centrifugal as she is now.
As for the fourth daughter-in-law, she has the handle to kill the Jiang family, and she will not be able to hold it in the future.
Such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, Concubine Xian is secretly happy.
The queen patted Concubine Xian's hand and reminded: "If I say it, Sister Xianfei must be steady, she is already sick, but she can't be in a hurry to get angry-"
"The queen said bluntly, I can stand it." Concubine Xian pretended to be nervous.
The queen sighed: "On the way back, the two princesses encountered a startled horse, and Princess Qi almost fell off the cliffβ"
"What, Princess Qi?" This time, Concubine Xian's shock was not faked, and her pupils suddenly dilated.
Did she hear it wrong?
Seeing the queen's surprised face, Concubine Xian hurriedly remedied: "Princess Qi is okay, right?" What about Princess Yan? β
"Princess Qi was hanging on the edge of the cliff and was rescued by the guards who arrived, and Princess Yan was fine."
Concubine Xian hid her disappointment and breathed a sigh of relief on her face: "It's good that both of you are fine." β
The queen sighed again: "There is still something, Princess Qi has broken her appearance." β
Concubine Xian's mouth was open, and her eyes flickered.
People are not dead but broken? It's a bit of a hassle.
"Shuntian Mansion Yin found out that this surprise was not an accident, but Princess Qi instructed someone to kill Princess Yan-"
"What?" Concubine Xian stood up suddenly, her face changed drastically, her body trembled uncontrollably, and then a cone-like headache struck, causing her body to shake.
The queen hurriedly stretched out her hand to support Concubine Xian and persuaded: "Sister Xian, don't worry, hold steady-"
Concubine Xian's remaining reason controlled her and she didn't scold.
Hold your fart, what the hell is going on?
She can see that the queen has come to see her jokes!
Thinking of this, Concubine Xian calmed down for no reason, took a deep breath and said, "Can the queen tell me the ins and outs carefully?" β
The fourth daughter-in-law shouldn't have involved her yet, otherwise it wouldn't be the queen who came to tell her about it, so she couldn't panic.
The queen felt that it was almost over, so she explained the matter in detail.
Hearing the end, Concubine Xian moved her chapped lips: "So, the emperor will not allow Princess Qi to see people in the future?" β
The queen nodded: "This kind of thing happened, after all, it is not good to hear it, and it can only be done for the sake of royal decency." β
Concubine Xian moved her lips, her expression was gloomy, and after a while, she raised her forehead and said, "Queen Mother, I have a headacheββ"
The queen stood up very wisely: "Then Concubine Xian's sister have a good rest, you have to relax about Princess Qi's affairs, and your body is important." β
As soon as the queen left, Concubine Xian sat down on the bed, her expression changed.
Lee's is a thing that is not enough to succeed and more than to lose!
The only thing to be thankful for is that Li has not woken up yet, and he will not be able to see outsiders in the future, so he doesn't have to worry about Li saying something that should not be said.
But the fourth child has no children, and there is a deranged princess, what will I do in the future!
No, the Li family is just "crazy", but no, she can't be allowed to occupy the position of Princess Qi all the time.
Concubine Xian suddenly felt that although Jiang didn't seem to be successful in her calculations, it was not bad to replace Princess Qi, and she would go back and give the fourth child a good stepfamily and a few more sisters-in-law, which was better than any foil.
But if you want Li to die, it's not okay yet, you have to wait until the turmoil has passed and no one pays attention.
On the side of the Qi Palace, Princess Qi finally woke up.
She moved her eyelids and opened them, and what greeted her was not a familiar ornament.
"Where is this?" Princess Qi, who was not yet fully awake, asked subconsciously.
On the way back from Baiyun Temple, those thrills seemed to have been forgotten for a while.
The maidservant who replied was also an unfamiliar face: "Princess, this is Youjian Hall." β
Youjian Hall is located in the northwest corner of the Qi Palace, which is a perennial locked courtyard, very remote and quiet.
Princess Qi suddenly came to her senses when she heard these three words, and struggled to get up: "What about the prince?" β
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and then King Qi pushed the door in, staring at the awakened Princess Qi with an expressionless face.
