Chapter 153: The Same Woman
"Princess Chen, the concubine has long heard from Xiangye that you are the best at business, and half of the tax revenue of this treasury is contributed by you, and the concubine has long wanted to know you, but she has never had a suitable opportunity, and she is worried about disturbing your work." Xie Shi smiled lightly.
"Mrs. Zuo Xiang said with a smile, if Shen Xiang can take over as King Yue, then you are also a princess, and you are naturally on an equal footing with this concubine." Chu Lixue said lightly.
The two of them chatted for a while, and slowly cut into the topic, they were originally two strangers, if they began to discuss how to deal with the common enemy as soon as they met, then the cooperation between them would be so shaky no matter how you look at it.
"Princess, the concubine doesn't understand why you want to help me and Xiangye, wouldn't it be better if you stayed out of this matter?" Xie asked softly.
Xie is a smart woman, dealing with Ken's husband who helps her like this, in addition to the request of the old Yue King, that is, she also has a plan, rather than being embarrassed by the time, it is better to put the chips on the table now.
"Since Mrs. Xiangye has said it to this point, then the concubine will not hide it, the concubine married into the palace for more than a year, I have heard a lot of rumors, one of which is that the current queen mother tampered with the edict of the first emperor and robbed the throne of King Chen, although the prince and the concubine don't care about the throne, but what the current emperor does is really chilling, and for him, the existence of King Chen is like a thorn in the back, maybe one day, he will be black, so, the concubine just hopes that if there is really that day, Xiangye, oh, no, it should be said that the future King Yue can protect the prince. ”
Hearing this, Xie bowed slightly, she had also heard King Yue and her husband say that the original emperor was King Chen, and it was the Queen Mother who tampered with the edict, and King Chen was not so keen on the throne, as long as the people lived a prosperous life and the world was peaceful, King Chen was already content. He wouldn't cause a misery for a chair.
Now listening to Princess Chen's meaning, I just hope that King Chen can protect him in a critical moment, that's all, but what about Princess Chen? Doesn't she need it?
"And what about you, Princess?"
"This concubine is a person from the Medicine King Valley, and the poison and poison powder are all carried with her, if you can dispose of those people, it will be fine, if you can't dispose of it, this concubine can choose to die, and she will not let them use this concubine to blackmail the prince." Chu Lixue said in a deep voice.
After listening to Chu Lixue's words, Xie Shi felt very heart-to-heart in her heart, and she was willing to block everything for her husband at a critical moment.
"The princess is brave and strategic, and she is a heroine among women. If King Chen has a wife like you, he will definitely be fine. Today, on behalf of Xiang Ye and Grandpa, I also assure you that if one day they want to murder King Chen, the Shen family will definitely not stand idly by. ”
Chu Lixue didn't expect that the Xie family would be able to agree so happily, and they could actually represent the old Yue King and Xiangye, it seems that they had a deep conversation last night.
"Okay, since Mrs. Xiangye is so honest, then this concubine and the prince will also do their best to assist Xiangye."
"However, now that Shen Yue has lived in the Yue Palace, it is inconvenient for us to do anything, and he also said that Shen Bin's own brother, I don't want him to get involved in such a cannibalistic thing."
Hearing this, Chu Lixue hooked her lips and smiled, "It seems that Mrs. Xiangye and Concubine Ben have the same thoughts." The concubine doesn't want the prince to take action personally, there are some shady things, the concubine will send someone to do it, as long as Mrs. Xiangye cooperates at that time. ”
"The princess should not always call the concubine by Mrs. Xiangye, the concubine's name is Xie Yao, and the princess can call the concubine's name." Xie Yao said with a smile.
The three girls who stayed by Chu Lixue's side were like being pointed, and they thought that the princess of her family was going to talk to this Xiangye lady in detail, how could they reach an agreement after chatting? That's a bit faster, isn't it?
"Princess, Mrs. Xiangye, did you come to an agreement like this?" Ning Xiang wondered.
"yes." Chu Lixue and Xie Yao said in unison.
"But ......" Ning Xiang really felt that the two of them hadn't said anything in detail at all, just a sentence that would be over when the time came? So how do you do that? Shouldn't you make a confession or something first?
Chu Lixue looked at Ning Xiang's contemplative appearance, and couldn't help but chuckle, "You girl, it's a good thing to think too much, but there is no way for me and Xie Yao to make it clear how to do everything before, because there are too many variables here, and this variable is Shen Yue, because we don't know if he will follow the route we designed to do it, if he has his own ideas, it is impossible for us to force it, so we can only watch it slowly." ”
In the palace, the emperor hugged Concubine Rou and sat on a high seat watching the people racing boats in the lake, the queen next to her was eager to kill Concubine Rou with her eyes, and Concubine Lan, who was sitting on her right hand, snorted coldly, these two women are really stupid, they are still fighting openly and secretly in front of the emperor, I don't know if these are the things that men are most disgusted by?
The reason why she didn't get angry with Concubine Rou is because she still has to be spoiled now, if she is disgusted one day, don't say that she is coquettish in front of the emperor, I am afraid that even if she appears in front of the emperor, she will cause death.
Concubine Lan's eyes looked in the crowd, and immediately, her eyes fell on King Chen, who was wearing his royal clothes today, and was chatting softly with Shangguan Tianyu in the next seat, and the two side concubines sitting behind him were left out in the cold, Fang Cai was still good to these two people, and it was left aside at this time, it seems that King Chen doesn't like these two women very much, and bringing them here today is just acting.
Suddenly, Concubine Lan's eyes found a new face among the crowd, that is Shen Yue, he came today behind Zuo Xiang's sedan chair, he had been stopped by the guards at the gate of the palace, who expected him to call Shen Bin the eldest brother in front of everyone, the guards heard it, since it was Zuo Xiang's own brother and the grandson of King Lao Yue, where was there any reason to stop it, so they also let Shen Yue in.
To say that this Shen Yue is indeed smart, Shen Bin talks and drinks with that official, he will have a few words without interjecting, or follow closely behind Shen Bin, like a dog skin plaster, and he can't shake it off.
When Zuo Xiang came to the seat of King Chen and Shangguan Tianyu, Shen Yue also followed, King Chen frowned slightly when he saw this, "Shen Xiang, your entourage is also too tight, the Liuyue next to this king doesn't dare to follow him on this occasion, so let's consider changing this entourage." King Chen said lightly.
Hearing this, Shen Yue's face was a little displeased, but in an instant, he changed to a smile, "His Royal Highness King Chen, I am Shen Yue, not the entourage of the eldest brother, I am Shen Rui's second son, I have been living in Cui Cinema City with my father and mother, this time I came back to see my grandfather and eldest brother, and I was close to them, this is not, today is the palace feast, and the eldest brother also brought me." ”
It's really a lie and doesn't make a draft, Shen Bin couldn't help frowning slightly, but he couldn't deny the relationship between them, and just as he was about to open his mouth to reprimand, King Chen took the lead and said, "Cui Studios? Then you have never lived with King Yue and Shen Xiang, you are so affectionate, this king still thinks you are very close. ”
These words were undoubtedly in front of Shen Bin, and slapped Shen Yue hard, Shen Yue originally thought that Shen Bin would give himself a head for the sake of face, but he didn't expect that Shen Bin looked like he didn't care about himself, and he didn't pay attention to him at all.
Shen Yue wanted to get angry with King Chen, but he thought of what his father had said to him before leaving, if he could get King Chen's support, then his chances of winning would be much greater. But he didn't think that this King Chen was so powerful, it was just a young prince drinking with a few nobles of the same age.
Concubine Lan could see that this Shen Yue seemed to be very close to King Chen, but King Chen was very repulsive to him, as long as it was someone King Chen didn't like, of course she wouldn't like it, and she would do everything she could to make this person no longer harass King Chen.
Love is sometimes blind and sometimes crazy. Just like the current Concubine Lan, she still can't recognize the reality, and she still thinks that she and King Chen will have results.
"Miaozhu, go and inquire, who is the person who always follows Shen Xiang." Concubine Lan explained softly to her maidservant.
"Yihan, this Shen Yue seems to be in a hurry." Shangguan Tianyu looked at the back of Shen Bin and Shen Yue leaving, and said softly.
"Yes, Shen Rui is really confused, he has been the city lord in Cui Cinema City all these years, he thinks it is too comfortable, Shen Yue has no merit and fame, and he has no familiarity with the court, why does he think that Shen Yue can snatch the throne from Shen Bin's hands?"
"Perhaps, he sent Shen Yue here to smoke at all. Fog. Bullet, he is the one who wants the throne, as long as he can become the king of Yue, then in the future, he will naturally give up the throne to Shen Yue, who has the blood of the Ruan family. And Shen Bin, an excellent son, he has long been left behind. ”
"Well, what you said is also what I think, it seems that this Cloud City will not be peaceful for a while, but I don't know how Lixue and Xie are talking now."
"You can rest assured about this, as long as it is something that the princess wants to promote, she naturally has a way. When the banquet in the palace is over, don't you go back and ask? Guess here, how many can you guess correctly. Shangguan Tianyu quipped.
King Chen hooked his lips and smiled, he knew his wife very well, if she really wanted to promote something, she definitely had the ability to do it, because there were already many people secretly helping her to do what she wanted to do.
When Chu Lixue returned to the mansion, she told King Chen the good news, since they had made up their minds to deal with Shen Yue, they had to let him obediently go back to Cui Ying City, and the Ruan family in Cui Ying City didn't seem to be a very clean place, so it was up to their friend, the lord of the Cold Moon Palace, to check and find out.
