"Eldest Princess." Xu Guifei slowly withdrew her hand and said calmly: "Many times, the stories we weave don't need to be believed by everyone, just need to be known by those who are willing to believe, isn't it?" Besides, I've never admitted that I'm a reincarnated person, but I've always thought so since he misunderstood. โ
When Concubine Xu Guifei said about him, he naturally referred to the emperor.
In Xu Guifei's opinion, the emperor is indeed an infatuated person.
He likes that poor concubine, it can be said that he likes it to the core, but he is an extremely useless man, because he really doesn't even protect his own woman.
If he really didn't have the confidence to protect Concubine Lian in the first place, he shouldn't have dragged her into the palace.
But he is the emperor, and he is the most conceited man in the world.
In his eyes, as long as it is the person he wants, he deserves it, and will anyone dare to deal with the person he likes under his nose?
Unfortunately, the world is unpredictable.
The death of the concubine not only made him completely understand the fact that he couldn't protect his beloved at all, but also let him know that the open and secret battles between the women in the harem did not need to be less open and dark in the court.
Unfortunately, by the time he really understood all this, the man was already dead.
"Hongu has never believed in this." The eldest princess was silent for a while, and finally slowly spoke: "However, at that moment just now, this palace really hopes that you are the reincarnation of the concubine, or rather, this palace hopes that she is still alive, no matter what way." โ
"But you know, eldest princess, I'm just a stand-in." Xu Guifei shook her head, looked at the eldest princess seriously and said: "Someone used to make a fuss about this matter in front of the emperor before, wanting the emperor to kill me, but I didn't want to make the emperor start to suspect that I was the reincarnation of the concubine, and I became more and more kind, eldest princess, do you think I am a blessing in disguise." โ
"You never thought that not only were people jealous of you and wanted to harm you, but the person who sent you to the palace was actually a person with evil intentions?" The eldest princess remembered how Concubine Xu entered the palace in the first place, and couldn't help but ask, "But why are you still willing to do things for her?" โ
"I don't do things for anyone." When Xu Guifei heard the words of the eldest princess, she hesitated, but still said calmly: "Sometimes, people can't control their feelings at all, although they ...... The emperor was much older than me, and I knew very well that he was looking at another woman through me, but I still fell in love with him. โ
"Are you ...... the emperor" The eldest princess took a deep breath and asked with some hesitation: "Can he really tolerate you doing this?" After all, didn't she send you in just to ease the relationship between their mother and son? โ
"I didn't do anything." Concubine Xu Guifei blinked her eyes and said quite calmly: "When the Queen Mother sent me from the lowest-ranking palace maid to the emperor's pillow, she actually didn't expect the emperor to care so much about me, in fact, ...... By my side...... The emperor also arranged a secret guard for me to protect me, if something happens to me, the emperor will come to save me immediately, this is also the emperor's heart knot, right? โ
failed to save the poor concubine in time, so that the emperor was already a soldier.
When treating Xu Guifei, he naturally had more thoughts about protecting her.
"Dark Guard." The eldest princess glanced around, frowned slightly and said, "In front of the secret guard, you dare to say this, aren't you afraid that the emperor will know?" โ
"No, it won't." Xu Guifei shook her head and said: "The secret guard is only responsible for my safety on weekdays, when I have something, or when I talk to others, he will retreat far away, maybe in the emperor's opinion, he arranged this way only for the safety of protection, not to send someone to monitor me, he is afraid of being misunderstood by me." โ
The eldest princess listened to Xu Guifei's words, and she had to say that the emperor was indeed too considerate to Xu Guifei.
He seemed to have made up for all the regrets over the years on the woman in front of him.
It's no wonder that Concubine Xu will be tempted by the emperor, which woman is it, I'm afraid there is no way to refuse in the face of such an affectionate man, right?
What's more, from the very beginning, Xu Guifei was sent to the emperor.
Before that, the Queen Mother must have done everything possible to let Xu Guifei understand all the emperor's character, and even said that I am afraid that even the emperor's unknown small details will be clear to her, after all, the Queen Mother still very much hopes that Xu Guifei can replace the position of the poor concubine in the emperor's heart.
It's just that the Queen Mother probably never thought that the person she chose to send not only did not stand on her side, but because she fell in love with the emperor, she played the person in the emperor's heart more seriously, so that her traces could no longer be erased in the emperor's heart.
"Over the years, it's really hard for you." The eldest princess actually knew the queen mother's personality, if she had found out that Xu Guifei was not her person early on, I am afraid that she would have found a way to solve Xu Guifei a long time ago, where would she be allowed to live so freely.
From this point of view, unless there is only one possibility, that is, Xu Guifei is an extremely smart person, this kind of cleverness allows Xu Guifei not only to make the emperor believe everything she says to be true, but even the queen mother has lost her guard.
"Eldest princess, in fact, I came today mainly to persuade you not to go to see the Queen Mother." Xu Guifei poured out the tea that had been cold in the teacup, poured tea for the eldest princess again, and said seriously: "The queen mother has angered the emperor and His Royal Highness the war king at the same time, so no one will believe her, so the eldest princess ...... You don't have to worry about the Queen Mother, even if she is grounded, I'm afraid she won't admit her mistake. โ
Xu Guifei did not deny that she was indeed a little smart, nor did she deny how hard she had worked over the years, but in her opinion, it was all worth it, as long as she could be by the emperor's side and share his worries, it would be enough.
"You say, she angered the emperor and the war king at the same time?" The eldest princess was obviously puzzled by the problem, and immediately frowned and asked, "What did she say to the Battle King?" โ
"I don't know that." Xu Guifei shook her head, looked at the eldest princess and said: "Sometimes, it probably doesn't matter what you say, the important thing is whether others are willing to listen to you, when others are not willing to listen to everything you say, then even if you tell others the so-called truth, others will still think that what you say is false, right?" โ
The eldest princess was slightly stunned, and then understood what Xu Guifei meant.
Perhaps, the Queen Mother once made a lot of effort to convince the emperor of some of the truths she deliberately made, but in the past few days, this truth has been exposed.
Therefore, when the emperor and the king of war knew at the same time that the truth was false, I am afraid that no one would believe what the queen mother said.
"You are a rare sober person in this palace." After being silent for a long time, the eldest princess finally said faintly: "It's just that even if there is no queen mother, I'm afraid the problems you have to face will still exist, but in the eyes of this palace, maybe you don't care about those anymore." โ
"Eldest princess, how can there be any truly sober people in this world?" When Concubine Xu Guifei heard the eldest princess say this, she couldn't help but smile and shook her head and said, "In the past, I at least had the queen mother to protect me, but in the future, I'm afraid I will be struggling, right?" โ
"Then why don't you go and ask the emperor to release the queen mother?" The eldest princess looked at Xu Guifei thoughtfully and asked, "You are probably different to the emperor, maybe if you open your mouth, the emperor will also consider it, at least he won't treat the queen mother like this, right?" โ
"As the eldest princess saw, I don't want to embarrass the emperor." Xu Guifei looked at the heavy tea leaves in the teacup, and said lightly: "If the emperor wants to do something, then I will naturally always stand on the emperor's side, and no one can stop it." โ

At this moment, the Queen Mother's bedroom has indeed become extremely deserted.
In addition to the queen mother's most trusted Mama Qi, there are only a few palace maids left, but everyone knows that the queen mother has lost power, and those palace maids naturally know that they may never come out, and even said that when the queen mother is gone, they may also go to the funeral, so the atmosphere of the entire dormitory is depressed to the extreme.
"Leave them alone." The Queen Mother saw that Mama Qi wanted to scold those people, and said lightly: "Even if you force them to do something now, they just dare to be angry in their hearts, so why should you be angry?" โ
"Queen Mother, how can the emperor treat you like this?" Mama Qi is indeed very dissatisfied with the emperor's approach, no matter what the queen mother has done, in her opinion, the reason why the emperor can sit on the throne, and even today, is because of the queen mother's little calculation, and now she is grounded in this palace by the emperor?
"What's the difference between this and the mourning family's promise that he would never set foot in this palace from now on?" The Queen Mother closed her eyes slightly, and said lightly: "Now it's just a matter of replacing him to call the shots, when the child is older, he won't listen to what the mourning family says after all." โ
The Queen Mother turned the Buddha beads in her hand, as if she really didn't care about everything now.
But Mama Qi knows that the Queen Mother has always been an extremely ambitious person, even if she promised the emperor not to leave the palace back then, but she still knows everything about things inside and outside the court, how can such a person be willing to be treated like this?
"Niangniang, the old slave wants to find a way to meet Concubine Xu, right?" After all, Mama Qi couldn't help but ask: "Now that Concubine Xu has won the sacred heart, if she is willing to intercede for the Queen Mother, maybe the emperor will be shaken." โ
"Concubine Xu?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows slightly, slowly opened her eyes, looked at Mama Qi and asked, "Do you think that woman will come to help the mourning family?" For so many years, she seems to have done everything that the mourning family asked her to do, but if you really think about it carefully, which one is useful to the mourning family? A lowly person, who has probably been fascinated by the emperor for a long time, where will she remember the kindness of the mourning family to her at the beginning? โ
"Queen Mother, ...... of this Could there be any misunderstanding? When Mama Qi heard the Queen Mother say this, she asked a little puzzled for a while: "Didn't Niang Niang praise Concubine Xu Guifei for being a clear-minded person before?" Could it be that she has been deceiving her mother all along? โ
