Chapter 123: Strife
Han Yan entered the hall, and she didn't know what it was, she looked at the back of Changle leaving, and her face inadvertently showed a little joy, "Master, what did you just say to the third lady?" The slave and maid looked at her......"
"Get on your knees."
Chang'an's voice was cold without a trace of temperature.
Han Yan was about to hesitate to speak, but Wan Xiang quietly pressed her beside her, "The master asks you to kneel, you kneel first." ”
Hanyan didn't dare to say much, so he had to kneel in front of Chang'an honestly.
"Have you forgotten what Hongu said? This palace didn't let you send the cold medicine to the Xiangyi Palace, why do you want to make your own decisions?! ”
When Hanyan heard this, he immediately knelt in front of Chang'an, and tried his best to argue, "Master Mingjian, the slave and maid didn't do it, and the slave and maid really didn't do it......"
Chang'an looked at her, but his eyes were indifferent, "Hanyan, in the first few years of entering the palace, you were framed by Concubine Shu because of the same thing, and you fell to Shang Fangsi." Don't you remember what you suffered in it now? After all these years, do you want to do it all over again? Although this palace is the queen, the grace is not as good as it was back then, it was able to save you once back then, and now it is difficult to save you a second time. ”
As soon as Han Yan heard the three words "Shang Fangsi", she was almost uncovered for a long time, she shook her head busily, and tears of bean size slid down her cheeks, "Master, the slave and the maid don't have it, the slave and the maid really don't have it...... What the master has not commanded, the slave and maid will not dare to do until death......"
Seeing this scene, Wan Xiang couldn't bear it in her heart, she quietly walked to Chang'an's side, and said in a low voice, "Master, according to the slave maid, what Sister Hanyan said seems to be true, maybe we misunderstood." ”
Chang'an was moved to cry when he saw Hanyan, and he was also moved by compassion. Hanyan has been by her side for fifteen years, giving up the opportunity to marry someone out of the palace, and accompanying her from the side concubine of King Lin'an to the queen above 10,000 people. Between her and Hanyan, she has already surpassed the love of master and servant. After so many ups and downs, the only person she can fully trust is Hanyan.
Thinking of this, Chang An sighed slightly, stretched out his hand and pulled her up, "Hanyan, you seriously said a word to this palace, did you really not do it?" ”
Han Yan held Chang'an's hand and shook his head firmly, "The slave doesn't." ”
Chang'an's face sank slightly, and his mind was difficult to calm down, "Since you didn't do it, then Changle's matter will not be complained about this palace." ”
Hanyan wiped away her tears and asked softly, "Is this why the third young lady came to find the master for this matter?" ”
Chang An sneered coldly, silently letting her thoughts wander, "She suspected that Bengong did it, so she came here to question Bengong." ”
Han Yan was stunned when he heard this, "Then in this palace, who is going to harm the third lady?" ”
"Master." Wanxiang's eyes moved, and she leaned lightly on Chang'an's side, her tone was calm and gentle, "Do we want to check what is here?" ”
"No need." Chang An leisurely flicked the ring on his finger, his eyes drooped slightly, "Someone wants to harm her, but it can be regarded as letting her see how difficult it is to live in this harem." ”
"But she's suspicious of us......"
"Then let her be suspicious." Chang'an lightened his complexion and smiled disapprovingly, "Changle wants to compete for favor, and she has long stopped taking the eldest sister of this palace in her eyes, whether it is or not, she will be suspicious of this palace." ”
Wanxiang lowered her eyes slightly, and said, "Yes." ”
Changle returned to Xiangyi Palace, so angry that he smashed the porcelain vases on the shelf, Yixiang followed behind him and slowly tidied up, Wen Yan said loudly, "Don't be angry, little master, wait for the emperor to come, let's tell the emperor about this, and let the emperor make the decision for you......"
Before the words fell, Changle smashed another glass jade bottle and scolded angrily, "What do you say?!" This palace is also stupid to see you, she is the queen, there is no evidence in this palace, even if you tell the emperor, the emperor may not believe it! ”
"Little master, then let's ......"
"Yo, this palace can be heard outside, such a big movement, what is Xiu Yuan doing?" Zhong Yuxiu held Jiang Xin's hand and walked slowly into the hall with a smile.
Changle calmed his breath and saluted, "I've seen Concubine Shuniang." ”
After that, her eyes suddenly fell on Jiang Xin's body, and she said with a hint of doubt, "Lanxiang beside Concubine Shuniang, why hasn't she been waiting by Niangniang's side these days?" ”
Yuxiu's eyebrows were slightly stunned, and she soon smiled as usual, "That girl Lan Xiang doesn't understand the rules, and she made something wrong, so she sent the palace out of the palace." ”
A secret smile appeared on Changle's face, and he said calmly, "That must be something terrible, otherwise Lan Xiang has been by the side of Niangniang for so many years, and she can't just leave the palace casually." ”
Yu Xiu glanced at her, not wanting to talk to her, but instead caught a glimpse of a mess on the ground, and couldn't help but say, "Who is Xiu Yuan angry with?" ”
"Nothing. The concubine is just in a bad mood and drops something to relieve her anger. After that, Changle's gaze turned, but his mouth gradually became indifferent, "It's just ...... The concubine hasn't asked Niangniang yet, and after so many days, I haven't seen Niangniang coming, why did she come to this Xiangyi Hall today? ”
Yuxiu sneered, and said unconsciously with sourness, "If this palace doesn't come here, where else can I go?" Isn't it possible to go to Taoyao Palace and see the face of the queen? ”
Changle smiled slightly, and then instructed Yixiang instead, "Tell others to come in and clean up, and you go and serve tea to the palace and the concubine." ”
Yixiang bowed her head gently, and Yuxiu and Changle sat down together. Yuxiu fiddled with the pearl and jade earrings in her ears, half-hanging her cheeks and said, "I really didn't expect that Shen Changan would become the queen in such a quick time, and now it will not be easy for this palace to bring her down." ”
The corners of Changle's lips hooked up a smug smile, and he sighed, "If Concubine Shuniang could listen to her concubines, the eldest sister would not have sat on the phoenix seat so easily." ”
Yuxiu glanced at her coldly, her words full of disdain, "In the final analysis, Shen Changan is also a member of your Shen family, she is the queen, and your ancestors also have light, what are you dissatisfied with?" ”
Changle was silent, just took the tea brought by Yixiang and took a sip gently.
Seeing that Changle didn't answer, Yuxiu looked Changle up and down with his eyes slightly, and said with a chuckle, "This palace can see it, and I can't complain that you are unhappy." Your eldest sister became the queen, your younger sister, but she really didn't get any benefits, and she still lived in this remote Xiangyi Palace, and she didn't even have a promotion, you look at our clothes, and then go and see the queen's clothes and jewelry, but it's really 108,000 miles away. ”
Changle was annoyed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but said with a decent smile, "Why haven't you seen the concubine?" The concubine has just come back from Taoyao Palace, the queen mother, but we can't compare. ”
When Yuxiu heard this, a trace of shock flashed in her eyes, "Haven't you always disliked the queen's mother?" What else are you going to do with her? ”
Changle smiled coldly, "Does Niang Niang think that the concubine is going there to invite merit and flattery?" She used that trick to harm people, and no one is allowed to say that she can't do it? ”
Yu Xiu raised her eyebrows slightly, and a look of horror immediately appeared on her face, "What did the queen do?" ”
Changle just wanted to speak, but the sourness in her heart swarmed, she had to take a sip of tea to calm her mind, and said forcefully, "She has the eldest prince and the fourth prince under her knees, and she has the throne of the queen, of course, I think that the position of the prince is within reach." But she is not very favored in the end, in order to prevent this weight, she can only do some means to make others unable to get pregnant. ”
Yuxiu was shocked, and immediately covered her lips with her sleeves, frowning unconsciously, "How could the queen mother do such a thing?" ”
"I'd like to know, too." Changle was so angry that his lips trembled, and his brows tightened, "She is the queen and the master of the harem, how can she be so jealous?" ”
Yu Xiu straightened the jade ornament on her sideburns, and quickly calmed down, "What is the most beneficial thing for the queen mother, don't we all know?" Women have to rely on their heirs, the queen mother is over thirty years old, and the good years are long gone, only the two princes under her knees can rely on, if she doesn't have a snack on this matter, what else can she rely on? ”
Changle opened his deep eyes, his gaze was cold and thorough, "She is the queen, even if her son is not the prince, she is also the queen mother." ”
"You're wrong, she's the queen, not the queen." The corners of Yuxiu's lips were slightly hooked, and she settled down, and said word by word, "The queen of Da Chu is Li Shushen, only Queen Li is the emperor's wife, and Shen Changan is just the successor, in the heart of the queen mother, she is not the main room, and she is not as good as the first queen." When the new emperor ascended the throne, she was not her biological mother, and she could only be enshrined as the biological mother of the former empress and the emperor, as for Shen Chang'an, it was unknown. ”
When Changle heard this, a slight smile appeared on his gloomy face, and he slowly spoke, "Then what we have to do now is to prevent the crown prince from ascending to the throne." The eldest prince is the queen mother, so we naturally can't move and can't move. There is only one fourth prince from the queen's mother, as long as the four princes are guarded against, won't there be hope for the five princes of the lady concubine? ”
Yuxiu smiled quietly, "Xiu Yuan is so thoughtful. ”
After that, the corner of her eye inadvertently glanced at Jiang Xin on the side, and Jiang Xin was immediately frightened.
Zhong Yuxiu retracted her gaze and said gently, "Xiu Yuan is resting, so the palace will not disturb it for now." ”
Out of the gate of Xiangyi Palace, Yuxiu looked around, saw that there was no one around, and immediately called Jiangxin to his side, and said sharply, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Jiang Xin clenched his fingers tightly and said hesitantly, "Niangniang, Shen Xiuyuan is already suspicious, the medicine ...... Do we want to let it go? ”
Zhong Yuxiu's eyebrows jumped, and she immediately lowered her voice, "No need." What's more, Lanxiang is no longer there, who has the ability to do such things again? ”
With a humble look, Jiang Xin said silently, "If the mother is at ease, the slave can ......."
"I don't have to do it anymore." Yuxiu raised her eyebrows, becoming more and more displeased, "She won't drink that kind of fetal pill anymore, this palace will only cause trouble." What's more, she has been drinking for more than half a year, and she can't easily conceive a child, which is enough. ”
"But, Niangniang, aren't you afraid that Shen Xiuyuan will have another prince and compete with our five princes for the crown prince?"
Yuxiu smiled secretly, but her face didn't move a little, "Then let's see if she has this life." ”
