Ning Ming didn't expect Cui Yue to give up after just a few provocations, and said strangely, "Today you are calm, I thought you would not be able to help it." ”

"I just saw her the moment I suddenly understood that in the current situation, no matter how strong or weak, none of us can help anyone, she can't kill me, I can't kill her, it's useless to fight. ”

Ning Ming said with a smile, "General Cui often writes to ask about your current situation, and it seems that I can write back to him, saying that you will not die in a big disaster, and you have made great progress." ”

Speaking of her brother, Cui Yue sighed, she thought she could help the two brothers achieve great things, but she didn't expect that her lack of mental strength would drag them back and cause her cousin to fall short.

"In the past, I didn't see the situation clearly, thinking that the world was all in our control, this time, let me see a lot of characters, I know that everything is variable, overconfidence, is the bane, now my cousin's manpower in Chu Jing is seven or eight out of ten, the rest, are the most important, not because of my personal grudges, ruined the plan, endure for a while, can become a big thing. ”

Ning Ming also said, "Indeed, now that the Shang State has been caught, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has adopted the method of borrowing strength, the Chu State will definitely not be easy to achieve, and we are bound to pay a great price." ”

"Cousin will figure it out, but what can we do now?"

"People's hearts are unpredictable, we can't control people's hearts, but we can secretly guide, whoever is in power, there is no one who is not suspicious, although Xie Ling seems to be infinitely beautiful, but most of his meritorious deeds are his own opinions, such grace comes from the trust of Emperor Chu, once Emperor Chu begins to be jealous of this capable Xie Shilang, then his road will not go far. ”

Although Cui Yue felt that this plan was feasible, it was not easy, and he couldn't act rashly now, "Even if Emperor Chu is jealous, but the prince of Chu has not been established, and Emperor Chu is old and frail, and now he must trust Xie Ling, I am afraid that this matter will be difficult." ”

"When the power is alternated, the situation changes, no one can say who will be the next person in power, last time, I am afraid that Emperor Chu has found out that Xie Ling and King Jun have a good relationship, as long as he thinks that Xie Ling intends to meddle in the affairs of the prince, he will definitely be displeased, we can see the needle, King Ye, King Ling, King Jun, and even King Duan, as long as it can consume Chu and disrupt the situation, you can choose. ”

"King Ye and King Jun are just that, they still have some royal demeanor, King Ling is not bad, but he is arrogant, I'm afraid it will be difficult to control. ”

Ning Ming said, "This time he is in danger, just a small punishment and a big commandment, more importantly, it is thanks to Xie Ling's blessing, Emperor Chu wants to use him to contain Xie Ling, if you want to get rid of this embarrassing situation, King Ling must do something." ”

In other words, King Ling has lost his position as a candidate and is just a pawn. ”

Ning Ming nodded in agreement.

Cui Yue said, "Since you and I both think it is feasible, I will write to my cousin and ask him what he thinks." ”

Ning Ming said with some regret, "It is estimated that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not agree." ”

"Why?"

"Have you forgotten where you are now, Your Highness will not put you in danger again. ”

Cui Yue frowned and said, "Cousin should know my heart to die for the great cause." ”

"Your cousin is the crown prince, and your brother is the commander of the 400,000 army, if they can't protect you, how to conquer the world, they won't let you get into danger, this matter is still considered in the long run, and when we return to China, we will send someone to do it." ”

Cui Yue smiled and said, "I think you're scared, you're a strategist, how can you not know the fleeting truth of opportunities, since your cousin has given you autonomy, you can act independently, and you don't need to report everything." ”

Ning Ming said, "It's about your safety, I can't make decisions without permission." ”

"I'm not afraid, you can do it with peace of mind. ”

Seeing that she was resolute, Ning Ming sighed, "Okay, we also have to share the burden for His Highness, we can't let His Highness bear everything, I'm thinking about it, and then send someone to do it." ”

"Well, be careful. ”

Xie Ling, who was proud of the spring breeze, didn't seem to realize that someone was plotting to kill him, and he was in a good mood, so he went to Lin Mansion before returning to his house as usual, but after chatting with Lin Yuan, he would get along with Lin Zi for a while to comfort him.

Although I saw that the envoy of the Shang State was neither humble nor arrogant today, but when Cui Yue provoked Sister Xie, she did not get a bargain, and the Shang State may be regarded as a small loss.

Many people think this tonight, and they even feel that the affairs of Shangguo have been exaggerated.

The queen found out that the emperor was tempting the twilight sky, and she was ashamed in her heart, Your Majesty really no longer had her own mother and son, and in her eyes, it was so excessive.

Although Qi Na Twilight Shen had no eyes and dared to refuse Yining, he was still relieved, fortunately Twilight Tian Shen did not let go, otherwise it would be even more troublesome to be set down by His Majesty.

In the midst of distress, someone sent a message from my sister, "The things that Niangniang is worried about are exactly the things that we are worried about, and I also invite Niangniang to see them and discuss how to get through this together." ”

Only then did the queen understand that the twilight was really unwilling from the bottom of her heart, and she was unhappy in her heart, but she pressed it down, and now is not the time to pursue this matter.

The queen instructed the palace maid beside her, "The Li family is also my old acquaintance, and tomorrow I will invite the daughter of the Xie family to enter the palace to enjoy the flowers and reminisce about the past." ”

"Yes. ”

After Concubine Qiong returned to Qionghua Palace, someone handed over a letter, there was not a word on the envelope, Concubine Qiong retreated left and right, opened it to see, and recognized it as King Duan's letter by handwriting.

It explained the entanglement of King Duan's life experience, and one of the sentences made Concubine Qiong worried, "Although I don't fight, but my mother's revenge must be avenged, although King Ye has not participated in this matter, and has sheltered me, but my mother and son have paid their debts, I don't want to harm his life, but I don't want to make his mother and son get their wish, I have never asked you to help me do anything, but this matter, I can't bear it, please help me a thing or two." ”

King Duan actually wants to find King Ye for revenge, not to mention whether the murderer behind Concubine Jiang's death is Empress Yuan, Empress Yuan has already gone immortal, and the grievances are over, how can it be counted on King Ye, who is kind to King Duan.

Moreover, under the suppression of the Ten Princes, there is not much power left of Duanwang, the Zheng family is dead, Duanwang is no longer sheltered, isolated, how to take revenge on King Ye, whom His Majesty relies on.

Although he is favored by His Majesty, he still has no right to meddle in this matter, and the original matter is just the words of a few people, and there is no direct evidence, and it is not easy to seek justice for Concubine Jiang.

Even if King Duan joins forces with himself, it is impossible to bring down King Ye, Empress Yuan's status in His Majesty's heart is unparalleled, she doesn't care, an orphan girl, she can have this status all thanks to King Duan, but King Duan, after all, is his benefactor, you must help, you must protect him.

In the afternoon of the next day, Li took his sister Yan into the palace to meet the queen.

"The courtiers (courtiers) pay a visit to the queen. ”

Today, the queen looked very modest, "Everyone, don't be polite, give me a seat." ”

The Li family sat down in turn.

The queen glanced at her sister from afar, and saw that she looked as usual, not in a hurry, and knew that it was not easy to get along, and she didn't know what their quid pro quo was.

The daughter of the Xie family entered the palace to see His Majesty, and she couldn't avoid everyone's eyes, although it was in the name of reminiscing, but the queen was not a virtuous person, and there must be other purposes, did the queen want to win over the Xie family?

But nine times out of ten, the Xie family is now on the side of King Jun, and what bargaining chips does the queen have to make the Xie family abandon King Jun and help King Ling.

The emperor knew early on that the queen wanted to see the Xie family, others didn't know, but the emperor knew that the Xie family would not change their position easily, the queen naturally knew that she would not do anything in vain.

Last night, she tried to find out about Twilight Tianshen, presumably the queen already knew, she wanted to sabotage the matter, so she naturally wanted to find a helper, but she didn't know what the relationship between Sister Xie Yan and Twilight Tianshen was.

Does she really want to be with my daughter, a strong sweetheart, she was ignorant when she was a child, and now her status is different, so how dare Sister Xie fight with the royal family, what gave her confidence.

The emperor thought for a moment and instructed Concubine Qiong, "When they come out of the queen's place in a while, you will think of an excuse to pass Sister Xie Yan over, and you can help me ask her a few things." ”

Concubine Qiong's lowered eyes flickered, answered, and returned to normal.

The queen seems to be really reminiscing, "I only thought that there would be a period later, Yuezhen has not been back to Beijing for ten years, I heard that your sons have been married, time flies really fast." ”

Li said, "Marry with the husband, the lord moves back to his hometown with the family, the courtiers naturally want to be together, take care of the children and take care of the house all these years, and have no time to return to Beijing, so that the mother is worried in vain." ”

"Actually, I still envy you, although I am closer to my mother's house, but it is rare to go back to the house once, most of my life, I have never stepped out of the capital, it is a pity, you go back to Suyue with Xie Tuan, see the scenery of Suyue, so uncomfortable. ”

"It's just a life of hard work, not as rich as the mother, and the honor is infinite. ”

After chatting for a while, the heat subsided a little.

"The flowers in the yard are blooming well, let's go and see. ”

Li couldn't guess the queen's intentions, so he had to echo her, "Thank you, Niangniang." ”

The group walked idly in the garden, chatting for a long time, and the sister followed behind, not talking much.

The queen suddenly said, "Miss Xie is not interested in flowers and plants?"

Sister Yan replied, "The courtiers only know how to appreciate its bright colors and charming flowers, but they don't understand its reasoning." ”

"In fact, the bloom of flowers is appreciated, it is its blessing, and there is no need to say a reason, like is like, no need for any reason. ”

Sister Yan said, "Flowers will bloom if they are willing to bloom, and if they do not bloom, they will not bloom, not for people, and people appreciate their colors, but to delight themselves, not the blessing of flowers." ”

The queen was refuted by her, and subconsciously was a little angry, but turned to say, "It is worthy of being seen and has its own opinions." ”

Seeing that the two of them were dumb, Li guessed that the queen didn't want to see her, but had something to say to her sister.

Then he found an excuse, "The courtiers couldn't help but get hot and a little dizzy, so she asked the mother to go and rest for a while." ”

The queen was concerned, "It's okay, why don't you let the imperial doctor come and take a look." ”

"Xie Niangniang cares, don't bother, just rest for a while, disturb Niangniang's Yaxing, and please forgive me. ”

"Come, take Mrs. Xie to the side hall to rest, prepare some water for Mrs. to clean her face, and then prepare some soup to relieve the heat. ”

"Yes. ”
