"Mandarin duck, go find out Your Majesty's movements tomorrow, this palace is going to intercede for my brother." Concubine Rou spoke in a deep voice.

After the mandarin duck got down, he left in a hurry.

Chu Luoyi always stood on one side with his eyes down, and did not speak.

Concubine Rou glanced at her, got up and walked to the inner room and said, "You don't have to blame yourself, this palace will not blame you, this palace believes that the gains you have brought to this palace must be far greater than the losses of this palace." ”

"The slave will live up to the trust of the mother." Chu Luoyi lowered his eyes and said.

It was not early, and Concubine Rou had some thoughts in her heart, so she wanted to be alone quietly, so Chu Luoyi went back to the room early.

Her room is in an ear room in the Shuihua Palace, for a palace maid, the conditions are excellent, the things in the room are all available, and she is the only one who lives.

Pushing open the window and looking at the night on the horizon, Chu Luoyi was analyzing the queen's plan in his heart.

This harem seems to be peaceful, but in fact, it is a stone rolling up a thousand waves, and many seemingly unrelated things are always inextricably linked.

After thinking about it for a long time, although there was no substantive insight, he also analyzed the pros and cons clearly, and the whole person breathed a sigh of relief.

The early autumn night is a little cool, and the leaves on the trees are scattered under the howling of the wind, and they are fluttering one after another, mixed with the sound of rustling, which is a special beauty.

The moon and stars are scarce, Chu Luoyi is lying on the bed, pillowing one arm, looking at the sky outside from a distance, worried and sleeping.

Early the next morning, Chu Luoyi packed up early and waited for Concubine Rou to get up.

said that she was serving, but in fact, she was just standing on the sidelines and watching, and the palace people who were serving Concubine Rou were all available, and she didn't need to do anything.

"Niangniang, Your Majesty has gathered a lot of beauties to drink and have fun in the Autumn Leaves Forest today." The mandarin duck opened his mouth a little cautiously, not forgetting to raise his eyes to look at Concubine Rou's expression.

The golden hairpin that Concubine Rou wanted to insert in her bun suddenly put down, and landed on the dresser lightly and heavily.

"Your Majesty didn't even invite this palace?"

"Yes.. Empress... No one came to the Shuihua Palace to inform them. ”

Concubine Rou looked at herself in the mirror, a little haggard, but she was by no means down, and got up and said, "Go to the Autumn Leaf Forest." ”

Chu Luoyi followed Concubine Rou to the Autumn Leaf Forest, silent along the way.

The autumn leaves are red in the forest, the fire trees and silver flowers are really stunning, and the endless thick and heavy are connected into a blazing flame, scorching everyone's life.

"Concubine Ai is really considerate... I like the way you look the most... Hahaha"

"Your Majesty, where can the concubines compare to the sisters, the sisters are all peony peony and hibiscus moon season, competing for beauty, the emperor just saw the concubine's little wildflower fresh." The woman's delicate voice seems to be able to drip water.

"Concubine Xiang's little mouth is sweet, no wonder Your Majesty is so happy, as long as Your Majesty is happy, you have monopolized Your Majesty's favor, and this palace will not blame you."

Chu Luoyi could hear that this was the queen's voice.

Catching a glimpse of Concubine Rou's face, it was indeed a little gloomy again.

"Niangniang, Your Majesty always has to do something to appease the queen's family." Chu Luoyi opened his mouth to persuade.

Concubine Rou said: "This palace understands, but the queen made it clear that the elder brother of this palace was demoted at this time, and let this palace come to see this scene." ”

Chu Luoyi didn't speak again, Concubine Rou was a smart person, so she didn't need to say much.

", stop! Your Majesty said, "Today I will rest in the woods, and I will not see anyone." The two guards raised their hands to stop Concubine Rou and the others.

Concubine Rou's expression remained unchanged, she picked up the hem of her skirt and knelt on the ground: "This palace will not embarrass the two of you, this palace is only here to wait for Your Majesty." ”

The two guards looked at each other, and finally withdrew, leaving no obstacles.

When the mandarin duck and several other palace maids saw it, they hurriedly stepped forward to advise: "Niangniang... Now that the autumn wind is biting, you kneel here, and your body will be unbearable."

Chu Luoyi just quietly pushed aside, and could vaguely smell the fragrance of wine, the laughter of the woman, and the laughter of Emperor Beiyan.

I believe that the queen has already received the news of Concubine Rou's arrival at this moment, and it depends on how long the queen intends to let Concubine Rou kneel. She believed that no matter what the queen's purpose was, she would definitely meet Concubine Rou, whether it was to see her haggard appearance or to mock her, she would not let go of this opportunity.

Concubine Rou knelt on the ground for about an hour, and finally a eunuch came out of the woods and said to Concubine Rou: "Your Majesty only then knows that Niangniang is here, let our family lead the way for Niangniang." ”

"Thank you, father-in-law." Concubine Rou got up slowly and followed her father-in-law's steps and walked in.

I didn't go far, and I saw an extremely extravagant scene, the silk delicacies were scattered all over the ground, the golden bottles and jade cups were crooked, and the Northern Yan Emperor hugged left and right on a spacious soft couch, and there was a woman sitting on the ground under the collapse, helping the Northern Yan Emperor gently rub her legs, her clothes were half naked, her fragrant shoulders were slightly exposed, and her white flower skin was a little dazzling.

Chu Luoyi lowered his head, trying to minimize his presence to prevent Emperor Beiyan from noticing him.

"Concubine Rou, you shouldn't have come today, I will be disappointed if you come." Emperor Beiyan opened his mouth a little drunk.

"Your Majesty, the concubine didn't come today to intercede with her brother." Concubine Rou knelt on the ground and said softly.

Emperor Beiyan raised his eyebrows, opened his eyes slightly, and looked at the beauty who was kneeling on the ground: "Could it be that Concubine Ai is also here to have fun with me?" ”

The queen opened her mouth and said: "Sister Rou, don't blame Your Majesty, it is the palace that says it with Your Majesty, thinking that my sister and brother will not be in the mood to have fun now that something has happened suddenly, Your Majesty has been thinking for a long time, so I didn't send someone to inform my sister." ”

The queen's words alluded to the fact that Concubine Rou had no conscience, and her brother was degraded and suffered, but she only cared about eating, drinking and having fun, which was really chilling.

Concubine Rou ignored the queen, but continued to Emperor Beiyan: "The concubine knows that her brother is guilty, so she doesn't plan to intercede for her brother, but the mistake made by her brother has betrayed Your Majesty's trust, which makes Your Majesty worried and tired, and even angry, and the concubine is ashamed in her heart, and she doesn't dare to ask Your Majesty to forgive her concubine, she only hopes that Your Majesty will give your concubine a chance to serve Your Majesty, so as to relieve the sense of shame in her heart and make up for her brother's sins." ”

Chu Luoyi bowed slightly, Concubine Rou's approach was extremely wise, in the name of making up for Zhao Zichuan, Emperor Beiyan would keep her by his side, as long as Emperor Beiyan accepted her, then after a long time, looking at what Concubine Rou did, Emperor Beiyan would naturally be soft-hearted, and without Concubine Rou opening her mouth, Zhao Zichuan would be transferred back to Beijing.

"It's hard to love the concubine, you have a heart, but I blame you, get up quickly, it's cold on the ground, how can it be good to hurt your body." Emperor Beiyan spoke.

"Your Majesty, in the past, everyone said that Sister Rou was empathetic, gentle and generous, and she was Your Majesty's interpretation flower, and the concubine has always been unconvinced, until this time, the concubine is really convinced." Xiang Concubine said.

"Sister Xiang Concubine is not bad, how can she be convinced?" Concubine Shun on the side spoke.

"Sister Shun, if this happened to the concubine today, the concubine would not be able to do this to Sister Roufei, and she would cry and shout to plead with His Majesty, after all, no matter what mistake the elder brother makes, he is always the elder brother of the concubine, who is not a sage, who can be innocent? A little woman like a concubine can't sit idly by and ignore her brother's life and death for the sake of righteousness. ”

"Yes, the eldest brother is like a father, and he treats his concubines very well, if he is a concubine, he can't sit idly by and ignore his father and brother." Concubine Shun sighed.

There was a faint smile on the corner of the queen's mouth, looking at the slightly haggard Concubine Rou in front of her, some people who usually return to Concubine Rou, even if they wanted to help solve it, they couldn't think of any way for a while.

Chu Luoyi raised his eyes and looked at the half-naked Xiang Concubine, this Xiang Concubine's scheming seemed to be not shallow.

Xiang Concubine said something that was even striking, implying that Concubine Rou seemed to be empathetic, but in fact she was indifferent and ruthless, and she didn't even care about the life or death of her father and brother who had the grace of birth and nurturing, how could she expect such a woman to be sincere to anyone?

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the emperor doesn't think so, at least he will think that Concubine Rou's indifferent understanding is far less lovely than those women with true temperament.

"The concubine faces His Majesty and calls herself a concubine, she is a minister first, and then a concubine, if it is an ordinary family, the concubine should not ask the reason, and she will help the bloodline, but the concubine is facing Your Majesty, and she is not a family of one person, only if the concubine abides by the law and discipline and legislates, Beiyan will prosper, compared to the people of the world, compared to the famous name of His Majesty, even if the concubine is considered to be hard-hearted, why not."

Concubine Rou's words are sonorous, but they are enough to move people.

In a word, an indifferent and ruthless woman instantly became flesh and blood again, and she would rather sacrifice herself than guard Emperor Beiyan, if it is passed on by someone with a heart, it will only win the hearts of the people for Concubine Rou, and someone will also notice Zhao Zichuan.

As long as Zhao Zichuan grasps this opportunity, he can even take advantage of the public opinion of the people and turn around and return to Beijing.

This verbal confrontation seemed to be a draw, but in fact, Concubine Rou created a good opportunity for Zhao Zichuan, and only to see if Zhao Zichuan had the brain.

Emperor Beiyan's attitude softened a little: "Don't argue anymore, you are not wrong, it's just that I am both a king and a husband, which makes it difficult for you." ”

After Concubine Rou was given a seat, Emperor Beiyan asked a few warm words, and a luxurious banquet was over after half a day.

After the queen returned to Fengxiang Palace, she sat at the table covered with a splendid tablecloth, tapped the long armor set of her tail finger, and said to the henchman beside her: "Send a letter to my father, let them burn the fire again, and let Your Majesty execute Zhao Zichuan!" ”

"Yes, slave understands."

A trace of murderous intent flashed in the queen's eyes, she almost lost her life that day, and this time she was about to send Concubine Rou to hell.

"Queen Mother, the palace maid next to Concubine Rou today looks like the woman who praised you for falling off her petals and being rich and boundless." Qiushui, who was beside the queen, spoke.

The queen's eyes were a little darker: "Don't worry for the time being, since she has taken refuge in Concubine Rou, this palace wants to see how capable she is." ”

"But Niangniang, the slave maid is unknown, could it be that the poisoning of Niangniang last time was really the hands and feet of Concubine Rou?"
