Chapter 81: Sharing the Heavens

Before entering the palace, Su Liuying had already understood that Queen Lou now had the prince, King An's mansion and the Li family as the backing of the previous dynasty, and she was even more in charge of the middle palace alone, with the current situation of her and Concubine Ning, she couldn't compete with the queen at all, and she couldn't even fight with a finger.Chinese

Therefore, until evidence is found sufficient to kill her, she will not act rashly. Looking up at the grief-stricken and hateful Concubine Ning quietly, Su Liuying persuaded unusually calmly

"Unless we find evidence that can kill Queen Lou with one blow. Otherwise, all the revenge of the previous mother was in vain, with the protection of the prince and the palace of King An, she can make a comeback at any time......" Hearing this, Concubine Ning's whole body was weak, and her body fell weakly.

How could Concubine Ning not understand this truth, Queen Lou was too powerful, not to mention her before, it was impossible to defeat her now.

But how did her child, the humiliation she suffered, make her endure? Sitting on the cold ground, Ning Concubine gradually calmed down, her dead eyes flashed with a fierce coldness, her nails pinched deep into her palms, and she smiled coldly and said fiercely

"That poisonous woman is ruthless, and she is the best at killing people and killing people, she has never left any evidence, and it is impossible to find evidence to punish her!"

"Okay, since that's the case, this palace will fight with her with real skills!"

"She has the support of the prince and King An's mansion, and the palace will destroy her rear wing first, cut off all her retreats, and make her life worse than death!!" Hearing the words 'Anwangfu', Su Liuying couldn't help but think of Lou Yue, and her heart was suffocated.

The appearance of his resolute departure last night was imprinted in her mind for a long time and refused to dissipate, as long as she thought of it, her heart was still cramping, and even her little face turned pale.

Rejected Lou Yue ruthlessly before, she didn't want to see him in the future struggle, mixed with the painful dilemma between herself and Queen Lou, but she didn't expect that being an enemy of Queen Lou would eventually involve King An's Mansion, and as the prince of King An's Mansion, how could he stay out of the matter?

! However, Concubine Ning was right, if you want to get rid of Queen Lou, you must first bring down the forces behind her.

Therefore, from the moment she re-entered the harem and decided to avenge A-Niang, she not only cut off all her love with Lou Yue, but also opposed him and became a mortal enemy!

I was filled with sorrow. On her face, Su Liuying's expression was deadly and she said coldly

"Mother is right. It's just that before that, Niangniang must first regain her grace and ascend to the throne, and then regain the power of the palace from the queen, and grow her power step by step. Wait until you have enough ability to compete with Queen Lou, and then ask her for everything......" The ruthlessness in her eyes shook Concubine Ning's heart.

Ning Concubine saw her steadily, and felt more and more that Su Liuying's entry into the palace this time was too different from before, and there was a trace of coldness all over her body, and her actions became even more ruthless.

After hesitating for a moment, Concubine Ning finally asked

"In this way, even if we are going to officially become enemies of King An's Mansion, that is, the prince of Tonglou...... He helped you defend you like that, and you- can you really not care about him at all? I still remember the panicked look on her face when she came out of the palace to Changxin Palace to say goodbye to herself, and when she mentioned Lou Yue.

As a person who came over, Concubine Ning would not be able to see the different feelings she had for Lou Yue in her heart. Her face turned pale, and Su Liuying's mind that had just calmed down rolled again, and her heart hurt again.

She wanted to hide that A-Niang was Concubine Qiong, so naturally she wouldn't tell Queen Lou about killing A-Niang, but she just said indifferently

"Niangniang should know that I experienced nine deaths in the Scarlet Palace before, and almost died under the white silk...... And I made a heavy vow four years ago that I would never marry into the mansion in this life. So, it's destined to be impossible, why should I care......" Although she intuitively felt that Su Liuying still had something to hide from herself, she didn't want to say it, and Concubine Ning didn't force it, as long as she was willing to help herself, Mama Lan also stood on her side because of her, Concubine Ning couldn't ask for it!

She sighed

"When it comes to competing for favor, where is it so easy. In the matter of Concubine Chen in the cold palace, the saint must have a grudge against me. Although I am now released from the ban, I am afraid that it will be difficult to imagine it as before......" Su Liuying didn't know very well that Emperor Huicheng had some true feelings for Concubine Ning.

But she knew that Emperor Huicheng was letting her out of the ban in the name of giving up Ning Concubine under the pretense, so he would naturally pamper her more at this time to convince people.

Therefore, as expected, Emperor Huicheng will come to Changxin Palace today. But she was worried that because of the distrust of Emperor Huicheng before, she made the arrogant Ning Concubine have a problem with Emperor Huicheng.

She smiled lightly, stepped forward to help Concubine Ning, and said with relief

"Since Your Majesty has forgiven Niangniang, naturally she will no longer snub Niangniang. As expected, His Majesty is only afraid that he will come to Changxin Palace today to accompany his mother. As long as the mother puts down the mustard in her heart for His Majesty and puts more effort into it, she will definitely be able to love His Majesty as before. ”

"Although Niangniang told me before that the grace of the Son of Heaven cannot be regarded as a support. But--in the harem, only with the favor of the emperor can you rely on it to get what other ladies want. And the mother wants to bring down the queen, but His Majesty's grace is a good weapon. Listening to her words, Concubine Ning's hesitation slowly calmed down.

Su Liuying said again

"Didn't Niangniang notice the difference between today's queen? Even the queen didn't dare to underestimate the grace of the saint, and the mother had to be even more concerned. Hearing this, Concubine Ning was slightly stunned.

I couldn't help but think of the way I saw Queen Lou in Ci Ning today, and I always felt that she was different from before, but I didn't think about it in my heart.

Now listening to Su Liuying's reminder, I realized that Queen Lou, who has always been dignified and steady, is actually dressed up gorgeously, and she looks like she is competing for beauty, and she has a strong pressure on the harem.

Her eyes were chilled, and Concubine Ning, known as the first beauty in the harem, had always been quite confident in her appearance.

And now that she learned that Queen Lou was shameless and wanted to compete with the young concubines in the harem, Concubine Ning smiled coldly, her bright apricot eyes flowed, and she said coldly

"From today onwards, everything that the poisonous woman cares about, this palace will snatch it all." After that, she looked at Su Liuying, her eyes calmed down, and she said sincerely

"Liuying, I embarrassed you a lot before, but I didn't expect you to not only hate me, but also help me in my most difficult time. I will never forget this kindness. I will also try my best to help you get to the bottom of your father's case. Su Liuying hid the fact that Ah Niang was Concubine Qiong, and naturally she didn't tell her the truth about Daddy's case, so Concubine Ning thought that she re-entered the palace for her father's case.

Su Liuying smiled bitterly and said slowly

"So, thank you!" As she was talking, Fei'er happily ran in from outside and told Concubine Ning that the father-in-law of Chengqian Palace had come to pass the word, but at noon, Emperor Huicheng was going to Changxin Palace to have lunch, so that Concubine Ning could get ready.

Hearing this, Concubine Ning was slightly stunned, and looked back at Su Liuying with some surprise, but she didn't expect to be hit by her.

Changxin Palace was closed and confined for more than two months, most of the palace people left, and the palace was much deserted. Now that the ban has just been lifted, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has not sent new palace personnel, and there is a shortage of tools, and many things have not been busy.

In addition, Emperor Huicheng was coming, and suddenly the whole palace was busy and panicked. She hadn't taken over for a long time, and Concubine Ning was also a little flustered, and with something on her mind, the whole person became more and more panicked.

Sometimes worried about her makeup, sometimes worried that the furnishings in the hall were too simple, and hurriedly asked Fei'er to open the warehouse to move out the precious furnishings that had been put away before, but was gently persuaded by Su Liuying.

Su Liuying said

"Your Majesty is coming soon, and the food in the small kitchen is important right now, and I'm afraid that the furnishings in the palace will be too late for a while." Concubine Ning glanced at the slightly empty hall and said uneasily

"But it's too cold. Since you want to compete for favor, you can't be sloppy in that aspect. Su Liu's eyes fell on the colorful flowers and trees outside the hall, and he smiled knowingly

"Compared with the dull decorations, those delicate spring flowers must be more relaxing for His Majesty, who is busy with government affairs. Why don't you let me go to the Hundred Gardens to pick some flowers and branches to decorate the main hall. Hearing this, Concubine Ning's eyes lit up!

Yes, no matter which palace the emperor goes to, what he sees is almost the same furnishings, and it is estimated that he is tired of seeing it, so it is better to pick some delicate flowers to decorate, eye-catching and natural.

In this way, Concubine Ning nodded in response, couldn't help but look at her plain clothes, and asked Su Liuying

"Look, do I still have to change my clothes?" Concubine Ning usually wears luxurious and exquisite clothes, which are too glamorous and moving, but she lacks the grace that a woman should have.

Su Liuying smiled

"Didn't Niangniang say it herself, today in Cining Palace, the emperor saw you at a glance, and looked at you a few more times. In this way, doesn't it mean that Niangniang's dress is very in line with His Majesty's wishes. Hearing her say this, Concubine Ning's flustered heart calmed down completely, and she no longer bothered about which set of clothes to change, and simply waited for Emperor Huicheng's arrival.

And Su Liuying turned around and went out and went to Baihuayuan alone. When she arrived at Baihuayuan, she didn't go in, and took a small path to go straight to Xianfu Palace.

When she came to the door of Xianfu, she quietly hid her body to the side and guarded quietly...... Queen Lou, who went to Cining Palace to ask for peace early in the morning, began to be nervous from the moment she saw Concubine Ning, who suddenly appeared.

Then I saw Su Liuying, who was obviously out of the palace, reappeared in the palace and became the palace maid next to Concubine Ning, and Queen Lou felt that this series of events happened unusually.

Concubine Ning didn't know the real purpose of Su Liuying's return to the palace, but Queen Lou probably guessed that it was because of Concubine Qiong's death.

And her return to the palace must have been approved by the emperor. So, why did the emperor agree to her request to return to the palace?

Could it be that Concubine Qiong said something to the emperor? Or did Su Liuying and Concubine Ning find out something? Queen Lou lay on the couch and asked Yingluo to help her use a hot towel to cover her ankle, but she couldn't sit still in her heart, so she couldn't tell Yingluo about her worries.

Hearing this, Yingluo's heart was cold. The face is softly persuaded

"The mother was too worried, and the slave looked at the two of them very normally. Besides, the people who shouldn't have been left behind are dead, and the mouths of the dead are the safest, even if they have suspicions, they can't come up with a trace of evidence, it's in vain......" Hearing what she said, Queen Lou's heart was half calm, she twisted her eyebrows and thought for a moment, and said

"You personally sent the boiled ginseng soup to Chengqian Palace, and by the way, tell the emperor that I stewed cordyceps duck soup here today, which is the most nourishing for the lungs and kidneys, and please go to Yongkun Palace for dinner at noon." Yingluo took the order to go down, took the ginseng soup and sent it to the Chengqian Palace, and turned around and came back half an hour later.

Seeing her come back with the empty cup, Queen Lou put down the big stone in her heart - she knew Concubine Ning's temperament, if she had any doubts about herself or found any evidence, with her pampered and intolerable temperament, she would definitely not be able to bear it and would ask the emperor for justice.

And the emperor has been married to her for decades, and she knows his temperament even more, if he hears something and doubts himself, then the bowl of ginseng soup that Fang Yingluo will not be able to deliver.

Now seeing Yingluo come back with the empty cup, Queen Lou's worries have completely put down. Empress Lou's expression relaxed, and she was about to ask the emperor when she would come over for dinner, but when she looked up, she saw Yingluo's embarrassed and panicked face.

Yingluo hesitated for a moment, and finally said cautiously

"Niangniang, when the slave maid went to deliver ginseng soup just now, His Majesty had instructed the little eunuch to go to Changxin Palace to deliver a message. Say yes...... said that he was going to Changxin Palace at noon...... "Her eyes sank, and Queen Lou's heart became suffocated.

And when he thought of Emperor Huicheng's partiality towards Concubine Ning in Cining Palace, his heart was like a stuffy jar that had sunk into water, and he couldn't breathe.

She leaned back on the couch, her brow furrowed, and her head ached again. Yingluo said cautiously on the side

"Niangniang, what are you going to do now?" Queen Lou spent all her efforts to lay out, not only successfully let Concubine Ning lose the child, but also let her herself fall into the trap she had set, so that she could find the truth unsuccessfully, but she became a 'murderer', was stripped of her concubine position, and fell out of favor.

However, it was not easy to eradicate her biggest threat, but she didn't expect that overnight, Concubine Ning, who had no hope of turning over, was suddenly ungrounded, and Emperor Huicheng didn't have the slightest intention of snubbing her, and couldn't wait to go to her palace as soon as the ban was lifted...... The more she thought about it, the more resentful Queen Lou became, her phoenix eyes were slight, and she said coldly

"It's been a long time since I've seen the fifth princess. went to Xianfu Palace to pick her up, and said that the palace invited her to come over to drink cordyceps duck soup. Yingluo instantly understood, and immediately took the order to retreat.

Su Liuying, who had been guarding at the gate of Xianfu Palace for half an hour, completely cooled down the moment she saw Yingluo.

She really guessed correctly, after Concubine Ning lifted the ban, Concubine Ning's forgiveness made the murderer who really forced Concubine Chen to death, that is, Queen Lou, panic.

And the news that Emperor Fang Cai Huicheng went to Changxin Palace for lunch must have also reached the ears of Queen Lou at this time.

According to Queen Lou's cold temperament, although she was resentful and unwilling at this time, in order to maintain her virtuous and gentle face, she would not come forward in person, but would instigate the fifth princess Ling Lan to come forward.

Because in everyone's eyes, it was Concubine Ning who killed Princess Linglan's mother. Whether Princess Linglan went to Changxin Palace to make trouble with Concubine Ning, or went to Emperor Huicheng to cry, presumably Changxin Palace had a lively day, and Emperor Huicheng couldn't stay in Changxin Palace with peace of mind...... Su Liuying's expectation was not bad at all!

Although she had expected this, when she really saw Yingluo appear at the gate of Xianfu Palace, her heart and liver still trembled - in this way, it completely confirmed all the speculations in her heart, and the person behind all the conspiracy was really Queen Lou!

Sure enough, not long after Yingluo entered, she came out with Princess Linglan and went in the direction of Yongkun Palace.

Su Liuying returned to Changxin Palace empty-handed. Concubine Ning had already asked the palace maid to prepare a vase and wait for her to come back from picking flower branches, and when she saw her empty hands, she couldn't help but wonder

"Flowers? The emperor is coming over soon, and this hall has not yet been arranged......"

"Niangniang, the emperor is afraid that he won't be able to come!" Since Emperor Huicheng believed his words and believed that it was not Concubine Ning who killed Concubine Chen, then he would naturally believe that Concubine Chen was not the real culprit who caused Concubine Ning's miscarriage.

Therefore, when I think of Concubine Chen, who was imprisoned in the cold palace because of her scapegoature and finally died tragically in the cold palace, I am afraid that Emperor Hui Cheng will feel even more guilty about Concubine Chen than he feels guilty about Concubine Ning!

And this guilt can't compensate for the dead Concubine Chen, so it will naturally compensate for the motherless Princess Linglan.

Therefore, as long as Empress Lou instigated Princess Linglan to come forward, Emperor Huicheng would naturally accompany her to stay in Yongkun Palace to dine together, and naturally she would not come to Changxin Palace again.

Concubine Ning didn't know that Queen Lou had taken Princess Linglan to Yongkun, and when she heard Su Liuying's words, she was stunned, and her eyes flashed with confusion and panic.

Su Liuying sank

"Just now I went to Baihuayuan and saw Aunt Yingluo personally go to Xianfu Palace to pick up the fifth princess." Concubine Ning instantly understood the meaning of her words, and her face turned white.

Emperor Huicheng just asked her to lift the ban, and did not affirm the unjust case of Concubine Chen for her, so in the eyes of everyone, she was still the one who brutally killed Concubine Chen.

The revenge of killing her mother is not shared, and Princess Linglan will naturally not let her go. Thinking of this, Ning Concubine felt bored in her heart, and she couldn't help but say

"Before, for the sake of green foam, didn't the fifth princess believe you very much? Why don't you go and tell her the truth about everything...... In this way, not only will she not help the queen deal with it, but she will hate the queen Lou to the core, and we can be regarded as one more helper. Hearing this, Su Liuying hesitated.

Princess Suzuran was no better than them, she was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. If you tell her everything, I'm afraid that she will impulsively go to Queen Lou for revenge.

Without evidence, she is destined to be helpless Queen Lou, and she will accompany her future. After all, Queen Lou is now the master of the harem, and she handles the marriages of the marriageable princesses in the palace.

If she angers Queen Lou, she marries Ling Lan to a foreign country and relatives, or ignores her marriage, and lets her stay in the palace as an old girl.

Therefore, after thinking about it, before there is definite evidence, Su Liuying does not want to involve Princess Linglan in this war that does not have the smoke of gunpowder.

On her face, she said in a deep voice

"Before there is evidence, you can't let the fifth prince know that Queen Lou is the real murderer, so as not to startle the snake." Concubine Ning knew that she had a point, but when she thought that from now on, Princess Linglan would definitely find trouble for herself, and she would prevent herself from accepting favor, and her face couldn't help but be full of sorrow.

Su Liuying persuaded

"Niangniang doesn't have to be upset, as long as Your Majesty believes that you are wronged, then the more Queen Lou instigates Princess Linglan to embarrass you, Your Majesty is afraid that she will pity Niangniang more and more. As long as the mother grasps it well, it may turn a disaster into a blessing. As she spoke, Fei'er came in from outside with a dark face.

Sure enough, Emperor Huicheng was intercepted by Princess Linglan halfway to Changxin Palace, and turned around and accompanied her to the queen's Yongkun Palace.

Concubine Ning's face changed slightly. According to Ning Concubine's previous temperament, if something like this happens, she will definitely be angry, but this time Ning Concubine gritted her teeth and endured it.

Emperor Huicheng will not come, Concubine Ning has no appetite, she drank half a bowl of porridge casually, and just let people withdraw from the table, but Yu Tai, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, personally led a group of palace maids and eunuchs to Changxin Palace, and carried the utensils and other things that were in short supply in Changxin Palace.

Before, Concubine Ning was cut and grounded, and everyone in the palace believed that she was completely beaten into the cold palace and could no longer turn over.

Even the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to withhold the materials and silver of the Changxin Palace. Then I didn't expect that only two months had passed since the punishment of the grounding, and Emperor Huicheng missed Concubine Ning, so he persuaded the Queen Mother to lift her grounding.

And what happened in Cining this morning has already spread throughout the harem. At present, everyone knows that Emperor Huicheng even dismissed him from the draft for the sake of a Ning concubine, and publicly stated that Ning Concubine had the most sacred heart.

Suddenly, the wind direction of the entire harem changed instantly, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that Concubine Ning's return was imminent, but they were afraid that they would start to favor the queen again.

Therefore, Yu Tai personally led the people of the Internal Affairs Office to send things to Changxin Palace, and knelt in the palace in a cold sweat to ask Concubine Ning for his guilt.

Concubine Ning is a smart person, even if she hates Yu Tai and others in her heart, even she dares to bully.

But he also knows that although Yu Tai is a minion, he is in charge of the internal affairs and cannot be underestimated. Therefore, Concubine Ning was rarely good-natured and did not bother with him about the previous deduction, but left him down for tea, and then instructed Su Liuying and Fei'er to choose the palace eunuchs who stayed and served.

The courtyard of Changxin Palace was full of palace maids and eunuchs selected by the Internal Affairs Office. Su Liuying stood on the steps outside the hall with Fei'er, her eyes swept in front of everyone's eyes one by one, and her expression was slightly startled in the next second!

Among the palace maids, there was Sui'er, who had not been seen for a long time! Half a month ago, when she left the palace, she went to the bureau to get the package, but she heard that Sui'er was transferred to another place on an errand, but she didn't expect to meet her again here.

Compared with Su Liuying's surprise, Sui'er had already seen her, standing in the crowd and waving to her happily.

When she met Sui'er again, Su Liuying was also very happy, and couldn't help but want to step forward, but when she looked at the people from the Internal Affairs Office who were standing beside her, she just smiled faintly at her.

Sui'er hid in the crowd quietly, she made a lip shape, and pointed to herself. Su Liuying understood what she meant, she wanted her to leave herself.

Although she and Fei'er are now both first-class palace maids by Concubine Ning's side, Su Liuying knows that Fei'er is very competitive and competitive, so she rarely interferes in the big and small affairs in the palace, and leaves it to Fei'er to handle it.

Fei'er stepped forward and summoned the palace maid she liked to the side to stay in Changxin Palace on an errand, passed by Sui'er, looked at her beautiful face, frowned, and walked straight over.

Sui'er's happy face darkened, and her face couldn't help showing urgency, and she looked at Su Liuying anxiously.

In the past, when she was on an errand in the Division, Sui'er helped her a lot, so seeing her like this, Su Liuying couldn't help but step forward and propose to Fei'er that she stay with Sui'er.

Fei'er listened to her proposal, took two steps back and looked at Sui'er more and more carefully, the more she looked, the more she felt that she was too good-looking, she couldn't help frowning, turned sideways and said coldly to Su Liuying

"Do you know the taboo of choosing a palace maid - the more beautiful it is, the more you can't keep it, lest these foxes seduce the emperor with the light of the mother!" After that, he didn't forget to look at Su Liuying and muttered

"If you don't know your relationship with Niangniang, otherwise, with your appearance, no master of that palace would dare to leave you. An obvious scourge! Hearing this, Su Liuying was stunned, and even more involuntarily remembered A-Niang's identity, feeling bitter and annoyed, and said lightly

"She is my companion in the bureau before, she is the most diligent in her work, and she is also sincere and honest, I think it is very good." If it was the past, Fei'er wouldn't have cared about her, but after going through so many things, Fei'er didn't dare to underestimate Su Liuying from her heart, and even after she helped Concubine Ning lift the ban, she actually had feelings and admiration for her in her heart.

Therefore, he said that he was not happy, but his hand pointed at Sui'er and said

"I'll leave you alone. In the future, you will do a good job with Liuying. Fei'er said this, not only left Sui'er, but also directly promoted her to become a second-class palace maid under Su Liuying.

Sui'er was overjoyed, and thanked Fei'er and Su Liuying repeatedly. Su Liuying was also very happy, and personally led Sui'er to the next room.

And Fei'er had a bunch of questions in her heart that she wanted to ask her, and the two were about to sit down to catch up, but there was a chaotic noise in the front hall.

Before Su Liuying could understand, the little palace maid ran over with a white face and said in a trembling voice

"Sister Hotaru, let's go and take a look, the fifth princess has brought someone to break into the palace!" Hearing this, Su Liuying's face turned pale, and she hurriedly rushed to the front hall.

When she arrived, there was already a commotion in the Hande Hall, the main hall of Changxin Palace. Cat flutter Chinese
