Yuehua was a little apprehensive in her heart, lowered her head, pretending to be indifferent, but she raised her vigilance by twelve points, lest she be accidentally asked by the Empress Dowager what she shouldn't say.

"The emperor is working so hard, you will inevitably not take care of it enough. It just so happens that there are no trivial things here in the mourning family, so it is better to let Ling Yan share some of it for you. ”

The Empress Dowager changed her words and finally got to the point.

Yuehua sneered in her heart, and directly refused: "The Empress Dowager Qiqi, the emperor said that he was concentrating on government politics and had no time for his children's private affairs for the time being, and told Yuehua to control the sisters in the harem and not to disturb him if there was no important matter." ”

"Don't have time?" The Empress Dowager suddenly opened her eyes wide, staring at Yuehua, and her anger grew: "The emperor will take you out to play in the mountains and rivers, and you will have time to eat wine and drink tea in a drunken dream?" ”

Unexpectedly, the emperor and his every move did not hide the empress dowager, no wonder Mo Guhan was dissatisfied. Yuehua was not afraid, and replied word by word: "The emperor is favored, and Yuehua is also flattered." ”

"The mourning family heard that you have asked the emperor to go to Lan Jieyu more than once, but Ling Yan was wronged and cold-faced in your Qingqiu Palace yesterday, but you are gloating, and you can't add fuel to the fire. You two are born of the same root, and you can't tolerate your sisters? Could it be that Ling Yan is not as close to you as Lan Jieyu? ”

The Empress Dowager asked aggressively.

Yuehua snorted coldly in her heart, compared with Lan Huaien, she Chang Lingyan is indeed incomparable in heaven and earth.

"Ling Yan was wronged, it was because she contradicted the emperor herself, which made the emperor disgusted, and this matter probably has nothing to do with Yuehua."

"If it weren't for you slandering in front of the emperor, how could the emperor not tolerate Ling Yan?"

Yuehua still lowered her eyebrows, and her tone was respectful, but the style of her words did not give in at all: "When Yuehua first entered the palace, the emperor hated Yuehua as much, and the concubine thought that it should probably be the same reason. ”

"Smack!"

The rosewood Buddha bead in the Empress Dowager's hand came out of her hand and threw it on Yuehua's face. Yuehua only felt a hot pain, and it must have become red and swollen.

"Do you remember how embarrassed you were when you first entered the palace? The mourners think you've forgotten about Ben! ”

Yuehua covered half of her face, still kneeling on the ground without moving, hanging her head and not daring to disobey, but she straightened her spine as straight as loose, neither humble nor arrogant.

Chang Lingyan stepped forward to pick up the Buddha beads on the ground, wiped them clean with his sleeve, and then handed them over to the Empress Dowager with a smile on her face.

"The Empress Dowager was angry, and she was angry. My sister originally lacked discipline, was stubborn, and unruly, and your old man couldn't get angry. ”

The Empress Dowager didn't raise her eyelids, and said coldly to Chang Lingyan: "You retreat for the time being." ”

Chang Lingyan was stunned for a moment, puzzled by what he meant.

"The mourning family has something to say to the queen."

Chang Lingyan pursed his lips unwillingly, and said softly: "Obey." ”

Then he slowly exited and closed the door behind him.

The room was silent, and the cigarette smoke curled, silently nourishing the tents and brocades in the temple, and there was a dark incense.

Yuehua quietly moved her knees, and now the long plush foot blanket has been removed from the hall, and the bluestone floor is scrubbed with water, and the light can be seen. When you kneel for a moment, you will inevitably feel sore, like a pinprick in a needle.

"Queen, do you know how you reversed the emperor's opinion of you and fought this beautiful turnaround?"

Yuehua nodded: "Everything depends on the grace of the Empress Dowager." ”

The mourning family can afford this. Do you know how many arrangements the mourning family has made for you and the emperor? ”

Yuehua shook her head, for herself and Mo Guhan. She only knew that the Empress Dowager was happy to see it, and she had also supported herself and said good things. However, she really didn't know what the Empress Dowager had planned.

The Empress Dowager smiled mysteriously and said slowly: "Then today, the mourning family will say that you know, so that you can understand that you, the queen's position, were single-handedly supported by the mourning family, and in the same way, if the mourning family wants to abolish you, it is as easy as a palm." ”

Yuehua only felt a chill in her heart, and there was also a chill on her body, as if she was about to have a violent storm rushing towards her.

She couldn't help but raise her head, the Empress Dowager was staring at her meaningfully, the glint in her eyes as deep as the dark night sky.

Some suspicions slipped through Yuehua's mind like meteors, and it was this fleeting aura that shocked her.

She stared at her eyes in disbelief, word by word, and spat out her mouth with difficulty: "At Concubine Ling's birthday banquet, the hands and feet in the ice cracked jade bottle were made by you at your behest to Yao Se?" ”

The Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment, obviously a little unexpected: "Why do you think so?" ”

"If Yao Se is really a concubine's person, with the fiery eyes of the Empress Dowager, it is impossible to be unaware, and she is also the master to send her to serve Yuehua closely. And it is precisely because the fat powder used by Yao Se was rewarded by the Empress Dowager, that she will be unscrupulous and blatant when she uses it, and will be seen by other palace people as evidence against her.

Moreover, Yao Se clearly deliberately showed a panicked look at that time, and was noticed by Yuehua. Since she has already made up her mind to die and has the heart to bear this sin for others, there is really no need to make another move, and after she has explained it, she will deliberately lead the suspicion to Ya Concubine.

After the incident happened, Yuehua already had a lot of suspicions, felt that the matter was full of suspicions, and even once suspected that it was Concubine He's hands and feet. Yuehua really didn't expect that it would be the Empress Dowager's instructions. ”

The Empress Dowager shook her head: "You are wrong, not only will this matter not hurt you, on the contrary, everyone is suspicious, and you are the biggest beneficiary." The emperor is in full view of everyone, and he should never be abolished, so he sees you pitiful and compassionate.

Yes, that Yaose is indeed a mourner. At the beginning, she was working under the hands of Ya Concubine, she was punished for making mistakes, and her wounds worsened. The mourning family thinks she is clever and wants her to serve you closely, but I didn't expect you to choose Qiao Zhu, that crazy girl. ”

Yuehua was a little incredulous: "Just to harm Concubine Ling and frame Concubine Ya, let Yao Se sacrifice an innocent life?" ”

"The kindness of a woman!" The Empress Dowager rebuked sharply: "If it weren't for the mourning family's arrangement, would the emperor have prejudices against the concubines?" If the mourning family doesn't help you break through one by one, can you take the opportunity to consolidate your position? Will the emperor love you out of pity? Do you think it's really your own Chu Yuehua's own ability? ”

"Such a favor is built on a bloody life, and Yuehua doesn't want it."

"Don't? You are the one who dies now! Do you think you'll be alive until now? Since the day you entered the palace, the mourning family has been painstakingly planning, the first day made the emperor have a prejudice against Concubine Ling, and the second shot ruined the status of the concubine in the emperor's mind, and Concubine He because of Cui Zhaoyi's miscarriage, the emperor has a grudge against her, so since you entered the palace, the emperor rarely turns over their brands, just blindly favors Jun Jieyu.

After Jun Jieyu was killed, you had the opportunity to be the sole pet of the family. Queen, do you think that if it weren't for the mourning family to help you, would you be able to make the emperor reverse his disgust with himself and successfully compete for favor? ”

Yuehua was completely stunned at this time, and she still couldn't reminisce for a long time, her heart was like a stormy wave, surging, where could she sort out her head?

There have been doubts, but I just don't dare to believe it, and I don't want to believe it.

"On the first day of Yuehua's entry into the palace, the nettle powder in the Baizi quilt was also ordered by the Empress Dowager?"

"What a fuss, not only did the mourning family in your tent move, but even Concubine Ling fainted and it was also a game set up by the mourning family. With her arrogant and domineering temperament, she will inevitably take the opportunity to embarrass you and make the emperor unsafe. ”

"Anything else?" Yuehua asked with difficulty.

"Anything else? Including deliberately making it difficult for you at the beginning, letting you kneel in Ci'an Palace for an afternoon, go to Lantang Palace to bathe, and meet the emperor by chance, one by one, one by one, if it weren't for the mourning family's painstaking efforts to make fine arrangements, how could you step by step into the emperor's eyes? ”

"What about Jun Shuyuan's death?"

The Empress Dowager smiled coldly and shook her head: "The mourning family hasn't had time to make a move, so the empress dowager and others can't tolerate her, but it saves the mourning family the trouble." ”

Yuehua collapsed to the ground in frustration, her mouth and tongue were numb, her heart was bitter, and she suddenly didn't know what to say.

She thought that the original snow hand, the chance encounter in Lantang Palace, the secret feelings, and the little by little happy aftertaste between Mo Guhan and Mo Guhan were the most intoxicating accidents. However, in just a few words, the Empress Dowager completely shattered these beautiful things, and turned them into the most painstaking calculations, ingenious arrangements, and bloody conspiracy in her palms.

So, what is left between her and Mo Guhan?

The elder she was in awe, the Empress Dowager, who had always been partial to herself, has now become scheming and calculating, and regards human life as a mustard.

The truth that I longed to know was revealed layer by layer, like forcibly tearing open an unhealed scar, revealing a bloody wound, so ugly.

The Empress Dowager has been staring at Yuehua condescendingly, and the corners of her lips have a smug look: "If you don't tell you, you will never understand your position." A few sweet words from Mo Guhan made you completely lose yourself. Do you think that the emperor is your sky, a big tree that you can rely on and enjoy the shade, don't you?

The mourning family is not afraid to tell you, which of the concubines in the harem has not been beautiful? Which one has not pleased the emperor? The mourning family is just a little trick to be able to lift them up to the clouds, and similarly, with the palms downward, their position in the emperor's heart immediately plummeted, and they were completely thrown into the cold palace. You, too!

In this world, only the involvement of interests is permanent, and the Chang family is your solid backing. If you want to gain a firm foothold in this Forbidden City forever, the only thing you can rely on is the mourning family, that is, the Chang family.

It's just the matter of your third uncle, and the Li family is looking for death by himself. The mourning family turned the page for the time being and did not pursue it again. Chu Yuehua, the mourning family gave you one last chance to send Chang Lingyan to Mo Guhan's bed. You two sisters support each other, my family is prosperous, and your position in this Forbidden City will be unshakable. ”
