Chapter 250: Mountain Rain is Coming
No matter how miraculous the immortal said about the function of this elixir, Concubine Xiang felt that the taste of this elixir was really not very good, and there was even an indescribable strange smell. However, compared to the taste of this elixir, the emperor's expression at this time made Concubine Xiang feel a little disgusting.
Half a pillar of incense passed, and Concubine Xiang, who had taken the pill, was still safe and sound.
The emperor's tense heart slowly relaxed, it seems that what the prince said today is indeed his heartfelt words, he has not wanted to attack him, the emperor, fortunately...... OK...... Thinking of this, the emperor remembered his suspicions about Chu Yanzhi, and he couldn't help but feel a little more guilty about the prince, so he couldn't help but feel a little more disgusted and impatient when he looked at the unharmed Concubine Xiang.
"Alright, if you have nothing else to do, you don't need to wait here."
"Your Majesty, the pill is fine this time, but it doesn't mean that the pill sent next time will be okay too." Concubine Xiang was a little unwilling.
Concubine Xiang's unwillingness is now just a dying struggle in the eyes of the emperor, and he is now sure that the prince has not done anything in the elixir, and the prince still has a very heavy weight in his heart, at least a concubine Xiang is far from reaching.
"Concubine Xiang, you were promoted from the palace maid, and now it seems that you really don't deserve the identity of the imperial concubine, you go to the Internal Affairs Office to take the position, and from now on there will be no more Concubine Xiang in the palace." The emperor got up and stared at Concubine Xiang coldly.
It's still for the sake of her giving birth to a little prince for him, otherwise......
Concubine Xiang stared at the emperor in disbelief, now, where did she not understand.
The emperor is going to use her to show favor to the crown prince!
After a while, she smiled miserably, and spit out a few words from between her teeth, "Slave, thank the emperor for his grace." With that, he turned around stiffly and staggered towards the door.
The emperor looked at the desolate back of Concubine Xiang, but he didn't even wrinkle his eyebrows, he reached out and picked up the teacup painted with gold and dragon on the table and was about to take a sip of tea, when he suddenly heard a 'bang', and then the exclamation of the eunuch and palace maid sounded outside the hall.
"Xiangfei Niangniang, Xiangfei Niangniang......"
The emperor's eyelids jumped suddenly, and the hand holding the teacup shook, only to hear a 'bang', and the teacup in his hand suddenly slid down, splashing hot tea on the ground......
Concubine Xiang, dead.
It was Shen Guifei who had not stepped out of the palace for a long time, and at that time, Yan Guifei was kneeling in front of the Bodhisattva to chant the scriptures, and when she heard the news, she suffocated her chest, and the Buddha beads in her hand were scattered on the ground.
Concubine Shen looked at the Buddha beads rolling all over the ground, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but pull, and her delicately trimmed eyebrows were also raised, "What, looking at my sister's appearance, it seems to be very unexpected?" ”
Ruo Su glanced lightly at Shen Guifei's smiling appearance, and then stepped forward and stretched out her hand to help Yan Guifei up, "Niangniang." ”
Yan Guifei looked at the empty palms, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then turned to Shen Guifei, "Why does my sister have time to come here today?" ”
Concubine Shen smiled, raised her feet and sat on the wooden chair made of huanghuali next to her, leisurely picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then said with a smile, "My sister has lived in simplicity for so long, and now I realize that this day seems to be finally changing, how can I not come out to congratulate my sister?" ”
When the news of King Yan's death spread in the capital, she didn't believe it, although King Yan was raised by the emperor single-handedly, but with a prince who was relied on by a foreign family, he wanted to rise rapidly under the attack of the former prince and the Duke of Zheng and the Duke of Lu, and he also attracted many relatives and nobles in the court, he was by no means a simple person. However, later, the facts were in front of him, and even his 'corpse' was transported back to the capital, and Concubine Shen had to believe that King Yan was really dead. As soon as King Yan died, no one in the court could compete with Chu Yanzhi, so she had to endure locking herself in the palace, in order to escape, fortunately, Chu Yanzhi also took care of the identity of the adopted son and did not want to leave a handle to give her tongue, seeing that she was closed, she did not come to the door to trouble her again, yes, she could survive so far, but she did not expect that not long ago, she suddenly heard the news that King Yan was still alive, and before she could confirm the truth of the news, the news of Concubine Xiang's sudden death after taking pills came from the Chongde Palace, All of this is telling her that this day of Dayue is about to change!
Yan Guifei raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Guifei, the incident of joining forces with her to deal with Chu Yanzhi was still vivid, and later, she withdrew to protect herself because the situation forced her not to blame her, in this harem, there are no permanent friends, but now that Concubine Xiang has just died, she did come here to congratulate her, which really made Yan Guifei feel a little uncomfortable.
Catching a glimpse of Concubine Yan's expression, Concubine Shen smiled, they are all people who have lived in the palace for many years, who doesn't know who, "Sister, is this guilty?" It seems that Concubine Xiang really did not entrust her life to her sister in vain. ”
Ruo Su just helped Yan Guifei to sit down, and heard Shen Guifei coming, Yan Guifei was silent, she really couldn't listen to it anymore, frowned and looked at Shen Guifei, and said, "What is this sentence of Guifei Niangniang?" ”
Concubine Shen smiled lightly, beckoned to the palace maid beside her, and then said, "My sister met a palace maid in Concubine Xiang's palace on the way here, and it just so happened that she also came to my sister's palace to say that she had something to ask to see her sister, so my sister came with her." ”
There are some people in this palace who understand, Concubine Xiang just died, and the palace maids in her palace did not cry and mourn, but came to see Concubine Yan, what does this mean? Thinking of the cause of Concubine Xiang's death, and before Concubine Xiang's death, Concubine Yan had been to Chongde Palace, and even the two had a conversation, connecting all of them, it is not difficult to think of the real cause of Concubine Xiang's death.
Hearing Shen Guifei's words, Yan Guifei finally raised her eyes and looked at the woman sitting opposite her, thinking that once Zheng Guogong died, Shen Guifei would no longer have to rely on herself as if she was drowning, she never thought that she still had such sensitive eyes and ears in the palace. She didn't come here today just to chat with her about Concubine Xiang, but to tell her that she still has the strength to be used by her, and even to be cherished.
She's here to surrender.
Yan Guifei is very sure of this.
Looking at Yan Guifei's solemn expression, Shen Guifei was very sure that this concubine, who had gone through two dynasties and served two emperors, understood her thoughts, so she had nothing to hide at this moment.
"Sister, it's time for you to take action!" Concubine Shen stood up and stared at Concubine Xiang with burning eyes.
The life of the former prince Chu Jingzhi, as well as the fall and destruction of the Zheng Guogong Mansion, all of this was due to Chu Yanzhi, and even her miscarriage was caused by him, this Zhongshan wolf who was brought up by her, when she thought of this, Concubine Shen's heart hurt as if she was being used a knife one by one, this revenge is not avenged, she really can't swallow this breath, and now, it is the only chance she can hold, no matter what the price, she must take revenge!
Looking at the blazing flames in Shen Guifei's eyes, Yan Guifei frowned slightly, and after a while, she slowly spoke, "Right now, it's not time to ...... yet."
"Why not! At present, the news that Concubine Xiang has died after taking pills must have spread to the prince's mansion, but I am afraid that the prince will soon make a move, does my sister want to watch the prince kill at the gate of the palace! Shen Guifei stepped forward a few steps and stared at Yan Guifei with her eyes.
Compared with Shen Guifei's anxiety and urgency, Yan Guifei is much calmer at the moment. She held Ruosu's hand, got up slowly, raised her eyes and looked out the window, and after a while, her cold voice slowly sounded, "Look, it seems to be raining, wait, wait......"
Following Concubine Yan's gaze, a black and oppressive dark cloud floated in the sky.
The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.
Suddenly, such a sentence popped out of Shen Guifei's mind.
After the thunder, the rain finally came.
The raindrops are like scattering beans, densely hitting the tiles of the East Palace, crackling and ringing, outside the window, the rain curtain weaves a thick net, enveloping the entire capital.
Compared with this gloomy weather, what is more frightening is the master in the East Palace at this moment.
"What do you say? Concubine Xiang died, or was it because she took the pill? Chu Yanzhi's face was grim and Li Po looked more and more hideous in this cloudy weather, like a terrible ghost crawling out of purgatory, which made people feel cold.
Under the pressure of Chu Yanzhi's anger, Li Po only felt that every cold hair on his body stood up, but he had to answer Chu Yanzhi's question head-on, "Back to Your Majesty, the news from the palace is like this." ”
"!" Chu Yanzhi flicked his long sleeves and swept all the pen holders and inkstones on the desk to the ground, and the pitch-black ink splashed a thick stain on the white floor, "There is obviously no problem with the pill, how could Concubine Xiang be poisoned to death!" Could it be that you didn't pass on the meaning of this palace to Zhang Xianren! ”
As early as when he learned the news that Chu Xizhi was still alive, he ordered Li Po to bring a letter to Zhang Xianren and ask him to stop drugged in the pill, he always knew that his father was the most suspicious, although on the surface he was his most beloved son, but in fact, he knew in his heart that his father's favorite will always be himself! Anyone who threatens his imperial position, no matter who it is, he will not hesitate to give it up, including him! Therefore, he can't let him know that he has the opposite sex, otherwise, he will definitely cooperate with Chu Xizhi to get rid of Chu Xizhi as he did when he got rid of Chu Xizhi. Therefore, the pills in these days have not been toxic at all, so it is impossible for Concubine Xiang to die of poisoning due to taking pills!
Unless someone has done something in the elixir!
Thinking of this, Chu Yan's eyes sank suddenly, he suddenly bypassed the desk, stepped in front of Li Po in a few steps, reached out and grabbed his shirt and lifted him up from the ground, "Bengong almost forgot, if you really talk about it, you are Xiwei's cousin......"
"No, Temple...... Your Royal Highness, as you know, I was born in the Li Mansion, and my aunt and Miss Xiao Er have always had a disagreement, and Miss Xiao Er has never regarded her as a cousin! Li Po almost wanted to be burned by Chu Yanzhi's cruel expression, that is, he forced his composure, but he still couldn't hide the horror in his heart.
How much Xiao Xiwei hates the Li family, this doesn't need Li Po to say that Chu Yanzhi also knows, it's just that he resents Xiao Xiwei's deception and deception, so as long as he is a person who has anything to do with Xiao Xiwei and Chu Xizhi, he can't wait to cut them with a thousand knives, and Li Po is no exception!
Fortunately, when Li Po was by Chu Yanzhi's side, he always paid attention to making friends with the people around him, and at this time, someone in the prince's staff came out to speak.
"Your Highness, now is not the time to pursue this. As soon as Concubine Xiang died, the emperor will inevitably blame His Highness, and now the situation is very unfavorable to His Highness, the soldiers are fast, and His Royal Highness's top priority is to make a decision as soon as possible! ”
When Chu Yanyi heard this, he finally let go of the hand that was holding Li Po, and he raised his eyes gloomy and looked out of the house, "Come on, quickly recruit people!" Also, immediately send it to Mingxuan to see the main palace! ”
