Ping retreated left and right, and only the queen and Xiao Qi were left in the hall.

"Say whatever you want, if you can give this palace a reason not to kill you, this palace will let you go. ”

Xiao Qi raised his head and looked directly at the queen for the first time.

"Slaves and maids are not born slaves, but because the country is ruined, they have to survive in the cracks. Everything the slave does is to make herself able to live, so that all the people she cares about can live well. ”

"It is human instinct to survive, and no matter how loyal a slave or maid is, she cannot fail to obey her nature. The slave and maid knew that once the slave and maid helped Niang Niang to complete the purpose of poisoning Mei Ji, Niang Niang would not let go of the slave and maid, and would not treat the slave and maid's sister Su Lian well. ”

The corners of the queen's lips hooked slightly.

"Not bad. ”

"So the slave won't do it until she finds a way to live. ”

"Do you want to disobey the orders of this palace?" The queen looked at her and said coldly: "At the beginning, you swore that you would swear allegiance to this palace, but now this palace believes you and sends you to Fengtian Pavilion, but you don't do anything. Deceive the Lord and disobey the order, do you think this palace will let you go?"

Su Lian came to see the slave maid, and the slave maid knew that the queen was eager to kill Mei Ji. But with all due respect, the maid said bluntly that the mother had never considered the consequences of doing so. ”

"The consequences?"

"Kill a Mei Ji, there will be a second Mei Ji, Niang Niang really thinks, what you do everyone doesn't know? The king will not lack new love, the old one is gone, the new one will appear, Niang Niang, you can't kill it all. ”

The queen was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that Xiao Qi, a humble slave, would suddenly say such a rebellious thing. Every word poked at her pain.

"The slave and maid dared to assert that you are the master of the first palace, and you are kind to the king and the queen mother, so they have never asked about your harem. It is Changji's father, Xuan Jinghou, who feels unfair no matter how unfair, will not come to trouble, precisely because he knows that you have contributed to the country and the king. ”

Xiao Qi looked at the queen and said sincerely: "But can this really solve the predicament of the mother?" The king is the son of the royal family, the king of Duanguo, and there is destined to be no shortage of beauties around him." The king is a diligent person, and the so-called new love is just Yaxing taken out of his busy schedule, and he does not pose any threat to you. ”

"Xiao Qi, you are so bold, are you saying that I am jealous? ! Chang Ji died of illness, but not by this palace. You slandered Hongu so much, and said that you were here to live...... Hehehe, believe it or not, this palace will let you die in the Kunling Hall today, shut up forever. ”

"When the slave and maid walked into the Kunling Hall today, they were determined to die. But the slave and maid regard the mother as the master, even if they die, they must plan for the mother before they die. ”

Xiao Qi did not have the slightest fear, and continued: "Whether it is Chang Ji or Mei Ji, Niang Niang has decided to deal with it by covert means, which is actually to give the king a step and ensure that everything is safe. Actually, Niangniang, you know in your heart that everyone actually knows the cause of Changji's death, otherwise, if the Xuanjing Mansion came to make trouble, the king would have ordered a thorough investigation a long time ago, instead of keeping it secret, right?"

The queen took a deep breath and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Not bad. ”

"The king knows that you don't like Chang Ji, and he also knows that you don't like Mei Ji. Last time, he helped you deal with the Xuanjing Mansion, and this time, he will also forgive you for executing Mei Ji. However, again and again, there is no room for repeatedness. Even if it is a piece of clothing or a piece of jewelry, the king can reward people at will, but he will not allow anyone to covet and destroy it again and again. In this way, it will only make the king and your heart more and more farther away......"

"The slave and maid said a brave word, the biggest obstacle between the mother and the king is to respect each other like guests. Niangniang wants to be loved by the king, but she doesn't know how to maintain it. Niangniang only thinks that the age difference between you and the king is too far, so you can't achieve harmony, but in the eyes of the slave maid, the king has been dying in Duanguo for many years, trapped in the dispute between father and son, and under the imperial power, it is already very difficult to live, and there is no time to touch the private affairs of his children. The slave maid originally thought that Mei Ji was the most liked by the king, but after observing these days, the slave and maid found that Mei Ji was also cautious, for fear of doing something wrong and angering the king. Do you really think that such a beautiful girl is your biggest threat?"

The queen's body trembled a little, not because of anger, but because, Xiao Qi suddenly said the biggest pain in her heart.

She entered the palace in her teens, entered Duan Zhaoyi's palace, and became Xiao Yi's daughter-in-law. At that time, Xiao Yi was just a child and didn't know anything about love, but as Xiao Yi grew up, she couldn't help falling in love with him.

In the past ten years, she and Xiao Yi have not been husband and wife, this kind of feeling of being thousands of miles apart is obviously the closest person, but she always feels that she is thousands of miles apart, which really makes her more and more depressed.

She admits that she is jealous of Chang Ji.

The woman sent by Xuanjing Mansion just wanted to form a marriage with Duanguo so that they could communicate with each other in the future.

She knew that Chang Ji was just a tool for marriage.

However, when she saw Chang Ji coming to Duanguo for the first time, she was favored by Xiao Yi, not only pampered her every day, but also handed over part of the affairs of the harem to her and took charge of it on her behalf.

She couldn't watch anyone shake her status, even if she knew that it was just Xiao Yi lifting up Xuan Jinghou, she still couldn't swallow this breath.

She admits that she can't be generous.

Xiao Yi is the vassal king of a country, and such a luxurious identity is destined to have a group of wives and concubines. As a main room, she shouldn't be jealous.

But jealousy had driven her mad, and she would often overcome her own reason.

Sometimes, even she doesn't know how to control it.

". Seeing her hesitate, Xiao Qi continued: "It is impossible for the Hunan people to be tolerated by the Chu people, especially the bloodline of the imperial heir, and it is impossible to be tainted at will. Mei Ji is a Hunan person, this is her biggest weakness, such a person cannot be an obstacle to the king and the queen. Moreover, the king is a person who knows the importance of letting the Hunan people enter the palace as concubines, which has already attracted the opposition of the ministers, how could he lose his sense of proportion in front of the Hunan people and give Da Chu a handle. Come to think of it, the king was angry in the temple of Mei Ji that day, precisely because he didn't care. ”

"The slave maid served in the Maple Heaven Pavilion, and found that whether it was a frugal proposal or a careful service, Mei Ji catered to the king's preferences in every way. And it's not what everyone thinks, it's deeply loved by the king. Compared to the masters from the family, Mei Ji has no foundation, so she really has nothing to fear. ”

What's more, Xiao Qi was rewarded by the queen in front of Xiao Yi to Fengtian Pavilion, with Chang Ji's previous example, Xiao Yi must have understood what the queen meant.

But instead of stopping it, he allowed it.

This shows that Mei Ji is not indispensable to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Qi has seen what it means to be favored, Xiao Rui's mother, Concubine De, is the beloved of Emperor Dachu. If you don't see each other for a day, you will be tired of being together day and night. If they had to be separated because they were on patrol or in battle, they would write daily letters or rewards.

And Xiao Yi is definitely not like this to Mei Ji.
