Concubine Hui looked at the layers of ripples on the surface of the almond milk tea in her hand as it shook, and her expression was in a trance and thoughtful.

Seeing her stunned appearance, the corners of the queen's mouth raised slightly, and she quickly calmed her expression and said, "You have been in the concubine position for some days, right?" This palace remembers that you were a concubine the year before last, and it has been almost three years now. It is said that you are the most senior among the concubines, and now there is only one concubine Xi on the throne, and this palace feels that if you want to be promoted to a concubine, you can afford it. ”

Concubine Hui was overjoyed in her heart, and she couldn't stop smiling on her face, but she didn't want to show it too obviously in front of the queen, so she lowered her eyebrows and shook her head, and said humbly: "The queen's mother is promoted, and the concubines are still young, where can she afford the position of concubine?" ”

"There has been no happy event for a new concubine in the palace for a long time. The Queen Mother is the aunt of this palace, and this palace says that you deserve this position, and you deserve this position, understand? ”

Hearing this, Concubine Hui was afraid of missing out on something big, so she simply didn't pretend, and hurriedly got up and knelt in front of the queen respectfully and kowtowed three times, "Concubine, thank you for the promotion of the queen!" Niangniang's endechen concubine will definitely remember! ”

"You get up first." The queen took a sip of tea slowly, and said meaningfully: "It's just that you also know that Concubine Xi and the palace have always been incompatible, if you become a concubine, you need to always stand on the same line with the palace, understand?" ”

"This is natural, the concubines have always looked at the queen's mother."

"It's one thing to be the head of the horse, but it's the most important thing to understand the heart of the palace." She raised her eyebrows and looked at Concubine Hui and said with a smile: "For example, can you guess what Bengong is thinking now?" After that, he took another sip of almond milk tea.

Even if Concubine Hui is a fool, and the queen is so obvious, it is difficult for people not to know what she means.

Eradicating Shen Ci's worries also leveled her obstacles, swept away the queen's worries, and she could also get the position of a concubine, which is a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone.

Although this matter is difficult, as long as it is done, her status can soar.

Instead of spending a lifetime in the palace, it is better to fight for your future.

After returning to the palace that day, Concubine Hui began to prepare.

When drinking tea in the queen's palace just now, Xiangling's words were already obvious.

In the palace, only the imperial pharmacy has bitter almonds, if she goes to the imperial pharmacy to get this thing, her name will definitely be left on the file, there are traces to follow, and you can't get out.

So she instructed Huacui to entrust her relatives outside the palace to find a wanderer who traveled to Jiangdu from a foreign country to come forward to buy bitter almonds, and then find a way to send bitter almonds into the palace.

In this way, this matter has been traced, and the foreigner has left Jiangdu, how can he find it in the vast sea of people?

Even if Shen Ciwei is killed, this matter has become a headless unjust case, and with the protection of the queen, she is sure enough to get out.

When Hua Cui brought the bitter almond back and handed it to Concubine Hui, the master and servant were talking, but they didn't want Xue Yinhuan to suddenly break in at this time.

"Concubine Hui, the emperor said that he would come to Zhongcui Palace for dinner in the evening, you ......"

Seeing her coming, the master and servant looked flustered, and Hua Cui hid the bitter almond in her sleeve.

However, because he was too nervous, he didn't hold the palm of his hand, and the bitter almond slipped out of his sleeve and fell to the ground.

Xue Yinhuan recognized it as bitter almonds at a glance, so he wondered: "What is Niangniang doing with so many bitter almonds?" ”

Concubine Hui urged Hua Cui to pick up the bitter almond and then retreat first, and after the door was closed, she pulled Xue Yinhuan aside and muttered in a low voice, "You saw this, and the palace can't hide it." This palace asks you, you have lived with this palace since you entered the palace, and this palace treats you well? ”

"Niangniang treats concubines very well."

"That's it. Now you and Concubine Rong are the most favored, if Concubine Rong dies, then you will become the person at the top of the emperor's heart. She's the biggest obstacle to your favor, do you want to get rid of her? ”

Xue Yinhuan was shocked and stammered, "So...... Is Niangniang going to use this method to hurt Concubine Rong and the fetus in her womb? ”

Concubine Hui is not a fool, this matter was discovered by Xue Yinhuan, and she could only think of pulling her into the water to make her keep silent.

She took Xue Yinhuan's hand and said in a deep voice: "This thing was prepared by this palace, you and this palace together want to buy the palace people of Yong'an Palace, and give it to Concubine Rong silently." She's dying, our good days are coming! ”

"!" Xue Yinhuan changed her previous weakness, shook off Concubine Hui's hand, frowned and shook her head, "Once this matter is discovered, murdering the emperor's heir is a capital crime for the Nine Clans." Why do you have to commit such a taboo for the sake of a momentary situation? Don't you want your life, and don't you want your family's life? ”

"But this palace must fight for a future!"

Concubine Hui was a little excited, "This palace is a concubine, and the mother of this palace has been bullied by the main house and other aunts and wives in her mother's house, what can I do if I enter the palace?" At that time, the mother of the palace was damaged after giving birth to the palace, and there was no hope of giving birth in this life. There are two sons in the main house, the third aunt and the fourth aunt also have sons, but the mother of the palace only has such a concubine as the palace. Over the years, the palace has finally survived to the concubine position, but it is not treated by the emperor. Bengong's mother didn't get a look at her in the house because Bengong became a concubine. ”

Thinking of what happened to her mother at her mother's house, Concubine Hui couldn't help but burst into tears, "What else can this palace want?" The emperor's favor can't be counted on, only by earning the position of a noble concubine and letting her mother become a lady of the three grades, will the father pay attention to the mother, and the mother can raise her head in the mansion. ”

Xue Yinhuan heard the other meaning in her words, and asked: "Even if Concubine Rong dies, Niangniang may not be able to become a concubine." Is it worth taking such a big risk for this? ”

"The queen mother promised the palace, as long as the palace does this, she will definitely give the palace concubine!"

Concubine Hui seemed to be carried away by the interests in front of her, and became more and more crazy, "Besides, Concubine Rong has been grudging with this palace for a long time, seeing that she is prosperous, after she gives birth to the emperor's heir, where is there a place for this palace?" ”

"So it was all the idea of the queen mother?" Xue Yinhuan gasped and analyzed in a low voice: "If this matter can really not be detected, has Niangniang ever thought about why the queen didn't do it herself?" On the contrary, I want you to make a move, and I want to give you the position of concubine for nothing? Niangniang is not afraid that after the incident in the east window, the queen will bite back and confess to you, borrowing a knife to kill two birds with one stone, in the end she is proud of the spring breeze, and only you are affected! ”

Concubine Hui was full of embarrassment, and she looked a little out of place with the image of being scared when she met people in the past.

"But what can Hongu do? The queen has already spoken, and if this palace does not do what she says, it will offend her. If she and Concubine Rong are offended, how should this palace deal with itself in the harem? ”

Xue Yinhuan pondered for a moment and asked rhetorically: "Did Niangniang think about going over to join Cheng Rong Concubine?" The queen regarded her as a thorn in her side, and so did Concubine Rong. If Niangniang sells Concubine Rong a favor and lets her know how the queen is going to murder her behind her back, then Concubine Rong feels that Concubine Rong will definitely remember Niangniang's goodness. She has holy grace, and her pillow blows in the emperor's ears, so it is more useful. Niangniang herself said that if Concubine Rong gave birth to this child, it would be just around the corner for the concubine and the concubine. She gained power and fought against the queen, and the mother followed her, which may not be a good destination. ”

She said, lowered her voice very low, and said: "Don't hide it from the mother, the concubine will also seek support for herself when she enters the palace, so the concubine knows how to surrender to Concubine Rong early on, and the same is true of the Fu nobleman who seems to be ignorant of the world." The queen is vicious, and the concubine is down. The two strong competed, and the concubines would rather cling to the people who were upright, and they definitely didn't dare to have any intersection with the vicious people. ”

"After all, who knows one day when the murderous knife in her hand won't stab us?"
