Wei Lan'er on the side listened to Li Qingyi's words, and looked at Wei Baozhu's eyes widened.

But she was also smart enough not to say anything.

The two cared about Li Qingyi for a few more words and went back.

After sending the two away, Li Qingyi called Changning Chang over and instructed, "You two, pay more attention to Wei Jin'er's movements." ”

"Yes, girl."

Changning Chang Yan responded, and some understood why the adults asked them to spy on Miss Li.

This boudoir lady is so different from the lady next to her!

Today's Wei Jin'er's calculations, if they were left on others, must have succeeded.

However, Miss Li's response is really fast!

Not only is it quick to respond, but it is not an ordinary understanding of the situation in the court!

Changning saw with his own eyes that the moment Miss Li heard the four princes coming, she sank into the water and swam away!

This shows that she can calmly analyze her situation in the situation of falling into the water, and weigh the consequences of the fourth prince going into the water to save people!

The two of them left Li Qingyi's house, and Chang Yan said: "My lord said, Miss Li's words and deeds must be reported meticulously. ”

Changning nodded: "I'll go now." ”

*****

Yikun Palace.

The queen looked out of the hall and frowned.

Those sporadic lights circled the outline of the temple, as if it were a golden shackle, imprisoning the people inside in one place, and if they were not careful, they would be crushed.

Su Rong came back and forth: "Niangniang, Concubine Shu asked someone to send something." ”

Queen Wang retracted her gaze and said lightly: "Biography." ”

Concubine Wei's henchman palace maid walked into the hall lightly, holding a box in her hand, "The slave maid has seen the queen's mother." ”

Queen Wang raised her eyelids and glanced at her, but she didn't speak immediately, but took the hand of the palace maid beside her, and slowly used half a bowl of freshly boiled rock sugar pear paste, until the delicate small bowl bottomed out, and then waved her hand to let people withdraw.

"This is what Concubine Shu asked you to send here?"

Shixiang is the more powerful side of Concubine Shu, at this time she knelt on the ground and her legs were already a little sore, but she still smiled and said: "Yes, Niangniang, Concubine Shuniang got this ruby, and immediately sent it to the queen mother." ”

The box contained a ruby the size of a pigeon's egg, the crystal clear edges and corners reflecting the crimson light against the candle flame.

Queen Wang showed a cold smile on her face, and her tone was slightly fluctuating, as if she was telling a certain candle flame: "This palace remembers that the people in the palace of the concubine have always understood the rules, how come you a little slave and maid dare to look directly at the palace and speak!" ”

Shixiang's face changed, and she hurriedly lowered her eyes, "Niangniang is angry, the slave maid is in a hurry to offer gems, not to offend the queen, please forgive the ......"

Queen Wang snorted coldly, "Su Rong, give this palace a palm!" ”

Su Rong heard the order, did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately stepped forward to "snap" is two loud slaps!

Shixiang didn't dare to dodge, and knew in his heart that this was for Concubine Shu, and said again and again: "The slave knows her mistakes, and the mother forgives her sins!" ”

Queen Wang didn't shout to stop, Su Rong didn't stop, and opened the bow left and right with both hands, and the cheeks of Shixiang were purple and swollen, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding.

But Shixiang has been kneeling upright, and the box in his hand has never fallen.

After a while, Queen Wang said lightly: "Okay." ”

Su Rong stepped back and kowtowed respectfully, "Queen Xie." ”

Queen Wang glanced at Su Rong, who stepped forward to take the ruby that she was holding high.

Shixiang breathed a sigh of relief, "The slave and maid are retired." ”

When the person left, Su Rongcai walked up to Queen Wang with a gem, "Niangniang, what does Shufei Niangniang mean?" ”

Queen Wang naturally knew the meaning of Concubine Shu's jewel, "Such a blazing red color is obviously a sign of loyalty, but this palace must slap Concubine Shu in the face and give the Wei family a warning!" ”

Picking up incense and returning to the Spring Palace.

Concubine Shu saw her come back with a purple face, and her eyes were a little distressed: "I have wronged you." ”

"The slave and maid are not wronged, as long as the mother can be safe and stable, the slave and maid are not wronged."

Concubine Shu's expression was solemn, "If you want to be stable, it's not easy to talk about, from the day you entered the palace, this palace knew that it would be impossible to have a stable life in the second half of your life." ”

"Mother's ......"

Concubine Shu was depressed in her heart, "When I first entered the palace, my mother told me a thousand times, and my brother also promised again and again that he would never treat this palace badly. ”

"Isn't there already a way......

"This method is good, but the time is too hasty, if you want this method to be effective, you have to be ruthless ...... brother."

"Niangniang, although the palms and backs of your hands are full of meat, you have been planning for the Wei family in the palace for all these years, and the eldest master has always remembered this love!"

Concubine Shu smiled bitterly when she heard this, and she couldn't let go of her heart: "When the palace was not out of the cabinet, I was also pampered and grew up, but when I entered the palace, I was a pawn of the Wei family." No matter how hard it is, you must think about the interests of the family. Even in order to win the queen's trust, every time he was lucky, he had to drink the shunzi soup! ”

Shixiang was frightened when she heard this, "Niangniang! ”

Concubine Shu sneered: "In this palace, how can there be a good person, the queen was still kind and pleasant yesterday, and in a blink of an eye, it was the wrath of thunder, and the smile was full of measurements, if the palace is useless one day, the queen will abandon the palace, and the Wei family will also abandon the palace." ”

"! Don't talk about it! How many eyes and ears are there in this palace, and if they are heard, will not the long-term forbearance be in vain? ”

Concubine Shu didn't know how many grievances she had saved in the palace in the past few years, and all her brains came out, "Jin'er is the niece of this palace, and this palace has always loved her, but this palace never expected that she would push this palace into a situation of no return!" ”

"Mother, things won't come to that point."

Of course, Concubine Shu didn't want things to go like that, but she had to prepare for the worst whenever she could.

"In the past, the Wei family was close to the queen, at least the name was justified, although the elders were a little dissatisfied, but for the sake of the elder brother's dedication to being an official, for the sake of the meritorious service of the society, he would not make irresponsible remarks, but if he was not involved with the four princes, would the Wei family be peaceful in the future......"

Concubine Shu looked at Shixiang's swollen cheeks, as if she saw herself who would be trampled on the soles of her feet and humiliated in the future, "Since ancient times, strong ministers have to end up miserable in the end, not to mention being involved in the dispute between the princes." ”

Shixiang felt that Concubine Shu was too pessimistic, and said: "Niangniang, you can think of all this, how can the eldest master not think of it?" ”

Concubine Shu clenched her fists, "The holy decree of tomorrow's marriage will be sent to the Wei family, and it will only look at tonight." ”

Wei Mansion.

Front yard study.

Wei Shicheng had been sitting inside for an unknown amount of time, but no one dared to disturb him.

When the time came, the steward outside the door finally heard a call from inside, so he asked the lantern under the porch to be lit, and then asked cautiously, "What does the lord command?" ”

"Let Jin'er come over."

"Yes, sir."

After a while, Wei Jin'er arrived at the door of the study.
