"What? You confirm that you heard correctly...... Is that really what Xia Concubine said?" Du Qinyue, who was waiting for the news in the palace, stood up as soon as she heard the little eunuch say this, with a look of disbelief on her face, "He dares to speak to the palace like this." ”

"Hui Niangniang's words are true." The little eunuch didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, and only said seriously, "That's what Concubine Xia said. Even if the slave is a dog, he doesn't dare to misinterpret the meaning of Xia Concubine Niangniang and cause a misunderstanding between the two of you. Therefore, the slave just truthfully retold Xia Concubine's words, and naturally didn't dare to say a word about other things. ”

Although this little eunuch is not very old, he has also been with Du Qinyue for a long time. Du Qinyue also understood that the little eunuch in front of him was loyal, and he would definitely not say anything more. What's more, these days, Xia Concubine ignored her love, Du Qinyue saw it in her eyes, and naturally she already had a little bit in her heart.

"Xia Concubine really said that...... Okay, Hongu understands. Du Qinyue snorted coldly, "After seeing that she gave birth to a child, Bengong thought that she had something to rely on, so she didn't take Bengong in her eyes!"

When she said this, Du Qinyue was already very angry, she slapped the table angrily, and inadvertently, she used a little more force, and the porcelain on the table was shaken to the ground, making a sound.

All of a sudden, a clanging sound resounded in the hall. In order to avoid a lot of people, Du Qinyue withdrew the other palace maids and eunuchs early, and now only she and the little eunuch are left.

Therefore, this clanging sound is particularly noisy in the current environment. The little eunuch listened to this sound, and the whole person was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe. Lest Du Qinyue be angry and unable to find Xia Concubine, he vented all his anger on his head.

Fortunately, Du Qinyue didn't mean to be angry with others at the moment, she was just sulking alone. After listening to the sound of "ding ding", her expression was miraculously calmer. Although the anger was still hidden under the eyes, it was no longer leaking.

"Hongu understood." Du Qinyue said ominously, and she didn't know which thing she understood when she "understood". Naturally, the little eunuch would not be stupid here, and chased after Du Qinyue to ask this question, so he still stood quietly by the side, not saying a word, as if he hadn't heard it.

"In a moment, go and call a few people over and clean up this place." Du Qinyue pointed to the porcelain fragment at her feet and said to the little eunuch, "This palace will go to the room to rest for a while, and don't let anyone come and disturb you." ”

The little eunuch knew these days, because of Concubine Xia's ignorance of Du Qinyue, Yang Fengyin disobeyed, coupled with this incident, Du Qinyue was already very angry in her heart, and she must be very bored right now. He didn't bother much, he just nodded, and even though he was in a hurry, he went to do what Du Qinyue told him.

And after Du Qinyue returned to the room, she naturally began to think quietly alone. The previous anger had dissipated a lot after that period of discovery, and now Du Qinyue didn't have much anger, but began to worry faintly.

After all, she has been in this palace for many years, and compared to her own joy and anger, Du Qinyue is most concerned about interests. After Xia Concubine disobeyed her, she not only lacked a useful chess piece, but more importantly, she was also worried about it, for fear that Xia Concubine would reveal the secret between the two before.

What's even more terrifying is that if Xia Concubine couldn't think about it for a while, and went to take refuge in He Suoyi's side, Du Qinyue would be even worse. Such things that are closely related to interests, how can she not worry.

"No, this palace has to come up with a way." Du Qinyue muttered worriedly, "Even if you force it, you have to force Xia Concubine to be obedient, and you must not get out of the control of this palace...... Otherwise, the price would be too great. ”

Thinking so in her heart, it didn't take long for Du Qinyue to think of an idea. At the beginning, she asked Xia Concubine to do things, which was precisely because she captured the psychology that Xia Concubine did not dare not protect the interests of the family. Later, Du Qinyue asked Xia Concubine's father to become an official and become a knight, and he successfully captured Xia Concubine's heart.

originally thought that such a plan was foolproof, who would have thought that after Xia Concubine gave birth to a child, she would have the idea of wanting to take care of the child with peace of mind and disobey her! Such a result is something that Du Qinyue could never bear.

After thinking about it for a while, she made up her mind, and immediately repaired a letter and sent someone to send it to General Du. The content of the letter is actually very simple, it is nothing more than asking General Du to find a reason to belittle Xia Ruhai. However, the deep meaning contained in this is self-evident.

Du Qinyue moved very fast. The next day, General Du received the letter. After receiving the letter, although General Du was a little puzzled and didn't know what his daughter meant, he didn't plan to ask more, and immediately said some reasons in the court.

If you want to say that this Xia Ruhai does have a bit of a handle. Although he is an honest and honest official, he is too pedantic, and after encountering things, he only blindly cringes and shrinks, and is destined to not be able to do anything big.

Put Xia Ruhai in that position, he will naturally not do anything wrong, but he will not achieve anything. After General Du said a few words on this basis, Shen Huo pondered for a while, and felt that what General Du said was reasonable, and immediately demoted Xia Ruhai above the court.

Poor Xia Ruhai is proud of the spring breeze, but it is only a year and a half of hard work, and now he has been demoted again, for a while, he only feels that his life is very gloomy, and after the court, he just stands there dejectedly, unwilling to move.

This is not the worst, the worst thing is that the colleagues around him ridiculed Xia Ruhai. Everyone in the court is very clear that Xia Ruhai was able to be promoted before, which can be said to be promoted by General Du, and now General Du has demoted Xia Ruhai, which means that it is self-evident.

Those ministers were already a little jealous, why did Xia Ruhai not have much ability, but he was able to get General Du's blue eyes. It's just that first, thinking about General Du, didn't dare to say it after all, only dared to whisper a few words in his stomach.

At present, General Du personally demoted Xia Ruhai again, obviously he didn't want Xia Ruhai and treated him as an outcast.

"Lord Xia, you can really be 'thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi'." One of the ministers came over and said meaningfully, "This official is still envious of your majesty today, but I didn't expect you to come down again in such a quick day." ”

"It's not to blame Lord Xia." Another minister sang and harmonized with the minister who spoke before, "After all, Lord Xia, it's obvious that the days in Hedong are a little short, and the days in Hexi are a little long—that's it." ”

This sentence is really funny and humorous. All of a sudden, the ministers present burst into laughter, and the scene looked very happy. However, Xia Ruhai, who was located in the center of the ministers, did not feel funny, but only felt embarrassed. He wanted to get into the cracks in the ground, his face flushed, and he couldn't say anything.

Xia Ruhai was very embarrassed, he couldn't say anything with his mouth closed, and he was like a stuffy gourd. And after the ministers teased Xia Ruhai for a while, seeing that Xia Ruhai didn't respond, they couldn't help but feel bored, and after laughing for a while, they scattered and left.

And it wasn't until the ministers left that Xia Ruhai remembered that he should go to General Du and ask what was going on. But General Du had already left early after going to court, so how could he give Xia Ruhai a chance to ask questions?

On the other hand, the first thing General Du did after he went down to the court was to tell Du Qinyue that Xia Ruhai had been demoted.

Du Qinyue obviously didn't expect General Du to move so fast, and for a while, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, only to feel that the spring breeze was proud, and even the dissatisfaction that Xia Concubine had brought to her before was almost gone.

Du Qinyue calmed down for a while, relieved her smile, and after feeling a lot calmer, she began to prepare her next plan.

Letting Xia Ruhai demote is not Du Qinyue's ultimate goal. In the end, she still wanted Xia Concubine to realize her power, so that she would completely give in to her, and never dare to have any second thoughts.

Thinking about this in her heart, Du Qinyue immediately made up her mind to tell Xia Concubine about this matter, so that Xia Concubine could realize how big a mistake it was to disobey her.

Du Qinyue did what she said, and since she had already made a decision in her heart, she would definitely not hesitate again. Her authorities deliberately let people reveal the news of Xia Ruhai's demotion and pass it on to Xia Concubine, so that Xia Concubine could realize how much mistake she had made.

In the palace, Xia Concubine was holding the second princess, her expression looked very peaceful, and the mother and daughter were together, looking quite a bit of "the years are quiet, and the present world is stable".

Xia Concubine doesn't want anything now, she just wants to stay with her children in peace, no longer under Du Qinyue's control, and no longer struggling in the intrigue in the palace.

Although she thought so, the result was destined to disappoint him.

Just when Xia Concubine looked calm and had a slight smile on her face, a palace maid suddenly ran over in a hurry, with a panicked look on her face.

This palace maid can also be regarded as Xia Concubine's confidant, and she has always been a steady and very stable appearance on weekdays. This is almost the first time that Xia Concubine has seen her so panicked.

"What's wrong? Is something going on? Xia Concubine looked at the appearance of this palace maid, and there was a faint bad feeling in her heart, and she immediately frowned slightly.
