Rong Concubine Zheng Yiqing rose again, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and a month later, Yulin issued another decree and restored the concubine position. Concubine Rong was favored again, and she was proud for a while.

Lu Yuan and the others were calm on their faces, and sent rich congratulatory gifts as usual, and there were also some small-hearted people who couldn't help chewing their tongues behind their backs, and Qiao promised to tease sourly: "Thanks to Concubine Rong, she has a good father, otherwise she will die in the position she promised." ”

Lu Yuan and the others just smiled when they heard it, so unstable and breathless couldn't become any climate after all, no wonder they have never been promoted.

On this day, Concubine Shun took a lunch break and felt impatient, so she walked out alone, wanting to walk around and relax.

Unconsciously walked to the Qiong Garden, saw the flowers in it, the bee saucer danced, then stepped into the garden to visit the spring, walked tired, sat down in front of a two-person high boulder to rest, suddenly heard the voice of a woman talking behind the boulder.

I only heard a woman say: "Concubine Rong is reset, what is the movement of Concubine Ying and Concubine Yi?" Concubine Shun could hear that this was the queen's voice.

Another woman replied, "According to the concubine's observation, there is no movement for the time being. ”

Concubine Shun listened carefully, and couldn't tell for a while, so she turned slightly sideways to look behind the stone, and saw a woman wearing an autumn-colored pipa robe facing each other, and it was actually a good concubine.

Concubine Shun was taken aback, and her heart was pounding. The good concubine looks like she has no quarrel with the world, is kind and friendly, and is very friendly with Yuanyuan's sister, and she doesn't want to have some heads with the queen. She tried her best to contain the shock in her heart and continued to listen.

I only heard the queen's tone slightly dissatisfied: "At this time, you should also seize the opportunity to do something, let the concubines compete with Concubine Rong and the snipe, so that the palace can profit." ”

The concubine said in a low voice: "Niangniang forgives her sins, and the concubine hasn't come up with an idea for a while." ”

The queen paused, and then said, "Is the servant girl you just said reliable?" ”

Concubine Liang replied: "Ming Qing is Concubine Ying's personal maidservant, she has been serving in front of her for more than two years, and she has won the trust of Concubine Ying, and she has a handle in the hands of the concubine, so she is not afraid that she will be disobedient." ”

Concubine Shun was about to listen, and suddenly her personal maid Yingqin came from behind. It turned out that Yingqin saw that the master had gone out alone for a long time and had not come back, so she was worried and came all the way.

As soon as Yingqin called out, she was hurriedly covered by Concubine Shun, and pulled her to hide in the lush vegetation, and a plum blossom glazed hairpin worn in a hurry fell into the grass.

The two people behind the boulder heard the movement, and hurriedly turned from the back of the stone to the front, the queen was slow because of the inconvenience of her big belly and poop, and the good concubine took care of the queen, and also took a step slower, and stayed in front, only to see two backs in the bushes flashed and disappeared.

The queen looked at the luxuriant bushes and asked the concubine, "Can you see who it is?" ”

The concubine shook her head, and suddenly saw a shining thing lying in the grass not far away, picked it up and saw that it was a piece of jewelry, it looked a little familiar, searched hard in her mind, and suddenly remembered, "It's Shun Concubine." ”

The queen glanced at her hand a few times, nodded and said, "Yes, she usually wears it." She has always been close to Ying Concubine, and now that she has overheard our conversation, she will definitely go to tell the truth, things are not good, you have to think of a way quickly. ”

The concubine lowered her eyebrows and said: "What Niangniang said is very true, the concubine will definitely plan as soon as possible to block the mouth of the concubine." ”

Speaking of which, the two went their separate ways.

Concubine Shun walked all the way back and walked straight into the side hall of Jingxi Palace. Lu Yuan was reading a book, and when she saw Concubine Shun coming in in in a hurry, her expression was not as usual, she stood up and said, "Where did my sister come from, why is she in such a hurry?" ”

Concubine Shun was in a hurry, a little out of breath for a while, she glanced at Biluo next to her, Biluo understood, and walked out.

Concubine Shun settled down, and told Lu Yuan what she had just seen and heard in Qiongyuan, Lu Yuan listened, her face became stunned, and a slight cold sweat appeared on her back.

"Sister Cao won't be that kind of person, you must be wrong." Lu Yuan was shocked: "And Mingqing, she has been by my side for two years, she has always been calm and proper, and she will never have the heart to harm me." ”

Concubine Shun looked at her deeply: "As the old saying goes, knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, anyone can eat inside and outside in front of interests." The good concubine usually looks loyal, but she is also greedy in her heart, and it must be the queen who promised her benefits that made her defect. ”

Lu Yuan suddenly vaguely remembered the red pomegranate bracelet on the wrist of the concubine at the beginning, could it be that the concubine had already taken refuge in the queen at that time? It's just that Mingqing has been following her for a long time, and she treats her like a sister, why does she betray herself?

Lu Yuan was in turmoil for a while, shock, doubt, disappointment, and sadness welled up in her heart, and she had mixed feelings.

Concubine Shun was a little unbearable, but she still said firmly: "The queen is friendly on the face, in fact, the city government is very deep, and now the concubine is in cahoots with her, and Ming Qing is the internal response, your situation is very dangerous." ”

Speaking of the situation, Lu Yuan suddenly realized and worried: "My sister has already exposed herself, isn't it more dangerous?" ”

Concubine Shun smiled faintly: "After all, I am not their target, but since they already know that it is me, they will definitely try to contain me." I already know that I just need to be more guarded. ”

After Concubine Shun left, Lu Yuan only sat in a daze, and didn't even notice that Biluo walked in.

Bi Luo saw that her expression was different, and said worriedly: "Is there anything bad about the slave maid seeing that the concubine's behavior is different from usual?" ”

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, and told her what was going on, and Bi Luo was also startled: "Miss Qing, but the Queen Mother personally pointed out the one who served Niangniang, and I don't want us to pour out the inner ghost ourselves." ”

Lu Yuan groaned: "I didn't believe it at first, but Sister Shun insisted that she didn't hear it wrong, and she had to believe her words." ”

Biluo thought for a while and said, "Speaking of which, Miss Qing's recent behavior is indeed not as good as before, but I'm afraid that she really responds." ”

Lu Yuan sighed slightly: "I just hope that she is forced to do so." Now the situation is complicated, and the enemy is on the back, which is really unguardable. ”

Biluo said: "Niangniang should not act rashly at this time, but also respond to all changes with the same." ”

Even though she was upset, Lu Yuan still lived and ate as usual, without showing any traces.

It's just that there is a coolness in my heart, spread all over the internal organs, and every time I think of it, I feel heartache, betrayed by people I know and are close to, probably this feeling.
