Chapter 108: The Battle in the Palace
King Ling was seriously injured in search of an antidote, and Princess Ling returned to the palace to take care of King Ling, and the news of her recovery soon spread throughout the capital.
And this news was released by Zhan Xinglan.
It was rumored that Fu Xuanlin was disgusted with Zhan Xinglan's ruined appearance and left the capital.
Such a targeted rumor, you don't have to think about it to know that Fu Tingxuan let people spread it.
The three of them become tigers, as long as they lose the hearts of the people, Fu Xuanlin can quietly withdraw from the battle for the throne.
Now that Zhan Xinglan has let people spread the facts, the people immediately changed their tune, as long as they talk about Fu Xuanlin, they are all praise.
There are even many young ladies to be married who regard Fu Xuanlin as their dream lover and vow to marry a good son-in-law who is as infatuated as Fu Xuanlin.
Fu Tingxuan saw that the situation was not good, so he was so angry that he went crazy in the East Palace.
"What a peerless son-in-law! He's a beast who doesn't look like he's on the outside!"
Xi Li'er was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, and carefully picked up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground one by one.
"Brother Tingxuan is so angry, is it because he dislikes King Ling, or is it because the people praise King Ling and his wife for their affection?"
Fu Tingxuan glared at Xi Lian'er angrily, "What did you say?"
Seeing Fu Tingxuan's reaction so fierce, Xi Li'er handed the broken porcelain piece to the little yellow door serving beside her, and then waved her hand to signal the little yellow door to retreat.
She smiled softly and walked to Fu Tingxuan's side, raising her hand to rub his shoulders for him.
"Brother Tingxuan and King Ling are now the two most face-stinting princes in front of their father, and the eyes of the people are all looking at it. If the market praises King Ling more, the status of Brother Tingxuan will drop by one point. Instead of spending his time on King Ling, Brother Tingxuan should make some movements, so that the people also know that Brother Tingxuan, the prince, is also well-deserved. If Brother Tingxuan can trust Li'er, Li'er has a good way."
Fu Tingxuan's brows gradually stretched, and he patted the back of Xi Li'er's hand.
"Only you can solve problems for this palace at a critical moment."
After a while, Fu Tingxuan left Xi Li'er's Cheng'en Palace.
The sun was dazzling, Xi Li'er stood under the porch and lowered her head to look at the small cut on the tip of her index finger, and smiled bitterly.
"Hmph, it's just that King Ling treats Zhan Xinglan with deep affection, and even puts life and death out of the way. Why are you so angry? In the end, you are still thinking about Zhan Xinglan in your heart, so the more loving and affectionate the husband and wife, the more angry and angry you will be."
Xi Li'er wiped the remaining blood stains on the tips of her index finger with her thumb, and raised her eyes to look at Fu Tingxuan's distant back, her eyes full of disappointment.
She originally thought that she was the woman Fu Tingxuan really liked.
But after marrying into the East Palace, she slowly discovered that Fu Tingxuan's heart had never been able to let go of Zhan Xinglan.
Xi Li'er sneered, turned around and entered the house.
After a while, a small yellow door walked in.
"Concubine Niang Niang."
"Have there been any strange people entering and leaving the Chongren Hall recently?"
"Returning to Concubine Niangniang, except for Concubine He, who often enters and exits the Chongren Palace, no one enters the Chongren Palace."
Xi Li'er frowned.
"Concubine Ho?"
Ke Wanning and He Fuyan are on the same page, how did they come together?
"Alright, I see, let's go down."
The little yellow door bowed its head and retreated.
Xi Li'er sighed, "It's so hot this day, could it be that there is something cool and wanton in Chongren Hall that provokes He Fuyan to run there so diligently."
No matter how much Fu Tingxuan likes Zhan Xinglan, Zhan Xinglan is already married to King Ling.
For Xi Li'er, Ke Wanning and He Fuyan are the people she really has to be afraid of.
It was noon, and the canopy of the trees outside the Chongren Hall just kept the sun out of the shade, so it was really cool.
"Returning to the crown princess, Concubine Xi asks to see her."
Vanilla said respectfully to Ke Wanning.
"Yo, it looks like Chongren
The palace is indeed a good place, even the concubine Xi has to come to touch the luxury."
He Fuyan held the tea pot and looked at Ke Wanning tentatively.
"It's a hot day, please invite Concubine Xi in."
After a while, Xi Li'er walked in, and she saw Ke Wanning and He Fuyan sitting on the same seat at a glance, just by looking at this, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is much closer than her. Z.br>
"The concubine greets the crown princess."
Ke Wanning raised her hand, "Get up, give me a seat."
The three of them each have ghosts, and the dark tide is surging.
Today was the first time the three of them had sat together since the Queen's birthday banquet.
He Fuyan was framed and poisoned by Ke Wanning and Xi Li'er.
Although the queen returned He Fuyan's innocence to the outside world, she no longer loved He Fuyan as much as before.
Xi Li'er sat aside and smiled at the two, "I didn't expect Concubine He to be here, I knew this, so the concubine brought more ice fruits."
He Fuyan also smiled back and said, "It's okay, if Concubine Xi has a heart, it is better to go to Lizhen Hall to sit another day, you and I are both concubines, so we should have more contacts."
"It's nature."
Xi Li'er said with a smile.
Ke Wan looked at them quietly, and she only lowered her head to drink tea, and didn't say anything.
The three of them chatted a few words, and it wasn't until lunch that He Fuyan and Xi Li'er left side by side.
After Ke Wanning waited for them to go out, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Hmph, I'm really stupid, can't I hear what's in your words?"
Vanilla asked worriedly, "Crown Princess, Concubine He has come to see you frequently recently, and said that she wants to join forces with you to deal with Concubine Xi, do you plan to join forces with her?"
"Seeing that He Fuyan had lost power, she naturally wanted to find another way to gain a foothold in the East Palace. I was so angry with her before, how could I really join forces with her? However, it is also true that Xi Li'er has the favor of the crown prince exclusively, and if you want to gain a firm foothold in the East Palace, you must first get rid of Xi Li'er."
Vanilla was faintly worried.
After all, He Fuyan and Xi Li'er are not a little smarter than Ke Wanning.
If Ke Wanning was calculated, how could she, a servant, be better off?
The shade of the trees outside the Chongren Hall was very cool, and He Fuyan and Xi Li'er stood in the shade and looked at each other.
"When did Concubine He become so close to the crown princess? My sister didn't know it."
"The three of us serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince together, and we should have more contacts with each other. However, Sister Xi serves His Royal Highness the Crown Prince day and night, and I just want to get close to Sister Xi, and I have to have a chance. If Sister Xi is free, she can come to the Lizhen Hall to sit, and I welcome it."
"Then my sister is going to bother my sister more."
"That's good, then my sister will go first."
He Fuyan smiled and turned to leave.
Although she lost power, she would never surrender her identity to visit Xi Lian'er, whose family background was inferior to her.
Xi Li'er looked at He Fuyan's back with a smile, and had already guessed in her heart what Ke Wanning and He Fuyan were plotting.
Fighting in the palace, there are never eternal allies.
As long as it is beneficial to themselves, the three of them can immediately defect at any time.
The sun is at its peak at noon, and the day is very hot, and the maids of the Yellow Gate Palace in the palace are lazy and lazy.
Fu Ruohan looked at the yellow doors on both sides of the Lizheng Hall with a sad expression, and coughed lightly.
When the two yellow doors saw Fu Ruohan coming, they immediately lifted their spirits.
"See the second princess."
Fu Ruohan nodded, the two willow leaf thin eyebrows on the thin cheeks stood on a pair of beautiful Danfeng eyes, the small nose and slightly plump lips added a little softness, and the whole face can only be described by the word elegant.
"It's all so listless, the queen mother will come over later, but you will feel better."
The two yellow doors stiffened up in embarrassment.
Seeing this, Fu Ruohan continued: "It's getting hotter and hotter, I'll go to discuss with Zhang Siyao when I'm done later
A bowl of mung bean soup to relieve the heat, don't call yourself sick."
"Thank you, Second Princess, thank you, Second Princess."
The two yellow doors thanked them.
After Fu Ruohan left, the two looked at each other.
They knew that Fu Ruohan had come to remind them on purpose.
Sure enough, after a while, Fu Ruohan walked over with the veiled Empress Yue.
Empress Yue stood outside the hall and looked at the yellow door on the left and the yellow door on the right, and found that they really had nothing to fault with, so she snorted and walked into the hall.
"In the end, the people in my palace are all trained by good students, unlike the cheap maids in Sheng Zhaoyi's palace, who dare to talk about the appearance of the queen of the dynasty on the road! It is hateful to be disrespectful!"
Empress Yue was so angry that she sat on the stool, and the little palace maid behind her hurriedly picked up a fan to fan her.
Fu Ruohan poured a cup of tea and served it to Yue Hou.
"The queen mother is discouraged."
Empress Yue glared at Fu Ruohan, shook her hand and knocked over the tea pot in her hand.
There was a crisp sound, and the tea pot fell to pieces.
"Degassing? How do I degasrate? When others say that about your mother, you stand by and stand motionless like a dead man! You're still not my own!"
Fu Ruohan hurriedly knelt down, "The queen mother's anger is all her daughter's fault."
"Hmph, you're so deferential on the surface, but you actually hate me in your heart." Empress Yue sneered, turned her head and stopped looking at her.
"My daughter doesn't dare."
"Don't dare doesn't mean you don't hate, you're willing to enter the palace to serve me now, it's just because you're in the way of the eyes of others, not really honoring me. Don't think I don't know, the death of the colt back then was counted on my head in your heart."
As soon as he mentioned the horse, Fu Ruohan's eyes trembled slightly.
"Over the years, my daughter has never blamed the queen mother for the death of Yilang, and the daughter knows that Yilang was unfortunately killed and has nothing to do with the queen mother."
Empress Yue looked at Fu Ruohan and raised her eyebrows.
"Then I'm wrong about you. Alright, it's not early, let's go get lunch."
"Yes." Fu Ruohan bowed slightly, lifted the hem of his skirt and asked someone to prepare lunch.
After lunch, Fu Ruohan asked people to bring ice water and handkerchiefs.
"Please lie down, and my daughter will ice you down."
Who knew that Empress Yue waved her hand.
"Not today."
"Ke Zhang Si said that the rash on the queen mother's body was caused by poisoning, and although ice compress could not detoxify, it could relieve the symptoms of dryness, heat and itching."
Empress Yue smiled slightly, the red rash on her face made her look like a ghost.
"Oh, haven't you heard? Princess Ling has been detoxified, not to mention the recovery of her appearance, but even better than before. I believe that the antidote will be sent to the palace soon."
