Chapter 138: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake
"Queen," the Queen Mother shouted, "As the Queen, you have no distinction of dignity or inferiority. How can a woman like you who doesn't know the number of etiquette be able to take on the responsibility of ***?!"
Chu Wanxiang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what do you see?"
Chu Mohan looked at Old Madam Lin and Lin Mengdie, was silent for a long time, and slowly spit out three words: "I don't agree."
Chu Wanxiang said: "Your Majesty, Mengdie is your concubine after all, and it is natural for her to stay in Fengqi Palace, and the emperor can't deprive her of her honor!"
Lin Mengdie's tears rippled: "Your Majesty, please agree to the concubine!"
"This is my will, and you have no right to change it." Chu Mohan stood up, brushed his sleeves and left.
Chu Wanxiang bit her lip and chased out of the palace.
Old Madam Lin and Lin Mengdie were waiting outside the palace, and when they saw Chu Wanxiang coming out, Old Madam Lin said angrily: "Queen, the emperor is unwilling, and the mourning family will never indulge you again!"
Chu Wanxiang saluted and said respectfully, "The emperor is right. The queen mother, the concubine is not suitable to be this queen. The concubine begs you to retract your destiny and choose another queen who is virtuous and virtuous."
Old Madam Lin was furious when she heard this: "Queen, are you forcing the mourning family to abdicate and make way for Xian?"
Chu Wanxiang shook her head and said honestly, "The queen doesn't dare. The concubine only hopes that the queen mother can give the concubine a way to live. If the queen continues to obstruct, the emperor will be deposed."
"You!" Old Madam Lin choked.
Chu Wanxiang bent his knees and blessed: "The concubine said goodbye." Turn and leave.
Chu Mohan stood outside the palace gate, his gaze falling on the imperial garden in the distance. The garden is planted with a variety of precious flowers, which are full of flowers and beautiful. Chu Wanxiang walked along the lake.
She had mixed emotions and didn't know what to think.
Not far away, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, and a snow-white BMW galloped over. Chu Wanxiang subconsciously dodged away, but the BMW stopped in front of her like eyes. Chu Wanxiang raised her eyes in surprise and saw a handsome and handsome young man riding a tall horse towards her. He held the reins in his hand, turned over and jumped off the horse, and saluted her fists with fists: "The last will be the imperial sister-in-law!"
Chu Wanxiang returned the salute and asked, "Where is this going?"
The young man replied: "The last general was ordered by his father to escort the imperial brother to the Beirong border, and the imperial brother instructed the last general to take care of the imperial sister-in-law before leaving, please rest assured that the last general will do his best to protect the imperial sister-in-law!"
Chu Wanxiang said, "Thank you."
She was about to lift her feet and leave, when the young man suddenly reached out and stopped her. Chu Wanxiang's puzzled gaze fell on him: "Anything else?"
He said, "It is inconvenient for the general to call you the imperial sister-in-law directly, the imperial sister-in-law is not strange."
"It doesn't matter."
He said, "Can the imperial sister-in-law take a step to speak?"
Chu Wanxiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Please."
The two of them came to a secluded and uninhabited place one after the other, and he said, "I found out a little bit about last night's incident, I wonder if the imperial sister-in-law is interested in hearing about it?"
"Listen up." Chu Wanxiang said.
"According to the news from the spies, the Southern Xinjiang National Master is developing a Gu poison that can make the Gu sufferer's life worse than death, and it will produce illusions, and eventually go crazy to death. It is said that he has finished and is ready to take it and dedicate it to the king of southern Xinjiang. The king of Nanjiang has sent an envoy to Beiyan." Chu Mo said coldly, "That's why I want the imperial sister-in-law to stay in the capital. The king of Nanjiang is an ambitious man, and if we don't get rid of him in time, I'm afraid we'll get into trouble."
Chu Wanxiang frowned and said, "Do you want to use this matter to lure the king of Southern Xinjiang into the trap?"
"Although the king of Nanjiang is a vassal king with a different surname, he is powerful." Chu Mohan said in a cold tone, "This time, he must be eradicated."
Chu Wanxiang lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and said, "This really needs to be planned, but I'm worried that it will startle the snake. Our plan must not fail, and if it fails, we are afraid that the entire royal family will be implicated."
Chu Mohan said, "Don't worry, the queen has already made arrangements, and there will be no chaos."
"That's good." Chu Wanxiang breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, Old Madam Lin finally believed that they were not really quarrelling, so she comforted Chu Mohan, saying that Lin Mengdie was no longer suitable to stay in Fengqi Palace, and she should be demoted
He place.
Chu Mohan smiled faintly and did not agree to her suggestion.
A few days later, Chu Wanqing found an opportunity to enter the palace to cry to the emperor. The queen is pregnant and bullied her, and she is now unbearable to death!
Chu Wanqing cried in front of Chu Mohan for a long time, but Chu Mohan was always indifferent. Chu Wanqing was heartbroken and decided to move back to her palace to save herself from being harassed by the queen every day.
So the next day, Chu Wanqing moved back to Zhaoyang Palace.
Chu Wanqing lived in Zhaoyang Hall for a period of time, and she had to go to Lin Wanyu every day to say goodbye. Chu Wanqing is a concubine, according to the rules, Lin Wanyu, as the main palace, does not need to go to the morning and dusk to set the province.
But Chu Wanqing not only went, her attitude was much gentler and more polite than before, and she even accompanied her to visit the imperial garden to chat heartily, as if the sisters had a deep relationship. Although Lin Wanyu felt uncomfortable, she still greeted her with a smile on her face.
Chu Duhan was quite surprised by this, and couldn't help but ask, "When did the relationship between the queen and the fourth brother and sister get better?"
Chu Wanxiang smiled lightly: "The concubine and the fourth brother and sister have a very good relationship, but the concubine has always disliked to socialize with others, and she doesn't like to deal with people very much."
Chu Duhan snorted lightly, "I thought you had a conflict."
Chu Wanxiang smiled and said, "How can the concubine be willing to have a conflict with the fourth brother and sister?"
"Then you ......."
"The concubine is just worried, the matter of the king of Nanjiang has not yet been concluded, and if there is any accident among the four brothers and sisters, won't the concubine live up to her father's trust?" Chu Wanxiang looked understanding, "Fortunately, the fourth brother and sister are fine."
Jiang Qiyun heard that Chu Wanxiang's words were alluding to her causing Chu Wanxuan to slip on her tire, and she suddenly felt angry in her heart, but she still had to laugh on her lips.
"The queen is really kind-hearted, which is admired by the concubines." Jiang Qiyun said.
Chu Wanxiang smiled and said, "The fourth brother and sister don't have to see outside."
Jiang Qiyun lowered her head and pursed her lips silently.
Chu Duhan glanced at Jiang Qiyun: "Since the queen and her younger siblings are so hearted, don't leave today, and accompany me to drink and enjoy the flowers."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Qiyun smiled like a flower.
After lunch, the concubines left one after another, but the queen and Chu Wanqing stayed.
Jiang Qiyun caught a glimpse of the pastries and desserts on the table, took a piece and tasted it casually, and said, "The emperor's imperial dining room is not good at cooking, and the queen is still not used to eating."
Chu Wanxiang took a shallow sip of the cup, and said unhurriedly: "This palace has a good appetite, and the amount of food is also large, and I can't get tired of eating as much as I want."
Jiang Qiyun said: "The concubines envy the queen, no matter what kind of hardship they encounter, they will always be stormy."
Chu Wanxiang hooked the corners of her mouth: "This palace was also confused and hesitant, and later I found that as long as you stick to your heart."
"Oh?" Jiang Qiyun raised her eyebrows, seemingly a little puzzled.
"You, like Hongu, are also people with a rough fate." Chu Wanxiang sighed, "But this palace has the emperor's favor, but you have nothing."
