Chapter 1188: Undercurrent

The absentee was Qin Ruren, she found an excuse for the disobedience of the jade body, sent a palace maid to come and confess the crime, knelt down and begged the queen for tolerance, the posture looked very humble, but it did not conform to the etiquette of the harem - the palace maid was not qualified to come to ask for the crime on behalf of the concubine, but the queen's new book, and had not arranged for female officials to serve in the halls, so that she could not use this as a lever to blame Qin Ruren for violating the rules, but if Qin Ruren was either too sick to stand, or was diagnosed with a serious illness, she should not be absent from the illness, which is a naked provocation.

Of course, Eleven Niang understands the grievances in Qin Ji's heart, she was originally because the Jinyang Palace's eyes and ears were all over the place, and she couldn't even sleep close for ten years, and finally looked forward to He Ye ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, thinking that she could keep the clouds open and see the moon, and the queen's position was within reach.

Understanding is understanding, but it doesn't mean that Eleven Niang thinks that she should be virtuous, although Yan Guogong is a hero, but who said that the hero family must have a queen? It's not that whoever is more ambitious will definitely be able to occupy the back position, since the competition is the emperor's heart, then whoever wins is not a matter of course, Qin Ji has always believed that her father and ancestor have meritorious service from the dragon, and the family is in the emperor's camp, and she should be the mother of the world, but she doesn't know that the person who stood in line in advance is not the Yanguo Mansion, the reason why she lost was that she was in a hurry, He Ye didn't want to marry Yan Guogong at the beginning, because this is not conducive to the overall situation, Qin Ji is not in love with He Ye, she cares about power and glory, even for personal gain, Regardless of the overall situation, although she is not the eyes and ears of the Queen Mother, she is of no help to He Ye, and now she has no posteriority, so she simply makes a small temperament and provokes the queen, Eleven Niang originally had no good impression of her, even if she focuses on the overall situation and does not take her life, there is no need to tolerate it again and again.

Only the queen has not yet expressed her dissatisfaction, but one of them has spoken out first.

For ten years, Xie Shi, who has made a good relationship with each other on all sides, leaned his palm to his lips, and seemed to be smiling: "Since the saint ascended to the pole, Qin Ruren has not been full of energy one day, why did he suddenly get sick?" Two days ago, the concubine also saw her holding her head high to find Liu Ruren to speak, and later tried to go to Zichen Hall to face the saint, although she was stopped halfway, and she was full of anger and argued with the internal officials for a moment, today she is seriously ill, the condition is so urgent, it is really worrying, I hope that the widow is not in danger, there is really a good one, is it not a pity. ”

The people here are old friends, and they know each other's personalities very well, Mo Shuoting was surprised by Xie's such superficial ridicule and even curse, even the Yuan family looked sideways, but Qi Ji was unmoved, just to see how the queen responded.

Today's Qi Ji already knows a lot of hidden secrets, such as between the emperor and the queen, it is a real husband and wife, and for example, Ren's death, of course, it is not because the betrayal of the servant Qianxi is so simple, Ren must be instructed by the queen mother, and he has already served the queen of the saint, of course, it is impossible to sit back and watch Ren's succeed, even if Qianxi does not have a "betrayal", Ren's will inevitably be defeated. However, Qi Ji is not sure about the queen's attitude towards the Qin family, after all, the Qin family is different from the queen mother's eyes and ears, and Yan Guogong has made great contributions to the saint, although the queen made an incident in Taiyuan that day, and even put the Qin family under house arrest, but she has not been cut down to the roots, which shows that although the queen is well aware of the Qin family's ambitions, she is not without scruples. In such a situation, the queen must of course focus on the overall situation.

However, if the Qin family's blatant provocation is tolerated, how will the queen deter the harem in the future?

Xie has been hidden for many years, and now he can't help but fan the flames, even though he was afraid that he would become the queen mother's sword and dagger, and he intended to sit on the wall and watch, but now that the saint has won the throne, how can she be willing to achieve nothing? The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, don't look at the queen who is already the mother of the world, but I am afraid that this harem will not be calm.

Qi Ji may not have no secret intentions, but she did not forget the queen's grace of protection, when she learned that her parents were dead, her siblings were in a foreign land, she had the will to die, it was the saint and the queen who prevented her from committing suicide, gave her hope, let her understand that there is still a chance to avenge her parents, there is still hope to revive the family, this is like the grace of reconstruction, and it is not an exaggeration to retribution, so she must be loyal to the emperor, no matter how many risks she is about to face.

If you want to talk about desire, there is only one thing, that is, to make Empress Dowager Wei ruined, die quickly, the saint is unwilling to kill her mother, but she is not afraid of the crime of great rebellion, if there is a time, she will definitely fight to the death, even if she will die with Wei, she will not have any hesitation.

But before that, she must repay the favor of the emperor.

But what if there is a conflict between the emperor and the queen? How will she choose?

Qi Ji's mind turned a hundred times, but what he saw in his eyes was still the queen's calm expression, and he didn't seem to notice Qin's provocation, and said with a slight bow: "Since Qin Ruren is infected with a disease, let her live well, before she recovers, there is no need to be bound by the palace rules, but I originally thought that the palace affairs are heavy, and I can't help Qin Ruren one or two, her illness is not good to be tired anymore, Sixth Sister, Qi Ji, only please two of you, starting tomorrow, before noon, in Penglai Palace, to help the palace affairs." ”

Once you complain about illness, you will lose your duty, and this is the price of provocation.

Gao Yuxiang couldn't help but show a faint smile, at this time he was secretly thinking that the Queen Mother was really not mistaken, the intrigue between the queen and the Qin family has seen the clues, it is impossible to coexist peacefully, the Qin family is closer to the saint after relying on the meritorious heroes, how can he be willing to condescend to others, at this time, he just lost the phoenix seal, he couldn't help but be arrogant and provocative, the queen was not to be outdone, using the game between the saint and the queen mother, be sure to fight for the opportunity for the descendants to assist, and give deterrence, the Qin family can not bargain, these concubines in the harem, at least dare not blatantly ally ally with it.

But in the heart of the saint, what will he think of the queen? It should also be dissatisfied with the queen's fuss, as soon as she gains power, she will show off her might, regardless of the fact that the Yanguo Mansion is from the dragon, especially when the queen even opposes the position of the Qin family's concubine, it is even more obvious that the exclusion of dissidents regardless of the overall situation, even if the saint pretends not to be angry at this time, when the battle between the queen and the Qin family becomes more fierce in the future, when the battle between the harem finally evolves into a battle in the court, will he always tolerate the queen's strength?

The emperor and queen centrifuge, sooner or later, the queen will finally realize that the emperor's heart is unreliable, the relationship between power and safety, the relationship between husband and wife will fall apart, and at that time, the queen mother will have a knife and dagger in her hand, and she will be exposed when she turns defeat into victory.

However, Gao Yuxiang's luck soon turned into shock, because an accident that happened immediately made him realize how ridiculous the Queen Mother's calculations were, like a trap in a trap, fighting in vain.

On this day, in the Penglai Palace, the queen's admonition did not go into a long speech, two moments later, you were allowed to return to your residence, but the Yuan family, who did not say a word, asked to talk to the queen privately at this time, the queen did not refuse, and even did not instruct Gao Yuxiang to retreat, but the Yuan family wanted to speak and stopped, Gao Yuxiang glared angrily, the queen slowly opened her mouth, and her tone was extremely calm: "Yuan Ji doesn't need to care about the high officials, if there is anything to say, but it doesn't hurt." ”

Until this time, Gao Yuxiang was not surprised, he knew that the Yuan family was stupid and arrogant, thinking that the so-called private words were nothing more than provocation and sprinkling, the queen deliberately left him at the scene, it should also be to show his weight, euphemistically show sincerity to the queen mother, with the wisdom of the queen, of course, understand that because the son of heaven seized the throne, the queen mother must have a mustard for her, and although the queen mother lost power, there are still many party members, and they are enemies, if they are friendly, at least the queen mother has the same interests as her, and she does not want the Qin family to favor the harem, let alone the future son of the Qin family.

But what did he hear?

"When the concubine entered the palace, she had to be told by the saint that if the queen mother asked about the Jinyang Palace, she must accuse the queen that she had already turned her back on the queen mother...... Knowing that old case, the concubine did not dare to disobey the holy order for the safety of the child, but now, the concubine understands that the saint and the queen should always be of the same mind, so the queen has never concealed the fact that the concubine has a child with others, and the saint let the concubine reprimand the queen, which is not unfavorable to the queen, but because the queen mother is convinced that the queen and the concubine are not in harmony, when inquiring about Jinyang, if the concubine is the queen to cover up, it will make the queen mother suspicious. ”

Is Yuan still talking about human words? What children? When did she give birth to an heir? It's still a red apricot out of the wall! And the saint and the queen have always been of the same mind......

The kneeling eunuch almost didn't fall back, staring at Yuan Shi with wide eyes, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

"The queen has helped the saint to seize the throne, and the saint obviously has no intention of the concubine's sin, and the concubine begs the queen to be gracious and pardon the concubine to leave the palace, even if she is a peasant woman in the countryside incognito, as long as the concubine can be allowed to reunite with the child's mother and son, the concubine has nothing else to ask for."

The Yuan clan prostrated and kowtowed, Gao Yuxiang turned his eyes in a different direction, and stared at the queen in a daze, he desperately hoped that the queen would angrily reprimand the Yuan clan for his nonsense, yes, it should be the Yuan clan's madness, suffering from madness, these are not the truth, don't be the truth!

But he heard the queen's still calm voice: "Yuan Ji, when you begged me to spare your child's life, I repeatedly warned that although I could agree to what you wanted, I would not allow your mother and son to see each other again in the future. ”

Gao Yuxiang finally sat down on the ground.

"I thought the Queen wouldn't be able to grant any more requests, but that's clearly not the case! The saint has ascended the throne and trusts the queen so much, but how can the queen be powerless for trivial matters? Back then, it was revealed that Mao Lin killed Hui Feng and framed Liu Ruren, but I acted on the orders of the queen, and I was also considered to be a meritorious servant, and the queen could not cross the river and tear down the bridge. Yuan's request was denied, and he said angrily.

"If you are not willing to do even this little thing, why should I spare your child's life? At the beginning, you were the prince and concubine, but you were tempted by a foreign man, corrupted your virtue and even tried to confuse the royal heirs, and you should be put to death, but now you are unharmed, still clothed and fed, you are the son of a foreign man, adopted by a good people, if you are loved by yourself, you are the eyes and ears of the queen mother, why should the saint and I be extrajudicial to you? "When Eleven Niang allowed Yuan's birth to have a son, firstly, because she wanted to use the Yuan's family to separate Mao Wei and Yuan Dezhi to completely turn against each other, and on the other hand, she also thought that the childish child was innocent, and the Yuan family did not commit a great evil, so she was somewhat unbearable.

But this does not mean that she will repeatedly indulge and satisfy her desires because of Yuan's motherly heart, and there is no friendship between the two.

It is human nature for mothers to cherish their children, but it does not mean that as a mother, they can demand excessively in the name of their beloved sons.

Yuan's once only hoped that the child could be safe, but now he hopes to know the whereabouts of the child, and even covets the reunion of mother and child, who dares to guarantee that it will not be more inch-inch, using the child to stir up trouble, after all, Yuan's was the wife of the King of Jin, and she gave birth to a child in the palace of the King of Jin, if he insists that the child is He Ye's flesh and blood, even if He Ye denies it, it will not be recognized by the royal family, but if someone has a heart to use it, it may become a hidden danger.

The queen said coldly: "Yuan, you have thought clearly, if you are obsessed, who will bear the brunt!" ”
