The two looked at each other, and Chen Xueying immediately saw that something was wrong with him, and was slightly stunned.

Lu Zhao immediately looked away and raised his hand to hold her wrist, this time she didn't insist anymore, but moved her palm away with his strength.

The atmosphere was a little delicate, and she noticed that the temperature of the man's palm was very high, and it instantly brought a slight dryness to her wrist.

Fortunately, he soon let go, and both of them tacitly did not mention the matter, but returned to the topic.

"Not surprisingly, the two requests you put forward, Concubine Li's side will not get a good answer. If she still insists on you agreeing, you don't have to enter the palace and avoid her recently. When the wolf cub is threatened, the she-wolf is the most difficult to mess with and will attack indiscriminately. Lu Zhao gave advice.

Chen Xueying nodded: "Don't worry, I have measure." ”

Sure enough, as Lu Zhao and the others guessed, both Concubine Xiang and Mrs. Zhong rejected Concubine Li's request, and no matter how she swore and swore by her, she couldn't let the two of them relax.

Concubine Li prayed humbly at first, but even if she knelt down, Concubine Xiang still disagreed, and immediately turned her face.

"Since you are reluctant to have money, why do you have to come up with an idea and let me go to the crown princess. Now that the crown princess has agreed, as long as you also give a part, she will do her best to save Xiao Wu. But if you don't agree, what do you want? Concubine Li's eyes were red.

No matter how stupid she was, in the face of this, she also sensed that something was wrong, and asked in a fierce tone.

Concubine Xiang felt a headache, she already regretted digging a pit for Chen Xueying before, and now Chen Xueying threw the pit back with her backhand, which made her a commotion.

"Concubine Li, it's not that I don't want to borrow, but I rely on the moon silver issued in the palace for food and clothing, and unlike you and the prominent mother's family, I usually reward the palace people tightly, and it was rumored in the palace that I was the most stingy master, and you don't know it, I really don't have money."

"But the crown princess has a rich dowry, and she gave the emperor a birthday gift, and as soon as she made a move, she was a tall wolf with a golden body, and then she also exchanged it for a wolf from the emperor, which shows how rich she is. She asked you to borrow some of it from me, just to make excuses, and she didn't want to borrow it. The concubine tried to explain, her tone soft and distressed.

She didn't dare to completely tear her face with Concubine Li, after all, the Zhong family was still standing behind, and on the day of the full moon wine of the five princes, Concubine Li and the crown princess went crazy with each other, and it was spread all over the palace.

She is a lowly concubine, and she is most afraid of this kind of crazy person, and she can't afford to offend at all.

Concubine Li sneered: "You still say that others are making excuses, aren't you making excuses?" If she really doesn't want to borrow it, just find a reason to send me away, just like you. She can say that after entering the Northern Qi Dynasty, she used her plastic gold body to surrender to the emperor and buy her own life, and then exchanged treasures for gold and silver, also in order to live better in the Northern Qi Palace. ”

"Who wouldn't cry poor, but she didn't. Instead, he actively gave ideas to the palace and proposed feasible ways, but after you dragged the princess out, you wanted to watch a good show as a turtle with a shrunken head, but when it was your turn, you began to push back the four. How can there be such a good thing in the world? ”

Zhong Li and Chen Xueying are against each other, although she has been defeated repeatedly, she will not lose in the face of people like Xiang Concubine, and she has not let her work at all.

These words directly pierced the true face of the concubine.

The concubines wanted to be good and maintain each other's decency, but Concubine Li didn't, so she tore up the harmonious atmosphere and made her quite nervous.

"Concubine Li, I'm not—"

She also wanted to explain, but Concubine Li interrupted her forcefully: "Don't talk this nonsense, I don't want to hear it." I'm telling you, since you came up with this idea, don't try to stay out of it. You have to borrow this money, and you have to borrow it if you don't borrow it. If it was because you delayed saving Xiao Wu, even if I was going to die, I would have looked for you desperately. ”

Concubine Li didn't take the concubine in her eyes at all, a palace maid who climbed onto the dragon bed, after giving birth to the prince, her position was still in the concubine, which shows how much the emperor doesn't want to see her.

The concubine has neither favor nor a strong maiden family as a backstage, as a dependent prince, she is still a cripple, and she is not afraid at all.

It's a pity that she can do this to her concubine, but when she faces her mother, she can't do anything at all.

Mrs. Zhong's attitude of opposition was more solemn than that of the concubine.

"Li'er, don't struggle with this matter, even the queen and Concubine Yu have not been spared, where do you think you are better than them?"

"Mother, of course the queen and Concubine Yu are not spared, after all, one is the crown prince, the other is the second prince, and the emperor's heirs were scarce at that time, so it must be to hone their will and compete for the position of prince. But now they have five sons, and the difference between Xiao Wu and the prince is still 20 years old, so there is no need to live so hard, just be an idle prince in the future. Concubine Li was slightly excited.

Mrs. Zhong smiled sarcastically: "What, now you want to be an idle prince and not have your further dreams?" ”

Concubine Li had said in front of her several times before, and she wanted to go further, and her ambitions were obvious.

Zhong Li's face turned pale suddenly, and her tone was empty: "Mother, I was just ignorant at that time, but now I have figured it out, as long as Xiao Wu grows up healthy and safe, it is completely unnecessary to fight for those things, and it may implicate our entire Zhong family." ”

Mrs. Zhong looked at her in a daze and couldn't help but sigh.

If Zhong Li could figure it out before, it would not disgust the emperor so much, but now there is no need to mention these things.

"In this matter, unless the Great Luo Immortal makes a move, no one can help you. At the beginning, the emperor only had one son of the crown prince, and he dared to throw him into the wolves, and he was not afraid of his own extinction and no one to inherit the throne. Now that he has five sons, he is even more afraid. ”

"Your idea is fundamentally untenable, when sons were scarce, the emperor abided by this rule. Now that he has a rich heir, do you think he will make an exception for Xiao Wu? Madame Chung directly denied her fantasies.

Concubine Li's eyes turned red instantly, these reasons were all comforted by her, and now that they were vetoed by Mrs. Zhong one by one, she only felt that the sky was about to fall.

"Mother, whether it's useful or not, at least I want to fight for Xiao Wu. Do you want me to do nothing and watch him being carried into the wolf's den? I can't! ”

"I only ask you to be a witness, the princess has promised me, but if you come forward as a guarantee, she will lend me money. I'm going to exchange this money with the emperor! ”

Concubine Li obviously began to cheat, with tears in her eyes, looking extremely pitiful.

Mrs. Zhong was heartbroken, but she still shook her head.

"It's not that I don't say yes, it's that I can't. The crown princess asked me to come forward, not only as a guarantee, but also to pull the Zhong family into the princelings. If I can really keep the five princes, even if I agree, it doesn't matter. But now I'm just doing useless work, let alone your father, even I won't agree. For the sake of a failed result, it is completely impossible to pull the Zhong family into the party struggle. "She was resolute.

These few words completely shattered Zhong Li's expectations, and she became hysterical.

"Mother, Xiao Wu is your own grandson, why are you so ruthless! If you don't even try, how do you know that you will fail? Besides, when it comes to party strife, the prince was originally the prince, how can he say that he is orthodox, that is from the dragon's work. When you talk about it, you just want to stay out of the matter completely and don't care about Xiao Wu's life or death. Mother, you are so ruthless! ”

Concubine Li's eyes were red, and she didn't cry this time, but her emotions were more excited than ever.

Mrs. Zhong closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her mood was also a little unstable, obviously stimulated.

"What do you mean by not trying, do you think you're struggling? The mother of the four princes in front of her, which one of them did not work hard, and various means emerged in an endless stream, but in the end they all ended in failure. Where do you think the queen's serious illness came from? ”

The reason why she couldn't afford to be sick was because her son was carried into the wolf's den, which went through twice. And the second time, she almost succeeded, but in the end, the four princes still became wolf cubs. At the beginning, the emperor asked the princess to come to your palace to make amends for your crimes, but the queen only sent a palace person to Longqian Palace, and the emperor changed his mind and promised not to pursue the matter, and agreed that the princess would not come to see you, just go directly to Fengzao Palace. ”

"You used premature birth to plot to let the emperor force the crown princess to bow to you, but the queen's fluttering communication made him change his mind, which shows that in the emperor's heart, you can't even compare to a finger of the queen's mother. But even so, the queen failed to make an exception for the four princes, do you think you can do it now that you have fallen out of favor? ”

After Mrs. Zhong said these words, she immediately gasped.

One is because I was angry, and the other is because I said so many words continuously and continuously, and I really didn't catch my breath.

In fact, she didn't want to mention the queen at first, after all, Concubine Li is not a person who will keep secrets, and once she goes crazy, she is likely to say anything regardless of it.

But she was really stabbed by Concubine Li's words, and she no longer cared about Concubine Li's face, and said it quite bluntly, and many of the words sounded quite hurtful.

Concubine Li was stunned, obviously stimulated.

After coming back to his senses, he immediately wailed and cried, his legs became weak, and he fell directly to his knees.

"So what am I going to do? Mother, Xiao Wu crawled out of my belly, how can I bear to watch him suffer? ”

Mrs. Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to hug her, and the mother and daughter cried.

"Mother knows, child, if you want to cry, just cry. Things may not be as bad as you think, at least the first four princes, after being carried into the wolf's den, are all alive and well. And you can also send a palace person to take care of it, and the five princes will definitely be able to grow up safely. Madame Chung wanted to comfort her softly.

But before he could say a few words, his voice trembled, and before he could say a few words, he choked up again.

After Mrs. Zhong left Caixia Palace, Concubine Li fell ill.

This time she really couldn't afford to be sick, she was already scared sick, because of the matter of the five princes, she was forced to beg for help, but now her hope is completely shattered, and the whole person is scattered.

On the day when the fifth prince turned half a year old, Qin Youan personally brought someone over and took the fifth prince away.

Before leaving, he specially went to Concubine Li's hospital bed to say goodbye to her.

"Concubine Li, the five princes took it away, don't worry, our family specially selected a pack of wolves with good personalities, a few she-wolves are good at taking care of the cubs, and they will definitely take good care of the five princes." Qin Youan's tone was respectful.

Concubine Li lay on the bed, struggling to get up, but she had no strength.

And the palace people who were serving beside her were all replaced, none of them were intimate, but they were all looking at Qin Youan's face, and no one stepped forward to help her up at this moment.

It was Qin Youan who scolded before a palace maid stepped forward to convince her and let Concubine Li take a look at the five princes.

"Little Five, my son. I'm afraid I won't be able to see the future, but you must grow up well. She reached out and touched the immature face of the fifth prince, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she was already in tears.

She is now described as withered and seriously ill, and several imperial doctors have come to check the pulse, but they all shake their heads.

Besides, she was tired and vomited whatever she ate, she felt that she didn't have a few days to live, and now this sentence sounds like a farewell, but it is actually more like a farewell.

The emperor was gracious, and Mrs. Zhong was recruited into the palace yesterday to accompany Concubine Li.

Now that I see this scene, my eyes are red.

"Pick all the valuables on the five princes." Qin Youan waved his hand.

The palace maid hugged the five princes and retreated, even if Concubine Li stretched out, she couldn't reach it.

The swaddling clothes were opened, and several palace maids acted lightly, taking off the bracelets, collars, etc. of the little doll, except for the clothes they were wearing, the rest of the ornaments were not left.

"Wait a minute, Chief Qin, Jade Pei raises people. This piece of chicken blood jade is not easy to come by, so let the five princes wear it closely. Madame Zhong couldn't help but speak.

Qin Youan sighed lightly: "Mrs. Zhong, it's not that our family is not accommodating, but those wolves have very smart noses. It is not easy to wear anything into it, and no matter how good it is, if you bite it in their mouths, you will either be bitten and crushed, or you will leave a few pit marks and be discarded, which is a complete waste of effort. ”

Mrs. Zhong nodded, and she stepped forward in person and reached out to remove the jade.

The palace maid hugged the five princes and leaned over slightly, let Concubine Li take a look at it, and then left with someone in her arms.

"Ahh

But because she was so sick that she had no strength anymore, Chief Qin and his party couldn't hear it as soon as they left the outer hall.

Chen Xueying was leaning back on a chair drinking tea, and Hua Lu trotted in quickly.

"Master, Concubine Li is gone."

When Chen Xueying heard this, she stopped drinking tea, and she couldn't tell what it was like.

"When didn't you do it?"

"I don't know the exact time, I heard that there is a lot of breakfast, but when the palace maid wants to serve her for lunch, I find that the person has left." Hua Lu shook her head, her face a little pale.

Concubine Li was so arrogant and domineering before, but now she is gone, and she doesn't even know when she died, which shows that the people around her didn't take her seriously at all.

Chen Xueying couldn't help but sigh lightly, she felt this cannibalistic court again.

When Concubine Li was favored, Lu Wuji held her up to the sky, and she wanted the wind to be the wind and the rain.

In several confrontations, Chen Xueying planned in advance to suppress her.

But because she almost cuckolded the emperor, even if Concubine Li was not the culprit, the anger of the old pervert was still on her, killing the palace people that Concubine Li was used to, replacing them with a batch of new ones, and then letting Concubine Li go to watch several princes fight, which was completely torturing her.

The emperor was so angry that even the Zhong family didn't dare to beak it.

The five princes were taken away again, and Concubine Li had no hope, let alone any hope of living.

was originally a bright and fresh person, but in just a few months, he was tortured to death.

Chen Xueying once again saw Lu Wuji's metamorphosis.

Lu Wuji didn't catch the current incident, and there were hidden secrets in it, but it still made him ashamed.

Mrs. Zhong was soon invited into the palace, and the fifth prince was taken away for a few days, and she received such bad news, and her heart ached.

In fact, Concubine Li's health is deteriorating, and several imperial doctors have also been sentenced to death one after another, and they are already mentally prepared.

But Mrs. Zhong still couldn't accept that Concubine Li was only in her early twenties, and she was even younger and more energetic before, and she was not a person who died early at all.

But a series of blows followed, and Concubine Li lived too smoothly in the first half of her life, and she couldn't bear such a big blow at all, and she collapsed, and even lost her life.

The emperor immediately recalled General Zhong, and it was not until he rushed back to Jicheng that he began to mourn, and when he was in the last dynasty, he chose a good nickname for Concubine Li and posthumously crowned the imperial concubine.

tortured her for a few months before her death, but she was given a considerable honor after her death, but if Concubine Li was allowed to choose herself, she would not have this kind of posthumous name.

Chen Xueying specially went to Caixia Palace to send it off, although they had old grudges before, but everyone died, and everything was scattered.

When she sat on the sedan chair and was about to leave, she looked back.

When the five princes were full moon wine before, Caixia Palace was lit up, and it seemed that it was still yesterday in retrospect.

And now look at the past, there are white lanterns hanging everywhere, a piece of linen and filial piety, the entire Caixia Palace has been cut off, it seems that with the departure of the master, this palace is about to become silent.

didn't take a few steps, but met General Zhong head-on.

When we met last time, General Zhong was still walking like a dragon, and he looked like a powerful general, but this time, his temples have seen white frost, although his body is still tall, but his aura is completely wrong, revealing a depression.

"Stop the car." Chen Xueying waved her hand.

The last time we met, she had just confronted Concubine Li when she bumped into General Zhong, and at that time she just nodded, and she didn't even stop the sedan chair, which showed arrogance.

Now that her mood is different, she officially meets him.

"The crown princess just came out of Caixia Palace?" General Zhong took the initiative to ask.

"Yes, this palace and the imperial concubine Niangniang are fated, although they don't get along well, but the last time they met, this palace agreed to her request. Now give her a ride, and the grievances are over. Chen Xueying nodded.

What she said was to show that she was unwilling to make enemies with the Zhong family, and she knew that General Zhong would definitely understand.

"The crown princess has a heart."

"General Zhong's Day mourns." Chen Xueying took a step to the side, obviously to make room for him.

The two said goodbye, and not long after she returned to the East Palace, someone came to spread the word.

"Crown Princess, Aunt Lan from the Shangfu Bureau will lead someone to cut your clothes."

Chen Xueying raised her eyebrows slightly, after she built the princess's mansion outside, she refused to tailor clothes in the palace.

After all, the popular style of the Northern Qi Palace is very different from the style of the original owner, and she does not want to have more to do with the harem, and she saves a lot of trouble if she does not contact it.

Therefore, these female officials of the Harem Shanggong Bureau have not taken the initiative to ask to see them since then, and they are very knowledgeable.

"Invite them in." She waved.

Asking to see at such a time, presumably this Aunt Lan has something to meet.

"Slave Lancao has seen the crown princess."

"Get up."

The orchid grass is not outstanding, but the skin is extremely white, and it makes people a little more delicate.

"The slave maid saw that the princess liked to wear a sheath yarn before, but the Shangfu Bureau had not had it before, so the slave and maid didn't dare to disturb it. After this period of time, I finally had this material, and the slave maid wanted to tailor it for you. ”

As she spoke, she pulled out a piece of material the size of a handkerchief, apparently freshly cut for a sample.

The tentacles are light and thin, and under the sunlight, there is still a flash, as if it was made by a merman, so it gets this name.

"Aunt Lan bothered."

"Don't dare." Lan Cao immediately bowed and saluted, and his attitude was extremely respectful.

"Okay, let's do it." Chen Xueying stood up, stretched out her arms, and generously let her measure.

Lancao measured her by herself, and then discussed the style of clothes she needed.

Chen Xueying took the time to wink, and soon the two palace maids who came with Lancao were taken away by Hua Rong.

"What happened to Aunt Lan today? There's no one here, so just say it. Chen Xueying asked softly.

Lan Cao took out an account book from his sleeve and offered it with both hands.

"Before the slave maid entered the palace, she was Concubine Li's personal maid, and after entering the palace, she entered the Shangfu Bureau, thinking that she could help her mother. But after all, he wasn't around, and something happened. Now that the mother has passed away, there is not even a caring person around before leaving, the slave maid went to see her, and she gave the slave a booklet. ”

"She said that she was going to die, and the concubine was still thinking about calculating her to fight with you, and she would definitely not let the concubine succeed. It's just that she can't take revenge, and now that the evidence is in your hands, how to act, everything depends on your wishes, and she can't control it. ”

Lancao explained the matter clearly, but when she said the last few words, her tone couldn't help but choke.

After all, there have been kindnesses, but now they are separated from each other, in addition to feeling that creation makes people, it is inevitable that there is some sadness in my heart.

"Put it down."

After Chen Xueying took it, she didn't look at it, but said a few more words, and then let her go.

waited until the bluegrass went away before she opened it, and sure enough, there was evidence of the concubine's guilt written on it.

Concubine Xiang's previous crying for Concubine Li was not fake.

She is indeed poor, one has no support from her mother's family, the two positions are not high, and the monthly allowance is not enough; She also wanted to subsidize the prince.

Money was needed everywhere, and there was no way, so she stretched out her hand to the palace people in the harem.

Concubine Yu is in power, and the account books in the palace must be flat, so that people can't make mistakes.

Concubines can't make money in big ways, but they can find another way.

She actually became an intelligence peddler, selling news from the harem to the former officials.

Chen Xueying couldn't help frowning, her concubine was really aggrieved, like this kind of intelligence leader is generally a palace person with a head and face in the harem, compared to the palace maids who can't get out of the palace, the eunuchs who are easy to get out of the palace will seize this opportunity.

Now, for the sake of money, the concubines are competing with the eunuchs for profit, and they are laughing out loud when they say it.

She groaned slightly, and a decision was made in her heart.

The reason why the concubine has not overturned so far is that she is cautious and does not sell all kinds of information; Second, some officials knew about it and wanted to catch up with the prince and deliberately sent money to her.

As for whether Concubine Yu knew about it, she was inclined to know.

After all, Concubine Yu is in charge of the harem, no matter how careful the concubine is, it is impossible for such a long time to be leaky.

As for why Concubine Yu didn't make trouble, I'm afraid it hasn't reached the point of tearing her face yet. ：，，
