Chapter 19: Ethereal and Invisible

Regarding Concubine Xiao's kindness, Concubine Hua did not have any doubts. She reached out and clasped Concubine Xiao's hand, still feeling no warmth. In this scorching summer, Concubine Xiao's hands are extremely comfortable to touch, but Concubine Hua is a little curious, since Concubine Xiao came back from Guo Qiuyue, her hands have not been as warm as before.

But Concubine Hua didn't ask much, but said: "Sister, I can understand your kindness, since Zhu Shenchu has come to the capital thousands of miles away, and there is no hurry to go to Qingning Palace, so let's wait for Zhu Shenchu to rest for a day, you and I will enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother again, what does my sister think?"

Concubine Xiao was scheming just to get close to the Queen Mother, she naturally hoped that the sooner the better, but since Concubine Hua said so, she couldn't say anything more, so she smiled and said: "My sister said so, my sister naturally respects my sister's opinion, then we will go to Qingning Palace tomorrow to visit the Queen Mother, and the two of us will no longer bother my sister." ”

Then the two got up and prepared to leave the Corning Palace. Concubine Hua then stood up and said, "Well, the queen mother's body has two Lao." ”

Concubine Xiao turned around, looked at Concubine Hua with a sincere face, and smiled slightly: "Where does my sister say, it is an honor for us to be able to do things for the Queen Mother, so I will leave first." ”

After Concubine Hua sent Concubine Xiao and Concubine Xiao out of the door, she turned around and returned to the lobby, always feeling worried about everything that had happened recently. But I can't tell what's wrong, Concubine Xiao's change really surprised her, since she came back from Yong'an Palace, she has become a little strange to herself.

When she didn't get close to Guo Qiuyue, Concubine Xiao had always been simple-minded, and she wouldn't cheat at all, let alone try to please anyone, but now it's different, in order to get close to the Queen Mother, she will do whatever it takes to find Tianshan Snow Lotus and find the world's famous chefs.

Could it be that she just wanted to get the appreciation of the Queen Mother, she just wanted to find a backstage for herself, thinking about it, Concubine Hua was suddenly a little irritable, sitting in front of the hall and muttering to herself: "Damn it, Concubine Xiao is so sincere to me, I still doubt her, alas! It seems that I am indeed a little too sensitive." ”

Since Guo Qiuyue entered the palace, she has become so much that she no longer trusts anyone in anything. Because Guo Qiuyue is unguardable, if she is not careful, she may fall for her tricks, and she competed for favor last time.

It was because he was defenseless that he fell for her trick and made himself a sacrifice on the platform. And now in this palace, there is danger everywhere, like a slaughterhouse of death, where there is no place to die at any time.

Regarding the news that the maid Xiaoyu got from Yongle Palace, Guo Qiuyue has changed her past style in recent days, and she is not letting His Majesty drink, but going to Qingyan Mountain outside Chang'an City to hunt every day, which makes Concubine Hua puzzled.

After Concubine Hua sat down, she picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. His eyes were blank, and Chen Si muttered for a moment: "What does Guo Qiuyue's move mean?"

Now that the Queen Mother is happy in her belly, Guo Qiuyue should feel the threat in the future, and she should do everything possible to get rid of the dragon in the Queen Mother's belly, but she accompanies Her Majesty to hunt every day, and the last time she was imprisoned, she should also know why this matter started, and waiting for an opportunity to retaliate is Guo Qiuyue's style.

She didn't behave abnormally, although she sent Concubine Xiao to her side to monitor every move of Kangning Palace and Qingning Palace, but Concubine Xiao was already acting with herself, how could she betray herself and the Queen Mother.

Could it be that she trusts Concubine Xiao so much, the more she thinks about Concubine Hua, the more she feels chaotic in her heart, who is real and who is fake, the current Concubine Hua does feel a little unpredictable. So since Concubine Xiao left Kangning Palace, she was a little restless, and sat in front of the hall in a daze.

She seriously recalled the bits and pieces that had happened in these days, especially Concubine Xiao's hands, which were cool every day, maybe it seemed nothing to others, but Concubine Hua was different, she paid attention to details no matter what she did.

She thinks that details can determine success or failure, although her life has long been doomed, and she shouldn't care about the things in this deep palace, but the Queen Mother is kind to herself, Concubine Hua knows that the Queen Mother is not Guo Qiuyue's opponent, so she wants to repay the Queen Mother, and she can't let her fall into Guo Qiuyue's trap.

Especially the child in her womb, there must be no trouble, so Concubine Hua is restless every day, and she has to think about a little thing that happens in the palace for a long time, Guo Qiuyue's abnormality now is the thing that Concubine Hua is most worried about, she vaguely feels that this matter is not simple, and there may be a huge conspiracy hidden behind it.

Thinking about it, she just couldn't understand why Guo Qiuyue didn't let His Majesty drink, but went to Qingyan Mountain every day to hunt, and this incident happened after the Queen Mother was happy, could it be related to the Queen Mother.

Concubine Hua muttered in her mouth: "Could it be that Guo Qiuyue also wants to conceive a dragon?"

Thinking about it, Concubine Hua suddenly became panicked, if Guo Qiuyue is pregnant with a dragon son, won't it threaten the dragon son in the queen mother's womb in the future, if both of them give birth to a dragon son, the crown prince position of the dragon son in the queen mother's womb will be threatened.

Your Majesty is so fortunate that Guo Qiuyue will naturally be very fond of her children, maybe she will set up the prince as the crown prince, and the matter of the abolition of the prince by the kings of the past dynasties is not uncommon, and Your Majesty is not unable to do it. In this way, the Queen Mother has been planning to conceive a dragon son, but in the end, it may still be a failure.

Could it be that Guo Qiuyue wants to use this method to compete with the Queen Mother. In this case, she didn't take any action against the Queen Mother, and it makes sense. Whether Concubine Xiao's proximity to the Queen Mother is not good for the dragon in the Queen Mother's womb is not the point for Guo Qiuyue.

It seems that Concubine Xiao is deliberately approaching the Queen Mother, not to be unfavorable to the Dragon Child in the Queen Mother's belly, maybe she really just wants to find a backer in the harem, after analysis, Concubine Hua believes that Guo Qiuyue accompanies His Majesty Qingyan Mountain to hunt every day, and does not let His Majesty indulge in drinking.

This intention is to give birth to a dragon son, and use his position in His Majesty's heart to win the position of the crown prince for his children in the future, to compete with the dragon son in the womb of the Queen Mother, so that the Queen Mother's wishful thinking will not be broken.

Concubine Hua thought about it while muttering: "Okay, you Guo Qiuyue, you are not only insidious and vicious, but also so intrigued." How's that okay?"

In order to prevent Guo Qiuyue's conspiracy from succeeding, Concubine Hua thought that in this deep palace, although Guo Qiuyue was favored in front of His Majesty, she could do whatever she wanted. But she is not popular, and the ministers dare not speak out against her, if the queen mother wants to let the dragon in her belly successfully ascend to the crown prince's position at this time.

It is necessary to consolidate his power above the court, rely on his father's strength, and collude with the ministers of the court to deal with Guo Qiuyue, as long as no one supports her, even if His Majesty makes her child the prince in the future, and one day His Majesty dies, Guo Qiuyue's child can be overthrown.

Although this is a rebellion, everything is worth it for the dragon son in the queen mother's belly, so Concubine Hua hurriedly entered the palace to meet the queen mother, hoping that the queen mother can do what she wants, so that she can win over the minister and deal with Guo Qiuyue with the queen mother.

After Concubine Hua entered the palace, she came to Qingning Palace. At this time, the Queen Mother was accompanied by several slaves and maids, enjoying the flowers in the back garden. Although the sun is very scorching at noon, it is rare to have a trace of coolness at this moment, and the gentle breeze blows, and the Queen Mother is rarely in a good mood.

When the Queen Mother passed by the rockery in the back garden with a few maids and slaves, a maid suddenly stepped forward and said, "The Queen Mother, Concubine Hua asks to see you." ”

After hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "Please." ”

The maid agreed, "Yes." ”

After a while, Concubine Hua came to the back garden, and after seeing the Queen Mother, she looked panicked, and the Queen Mother was a little puzzled when she saw it: "Concubine Hua, this time I entered the palace in a hurry to see the palace, what is the so-called matter?"

Concubine Hua hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Concubine, I have seen the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother said with a smile while admiring the flowers: "Concubine Hua, don't be polite, you and I are like sisters, on informal occasions, Concubine Hua still calls me sister!"

A few people chatted while walking, and at this time several people had already spared the rockery and came to the cloister of the garden, and there was a pavilion not far in front. Concubine Hua smiled and said, "Empress Dowager Xie, sister, let's take a break in the pavilion in front of us, and my sister has something to say to my sister." ”

Accompanied by several people, the Queen Mother and Concubine Hua came to the pavilion, and after sitting down, the Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Hua who looked worried, and said: "Sister, when you enter the palace today, tell your sister what you have to do, and it's okay to say it directly." ”

Concubine Hua glanced at the maid and slave beside the Queen Mother, and stopped talking. The Queen Mother understood what she meant, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, these maids and servants of mine are the personal slaves of this palace, and it doesn't hurt if my sister has something to say." ”

Concubine Hua relieved her mind at this time, and after a pause, she said, "Sister, do you know that Your Majesty and Guo Qiuyue will go to Qingyan Mountain to hunt in the near future?"

The Queen Mother nodded and said: "This palace has heard about it, Guo Qiuyue also advised His Majesty to quit drinking, this matter is a good thing, this palace does not care about it, my sister mentioned this matter, if you are not worried about Guo Qiuyue's conspiracy?"

Concubine Hua said worriedly: "Don't hide it from my sister, my sister thinks that Guo Qiuyue's move is not as simple as we think, my sister has been uneasy recently, and my sister guesses that she must also want to give birth to a dragon son for His Majesty, so as to compete with the Queen Mother in this palace." ”

The Queen Mother thought for a while and said, "Sister, this is reasonable, if she gives birth to a dragon son for Your Majesty, she will definitely become a threat to my son in the future, but what should I do about this?

Concubine Hua had already planned to enter the palace at this time, she looked left and right and said after looking at no one else: "If my sister wants to fight Guo Qiuyue in this deep palace, my sister thinks that the best way is that my sister can use her identity in the palace to win over the power in the palace and pave the way for the future prince, so that even if Guo Qiuyue gives birth to a dragon son, it will be difficult to achieve great things because she has no henchmen." ”

After thinking about it for a long time, the queen mother felt that Concubine Hua's words were reasonable, Guo Qiuyue was insidious and vicious, offended the ministers in the palace all over again, and also used evil words to mutilate Zhongliang, causing Xiangguo to be gouged out and taken out of his eyes, Xiangguo was in the center of the palace There are many abdomen, and the protΓ©gΓ©s and officials are all over the government and the opposition.

If you use Xiangguo's prestige in the palace to win over your own power and pave the way for the future prince, as long as the prince gains power, he is afraid that Guo Qiuyue's mongrel will not succeed, so he nodded and said: "My sister is reasonable, for my son, this palace will also do whatever it takes." Who does my sister think is the most suitable person for this palace to woo first?"

Concubine Hua hurriedly said: "My sister thinks that Xiangguo is the most suitable, Xiangguo is an old minister of the Four Dynasties, and his prestige is extremely high. Guo Qiuyue troubled my Dongsheng Kingdom and confused Your Majesty. Xiangguo will definitely not ignore things, although he is no longer above the court, but his heart has always been loyal to Dongshengguo. ”

"As long as my sister gets the support of Xiangguo, she will rely on the prestige of the national teacher in the palace in the future to pave the way for the prince's future, and it will be overwhelming. ”

The Queen Mother nodded after hearing this, the two of them did want to go together in this matter, but Xiangguo is now gouging out his eyes and cutting his tongue. He can't see, hear, or speak, how to win him over. But it has become the thing that the Queen Mother is most worried about.

So he said with an embarrassed face: "My sister and Bengong have the same idea, but what Xiangguo is like now, my sister naturally knows better than Bengong, how can we win him over?"

Concubine Hua smiled and said: "Sister don't worry, although Xiangguo is disabled, his protΓ©gΓ© is not disabled, so my sister can use Xiangguo's name to win over his forces." ”

After hearing this, the Queen Mother suddenly realized, and said excitedly: "My sister's words are reasonable, and the palace will personally visit him in Xiangguo's Mansion for a while, and in the future, I will win over the minister in the name of Xiangguo for my own use." ”

Because of the dragon son in the womb of the queen mother, the queen mother no longer burns incense and worships the Buddha in the ancestral hall every day, but takes the initiative to attack, in order for the child in her womb to become the prince smoothly in the future, the queen mother also began to decide to win over the power in this deep palace, and the battle of deceit began in this harem.
