Chunman Palace

Chapter 54 Breakdown
Chang Xiuru didn't have the slightest impression of "Sister Shen" in Mu Pingting's mouth. Seeing that the two seemed to be very familiar with each other, she couldn't help asking, "Sister Mu, do you know Concubine Lan?"

"It's just an old friend." Mu Pingting replied very softly.

In the year of her golden hairpin, she lived in Anyang Marquis Mansion for a period of time.

When she was young, she loved peonies the most, and her family took her to Luoyang to play. There was a heavy rain on the way, and she contracted a cold and a high fever. The Marquis of Anyang received their family, and soon she recovered. The second lady, Shen Yuyan, became friends.

Also from the Anyang Marquis Mansion, she likes to wear sachets made of Angelica dahurica and various kinds of fragrant flowers, and also develops the habit of using Angelica dahurica water in autumn.

There has been no news for many years, and when we meet again, we don't know that the other party has suffered a catastrophe.

"Ru'er, come here, I have something to tell you." Mu Pingting changed the route and led her to a remote rockery in the Imperial Garden.

Chang Xiuru followed the preoccupied Mu Pingting and said, "Sister Mu, you don't really believe what Concubine Lan said, do you? If someone added inula inula to the wine, who would be more suspicious? Knowing that my sister used Bai Zhi's family are all people who are close to my sister."

Mu Pingting paced slowly, and thoughtfully said: "If you are a caring person, you can send an eyeliner to find out what I usually like. It is because of my closeness that I can't doubt it and hurt our relationship."

Chang Xiuru said: "Sister Mu suspects Concubine Min? She has always targeted us everywhere, so it's not surprising that she did such a thing, but the meaning of Concubine Min's actions is unclear, no matter how stupid she is, she shouldn't use this method to deal with her sister."

"Yeah, knowing that I'm pregnant and can't drink, she tried her best to persuade me to drink. Concubine Min's purpose in doing this is too obvious. She lost a chance in vain. From now on, we will be more careful about her. It will be harmful to her." What's the benefit?" Mu Pingting fell into deep thought again, frowning.

Chang Xiuru thought of something, and suddenly said: "Sister, do you remember what the eldest princess said last night? If we decide to deal with Concubine Min, then we have to pay some price ourselves to pull her down from her position. If you go out, it will only be a dead end."

"I heard that the eldest princess returned to the palace from the barbarian land and brought back a foreign woman who was good at making incense medicine to serve her. The woman used incense to cure diseases and medicine to make incense. Proficient in medicine, she is really a rare and wonderful person." She stopped, turned around and looked at Chang Xiuru with serious eyes: "Ru'er, we are probably being used as pawns by the eldest princess! We are now You have to find a way to get out of it!"

Chang Xiuru pretended to be stupid and said: "Sister, what are you talking about? The eldest princess wants to help us get rid of Concubine Min... What kind of foreign woman who is good at making fragrant medicine, sister, you are confused!"

Mu Pingting persuaded her painstakingly: "Ru'er, we really fell for the trick. Now the eldest princess just doesn't care about our life or death just to deal with Concubine Min. Cooperating with her is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger...! I'm also to blame, I didn't arrive in time last night. To persuade you, I originally wanted to pretend to agree to protect you from danger before talking about other things, but I was wrong, from the moment I agreed to the eldest princess, we can only help ourselves."

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she smiled as if she was relieved: "By the way, fortunately, Qingyu was not grounded. The three of us will discuss how to deal with this difficulty first."

She took Chang Xiuru's arm and was about to go to Yaohua Pavilion, but Chang Xiuru withdrew her hand forcefully.

Chang Xiuru took a few steps back and distanced herself from her.

Mu Pingting thought that Chang Xiuru was still acting emotionally, and didn't understand the reason, so she persuaded: "Ru'er, don't be awkward anymore, okay? The dizziness I experienced today really has nothing to do with Qingyu. Didn't the imperial doctor say it was because of the wrong medicine?" Cautiousness leads to the mutual restraint of medicines? Maybe it’s a dose of medicine I took for the wind and cold..."

Having said that, she suddenly froze.

A few days ago, she didn't dare to take medicine casually due to the wind and cold. Fortunately, the symptoms were mild, just a cough, so she asked the imperial doctor to prescribe a medicine for herself. After taking it this morning, she went to enjoy the flowers with Lin Qingyu.

Mu Pingting's eyes widened in disbelief, and she looked at Chang Xiuru, "That package of medicine was brought back from the Imperial Hospital for me, Ru'er..."

"Is my sister suspecting that I added inula flowers to the medicine?"

"I didn't say that inula was added to the medicine."

Chang Xiuru curled her lips with some difficulty, snorted softly, and said indifferently: "Oh, then you still doubt me."

"Ru'er, I didn't say I doubted you, I just don't understand..." Mu Pingting's words were pale, she didn't know how to convince herself of this familiar yet unfamiliar person in front of her.

Chang Xiuru's eyes suddenly became very cold, and her dark face under the night sky turned livid. She slightly hooked the corners of her lips, and her red lips seemed to be dripping blood. Under the moonlight, there was a coquettish light, and she said slowly: "Lin Qingyu has What is worthy of your trust, Sister Mu? She is an ominous person and a lowly child. What is the use of looking for her? She violated her sister's fortune and was punished by the emperor not to participate in the Double Ninth Banquet. Why would my sister rather doubt me than her?"

Seeing this, Huayue hurriedly stood up to protect Mu Pingting, holding her arms in fear that someone would do something out of the ordinary.

Mu Pingting still persuaded her patiently: "Ru'er, calm down first, I'm just reasoning, and Qingyu has no reason to do such a thing."

Chang Xiuru originally thought that Mu Pingting would say that she trusted her and comforted her, but now she is talking about reasoning and deduction, helping her husband or not, and screaming loudly, which has made her intolerable.

She simply broke her face, stopped pretending, and said in a low voice: "Yes! That's why I did it. I added inula inula to the medicine and wine to blame Lin Qingyu and Concubine Min! There is no such thing as Lin Qingyu who is in the way , I feel much better!"

Mu Pingting looked at the person with a frown and said disappointedly: "I didn't expect you to still have such an attitude towards Qingyu. Is the gap between the two of you irreversible?"

Chang Xiuru's eyes were a little crazy, and she asked hoarsely: "Eliminate? How to eliminate? It's easy to say. How can noble people empathize with lowly people? Are we born as people in the same world, insisting on getting along with each other as equals?" , calling each other sisters, does she deserve it too! Sister Mu, you think she doesn't mind me at all, you're wrong! She's just better at disguising and hypocrisy!"

Afraid of irritating people again, Mu Pingting had to change the subject and said, "Ru'er, you still have time to turn around now, don't cooperate with the eldest princess anymore."

Hearing this, Chang Xiuru laughed a series of times, and said like crazy: "What...! I am living very well now, and we are very happy to cooperate! Sister Mu, you are in a trance, you have a chance to get rid of Concubine Min Appeared, you don’t want it? You must know that Concubine Min is the biggest obstacle to our promotion, get rid of her, and we will be able to go straight up!”

Mu Pingting persuaded her a little helplessly: "Ru'er, the eldest princess wants to use the dragon fetus in my belly as a pawn. She is obviously going to use everything to the extreme. Those who cooperate with her may not have any bones left. You are sober." wide awake."

Chang Xiu suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Mu Pingting's shoulders. With cloudy eyes, she grinned and said, "I'm very sober, more sober than ever before. As long as I can bring down Concubine Min, sister Mu is afraid that we won't be able to get another prince in the future?" ? If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you get a tiger’s cub..."

"Ru'er? You..." Mu Pingting was taken aback for a moment, then pushed her away.

Chang Xiuru must be crazy.

Mu Pingting took a few steps back in fright, hugged Huayue tightly with her hands, turned and left very quickly.

Shuang'er reminded from the side: "Madam, aren't you afraid that Mrs. Jin will go to the imperial court to complain? The emperor will definitely think you are crazy and send you to Qihan Palace. Go and explain."

Chang Xiuru took a few breaths of air-conditioning in a daze, and said with a snort: "That's good, I'm crazy, crazy, all crazy! Everyone has been crazy since the day they entered the palace! This harem It's a place where people keep going crazy, it's good to be crazy! Hahahahahahahahaha!"

The laughter is cold and terrifying, making people shudder.

Shuang'er was afraid of offending others, so she knelt down and persuaded: "Your Majesty, you can't give up on yourself! Think about your family, Mr. Chang is still waiting for you to rescue him. If you fall down here, Mr. Chang really can't save you. Already!"

When Chang Xiuru heard the words, her body tensed up instantly, she immediately put away her smile and her face turned pale, she suddenly fell to the ground, the icy cold feeling shook her soul.

She lamented dejectedly: "It's useless, it's useless! Now, I can only see if Sister Mu still misses the sisterhood..."

Slowly closing her eyes, as if she was in the endless blackness, she seemed to be integrated with the night, she felt her body became light, and she swam proudly among the stars like a bird, sitting among the clouds and having fun.

Suddenly, the icy chains grabbed her feet, and countless wailing sounds filled her eardrums, and the dark and cold chains hit her overwhelmingly.

"what---!"

Chang Xiuru sat up in shock, cold sweat permeated her clothes, tightly wrapped her body in mud, the chill took the opportunity to penetrate into her body, causing her to shiver a few times.

Shuang'er ran in hastily, looked at Humanity with concern, and said, "What's wrong with you, Ma'am?! It's only three o'clock, are you having a nightmare?" She ran to light the lamp, poured a cup of tea for someone, "Drink some Shui Shun Shun Xin, it's all right, Jingui didn't report on you."

Chang Xiuru was still in shock, took a few deep breaths before recovering, looked at Shuang'er and asked, "Are you okay?"

Shuang'er reassured: "It's okay, it's really okay, Mrs. Jingui and your empress still have sisterhood, in fact, you can tell her about Mrs. Chang, except for the eldest princess, maybe Mrs. Mu will have a solution?"

Chang Xiuru drank a cup of tea, gradually came to her senses, and analyzed: "What's the use of civil servants? My father was tricked into going to the wilderness by officials who colluded with the Liguo people. He lost to the enemy and was captured. Now he has been taken to Liguo Now, if there is no help from the eldest princess and relatives, who can leave the country?"

Shuang'er took the teacup away, added another cup of tea, and said, "Master Tai Tuo is still very important to the emperor. If he speaks, the emperor will definitely send troops. We really can't afford to beg the eldest princess with our bodies!"

Chang Xiuru said in annoyance: "I know that the emperor will give Uncle Mu a face, but even if the emperor sends troops, the mountains and roads are far away, and if he is directly away from the people of the country...! I dare not even think about it. Within the scope of Liguo, there is still a chance to break into the interior to rescue father, the most urgent thing now is to get rid of Concubine Min, so that Liguo cannot receive any more news!"

"Concubine Min did this just to restrain the concubine, she kept saying that she had cut off contact with Li Guo, but she did such insidious things in private, this servant wondered if the concubine went to Guanju Palace to question Concubine Min, would she remain calm and composed. "Shuang'er fanned the flames and said.

Chang Xiuru smiled weakly, and said: "A person who steals will never admit what he has done, even more so when he kills others. I wanted Sister Mu to stay away from Lin Qingyu temporarily, and deal with Concubine Min together with me. , but Bengong really couldn't bear to envy her sister to drink the glass of inula inula wine, so she tried her best to dissuade her, who would have thought that she would actually suspect Bengong! How can I not be angry! How can I not be annoyed!"

"Your Majesty calm down, the most urgent thing is to rescue Mr. Chang first, and we have to talk to the eldest princess."

Chang Xiuru's eyes were quickly clouded, and her voice was full of hatred, "Father wants to be saved, but Concubine Min must be exterminated! Only by cutting Concubine Min's body into tens of thousands of pieces can I solve the hatred in my heart!"

Hatred quietly bloomed in the heart, coiled and intertwined in the atrium.

From the day Chang Xiuru heard the news, she was on the verge of collapse all the time, and every day after she opened her eyes, she would feel that it was a kind of torture. Under the torment of this whipping mind, she gradually figured it out A thing, a thing only malicious enough to think about.

She suddenly raised her lips and smiled, evoking a cold and beautiful arc, looked at Shuang'er with bright eyes and said: "Tell me, why did the eldest princess get rid of Concubine Min? Do you think it's really just to help me?"

Shuang'er thought hard for a moment, and came up with a barely relevant reason: "The eldest princess is for you to conceive an imperial heir in the future and become a favorite concubine...The eldest princess is betting on you!"

No, as the eldest princess, such a status is already very respected, and there is no shortage of gold, silver, jewelry, power and status.

"Shuang'er, have you ever heard of a saying called fullness and warmth. People's desires always expand after food and clothing are satisfied, and they will expand to an incalculable extent. The eldest princess is pursuing Mental balance."

Shuang'er shook her head and smiled foolishly: "Your Majesty, you have more insights today than before. I haven't read any books, so I don't understand very well..."

"The eldest princess married far away in the Western Regions and had nothing to do for four years. What is the truth? Today's Concubine Min enjoys all the glory and wealth, and is loved and loved by thousands of people. Although she has not given birth to a child in the past three years, she has always been loved by the emperor. Pampered like pearls and treasures, they lived a life without worrying about food and clothing. One went to the barren and bitter cold of the Western Regions, and the other went to the harem with jade pillows and golden quilts, all for marriage, but the difference in treatment is so huge." Chang Xiuru looked at her hair. , sneered with deep eyes: "How can you not be jealous?"

Shuang'er shuddered, and nodded stiffly: "What the empress said is true."

Chang Xiuru waved lazily at people, "Back off."

"Isn't your empress going to get up and wash up? Today the eldest princess still has an appointment with you..."

Chang Xiuru turned around, and said sullenly: "I don't want to see the scheming and evil in the harem too soon, so let me enjoy the floating life for a while."
