A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 330 Lobbying
Concubine Sheng Xian froze on the couch for a while before she came back to her senses.

To her, Qi Huan was definitely an unexpected guest.

She forced herself to remain calm, sat up slowly, and glanced at the confidant maid next to Qi Huan who helped to open the door, her face sullen.

The maid of honor paled slightly, and quickly knelt down.

His lips were pursed, hesitating to explain...

Qi Huan was the first to speak, but gave an order: "I will serve you here, my concubine Xian. For your masters, you go and stop that annoying side concubine of your lord, and put her away." Take Fengming Palace directly. If you ask her to come back and see me here, then even if the Heavenly King Laozi is here today, I won’t be able to keep her.”

The general environment in this palace is like this, the most capable nanny or grand maid next to each palace master can be half of the family.

Concubine Sheng Xian's great court lady is capable of handling affairs in this Yonghe Palace every day.

Obviously, if she wanted to force her way in just because of Qi Huan's rudeness, it was impossible for her to let the other party drive straight in, or even come in without waiting for the transmission.

Qi Huan should have said something to her.

But in the current situation, she obviously couldn't tell Concubine Sheng Xian in detail.

Concubine Sheng Xian's face was full of vigilance, and she was about to get angry when Qi Huan stepped across the threshold and closed the palace door with her backhand.

After that, I no longer cared whether the grand lady of the Yonghe Palace did what she ordered.

Concubine Sheng Xian was robbed of the limelight by a teenage girl in her own palace who was anti-client. She was furious and reprimanded in a deep voice: "Where did you learn the rules? Is this the kind of tutor in the Marquis of Changning? This is the palace's bedroom, how dare you barge in like this? You don't abide by the palace rules, you wantonly overstep..."

Qi Huan just closed the door.

Originally, I planned to give her a rest step by step...

Hearing this, she just stopped paying attention to these vain etiquettes, turned her head to meet Concubine Sheng Xian's eyes, and cut off her words: "I just came from Jinlan Garden, and your confidant, Madam, brought Mrs. Ye in disguise to bribe you To deceive the guards of Jinlan Garden and put her in to instigate trouble, is this an act of adhering to the palace rules? His Majesty the Emperor said that Yang Panyu was imprisoned, and no one, including His Highness the Sixth Highness, was allowed to visit her in private... Shouldn't you be doing this? It’s an arrogance, but a blatant disobedience.”

Concubine Sheng Xian has been in the palace for many years, and she still knows the rules and advances and retreats. Hearing what she said to this point, one knows that the whereabouts of her and Ye Xunyi in the palace are really known, and there is no way to deny it.

What Ye Xunyi did, she knew in her heart.

Now that Qi Huan was standing in front of her eyes, she instinctively felt weak for a moment, but she maintained her composure on the surface, and said forcefully: "If that's the case, then you should report to His Majesty and the Empress. Then Yang and Bengong have been in the harem together for many years, and Bengong sent someone to visit her because she was reluctant to let go of the sisterhood for so many years."

Qi Huan patiently listened to her sophistry, and then smiled slightly: "It's fine if you take these words to the front desk to fool others, since the ministers have already come to the door..."

She said, at that moment, the smile in her eyes suddenly disappeared, her eyes were cold and awe-inspiring, she looked straight at the woman in front of her who was pretending to be calm, and said word by word: "Actually, I don't need to come to your place now." Yes, you may not know all about what Ye Xunyi did, but I do. What if Yang Panyu was found to have died suddenly after she left Jinlan Garden?"

Concubine Sheng Xian's pupils shrank sharply.

Before Qi Huan came in, she had already dressed up and was ready to wait for Ye Xunyi to come back anytime, so she could go to Fengming Palace to watch the ceremony when she was settled.

At this time, her fingers covered in armor unexpectedly tightly clasped the sleeping couch under her body.

Qi Huan was quite satisfied with her reaction, so he simply opened up and explained everything clearly: "She was planning to lure me to the cold palace, and then blame me for Yang Panyu's death, isn't she? This is so despicable and clumsy. Ye Xunyi's trick is not something that only Ye Xunyi's brain can think of, but I just don't bother to use it. How did she tell you? Frame me as a crime, Gu Zhan will do anything to protect me? However, Yang Panyu was Guan, it's impossible for her to find me, it can only be because of my personal grievances, I chased her to the cold palace frantically, and put her to death. Faced with such a crime of murder that was announced to the world, according to the empress's usual As a person in Li, in order to stabilize the overall situation and stabilize the hearts of the people, she will definitely not be accommodating and favoritism. When the Gu family sisters and brothers are separated, you will be able to shake the foundation of His Highness the Crown Prince by adding fuel to the flames?"

Because Yun Zheng was spoiled by Qi Huan, Concubine Sheng Xian didn't like her either.

But she, a woman with seniority in the palace, would definitely not risk the world's disgrace just because she vented her personal anger, and openly planned to murder a woman in the palace who the emperor wanted to keep alive.

Those who can persuade her to take risks...

It must be driven by the temptation of greater interests.

Although in the Hibiscus Garden, Ye Xunyi's plan was interrupted by the suddenly mad Yang Panyu before he could finish his detailed explanation, but Qi Huan is self-aware, and he can guess that Ye Xunyi is using it to lobby Concubine Sheng Xian's excuse.

Although--

She felt in her heart that Ye Xunyi wanted to kill her, but in fact it was entirely out of personal grievances, saying that it was to disrupt the interest alliance of the prince's camp, that was incidental, something that could be done or not.

Concubine Sheng Xian was thrown out by her, no matter how calm and experienced her character was, she couldn't hold back a bit.

She began to forcefully deny it, and turned her eyes away: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

Qi Huan didn't even think about saying a few words to impress her, and stretched out his hand to drag a piece of brocade stick and sat down on his buttocks.

Concubine Sheng Xian frowned even more at her actions.

Can--

Ye Xunyi's whereabouts were exposed, and she even forgot that Qi Huan asked her grand maid to hold Ye Xunyi back because of her confusion before entering the door. Instead, she wondered if Ye Xunyi had already been missed by Qi Huan and Empress Gu. Got it.

As for why she brought Queen Gu...

As Qi Huan, if there was no Queen Gu to escort her, she would not be able to walk in the palace so casually.

Even, Empress Gu's person should have stepped outside just now, otherwise her grand maid wouldn't have let Qi Huan in easily.

Therefore, now that she is being cautious, she can only tolerate Qi Huan's "presumptuousness" and just show displeasure.

Qi Huan didn't care whether she was happy or not. After sitting down, he looked her in the eyes and asked back: "I can guess how Ye Xunyi won your trust, but my niece, forgive me for asking you abruptly... are you really so happy?" Do you really believe that woman, like you, is sparing no effort to plan for His Royal Highness King Ning?"

Concubine Sheng Xian has been able to live peacefully in the palace for these years, so she naturally understands the truth that misfortune comes from her mouth.

In this case, she should keep silent.

Can--

After all, Qi Huan messed up his mind.

One couldn't help it, she still sneered: "Why, I don't believe her, should I believe you?"

It was just an angry word.

Unexpectedly, Qi Huan actually accepted all the orders, and shamelessly asked again: "Why not?"

Concubine Sheng Xian choked hard on her.

If it weren't for the fact that the occasion in front of her was not suitable for laughing, she really felt as if she had heard a joke, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

Qi Huan didn't care at all, and continued to look into her eyes without avoiding it: "I don't like His Royal Highness Ning Wang, but I never thought of putting him to death, after all, it's not for that But how much do you know about Ye Xunyi? Or... how much do you know about the exact relationship between your son and Ye Xunyi?"

Concubine Sheng Xian had no patience for a long time, she angrily scolded with hostility: "What else do you want to say?"

The corners of Qi Huan's lips twitched, and he finally sighed helplessly: "His Royal Highness King Ning was burned by me during the conflict at the Qiyuan Restaurant, and the injured part was a bit private. I think he was ashamed to speak and did not tell you. ..."

Concubine Sheng Xian was startled, and then understood in seconds.

As a woman in the harem and a mother, she cared most about her son's safety, and then her heirs.

She stood up abruptly, looked down at Qi Huan as if she wanted to kill someone, and was afraid that her voice would be heard, so she asked hoarsely, "You...you...you..."

But facing Qi Huan's beautiful but frank face, thinking that she was talking about this kind of issue, it was hard for her to speak.

After holding back for a while, the hand pointing at Qi Huan kept shaking.

Qi Huan discussed the matter with her, and she didn't have any thoughts about Yun Zheng, so she was very calm and composed, and continued to meet Concubine Sheng Xian's gaze: "According to the information I got, he should recover now, but at least one or two days in between For months, he was recuperating in secret."

Concubine Sheng Xian was trembling with anger, her face was flushed with embarrassment, all she could think about was her son, don't let this outrageous vicious girl ruin her, she had no time to think about anything else.

Qi Huan told her carefully: "But at that time, he was grounded by His Majesty, he was in a hurry to get away, and he didn't want to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor, so he let others defile Ye Xunyi, until Ye Xunyi became pregnant and forcibly aborted the child You can ask the steward and medical officer of Prince Ning's Mansion to confirm this matter, even if I have the motive to sow discord, there is no need to tell such a lie that will be exposed immediately."

She didn't mention that Mrs. Wen. If Concubine Sheng Xian really wanted to confirm, she could just ask Housekeeper Liu of the palace, and she would be able to ask everything clearly, and no one would suspect that Mrs. Wen had leaked the secret.

Although Concubine Sheng Xian knew that Ye Xunyi had been forcibly aborted by her son, and because she never regarded Ye Xunyi as a human being, she didn't care much after the incident, even this time When Ye Xunyi approached her to show his affection, she subconsciously ignored the incident that happened in the middle, and never thought about whether Ye Xunyi would hold grudges against Yunzheng because he lost his child.

But now, Qi Huan not only revealed an astonishing inside story, but also reminded her of the fact that Ye Xunyi had a miscarriage...

She was terrified, and her legs gave way in fear, and she sat back on the couch with a panicked expression.

Qi Huan looked at her, and continued: "Concubine Xian, you and Ye Xunyi are both women, just imagine, if you have experienced such a thing before, you would be so innocent and even willing to continue working for such a man. Doing it like a horse, risking your life to provoke a powerful enemy?"

Innocence and children are a woman's life!

Just imagine if the emperor had treated her like this, even if he only took one of them...

She may be unable to resist revenge, but she will definitely hold a grudge in her heart, and she will remember it all her life, it is impossible to have the slightest hope and sincerity for this man in this life.

Even though due to his status, he didn't dare to take the whole family's wealth and life to fight against the other party, but he should hope from the bottom of his heart that this man would be punished by God and avenged for her!
If what Qi Huan said is true, then Ye Xunyi is now swearing that he will advance and retreat with her and seek a future for Yun Zheng.

Concubine Sheng Xian began to feel chills in her heart, and her fingers tightly grasped the cloth around her heart.

Qi Huan didn't give her a chance to be in a trance for too long, and said again: "What's more, Ye Xunyi is arrogant, narrow-minded and vicious, and is different from ordinary women. See what happened to Rui Wang Yunheng back then, it's not enough for you Do you want to warn King Ning? King Rui is indeed a wolf with ambition and bad conduct, but from the beginning to the end, he has never done anything to offend Ye Xunyi. Instead, he has accommodated everywhere, just wanting to marry her. Because she didn't want to marry, she pursued and beat her by all means until she was driven into a desperate situation, leaving only a dead end. Relatively speaking, how did His Royal Highness King Ning treat her? Entering the mansion as a concubine, humiliating, Trampling, torturing..."

"Enough!" Concubine Sheng Xian finally couldn't bear it anymore, she yelled, and said viciously: "No matter what she is, this is also our own housework, and it's not your turn to be an outsider here to point fingers and watch jokes. ..."

"Then have you followed?" Qi Huan interrupted her with a smile, raised her eyebrows at her again, and said playfully: "The crown prince is a prince with a righteous name, and this title was given by His Majesty. Don't tell me that you helped King Ning plan many ways to replace him because you didn't know that His Majesty wanted to pass the emperor to the crown prince!"

The other two sons of the emperor are also coveting the throne, and they have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time. This is known all over the world, and it is not a secret at all.

Can--

Except for hardcore supporters of their respective camps, they would never admit it to each other.

Now, Qi Huan said this to Concubine Sheng Xian face to face!

A trace of panic flashed across Concubine Sheng Xian's face, although she tried her best to suppress it, she couldn't completely suppress it in the end.

She gritted her teeth and stared at Qi Huan: "How dare you speak nonsense..."

"I'm just talking about the facts, and I'm telling you, don't think that Ye Xunyi has to endure nausea and help King Ning wholeheartedly because she has no way out, because she is not that kind of person at all." Qi Huan asserted, "When she went to Yuqian His Majesty made a detour by accusing King Rui of hiding the dark flames and wanted to put King Rui to death, but he said that he would give her a reward to keep her safe and stable for the rest of her life, but how did she do it? This is what all women in the world dream of However, she flatly refused in front of His Majesty. What did she say at that time? She said that she wanted to make up her own mind about the marriage...Take a promise of safety and wealth for the rest of her life for a marriage of her own? Isn't such a choice absurd? In the end, she was forcibly married by your son in the most despicable and humiliating way. What she wants is not a husband and a child at all, and a stable life for the rest of her life. Her ambition is obvious, and she has nowhere to rest. Yours But her son has already trampled her to the extreme. If it weren't for the fact that you still have the status of imperial concubine and prince, she would pay for her life by killing, and she thinks that you are not worthy to die with her... Do you think she would still lie low in front of you now? "

After Qi Huan talked so much in one breath, he finally felt a little tired.

She stood up and let out a long breath.

Concubine Sheng Xian's eyes were glued to her body like a demon, following her around.

Qi Huan looked back at her again, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "We used to be sisters in the palace together, doesn't the concubine Xian always think about Yang Panyu?"

Concubine Sheng Xian's mind was completely confused, she didn't understand her meaning for a moment, she just blurted out: "What?"

Qi Huan smiled, and took a deep look at her: "You were there when the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet happened. With the experience and wisdom of Concubine Xian who has lived in the palace for these years, she is stupid... don't you understand her?" How did you end up in this crushing defeat?"

Yang Panyu is an idiot, and the title of the most talented woman in the capital has been ruined by her into a complete joke.

Even at the time, Concubine Sheng Xian didn't think about why the emperor turned his face so ruthlessly and abolished Yang Panyu, but she thought about it carefully afterwards...

She can see clearly.

It's nothing more than because the woman doesn't know the importance, doesn't know how to praise, and doesn't know the difference between closeness and closeness.

A mocking smile just appeared on the corner of her mouth, but the next moment, Concubine Sheng Xian's entire expression froze on her face, and her eyes became bewildered again.

Therefore, Qi Huan laughed for her: "Your Majesty is benevolent, even on the day when the incident happened, he has repeatedly paved the steps for her, and wanted to pull her ashore for the sake of His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, but she insisted on going her own way. She was completely unwilling to understand His Majesty's good intentions, so in the end she was to blame and suffered a crushing defeat."

She looked at Concubine Sheng Xian, and her smile became more meaningful: "I know the private affairs of Ye Xunyi and His Highness King Ning, as well as the things they did together or separately, my lord, guess... Your Majesty the Emperor Are you completely in the dark?"

Concubine Sheng Xian's expression turned to horror, and she even held her breath hastily.

An unprecedented idea popped up in her mind, but she subconsciously felt it was absurd, and in the end she retorted stiffly: "Don't scare me here, do you really think that you are a strategist? If you are really like what you said With such ability to speak, there is no need to talk nonsense with Bengong here now."

"I said, if I want Ye Xunyi's life, I will fight back with a tooth for a tooth today." Qi Huan said, clarifying this fact again.

Concubine Sheng Xian resisted from the bottom of her heart and was led by the nose, she sneered again: "Then what do you want to do when you come to find Ben Gong? I just sent her to visit Mrs. Yang on behalf of Ben Gong. She pretended not to show off, but as for Mrs. Ye... if she made her own claims and did other things in the cold palace, then Ben Gong would not know."

"Then I hope this is the last time." Having said everything that needs to be said, and almost everything that needs to be persuaded, Qi Huan took out a large paper bag from his sleeve and threw it on her bed.

Concubine Sheng Xian only glanced at it, on guard, and did not touch it without asking.

Qi Huan said: "Enough is enough. If you and your son don't want to follow in the footsteps of Yang Panyu's mother and son, then don't follow Ye Xunyi's tricks of pretending to be clever. If you make a scene, it will only make you laugh. No matter how lenient your majesty is, he also has a final bottom line." , and I guess this time in the court, it was only after punishing King Ning to go to the imperial mausoleum to think about his mistakes... His old man's patience should not be much left. Is the unreachable throne important, or is there only one? Your life is important, you might as well take some more time to weigh it carefully."

As she said that, she looked at the bag with meaning: "This is a good bag, I think it will be very helpful to you."

She didn't explain what was in there, or what it did.

At this point, he finally bent over and straightened his skirt, then solemnly bowed his knees and gave a blessing: "I can do it for myself, and my servant will leave."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door.

Concubine Sheng Xian stared at her back with dark eyes, and the moment her finger touched the door frame and was about to push the door, she suddenly asked: "The queen arranged for you to be a lobbyist?"

Qi Huan stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and looked at her, but did not answer.

Concubine Sheng Xian assumed that she was the acquiescing, followed by another sneer: "She would be so kind? I'm afraid she would like us all to fall into the pit, so as to save her son from worrying about the future."

The smile in Qi Huan's eyes disappeared silently, her calm appearance was actually quite capable of bluffing, and seeing Concubine Sheng Xian's heart shuddered.

Just as he was about to say something to boost his aura, Qi Huan didn't answer and asked instead: "If His Highness the Crown Prince has made a mistake, the Concubine Xian should be very happy. I wish I could set off fireworks all night to add to the fun, right?"

In this case, is it possible to say it?

Concubine Sheng Xian was terrified, and nervously stood up again, as if she wanted to rush over and cover her mouth, or give her a slap.

Qi Huan did not give her a chance to approach and sighed slightly again, suddenly feeling very boring.

She twitched the corners of her lips mockingly, and said firmly: "You will. Even if His Majesty the Emperor will be heartbroken because of this, because it is beneficial to you, because it is beneficial to your son, you will still only feel rejoicing."

Concubine Sheng Xian's eyes flickered, but she didn't feel ashamed, only the anger of being exposed to her face.

"That's why some people can be the mother of a country, while others can only be insignificant concubines." Qi Huan glanced at her one last time, and said coldly: "Why does your majesty love the queen empress so much? In the harem, the rights and status of profanity are not allowed to be overstepped? The human heart is the softest and the most cold and cold. If you want others to treat each other sincerely, you must always be considerate and protect others. There is nothing in this world that you can get something for nothing. Good thing."

After finishing speaking, she still didn't give Concubine Sheng Xian a chance to react, and directly pushed open the palace door.

The sun poured in from the sky outside and sprinkled the whole body.

Qi Huan was a little uncomfortable in front of him for a while, squinted his eyes, and saw Gu Zhan who appeared outside the palace gate waiting for her at some point.

　His Majesty the Emperor is a good father, and the empress is also a qualified good queen...
