What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 20 You Can Accumulate Some Virtue

"Sister Jieyu, what do you mean?"

The voice was too loud, and everyone present looked at the queen in unison, even the old emperor looked over suspiciously.

The Queen's heart skipped a beat, and she hurried on.

"Don't say it's you, I will thoroughly investigate anyone who has a problem, sister, please get up quickly."

The queen cast a look.

Fang Rui hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Jieyu up.

The old emperor glanced over the empress, and his eyes fell on Li Jieyu's bloody forehead, hesitating for a while.

"I will let... Liufu investigate this matter, and I will definitely give Zhao'er justice."

Li Jieyu burst into tears and threw herself into the emperor's arms.

"The concubine knows that the emperor loves Zhao'er the most, so she won't ignore it"

She looked at the queen pitifully again, blinking her big wet eyes: "Empress, it's not that the concubine doesn't trust you, but this is a banquet organized by you after all, and the concubine is also thinking of you, isn't it?"

The queen was so angry that a mouthful of old blood welled up in her throat, unable to speak.

-

The party broke up.

The emperor left with Li Jieyu in his arms, Concubine Meng led all the concubines to leave, and the princes and princesses also left.

The queen returned to the inner hall alone, and dropped a jade ornament with a 'snap'.

"What do you mean?"

"What does Li Jieyu mean, that bitch? I don't care about her eighth son? Day after day, relying on her son and favor, she makes trouble in the palace, and there is no end to it!"

Fang Rui knelt on the broken porcelain.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the banquet should be due to a flaw in the Shang Palace Bureau, and a conspiracy was played on our heads. If the slave finds out, she will be torn to pieces."

The queen patted her chest and swallowed a mouthful of herbal tea, smiling coldly.

"There is no reason to be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days. The devils in this deep palace are one foot tall and one foot high. No one knows better than me."

She was panting slightly, clenched her fat hands tightly, and the backs of her hands were pale.

Fang Rui lowered his head, feeling annoyed.

"Your Majesty has had a hard time these years. Forgive me for saying something disrespectful, but the Emperor..."

"Stop it," the queen interrupted.

"I have no hope for a long time. After all, I still have to rely on power. Of my two sons and one daughter, only Zhi'er survived. What else does I not understand?"

"In the future, this world will eventually be mine. When the time comes, there will be grievances and debtors. I will let them pay their lives one by one and bury my children with them."

Before the words fell, the queen had already burst into tears.

Fang Rui lowered his head and said nothing, the room was silent.

Sixth Prince's Mansion
Lin Ximeng got out of the carriage after Xie Chenyu, and the two walked one after the other.

Xie Chenyu didn't say a word, and Lin Ximeng also didn't dare to breathe.

Finally reached the boundary between the front yard and the back yard.

Lin Xi dreamed of slipping away, but was caught by Xie Chenyu.

He closed his eyes and kissed the fat-skinned face, and the stubble rested on Lin Ximeng's side face.

"Do you want to be Liangdi?"

"Think", Lin Ximeng did not hesitate.

Xie Chenyu slightly hooked his lips: "Is Liang Di so good?"

"Of course, if I become Liang Di, I don't have to be afraid of Zhao Liang Di anymore."

Xie Chenyu rubbed her back, slowly shook his head: "Farewell, I'm afraid a beauty like you won't live for half a month to become Liang Di, so this hall is reluctant."

Lin Ximeng hung her head without saying a word, protesting loudly in her heart.

'Do not!I want to be a concubine, I won't live long'

"Go back, sir, I have other things"

Lin Ximeng left as if she had been pardoned and thanked En.

Xie Chenyu stood on the spot, his eyes fell on the little figure who couldn't wait, and he left slowly until he couldn't see it.

The Second Prince's Mansion at this time.

Li Liangdi caressed her belly and leaned softly in Xie Chenke's arms.

"Today, the master is going all out for being a concubine, and I will be grateful for the rest of my life"

Xie Chenke stroked her stomach, hiding the calculation in his eyes.

"This is the first child of this hall. Whether it is a boy or a girl, his mother must not be too humble. This is the only thing this hall can do for Li'er."

"Thank you, Master." Li Liangdi blushed, her eyes were watery and blissful.

"Go back, let the servants take good care of you, and tell the dining room what you want to eat."

Li Liangdi leaves.

Xie Chenke went to the study alone.

Several staff members were already waiting there, and when they saw the master coming, they hurriedly greeted him.

"Get up, gentlemen, sit down"

"Thank you, master"

The staff sat down one by one, eager to discuss today's Qianqiu Banquet.

"The prince's move is still too risky, and may not win the support of the empress."

"Perhaps, the efforts that the prince has spent on the empress all these years are obvious to all. Even a wall should be moved."

"The empress is from the Wang family, and the Wang family is very powerful in the court. If she can get the support of the empress, the crown prince can be easily captured."

"But these adult princes are all staring at the power in the hands of the empress, and they are obsessed with filial piety, our master may not be able to compete."

"If you can't fight, you have to fight, the empress is too important."

The staff discussed enthusiastically, and Xie Chenke listened unhurriedly.

After everyone finished speaking, he spoke slowly.

"It's easy to talk about other things. Who can win the palace if a court lady is appointed as Liangdi? No matter how much the sixth son wants to please the queen, he will never appoint Lin as Liangdi."

That criminal minister's daughter cannot be supported by mud.

"That's right, our Highness has nothing to contend with on this point."

The staff clasped their fists together, but he turned his head and asked again:
"But don't forget, Your Highness, the Wang family still has an eldest daughter who is not out of the court, and she is of marriageable age. If you can win the heart of that girl, then you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort."

The implication is that His Highness wants to marry a noble daughter, so don't put too much effort on the eyeliner sent by the empress.

Xie Chenke clenched his fist violently, turning his head away in annoyance.

"This hall has thought about this for a long time, but the daughters of aristocratic families are all raised in boudoirs, so this hall can't easily see it, this road is not easy to walk"

Another staff member got up.

"Even if it doesn't work out, His Highness naturally has other foreign races to choose from. If you have a beloved concubine Liang and a concubine before you get married, I'm afraid..."

Xie Chenke played with the teacup, narrowed his eyes for a while before speaking.

"It doesn't matter, the hall has already thought of countermeasures."

"The biggest problem now is how to remove other obstacles one by one"

As long as those brothers who got in the way are gone, Jiangshan will naturally fall into his hands.

"Your Highness is wise", the staff members were enlightened.

The Qianqiu Banquet poisoning case fell into the hands of Liu Fu, the chief executive next to the emperor.

At this moment, he was in a state of desperation to arrest all the court ladies and eunuchs who had touched the bowl of soup and torture them one by one.

Gong Zhengsi screamed again and again.

Tried for three full days, still nothing.

However, Li Jieyu ran to the front of the imperial study room and knelt down at every turn, as if the matter would never end unless she checked it out.

While cursing secretly, Liu Fu did not dare to slack off, fearing that he would not be able to answer the emperor's questions.

On the fourth day, Liufu was on duty as usual to go to Gong Zhengsi to keep an eye on him. As he walked, he spat in the direction of Li Jieyu's residence.

"Hey, what a good or bad thing"

"The concubine who can't be beaten is more honorable than the prince who was born in the first place"

"Back then, the empress's first prince fell ill and passed away, and the empress did not anger a single imperial doctor or a palace servant. Instead, she endured her grief and handed out money to the two princes to accumulate virtue."

"Grandma has a leg, you can accumulate some virtue."
