Chapter 474 What is Concubine He afraid of?

Concubine He was amused by Hong Xianglin's bold words. A moment ago, she seemed to be so concerned about her brother's safety. However, after she took out the banknote, she thought that Hong Xianglin would ask to see Hong Qibin's physical condition with his own eyes to ensure Hong Qibin's safety. .

Unexpectedly, the next step was to meet the head of Jili County.

Concubine He even guessed that Hong Xianglin and Hong Qibin in front of her might also be holding each other's hands, right?

Hong Qibin left a guarantee for himself, and Hong Xianglin relied on Hong Qibin to seek wealth and glory!

Concubine He smiled slightly, not hiding the sarcasm in her eyes.
"Master Hong, please don't push too far, lest you end up losing more than you gain! How can I know where the Prince of Guangning County has sent the County Master? Even if I go through a lot of hard work and find the whereabouts of the County Master, how can I find the whereabouts of the County Master?" You send her in? Do you think the protection of Prince Guangning is just paper? Mr. Hong, it’s good to have high aspirations, but it’s not good to be unrealistic.”

Concubine He gently blew the tea in her hand, her tone was gentle and soft, but she just barely said to Hong Xianglin that "the toad wants to eat swan meat".

Before becoming Hong Xianglin, he might have hesitated a long time ago. Even if he didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction with the status of Concubine He, he would most likely walk away in anger.

However, today's Hong Xianglin, apart from being cautious in the face of life and death, as for reputation and face, he no longer cares about it.

Hong Xianglin was smiling happily at this moment.

"Your Majesty, you better think about it carefully. I know that your Majesty must have a way. Moreover, by doing this, I am actually helping His Highness and you. If I fall into the eyes of the County Lord and give birth to an heir with the County Lord, the blood of this child will not be the same." Your Majesty's great cause will be beneficial. Otherwise, even if His Majesty succeeds, he will not be able to sustain it for long, and in the end, everything will be in vain. My Majesty, please think carefully, is it worth it to help me?"

When Concubine He heard this, her face turned dark and she said angrily,

"Don't worry about whether you are talking nonsense. Even if it is true, you should also consider whether you have found the wrong person. Do you think I can do anything? Aren't you afraid that if you push me too far, you will not be able to leave this teahouse?"

Hong Xianglin didn't care, stood up, pretended to dust off the non-existent dust on his body, and said seriously,
"My brother has already made arrangements. If the queen is cruel and murders me and my brother, within three days, some shameful things about my family will be made public! By then, the good things waiting for the queen are: It means being demoted to a concubine by His Highness. If His Highness is angry, it will either be a piece of paper or a piece of white silk."

"Snapped!"

The tea cup in Concubine He's hand fell heavily to the ground, and the fragments and tea leaves were scattered all over the floor. Concubine He said bitterly,
"Hong Xianglin, although I, the He family, are merchants, I am now a relative of the emperor. I cannot be slandered by a young person like you with just a few words! Do you think I, the prince's concubine, are intimidated?"

Hong Xianglin looked at Concubine He, then at the debris on the ground, and sneered,
"Your Majesty, think about it carefully! Come find me when you have figured it out."

After saying this, Shi Shiran walked out of the private room.

Concubine He's maid stepped forward angrily.
"Mother, do you want me to go and find this person..."

The maid made a "kill" gesture.

Concubine He's face could almost drip with ink, she raised her hand to stop it.

"No! Hong Xianglin is nothing to be afraid of. However, His Highness has said that Hong Qibin is full of tricks. Hong Qibin has been lurking in Chen Guogong's mansion for many years and has mastered many secrets of Chen Guogong Chen Zhuoxin. This person is useful to Your Highness. Moreover, Hong Xianglin dares to follow me like this. Call me, I can’t risk my life! The deal between the He family and Bei Liao cannot be exposed!”

The maid said unwillingly,
"But, in the final analysis, that is His Highness's cover-up. No matter how capable he is, Hong Qibin, how can he still know about His Highness and Bei Liao? At most, our He family is just doing some business with Bei Liao privately. Many merchants in Dazhou secretly As long as it's not weapons or military secrets, the imperial court will only accuse us of doing business with Bei Liao and Liao Rong."

Concubine He looked solemnly and shook her head gently.
"You don't understand! It may be okay for others to do business with Bei Liao, but the He family cannot. Once he becomes a target for others to attack His Highness, I am afraid that some of His Highness's affairs will be revealed. At that time, the He family and I will Will be abandoned by His Highness!"

In particular, the transaction between the second prince and Bei Liao was shady.

At that time, the He family will become a "shield"!
She couldn't put herself at risk.

Concubine He secretly sweated, feeling as if she had gradually stepped onto a rugged path from a bright road.

Now, I am literally walking on the tip of a knife, and underneath, there is an abyss!
Hong Xianglin walked out of the teahouse, pretended to be nonchalant, walked around the market, and then returned to the Huai'an Marquis Mansion in a roundabout way. As soon as he entered the door, Hong Xianglin closed the door tightly, leaned his back against the door, and collapsed to the ground!
Hong Qibin told him how to "talk" with Concubine He, but he never told him what the shortcomings of Concubine He's family were!
Hong Qibin said that as long as he mentioned "his dealings with Bei Liao" to Concubine He, Concubine He would bow her head!

However, Hong Xianglin's legs were trembling at this moment and he couldn't straighten up at all! My whole body was already dripping with sweat, and my clothes inside and outside were almost soaked!
If Concubine He pressed one more question, the secret would be revealed!
It’s not easy to earn these two thousand taels of silver!
In the back hall of "Good Neighbors", Ji Jun and Ji Nian heard that Hong Xianglin had met with Concubine He, and that Hong Xianglin walked out of the teahouse relaxed and happy.

Concubine He, on the other hand, looked ugly.

"Concubine He has something to do and was caught by Hong Xianglin?"

This is the same idea between Ji Jun and Ji Min.

Although Concubine He is the prince's concubine, she can also be regarded as a concubine. Moreover, I haven't heard of anything about Concubine He and the He family "selling their official positions" or "taking human lives for granted". What can Hong Xianglin or Hong Qibin do to Concubine He?
Zhou Huan thought for a moment and said,

"I handled a case a while ago. It was about the matron of a wealthy family in another province. She had a sweetheart when she was young. Later, the two failed to become partners and got married separately. However, many years later, a fellow villager owed a lot of money due to gambling. Money, so he threatened the mistress with this matter, slandering the mistress for not observing women's ethics before getting married, etc. At this time, the mistress's parents-in-law criticized her because she had been childless for many years, and encouraged her son to divorce her. The mistress was so angry that she hired a murderer to kill her. Is this the case for Concubine He? "

Zhou Huan felt that the only thing that could make Concubine He swallow her anger was to threaten her status and daughter.

Neither Hong Xianglin nor Hong Qibin, not even Hong Peiju or even Chen Zhuoxin, were capable enough to threaten the He family's property.

And only this kind of groundless, specious rumors, or some "evidence" of watching the wind and catching shadows, can be lethal to a noble princess like Concubine He.

After all, she is the daughter-in-law of the royal family, and her family does not have strong power, so she has to be careful not to make any mistakes.

If Concubine He were like the head of Qili County, not to mention her reputation being damaged, she might have had a brazen affair with someone, and the Prince of Guangning County would be able to deal with the consequences.

Ji Min remembered that in his previous life, he heard that Concubine He and Concubine Zou were fighting overtly and jealously before Meilin entered the house.

If Concubine He really had such a clue and Hong Xianglin could get it, Concubine Zou was rich and had many eyes and ears. How could she still get the news?

If Hong Xianglin had a weakness that could scare Concubine He, it would be easy to sell it directly to Concubine Zou or use it to blackmail Concubine He for a sum of money.

But it is obvious that the two have not reached an agreement, which shows that Hong Xianglin has a big plan!
Moreover, Concubine He's matter may be more complicated than imagined.

Ji Jun didn't have a deep impression of Concubine He, and he didn't have a good impression of Concubine He after the time when Mei Lin and Su Jin sought death.

She didn't want to waste her time on this kind of person.
"Don't think so much. If you are worried, we will pay more attention to Concubine He in the future. Maybe there will be unexpected gains!"

Li Mi smiled and said,

"I think so too. In the past, we only stared at the Second Prince, but we forgot that the women around the Second Prince are also not simple!"

An unexpected gain? not simple?
Ji Min's heart moved. In the previous life, Mei Lin suddenly emerged as a new force in the second prince's harem, gaining momentum and suddenly pushed Concubine Zou to the back.

Meilin was named a noble concubine by the second prince at that time, while Zou's side concubine seemed to be just a Zhaorong. At least she didn't enter the "Four Concubines".

According to Mei Lin's ambition, she must have been thinking about the throne of the queen, but obviously, Mei Lin was not able to squeeze out Concubine He!

Mei Lin, including the Hong family and his son, were in power at that time, and the second prince relied heavily on the Hong family, but he did not touch Concubine He. illustrate--

Ji Min thought about this and said,
"I guess Concubine He may really have an ulterior secret!"
