Concubine, she rises step by step

Yanxi Palace.

Baozi walked hastily.

"Empress, Sun Chao is here to report that Xuanque has asked to see Concubine Sheng."

Chunbi was copying the Heart Sutra. After hearing the voice, she paused her hands slightly, raised her eyes and said, "When did it happen?"

Baozi replied: "Just now."

"Let him in!" Chunbi ordered.

Baozi ran towards Sun Chao in three steps and two steps, her face was slightly blushing and her tone was soft, "The pure concubine wants you to come in."

Sun Chao lifted his feet and left.

Baozi stopped anxiously, "Hey!"

Sun Chao looked at her confused, "What's wrong?"

Baozi said coquettishly: "Remember to mention this to your empress..."

Sun Chao's face was solemn, "At this time, human life is at stake. Who's heart will be at peace until the dust settles at the last moment? Aren't you adding trouble to the empress?"

Baozi was hurriedly reprimanded, her face became more complicated, and she said rather weakly: "If you don't - tell me - just stop talking."

Sun Chao thought for a few seconds, walked towards Baozi, and said solemnly: "There are many eyes in the palace, don't be so obvious in the future, otherwise, you and I will not survive."

Looking at Sun Chao's brown pupils and sharp facial features, Baozi felt her mouth go dry and her heart softened involuntarily. She whispered: "Whatever you say is whatever it is, I'll just listen."

Then, Sun Chao stepped into the inner hall.

"I see you, the pure concubine!" Sun Chao said, cupping his fists.

Chunbi asked directly: "Has Xuanque met Shengbi?"

Sun Chao bowed and replied: "Yes."

"What did you say?" Chunbi put down the Heart Sutra, and her body became straighter unconsciously.

Sun Chao looked at the pure concubine and replied: "Back to the queen, the concubine Sheng ordered everyone to wait outside. Not even Zhixia went in."

"Oh?" The pure concubine asked in surprise.

Sun Chao continued: "Not only that, when Concubine Sheng came out, she also had a piece of paper in her hand."

"A piece of paper?" Chunbi whispered to herself.

Baozi listened anxiously, "Did Xuanque say something?"

The pure concubine immediately cast a sharp look.

Baozi felt a chill on her neck and explained: "Is this slave asking whether Xuanque will frame the empress?"

Only then did Chunbi give up, "Can you see clearly what is written?"

Sun Chao frowned and thought: "It's impossible to see clearly, but at the door, my subordinates seemed to have heard something about the list of people entering and leaving Yanxi Palace..."

Baozi said eagerly, as if he suddenly remembered it, "Mother, that Xuanque has seen a lot of people too!"

The pure concubine reprimanded: "Is there anything I'm afraid of seeing her!"

Baozi's face turned red and she looked at Sun Chao with gleaming eyes.

Sure enough, Chunbi said to Sun Chao: "Okay, you go back, remember not to mention this to anyone."

Sun Chao cupped his fists and said, "Yes, I obey my orders!"

Baozi's gaze also became distracted as Sun Chao left.

The pure concubine said calmly: "When did you two fall in love?"

This sentence frightened Baozi to the point where he knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said, "I acknowledge my sin!"

She originally thought that the pure concubine would blame herself, but unexpectedly she not only did not blame, but her tone was surprisingly calm, "How long have you been feeling well?" Baozi then stood up straight, clasped his fingers and replied: "About two months. "

Chunbi raised her eyes and looked at her, "Is this Sun Chao trustworthy?"

Baozi nodded again and again, "Your Majesty, don't worry, Sun Chao treats his servants well. He said that when the Emperor hunts in spring, he will seize the opportunity to show himself, and then he will ask the Emperor and Your Majesty for a favor and marry his servants as his wife." .”

Seeing the happy look on Baozi's face, Chunbi no longer made things difficult for her, "If he is of the same mind as me, I can promise to point you to him."

Baozi's eyes shone and she said in disbelief: "Really? Thank you, empress, thank you, empress!"

After Sun left the Yanxi Palace, the eyeliner who was waiting on the side quickly returned to Zhaoyang Palace.

Sheng Yi looked at the paper pressed on the inkstone and described it over and over again.

"Sun Chao has gone back?"

Xiao Anzi replied, "Yes, ma'am."

Then, he said kindly, "Okay, it's time for us to watch a good show..."

Sun Chao's "reminder" made Chunbi a little uncomfortable. She was quite curious about the list that Shenyi took away.From dawn to dusk, Chunbi became more convinced that she was truly curious.

"Empress, why aren't you sleeping yet?" Baozi was immersed in the joy of the pure concubine's promise to marry her, and had long forgotten the current situation in Yanxi Palace.

Chunbi thought about it and asked, "Are there any suspicious people who have been in and out of Yanxi Palace recently?"

Baozi was stunned for two seconds before she realized what she was doing. She was a little unsure and said, "Is it suspicious?"

"Now is a critical juncture, no one can let go!" Chunbi said, stroking the heater. It's not that she is suspicious, but she really can't tolerate any changes. The emperor is considering Yan'er's marriage. Once this is done, they will be together. The family now has a towering tree to rely on.Furthermore, it can be seen from the Queen Mother's handling of Xuanque that the Queen Mother is anxious to repair the relationship with the Emperor. In this matter, the Queen Mother does not care about right or wrong and only focuses on efficiency. Marriage is equally hopeless, everything is a chain within a chain.

Until, it was getting late.

As night fell, the pure concubine wore a cloak and left in a sedan chair.

Along the way, Chunbi was thinking about how to ask so that Xuanque would not be suspicious.

Soon they arrived at the clan mansion.

Sun Chao stood up cautiously, "See you, the pure concubine."

The pure concubine looked at Sun Chao and whispered: "Take me to see Xuanque."

Sun Chao nodded, "Yes."

cell.

Xuanque was dirty and looked very downcast.

"Are you still worried?" Xuan Que didn't look up, but there was a sneer in his voice.

Seeing Xuanque's attitude, Chunbi was still very cautious, "I don't understand what you are saying."

Xuanque then raised his head to look at Chunbi, and curiously said sarcastically: "It's already here, why are you pretending? You've been using me as a pawn from the beginning, right?"

The pure concubine no longer tried to hide it, "It's only your fault that you are too greedy!"

Xuanque looked at her coldly.

"You want to linger on the old relationship with Shengyi, but also want to show your loyalty in front of me. Isn't that too greedy? I am not stupid. If you get the chance, you will definitely abandon me and go to Shengyi. Therefore, bengong It’s true to use you, and it’s true to want to cultivate you, but it’s also true to see that you are ruthless in nature! People like you are just unfamiliar dogs, and sooner or later they will bite their masters back. Instead of doing this, it’s better to raise you as a dog. A sharp sword, when you need it, you are a cutting axe, and when you don't need it, you can somewhat block the sword for me, why not do it?" Chun Concubine no longer concealed her contempt for Xuan Que.

Xuan Que's heart ached as if he had been stabbed, "You keep saying that training me is a conspiracy! You just want to use me to retaliate against Sheng Yi and Zi Ning, but it's a pity that you didn't expect my kindness to the two sisters It's easy to talk about other things, but I can't do it to harm them!"

The pure concubine smiled mockingly, "Aren't you in jail now for framing the concubine? If you can be of the same mind as me, maybe there is someone else here..."

Xuanque looked at the pure concubine who seemed to have changed into a different person, shook her head and said: "You won't end up any better than me!"

Chunbi stopped talking nonsense to her and asked, "What exactly did you say to Shenyi? What did you write?"

Xuanque calmed down instead, slowly arranging her hair, looking at the anxious Chunbi, and faintly uttered a few words: "Aconite, dried ginger..."

While Chunbi was shocked, Xuanque continued to say quietly: "Xiuling..."
