The Evil King's Crazy Wife: The World of Ghost Concubine

Chapter 453 The Power Behind Her
Outside Fenglin Palace, Eunuch Li trotted to the Queen, forgetting to even salute, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that something happened to the Ji family."

"Oh? What happened? Let's listen carefully!"

Eunuch Li quickly replied: "The slave has been sending people to watch the noise outside at the queen's order. The Ji family's business has encountered problems in the past two days, and the people smashed the store and drove them away. They said that the Ji family offended the gods. It brought disaster to the capital, just yesterday, the Ji family's son was trampled to death by the people, Mrs. Ji was also killed by Miss Ji, and the servants and maids of the Ji family also fled and scattered!"

The queen could hardly believe her ears, she stood up and said, "Is what you said true?"

"It's true, ma'am!"

"But I asked you two days ago, and you still said nothing happened."

"Yeah, it happened two days ago. It turned out that the workers in Ji's shop got a little angry. They drove away customers, and there were reactions of stealing. There were no major incidents of life, but it was only three days. Three or four In a matter of days, the Ji family was destroyed like this."

The queen was startled: "You just said that Mrs. Ji was killed by Miss Ji's family? That girl Ji Wenzhi?"

"That's right, Miss Ji has already been taken back by the yamen. She also admitted that she killed someone. Although it was a mistake, she did kill her own mother."

Lian Xin sighed after hearing this: "Niang Niang, I heard earlier that Miss Ji's family is well-educated, gentle and honest, and she was able to kill her own mother. It's really surprising."

The empress was also terrified: "It's fortunate that such a woman did not become the prince's Liangdi."

Lian Xin nodded: "Yes, but the Ji family is really a pity."

The queen frowned: "Is it a pity? I don't think it's a pity at all."

"What does your lady mean by that?"

"The crown princess said, give her ten days, she will naturally have a way to let the Ji family leave the capital, and even the business of the Ji family will never get better again. What she said at the beginning has now become a reality, which shows that the crown princess has Comparing this skill with this, the demise of the Ji family is not a pity at all."

Lian Xin thought the same thing, the reason why the empress wanted to choose Na Liangdi for the prince was to find more support for the prince, not only from the court, but also from the people. The method, in short, she let the queen see, no matter whether it is in the harem or the court, whether it is in the court or the people, as long as she wants, she can do it.

Such a big Ji family, even if it was a single family, I'm afraid it would not be destroyed so quickly, but the Crown Princess did it, which is enough to prove her strength.

But the queen is still worried, because Yun Lanyue's strength is beyond her cognition. These days, she obviously didn't do anything. If she asked the Yun family to do everything, that's even more impossible. How could he be so stupid as to only stare at Yun Lanyue and relax his vigilance towards the Yun family?
If Yun Lanyue didn't use the power of the Yun family, it means that she still has a mysterious power in her hands, or that the Yun family still has secrets that no one knows.

No matter which point is mentioned above, it can be a good thing or a bad thing for the prince. If this matter arouses the emperor's suspicion, then the Yun family...the empress dare not think about it. The most important thing now is how to divert the emperor's attention .

She has already got the news, how could the emperor not know about it?

The queen got up and said: "Lian Xin, go prepare some snacks, I'm going to the imperial study to visit the emperor."

"promise."

The queen didn't intend to help Yun Lanyue hide it, but this matter, if the emperor suspected that he had come to the Yun family, it would not be of any benefit to the prince's ascension to the throne. The prince needed the support of the Yun family very much, and she knew this in her heart.

In the imperial study room, Hongluan was studying ink, while the emperor concentrated on reading the memorial, sometimes frowning, sometimes stretching.

De'an knocked on the door and said outside: "Your Majesty, the Empress is asking to see you outside."

The emperor subconsciously looked up at the gate, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Go in."

Hongluan put down the work in hand, and asked with a smile: "The queen is here, why is the emperor not happy?"

"It's fine if it's normal, but today, it's too coincidental that the queen came here."

"It must be that the emperor is overthinking, what kind of coincidence is there?" As she said, she bowed and stepped aside, seeing the queen pushing the door in, she blessed her body respectfully: "My concubine pays her respects to the empress."

The queen looked up at her, was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said: "It turns out that Xu Zhaoyi is also here, so this concubine has spoiled the emperor's interest."

The emperor put down the brush in his hand: "The queen is too worried, she is just here to help me grind ink."

The queen winked at Lian Xin who was behind her, Lian Xin understood, stepped forward and sent the snack in her hand to the desk in front of the emperor.

"Looking at what the emperor said, the concubine didn't mean anything else, it was just a casual remark, Xu Zhaoyi, you should try the dessert that I just made."

"No, thank you, Empress, for the reward." After saying that, Hongluan stepped forward to lift the lid of the dessert bowl, and lightly took a piece into her mouth.

The pastries brought by the Queen are of a moderate size and melt in the mouth, so they are naturally delicious.

After savoring it carefully, Hong Luan couldn't help admiring: "The queen's concubine's craftsmanship is really ingenious. If you were a concubine, you would never be able to do this. Your majesty, the dim sum is delicious. You should also try a piece." He took a piece and handed it to the emperor's mouth.

As soon as she let it go, Hong Luan realized that she seemed to have overdone it in front of the queen, and hurriedly wanted to take the pastry back. Unexpectedly, the emperor opened his mouth quickly and ate it, which made her face turn red, and the emperor was very happy when she saw it .

The queen covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "Seeing that Xu Zhaoyi has taken care of the emperor so meticulously, the concubine is relieved. Your majesty, the concubine has nothing else to do, so I will leave first."

Hearing this, the emperor was slightly stunned: "The empress is only here to deliver snacks?"

"I made some when I had nothing to do. I was thinking of sending some to the emperor. I still have some at the concubine's place. I was thinking of sending some to the prince. That girl Huier has been running to the East Palace recently, and I think it's there. This snack Her favorite."

The emperor's heart softened, thinking that he was narrow-minded and misunderstood the queen, so he took the initiative to bring up the matter of the Ji family: "I don't know if the queen has heard that there has been trouble in the Ji family recently."

The queen sighed, and did not hide it: "The concubine also heard about this matter, but after thinking about it carefully, the concubine's eyes are still clumsy, and she didn't realize that the girl from the Ji family was such a cruel and merciless person that she didn't even let her biological mother go. .”

The empress wisely focused her thoughts on Ji Wenzhi. In this way, in the eyes of the emperor, she chose the Ji family because Ji Wenzhi was suitable for the post of Concubine Liang on the premise that she was worthy of the crown prince. .
