Queen's scheming

Chapter 104 The Hate of Seizing the Palace ([-])

"What did you say?" Tang Aoxue raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "She, Shen Qingwan, wants to stay in Zhaoyang Palace?"

Yun Lu said unhurriedly: "Returning to Concubine Xue's words, the maidservant just got the news. In the morning, Concubine Wan went to pay her respects to Empress Concubine, and threatened her with the fetus in her womb. You want to exchange palaces with Concubine Xue. The empress accepted the honor of her imperial concubine, but Zhaoyang Palace did not promise her the honor!"

Tang Aoxue raised her eyes, stared at Yunlu closely and asked, "What did you say? The empress accepted the honor of her imperial concubine? The imperial concubine is the same queen, why should she, Shen Qingwan?"

Yun Lu pursed her lips, and said: "This servant has inquired carefully from the maids serving in Ningsu Palace. The queen should not be her, and said that she would wait for her to give birth to the little prince before canonization, but Concubine Wan said, if the queen does not Yes, she went to find the Queen Mother."

"Then let her find the Queen Mother. A well-mannered Queen Mother will definitely not allow her to treat the royal rules as nothing." Tang Aoxue said angrily.Shen Qingwan is just a child born to an aunt in Fengguo's mansion, and she surpassed her to become the imperial concubine, even the noble concubine Duanjing, why should she?
Yun Lu was silent for a moment, calming Tang Aoxue, and then said: "This servant has served the queen mother for a while, and according to the servant's understanding of the queen mother, if Concubine Wan really goes to Cihui Palace to mention it, the queen mother will do the same. Like the Empress, I accepted her!"

"Why is that?" Tang Aoxue really didn't understand.

Yun Lu was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and replied respectfully: "Because the child in Concubine Wan's womb is the only heir of the emperor, the empress dowager respects the emperor in everything. Over the years, the concubines of the sixth palace have accepted many concubines, but only a handful of pregnant women are pregnant. Countable, and none of them survived."

"That's because the emperor didn't perform Zhou Gong's rituals with those concubines at all, so naturally he couldn't have children!" Tang Aoxue blurted out.Li Tianyou is no longer that young man who is new to the world, and his interest in the concubines of the Six Palaces is only mediocre. Even if it is Tang Aoxue, Li Tianyou stays in Zhaoyang Palace for ten days, at most one day, and has skin-to-skin relationship with her, not to mention Others.Calling the nearby concubines to bed is just for the Empress Dowager to see.

Yun Lu lowered her head, pretending she didn't hear the words, and continued: "There have long been rumors from the outside world that the emperor's heirs are in trouble, and the empress dowager will never allow such filthy words to ruin the emperor's reputation, but she wants to break such rumors , the only way is for a concubine to give birth to a child in the harem."

Tang Aoxue bit her lower lip with her white teeth, she couldn't be more angry, just because of that piece of meat in Shen Qingwan's stomach, would she be a head taller than herself?

Tang Aoxue was a little flustered, she didn't allow people like Shen Qingwan to surpass herself, which seriously frustrated her self-esteem, she asked in a panic: "Yun Lu, didn't you say that you can use hawthorn and soft-shelled turtle to make her have a miscarriage? Quickly get these things to Shen Qingwan's side!"

Yun Lu shook her head and said: "Mother, it's too late, Concubine Wan's fetal gas is already stable, even if you use these things, it won't hurt your body, and besides, these things must be eaten many times to be effective. The defense is very tight now, and the ingredients can't be sent in."

"Then what should I do?" Tang Aoxue frowned and said, "Are you just watching her over my concubine?"

Yun Lu was silent, raised her eyes and said, "For the present plan, the only way is to ask General Tang for help!"

"Brother?" Tang Aoxue paced and said, "My concubine had such a quarrel with my brother earlier, how could he help me again?"

"It's a family anyway. General Tang won't really get angry with the empress. As long as the empress speaks a few soft words, the previous matter will be uncovered." Yun Lu comforted.

"How can a man help him? I can't let my brother kill her with a single sword, can I?" Tang Aoxue sighed.

Yun Lu poured a cup of tea from the red clay stove beside her, and gave it to Tang Aoxue with both hands. What she needs most at the moment is to calm down, and being so restless will not accomplish anything. "When Min Ronghua was born, the House of Internal Affairs and The Imperial Dining Room was implicated. Since then, the two places have joined forces to make the palace forbidden watertight. Anyone who carries it privately will be cut in half. So now it is extremely difficult to get something from outside the palace into the palace, but General Tang is now a celebrity around the emperor, no one dares to search him, it would be the best if he could bring things from outside the palace into the palace."

"What do you want him to bring?" Tang Aoxue stared at Yunlu and asked.

Yun Lu bowed her head and said without any expression: "Of course it's something that won't appear in the palace!"

"But brother has already said last time, he won't help me get rid of the child in Concubine Wan's stomach." Tang Aoxue was a little annoyed, if Tang Zihan was willing to help her back then, Shen Qingwan wouldn't be so arrogant now.

"Today is different! In the past, Concubine Wan was on an equal footing with the empress, but now she is about to surpass the empress, and it is not the empress that you insist on bullying her, but she is the first to provoke the empress. It is a great insult to you to actually want to change the palace with your empress. Besides, although the empress was favored before, she has a bad relationship with Fengguo's mansion, which is well known in the world, but Shen Qingwan is different. Concubine Huang, the status of Duke Feng's Mansion is likely to be higher than that of Duke Zhen Guo. This is no longer just a trivial matter of jealousy between you and Concubine Wan in the harem. Fight! This servant believes that General Tang will definitely help the empress!" Yun Lu analyzed each and every one of them.

Tang Aoxue's brows relaxed, and the anxiety in her eyes finally dissipated. She believed in Tang Zihan. Tang Zihan helped her solve any problems she had when she was young. As long as Tang Zihan was willing to help her, she would definitely be able to defeat Shen Qingwan. .

"Thank you, Yun Lu. If you weren't by my side, I would have known what to do." Tang Aoxue said sincerely.

Everyone said that Tang Aoxue was cold and arrogant, but she was not. Since she was a child, she followed her elder sister Tang Litong as an example. In her opinion, everything about Tang Litong was so perfect. Comparable to Shen Qingwan, but she is slightly inferior in appearance to Shen Qingyi. She has been proficient in playing chess, calligraphy, painting and knitting since she was a child.

She fantasizes that one day she will be as perfect as her sister, marry a well-matched family, be on par with her husband, and take care of her husband and teach her children.But all of this was broken by Mrs. Zhongshanhou. The death of Zhongshanhou's young father-in-law had nothing to do with her, but Mrs. Zhongshanhou spread rumors everywhere, saying that she, Tang Aoxue, ordered her to be tough. Since then, her fate has been completely ruled out. Rewritten, the ladies who have always been close to her avoided her one after another, and the person who came to ask to marry was either his father's lieutenant general, or he was going to marry his stepmother.

Who is she, Tang Aoxue, how can she allow others to bully her like this, so she began to go to extremes, unwilling to speak, unwilling to communicate with others, and gradually developed her current temperament, Yunlu was her first time in the palace Open your heart to accept someone.

After listening to Tang Aoxue's thanks, Yun Lu was a little dazed. The ladies of these aristocratic families never said thank you to a servant girl, but she didn't really think about Tang Aoxue when she came up with these ideas beside Tang Aoxue...
