Queen's scheming

Chapter 167 Calculation ([-])

"What's going on here? Concubine Xue, tell me carefully!" If it's just the jealousy of the women in the harem, the queen mother would turn a blind eye and pretend she didn't know. As the old saying goes, neither deaf nor deaf Being dumb is hard to be a family man, and being a queen mother in the harem is the same reason. If you have to take care of everything, the most difficult thing to do is your own son. But now it is impossible for the queen mother to ignore Li Tianyou's body. up.

Tang Aoxue pulled the moon-white cloak between her arms, and said coldly: "If I hadn't discovered this thing, my concubine wouldn't be so impulsive, wearing a birthday suit for herself, and insulting the empress, concubine is really forced It won't work."

"The emperor just stayed in Zhaoyang Palace for one night. I didn't expect the empress to be so jealous that she wanted to kill my concubine. In the middle of the night, I sent a personal maid to put this medicine in my Zhaoyang Palace. If it is found during the palace search, the heads of concubines and concubines are not enough to cut off, how can the empress's heart be so vicious!" Tang Aoxue was filled with righteous indignation, and had to dig out Shen Qingyi's heart to see if it was red. up.

The queen mother glanced at Shen Qingyi, and said angrily: "Queen, what do you say?"

Shen Qingyi is very jealous, everyone in the six palaces knows it, but the queen mother always thinks that this is the reason why Shen Qingyi loves the emperor too much, anyway, Li Tianyou also dotes on her, there is nothing wrong with the two of them loving each other, besides, Shen Qingyi accepted Mi Yurou sensibly, and got along well with Mi Yurou, and even brought Tang Aoxue, who threatened her status, into the palace as a concubine. Jealousy is acceptable, what woman is not jealous, saying that she doesn't want her husband to stay with her every day.

But if things like medicine are used, the Empress Dowager can't bear it anymore, it will hurt the emperor's body, it's weird to hear from the nanny that Li Tianyou stayed overnight in Zhaoyang Palace the day before yesterday and asked for water twice, which is against the strict self-discipline For Li Tianyou, this is really unusual. Could it be because of the use of this medicine?
The Empress Dowager frowned suddenly, it didn't make sense, the medicine was taken to Zhaoyang Palace yesterday, but Li Tianyou stayed there the night before.

Seeing the Empress Dowager frowning, Shen Qingyi said softly: "The Empress Dowager also noticed something wrong, didn't she? If the concubine sent the maid to secretly release the medicine, then it should have been released the day before yesterday, why bother yesterday? Running around at night? Besides, everyone knows how much the emperor loves his concubines and concubines. The day before yesterday it was only because the concubines had to preside over the banquet, and the imperial concubine Duanjing wanted to help, so he handed over the drunken emperor. Concubine Xue is serving, so the emperor will stay in Zhaoyang Palace, otherwise, how could Concubine Xue have the opportunity to sleep with her?"

Shen Qingyi glanced at Tang Aoxue bluntly and said: "It's not that this palace insists on making it so clear, it's really Concubine Xue who forced this palace to say such ugly things. To put it bluntly, if it wasn't for this palace to allow you to serve the emperor , how can your green head card be hung up, this palace can cancel your chance to serve the bed with just one sentence, so that you can't see the emperor for a few months, why bother to put that medicine in your Zhaoyang Palace? ?”

All the concubines felt that Shen Qingyi's words were reasonable. If Shen Qingyi didn't want Tang Aoxue to be in bed, why bother, as long as the pillow blows, let alone ten days and a half months, a year and a half to keep Li Tianyou from seeing Tang Aoxue, Li Tianyou She will definitely obey her, who made Shen Qingyi so precious at the moment, the emperor's heir in her belly is capital.

Tang Aoxue seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and said coldly: "No matter how much the empress quibbles, it is true that the lady's personal maid is wearing night clothes, and it is true that she was found in Zhaoyang Palace at night. , with dozens of pairs of eyes staring at her, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, it can’t be the concubine lying, no matter how much the concubine framed the empress, she can’t make Yu Lian appear in Zhaoyang Palace like this Bar!"

Yu Lian was drowsy just now, now she is a little sober, supported by two maids, she forced her body to kowtow to the Queen Mother and said: "Queen Mother, the medicine powder is a product of Zhaoyang Palace. It is really unreasonable to stay overnight in Zhaoyang Palace. The servant girl went to Zhaoyang Palace privately without the permission of the empress. When she found this thing, she hid it on her body. Those who went to Zhaoyang Palace, Concubine Xue clearly deliberately slandered the empress!"

"Nonsense! If the medicine is really something in my concubine's palace, and you have hidden it in your body, when I catch you, I will immediately kill you and cover it up. Why bother to go to such lengths?" , bring you to the Ningsu Palace to confront the queen?" Tang Aoxue felt a little complacent, this plan was so good that Shen Qingyi couldn't escape no matter what.

Yu Lian was indisputable, her body was still covered with bruises, and she was so anxious that she felt like sweating. The thin sweat was sticky on her body and fell into the wound. The painful Yu Lian almost couldn't stand upright, still holding on to herself. Said: "I also ask the Empress Dowager to be clear. This matter really has nothing to do with my mother. The servant girl visited Zhaoyang Palace at night, and the queen mother did not know. All the crimes are the fault of the servant girl!" Yu Lian thought that even if this matter cannot be avoided, It also definitely can't involve Shen Qingyi, at worst, it's just his own humble life!
Tang Aoxue said quietly: "You girl is loyal to protect the lord, but none of the concubines here know that Concubine Wan was found to have that kind of booklet in the past, and the Empress and Concubine Wan went out of Fengguo's mansion together, so rebellious, Who knows what kind of people will come out of a mansion that can even seek to usurp the throne? My younger sister is dishonest, and my older sister may not be any better. Who can say such things?"

What Tang Aoxue said inside and outside the meaning is that Shen Qingyi also uses this kind of thing on weekdays. The concubines of the Sixth Palace are a little thoughtful, and everyone knows that Shen Qingyi loves the Sixth Palace. If it is said that Shen Qingyi really used this Kind of thing, then it can be explained why Li Tianyou dotes on her so much. Since entering the palace, Li Tianyou has never stopped loving her.

Tang Aoxue felt that she must win this time. Most of the concubines were on her side, but the only thing Tang Aoxue didn't count was the queen mother's thoughts.Tang Aoxue mentioned the Duke's Mansion of Fengguo, and reminded the Queen Mother that in order to help Li Tianyou, Shen Qingyi killed his relatives righteously, causing the Duke's Mansion of Fengguo to be destroyed overnight. If Shen Qingyi hadn't stood by Li Tianyou's side, would the current Jiangshan's surname be Shen or Li? , no one can say for sure, just for this point, the queen mother has to be grateful to Shen Qingyi!
The Empress Dowager closed her eyes for a moment, lightly flicked the jade beads in her hands, opened her eyes again, and said with a clear expression: "Okay, this girl, Yu Lian, made it clear that she was behind the empress's back to do such absurd things." This matter, Yu Lian will be pulled down and killed with a stick, no one is allowed to mention this matter again!" The Empress Dowager made a final decision with a stern expression, everyone could understand that if anyone dared to mention this matter again, their tongues would not be able to hold back!
Tang Aoxue didn't expect that she had put in all her efforts to deal with a court lady. If she had known this would be the result, why would she bother? If she can kill a Yulan, what is this Yulian?

"Queen!" Tang Aoxue and Shen Qingyi shouted together.

The queen mother got up and said coldly: "The Ai family said, this matter is not allowed to be mentioned again, whoever dares to mention this matter will be punished as a crime of treason!"

As soon as this remark came out, Tang Aoxue immediately shut her mouth, not daring to say a word, for the crime of treason, killing the nine clans, no matter how courageous she was, she would not dare to gamble with the Duke of Zhen's house.

"Queen Mother, this incident is definitely not done by Yu Lian. I, a person in Ningsu Palace, will never do such a thing. Please pay attention to the Queen Mother!" She has been by her side for so long and has always been loyal, she will keep her no matter what, even if the queen mother wants to take her life, she can't!
"Queen!" The Empress Dowager's complexion became very severe. She had already seen the matter of the Duke of Fengguo, spared Shen Qingyi, and only dealt with a maid. It is not an exaggeration for everyone in the first palace.The Empress Dowager had already considered Shen Qingyi's pregnancy, and she was extra merciful, but she didn't expect it, Shen Qingyi was still not satisfied!

Shen Qingyi closed her eyes, kowtowed again, and said sternly: "Please also ask the Queen Mother to observe clearly!"

The empress dowager's anger gradually rose, she had lived most of her life, and it was the first time someone disobeyed her like this, Shen Qingyi really didn't know what was good or bad!
"Come here, kill Yu Lian immediately, and execute the sentence now!" The queen mother felt that it was necessary to teach Shen Qingyi a lesson. No matter how much she pampered her, she was only a queen, and she, the queen mother, was still in the harem. She was jealous that she actually used things like aphrodisiacs on Li Tianyou, even if she wanted to use this thing to frame others, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, it was Shen Qingyi's fault that this thing was placed so close to Li Tianyou's boundary, now If you don't want to repent, how can the queen mother swallow this breath!

Shen Qingyi got up abruptly, stopped in front of Yulian, and said: "I will see who dares to touch her!"

Only Shen Qingyi's words completely put herself on the opposite side of the Empress Dowager. Concubine Duanjing desperately waved her hands opposite Shen Qingyi, telling her to give up Yulian. No matter how caring Yulian is, she is just a court lady. There is really no need for Shen Qingyi to confront the Queen Mother just because of a court lady, if the Queen Mother doesn't stand by her in the future, Shen Qingyi's life will be miserable!
Tang Aoxue was so happy at the moment, she thought all her thoughts were in vain, but she didn't expect that there was another village, and Shen Qingyi rushed to save a court lady, making the Queen Mother angry!If she had known that Shen Qingyi cherished this court lady so much, why would she waste so much thought and means!
The Empress Dowager's eyes narrowed slightly, she stared at Shen Qingyi closely, and the sound of twiddling the Buddha beads slightly paused, showing her anger at the moment, the Empress Dowager asked sharply: "Is the Empress going to disobey the Ai family's edict?"
