Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 241
"The Queen Mother?" Guo Changxi laughed at herself, "The Empress Dowager almost treats me like a waste, and she can't wait to find another trustworthy person to enter the palace to compete for favor? How do you want me to trust her?"

Su Wan couldn't laugh or cry when she heard the words, Guo Changxi didn't think that the empress dowager came here to win favor in the palace, right?

Su Wan was about to say that she was thinking too much, but Guo Changxi said again: "Actually, it's good if you enter the palace, at least you can break the balance in the palace. The empress is not in good health, so your majesty asked the fourth concubine to assist with the palace affairs. Now, The fourth concubine controls the palace affairs, and her status is as solid as gold. Except for the concubine Xian, they all have heirs. In the future, when the empress dies, all four of them will have the opportunity to sit on the throne of the queen. Originally, the concubine Zhen was ambitious and wanted to be the queen, so the fourth concubine Pulling down the horse and replacing it by yourself is now impossible."

As for her, it is even more impossible. Thanks to her ambition to aim at the queen's throne, now it seems that she is really ignorant.

However, if Su Wan could break the balance of the harem, she might not have the chance to sit on the throne she dreamed of, so she wouldn't mind teaming up with her once.

Dealing with Su Wan in the future is much better than dealing with the fourth concubine now.

Hearing Guo Changxi talking to herself here and not listening to what she said just now, Su Wan was speechless at all, what did she say to join forces?She doesn't want to be the emperor's concubine, what will they do together?Even if she really had to enter the palace, it was impossible for her to join hands with her, because that would be tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger.

The most important thing is, how could Guo Changxi trust her so much and say these words out loud?And, doesn't she know that there is a phrase 'walls have ears'?What's more, this is still the palace, and I don't know whose eyes and ears are around. If she speaks like this, isn't she afraid of being heard?

Or did she deliberately want people to hear these words?
No matter what kind, it is not a good thing for Su Wan.

She only entered the palace to treat the empress dowager's illness, and to find a backer for herself. She knew how much she weighed, but she didn't intend to get involved in the affairs of the harem.

Su Wan sighed softly, and said: "Miss Guo, whether you believe it or not, I want to repeat it again. I just came to the palace to treat the empress dowager. You really have to think too much. Not only do I threaten not to If you are concerned, you will not be able to threaten you in the future, so you really don't have to think so highly of me. Besides, where did the empress know that your majesty treats me differently?"

Guo Changxi didn't believe Su Wan's words at all, and said, "A woman's intuition, and..."

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, stared into Su Wan's eyes and said: "Over two months ago, Your Majesty went to Dajue Temple to escape the summer heat, and it was just for you, right? Although I'm in the palace, I don't know much about it. Lingtong, but I also found out that during your time, you lived in a village in the western suburbs of the capital."

This was also because Guo Changxi had noticed the matter between Su Wan and Emperor Xiande before entering the palace, and paid more attention to her, so she knew about it.

Seeing that Su Wan's face finally changed slightly, Guo Changxi first smiled triumphantly, then showed a trace of sarcasm, and murmured with a hint of resentment: "I should have guessed this would happen, no wonder His Majesty couldn't see anyone for three days, and said What retreat and fasting, it turns out..."

Su Wan was indeed a little embarrassed to be exposed by someone about what happened that day, but she quickly reacted and said, "Your Majesty, Minnv doesn't know what you are talking about. Two months ago, Minnv was still on her way to Beijing."

"Hmph, it's time like this, so don't lie to me anymore." Guo Changxi sneered, and then said with great interest: "You said, if I tell the empress and the fourth concubine about the scandal between you and your majesty, Can you still see the sun tomorrow?"

Just as Guo Changxi finished speaking, she heard a deep, pleasant voice with a hint of murderous intent coming from outside the door——

"If you really dare to speak out, I can guarantee that you will be the one who won't see the sun tomorrow."

Guo Changxi recognized the owner of the voice, and she immediately turned pale, and her hairs stood on end because of extreme shock.

Su Wan also looked at the door in astonishment, and saw that the door was pushed open, and Emperor Xian De walked in with a gloomy face, followed by the maids and eunuchs, who stayed outside the door.

"A concubine (civilian daughter) kowtows to the emperor." Seeing Emperor Xiande, Guo Changxi and Su Wan immediately knelt down and saluted. Guo Changxi's face was extremely pale. She never thought that His Majesty would come over at this time. Fortunately, Coincidentally, he heard what he said, and he was frightened and uneasy.

Emperor Xiande directly passed Guo Changxi and helped Su Wan up with his own hands, his face had already softened a lot, and he said softly: "Madam has been wronged, I don't know that she would be so bold and dare to use this matter to threaten you Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise, I don’t know how she would bully you!”

After comforting Su Wan, Emperor Xiande looked at Guo Changxi, his expression turned cold again, and said, "Guo Meiren, I am not afraid to tell you the truth, you guessed right, I did go to sleep because of my wife. Si, so what? What kind of thing are you, you dare to meddle in my business? If it weren't for the madam not wanting to enter the palace, why would I be so secretive for fear of being discovered? If you want to tell the matter, go ahead Let me tell you, I wish Madam could enter the palace soon! With Madam protected, I would like to see, who dares to do anything to her?"

Guo Changxi knelt down on the ground, her body trembling uncontrollably, but beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and she didn't even dare to excuse herself.

Because she knew that if she continued to offend His Majesty, let alone compete for favor, she might lose her life.

She suppressed the fear, resentment and resentment in her heart, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty... the concubine knows it's wrong... I beg your majesty to spare me!"

"Get lost! Don't let me see you in front of Madam again."

Guo Changxi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Emperor Xiande told her to leave, and kowtowed again: "Yes, concubine resigns!"

After Guo Changxi left, the door of the room was closed again.

Only Emperor Xian De and Su Wan were left in the room.

"Ma'am, I saved you again, how can you thank me this time?" With no one in the way of eyes, Emperor Xiande was in a good mood and became more unscrupulous. He directly stepped forward and put his arms around Su Wan's waist, sniffing While smelling the fragrance of her hair, she said with a rippling face.

Su Wan looked at Emperor Xian De in surprise, wasn't he still very angry yesterday?Why do you look like this now?
"Then how does Your Majesty want me to thank you?" Su Wan asked.

Emperor Xian De's eyes suddenly darkened when he looked at her, and he said slowly: "I want you."

Su Wan was shocked when she heard the words, and immediately objected: "Your Majesty, no!"

"Why not?" Seeing that she wanted to break free, Emperor Xian De couldn't help hugging her even tighter, "We have been separated for so long, but I have been thinking of you all the time, Madam also said yesterday that she wanted me? Could it be that now? Just regret it?"
