The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 296
Concubine Luo was actually somewhat afraid of the queen in her heart. When the queen opened her mouth at this moment, her arrogance was instantly extinguished, and she even lowered her head in fear and said in a low voice: "I dare not, my concubine is angry for a while, and her words and deeds are inappropriate. I hope the Queen will forgive me."

The queen has seen a lot of roles such as good and evil, and she has never paid attention to a Luo side concubine, but it is precisely because of this small role that she did not pay attention to, that she ruined her emperor's life. Losing the position of the crown prince because of the lack of sky poison in her body, the queen became mad with anger, but after years of self-cultivation, she tried her best to restrain the anger in her heart: "Forgive me! You poisoned my prince, and you still have the face to tell me! Forgive me, the prince's future is completely ruined in your hands, I wish I could tear you to pieces."

Concubine Luo had never seen such a look of resentment from the queen, nor had she heard such fierce words from the queen. She was so frightened and overwhelmed that she ignored the prince's poisoning in the queen's words.After all, she is a boudoir girl who only knows how to do some small tricks. She was frightened by the queen's intimidating aura, and suddenly panicked.

At this moment, all the nuns and maids who were searching came to the yard, and one of the nuns handed a brocade box with a small lock in her hand to Mammy Yang and said, "This brocade box is from the bottom of Concubine Luo's box." When they were dug out, the servants did not know what was inside because the top was locked."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Yang looked at the Queen and said, "My Lady Queen, I'm afraid this brocade box is weird."

The queen took a deep look at Concubine Luo, and said to Nanny Yang: "You take this brocade box to the imperial study in person, and the lord of the country can open this brocade box in person, otherwise people with ulterior motives may say that we secretly changed it." what's inside."

Concubine Luo, who was so frightened that she had no idea, saw her beloved brocade box falling into the hands of the queen, her face was anxious, she could not be afraid, she hurriedly kneeled in front of the queen, hugged the queen's leg and begged bitterly Said: "My queen, there is nothing special in this brocade box, please return it to my concubine."

Concubine Luo would be indifferent, but she seemed so anxious, the queen suddenly became more and more suspicious of what was hidden in the brocade box, she kicked Concubine Luo away, and said to Nanny Yang: "What are you waiting for? Send the brocade box to the imperial study."

After hearing this, Nanny Yang came to her senses, took the brocade box and hurried to the imperial study, while the queen ordered someone to tie up Concubine Luo.

Nanny Yang left for about half an hour, then turned around, and at the same time brought back an imperial decree from Li Yi: Concubine Luo deliberately murdered the crown prince, and found Wutian poison powder in his bedroom. The goddaughters of the clan were not good, and the whole family was demoted to be untouchables and sent to Bitter Cold City. Without the holy edict, they would never be allowed to return to Beijing.

After receiving the imperial decree, Concubine Luo finally realized that she had been set up by Concubine Xie, so she struggled desperately despite the suppression of her servants, and shouted for injustice.

"I don't want to hear Concubine Luo say a word, so shut up her mouth!" The queen waved her hand in dismay, and the servant immediately took a veil, forced it into Concubine Luo's mouth, and Concubine Luo dragged her out of the East Palace.

In Sydney Palace, Concubine Ge broke out in a cold sweat when she heard the news that Concubine Luo was being dealt with. Fortunately, she did not conspire with Concubine Luo at that time, otherwise she must have caused trouble to her upper body. , giving birth to a kind of fear, she was afraid that she would be killed by design at some point.

Concubine Luo's matter passed like this. Concubine Ge waited quietly for a few days, and seeing that Li Yi did not suspect her because of Concubine Luo's matter, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time, she did not dare to Instigated the second prince and Li Dingkang to compete for the crown prince.

It has to be said that Li Yi is a person who respects his wife very much. No matter how much he loves that concubine, he always respects the queen. He never intervenes in matters of the harem, and he also places great hopes on Li Dingkang , even though he doesn't like Li Dingkang's good sex, he still regards Li Dingkang as his most valued son.Now even though Li Dingkang was poisoned by Wutian Poison, he did not give birth to the idea of ​​abolishing the prince, but ordered the imperial physician to do his best to treat Li Dingkang.

However, Li Yi attaches great importance to the distinction between concubine and concubine. Apart from Concubine Le who sees it clearly, the other person who understands is the queen. After all, they have been married for decades, if they don't know the person next to him, she will not be the queen long ago. It will not be guaranteed.

Apart from Concubine Ge knowing about Li Dingkang's non-toxic nature, Li Yi's other concubines with sons also heard the news, so there was an undercurrent in the already restless harem.

Concubine Le is the queen's confidant, and everyone in the harem knows that she is attached to the queen, so several side concubines have moved the idea of ​​pulling Concubine Le.

This day Concubine Le just got up from her lunch break, the female official went into the inner bedroom and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xu is asking to see you."

Concubine Le frowned displeased when she heard this, and then said to the female official: "Changing clothes for me, and I'll serve you better tea."

While changing the clothes for Concubine Le, the female official replied softly: "The slave has already ordered tea, and Concubine Xu is using it!"

Concubine Le nodded slightly when she heard the words, and let the female officer and maid help her to change her clothes and make up. When everything was done, she supported the female officer's hand, and walked to the main hall of Yujing Palace in a stately manner.Concubine Xu is an elegant beauty with willow eyebrows and watery eyes. Different from Concubine Ge's dark brows, she gives people a kind and gentle feeling, but she must not be fooled by her appearance. The compound gave birth to sons in peace, and even brought them up, and there are a few good ones.

Seeing Concubine Le, Concubine Xu hurriedly got up to greet Concubine Le and saluted, "Greetings to Concubine Le, and all blessings to Concubine Le."

Concubine Le is also a master at the front of the crowd, she kindly helped Concubine Xu up and said: "Sister, don't be too polite, sit down quickly!"

Concubine Xu sat down again according to her words, she knew that Concubine Le was a shrewd person who would think best of herself, so she didn't beat around the bush, and went straight to the point: "Sister Le, in fact, Sister Le's intention of coming here today must be very important to Sister Le's heart." Clearly, my sister will stop beating around the bush. If something like this happened to the Crown Prince, is Sister Le still planning to help Sister Queen wholeheartedly?"

Concubine Le was neither angry nor angry when she heard the words, she just looked at Concubine Xu with a gentle smile and said, "Then what does sister Xu mean, do you want me to abandon the queen and cooperate with you?"

As soon as Concubine Xu heard this, she secretly thought that there was a joke, and said with a more friendly smile: "Sister Le, we have been sisters for many years, and my sister knows best what kind of temperament I am. If you are willing to help my fourth prince ascend the crown prince In the future, the fourth prince will inherit the throne, and he will definitely make you the Empress Dowager, which is much safer than being a concubine."
