Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 28
Xie Wanqing only brought Lingshu into the palace, because Su Wen had to stay with Aunt Xue for a few days and take good care of her to prevent Aunt Xue from being murdered again.

When seeing Concubine Cui, the concubine was still very enthusiastic.

"Wan'er, you haven't come to see me for a while, you little heartless!" Concubine Cui Guifei's half-blame tone made Xie Wanqing's nose sour.

For Concubine Cui, their meeting was only a few months apart, but for her, it has been ten years of vicissitudes.

She dare not say how kind and good Concubine Cui Gui must be, after all, in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, to be able to sit on the throne of Concubine Gui must have some means.

What's more, the queen passed away early, and now in this harem, Concubine Cui Gui is not the queen, but she has already taken charge of the six palaces.

But Concubine Cui Gui really loved her from the bottom of her heart, even more than she loved her own child.

Only because Concubine Cui Gui was six years younger than her mother Cui Yuran, Cui Yuran almost single-handedly raised Concubine Cui Gui, until Cui Yuran got married and left home, the two sisters were completely separated.

This kind of elder sister's feeling of becoming a mother is naturally incomparable to others, and Xie Wanqing's appearance mostly follows Cui Yuran, so Concubine Cui loves Xie Wanqing even more.

Seeing that Xie Wanqing's eyes turned red, Concubine Cui Gui was startled, and took her hand distressedly and asked, "Oh, who bullied us Wan'er? Did you suffer any grievances? Tell your aunt quickly !"

Xie Wanqing just shook her head, suppressing her grief, the person she was most sorry for in her previous life was this aunt in front of her, if she hadn't been confused, she wouldn't have fallen into someone else's trap in the end.

"Auntie, Wan'er just hasn't seen you for several months, and I miss you very much. No one bullies me!" Xie Wanqing adjusted her mood and smiled.

Concubine Cui Gui is not so easy to be deceived, she asked with an unhappy face, "Tell the truth to my aunt, have you been wronged at home? Otherwise, with your temperament, you will never make red eyes in front of me!"

Xie Wanqing thought to herself, she really can't hide anything from this delicate aunt.

Xie Wanqing had no choice but to sigh, and said: "To tell my aunt, Wan'er is indeed a bit difficult at home, but they don't dare to bully me openly! Instead, they beat around the bush and tried to hurt me!"

"Is that bitch from the Liu family?" Concubine Cui asked, frowning.

Xie Wanqing sighed, nodded, and said: "I used to think she was a good person, but I never expected that I would be deceived!"

"Silly boy, how many times has your brother told you not to get close to that woman, but you just don't listen. Can your own brother harm you? Fortunately, you understand before it's too late. Since that woman wants to harm you, we naturally You can't tolerate her, and it's easy to let her die!"

Concubine Cui Guifei's words were a little bit more murderous, which was the bearing of a high-ranking person that Xie Wanqing had never seen before.

Concubine Cui Gui has always been an amiable and respectable elder in front of her, as gentle and lovely as a mother.

Xie Wanqing shook her head, and said: "To deal with her, you don't need your aunt to do it yourself. I used to be ignorant, but now that I have grown up, I can't tolerate her jumping around. Come tonight, yes Ask for something else!"

Concubine Cui nodded after hearing what Xie Wanqing said earlier, and said: "You really have grown up, so my aunt can rest assured that you will be a princess in the future, if you are still as innocent and ignorant as before, aunt I really worry about you!"

Before she got married in her previous life, she had heard similar words from Concubine Cui Gui, but she didn't take it to heart at that time. She thought that she had so many trump cards that no one could do anything to her.

After Cui Guifei finished speaking, she asked again: "What's the matter with you?"

Xie Wanqing looked around, Concubine Cui Gui immediately understood and asked people to back out.

Xie Wanqing then said: "Auntie, do you still remember the pregnant Aunt Xue in our house?"

"I heard you mention it, what's the matter?" Concubine Cui asked.

Xie Wanqing sighed, and said: "Something happened, last time someone wanted to push her into the water and drown her, but I rescued her, and my grandmother took it seriously and told her not to leave the yard until she gave birth. , and sent away the original people around her, and sent the people around her to serve, and let Su Wen's girl also follow her!"

Concubine Cui frowned, but did not speak.

Xie Wanqing went on to say: "It was fine at first, but for some reason, Aunt Xue's health has become worse and worse recently, she has trouble sleeping at night, she feels drowsy during the day, and she is getting thinner and thinner. He was poisoned, but Su Wen said there was no sign of poisoning!"

"Auntie, you should know that if something happens to Aunt Xue, Wan'er will probably suffer unfair injustice. For a while, I have no idea. I want to ask Auntie if she knows what kind of poison it is, and if there is a solution. ?”

After listening to Xie Wanqing's words, Concubine Cui Guifei was silent for a long time, and said: "It's also fortunate that you came to ask me, if others really don't know what's going on, this is not an ordinary poison!"

"Aunt knows?" Xie Wanqing asked in surprise.

Concubine Cui nodded, and said: "I shouldn't have told you about these private affairs in the harem, but since you have already encountered it, then I will not shy away from it, after all, you may encounter such vicious things in the future , knowing it is good to have a defense!"

Xie Wanqing nodded and said, "Yes, Wan'er remembers it!"

Concubine Cui then said: "That's not long after I entered the palace. Back then, there was Concubine Li Shu who hadn't conceived in the palace for more than ten years, and she suddenly became pregnant. The emperor was very happy because he was so hot, and he doted on the harem for a while. No one can beat it!"

"But the good times didn't last long. Before the baby was born, the symptoms you mentioned appeared. The imperial doctor couldn't find out what was wrong. In the end, she gave birth to a strange baby, and she herself died of dystocia. The emperor decreed not to allow it." Make a statement, and no one will know about this!"

Concubine Cui Gui still had lingering fears when she mentioned this matter.

Xie Wanqing asked: "Auntie, do you know what kind of poison this is?"

"I didn't know about this at the beginning, but by chance, I saved the imperial physician who was protecting Concubine Li Shu's pregnancy. Since then, that imperial physician has become my person, and he also told me about this! "

"It's not that he didn't find out what kind of poison it was back then, but he didn't dare to say it. Once he opened his mouth about a harem battle, he would die, so he had to pretend to be stupid. Even if he was reprimanded, it would be better than losing his family's life!"

"What he told me is that this is a lowering of the head!" Concubine Cui Guifei's expression was terrified, and her tone was kept very low, as if she was afraid of being overheard.

Xie Wanqing lost half of her soul when she heard the word "drop the head". She had heard of this terrible method of harming people before, and always thought it was far away from her, but she never thought it would happen to her!

After the fear subsided, Xie Wanqing gradually calmed down. If it was a head drop, then all she had to do was find an expert to deal with it, but she was very puzzled. The head drop technique is extremely rare in the Central Plains, and it was also banned by the imperial court.

Why did Liu Yuejiao use such vicious means?
