Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 322
Concubine Cui Gui couldn't even stay overnight at Cui's house, so she was driven back by Mrs. Cui. Mrs. Cui seemed to have a lot of scruples in her heart, but she couldn't tell the whole story.

Some things, after all, can not be said too clearly.

When Concubine Cui returned to the palace, she was obviously a little tired. That night, the emperor went to Concubine Cui's place. Concubine Cui was a little surprised, but she still graciously picked her up.

"The concubine greets His Majesty—" Concubine Cui Gui knelt down, thinking back in the past, she never had to perform such a grand ceremony in front of the emperor, but now...

Just sigh that today is different from the past.

Xuanyuan Zhen stepped forward to support Concubine Cui, "My concubine, please stand up!"

When facing Xuanyuan Zhen, Concubine Cui still felt a little uncomfortable. After all, these days, the emperor seldom came to her palace, and most of the time he stayed with Concubine De. The superior position was firmly pressed on Concubine Cui Gui's head.

Xuanyuan Zhen sighed with Concubine Cui before asking, "How is Mrs. Cui's health?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern!" Concubine Cui Gui replied, "Mother, she is an old man, it's just a small typhoid fever, it's fine!"

"That's right..." Xuanyuan Zhen thought for a moment, "I'm still thinking about it, but I want to send an imperial doctor to investigate..."

There is a lot of deep meaning in these words, if in the past, any trouble in the Cui family would have alarmed the imperial physician, but now, there is no such treatment.

"You don't need it, Your Majesty." Concubine Cui leaned forward and said, "Mother has recovered a lot after taking the medicine, no, even the courtiers and concubines have been driven back."

Xuanyuan Zhen let out a cold snort in his throat, "That's good, then I..." As he spoke, Xuanyuan Zhen brushed Concubine Cui's shoulder with his hand, but Concubine Cui gave way to her, and Concubine Cui leaned down again, Said: "The emperor forgives the sin, the concubine is not feeling well today, I am afraid that it will be difficult to serve your majesty, the emperor still... let's go to the sister of the concubine De!"

As soon as these words came out, Xuanyuan Zhen's face immediately pulled down, and his fists hidden in the sleeves of his robes were slightly clenched, "In this case, the noble concubine should take a good rest!"

As if trying to hold back an unspeakable anger, Xuanyuan shook his robe and left, until his figure completely disappeared in front of Concubine Cui, and Concubine Cui collapsed on the ground.

"Lock it!" Concubine Cui Gui ordered.

In the Northern Territory, Xiangyang Prince's Mansion, Cui Wenxiao has not been able to get out of bed since the miscarriage, and today he finally has some energy to walk around in the ground.

Princess Xiangyang gave her many things, but in Cui Wenxiao's view, these things were worthless.

In the past, she even naively thought that there was still one person worthy of respect in the Xiangyang Palace, and that was Princess Xiangyang, but now, she didn't think so. There is no difference between Lei and his son.

"Concubine Shizi, it's warm here, sit here!" Ling'er wiped the stone stool and helped Cui Wenxiao to sit down.

Cui Wenxiao stretched out his hands and beat his sore shoulders, let out a clear panting breath, and stared intently at the red bricks and green tiles in the distance, his eyes were obviously a little empty, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

"Concubine Shizi, what do you want to eat, I will prepare it for you!" Ling'er asked cautiously.

However, Cui Wenxiao just shook his head, and suddenly asked: "What is your son doing these two days?"

Ling'er shook her head: "Ling'er doesn't know what happened before, Ling'er is incompetent, so she can't inquire so much, but it seems to say that the old prince is back, it seems that something important is about to happen."

"My lord?" Cui Wenxiao's heart sank. Situ Yue, who hadn't shown his face before, suddenly came back at this time. Thinking about it, something life-or-death is really about to happen.

"It's too cold." Cui Wenxiao wrapped the clothes around his body, "Go back!"

In the front hall, Situ Lei and his son were secretly discussing something with a group of generals.

Situ Yue sat at the main seat and asked, "Lei Er, do you have news from your end? How many people did Xuanyuan Ming bring?"

Situ Lei looked sideways, and glanced at one of his young generals. The young general took a step forward and replied, "Return to the prince, return to the prince, and my subordinates found out that Xuanyuan Ming led a total of [-] pioneers. The big troops behind us..." The young general paused, "The subordinates haven't got the exact news yet!"

"There are [-] leading troops—" Situ Yue said in a low voice, as if he was trying to think about something, "How many elite soldiers do we have?"

"Less than fifty thousand!" One of the teenagers replied.

Situ Lei suddenly shouted, "But our soldiers and horses are all elite soldiers who have been raised for many years. From what my son knows about Xuanyuan Ming, he is not good at using soldiers at all. No matter how many people he has in his hand, my son can still give him a little bit of money." There are no children left!"

Although Situ Lei's tone was loud, his words were not without reason. Although the soldiers and horses brought by Xuanyuan Ming could deter them temporarily, Xuanyuan Ming was a waste after all.

"If Xuanyuan Jue is the leader of the army, then it's a different matter!" Situ Yue raised his chin thoughtfully as he spoke.

"Father means..."

"Oh, this good show is finally about to begin." Situ Yue snorted coldly, "Lei Er, take me to meet him!"

"Xuanyuan Jue?" Situ Lei asked, and suddenly felt that he was asking too much, "Yes, father, come with me!"

In the secret room, Xuanyuan Jue's situation was as usual, Situ Yue stood at the small window outside the iron wall, looked in and sighed: "He is really calm!"

"Since he entered this place, he has always been like this!" The attendant at the side responded, "Will the lord want to go in?"

"Open the door for me!"

"Yes--"

In the secret room, Xuanyuan Jue was covered in shackles, but there was no scar on his body. It seemed that Situ Yue had specially ordered him to restrain Xuanyuan Jue and not to hurt Xuanyuan Jue in the slightest.

No one knows what medicine is sold in his gourd.

Using Xuanyuan Jue's life and death to threaten the Emperor Shengjing to abdicate?Obviously it's not that simple, and there seems to be some bigger conspiracy hidden behind it.

It's just that even Situ Lei is not so clear about this conspiracy.

Situ Lei wanted to come in with Situ Yue, but was stopped by Situ Yue, "Lei'er, you go out and wait, I have a good word with King Jing!"

"This..." Situ Lei was about to retort, but Situ Yue stared back, "Yes, my son is guarding outside!"

The door of the secret room was closed again in an instant, and the room fell into darkness again, except for a small crystal lamp emitting a faint light.

Xuanyuan Jue opened his eyes, looked at Situ Yue in front of him, and said with a light smile: "The King of Xiangyang has finally shown his face, and he detained me for so long..."

Situ Yue responded to Xuanyuan Jue with the same contemptuous laugh, then calmly picked up the jug of wine in front of him, filled two small wine glasses each, and handed one of the wine glasses to Xuanyuan Jue.

Xuanyuan Jue took the wine glass without hesitation and drank it down.

Situ Yue laughed "haha" twice, clapped his hands and said, "King Jing is really brave, I admire him!"

"What do you admire?" Xuanyuan Jue sneered: "Could it be that I'm still worried that King Xiangyang will poison this drink?"

King Xiangyang nodded, and also drank the wine in the glass, "Okay, very good, this is the King Jing I know, and that Xuanyuanming is really not the same person!"

Xuanyuan Jue obviously felt the different meaning in Situ Yue's words, but deliberately pretended not to understand, and asked: "The king of Xiangyang is willing to come to see me this time, because I am afraid that I am not important to your plan. Is it useless? Why... the King of Xiangyang wants to send me on the road personally?"

"How could it be?" Situ Yue shook his head, and filled his cup again, "I came here just to have a good talk with King Jing, you see, if I leave you in my city of Xiangyang, I will hurt you a little bit. cent?"

"Heh." Xuanyuan Jue raised his hand, and the chain on his hand made a crisp sound, "The way King Xiangyang treats guests is really special!"

"King Jing, please don't get me wrong. A special person like King Jing should be treated specially, right?" Situ Yue laughed more and more recklessly, "It's just that, now, I suddenly don't want to keep you."

"Why..." Xuanyuan Jue raised his eyes.

"Because I suddenly have some sympathy for you!" Situ Yue made a strange emphasis on purpose, "If that's the case, I can still do something to you, then I really have a heart of stone!"

"When has King Xiangyang never been hard-hearted?" Xuanyuan Jue sarcastically said, "Could it be that I can't threaten the emperor, and suddenly feel sorry for me?"

"King Jing is really smart—"

Xuanyuan Jue lowered his head and drank another glass of wine, "He sent troops?"

"Yes!"

"Who did you send?"

"Xuanyuan Ming!" Situ Yue seemed to have suddenly found a tacit understanding with Xuanyuan Jue, "How about it, does King Jing consider..."

"Considering what?"

"You're a smart man, you should know what I'm talking about."

"How many people did he bring?"

"The first [-], the backup may not be less than [-]..." Situ Yue said.

Xuanyuan Jue put down his wine glass and looked at Situ Yue seriously, "You don't have to bother the King of Xiangyang. If you surrender now, you may still have a chance."

"No..." Situ Yue denied, "There is still one person who can help me."

"Wouldn't it be me that King Xiangyang said?"

"Aside from King Jing, is there a second choice?"

Xuanyuan Jue laughed loudly and said, "King Xiangyang is really confident, you are so sure that I will help you? Don't forget, my surname is Xuanyuan too!"

"But this 'Xuanyuan' of yours is no match for Xuanyuan Ming!" Situ Yue stopped playing around with Xuanyuan Jue, and simply opened the window to speak frankly, "You and I are on the same front!"

"Hahaha!" Xuanyuan Jue's face was twitching with laughter, inexplicably feeling that Situ Yue was a little naive, but there was a hint of desolation in this smile, "You are right, I have no second way to go, just like Like you, there is no second choice except me!"

"Smart people are good!" Situ Yue pressed Xuanyuan Jue's shoulder, "Come here!" Situ Yue called out, "Untie King Jing!"
