Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 357 Provocation
"If Mr. Qiong likes it, you can just pick it off. Why ask me?" Concubine Cui said after being silent for a while.

Yingying didn't know, but Concubine De knew very well that Concubine Cui Gui was angry.That being the case, she doesn't mind adding more fuel to the fire: "What the concubine sister said is that the emperor loves Qiong nobleman so much now, let alone a tree, even the peach blossoms in the world are not a problem. .”

"Empress De Concubine, you are saying that you are offending the concubine. But out of all the peach blossoms in the world, the concubine only loves this one." Yingying naturally understood Concubine De's hint and followed suit.

Seeing the two singing together, Concubine Cui almost lost control of her temper.She has been so tolerant, but the other party has repeatedly challenged her bottom line.

No, she can't get angry, if she does, she will fall into Concubine De's trick.

After finishing speaking, Yingying brought joy to those around her, and said to Concubine De: "Ms. Concubine De, I want to dig this tree and plant it in Qinfang Palace, what do you think?"

"Very good, as long as you like, you can take all the trees in the imperial garden." Concubine De glanced at Concubine Cui again.

Without waiting for Concubine Cui Gui to respond, Yingying asked Huanxi to call the two stewards of the Imperial Garden.

"You guys, dig out this flower and send it to Qinfang Palace to plant." Yingying rubbed her stomach and signaled the two stewards to start.

Unexpectedly, the two stewards did not do anything.They are also old people in the palace, so they naturally know the origin of this unique peach tree.Look at Concubine Cui Gui's livid face, how dare they make a move.

"Why, you don't listen to Mrs. Qiong?" Concubine De looked at the two stewards, and said coldly, "Be careful when Mrs. Qiong gets angry and hurts the dragon fetus in your stomach, do you want to lose your life?! "

"Yes, the slave will go now." The two stewards dared not bear this charge, and seeing that Concubine Cui Gui didn't speak, they had to go up and dig the roots.

Concubine Cui held back the anger in her heart, and planned to leave, so as not to watch these two perform in front of her.

But Concubine De would never let go of such a good opportunity to block Concubine Cui's whereabouts.On the other side, Yingying also walked in front of her and held her stomach, as if if you dare to leave, I will bump into you.

"I'm not feeling well, so I won't go shopping here with Concubine De and Lady Qiong." Concubine Cui glanced at the peach blossom tree, the roots of which had already been exposed.

Seeing that Concubine Cui Gui was about to leave, Yingying ran to the tree with quick eyes and hands, and fell to the ground without dying!And Concubine De's reaction was also extremely fast, she shouted to the people around: "Come here, quickly help Mrs. Qiong up!"

It's not the case that Concubine Cui Gui left, and it's not the case if she doesn't leave.

Yingying lay on the ground with a painful expression, tremblingly said: "My stomach hurts so much, please don't come here!"

Several palace maids and stewards of the imperial garden were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground.Concubine De was very calm, and said to the two stewards of the imperial garden: "Mr. Qiong seems to have a fetal gas, you go and call the imperial doctor."

"Yes!" The two stewards breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it's none of their business, it's fine.

After the two left, Concubine De asked Zhihuan to call the emperor over, just waiting for a good show.Concubine Cui Gui kept standing in place, but all kinds of thoughts filled her heart.She knew that she might have fallen into the trap of Concubine De again, but she told herself to be calm, she must be calm.

"Imperial concubine, did you push the concubine and leave like this? Although the concubine's status is low, she is still pregnant with a dragon fetus. You don't look at the monk's face, at least you have to look at the Buddha's face!" Yingying's tears As if they didn't want money, they quickly gathered together and dropped on their collars.

Concubine Cui never dreamed that Mrs. Qiong, who seemed weak, would dare to tell such a lie.

"When did I push you? Qionggui, are you slandering me?" Concubine Cui Guihe was not a good-tempered person, but after being framed, she was on the verge of collapse.

Yingying showed fear in her eyes, and replied softly: "Everyone present can prove it. Everyone can see that it is the imperial concubine who pushed the concubine."

"You—" Concubine Cui looked at the people around her, and only after realizing that they were all Concubine De's people did she feel cold hands and feet.Only when she came to the imperial garden, would she not bring any maids by her side.

It seems that there must be Concubine De's eyeliner in her palace, which allowed Concubine De to take advantage of this opportunity to frame her so quickly.And this kind of framing doesn't even need to be arranged, just with this one mouth, you can turn black into white, and life into death.Because in front of the emperor, the evidence is not important, whoever he is willing to believe is innocent.

Yingying said lightly again: "Empress Cui Gui, are you unwilling to admit it? The concubines are not as noble as the empress, but the dragon fetus in the belly is innocent, and I hope the empress can give me a way out."

"Your name is Yingxue, right?" Concubine Cui Gui changed the subject and couldn't help but sarcastically said, "You really are a person who is as clear as ice and snow. It's just that you are talking nonsense with your eyes open, aren't you afraid that the child in your belly will hear it?"

"No, empress, I beg you to spare my concubine! I really don't know—"

Concubine Cui Gui was stunned for a moment, and she saw Yingying quickly crawled in front of Concubine Cui Gui, grabbing her feet desperately.In this way, there is as much embarrassment as there is.

"What is this doing?"

A male voice came from behind.Concubine Cui Gui felt that her whole body was stiff.

"The concubine (servant) has seen the emperor!"

Xuanyuan Zhen frowned, looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, he couldn't help getting angry for no reason: "Your Majesty Qiong, what are you doing by grabbing Concubine Cui's clothes, what a shame!"

Yingying burst into tears of grievance, and after seeing Xuanyuan Zhen, her voice softened several times: "Your Majesty, if you come later, you won't be able to see your concubines and children."

"Oh?" Xuanyuan Zhen glanced at everyone.

Yingying nodded, with tears still shining in her eyes: "Your Majesty, this concubine's foot seems to be injured."

Seeing Yingying's weak appearance, Xuanyuan Zhen's heart also softened.He walked up to Concubine Cui Gui, stretched out his hand to hug Yingying, and stroked the messy hair on her head: "Stop making trouble."

"Your majesty, you are here, but you have to decide for your concubine." Yingying was put down by Xuanyuan Zhen, but she still hung on Xuanyuan Zhende's body, seeming intimate.

Concubine Cui Gui looked very dazzling, and she was also very favored in the past.

But now, the person who is acting coquettishly and teasing in front of the emperor is no longer her, but the arrogant Qionggui in front of her.

Xuanyuan Zhen was helpless, and looked at Concubine De who had been silent all this time: "Concubine De, since you are here, let me tell you what's going on."

"Back to the emperor, the concubines have nothing to do today, so they took Mrs. Qiong to stroll around the imperial garden. It happened that Mrs. Qiong took a fancy to this peach blossom tree and wanted to transplant it to Qinfang Palace. Who would have thought that the elder sister of the noble concubine appeared suddenly and took Qionggui away? The nobleman pushed it to the ground, what else did you say—"

"What did you say?" Xuanyuan Zhen asked.

Concubine De didn't hesitate anymore: "She said she was going to kill Mrs. Qiong."

"Yes, yes, the imperial concubine said she was going to kill the concubine, and the concubine was terrified. If the concubine died, it would be fine, but the child is innocent." Yingying said softly like a little white rabbit. Looking at Xuanyuan Zhen.

"Cui Guifei, is there such a thing?"

Concubine Cui kept watching the movements between Xuanyuan Zhen and Yingying.She knew Xuanyuan Zhen too well, relying on nobleman Qiong and Concubine De's schemes, she couldn't hide it from him at all.For Xuanyuan Zhen, it was common for women in the palace to be jealous and fight.Whoever he loves and needs is on his side.

At this time, Concubine Cui Gui was extremely calm.

"Back to the emperor, the concubine didn't do it on purpose. She just saw her favorite peach tree being dug up and did something wrong in a fit of anger. But at that time, the concubine really didn't know that the person was Qionggui! If you know, even if you borrow the courage of the courtiers and concubines, the courtiers will not be able to do it!"

Concubine De was a little dumbfounded.She did not expect that Concubine Cui would admit it.According to her plan, Concubine Cui Gui will definitely defend herself, and then make a big fuss.

But this time, Concubine Cui not only did not refute, but also admitted.In other words, the plan she had deployed before was disrupted by Concubine Cui's words.

Even Xuanyuan Zhen knew about Concubine Cui Gui's temper.He looked at Concubine Cui Gui in surprise, and found that he was not familiar with the woman in front of him.

"That is indeed the peach blossom tree that I love the most. Being dug out is as painful as a knife. But I didn't know beforehand that it was Qionggui, so I ask the emperor to punish me!"

When a woman is not protected by a man, she will protect herself more calmly and like a man.Especially Concubine Cui, when Xuanyuan Zhen chose to side with Yingying, she was no longer the Concubine Cui who had no tolerance for sand in her eyes.

Xuanyuan Zhen looked at Concubine Cui Gui, without any emotion in his deep eyes.He did not answer Concubine Cui, but looked at Yingying in his arms: "Xueer, Concubine Cui has already explained, what do you want to do?"

"Even though the imperial concubine didn't intend to harm the concubine, if that person is not a concubine but someone else, shouldn't he be killed?" Yingying flashed her eyes.

Concubine Cui wanted to say yes.But rationality told her that at such times, she had to control her temper.

Xuanyuan Zhen's expression suddenly became indifferent. He looked at Yingying. Although his voice was still so gentle, he could catch a trace of indifference.

"Xue'er, how do you want to punish Concubine Cui?"

Yingying could easily feel Xuanyuan Zhen's changing mood, so she raised a smile: "Fortunately, there is no serious health problem, so I will not be punished. It's just that the concubine hopes that the imperial concubine will be more merciful to the servants in the future."

Since Concubine Cui takes advance as retreat, she wants to retreat even more.

Xuanyuan Zhen laughed loudly and said: "Xue'er is indeed a generalist. It's just Concubine Cui, you are a role model for the women in the harem, but you are so reckless, I will punish you to think about it for three months, how about it?"

"The concubine is willing, and the concubine thanks the emperor." Concubine Cui bowed to salute, but her eyes became more fearless.She has already smelled something of De Fei's intentions, but she will not let the other party succeed.

"Okay, back off."

"Yes."
