The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 52 Borrowing the East Wind

"Concubine Ning?" Ye Hanyu looked at Qingchen in surprise, "How do you say that?"

Qingchen looked back at the boy who was working not far away, and walked out not far away holding Ye Hanyu's hand. Seeing that there was no one around, he said in a low voice: "I remember my sister once said that my sister fell from the rockery. When I came down, I saw the corner of a little eunuch's clothes, but Concubine Shu insisted at the time that you were wrong, and the emperor didn't find out who that person was that night. But after only a few days, Concubine Ning found out who the eunuch was. Bad little eunuch, we have nothing to say about her assisting Liu Gong to investigate this matter, but we are afraid that she has ulterior motives."

Ye Hanyu thought for a while, and said in surprise: "You mean that she didn't participate in the matter that Concubine Shu harmed me, but she used it to attack the queen?"

Qingchen helped her into the small pavilion in the imperial garden, sat down with each other, and then said calmly: "Sister, do you still remember the matter of nobleman Xiao? At that time, Concubine Ning and Concubine Shu were almost framed by the Queen, Concubine Shu Afterwards, she just found trouble with Lin Wanyi to vent her anger, but Concubine Ning was not a person to be provoked. She did not take any action. It was not because she was tolerant and did not hold grudges, but was waiting for an opportunity. The emperor entrusted Concubine Ning to investigate the matter of her sister, and she She conveniently planted this matter on Lin Wanyi's head. However, I guess she had discussed this matter with Concubine Shu before doing it. The little eunuch in Lin Wanyi's palace who took the place of the dead ghost must have been arranged by Concubine Shu for Xue Zisheng to be placed next to Lin Wanyi early in the morning. In this way, Concubine Ning can not only not hurt her confidant, but also express her anger for the two of them."

Ye Hanyu nodded while thinking, "What you said makes sense, but who is Xiao Lunzi's scapegoat?"

Qingchen stroked his hair disheveled by the cold wind, stroked the handkerchief in his hand and thought: "Since Concubine Shu never thought that Concubine Ning would have a back move, of course she wouldn't use that little eunuch who served Lin Wanyi to harm you, So the person who really harmed my sister must still be alive."

Ye Hanyu's eyes lit up, and she said urgently: "Then we only need to find that little eunuch, can we be able to testify against Concubine Shu?"

Qingchen shook his head lightly, "It's not easy to find that little eunuch. Although she knows that she belongs to Concubine Shu, she may not really know how to use people from her own palace. Xue Zisheng is in charge of the House of Internal Affairs. He has a lot of little eunuchs available to him, so he doesn't have to use someone close to her master, so even if the matter is revealed, Concubine Shu will not be involved. But I'm just guessing, maybe they didn't think so thoroughly. "

"No, you're right." Ye Hanyu touched the edge of the stone table with her fingers, and said softly: "When she yelled that night, many unfamiliar little father-in-laws did come out, we all know It was her people who harmed me, but now that I think about it, it is her people who are not fake, but they may not be the people around her." Ye Hanyu sighed softly, "After all, we have a weak foundation in this palace and have no one to use. If we can Use your own people to secretly investigate this matter, even if it is not easy to find for a while, you can always find some clues."

Qingchen snorted coldly and said, "Even if I can't find that little eunuch, this time I will definitely bring her down. Even if I can't take her life, I will pull her down from the concubine position."

Ye Hanyu suddenly raised her head to look at her, and asked in surprise: "What does Chen'er say? The emperor has already condemned Lin Wanyi, what method are you going to use to bring down Concubine Shu?"

Qingchen leaned over and whispered for a while, Ye Hanyu's eyes showed a light of surprise, she hurriedly got up and said: "Then let's go find the empress right now."

Qingchen said with a smile: "There's no rush, we'll talk about it in two days, it will be easier to believe."

On the way back, Ye Jieyu asked hesitantly: "Chen'er, why do I feel that the emperor's attitude is a little unclear, he doesn't seem to want anyone to defend Lin Wanyi."

Qingchen said casually: "What's so strange about this? The emperor is afraid of the dictatorship of his relatives. Since he doesn't like the queen, how can he really like Lin Wanyi? I loved her before, but it was just a show for the queen mother. Having a queen in the harem is already very impressive. It's a headache, the emperor doesn't mind at all if Lin Wanyi comes to be this dead ghost."

Ye Hanyu suddenly felt chills in her heart, her voice was weak, and she seemed a little discouraged: "I don't know if the emperor has thought about my feelings? Has he ever really wanted to seek justice for me?"

Qingchen pulled the corner of his mouth shyly, and said indifferently: "I never thought of asking him to help me seek justice, I just treat him as the knife to kill people when everything is ready."

Ye Hanyu was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, as if a cold wind was blowing in through her shirt, she couldn't help shaking her whole body, and said with emotion for a long time: "Only when my heart is cold can I not get hurt. I can't be as calm and rational as you."

Qingchen held the already cold hand stove in his hand, stopped at the fork in the road and said with a smile: "That's because my sister loves the emperor. If there is love, there will be expectations, and then anger, sadness and fear. It is better to be affectionate than ruthless. At least you can't live well." So pale."

"The emperor has feelings for you, why are you so pale?" Ye Hanyu looked up at the sky, held Qingchen's hand and said: "It's getting late, and there's another big snowstorm coming, you are weak, Just go back quickly."

Qingchen comforted her and said, "Sister, don't be angry anymore, just wait for the good news and watch Concubine Shu reap the consequences."

Ye Hanyu's eyes showed a cold light, and she snorted coldly, "Of course I want to watch."

A few days later, Qingchen took Jinxiu to Chengkun Palace to ask to see the queen, and it was Aunt Zheyue who came out to meet her. Aunt Zheyue looked 34 or five years old, her eyes were shrewd, her clothes were simple and elegant, giving people a sense of embarrassment. A refreshing and dry feeling.

Aunt Yue went down the steps with a smile and said, "Your Majesty Wan, Madam said that I was very grateful for Madam Wan's words of help that day, but Madam has been feeling unwell for the past two days and needs to rest. If there is nothing serious, I would like Madam Wan to come back another day."

Qingchen smiled lightly, and said softly: "What Aunt Yue said is that the concubine is being presumptuous. The concubine heard that the mother is not feeling well, so she specially sent a good medicine. If it is too late, I am afraid that the medicine will lose its properties..."

Zheyue is such a smart person, seeing her empty hands, she understood instantly, and said with a smile: "Then please wait a moment, my servant, let me go in and tell you."

Qingchen hurriedly said: "Thank you, Auntie."

After a while, Zheyue came out again, lifted up the big red noren curtain with golden silk phoenix patterns and group blessings in person, and said, "Please, my lord."

Qingchen nodded with a smile, and Aunt Yue also bowed slightly.

In the warm cabinet, the queen was sitting on a golden nanmu phoenix chair covered with bright yellow goose feather cushions, leisurely trimming a pot of moon-red dead leaves in front of her.The house is burning with a rich fragrance of lilies, and the incense burner carved with purple jade and branched lotus is filled with green smoke, and the room is warm and fragrant.

Qingchen brought Jinxiu forward to pay his respects: "Concubines see the Empress, Empress Wan'an."

The queen's face was very haggard. The emperor reprimanded Lin Wanyi for not being able to save Lin Wanyi that day. She was probably a little annoyed, and her complexion was very bad, but she did not lose the manner of the lord of the palace, and said with a slight smile: " Get up and sit down."

"Thank you, empress." Qing Chen sat down on the rosewood chair opposite the empress, and the little maid hurriedly served tea.
