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

Chapter 885
Xiao Xiangzi hurriedly responded, and retreated, "Yes, this servant will tell Xiao Yinzi to prepare well."

The next time is to wait patiently, Yun Lan dropped a piece, and said with a slight smile: "The servant has already lost, the empress played this game of chess today very smoothly, and she is about to win a big victory."

However, Qingchen's expression was not so relaxed. With his long and slender fingers, he steadily dropped a black jade chess piece, and said without emotion: "Until the end, I never talk about winning or losing lightly, but I always With determination to win."

Near noon, Chang Xi, who went out to inquire about the news, came back sweating profusely and said, "Madam, something happened. The sedan chair with the wishful knot on it was ignited and exploded by firecrackers outside the gate of the Su residence. Yinyu...she was on the spot." Just, he was blown to death..."

The moment he came in, Qingchen leaned slightly and clenched the handkerchief tightly, staring at Chang Xi nervously, until he finished speaking, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat back and asked, "Where is Jinxiu?" , she should be fine, right?"

Chang Xi replied softly: "The sedan chair that Jinxiu was sitting in was in front, so she first entered the Su residence safe and sound, but what happened, the Su residence is in chaos now, sister Jinxiu is afraid that Concubine Li will have another Other shady tricks, I was a little worried, saying that I would protect Jinxin secretly, and when I came back at night, I asked the servant to tell the empress that on the way, a bride once threw a poisonous hollow silver thread into her sedan chair. Fortunately, sister Jinxiu has quick eyesight and quick hands, so she kicked the aroma ball before the poison in the ball ignited."

Qingchen ordered without hesitation: "Go and tell her, kill without mercy!"

Chang Xi hurriedly responded, then turned around and hurriedly sent the message.

Yun Lan thought for a while, got up and poured her a cup of tea, and said softly, "The bride should have been killed in the first place. As expected, Concubine Li had made sufficient preparations. It's just that the empress wanted to kill her, not just because she was afraid of her. It will be bad for Jin Xin, and you want to protect Ye Changzai, right?"

Qingchen said with a cold expression: "Concubine Li is cunning, I dare not say that I am completely sure of what will happen next, but it is fine for me to control it, and I don't want to cause any further complications."

Yun Lan nodded and said: "What the empress said is that although Xi Niang wanted to harm Jin Xin, she threw the poisonous smoke ball into Yin Yu's sedan chair. If she bites back at that time, she will not be able to be a witness , but it will cause trouble for the empress. More importantly, if the matter of the poisonous needle is brought up, Concubine Li will chase whoever put the explosives to the end, which will affect the empress's plan. We don't mention the matter of the poisonous needle , as long as the explosives are planted on Concubine Li, it will be able to protect Ye Changzai from getting involved."

Qingchen glanced at her appreciatively, and jokingly said: "No matter what, you can always see clearly in the shortest possible time. I'm really glad that the Ministry of Internal Affairs appointed you to come to my side at that time. If you assist me now If the person in question is the Queen or Concubine Li, then wouldn't I have another formidable enemy?"

Yun Lan shook her head calmly, "If it wasn't for your empress, this servant would really want to be a handyman in the Library Pavilion for the rest of her life. This servant also feels sorry for the emperor's love for your empress, so I agreed to him."

Qingchen asked in surprise: "Could it be that your coming to my palace was not arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"Of course not. When the late emperor was alive, the servants and the father-in-law in charge of the palace were quite friendly, so after the late emperor passed away, the servants asked to go to the library, and they readily agreed." With a gentle smile, he stroked a silver hairpin on his sideburns, and continued: "Later, the emperor heard that the empress met a servant girl in the imperial garden. At that time, although I was not familiar with the empress, but I also met the empress at the emperor's enthronement ceremony, knew where the emperor was concerned, and knew that the emperor really loved the empress, so I promised the emperor that I would serve the empress with all my heart."

When I met Yun Lan in the imperial garden, only Ye Hanyu and the two maids beside her knew about it. If Ye Hanyu hadn't told the emperor, then the people around her must have leaked it to the emperor. Jinxiu has always been calm, so she probably wouldn't be so talkative, maybe It was Jin Xin who took the initiative to tell the emperor.

Thinking of Jin Xin's jumpy temperament, Qing Chen couldn't help but chuckle, at that time they were living in poverty and helplessness, it was rare to see the emperor pampering her, it would be strange if she didn't ask Xiao Jun for something.

"I always thought it was a coincidence that you came to my side, but I didn't expect that it was the emperor's arrangement." Qingchen couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. This is the case with concubines who have been favored since ancient times. When they are favored, even if they want the moon in the sky, The emperor also wished he could pick it off and give it to her, but once he fell out of favor, everything would become a flower in the mirror of the moon in the water.

That's why Concubine Ning wisely chose power instead of the emperor's favor. As long as she can stand upright, even if the emperor is not close to her, he will never be able to ignore her.

Qingchen turned her head to look at the clock leak in the corner, it was almost noon, since she had already received the news, presumably Concubine Li already knew what happened, presumably someone from the emperor would send her to confront her soon.

It was only a cup of tea, and sure enough, the little five sons in front of the imperial court came and said: "Chenfei empress, the emperor has called you to the imperial study room for questioning."

Qingchen got up and stroked the folds of his clothes, without asking any further questions, he walked out with Yun Lan with a calm expression.Walking to the gate of Duanyang Palace, just happened to meet Xiao Yinzi talking back and forth in person. In front of Xiao Wuzi, some words naturally cannot be heard. Xiao Yinzi thought about it, bowed beside her and said: "The slave sends my regards to the empress. The slave has already carefully modified the jade article that the empress asked the slave to remake. It really is a jade that cannot be cut into a piece. After the 'carving' with sharp knives and fine needles, it really looks much more pleasing to the eye. In addition, the servants also rebuilt the pair of bead flowers that the empress didn't like before, so she reluctantly kept them, and the preservation made the empress satisfied."

The little fifth son looked back at Qingchen, saw her face was calm without any disturbance, and said indifferently while walking while holding Yunlan's hand: "You have always done things safely, so I can rest assured if you say so. There is nothing wrong with you here , you step back first."

"Yes, the slave will leave."

Xiao Yinzi bowed and retreated to the side of the road, Yun Lan passed by him, and smiled knowingly, "Jade and pearl flowers are nothing, but Xiao Yinzi is getting smarter and smarter."

Qingchen naturally knew what he was talking about, so she was more confident.Glancing inadvertently, he saw a spider weaving a web under the lush branches and leaves of an evergreen tree. The web was weaving denser and bigger, as if once a prey was caught in the net, it would never be able to escape.

She set up a net to hunt, she waited for this day for a long time, and endured it for a long time.
