boudoir

Chapter 265 Using the Queen
She didn't care about the other rooms, and didn't care about the little servants who had been following Qi Yunhao all the time. They only cared about the maids and women who had been called from the mansion since she came in.Before getting married, Qi Yunhao was seldom in the mansion, so even if anyone wants to put someone here, it doesn't make any sense, and they are all men, who mostly serve in the front yard, so they can't be inserted into her inner courtyard. room to come.

After she passed the door, she dialed two women, one surnamed Luo and the other surnamed Bi, one worked as a kitchen errand, and the other worked as a sweeper in the courtyard.Of the eight girls, besides the dead Shuiyun and Feng'er, there are now six more.Liuli thought for a while, called Rui'er over, and said, "Pick out Chunxiang and Dongmei from here, and tell them some news about me, and say, this time I went to the palace, I got some information about Mrs. Tell them the secret. Pretend to have slipped the tongue and tell them this, and tell them not to say it outside."

Rui'er paused and said, "Just tell them two?"

Liu Li said: "The two of them first, you go and do it."

Ruier nodded.Yue Gui said, "Grandma knows Madam's secret?"

Rui'er tapped her head with the roster, and said: "Is there really any secret? Grandma is just trying to lure the snake out of the hole. If these two people have problems, they will naturally tell their real master about it secretly, whether it is Madam or not, we There will be a lot of fun in the future." Liuli used this trick on himself at the beginning, and the facts have proved that the method is simple but effective, if it can't be found out in this way, knowing that Liuli will naturally come up with other strategies.

After telling Rui'er to go down, Liuli waited for news.This is not a very urgent matter, some time to take your time.Moreover, she didn't have much time to spend on it, because General Zhen Guo's wife was injured in the palace, how could anyone who knew it not come to express their care and greetings?First came Lu Muyang and Lou Mingfang, and then the little concubine Qi, Luo Mingzhu and sister Luo side concubine, when they came, naturally other houses came to post.

Therefore, these days, she is already overwhelmed by just answering posts.

Of course, we can't see all of them. In the end, we picked and picked, and the people who had to see each other reached an average of at least two people every day.After receiving Liuli like this for three or four days, she finally couldn't bear it anymore, so she changed it to one per day. In the end, it was still a bit difficult to deal with—pretending to be sick is also a technical job, who can stand it every day?Later, it disappeared altogether, and only asked people to write a post to thank them.However, after all, some people cannot be avoided, such as Shuhua.

Shuhua came when Liuli was crooked on the couch and her bones were sore. She sat on the makeup stool and sneered at her for a long time.Liu Liding couldn't understand her like this, so he threw a walnut at her, and said, "Future uncle and madam, what's going on in the palace?"

Shuhua said: "You still remember to ask about the palace, which shows that you haven't been fooled."

Hearing what she said, Liuli knew something was up, so she sat up and said, "Speak up if you have something to say."

Only then did Shuhua straighten her face, and said, "Duan Wenhui came back after kneeling in Kunqing Palace for three days."

"Three days?" Liuli frowned, "Isn't it seven days? Could it be that someone interceded for her?" She was bored in the house recently, and she really didn't know these things outside. She didn't know what was going on outside or how it had become.

"No one begged for mercy." Shuhua shook her head, "In fact, it was you who was injured by her, and she sabotaged the emperor's eldest grandson's wedding, and even your family, Qi Yunhao, knelt down and begged for severe punishment. No one dared to risk it. At the risk of offending Dingbei Wangfu and Donggong, go and intercede for her."

Since no one pleaded, why was he only punished to kneel for three days?Liu Li said: "Did something happen in the palace again?"

"You know you will think of this as much as I do." Shuhua picked up the tea bowl and said, "Think about when the Queen punished Duan Wenhui that day, Qi Yunhao came in with King Qing, what does that mean?"

Does it mean that Qi Yunhao has publicly gotten close to King Qing?Liuli frowned more and more.The two of them openly appeared side by side in the palace, and Lu Zhao personally put pressure on the queen. At that time, for the queen herself, she could only obey Lu Zhao and Qi Yunhao, but what happened afterwards?The queen must be feeling uncomfortable. She stood up for the wife of General Zhenguo, but instead you came together with her son's political opponents. Can she feel at ease?

But thinking about it calmly now, if there was no Lu Zhao at that time, Qi Yunhao would not have been able to break into the Zhongcui Palace specially set up for female relatives at that time. He wanted to save her and force the queen to punish Duan Wenhui severely. I can only find Lu Zhao!The holy dragon was just recovering, and it was inconvenient to come forward for such a trivial matter, so in the end he could only bring Lu Zhao.

As a result, the fact that he and Lu Zhao formed a party was made public. Thinking about it this way, Lu Zhao's questioning when he refuted Duan Wenhui and put pressure on the queen was probably praying for Yunhao to show that he was not Afraid of queens?

As a queen, of course she doesn't want to let things develop like this, so what should she do?

She suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "You mean, Duan Wenhui took advantage of the Queen's mind?"

Shuhua said: "Don't you think that Duan Wenhui is a scheming person, good at taking advantage of opportunities to achieve her goals? I think the same as you. This time, it is very likely that she made a turnaround in front of the queen."

Liuli paused, her eyes sharpened immediately.

It's not impossible, the empress is old, and the crown prince's position is still not secure, the empress is working so hard to pave the way for him, naturally she is afraid that the dragon body will not be able to hold on when the emperor is uncertain, and if the emperor has If one day really fails, there is no guarantee that King Qing will not forcibly seize the throne!At that time, the power of the scholars and civil officials they have desperately won will not be of much use in front of the real strong army.

When seizing power, what is really important and useful is soldiers and horses!
With Qi Yunhao clearly leaning towards King Qing, the queen will naturally not let them do what they do, even if they can't pull Qi Yunhao over, at least they can destroy the relationship between the two of them!
These seem to have nothing to do with Liuli, but when you think about it carefully, just like Shuhua hopes that Liuli will stay by Qi Yunhao's side, the Queen of course also wants Qi Yunhao to have a prince or someone by her side!

Liuli and Qi Yunhao were married by the Holy Majesty, without the oracle, if she is not divorced by Qi Yunhao, there is basically no hope for her to dissolve this marriage.Right now, Duan Wenhui must have regarded Liuli as her biggest enemy. If she wants to get Qi Yunhao, she needs the Queen's support, and the Queen needs someone like her even more. At this time, she only needs to express her attitude to the Queen. After Hao became the wife, she helped the queen to attach Qi Yunhao to the prince, so the queen had no reason not to support her!

Therefore, at this time, the penalty of kneeling for seven days has changed to three days, which can explain the problem very well!

Liuli clenched her hands involuntarily, it turned out that the struggle between her and Duan Wenhui did not end in Zhongcui Palace!
And her position as the general's wife is also officially facing the possibility of being taken away?

"If this is really the case, then she is even worse than He Yuhua. You have to fight this battle." Shuhua sipped her tea, looked ahead, and said solemnly . "But you don't have to be afraid, I will support you secretly. I can't do anything with the queen and the princess. But the Holy Majesty relies heavily on my father-in-law. In this regard, I may also be able to help when necessary."

Since the Holy Majesty still dotes on Concubine Luo, and is often dissatisfied with the Crown Prince, it naturally means that he and the Empress are actually at odds.To deal with the queen and the prince's party, naturally the only way to deal with it is from the Holy Majesty.Song Ziyu also entered the Imperial Academy now, and was often summoned by the Holy Majesty, so Shuhua's words were naturally somewhat true.

But now she and Qi Yunhao are in this state, and they can't be unified internally, so how can they work together externally?
Liuli pondered for a moment, then turned around and said, "No matter what, I still want to thank you this time."

"I'm not helping you in vain." Shuhua put down the tea and stood up, "You know that I was born with some faults of my grandfather's business, that is, I never do things without reward. I will help you , in fact, there are conditions."
Liuli smiled, pulled her to sit down, and said clearly: "I know. Don't worry, as long as I am the general's wife, I will be worthy of your sister and maintain a relationship with you by marriage."

"No," Shuhua frowned and shook her head, "It's not just this." She paused, pondered for a moment with her fingers, and then continued: "Except for this, I want you to promise me that if Qi Yunhao helps Qing Wang Cheng After the Datong, you will also keep my Song Mansion very safe in the future! You cannot be implicated because of the marriage between the Song Mansion and the East Palace."

"King Qing inherits the Great Order?" Liu Li's eyes flashed, "What do you mean?"

She smiled wryly, and said: "To tell you the truth, I have been in touch with the prince and his wife for a while, and I personally feel that it is really difficult for them to control the entire court with their talents. King Qing already had to pray for Yunhao's help. Everyone has vaguely figured it out. Now it seems that the prince has taken advantage of the right time and place, but in fact, there are many unexpected things in the world. It would be great if the prince can inherit the great rule of the Song family, but if not, I will replace him I and hundreds of people in my family have sought a guarantee! This is the real reason why I am willing to help you, can you promise me?"

Liuli looked at Shuhua, speechless for a long time.She has never seen such a dignified her right now.This woman is more mature than she was when she was fighting for her own future.And Liuli's disapproval of her selfishness and selfishness all along disappeared at this moment.

There is no such thing as getting something for nothing in the world. In the field of interests, only fair trade is the most reliable.Once the generals are successful, no matter which force wins in the end, the defeated party will not escape the day when it will be wiped out by the victor.If King Qing succeeded in seizing power, how could the Song family, as the prince's in-laws, escape the fate of being ransacked and exterminated?
