royal princess

Chapter 261 Is this a declaration of war? 2
Si Jin was really curious about this.

In addition, what made Si Jin more curious was what happened to Ling Guogong's mansion, so that the empress had to risk offending herself, the only concubine with a child, to send someone to the emperor.

Although she dare not say that she knows the queen very well, after a few years, she can also know that the queen is not the kind of person who is easy to change.

Therefore, the root cause is still on the side of Ling Guogong's mansion.

What happened?
The queen put on the phoenix robe, sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked at her face carefully. The more days she spent in the palace, the less she knew the face in the mirror.After looking carefully, a graceful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then he stood up, looked at Aunt Tong and said, "Let's go."

"Mistress, are you really going to see the Empress Dowager?" Aunt Tong was a little anxious, "You might as well think about it again, some things will be difficult to turn back if you take this step."

"Does this palace have any choice?" The queen stared out of the window absently, "In this position, many things are out of my control."

"But... Concubine Xi's side..." Aunt Tong sighed.

"Even if it's difficult for Concubine Xi to accept it for a while, she will always figure it out. She will be grateful to me in the future." The queen said affirmatively, "There has never been a single person in this harem who can stay by the emperor's side all the time. At this time, she If she can take one step, she will be able to go one step further in the future."

"I'm afraid that Concubine Xi won't understand, and she will separate from you, that would be bad."

"...Really?" The queen took a long time to breathe a sigh of relief, "That's okay, as long as the final victory is in my hands, that's enough."

Aunt Tong wanted to persuade her again, but the queen had already left, so she had to hurry up.

The imperial concubine made several plans with Cao Guogong's mansion, and finally brought the queen empress in. I'm afraid there will be real chaos in this palace.

Aunt Tong didn't know who was right and who was wrong in this matter, the emperor's methods towards the family became more and more tough, and even the situation with the empress became more and more difficult.

Who is right and who is wrong?

Aunt Tong didn't know either.

After a night of wind and rain, tomorrow morning is not spring.

Concubine Xian's birthday eyes made Si Jin feel a huge threat, and this kind of threat was not something that she could easily face in the past.At this birthday banquet, after the queen said those words, she knew that the most fundamental change in the matter was that Xiao Qi's continuous persecution and schemes against the aristocratic family finally forced these people to put aside their past grievances and gather together again , to plan countermeasures together.

And obviously, the first resistance they encountered with this strategy was themselves.

Because she dominated the emperor, the daughters of these aristocratic families, from empresses and concubines to Li Yunxiu and Wang Jingyun, had no chance to get close to the emperor.There is no way to maintain the closest relationship with the royal family by gaining the emperor's favor and giving birth to an heir, which makes them feel a huge threat.

Under the imperial power, what is the fastest shortcut to maintain the interests of the family?
That is to give birth to a prince with the blood of the family, and there is no such thing as more effective.

In the thinking of the ancients, marriage is a very important thing. This is the best shortcut to get what you want as quickly as possible.

However, she happened to be herself, she stood on this single-plank bridge, and she became the only way for everyone to get close to the emperor.

Therefore, Si Jin knew that she had become a stumbling block that others had to remove.

At this moment, she could even feel the feeling from the depths of her heart, not fear, fear, or hesitation, but a kind of relief that finally arrived at this moment.

The two sides who are still facing each other have already imagined the scene of fighting countless times, but they just couldn't meet face to face.

Now, it's finally here, and I'm just excited.

There is also a faint relief from the bottom of my heart.

It was already midnight when Xiao Qi came back, and Si Jin was sitting under the lamp with her clothes on, waiting for him.Yu Qin had already fallen asleep and was sent back to his own dormitory. Under the light, Si Jin was holding a volume of books and was slightly lost in thought. He raised his head when he heard the voice, and saw Xiao Qi walking in with a tired face.

She slowly stood up and went to meet him, someone brought water in for him to freshen up, and she gave him a change of clothes, and said, "I asked the small kitchen to keep supper, why don't you eat some?" It must be time for something big to happen.

Xiao Qi took off the big clothes outside, went directly to the clean room to freshen up, and when he came out, his complexion was better than before.The kang table is full of late-night snacks, including noodle soup and wontons, all freshly delivered.

After sitting down, I ate a bowl of small wontons, stuffed with shrimps, full of delicious flavor.He breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling a lot more comfortable in his heart, looked at Si Jin and then smiled, "You don't have to wait for me in the future, you should rest first."

"It happened that I couldn't fall asleep, and I didn't wait for it on purpose." In fact, the two have lived together for many years, and the food clock will definitely be affected by each other.Si Jin didn't realize that staying up all night was uncomfortable, she could take a nap during the day, and squint her eyes to rest when she was tired in the afternoon, unlike Xiao Qi who had to squeeze out time for rest, and might not be able to have it yet.

Xiao Qi smiled, knowing that she said this on purpose to reassure him, anyway, even if she was told to go to bed early, she might not be obedient, so he simply didn't say anything.

After the two had supper, Si Jin hesitated whether to tell her what the queen said.After such a hesitation, Xiao Qi noticed it, grabbed her hand, and pulled her to lean on the soft pillow together, "Speak directly if you have something to say, it's really not your nature to hesitate like this." Jealous He was so crisp and quick at the time, refusing to take a step back and delay for a quarter of an hour.

Si Jin felt ashamed and embarrassing at Xiao Qi's meaningful eyes. This person really forgets jealousy in everything. Can you be more serious?
Forget it, the two of them didn't need to go around in circles when they were talking, so she said directly, "I'm fine, it's just that there will be excitement around you."

Xiao Qi was taken aback, did it really have something to do with jealousy?He just said that casually, so evil?
Seeing Xiao Qi's bewildered expression, Si Jin couldn't help laughing, leaned over and moved to his side, leaned on his shoulder, and told what happened today.Trying not to have her own sensual coloring, and finally concluded very seriously: "I was wondering if you have a lot of resistance in the court now. I really don't care, anyway, these people want to touch me. There has to be someone with an IQ who has calculated me, so I'm worried... you, can you handle it?"

Xiao Qi's expression changed as soon as he heard it, and he looked at Si Jin, "It's not a big deal, what do you think is a big deal? In my eyes, there is nothing more important than you and your children. big heart?"

He was so angry that he was about to smoke, so it was really scary to say that a person who usually looks stable became crazy!

Si Jin was so nonchalant, he almost didn't come up in a breath, and looked at her very seriously, "You, don't mess around!"

"I...how can I mess around?" It's so wronged, she didn't do anything?
Xiao Qi looked at Si Jin, feeling a little complicated.You can say that she is smart. A smart person can know her current situation from the queen's words, and she can guess a lot. Her political acumen is really amazing.However, being in the harem really worried him to death. You must know that this is the place where people kill without blood.

Quiet, when Xiao Qi grabbed Si Jin, he said word by word: "Don't underestimate the people in this harem. If others want your life, they don't necessarily need to do it yourself. There are thousands of people in this harem. People, if I just mention a few of them to harm you, so what if I kill their nine clans? Even if the real killer knows it is her, but there is no evidence, I have no choice. Holding a knife, can you understand that feeling of powerlessness?"

Si Jin's expression changed slightly at this moment, she understood what Xiao Qi meant, but he wanted to say that these people were blatantly attacking her, and Xiao Qi still had no reason to deal with them.

This is tantamount to killing people in a blatant manner, and he can still get away with it. There are countless palace men in the harem who can take the blame.

For example, the palace servants around Qiao Lingyi.

For example, the palace people around Dou Fangyi.

The real culprit behind the scenes is still alive, and the one who died will always be the insignificant court lady.

Seeing Xiao Qi's ashen expression, she hurriedly said: "I'll remember, don't worry, I won't be careless."

Xiao Qi looked at Si Jin, but he still couldn't feel at ease after getting her guarantee, so he looked at her and said, "I'll give you He Shiyi."

"Ah?" Si Jin was taken aback, "Isn't that very good?" Although He Shiyi also worked by her side for a short period of time, it was just a temporary loan. This time, listening to Xiao Qi's intentions, it seemed that he came directly to her. Yihexuan is here.

"There's nothing wrong with it. Chen De'an can't straighten up in front of the queen, noble concubine and others, but it's different from the times. Let him follow you. If there is any crisis, he is much more useful than Chen De'an."

Si Jin is embarrassing, this is the majesty of a former imperial eunuch, is that what you mean?

"Will it be too ostentatious?"

"Zhang Yang? What will you do if the queen really sends nobleman Wang to me?"

Si Jin fell silent, well, she just accepted it, but she didn't know if He Shiyi would feel wronged.Working in front of a concubine in Yihexuan is not as beautiful as being in front of the imperial court.

"Okay then, just let him come." Si Jin nodded and let go, "But the Empress will arrange someone for you, what should you do?"

A pair of eyes stared at Xiao Qi to see how he would answer!

Xiao Qi looked at Si Jin with a half-smile, "What do you think?"

"Then how would I know?" Si Jin rolled her eyes, showing disdain.

Xiao Qi smiled uncontrollably, "You're like this, don't spoil my daughter."

"You haven't said anything yet, what will happen to you?" Si Jin asked while grabbing her hand, she would never let him go easily.
