Chapter 185

But if the queen knew about it, she would definitely not take it into consideration, so unless Concubine Mu was desperate, she would not easily tell the queen the news.It's just that once the other party finds out that his identity may be exposed, he will probably ignore it. If so, she can also confirm the other party's identity.

"The second prince was called away by Concubine Mu early this morning, but he has already returned!" Mo Hong came back from the outside with a trace of doubt on his face.Now that the second prince has come back, what does Concubine Mu want to do, is it really just to thank the master?
Su Qingning still closed her eyes halfway, without any reaction at all, but although there was still a little worry in the brows, it had faded away.Seeing her like this, several people gradually felt at ease, so it seems that they must have made arrangements in advance.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, there was a soft sedan chair to take people to Concubine Mu's palace, but as soon as she arrived at the gate, she saw that the queen's sedan chair had also arrived.Seeing this situation, Su Qingning frowned slightly, then quickly went up to meet her, and said with a smile: "Why is my aunt here? Qingning thought that Concubine Mu only invited Qingning alone!"

Bai Yunruo pulled her to his side affectionately, and when he was not paying attention, he said in a low voice: "This Concubine Mu has never had a good relationship with me. I heard that she specially invited you over, so I am not at ease. If something happens to you, you No one can run away from Prince Yang's Mansion, Bai Family and Ben Gong, I'm afraid she must have made an idea of ​​this and wants to use you to bring down Ben Gong!"

Su Qingning's gaze flashed, and she couldn't help feeling a little bit of guard in her heart. Before, she wasn't sure whether the person in front of her would unite with Concubine Mu, but now she was sure that the two had joined forces. It seemed that today was not a good day.

"Well, thank you aunt, Qingning listens to aunt everything!" Although Su Qingning's thoughts were turned, Su Qingning looked at Bai Yunruo with gratitude on her face, and entered the hall with her.There was no one else in the hall, only Concubine Mu.Seeing Bai Yunruo, Concubine Mu's expression froze for a moment, and she hurriedly stepped forward to salute, a trace of annoyance flashed quickly in her eyes, as if she had a faint sense of depression that someone had ruined a good thing.

"Hehe, why, sister Mu doesn't welcome me?" Bai Yunruo sat down with her support, and said with a chuckle: "You and I have been sisters for many years. Although the relationship is not close, it is still reasonable. If my sister If you are dissatisfied with me, you can tell me that you must not use it on the younger generation. Qingning is a simple-minded girl, if she does something out of the ordinary, her sister will not look good at that time, will she?" After finishing speaking, she patted Su Qingning hands to reassure her.

Concubine Mu's complexion changed slightly, and she forced a smile and said, "What did the queen sister say? It's too late for my sister to like this girl Qingning. How could she hurt her? Someone must be gossiping, sister, don't believe it!" Said After waving his hand, he asked people to remove all the dishes on the table, and said in a somewhat embarrassed way: "This dish is a bit cold, my sister ordered someone to make it again, my sister and girl Qingning will wait for a while!"

Su Qingning glanced at the delicacies on the table, her expression was extremely calm, as if she hadn't noticed anything.The person who served the dishes didn't know whether it was carelessness or something happened. One of the bowls of pork knuckle and lotus heart soup splashed a little, and some bubbles appeared when it fell on the ground. This situation made the expressions of several people change again.

Bai Yunruo glanced at the pale Concubine Mu with a half-smile, then looked at Su Qingning who was a little frightened, and patted her hand again to reassure her, then said with a light smile: "I want to stay here Here to eat with my sister, my sister should not refuse!"

Concubine Mu shook her head again and again, forced a smile and said: "This is my sister's honor, please hurry up!" Then she whispered a few words to the people around her, and then asked someone to serve food again.

Bai Yunruo looked at Su Qingning with a smile and said, "I have the same preferences as you, so eat with me, so as not to spoil your stomach!" Then he added a bowl of soup for her, and a bowl for himself, which meant that It is to tell her that as long as it is the dish she likes, the other party will definitely not dare to poison it.

Su Qingning sneered in her heart, and the gratitude in her eyes became stronger, but when she looked at the edge of the bowl, she couldn't help but flash a little coldness.

It took a long time to eat a meal, and when all the food was removed, Bai Yunruo excused himself and left alone.After she left, the expression on Concubine Mu's face suddenly changed, and she said with a trace of mockery: "Even if you get foreign aid, so what, this concubine will definitely achieve her goal today, and the Ruyang Palace is not far from decline! Back then King Ruyang is extremely intelligent, but it's a pity that his daughter didn't learn half of him!" After speaking, his expression showed a bit of ferocity.

Su Qingning narrowed her eyes slightly, and after a few breaths, she said calmly: "Didn't the empress find this foreign aid? Now that it's like this, is the empress still hiding it?"

As soon as this remark came out, Concubine Mu's face changed drastically, and then she slowly calmed down, walked up to her ear and whispered: "You want to set up this concubine, but unfortunately this concubine won't accept your trick! You can think whatever you want. This concubine might as well tell you that you have been poisoned at this moment, and your maids are outside, they can't save you, then this concubine can say that all of this was done voluntarily by you!" After speaking, she stepped back and sat down to the main room. The seat above looked at her with a smile.

Su Qingning looked in the direction of the inner room, tapped the table lightly, and said with a light smile: "I think the second prince should still be in the palace, the one who was sent out was just you looking for someone to pretend to be, just to avoid me After all, if the second prince was in your palace, I would not dare to come here rashly. Afterwards, you asked the queen to come over and sing the oboe with you. The purpose was to trick me into drinking the poisoned soup. When I became poisoned, you Then you can disguise the scene as we are having sex in your palace, and then the empress will bring a group of people over. If this is the case, the second prince and I will definitely get married. The revelation made the Ruyang Palace a joke of the Great Wu Kingdom in an instant, and then you left the palace with the help of the Queen, am I right?"

Concubine Mu's face changed again, her eyes were full of shock, she thought she had done everything right, how did the other party figure it out.

The corner of Su Qingning's mouth curled up with a trace of sarcasm, "There are indeed no loopholes in the performance of the two of you, but you have forgotten that the Queen has always wanted to deal with me, otherwise she would not agree to join forces with you, so she would rather watch me get poisoned, You won't save me either, this is the most unusual part, and it makes me sure that you are united!" Then he sighed slightly and said, "You are so naive, you actually thought that the Queen's Aunt would help you, Mu Palace has always been her favorite place. One of the taboo forces, even though you seem to have taken refuge in the crown prince, she never believed it in her heart. The reason why I dare to drink it is because I am sure, compared to me now, getting rid of you is more urgent!"

Concubine Mu's face turned pale in an instant. It's not that she didn't consider this point, but she just had a little luck in her heart.Although she didn't understand why the empress wanted to deal with the Ruyang Palace, she knew that the empress had always had such thoughts, and she agreed so readily this time, was it just for the sake of scheming?
"You don't need to provoke dissension, my concubine won't believe you!" Although Bai Yunruo is likely to deal with her secretly, but now that he has cooperated, he must not mess up on his own.

Su Qingning's expression didn't change, she just looked at her with a sneer and said: "Since you want me to be intimate with the second prince, then the original medicine must have been aphrodisiac, and now I don't feel the slightest difference, presumably the medicine has been replaced , although I don't know what the queen is planning, but I'm not the only one who is unlucky, I'm afraid you are too!" After speaking, she slowly stood up and looked down at her.

Concubine Mu's expression changed again, she should have reacted now, could it be that all of this was lying to her before, and Bai Yunruo had someone replace the poisonous bowl long ago?

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and the little eunuch next to Emperor Qingfeng came in with a group of people, glanced at the two of them, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness , Your Majesty's Imperial Study Room invites you, please go with this servant!" Although the words were polite, there was not much respect.

In such a situation, Concubine Mu's complexion couldn't help but darken, and the panic in her heart grew a little bit stronger.Then, seeing Su Qingning's mocking gaze, the uneasiness increased a little.

The two went to the imperial study room, and saw the second prince, Wu Changfeng, who was supposed to be lying in the Concubine Mu Palace, standing there at the moment, and standing beside the emperor was Bai Yunruo who had just left.In addition to them, there are people from Mu Palace, Jun Luochen, the Eighth Prince and some court officials.

At this moment, Su Qingning's feet suddenly went limp, and if it wasn't for someone blocking her, she would have fallen to the ground.Such a situation made Concubine Mu panic again. Could it be that all of this was really Bai Yunruo's plan, just to use Su Qingning to deal with her.

"What's the matter, it's just for a meal, could it be that you've taken poison?" Seeing that Su Qingning's face was pale, and Concubine Mu's face was also ugly, Emperor Qingfeng looked a little puzzled.To others, these words seemed to be just ordinary questions, but it made Concubine Mu even more believe that the matter had been used by the empress in a disguised form. Thinking of this, she knelt down with a plop and said, "Your Majesty, today's concubine is hosting a banquet for the Ruyang Palace. Princess Qingning, I didn't expect the Queen's sister to go. I don't know what happened. After finishing the meal, the concubine felt uncomfortable. Now it seems that the princess of Qingning is the same. If someone makes a move, please ask the emperor Rong Chenqie to go back and check!"

This remark was extremely skillful, although it hinted everywhere that it was the queen who poisoned her, but there was not a single sentence that fully mentioned it.It's just that Bai Yunruo's complexion instantly became ugly.

The two of them had just cooperated, and the other party even told her about the relationship between the second prince and Ruyang Palace. Could it be that they were all lies, and the purpose was actually to bring her down!Thinking of it this way, my heart became more determined.The two of them don't interact much on weekdays, and the other party really has such a secret, how could it be possible to tell her?It seems she has been tricked.
