The poisonous concubine of the most favored strikes

Chapter 43 The Big Tree Without Branches

Liu Shi didn't dare to take it seriously, and gradually let go of the uneasiness in her heart. It seemed that Hui Er was right.

Su Qingning smiled slightly and said: "I didn't expect Madam to have this ability, but Qingning can see that Madam should be a person who doesn't like to socialize. It should be the reason for coming here this time?"

Liu Shi was slightly startled, but she still answered truthfully: "The concubine didn't understand what the princess meant, but fortunately she came here after being reminded by a junior. The junior said that the princess would definitely notice the abnormality of the concubine. Just answer it truthfully!"

There was a hint of admiration in Su Qingning's eyes, it seems that there are still one or two smart people in Yushi's mansion.

"Also, that junior also said that if I see the princess, I would ask my concubine to bring a word to the princess, which is considered to be a repayment for the princess's help!" Mrs. Liu was a little fearful, but seeing that her previous guess was correct, she was a little bit more courageous. Bigger.

"Oh?" Su Qingning's curiosity was completely aroused, and it was interesting that the other party wanted to offset the feeling of help with just one sentence!
Seeing that she wasn't angry, Mrs. Liu said respectfully: "What the younger generation asked my concubine to carry is that the reason why a big tree is a big tree is because it shows its strong trunk and dense branches and leaves, so it is admired by people. It removes or hides the trunk, branches and leaves, and it is no different from a grass, and anyone can remove it!" After speaking, she carefully looked at the person in the main seat, she didn't understand what this sentence meant , I can't help feeling a little worried.

Su Qingning's face slowly sank. The other party compared the Ruyang Palace to a big tree. The trunk is the power of the Ruyang Palace itself, and the branches and leaves represent the courtiers and people who support the Ruyang Palace. She didn't understand the power of the palace itself, so naturally she couldn't take it over, and those who supported Ruyang Palace had no contact with them.

Today's Ruyang Palace is like a big tree without trunks and branches. It has reached the point where everyone can do it. She has many troubles now. The root cause is that the current Ruyang Palace is too weak. , is to prop up the palace again.

After her rebirth, she spent most of her time thinking about how to save the palace from being destroyed, but she did not investigate the reason. Although these words did not work for the time being, they opened another door for her, allowing her to have With new ideas, maybe after a while, her situation can change a lot.

"Come here, take the jasper plum blossom hairpin that my mother gave me and give it to Mrs. Yushi, and take some cloth jewelry from the warehouse and send it to me!" The light in Su Qingning's eyes gradually disappeared, and she said with a chuckle: "This After all, Qing Ning has been taught, if you have the opportunity, bring your juniors to Qing Ning to get to know, Qing Ning is quite curious about this person, if Madam is free in the future, you can come often!"

That person has a very thorough view of the situation of Ruyang Prince's Mansion, so he must not be an ordinary person. It would be a joy if such a person can be brought under the flag.

Liu Shi was overjoyed, but in her heart she admired Hui Er's ability even more. With the words of the princess, life must be easier in the future, so she hurriedly stood up to thank her.

Su Qingning waved her hand, the other party's words were enough for her to thank her, and even though she was still sitting in the hall, her heart was already warmed up, thinking that maybe it was time to move around.

Seeing that the people in the chair had lost their interest, Mrs. Liu found an excuse and retreated. After returning to the mansion, she said what Hui Er taught her, and sure enough, she saw Yu Shi Qian Song come in. After leaving her yard, she asked carefully about the tone and attitude of the princess today, and when she came out, she sent a lot of things over.

The slaves who survived in the mansion were all human beings, and they could see some clues. Suddenly, the rumors that Mrs. Liu was favored gradually spread in Yushi's mansion.

After leaving the Liu family, Su Qingning went into the study and made a list, all of which were ministers who had a good relationship with the palace. After the list was completed, Su Qingning sent someone to call Su Haoxuan and the butler, etc. After going through the list again, someone prepared a generous gift and drove to a mansion not far away.

The state of Wu has been established for hundreds of years, and there are many royal families. Although these mansions cannot be compared with Ruyang Prince's Mansion and Zhongyonghou Mansion, they are also extremely influential in Wu State. Among these royal families, Chen Wang's Mansion is second to none. Wang Nai is the younger brother of Emperor Qingfeng, the current emperor. Back then, the former emperor intended to pass the throne to King Chen, but it was a pity that King Chen had no intention of governing, so he voluntarily gave up the right to inherit the throne and became an idle prince.However, after all, the first emperor favored him more. Although he didn't let him be the emperor, he handed over the military talisman in his hand. No matter who becomes the emperor in the end, there is no way to shake his position.

Chen Wang Wu Tianchen was more than ten years older than Ru Yang King, but he became close friends with Ru Yang King. Before Ru Yang King passed away, the two often drank and chatted together, talking about poetry and painting, so happy.

Also because of this reason, she is also very familiar with this Uncle Chen Wang. After Ru Yang Wang's accident, Chen Wang went to the palace to see her, but at that time, she was only concerned about being sad and missed such a good opportunity for nothing.Now that King Ruyang is not here, if she wants to support the entire palace and win over his father's diehard loyalists again, then this King Chen is the best entry point.

The distance from Ruyang Prince's Mansion to Chen Prince's Mansion is not far away, and it was only half an hour in the past. Su Qingning half-closed her eyes, and put the past aside, slightly sighing in her heart. If Wu Yuqi died of illness, it would be difficult for Wu Yuqi to deal with her.She vaguely remembered that the current King Chen had always been in good health, but he died of illness suddenly for some reason, and now that he was reborn, she must keep her eyes open to find out what was going on.

After the carriage stopped, Su Qingning walked down with the support of Chun Yi and the other two, her eyes fell on the three big characters of Chen Wang Mansion, she frowned slightly, this was the first time she entered here alone, and she was always accompanied by her parents before , never thought about what would happen after she entered, but now she was a little worried, not knowing whether she would be pleasantly surprised or troubled!
After she went in, someone went in to report, and then led her into the garden.I saw colorful flowers blooming in front of me, and butterflies of various colors danced among the flowers, and a few of them stopped to rest on the flowers from time to time.And among the flowers there was an old man in gray, dressed in very ordinary clothes, with a pair of scissors in his hand, trimming the dead branches from time to time.These butterflies seemed to be familiar with him. From time to time, a few of them flew on his body, and a bolder one stayed directly on his hand.

The old man didn't seem to notice it, he was still concentrating on pruning the flower garden, and didn't notice how many people around him.

Seeing that he hadn't responded, the person in charge of the notification was about to step forward and shout, but was stopped by Su Qingning at the side.Judging from the old man's gimmicks and movements, it must be like this often on weekdays. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be so familiar. Therefore, the other party did not deliberately snub her, but because he was too focused. In that case, it doesn't matter if she waits a while.

Time passed quickly, half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, the old man stopped what he was doing, wiped his sweat, and turned around.Wei Wei was a little surprised and said: "Girl Qingning is here, since she is here, why don't you call me the king?"

Su Qingning smiled and handed over the handkerchief sent by the servants, and said coquettishly: "Seeing that Uncle Chen is so attentive, I don't feel embarrassed to bother you. Qingning asked the maid to make uncle's favorite snacks. It must have been done by now." It's out of the pot, just go and taste it together!"

Wu Tianchen laughed loudly, and then said with some emotion: "You are really a caring girl, but it's a pity that your parents are unlucky, and they are gone before they come to enjoy the blessing!"

Su Qingning's eyes were slightly red, such a familiar tone made her feel a little uncontrollable for a while, but she soon said with dissatisfaction: "Uncle is too bad, Qingning finally got out of the matter of parents, Uncle is here to provoke people again, so people ignore you!"

Seeing her girlish attitude, Wu Tianchen couldn't help smiling, patted her head and said: "You girl, I haven't seen you for a few days, why did you become sharp-tongued, why do you think of coming to Uncle's house today, talking about it?" It’s been almost half a year since I saw you, girl, and you seem to have grown up a lot recently!” Although he seldom asks about court affairs, there is nothing in the capital that can be hidden from him, so he is also very concerned about the situation of the person in front of him. It is very clear.

"Of course I miss Uncle. There are too many flies outside recently. Uncle is safer here. Qingning came here to avoid it!" Su Qingning smiled from the corner of her eyes. This Chen Palace is the most special existence in the entire Wu Kingdom, and rarely participates in world affairs. It's like a piece of paradise. If ordinary people have such rights, it would already be all kinds of calculations. I believe that only the people in front of them can do so freely.

The two of them sat down in the gazebo at the side, and Wu Tianchen glared at her, and said with a smile: "Ghost spirit, it shouldn't be a good thing to come here this time, right? The people in the palace want to pull out the two houses, and now your father Mother is gone, how could they let go of such a good opportunity, you can feel it, but you also know that Uncle never likes to participate in these things, even if your parents are here, my words will still be the same!"

Su Qingning nodded, she had already guessed what the other party would say before she came, presumably unless she was in a life-and-death situation, the person in front of her would not make a move, but she didn't intend to pull him in, she just borrowed his power to draw him in. Others only. "Qing Ning understands that Qing Ning does not dare to bother Uncle about the matter in the palace, but just hopes that Uncle still loves Qing Ning as much as before. Now Qing Ning's parents are both dead, and the only relative has gone to Nanshan College to live in seclusion. Uncle doesn't care about Qing Ning, Qing Ning is too pitiful!"

All she wanted was a statement from the other party, as long as the person in front of her didn't alienate her because of the death of King Ruyang and his wife, that would be enough!
Wu Tianchen opened his mouth, then sighed, patted her head and said, "You girl, don't make yourself so pitiful, if you like to come to Uncle, come here often, an old man like me just happens to have a companion!"
