The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 21
Ran Yunmo walked out from behind the veil, bowed briefly to the Empress Dowager and said: "It really is stunning, no wonder the Emperor is fascinated by him, but I don't know how credible this Zhao Yuning's words are."

The Empress Dowager sneered and said: "It's good to be a little credible, if she dares to cheat in secret, the Ai family can kill her at any time."

Ran Yunmo lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then frowned and said: "But according to my concubine's observation, although Zhao Yuning looked flustered just now, her reply was neat and clear, and she was very organized. If she was hiding something, it might be difficult to catch her. flaw."

"Hmph, even if she hides everything well and leaves no loopholes, the Ai family can still create something out of nothing and let her fly into disaster." The empress dowager said in a cold voice.

A smile finally appeared on Ran Yunmo's originally dignified face and said: "Mother is wise, my son understands, and the minister there will also leave first." While saying this, Ran Yunmo squatted down and bowed to leave.

The empress dowager waved her hand slowly and said, "Well, you can go."

Gu Xinning left the Palace of Compassion and Ning, her nervousness eased immediately, she took a long breath, and hurried back to the Hall of Qinzheng, at this time Ye Junyan had already returned to the Hall of Qinzheng, reviewing the memorial.

Gu Xinning's mood was still not calm, and her hair was a bit disheveled because of the constant kowtowing. After seeing Ye Junyan, she only saluted slightly, asked her well, and went back to the inner room.

Seeing Gu Xinning returning to the room with a different expression, Ye Junyan put down the memorial in his hand, followed behind, and also entered the inner room.

At this time, Gu Xinning was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, asking Nianse to help tidy up her somewhat disheveled hair.Seeing Ye Junyan coming in, Nian Se squatted down and saluted, "Greetings to Lord Long Live."

Ye Junyan nodded and said, "Well, you go down first."

Nian Se cast a glance at Gu Xinning and replied, "But Madam."

Ye Junyan said impatiently: "I let you go down, with me here, what are you afraid of?"

Seeing this, Gu Xinning was worried that Ye Junyan would punish Nian Se, so she hurriedly said, "Nian Se, go down first, I will call you if something happens."

"Yes, this servant will leave." Nian Se saluted Ye Junyan and Gu Xinning, then bowed her head and went out.

After watching Nian Se close the door and leave, Ye Junyan looked at Gu Xinning, and said in a cold voice: "What did the empress dowager tell you?"

Gu Xinning made an expression that wanted to reminisce and said: "I didn't say anything, I just said that I wanted to see my concubine. The Empress Dowager and Sister Yun are very kind."

"Concubine Yun is here?" Ye Junyan asked slightly surprised.

"Well, yes, concubine Yun's sister is very nice. The concubine was rude for a while and made the empress dowager angry. It was concubine Yun who helped me out. The sister also asked the concubine's younger brother about his illness and asked me to ask for help. Your majesty, let the imperial doctor." Gu Xinning said lightly.

Ye Junyan was getting impatient with Gu Xinning's innocuous reply, and said with a more serious face, "Aside from caring about your family, he said something else."

"Others? Nothing else." Gu Xinning looked confused, thinking hard and said, "Oh, by the way, after Concubine Yun left, the empress dowager and the concubine said that the empress had been left vacant for too long. State system, let the courtiers and concubines persuade the emperor more on weekdays, so that he can be established as soon as possible."

Ye Junyan snorted coldly and asked, "Who can the Empress Dowager want me to make queen?"

Gu Xinning pretended to be innocent and said: "The empress dowager didn't say anything, but the concubine thinks that Sister Yun is the most suitable queen. Sister Yun is not only talented and beautiful, but also gentle and virtuous, considerate and generous. With a family background like the prime minister, no one is more suitable for the position of empress than Concubine Yun."

Gu Xinning deliberately mentioned Prime Minister Ran in her words, just to stimulate Ye Junyan. Ran Hai's family is powerful, and it has not been a day. Even more effective than Ye Junyan, although after Ye Junyan was registered, it gradually took back some of the political power that was released by the former emperor, but the real power is still in the hands of Ran Hai and his henchmen.

Many times, even if Ye Junyan is unwilling, he can only accept Ran Hai's proposal, and Ran Hai's younger sister is still the current empress dowager, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the Ran family has power over the world.Originally, there was Gu Jingzhou, who held the military power in the world, who could contend against him, but unfortunately he was also framed by Ran Hai in the end, and his head was left in a different place.

After Gu Jingzhou, almost no one dared to fight against Ran Hai. Although he used Du Wangshan heavily, it was a pity that Du Wangshan was too strong and upright, and he was very capable in public affairs, but he didn't know how to deal with political battles in the dark. If it wasn't for Ye Junyan to protect him I'm afraid I don't know how many times I was killed by Ran Hai.

The reason why Ye Junyan never made a queen is because he knows that with the empress dowager and Ran Hai around, no matter who she chooses as queen, she won't be able to sit for long, unless Ran Yunmo is the queen. If we don't stand up, we must not allow the power of the Ran family to expand infinitely.Otherwise, one day, the royal family will be emptied by the Ran family.

Gu Xinning's words have undoubtedly achieved their goal. After Ye Junyan heard Concubine Yun's name, he was already a little unhappy. Now that he heard Ran Hai's name again, Ye Junyan stared at Gu Xinning sharply and coldly. eyes and said: "Do you think Concubine Yun is suitable, or the Empress Dowager?"

Seeing Ye Jun's displeasure, Gu Xinning was secretly happy in her heart, but she said in a panic, "Your Majesty, your eyes are so scary, did your concubine say something wrong?" Gu Xinning knelt down quickly as she said this He begged for mercy: "The concubine has offended the emperor somewhere, please forgive me."

Ye Junyan leaned over and lifted Gu Xinning's jaw, squeezed the corners of Gu Xinning's mouth with his fingers, distorting Gu Xinning's face, fixed his eyes on Gu Xinning, and said in a cold and depressing voice: "I'm asking you, what do you think? Concubine Yun is suitable, or the Empress Dowager thinks Concubine Yun is suitable."

Gu Xinning said in panic, "Your Majesty's question means that you already have the answer in your heart, so you don't need to ask your concubine any more."

Ye Junyan moved his face closer to Gu Xinning, and continued to say coldly, "I just want to ask you now."

Gu Xinning knew that it was time to say the empress dowager's words, so she timidly said: "The emperor's lesson is the empress dowager's intention, but the concubine really thinks that only sister Yun is the most suitable for the empress seat."

Ye Jun let go of the hand that was pinching Gu Xinning's chin, stood up and said, "That's what she told you, tell the truth."

Gu Xinning rubbed her chin that hurt from being pinched by Ye Junyan, and said with tears in her voice: "I dare not say it, but if I say it, the Empress Dowager will definitely not let me go."

Ye Jun said: "Do you think I will let you go? Don't worry, only you and I know about this matter. If you are safe and obedient, I will keep you safe."

Gu Xinning made a hesitant look on purpose, and replied in a timid voice: "The empress dowager said that as long as she is here, the queen's seat can only be reserved for concubine Yun, and let the concubines mention more in front of the emperor. At the same time, most of them are good words for Concubine Yun."

Ye Junyan snorted coldly: "You agreed?"

Gu Xinning sobbed and said: "The situation was critical at that time, and the situation was like fire and water. How could my concubine dare to go against the Queen Mother's will?"

Ye Junyan seemed to be talking to himself or deliberately speaking to Gu Xining: "Hmph, but I want to say that anyone can be a queen, except Concubine Yun, you can secretly tell the empress dowager what I said. "

Gu Xinning hurriedly said: "The concubine dare not."

"Don't dare to be the best." Ye Junyan said as he grabbed Gu Xinning's slender wrist, pulled her up from the ground and hugged her in his arms, his mouth was already pressed against Gu Xinning's cherry lips, and the other hand couldn't tolerate Gu Xinning's rejection, and began to savagely She tore at the clothes on Gu Xinning's body, as if she wanted to turn the endless depression and anger into desire to vent.

After resisting weakly for a few times, Gu Xinning finally gave up and let Ye Junyan violently vent her desire on her body.Two lines of clear tears flowed down Gu Xinning's eyes slowly. For revenge, she could endure the humiliation, and she could make false promises. As long as she could get revenge, she didn't care about anything.

She believes that the more hardships she suffers, the more determined she will be to take revenge.

Ye Junyan had vented enough and fell asleep. Looking at Ye Junyan who was sleeping soundly, Gu Xin's watery eyes were filled with endless coldness and hatred.

But she didn't make a move. In Gu Xinning's eyes, death is not terrible. The most terrible thing is the despair of family ruin and death, and she wants Ye Junyan to taste this feeling.

Unknowingly, it was dawn, Gu Xinning was still asleep, and Ye Junyan got up and left Qinzheng Hall at some point.Nian Se was tidying up the chaotic room lightly, her movements were very light and slow, for fear of waking up Gu Xinning.

The tears on Gu Xinning's face had already dried up. Gu Xinning, who was sleeping soundly, had a calm and soft face, shed her cowardly pretense and coldness full of hatred, her serene face, taking advantage of her already glamorous face, made her even more imaginative. To pity and love, Gu Xinning at this time is more like a beautiful wife of an ordinary family, but this beautiful wife is so beautiful, so beautiful that the world praises her, and she is so beautiful that women are jealous.

At noon, while serving Gu Xinning's meal, Nian Se said: "One end is the empress dowager, and the other end is the emperor. The empress is between them, isn't it just playing with fire?"

Gu Xinning had already briefly talked about yesterday's events with Nian Se, seeing Nian Se's worried expression, Gu Xinning smiled and said: "Don't be afraid of Nian Se, sister, I have a sense of propriety, and even if something happens, it will be determined by my palace. As far as I'm concerned, not many people have hurt me."

Nian Se nodded and said: "Well, the lady is not afraid of her abilities, so what is the lady going to do next?"

Gu Xinning pondered for a moment and said: "Now Du Xinlan is temporarily stupid, don't think about it, Ran Yunmo is the head of the four concubines, with the support of the Empress Dowager and Ran Hai, there is still one Qi concubine who doesn't know the details, wait for the palace to find a chance Let’s talk about this concubine Qi.”

While talking, the eunuch who guards the gate outside the hall suddenly shouted: "Concubine Yun is here, and this servant greets Concubine Yun."

Hearing the sound, Nianse frowned, and said in a low voice, "What is she doing here? I didn't see my sister just yesterday."

Gu Xinning said coldly: "Hmph, of course it's the weasel who is paying New Year's greetings to the chicken, but it's fine if you don't come, you follow me out to greet him."
