The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 24 Provocation
The next day, early in the morning, Lu Liqi came to Zhongcui Palace, seeing the little eunuchs busily removing the decorations, Lu Liqi smiled inwardly, but with a puzzled look on her face, she asked the eunuch what happened , why the new one had to be demolished, the little eunuch was afraid of being punished for talking nonsense, so he only said that Concubine Yun was in a bad mood and ordered someone to dismantle it.

Lu Liqi sneered in her heart, thinking, the bitch's movements are really fast, she was so eager to cover up, it's a good thing she came early.When he came to Ran Yunmo's room, he said hypocritically, "Sister, what's the matter? The palace has just been decorated, so why are they all going to be demolished?"

Ran Yun Mopi smiled bluntly and said: "It's nothing, it's just annoying to look at, and I think it's still pleasing to the eye."

Lu Liqi smiled and said: "That's right, new lovers are the best for people, and old objects are more spiritual."

Ran Yunmo heard Lu Liqi's off-screen voice, knew that she was here to see her jokes, felt unhappy, and was in a very bad mood, so she said coldly: "My sister seems to have never come to my palace so early. It's that muscle that's wrong."

Lu Liqi smiled and said: "My sister heard that the emperor came to my sister's place yesterday, so I came here specially to congratulate my sister."

"Hmph, Lu Liqi, don't think that being the same concubine means you can be the same size. I am the head of the four concubines, and I can deal with you at any time." Ran Yunmo was brought up to the point of pain, knowing that Lu Liqi was purely looking for jokes, so she couldn't help but He flew into a rage and scolded Lu Liqi.

Lu Liqi pretended to be afraid and said: "Oh sister, don't be angry, I really came here to congratulate my sister, there is no other meaning, my sister is so angry, could it be that the emperor didn't come last night?"

Lu Liqi asked questions knowingly, and kept provoking Ran Yunmo with words. After hearing Lu Liqi's words, Ran Yunmo's already angry breathing began to be heavy, and she held her slender hand tightly.

Seeing this, Lu Liqi couldn't help but feel complacent, but she sighed and said: "Oh, it's no wonder that my sister is angry, any Concubine Ning is too disrespectful to her, how can I say that my sister is also the head of the four concubines, and she treats her on weekdays Well, how about her, she actually did the thing of playing tricks on her sister by going back on her word."

Ran Yun's mouth was full of anger and his head was turned away, as if he was too lazy to talk to Lu Liqi.But Lu Liqi chased after her and continued: "You must not let her go easily, let her know who is the head of the four concubines, if my sister wants to deal with her, my sister will definitely help you."

Ran Yunmo knew that Lu Liqi was intentionally fanning the flames, but it was a pity that Ran Yunmo was not Du Xinlan after all, and would not be made violent by just a few words.So he suppressed the extreme anger in his heart, and said coldly: "What did my sister say, we are all the emperor's concubines, and we all want to serve the emperor well. As long as the emperor is happy, it doesn't matter who serves him. Why? Who will be dealt with and who will not be dealt with?"

Lu Liqi sneered in her heart and thought, 'Hmph, the boiled duck depends on how long you can last it. ’ Said in his mouth: "I didn't expect my sister to be so magnanimous, and she doesn't even care about the queen's seat. My sister is not as broad-minded as my sister."

Ran Yunmo said coldly: "Queen? Humph, Zhao Yuning is still very early."

Lu Liqi smiled slyly: "Yes, now that the empress dowager is protecting my sister, Concubine Ning has no chance, but once she is favored by the Holy Grace, one day she will be pregnant with a dragon seed, and the empress dowager may not be able to say anything at that time."

Ran Yunmo was extremely annoyed in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she still said coldly: "It's so easy to get pregnant, since my sister cares so much, why don't my sister think of a way to deal with Zhao Yuning."

Lu Liqi smiled and said: "My sister doesn't know how to plan, but my sister knows it. Prime Minister Ran is old enough to plan for the country, so he must be full of tricks, why not?"

Ran Yunmo scolded in her heart, 'What a bitch, you actually want to drag daddy into the water, just dreaming'.

After all, Ran Yunmo has a deep foundation. To shake Ran Yunmo, one must first weaken Ran Hai. At the same time, Lu Liqi also knew that the emperor wanted to get rid of Ran Hai early on. Clans are everywhere, if there is no convincing evidence to deal with Ran Hai easily, it will definitely cause an uproar.

If Ran Hai is pulled into the water, once Ran Yunmo's plot is exposed, Ran Hai will definitely be implicated.Once Ran Hai fell, and Ran Yunmo's actions were exposed, he would definitely be indifferent by the emperor, and then he would no longer be able to pose a threat to Lu Liqi.

Although Ran Yunmo has not completely seen through Lu Liqi's treacherous schemes for the time being, but she also knows the seriousness, so she interrupted Lu Liqi and said: "The state affairs are heavy, and the prime minister has to help the emperor deal with the government affairs. The affairs of the harem are left to the people in the harem." Let's deal with it."

Hearing what Ran Yunmo said, the corners of Lu Liqi's mouth hooked up and said, "Even if you can't pull Ran Hai into the water, at least you can't hold on for long, I will wait and see."While thinking about it, she stood up and said goodbye to Ran Yunmo with the occasional excuse in the palace.

After watching Lu Liqi leave, Ran Yunmo picked up a cup on the table and threw it on the ground vigorously. With a crisp 'pop', the cup was broken into several pieces and scattered all over the room. She said to herself in a cold tone: "Lu Liqi! You want me and Zhao Yuning to lose out in the fight, and you just reap the benefits? Hmph, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and Zhao Yuning must get rid of it, but you don't even want to pick it up. Cheap."

Lu Liqi said that there was something in the palace and she wanted to go back to the palace, but after leaving the Zhongcui Palace, she walked all the way in the direction of Qinzheng Hall. Lu Hao, Minister of the Ministry of War, is a well-rounded man, and he has everything he can do. Lu Liqi obviously inherited it well. Lu Hao's character.

Zhao Yuning and Nian Se were chatting in the Hall of Qinzheng, and Nian Se asked Gu Xinning, "Mother, Concubine Yun has the support of the Empress Dowager, so it's too risky to go against her first, why not choose Concubine Qi first."

Gu Xinning raised the corner of her mouth and said quietly: "Lu Liqi is nothing to be afraid of. It's too easy to deal with. Ran Yunmo is better than Lu Liqi in terms of family background and scheming. Dealing with Lu Liqi first will raise Ran Yunmo's vigilance."

Nian Se seemed to have some understanding and said: "Your servant understands, the empress is going to catch you by surprise when Concubine Yun still has a half-knowledge about you."

Gu Xinning laughed and said, "Little Ser, you are really getting smarter."

Nian Se stomped her feet shyly and said, "Your Majesty, you cancel her again."

At this time, a eunuch who guarded the gate shouted from outside the hall: "Concubine Qi is here, please greet Concubine Qi."

Gu Xinning smiled and said to her mother-in-law: "Look, you really can't talk about people, who will come, go, follow me out to meet you."

Concubine Qi has a graceful figure, she walks with great charm, and she is full of charm, Gu Xinning couldn't help scolding "Sexy Fox" in her heart

While thinking, Gu Xinning went up to greet her and said with a smile on her face, "My sister rarely comes to Qinzheng Hall, do you miss my sister today?"

Lu Liqi smiled charmingly and said: "That's right, I haven't seen my sister for several days, and I'm really worried about it."

Gu Xinning welcomed Lu Liqi into the room with a smile and said: "My younger sister is also thinking about my elder sister, and was just about to go to Oasis Palace to visit my elder sister, so my elder sister came first."

After Lu Liqi sat down, she stretched out her hand to hold Gu Xinning and sat beside her and said with concern on her face: "Sister, sister heard that there were lanterns and festoons in Concubine Yun's palace yesterday, and she said that the emperor was going, but the emperor didn't go. It’s all on you, so you have to be more careful in the future.”

Gu Xinning knew that Lu Liqi wanted to win her over, so she pretended to be dazed and said: "Yesterday, I blamed my sister. I agreed to Sister Concubine Yun, but in the end I didn't persuade the emperor, which made Sister Yun lose face. I'm going to apologize now."

Lu Liqi said with concern: "Don't go now, Concubine Yun is at the beginning, whoever goes will suffer, I just went to condolences, and was scolded by her." If you come to take care of Xin Ning, you will only be scolded if you go.

Lu Liqi's face was kind, but Gu Xinning knew that Lu Liqi was just trying to win her over, but it was also in her favor, because she didn't really want to appease Ran Yunmo, she was not afraid of Ran Yunmo's revenge, and Ran Yunmo was Ran Hai Gu Xinning's daughter is someone who must be dealt with.

If something happened to Ran Yunmo, Ran Hai would be heartbroken, and Gu Xinning wanted to watch Ran Hai suffer until he died.So she said to Lu Liqi: "Sister Qi has visited Concubine Yun, is she angry with my sister?"

Lu Liqi sighed and said: "Oh, my sister thinks about it, and she treats me coldly, not to mention my sister, it's like trying to tear my sister apart." Lu Liqi deliberately exaggerated.

Gu Xinning said in panic, "Then what should I do, my sister must save me."

Lu Liqi said: "Sister, don't be afraid, you and I are sisters, I will definitely help you if something happens."

After a while of exchanging pleasantries, Lu Liqi got up to say goodbye again, and left the Palace of Qinzheng. This time, Lu Liqi really went back to Ganquan Palace.

Since August of the third year of Emperor Chenghui, the south-central area of ​​Zhaoxuan Kingdom has experienced continuous monthly rainfall, causing frequent floods and flooding the country for thousands of miles. In Shizhou and counties, countless houses collapsed, people and animals were submerged, tens of thousands of people were killed and injured, and millions of disaster victims fled everywhere, and some people with unpredictable intentions gathered people as robbers, forming mobs, burning, killing and looting everywhere. , Said that he would rush into the capital to seize food.

The tribes in southern Xinjiang who have always been in opposition to Zhaoxuan State are also ready to move, wanting to take advantage of natural disasters and man-made disasters, and take advantage of the turmoil in Zhaoxuan State.For a time, everyone in the court was in danger. Emperor Chenghui strengthened his military preparations to resist internal and external troubles, but at the same time, he was concerned about the disaster situation of the people and planned to conduct a private visit to the disaster-stricken areas to understand the real situation.

On the extremely majestic court hall, Emperor Chenghui, Ye Junyan, sat on the dragon chair, wearing a dragon robe, crowned and majestic, with a graceful demeanor, just like a heavenly man.

Lin Shanhai, the chief eunuch, was standing on the side of the dragon seat, and issued an order on behalf of the emperor: "The emperor said that the rain for months and the clearing of the sand and breaking the embankment are disasters from God. When disasters come from the sky, there must be people who do not repair their affairs. I feel God's will." , I want to go to inspect it in person, while I am away, all the big and small government affairs will be discussed and handled by Ran Hai and Du Wangshan."

Du Wangshan stepped forward and saluted: "At this moment, the victims of disasters are rioting everywhere, and the crowd is raging. It may be wrong for the emperor to drive out at this time."

Emperor Cheng Hui said: "I have understood the sincere heart of Du Qing's family, but all the people in the world are my people, and I want to see what kind of life my people are living now. You and Ran Cheng Correspondingly support each other, and if there is an urgent report in case of a major event, you can send eight hundred miles of urgent and encrypted documents to me."

"Yes."
