The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 29
Ran Yunmo and Lu Liqi came to Zhongcui Palace together, Ran Yunmo pulled Lu Liqi to sit down and said: "The emperor and Concubine Ning have been out of the palace for a while, I don't know where they are now."

Lu Liqi knew that there was something in Ran Yunmo's words, and said vaguely: "Yes, I don't know what happened to the emperor and the others."

Ran Yunmo seized the opportunity and said: "What does my sister mean when she says how is it? Is it how the disaster is, or how is the relationship between the emperor and Concubine Ning?"

Lu Liqi hurriedly said: "My sister was joking, it is naturally a disaster, the relationship between the emperor and Concubine Ning has always been very good, hasn't it?"

Ran Yun Mopi smiled and said: "Yes, it has always been very good, maybe after returning to the palace this time, Concubine Ning will be the queen."

Lu Liqi smiled reluctantly and said: "How could it be so easy, the Empress Dowager would not agree."

Ran Yunmo sighed and said: "Oh, I'm afraid my sister has been ill for a long time. Didn't you hear that the emperor had a big fight with the empress dowager because of Concubine Ning?"

Lu Liqi pretended not to know: "Ah, there is such a thing?"

Ran Yunmo knew that Lu Liqi was putting on airs, but she didn't point it out, and sighed again: "Oh, now the emperor's whole heart is on Concubine Ning, and even the empress dowager dares to contradict Concubine Ning, sister, tell me, this situation is far from Will it be far behind after the seal?"

Lu Liqi pursed her lips tightly, nodded her head in thought, but did not speak. She didn't know if she was thinking about what was more important, or she was playing sloppy on purpose, and didn't want to change the front.

Ran Yunmo still didn't give up, and took advantage of the situation and continued: "We will be under the pressure of that concubine Ning at that time, look at her face, and listen to her orders, alas."

Lu Liqi frowned and said, "Well, it's true that she can't be the boss. By the way, why not let Ran Cheng put pressure on Zhao Zhongran and let Zhao Zhongran control his daughter."

Seeing that Lu Liqi turned the topic to Ran Hai again, Ran Yunmo cursed in her heart: "Bitch, it's already this time, and you still want to drag my father into the water."

Although Ran Yunmo thought so in her heart, she said with a smile on her lips: "If Mr. Zhao makes any mistakes as an official, the Prime Minister will naturally deal with it in a different way, but Mr. Zhao has always been an honest and prudent official. How can I let my father be dismissed for personal reasons?" Where's the man?"

Lu Liqi still frowned and said: "Oh, it's a pity that my father's official power is weak, and my sister may not be able to help my sister."

Ran Yunmo smiled and said: "Sister, don't belittle yourself. Now that my sister and Concubine Ning are fighting against each other, my sister still has contact with her. As long as my sister can convey some news in the middle."

Lu Liqi thought to herself, "I went around and around, and finally said it." '

While saying: "Oh, so my sister wants to accept me as eyeliner? Isn't there someone in Qinzheng Palace who my sister bought?"

Ran Yunmo was taken aback when she heard the words, and thought, "How did she know that I bought someone in the Palace of Qinzheng?" '

Before she had time to think about it, she said to Lu Liqi: "It seems that my sister is also very well-informed, but there is nothing more than my sister can hear, right?"

Lu Liqi snorted coldly in her heart, thinking that Ran Yunmo just wanted to use the opportunity of my superficial friendship with Concubine Ning to find out some news, but what good would it do me to help Ran Yunmo?The Ran family has great power no matter whether they are in the court or the palace, helping her and directing will further fuel the power and arrogance of the Ran family. After she gets what she wants, she can squeeze me to death like an ant.

Instead of letting the Ran family take over everything, I might as well just help Zhao Yuning, so that people from the Zhao family can fight with people from the Ran family, which is probably a way of balance.

Seeing that Lu Liqi didn't speak, Ran Yunmo thought that Lu Liqi was afraid that if she helped Ran Yunmo, she would harm herself, so she held Lu Liqi's hand and said, "Is my sister afraid that if she suppresses Zhao Yuning, my sister will be able to become a queen, and when the time comes... Bad for my sister?"

Lu Liqi didn't explain much, and asked along the way: "Could it be that my sister can't?"

Ran Yunmo said sincerely: "Of course not, and even if Zhao Yuning is defeated, the emperor may not make me queen. My sister should be able to see that the emperor is actually very jealous of the power of the Ran family, so the emperor has been This is the reason why there is no queen."

What Ran Yunmo said is not only the truth, but also a well-known fact. Since the emperor registered, he has always been wary of the Ran family's infinite prosperity. If the late emperor had not married Ran Yunmo and Ye Junyan when he was alive, Ye Junyan would never have been willing Marrying Ran Hai's daughter, at the same time, without the empress dowager's many inquiries, Ran Yunmo would not be able to be the head of the concubines.

Ran Yunmo told the truth at this time, in fact, she was telling Concubine Qi that she wanted to fight Zhao Yuning because she didn't want Zhao Yuning to continue to be arrogant. At the same time, she also hinted that as long as Zhao Yuning was defeated, Lu Liqi might get a job. Queen's seat,
The sincerity of Ran Yunmo's face made Concubine Qi almost believe Ran Yunmo's sincerity, but Lu Liqi's rationality told herself, "Don't be fooled, this is just a tempting trap. After she defeats Zhao Yuning, follow her." Now it's your turn."

Even though she had such a plan in her heart, Lu Liqi was inconvenient to reject Ran Yunmo's request excessively, lest she would be retaliated by Ran Yunmo. She suddenly felt that she could walk between the two parties, and they would be at odds with each other. , maybe at that time, I really have a chance to stand out.

Thinking of this, Lu Liqi seemed to have made up her mind and said to Ran Yunmo: "Then sister just needs my sister to inquire about the news?"

Seeing that Lu Liqi finally let go, Ran Yunmo quickly smiled and said, "Well, as long as my sister can deliver the news over there in time, it will be fine."

Lu Liqi smiled and said: "Okay, then listen to my sister."

After Lu Liqi left Zhongcui Palace, Ran Yunmo came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and roughly explained the process and content of the conversation with Lu Liqi to the Empress Dowager: "It would be the best if Daddy can finish Zhao Yuning outside, otherwise even if she can come back , she has no other party to rely on in the palace."

The Empress Dowager nodded, and said with a smile: "Well, even if she is Concubine Qi, she is quite sensible, but can she really trust her? What if she is duplicity and pretends to cooperate, but she is playing tricks behind her back?"

Ran Yunmo said: "Probably not. Erchen has already analyzed the seriousness of the matter to her. She is not stupid. It will be beneficial to her if she knows how to do it."

The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction and said, "Well, yes, she is becoming more and more intelligent, she is indeed your father's daughter."

The sun was setting, Nanfeng County, an unnamed mountain, halfway up the mountain, in a dilapidated temple, a group of adults were busy cleaning up the broken bricks and tiles in the temple, and at the same time they found straw and cloth to temporarily block the dilapidated place. superior.There are also those who sweep the floor, those who collect firewood, those who carry water, those who light fire, etc., are in full swing, so lively.

Ye Junyan was standing on a steep slope at the highest point on the mountainside, looking at the red glowing water reflected by the afterglow.The surface of the water is shimmering, although it is still picturesque, but Ye Junyan does not have the slightest elegance to sing with this scene at this moment.

Because under these waters, there are countless dead souls, and countless families have been torn apart because of this water, and their families have been scattered and their families have died.

In this situation, except for sadness and helplessness, Ye Junyan has no more feelings.The mountain wind at night took advantage of the water to become even colder, and Ye Junyan pulled the front of his chest subconsciously.

Suddenly a thick cloak was draped over Ye Junyan's body, Ye Junyan turned around and looked back, and saw that Gu Xinning had come behind him at some point, Ye Junyan smiled at Gu Xinning and said, "Why aren't you here?" Stay indoors."

Gu Xinning said: "The emperor's heart is for the common people, and concubines are incapable of sharing labor for the emperor. They can only be by the emperor's side at all times for driving."

Ye Junyan smiled, turned around, looked back at the water and said, "I am the son of heaven, the son of heaven, but I cannot protect my people from natural disasters."

Gu Xinning said: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters are inevitable, so there is no need to blame yourself for this."

After a moment of silence, Ye Junyan said suddenly: "You don't need to deliberately pretend to be so nice to me. Although I still don't know what your purpose is, in my eyes, I have always regarded you as a pawn, before and in the future."

Gu Xinning pretended to be slightly surprised and said: "The emperor said that the concubine is pretending? What else is there? The concubine doesn't understand?"

Ye Jun said: "You know it clearly, why bother pretending."

Gu Xinning pretended to be more and more confused and said, "Know? What do I know?"

Ye Junyan snorted coldly, turned his head to look at Gu Xinning, and said, "All this time, no matter how well you conceal it, I have never trusted you. With your intelligence, it is impossible not to notice."

Gu Xinning knew that there was no point in pretending any longer, so she finally showed the cold expression she had concealed for a long time and asked, "You have been suspicious of me from the beginning?"

Ye Junyan turned his back again, only nodded silently.

Gu Xinning's heart sank, she paused for a while and asked, "Why didn't you break it before?"

Ye Junyan was silent for a while and then said: "Because I still want to use you, and I only suspected it before, and I didn't know for sure until yesterday."

Gu Xinning asked suspiciously, "Yesterday?"

Ye Junyan nodded and said: "Yesterday after Nianse passed out, you asked Jinfeng to check in your room."

Gu Xinning didn't understand why Ye Junyan said this, she was suspicious and said, "That's right, so what."

Ye Junyan said slowly: "You said that because Nianse was thirsty, she went to fetch water from the well to drink, but who would pour the water into the washbasin? Jinfeng noticed something was wrong at that time, and he took advantage of it To give Nianse the opportunity to check, I checked the kettle in the room, and the pot was dry, so the glass of water Nianse drank was scooped out of the washbasin." Ye Junyan said here, stopped, she knew Gu Xinning definitely understood what she said.

No matter how thirsty Nian Se was at the time, she was not so thirsty that she wanted to drink the water that Gu Xinning had brought to wash her body, and she was not a person who had just come out of the desert without drinking water for several days and nights, so she would not be so thirsty that she would not eat in a panic.

At that time, Gu Xinning only thought that everyone's breakfast was almost ready, so she was impatient and neglected this step. At the same time, what she didn't expect was that a quack like Ye Jinfeng would observe these small things so carefully.

She has been in the palace for a long time. These days, she competes with the concubines and uses her scheming. She has been away from the rivers and lakes for a long time. Experienced and attentive.

Although Ye Jinfeng is not very old, he is already a full-fledged old Jianghu, and any slight flaw will never escape his eyes.
