Empress Xiao Zhaoren in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 62

Ma Jia also knew that there was no need for Rong Huang to save her son, so she nodded and thanked Rong Huang, and planned to find a way to rescue Cheng Rui by herself.

Rong Huang got the desired effect and left contentedly.Rulan couldn't help being curious, and asked Ruilan who was beside her: "When did nobleman Ping tell the master those words? I didn't even see her coming to our Yikun Palace."

Ruilan looked at her amusedly and said, "Master Ping really didn't say that."

Hearing her answer, Ru Lan was even more surprised: "Then the master is lying to Rong Changzai? But I just saw Rong Changzai's appearance, and she is convinced."

Rui Lan thought for a while, but she didn't know how to explain it. Jing Yi laughed and said, "The so-called caring leads to chaos, and the so-called surrender of noble people is just the last straw to break Ma Jia's presence. It doesn't really matter whether it's true or not." The important thing is that Rong Changzai is determined to think that the Queen wants to kill Eldest Brother. It doesn’t matter if Mrs. Ping doesn’t come, as long as our master says she has been here, she has. It’s about Eldest Brother. You can't be too careful."

The two little girls looked at Jing Yi half-understood, with a hint of admiration in their eyes.Although Ru Lan was brought from home by Rong Huang, she was not thoughtful enough, and many things could only be seen on the surface.Rui Lan is smart, but it's a pity that she was sent by Liu Qing, and Rong Huang didn't trust her enough.Only Jing Yi, the aunt in charge of Yikun Palace, is the confidant of Niu Hulu's family, but also smart and understands Ronghuang's thoughts best.

Hearing what Jing Yi said, Rong Huang couldn't help tilting her head and chuckling: "Actually, it's not all about blackmailing her. If I'm not wrong, Ma Jia will definitely spread the news that the queen is pregnant soon." go out."

Jing Yi nodded and agreed: "Yes, in this way, when the queen poisons the eldest brother, the emperor and the queen mother have reason to suspect that the queen will poison the eldest brother for the sake of the emperor's heir in her womb. Such a tossing about the queen After a while, she must be vigilant and dare not act rashly."

Rong Huang shook his head, frowned slightly and said: "Not necessarily. The empress is too impatient. She wants to get rid of Bengong, but also feels that the elder brother is an eyesore. I'm afraid Ansheng will do it again in a few days. What I want to say Yes, if the news of the empress's pregnancy spreads throughout the harem, even if the empress is not afraid of fearful words, Pinggui will be afraid of being implicated. So... If Pinggui is really a smart person, I will go to Changchun Palace today Before that, she will definitely come to Yikun Palace."

As expected, things did not go as Rong Huang expected, just after she returned to Yikun Palace, a maid came up to tell her that nobleman Ping had been waiting for the imperial concubine for a long time.After hearing this, Rong Huang looked at Jing Yi and smiled.Although the news of the queen's pregnancy had not yet spread, Ping Guiren could no longer hold back.It seems that the relationship between the Hesheli sisters is not very good?

Walking all the way into the house, the court lady who had been clever for a long time opened the curtain graciously.Before Rong Huang came, Mr. Ping didn't dare to take a seat without authorization, so he just stood there.Seeing Rong Huang coming, she went up to pay her respects in a proper manner: "Blessings and peace, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine."

Rong Huang pursed her lips and smiled, and said lightly: "Let's be flat. Mr. Ping is a rare guest, why did you come to Yikun Palace to find me?"

Ping Guiren didn't speak for a long time, she deliberately showed a very struggling look, so that Rong Huang couldn't help but ask her.Rong Huang did speak first, but what she said made Ping Guiren's face suddenly change.

"I know you are very smart, but if you deliberately take Joe in front of me, you are pretending to be smart." Rong Huang smiled lightly, raised his hand to signal the palace servants to serve tea, with a gentle smile still on his face. "The empress is going to blame me for poisoning elder brother? I already know about this. Apart from that, is there anything else you want to say, sister?"

Hearing the words, nobleman Ping only felt a bang in his ears, and his head exploded: Concubine Zhao knew everything!

This is the bargaining chip she came to negotiate with Rong Huang today, but before she asked for anything, the other party had already confessed everything, how could she hold her head up in front of Rong Huang?Lady Ping knows that once she loses this first step, she will always submit to Concubine Zhao in the future!

No, she will never be reconciled...

Ping Guiren gritted his teeth, and suddenly knelt down in front of Ronghuang with a plop, and said in a desolate low voice: "Your Majesty, this concubine is not pretending to be in front of your Majesty, but...it is about the concubine's sister, concubine, concubine ..."

If Xihe and Fang'er were really sisters, then she shouldn't be here today at all.After all, for a person like Ping Guiren, the so-called sisters are insignificant in the face of power and life.To be able to have such a ruthless mind at such a young age is something that even the current Rong Huang cannot easily do.

Rong Huang also knew that Xihe couldn't be pushed too fast, so he softened his voice and comforted: "Sister Ping, don't worry, just tell me if you have any difficulties, I will do my best if I can help you. .”

Ping Guiren showed emotion, and said with red eyes: "The concubine knows that you will uphold justice, so I will take the liberty of visiting today." Speaking of this, she turned her head and glanced at Jing Yi and other palace officials. Said: "It's just that what the concubine said is of great importance, I hope the empress will back off."

Rong Huang gave a soft "hmm", and the maids bowed their heads and retreated together.Almost as soon as the door was closed, Mr. Ping kowtowed to Rong Huang and said, "Imperial concubine, concubine is guilty!"

"Oh?" Rong Huang looked at her with a half-smile, "Your Ping has always behaved well, what's the crime?"

Xi He was stared at by her expression and his heart was on edge. Although she was very intelligent, she was only a child of about ten years old after all.Her eyelids twitched, and cold sweat flowed from her forehead to her warm neck.

"Concubine...not reporting the knowledge, almost made a big mistake..." She said this, tears streaming down her face: "Perhaps the imperial concubine already knows that the empress is pregnant."

Rong Huang gave a "hmm" and said calmly: "The queen is pregnant? This is a happy event."

Mr. Ping saw that she was pretending to be stupid, so he had no choice but to tell the truth: "But the queen wants to poison the elder brother with her concubine! Not only that, she invited you to enjoy the flowers today, just to put this crime on your head Come on! Concubine, I don’t know how you got this news, but the empress prepared this matter extremely secretly, you must have no evidence in your hands... Even if you can hide from the first day of junior high school, you can’t escape the fifteenth day! Bitter concubine Persuading the queen was fruitless, so I had no choice but to ask the empress for help!"

Rong Huang fiddled with the blue tea cover in silence, and after a while Fang said: "Sister Ping, let's get up and talk first."

Seeing Rong Huang's looseness, Xi He was overjoyed and stood up obediently.

"In your opinion, what should I do to resolve the crisis?"

Upon hearing the words, nobleman Ping replied without hesitation: "Naturally, we should report all the queen's actions to the emperor and the queen mothers of the two palaces! The concubine is the queen's younger sister, and she will not be framed for no reason, so the concubine is the best! Witness."

Rong Huang pondered, deliberately showing a tangled look.Ping Guiren hurriedly persuaded: "If the queen is deposed, you are the best candidate for queen!"

Rong Huang closed her eyes, and although he hesitated, she still said: "But the queen still has a prince in her belly, and I have no heir so far."

"Your Majesty, my elder sister made such a big mistake, not to mention losing her position as queen, she might even lose her life. The child in her belly is her life-saving talisman, but it is also her life-saving talisman. Now the emperor is like this Dote on the noble concubine, as long as you become a queen and hold my sister's child under your knees to raise him, he will still be the eldest son."

"What you said is not unreasonable..." Rong Huang's face revealed a look of longing, "In this way, I have both power and a son..."

Pinggui just smiled when she heard this, but what Ronghuang said next made her smile froze at the corner of her mouth.

"But why do you want to help Ben Gong?"

Xihe knew that this was a very realistic problem, and it was also the prerequisite for Concubine Zhao to believe in herself.People die for money, birds die for food, it is impossible for a woman in the harem to do something for no reason, so she must give Rong Huang a convincing explanation.

"Because of fear." Ping Guiren made full use of his age advantage and put on a pitiful look: "Now that the emperor is in charge of the government, the saying of assisting ministers no longer exists. My grandfather died of illness, and only my uncle is worthy of the emperor. A little bit of trust... If the concubine allows the queen to do such a rebellious thing, once the incident happens, the family will be affected. It is not a pity for a concubine to die, but the hundreds of people in the family are really innocent! I hope the empress will remember us Save the Hesheli family for the sake of the two families being close friends!"

When she said this, she was about to kneel down again, but Rong Huang suddenly stood up, her eyes flickering and said: "Sister Ping!"

Xi He's kneeling action froze.

After such a short pause, Rong Huang had already walked down from the imperial concubine's bed.She helped Mr. Ping herself up, and said very gently: "We are all sisters, why bother to kneel? I just believe you."

Ping Guiren showed joy, and held her arm tightly: "Your Majesty, do you really mean what you say?"

This is to show her childish side on purpose.Rong Huang sneered in her heart, and said calmly: "What did I lie to you for? It's just that this matter can't be over so easily." She looked sideways at Xi He, and Gu Pan's eyes sparkled, even Ping Guiren had a Sha's absent minded. "If it's just abolishing her position as queen and keeping her alive, how will the little elder brother under my knees know the truth in the future? So the best way is..."
