Chapter 274 Attacking the Mind (2)
"Well, Qiangwei, give me a reward." Concubine Jin turned her head and ordered the newly transferred maid Qiangwei to take out a few silver notes and put them in Xiao Ruzi's hands.

"Thank you master for the reward!" Xiao Ruzi kowtowed happily.

In the Chonghua Palace, the maids drew down the curtain, and the elated Concubine Jin led the concubine into the secret room, and told what happened during the day.

"It seems that our plan is going well. People from all over the world have recommended Lu Wang Chuxiu as the crown prince. This time it hits the king's heart disease. The king is usually most afraid of forming a clique for personal gain. But this time, including Bao Si and Cheng Rong , Lu Kai, all support King Lu to re-establish the crown prince, and the king will inevitably be dissatisfied and suspicious of King Lu Chuxiu." Imperial Concubine Jin said enthusiastically.

"Sister, more than half of the civil servants and military generals in the court now support Chuxiu, so you are not afraid that his wings will grow hard?" Concubine Ge worried.

"Concubine Ge, you don't understand. As the saying goes, extremes lead to opposites. Since the influence of Chuxiu is so great, how can the king still sit on the throne? According to the king's temperament, he must suspect that Chuxiu is forming a party for personal gain and trying to usurp the throne. , the more people who recommend the beginners, the less favored the beginners will be. After all, only the king has the final say on who will be the crown prince, and he will not swallow this breath. In addition, Bao Si promised to recommend the first cultivation As the crown prince, but it has not been implemented for a long time, the Jiang family of Qiu Yunxuan will definitely think that Bao Si is a hindrance, and it will be a matter of time before the two of them turn against each other, we will just wait and see the joke." Imperial Concubine Jin proudly sly With a smile, the rouge at the corner of her mouth looked extremely bright.

Qiu Yunxuan, the distraught Jiang Shi had already started to fidget, she angrily brought the female official Chonghua to Jianjia Palace in person, and questioned Baosi in the name of visiting.

"Axi, is your master in the dormitory now? I want to ask, can the empress's promise be honored?" Jiang bumped into Axi, and hurriedly asked impatiently.

"Oh, it's Mrs. Jiang, our master just woke up, if you have anything to say, we can talk about it later." Axi greeted him respectfully.

"Axi, is Lady Jiang coming to visit?" At this moment, the thin curtain of the bedroom was opened, and Bao Si Ping Ping Tingting stepped out and whispered to Jiang Shi softly.

"Sister, these days, civil servants and generals from all over the world have written letters to support King Lu's restoration of the prince. However, even so, the king has become more and more alienated from King Lu. The matter of re-establishing the prince is like nothing. Please say a few kind words, I am afraid that the rumors outside will say that my sister obstructs the re-establishment of the crown prince, which is not good for my sister." Jiang said tactfully.

"Sister, you misunderstood. My sister has tried my best to persuade the king more than once in front of the king about the restoration of the prince, but the king insisted on refusing to do so. You can't blame my sister for this. As for the legend outside, it is obviously People with ulterior motives deliberately spread it outside in order to provoke our relationship, so please believe in Si'er's sincerity." Bao Si replied solemnly.

"This!" Jiang Shi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and couldn't say anything, so she had to retreat out with the palace servants angrily.

In Chonghua Palace, Imperial Concubine Jin heard the news that Mrs. Jiang had come to the door in person to question Baosi, she couldn't help laughing out loud, her eyebrows and eyes were like swords and swords.

"Sister, our plan to sow discord between Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Baosi has obviously succeeded. Next, what should we do?" Concubine Ge gloated and said with a smile.

"Let Jiang's hands be stained with the blood of Baosi's good sisters, so that they can never forgive each other! Concubine Ge, look, who should our target be?" Concubine Jin stared at Concubine Ge viciously. Uneasy eyes.

"Baosi's good sisters? Axi, Mingyue, or nobleman Xue?" Concubine Ge listed blankly.

"It's nobleman Xue." Concubine Jin said coldly.

"Sister, do you really want to make such a murderous move?" Concubine Ge was a little at a loss.

"For the sake of our glory and wealth, we can't control much. In this harem, you will die or I will die. What is family affection? Besides, when will you, your precious niece, be with you? She has been seduced by Bao Si long ago. , so she must be our victim! Concubine Ge, did you hear that?" Concubine Jin threatened.

"Then what should we do?" Concubine Ge asked with dull eyes.

"You immediately send people out to spread rumors, saying that the fundamental reason why the king and Baosi couldn't make up their minds to make Lu Wang Chuxiu the crown prince was that Xuegui was instigated. Moreover, Xuegui is your niece in name, and she is also your niece. Even if it is one of us, Mrs. Jiang will definitely believe it. Next, let’s watch their show. If you are lucky, your precious niece will escape her life by chance, and Bao Si will never forgive that Mrs. Jiang. How can we Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?" Concubine Jin smiled slyly.

"Is this okay?" Concubine Ge's face was filled with a gloomy cloud.

Waking up in the early morning, the royal fragrance in the Chaoyang Palace Hall is faint, and the majestic Emperor Minggong of the Great Zhou Dynasty sits on the dragon chair and announces the morning court. The officials line up respectfully to pay their respects. And on the body of the senior doctor Cheng Rong and the prime minister Lu Kai.

"Lu Kai, what's going on in the court these few days?" Ming Gong finally asked.

Lu Kai hurriedly stepped forward excitedly and said: "Your Majesty, there is no major event. It's just that more than [-] local officials from various places jointly recommended Lu Wangli as the crown prince. After being refuted a while ago, they submitted the letter again."

"Oh? These high-ranking ministers really care about the widow's family affairs." Mingong smiled contemptuously.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, the selection of a crown prince is related to the inheritance of the Dazhou Sheji. This is not only a family matter, but also a state affair." Cheng Rong came forward and reported solemnly.

"Then can these people be allowed to talk nonsense?" Mingong suddenly darkened his face.
