Chapter 520 Interference (2)
"Huan'er, you misunderstood. I found out that your maid, Hui'er, was the culprit who poisoned Rui'er. I was about to pursue it, but unexpectedly, she committed suicide!" Ming Gong stared at Concubine Huan. With watery eyes, he explained carefully.

"Your Majesty, I don't believe it. Hui'er was brought up by my concubine. How could she murder the concubine's child? The concubine only advises the king, don't listen to the villain's instigation, and make tricks!" Concubine Huan insisted on being coquettish and angry. road.

In Jianjia Palace, the courtyard is secluded, the vegetation is rustling, and the solar terms have already reached the depths of winter. Although the stoves in the palace are burning coal, the maids who come and go can still feel the chills.

"Axi, how many days has it been since the king didn't come to Jianjia Palace?" Baosi, who was reclining on the soft couch with a book in her hand, suddenly asked Axi casually who was passing the stove beside her.

"My lord, you have finally remembered this matter. Since Concubine Huan lost her child, she has always pretended to be a monster. Her Majesty, who was deceived by her tenderness and pity, seemed to be in debt. She stayed in the Peony Pavilion every day, while our Jianjia Palace, Since the king didn't come last month, he has been ridiculed every day, and it's really unreasonable for a dignified empress to be plotted and insulted by a group of villains behind her back!" Ah Xi babbled angrily.

Bao Si frowned, tapped Axi's headdress with a book, and said, "You girl, it's been so hard to ask you a question, but you brought up those things again, those slanderers, let them scold you, Anyway, our Jianjia Palace, as long as we don’t fall down, we can live a good life.”

"My lord, you are just too scared of things! When I prayed for the death of the little prince, I should think about myself. Now, after many years, my lord is still helpless under my knees. The noble concubines and concubines like Jiang are acting coquettishly and foolishly fighting for power and profit in front of the king, if they succeed in the future, the life of the little master will be even more difficult!" Ah Xiyan reminded.

"Sister Axi, doesn't our young master still have Song Wang Huien's adopted son?" At this moment, the servant girl Hui Yue interjected.

"Fool, although Prince Hui En is very close to our young master, but after all, he is not his own flesh and blood, and the prince has been in Fengguo for a long time, so he has been born for a long time!"

"Okay, Axi, if you say it again, I'll get angry." Bao Si pursed her lips and smiled suddenly at Axi.

"My lord, alas, it's no wonder. Apart from you, the little lord Mei from Zijin Pavilion is also like this. Ever since he was released from prison, he has been silent, hiding in Zijin Pavilion alone." Axi could only sigh.

"Axi, who are you talking about? Mrs. Mei is staying in the palace all day now?" Bao Si couldn't help but get nervous, and immediately stood up and asked.

"That's right, my lord, that's why Axi hasn't seen Mrs. Mei Gui for a long time." Axi said in a daze.

"Axi, let's go, let's go to Zijin Pavilion to see Mrs. Mei Gui." Bao Si immediately ordered.

In Zijin Pavilion, since Hui'er who was next to Mei Guiren was tortured to death, there were fewer and fewer palace attendants, so when Bao Si and Axi entered the palace gate, there were no palace attendants to salute along the way.

A Xi personally drew the thin curtain and entered the bedroom, Bao Si immediately saw the demure Mei Gui, leaning on the desk alone, painting leisurely.

"Little sister is very elegant, are you here alone?" The curious Bao Si slowly approached Mei Gui and asked happily.

"It turns out to be the empress, my concubine greets the empress." Mei Gui, who was startled, saw Bao Si standing in front of her, and hurriedly bowed her body to salute.

"Sister, you don't need to be too polite. I just heard from Axi that my sister has been dormant since she was released from prison. I was afraid that she would be overwhelmed, so I came to see her." Bao Si said with a pleasant smile.

"Empress, in fact, the reason why my younger sister locked herself up is to hope that the empress can come here in person and listen to my concubine." Mei Guiren gracefully put down her paintbrush, and gently opened her lips.

"Mr Mei Gui, what do you mean by that?" Bao Si asked in surprise.

"Didn't my sister find out that this time the prince was poisoned and the concubine was framed, did someone plot against us behind the scenes?" Mei Guiren asked straight to the point.

"Mei Guiren, who are you referring to?" Bao Si lowered her voice.

"Qiu Yunxuan's Concubine Jiang, my younger sister feels that Concubine Jiang has long had the ambition to regain the throne of the queen. My younger sister entered the palace late, and many things in the past are unknown, but since ancient times, the struggle for the harem has always involved the struggle for the throne. The reason why the concubine is arrogant is because she has the eldest son Lu Wang Chuxiu, if we want to escape the persecution of Concubine Jiang, my sister must work hard on the succession of the throne!" Mei Guiren calmly pointed out.

"Sister, how can this be done? At the beginning, the king himself promised that there would be no crown prince in this dynasty. Now, because of the matter of succession to the throne, the old matter is brought up again. Isn't it false?" Bao Si frowned.

"Sister, younger sister really hopes that the queen's elder sister can give birth to the king's eldest son. Once the elder sister is pregnant, the king will have a reason not to appoint Lu Wang Chuxiu, but to leave the throne to the elder sister's flesh and blood!" Mei Guiren said seriously.

"Ah!" Bao Si said suddenly gloomy and covered her mouth with her sleeve.

"Capture the thief first and capture the king first! The meaning of that mysterious person is to let us bring down Concubine Jiang and dispel King Lu Chuxiu's hope of succeeding to the throne." Under the bright lights of Cheng Mansion, Cheng Rong was holding a silk book that he had found during the day. , Showing to Bao Shang and An Tong.

"Concubine Jiang is treacherous, she has many eyes and ears in the court, and she sends people to monitor every move of the important officials in the court every day. It is not easy for us to bring her down. Besides, King Lu Chuxiu, brave and good at fighting, is the eldest son of the king. His subordinates, now Controlling more than half of Da Zhou's troops, it would be extremely difficult for us to set up another prince to compete with him!" Bao Shang frowned.

"Master Cheng, if you want to stop Concubine Jiang and King Lu's ambitions, I think there is only one way, which is to appoint the queen's adopted son as the prince, which can be Song Wang Hui'en, or the queen's legitimate son!" An Tong suggested.

"Well, what An Tong said is correct, but how can we make the queen conceive a dragon child in a short period of time?" Cheng Rong thought hard.

In Jianjia Palace, the once-a-day harassment rang out again, with insults and ridicules coming and going, making Axi, Mingyue and Huiyue girls in the palace very upset.

"Concubine Jiang must have sent someone to provoke trouble again, Sister Axi, shall we report to the king immediately?" Mingyue, filled with righteous indignation, stared helplessly at Axi who had her hips akimbo.

"It's useless, Mingyue, Your Majesty is now with Concubine Huan all day long, and Concubine Jiang sent people to monitor us and blocked the passages leading to Shuilong Shuren Hall and Peony Pavilion. Even if we want to, we are powerless." Ah Xi was furious. Middle burn road.

"Sister Axi, what's going on here? How dare someone be so arrogant in the palace?" At this time, Mei Gui came over gracefully.
