in the sound of swallows

Chapter 117
She was the key person who helped the Queen Mother and Gu Chaobei successfully complete major events. The Queen Mother did not protect her this time because of the emperor's factors. Since she is not protected anymore, it will be no problem to help her push Qinghuan up. Bar?

"Thank you, Concubine Shen." Qing Huan knelt down obediently, and said seriously: "Qing Huan will definitely repay your kindness and save your mother!"

Shen Hanlu closed her eyes, every time-traveling woman who went to the palace had to go to the Leng Palace, there was always a chance for her to come out.At first, she was soft-hearted towards Shen Guiyan, and instead of slapping her to death, it gave her a chance to fight back.

I will definitely not let her go next time!
"Concubine Shen, please." The steward of the Leng Palace had already come and stood outside, Shen Hanlu took a deep breath and followed her out.

Qing Huan stood in Luhua Palace, watched her leave, smiled slightly, turned around and left for the East Palace.

"Concubine Shen is also very at a loss about the poisoning of Concubine Shen." Sitting in Xiuzhuang Palace, Jiang Guiren frowned and said: "That day, Qing Huan invited concubine to go to pay her respects, and said that she had made Yangzhi Manna to offer to Concubine Shen. The concubine went in first. As soon as the concubine entered, Concubine Shen said that she hadn't eaten this before, so she tasted it directly. Qing Huan came in later, a little annoyed, and felt that the concubine was borrowing flowers to present Buddha and robbed her of her benefits."

Shen Guiyan listened and asked, "Did Concubine Shen eat the poisoned one?"

"Yes, within half an hour she complained of a stomachache. The imperial doctor came to see and said that there was something wrong with Yangzhi Ganlu. The concubine was really wronged. Qing Huan said that it had nothing to do with her. She made it and asked the maid to try it. I dare to bring up the matter, it must be the concubine's hands and feet."

"I didn't ask anything else after that, Concubine Shen went to sue Empress Dowager Wen, and Empress Dowager Wen didn't ask any more questions, and directly convicted the concubine."

Shen Guiyan thought for a while, and said: "Qing Huan's relationship with Concubine Shen must be closer than you, right?"

"That's natural." Jiang Biyue pursed her lips and glanced at Shen Guiyan. She was so angry that she even talked about the things in the mansion before: "Qing Huan's heart is not small. She was in Gu's mansion before. I was thinking about how to compete with you, and I even directed and acted in haunted scenes, so that I can enjoy both rain and dew."

"Oh?" Shen Guiyan raised her eyebrows: "So it was her fault."

"Isn't that right, Empress Yan Concubine must guard against her in the future." Jiang Biyue gritted her teeth: "I treated her very well, I didn't dislike her background, and even helped to speak well in front of the emperor, asking her to come into the palace Be a talented person. In the end, who would have thought that she would avenge her kindness like this, stepping on her concubine to get closer to Concubine Shen."

Not to mention flattery in front of Concubine Shen every day, he was originally with her, but now he thinks she is an eyesore, so he climbed up to Concubine Shen and kicked her away.That girl is really cruel and poisonous.

Shen Guiyan listened, without making any comments, she just took Jiang Biyue's hand and said, "It's just Yuan Xiaoren. In this palace, you are also an old man by the emperor's side, so you are not afraid that you will not be able to survive. Concubine Shen has entered the cold palace, you Just live your life."

Jiang Biyue thought for a while, nodded, and obediently sat down beside Shen Guiyan.

The emperor returned to court, but he still didn't go to the Empress Dowager Wen's place to pay his respects, but he went to the Empress Dowager Nian's place every day.

Duanwen dragged Shen Guiyan to the imperial garden, and said as he walked, "Recently everything in the court seems to be weird."

"What kind of strange method?" Shen Guiyan asked softly.

"The emperor and the empress dowager Wen have had a rift since the last incident. The emperor seems to be fighting against the empress dowager, but the empress dowager who is making small troubles endures it. Regarding the rumors of the New Deal, the empress dowager has not given up a single step, and she is overwhelmed. dead."

"New Deal?"

Duanwen stood on the small bridge, shaking a willow stick in his hand, and said: "There is a minister in the court who said that the current bureaucratic system is not suitable, and wants to formulate a new policy. This was just said at the beginning, and it was rejected." The queen mother yelled back. The emperor wanted to hear it, but the queen mother directly yelled to retreat, which angered the emperor again."

In today's world, the common people are as cheap as grass, they cannot reach the heavens at the top, and bureaucrats oppress them at the bottom, so the people have no means of living.Shen Guiyan had seen quite a few in the past, refugees were all scattered on the street.

"This palace looks a little funny. When the emperor was a dude, he cared about the people's opinions and sentiments. Now that he is on the throne, he can see the suffering of the people's livelihood." Duanwen said: "Many old officials were taken aback by him. Woolen cloth."

Shen Guiyan looked into the distance, spring seemed to be coming soon, and many places in the imperial garden were faintly green.

Gu Chaobei has always acted like he doesn't care about anything, but in fact he still has everything in mind.

"Anyway, there's some chaos in the court right now, why don't we go sit in the mother's harem right now." Duan Wen pulled Shen Guiyan, thought for a while and added: "Mother Nian."

Shen Guiyan nodded, and followed her to the North Palace.Duanwen couldn't help sighing along the way: "It turns out that Empress Dowager Wen and my mother have always had trouble getting along. I didn't expect that when the emperor ascended the throne, my mother would live in peace without asking about harem and court affairs."

People do tolerate each other when there is no conflict of interest.Shen Guiyan remembered the things she had been curious about all along, and couldn't help asking: "Does the princess know the emperor's life experience?"

Duanwen paused, looked at her sideways, and said with downcast eyes: "The queen mother said that it was the child of a maid in her palace who was sent to the prime minister's residence."

"Which maid?"

Duanwen let go of her hand uncomfortably, frowned and said, "I don't know very well, why do you ask so many questions?"

Shen Guiyan was taken aback for a moment, seeing Duanwen obviously knew but didn't want to say it, she became even more curious.

The Empress Dowager Nian was also a person who only favored the harem at the beginning, but now she is willing to keep the power of the Nian family and stay in the deep palace for the elderly, with no desires or desires.She always felt that something was wrong.

But it has a lot to do with it, she is now a concubine in the harem, so don't ask if you don't ask.

"You are here." The Empress Dowager Nian was leaning on the soft couch drinking tea, saw Duan Wen and Shen Guiyan, waved her hands and said, "Just now, the Empress Dowager Wen passed a message to Ai's family, saying that she is going to be promoted to Qing Dynasty." My lord."

"What?" Duanwen went to the Empress Dowager Nian with wide eyes: "And why? Who is Qingcai?"

The Empress Dowager Nian said: "It turned out to be the maid in Gu's mansion. What does it mean for one person to gain the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven? She didn't think about how good this background would be if there was a prince in the future."

Duanwen frowned: "The Empress Dowager Wen is doing this completely according to her own temperament. Whoever she wants to be promoted, whoever she wants to be demoted. This is the emperor's harem. Don't you want to stop me, Queen Mother?"

"How can the Ai family stop it?" The Empress Dowager Nian laughed sarcastically: "Her Wen family almost ran across the world, can the Ai family stop it?"

Shen Guiyan bowed her head obediently and stood aside listening.

The Empress Dowager Nian spotted her and waved, "Come here."

Shen Guiyan didn't hesitate, she was trained very well by the Empress Dowager Nian, and she went there immediately when called.

The Empress Dowager Nian looked at her and said, "Can you bear with so many women around him?"

Shen Guiyan was taken aback for a moment, looked up at the Queen Mother inexplicably, and said in a low voice, "Don't you have to endure it?"

"Even if you are sensible, it seems that you haven't given up yet." The Empress Dowager Nian snorted and said, "Give Aijia another month to wait. After one month, you will be busy."

Shen Guiyan was stunned for a while when he heard these fierce and profound words, and nodded in response: "Okay."

She vaguely seemed to have guessed something, starting with the pair of cotton leggings worn by the Empress Dowager Nian.

Qing Huan was promoted to a nobleman, and she wore much more luxurious clothes than before. She respectfully knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager Wen and said, "My concubine was entrusted by Concubine Shen, and I came to invite the Empress Dowager to be the master. My empress is still in the cold palace. where."

Empress Dowager Wen rubbed her forehead, and said impatiently: "Let her reflect more in the cold palace. Sometimes people are too stupid to survive when they come out. You should help serve the emperor well. His recent temper is It's getting bigger."

"Follow the order." Qing Huan obediently agreed.

Empress Dowager Wen glanced at her, and suddenly felt that she was much more pleasing to the eye than Shen Hanlu.There are too many court affairs recently, she really doesn't have time to pay attention to Shen Hanlu's troublemaker.All he was thinking about was what method to use to make the emperor trust her and rely on her again.

"Changqing." Empress Dowager Wen sighed.

Yuwen Changqing standing next to him came forward and said, "The minister is here."

"The Ai family has always trusted you the most. Tell the Ai family, how long will the emperor continue to make trouble?" They also kept a few elders in the imperial study, and did not allow Ai's family to enter. What can he do?"

Yuwen Changqing cupped his hands and said: "The queen mother also knows that the emperor is messing around, and she doesn't care what he is doing. The emperor has a child's heart, and will wantonly destroy it if he is provoked. The queen mother just bears with it."

With Yuwen Changqing's words, Empress Dowager Wen became much more stable.She has the military power in her hands, and has the support of the Wen Family, so what are she afraid of?The emperor was the mud she lifted up. If she really dared to go up the wall, she could scrape him off again.

"The Qing nobleman has to use dim sum recently to serve the emperor well." Empress Dowager Wen turned her head and said.

Qing Huan nodded in response: "The concubine obeys the order."

In the past, she was just a servant girl who was looked down upon by everyone, but now she is a high-ranking nobleman.Qing Huan walked on the palace road with her head held high and her chest held high, very proud of herself.Qing Luo greeted her, and asked in a low voice: "Sister Qing Huan, won't you rescue Concubine Shen?"

"Empress Dowager Wen refuses to save me. I am a little noble, what can I do?" Qing Huan snorted, and glanced at Qing Luo: "Do you know whose brand the emperor turned over tonight?"

Qingluo has recently gotten close to a father-in-law in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so she is naturally well informed.

"It seems that there is no sign, but Concubine Yan has a stomach ailment, the emperor may go to see it tonight." Qing Luo whispered.

Qing Huan nodded and said with a smile, "That's easy."

"Sister, do you want to snatch the emperor from Concubine Yan?" Qingluo opened her eyes wide: "No way..."

"What's wrong." Qing Huan snorted coldly: "You people, you are content with being lowly, so you can never get ahead."
