The Treacherous Concubine’s Guide To Whitewashing

Busy all night, white light appeared from the horizon. Compared with the constant lights in the main hall, most concubines and palace people slept in comfort.

Early in the morning, Liu Xiuchun took the little **** and ran around the houses of the palace.

There was a message that made the concubines jealous, but they were also used to it.

The imperial concubine was poisoned and fell ill. After several days of recuperation, she has recovered. Emperor Longyan Dayue decided to hold a banquet upstairs in Linjiang to celebrate the event and sent all the concubines in the harem to attend.

The days in the summer palace were spent in idle banquets. Everyone had no doubts. At the time of the banquet, most of the concubines and concubines came to the Linjiang Tower, dressed up.

The Linjiang Tower is built in the Pingbo River on the east side of the palace, surrounded by water on all sides, and only one side is connected to the shore through a wooden pontoon bridge. This season is the time when the scenery is excellent, the breeze is breezy, and it is extremely comfortable. In the past few months in the summer palace, concubines and concubines have laughed and feasted here many times.

At this time, many beauties gathered in the spacious hall, three to five gathered in a pile and talked gossip.

It's nothing more than some clothes and jewelry, well-informed, quietly talking about the two noble concubines and queens.

When they first entered the palace, the imperial concubine and the queen disliked each other and faced each other several times. But since the end of last year, the imperial concubine's attitude suddenly softened. Not only did he treat all the concubines and concubines more harmoniously, but also treated the queen more kindly.

But this intimate relationship only lasted for more than half a year, and suddenly returned to the coldness of the previous tit-for-tat.

Let many concubines talk in secret.

"It's because that day in the ancestral temple, the empress's empress drove with her and made a little affection with the emperor. The imperial concubine came to the door and shouted to kill her." Du Zhaoyi whispered, "I heard the lady in the palace say, empress empress I have bruises on my head and face, Yaoshou, I really did it."

Ding Guibing bluffed the ground as earth-colored, and covered her red lips with a ball fan, "No wonder the empress and the empress are not very popular during this period, and the mention of the imperial concubine will be very angry."

The imperial concubine's attitude was milder before, and some of the younger concubines were moved and wanted to invite pets. It's just that the imperial concubine's prestige is too heavy, and even the queen hasn't moved. They think it's hard to start without permission. Now it seems that, fortunately, there is no dead end. In the eyes of the imperial concubine, the emperor was afraid that she was alone.

The two of them were talking, and the voice in the hall gradually disappeared.

Looking up, it was indeed the imperial concubine and queen who had arrived. What made everyone's eyes wide open was that the two of them came together hand in hand, er, to be precise, it was the imperial concubine who took the queen's hand and kissed her.

The expression on Queen Wei's face was very stiff.

Since the last time she was beaten up, she has been under house arrest in the palace. Although she has nothing wrong with her food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, she feels uncomfortable being stared at every day.

It's hard to get to the end, this woman is going to die for some banquet. Don't you know that a disaster is imminent?

Yuan Luo heard the news that Queen Wei refused to attend the banquet, and immediately went there in person and strongly invited.

Just kidding, her main goal this time is her. Among the other concubines, there are also famous ladies, but they are not as important as Queen Wei alone.

"I heard that Niang Niang was still feeling emotional a few days ago, the door was cold, and she was sitting in the deep palace, living like a year. It is rare to have a lively today, but she does not want to participate. What is the reason?"

"If the mother is lazy and doesn't want to walk around, it's better to set the place of the banquet here." Yuan Luo smiled, but was tough.

Empress Wei was panicked with hatred, she wanted to call her illness, but she was afraid that Yuan Luo would call the doctor. If she refused, she would have to gritted her teeth and agreed.

From the attitude of Queen Wei, Yuan Luo is absolutely sure that she must know that the King of East Sea is going to rebel.

Not only from this blunt attitude, but also from the favorability reminder from his subordinates.

Last time I beat him up, his favorability fell back to a negative number. However, after a few months of the Cold War, it became a positive number, still a good value of 32. Do you think she is about to die, so you don't care about being generous with a dead person?

In fact, there are already a lot of reminders of the details, but she has ignored these by reading the original book.

Fortunately, there is still time to recover.

Holding Queen Wei by the hand and entering Linjiang Tower, Yuan Luo felt a sense of relief in an instant, as if stepping into his own safety zone.

Sitting in position, Queen Wei rubbed her wrist. There was a clear circle of redness and swelling on the white skin, recalling the force of iron pliers on his wrist just now. She cursed secretly, this savage woman!

Fortunately, her grasshopper after autumn will not last long.

When the court turned the sky over, Webster was in power, and the king of East China Sea was in power. Ha ha, I would never let her go.

Don't let this woman die at that time, it won't be that easy. She wanted to demote her to a slave and work as a servant in her palace.

Let her wash clothes during the day, serve tea and pour water, and at night, make the bed with a boiler.

Well, if there is time for her to write a notebook, there are no follow-ups to the previous few notebooks, and she is not allowed to eat if she can't finish writing one book a day.

Of course, first one has to fight, no, two, just like the last time she beat herself, she definitely wants to get back this face.

...

Queen Wei is thinking about the good life in the future. Suddenly, the resentment towards Yuan Luo has disappeared a lot.

My father was right before. People have to look forward and don't care about temporary gains and losses.

Anyway, it must be me who had the last laugh.

It's probably too good to imagine. Empress Wei was taking off happily when a familiar voice suddenly heard.

"What are you thinking about?"

Empress Wei was taken aback, turned her head to look, Yuan Luo smiled delicately with a hint of sinisterness.

Yuan Luo is indeed in a delicate mood. I was pulled over by myself just now, and I could hear the -2, -1 and other prompt sounds of Queen Wei's body from time to time, and she dropped a dozen points along the way.

And just now, she sat there in a daze, and her opinion value began to rise somehow, +2, +3, unexpectedly increased by more than twenty points.

What stupid thought is this **** girl thinking?

The good conjecture was interrupted, and Queen Wei gave Yuan Luo a dissatisfied look. She immediately realized that her attitude was wrong, and she added another smile for fear that she would see it.

The corners of Yuan Luo's mouth twitched slightly.

This dead girl didn't know how stiff her smile was. She was obviously a cat and wanted to show this fox smile. She looked stupid.

"The empress didn't just think about how to deal with her concubines." Yuan Luo held up the tea cup and said quietly.

Empress Wei was taken aback, and looked away: "What the concubine is talking about, I don't understand it."

"Oh, speaking of it, I seem to have heard the wind recently in this palace, saying something about the grasshopper after autumn. It won't be long. Sooner or later we will make this palace look good."

As soon as this sentence was said, the surroundings instantly fell silent.

A maid standing beside Queen Wei raised her head and glanced at the concubine.

Yuan Luo noticed it, just as if she didn't know, staring at Queen Wei.

Empress Wei's heart beat violently, and she took a sip from the tea cup: "The imperial concubine is joking. Who in this palace dares to be so rude."

Calm, this woman can't have mind-reading skills, it must be the words that she complained in the palace before have been leaked out, those dog minions who have seen the wind.

"I don't have any." Yuan Luo smiled slightly, Can Ruo Chenxi, "If there is such a ignorance of good and bad, this palace will definitely let them die."

Queen Wei's hand holding the tea cup trembling slightly, and the white porcelain gilded silver tea cup and the table top made a crisp sound.

She changed the subject: "My palace is just surprised, the banquet is about to begin, why the emperor hasn't come over yet."

Yuan Luo smiled and followed her words: "The empress really cares about the emperor."

Queen Wei snorted without answering.

After a while, Liu Xiuchun hurriedly entered the hall and reported to Empress Wei and Yuan Luo, "The two empresses, the emperor is tired, and said that he should rest for a while. Please have a banquet first."

Si Konglin has always acted as he pleases, and Queen Wei is also used to it. The last time I drove a palace banquet, I saw lotus leaf Tian Tian halfway through, which was very cute, so I ordered people to prepare to go on a cruise, and threw the whole hall aside.

Yuan Luo ordered a banquet, and the court ladies filed in, serving a variety of fine wines and delicacies. On the golden velvet carpet in the hall, the singer and dancer of the band danced lightly.

After three rounds of wine, the atmosphere gradually became more peaceful.

When the banquet was in full swing, Yuan Luo ordered a reward for the female officials and superintendents serving in the temple.

"To serve for a long time is also toil. Today my palace recovers from illness, and on the day of great rejoicing, I will have fun with everyone." Yuan Luo's cheeks were flushed and he was three-point drunk.

What is the day of rejoicing? This uneducated woman is really... Queen Wei secretly complained.

Sixi and the others in the palace offered the drinks they had already prepared, one by one to the court ladies and eunuchs who served behind the concubines. The imperial concubine is rewarded, and everyone joins in.

When she reached Queen Wei, the ordinary and dull female official hesitated, seeing that all the female officials in the hall had received wine, she had no choice but to follow the crowd.

For a while, the palace people all raised their wine cups, wishing the concubine good health.

After drinking the wine, the atmosphere of the banquet became more enthusiastic, and the voices of many concubines were amplified. Empress Wei frowned. As a well-educated lady of the family, how could she be so gloomy. Turning her head and looking at the concubine next to her, her cheeks were flushed and her eyes lightened, she intuitively felt something was wrong.

Yuan Luo seemed to be deeply drunk. She threw the wine glass in her hand and suddenly stretched out her hand to grab Queen Wei's wrist.

Queen Wei was staggered by her and couldn't help standing up.

"What are you going to do?" she whispered in shame.

"The moonlight is just right tonight, it's better to be accompanied by my mother to enjoy the beauty of the moon palace."

Yuan Luo was scented with wine, and while speaking, she pulled Queen Wei around the wide screen behind the main hall to the handrail behind.

Twelve carved screens of landscape and scenery cut off the hustle and bustle of the banquet. The two stood side by side on the high terrace, the refreshing wind blowing with the coolness of the lake, and the dizziness brought by drunkenness disappeared.

Standing on the five-story high-rise building, you can almost overlook the entire palace.

Most of the endless terraces and palaces were immersed in darkness. But only on the far northeast corner was a strange light blooming.

On this dark night, it was very clear.

Queen Wei's heart shook all of a sudden, it was the King of East China Sea and his brother who did it!

She couldn't help but glanced at Yuan Luo with a guilty conscience, she had to leave quickly and couldn't stay with this woman anymore.

It's so beautiful! Yuan Luo smiled casually as if a bright moon fell in the sky and the red lotus blossoms on the ground. Staring at that bright flame, it continues to expand at a strange speed.

Gradually, more and more palace rooms began to light up, and many figures ran out of the quiet room and fled in all directions. Many of them were disheveled and screamed. Across a long distance, I can't hear the noise and commotion, but I can also imagine the chaotic scenery.

Queen Wei stepped back two steps, but suddenly her wrist tightened and Yuan Luo grabbed her.

Staring at Queen Wei, Yuan Luo's eyes were cold and pressing. There is no drunkenness in this look.

Queen Wei was suddenly awake when she saw her. This woman was pretending, and she almost confirmed the matter for the first time.

She struggled desperately, exclaiming: "Let go!"

Unexpectedly, Yuan Luo simply let go.

Queen Wei turned and ran back into the hall. Just after seeing the situation inside the hall, she stopped and almost fell.

The few useful female officials around him were all top masters arranged by the family, but at this time they were all crooked on the ground. Not only a few female officials, but in fact, most of the people in the hall, whether concubines or court ladies, are already stumbling.

As for those who were standing, Queen Wei could recognize that they were all palace servants who originally served in this restaurant. He was bowing to the concubine, waiting for the next step.

Her eyes widened, and she looked at Yuan Luo slowly coming out from behind the screen in horror.

"I have long heard that these women around Niangniang are masters, so I had to resort to some means." Yuan Luo stepped forward and spoke calmly.

Since the last time she prayed for the love medicine in the Temple of Heaven, she had placed Empress Wei under house arrest. Wei Shiming did not protest on her face, but arranged several martial arts guards to come to Empress Wei.

As a result, she had to use the tortuous means of opening a banquet to successfully take the hostages.

auzw.com Just now, there was Jinlinsi’s secret soft tendon powder in the drink. The ordinary people drink only strong alcohol in their mouths, but it is a strong drug for those who know martial arts. He was in a coma and couldn't use martial arts when he woke up. The higher the martial arts, the better the effect.

And those who are awake, of course, are the elite Jin Linsi she has drawn.

Empress Wei's eyes gradually rose to fear.

What is going on here? Everything is not the same as planned.

As Yuan Luo approached, Queen Wei screamed and turned and ran out.

Two female officials wanted to step forward and stop. Yuan Luo raised a hand and motioned for them to step back.

Just let Queen Wei rush out of the hall. Holding the skirt, she rushed down the tall building in one breath and rushed to the edge of the Linjiang building.

However, it was discovered that the floating bridge that originally connected the tall buildings to the lakeshore was gone. In other words, there are still a little debris, some broken pieces of wood floating in the water, ups and downs.

What's even more amazing is that, for some reason, the river water, which was originally peaceful as a mirror, suddenly became turbulent, and the water level was much higher than before.

There were also two or three concubines upstairs who were not drunk. They found that something was wrong, and ran out, also shocked by the sight.

"Niang Niang..." Du Zhaoyi leaned close to Queen Wei, panicking.

"Shut up!" Empress Wei trembled. She walked along the lakeshore for a while and was sure that there could not be any boats left. Even if there were boats, it would be difficult to navigate in such turbulent currents.

She returned upstairs desperately.

Back on the top floor, I found that in a short time, the hall had been cleaned up. The concubines were gone, the banquets were all taken away, and even the servants of the palace were gone.

Only the imperial concubine sat alone behind the last remaining table.

There are tea stoves and tea sets on the table, burning incense and making tea.

This woman is already ready, she already knows that there will be a palace change tonight!

Looking at Yuan Luo sitting in the middle of the banquet, drinking by herself. A chill floated in Queen Wei's heart.

"Don't worry, the drunken concubines and the limp female officials have been moved to the rooms on the first two floors. If Du Zhaoyi and the others are tired standing outside the door, they can also go to rest." Yuan Luo Shi Ran opened. Mouth, anyway, Linjiang Building is big enough for everyone to live in.

The entire Linjiang Tower was strictly guarded by court ladies and eunuchs dressed as Jin Linsi. The only outward passage has been abolished. Yuan Luo chose this place as a place to stay, and held a bunch of hostages. There is only one goal, which is drag.

As long as it can be dragged to Miaozi's side, Lu Bingzhong receives the news and leads the army back. As long as it can be dragged to Sikonglin's safe escape, she will win! No matter how strong the supporting forces behind the East China Sea King are, they are also rebels and thieves, and they do not have a legal advantage.

Of course, the fight for the throne essentially depends on whose fist is strong. Yuan Luo was confident that the soldiers and horses in the hands of Miao Zifang and Lu Bingzhong would not be inferior to those of Wei Xi and Zuo Bingfan.

Time is pressing, and it is impossible for the East Sea King to mobilize his fief on a large scale.

To Empress Wei, who was so tight, Yuan Luo greeted: "I drank too much wine just now, so let's drink a cup of hot tea for my mother to warm my appetite."

The two of them have to face each other in this place these days, and she doesn't want to make the relationship too rigid. Du Zhaoyi was taken away by the female officer.

Empress Wei became nervous from the beginning to gradually relax. She also understood that the situation could no longer be changed.

She sat down opposite Yuan Luo warily, "What are you doing to us?"

"It's just self-protection."

"You... knew it a long time ago?"

"If you don't know, unless you do nothing, doesn't the empress think that East Sea King is a copper wall and iron wall?" Yuan Luo said slowly, while pouring a cup of tea in a slow motion.

She started to learn the craft of tea making after she came to this world, and it was not exquisite. At least it can't be compared with Queen Wei, who has practiced since childhood.

But at this time, Queen Wei didn't care about the taste of tea. Holding a cup in her hand, she stared at Yuan Luo: "What are you going to do to us? Aren't you killing us all?"

This is the second time she has asked this question.

Yuan Luo smiled and said: "In all fairness, it is understandable that this palace killed the empress here..."

"You can't!" Queen Wei screamed sharply.

"Why can't it?" Yuan Luo rested the cup in his hand on the table and shouted sternly, "Killing husbands with his wife, and offending the king with his ministers. The empress thinks that what she did is not enough to be a capital crime?!"

There was silence all around.

Queen Wei was so scared that her lips trembled, and she couldn't refute it.

But she quickly calmed down: "If you just want to kill this palace, why do you spend so much time and effort to occupy Linjiang Tower. You want to delay time and take us hostage."

Yuan Luo did not answer. Queen Wei is also very sensitive sometimes.

"Give up, if you postpone the time, when can you wait until the overall situation in the capital is stable, and the king of the East China Sea is regent, do you want to besiege a place in Linjiang Tower for a lifetime?" Queen Wei persuaded bitterly.

"As long as you are willing to surrender, this palace can call the shots and save your life."

She is willing to back down and stop beating her, and she won't be reduced to a servant girl. Well, if you're a Jieyu beauty or something, just write a notebook in your own palace.

Yuan Luo twitched her mouth slightly, resisting the urge to twitch her, and turned off the topic: "The empress has enough confidence in the East Sea King. I heard that the empress had negotiated with him in her early years, is she thinking of renewing the relationship?"

A trace of shame flashed across Queen Wei's face: "What nonsense are you talking about, I have not seen Donghaiwang several times, and it has nothing to do with it, but the sixth sister wants to marry him."

Sure enough, it was Webster colluding with East Ocean King! At this time, Yuan Luo still had the patience to talk to Queen Wei, just to get more information.

Although the truth of the East Sea King's rebellion was guessed, the specific arrangement was still not grasped.

"Prime Minister Wei is really a good father. He was willing to take risks for the happiness of his daughter, betting on the fame and rise and fall of the Wei family. In the past, I thought that his elders didn't care much about their children." Yuan Luo glanced at Queen Wei. Deliberately said, "But it's no wonder that Miss Webster's Sixth is a smart, gentle and courteous woman. No one in Beijing can compare her with her."

She is also worthy of a first-class celebrity lady, but she was raised by a little woman... Queen Wei was full of complaints, although she noticed that Yuan Luo was deliberately agitating her, she couldn't care about it.

"It's just that there is no one else to marry her. Besides, my father didn't support the King of East Sea for her."

Yuan Luo held the tea cup, "Where does this matter start?"

Queen Wei glanced at her squintly, "I know you are stimulating me, but that's fine, you don't have to hide this matter from you. In the past two years in the palace, you have been monopolizing the holy favorite, really think you are majestic? I can't compete with you? Hehe, I don’t want to argue with you. Because my father has told you to allow the concubine and not to fight."

Yuan Luo revealed just the right amount of doubt, and let Queen Wei speak in one breath.

"He has always worried about General Gu's high prestige and meritorious service. The Han Dang has him, and he has a monolithic one. Since you entered the palace..."

These words resolved Yuan Luo's long-standing doubt. Since entering the palace, the imperial concubine has been crushing Queen Wei to death. It stands to reason that a family like Wei Chong has a deep foundation in the court, and it is impossible to beat a concubine. At least you have to come and go. But Queen Wei did not resist and retreated to the second line. Originally she thought it was Queen Wei who didn't like Si Konglin, so she was too lazy to fight for favor. Now it seems that she was deliberately letting her this concubine.

After the imperial concubine entered the palace, she was out of tune with Gu Liangyong, who had an upright character. Seeing Han Dang's own internal friction, Prime Minister Wei was naturally happy to sit in the mountains and watch tigers fight, so he ordered his daughter to tolerate the imperial concubine.

Recently it has been different. First of all, Gu Liangyong, the leader of the cold party, is dead, and the imperial concubine has no use value. And she constantly interfered with the government, gathered people's hearts, and put chopsticks into the family's plate to eat meat. For Prime Minister Wei, the trouble is greater than the benefit. So I just started it cleanly.

The two talked for a while, and the noise outside grew louder. It was the rebels finally approaching the river.

Yuan Luo looked at the intelligence and asked about it, and stood up calmly.

"The uninvited guest has arrived, please go out with me to meet you."

***

Inside the main hall of the Summer Palace.

East China Sea King Sikongyan sat on the chair, and opposite him, Wei Xi still carried the aura of war and blood. He was standing in front of the hall with frowning, watching the extinguishing flames in the distance.

The first half of the palace change was smoother than expected. There was almost no resistance in the entire summer palace, and within a few hours, it was occupied by the whole child.

But after taking over, the most important goal is gone.

Sikongyan was yelling at his subordinates anxiously: "Have you not found that fool?"

Wei Xi turned his head and glanced dissatisfiedly. As long as he stays in that position for one day, the emperor is the emperor, and the King of East China Sea is too gaffe.

He said solemnly: "The prince does not need to be impatient, the palace is vast, and it is normal to hide in any corner. People like Liu Xiuchun are quite cunning."

Sikongyan quickly realized his gaffe and calmed down: "What Zizheng said."

The fool emperor can search slowly, anyway, the entire palace is already under their control.

What bothered him even more was another thing that was imminent - the imperial concubine even hijacked Empress Wei and a group of concubines and ran upstairs in Linjiang.

They wanted to enter the building to arrest people, but found that the only pontoon leading to Linjiang Tower was maliciously damaged.

Wei Xi was also very troubled by this matter.

My sister suddenly became a hostage in the hands of others, but he had arranged a few masters to protect it before, and it was useless. Now he is very worried about what if that woman is pressed into a hurry and becomes frantic and drags his sister to death.

Wei Xi said: "Has the floating bridge not been built yet?"

The subordinates knelt back and said: "No, the people from the workshop just checked and said that they want to rebuild the bridge. It will take as little as five or six days, and more... I am afraid it will take more than ten days."

Sikongyan was furious: "A bunch of rubbish, it takes so long to build a floating bridge?"

The subordinates hurriedly shouted injustice: "Returning to the prince, it is not that the people in the workshop did not try their best, it is because the water suddenly became turbulent since last night, and the difficulty of construction has greatly increased."

Wei Xi asked several questions in detail, and his expression became serious.

This is the season of autumn flood, and the water will naturally increase, but he remembers that there is a dam on the upper reaches of the Pingbo River to regulate the water in the flood season.

Sikongyan immediately woke up: "Zizheng meant that someone opened the gate and released the water to prevent us from building a floating bridge."

Wei Xi nodded, "The imperial concubine should have known the news of the palace change in advance, so he lured all the concubines to the Linjiang Tower in the name of a banquet, and destroyed the dam and expanded the water. Trying to trap the Linjiang Tower, delaying time."

"This cunning woman..." Sikongyan showed harsh eyes.

The more I hate and think about it, when this trip is over, I must keep that woman secretly and have a lot of fun.

He is not a person of color, but thinking of that woman always evokes a certain secret desire.

Thinking of all kinds of tricks to use, that arrogant and gorgeous face tactfully pleaded under him. A faint red appeared on his pale face.

Reluctantly suppressed the chaotic mood, picked up the tea cup.

He finally suppressed the thought here, but Wei Xi was so dying to mention it again.

"Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine is such a decisive person. It is really a talent." Wei Xi praised sincerely.

He can be sure that the imperial concubine should not be more than one day aware of the palace change. Because the time is even earlier, she can send a letter to Miao Zifang and others, and then return to the capital quickly. Instead of occupying a place like this, fighting a trapped beast.

In just one day, he set up such a situation. He only knew that the woman was cruel and cruel, but he didn't want to have such a smart and determined side.

Sikongyan put aside the tea cup and chuckled, "I'm still a beautiful woman. Since ancient times, the traitorous concubines and demon empresses mentioned in the book are like Su Daji and her like, probably this kind of woman."

He sighed again: "It's really inhumane. Every time in troubled times, I have to be born with this kind of fortune, disturbing the court and confusing people's hearts."

At the end, Si Kongyan's tone was dull.

Wei Xi glanced at him delicately. He was also a man and could clearly hear the desire implied in the tone. Unexpectedly, East Sea King still has such thoughts on that person.

Thinking of that peerless face, but also understand, it is really a bewitching stunner.

"Speaking of which, the rumors about male foxes that circulated brilliantly before the capital are simply funny. According to the king, this so-called fox spirit should be a talent like noble concubine." Sikong Yan continued to sigh with emotion.

He spoke happily, but he didn't realize that after hearing the word "male vixen", someone quickly turned dark.

"I'll go out to see the situation first." Wei Xi dropped a word and left decisively.

The author has something to say: 　　 is more unified.
