"This... Your Majesty is free to do as you please." Pei Yuanjun looked at the emperor lazily, "If Your Majesty thinks the harem is okay, there is always a place to eat in this palace."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The emperor threw another book down.
This time, Pei Yuanjun also grasped it swiftly, and then handed it to Li Quan on the side, "Your Majesty, you are so old and in poor health, so you should not be angry. There are so many concubines in the harem, one or two more is really nothing, why should you be angry."
Seeing his disrespectful attitude, the emperor started coughing in anger. Li Quan hurried forward and gently patted him on the back, which made him calm down.
"My health is not good, and there are already too many people in the harem. I don't want anyone else." After coughing, the emperor glared at Pei Yuanjun fiercely.
Pei Yuanjun spread his hands and said, "Then I don't know."
"Okay, you go back first. This matter... you also did something wrong. Just reflect on it for a while!" Looking at his lazy look, the emperor felt very angry. He let go of such a good opportunity. It was in vain that he had planned so much for him.
But this matter is also Qu Zhizhen's fault. How could he come up with such a method to plot against the British Palace? Does he really not know what he is doing
"I'm taking my leave!" Pei Yuanjun knew when to stop. After respectfully bowing to the emperor, he lifted the corner of his robe, turned around and left leisurely.
Watching him leave in style, the emperor angrily slammed the table and asked, "Do you think he did it on purpose?"
He didn't believe that his son knew nothing about the news over there.
Li Quan knew that the question was directed at him, but he did not dare to respond. The affairs between this father and son were not something that a eunuch like him could take care of.
He only asked this question, his face turned bitter, but he had to answer with a smile: "This... shouldn't happen!"
"What can't he do? He just takes advantage of others' misfortunes and takes advantage of every opportunity." The emperor said angrily, and then he realized that this kid had made him so angry that he said some nonsense.
"Your Majesty... No one could have predicted this, but the prince would not like it." Li Quan said vaguely, "After all, he is from the Northern Frontier. Who knows what he is thinking? Look at this time, I don't know what kind of medicine it was, but it almost caused the British princess to get into trouble. If such a person entered the British palace..."
Li Quan didn't say anything more, but the emperor shuddered. If this was really the case, it was what he least wanted to see. He sent them to help, not to be a chess piece in secret...
But he had to continue: "It's impossible for such a thing to happen. Do you think anyone could be this Xie? Not everyone would be so unlucky to marry such a wife as Qu Zhizhen."
"Your Majesty, this matter... could it be related to that matter?" Li Quan suddenly thought of something and said cautiously.
The emperor didn't understand what was said at first. When he finally understood, his face changed drastically. He suddenly put his hand on the table, his face was as gloomy as water, and he gritted his teeth and said, "They... dare!"
"Yes... yes, it was I who overstepped my bounds!" Li Quan said repeatedly. He had just blurted out something, but after saying it, he felt that there was indeed such a possibility.
If something happens to the Princess of England, the position of the Princess of England will be vacant. Isn't that right in the capital? The extra position of the Princess of England will definitely be taken. By then... by then, if the Emperor still wants to...
A peaceful solution to the issues in the northern border must also be agreed.
Even if she is not the principal wife of the British king, she is definitely a concubine.
Thinking of this, Li Quan also felt bad, sweating on his back. This... couldn't be true? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence...
The emperor didn't say anything, but he had obviously thought of this. He gritted his teeth and said sternly, "If they dare to think so... I will peel off their skins!"
The sound was not loud, but it sounded chilly in the quiet room, as if something cold and eerie was crawling across Li Quan's vest, making his hair stand on end, and his vest felt tight...
I couldn't help but sigh that they are indeed father and son...
Her Majesty the Queen is also dealing with this matter, but it is a little difficult to handle.
Of course, she thought differently from the emperor. When she first heard about this, she was shocked, and then became angry.
Qu Moying was angry that she was so stupid that she actually did such a thing. It was a disgrace to the royal family. She was the mother of the country and was in charge of the women in the backyard. What's more, she was the Princess of England. It was originally the Princess of England who did such a stupid thing, but because of her different status, she might be blamed on herself.
Thinking about the unexpected disaster that would befall her, the Empress was furious, but she had to report it to the Emperor immediately, for fear that Pei Yuanjun would lose control and do something. This man had a bad temper since childhood and didn't care whether Qu Zhizhen was his father-in-law or not.
Fortunately, she reported it early, so the emperor did not blame her. I heard that the King of England was also summoned to the palace, so nothing serious should happen. The next thing is the matter of the King of England's wife.
Even if the Princess of England was the victim in this matter, she must be punished to prevent other women in the royal family from doing such disgraceful things in the future.
But Qu Moying's condition was not good. Several imperial doctors had gone there, but no definite news had come back. Even if the Queen was full of anger, she couldn't vent it at this time. She could only grit her teeth in annoyance, but she couldn't do anything to the Princess of England who was lying in bed and unable to get up.
But she still has to deal with this matter. The Emperor is not in the mood to take care of the Princess of England's affairs right now, so she has to take care of it. Not only does she have to take care of it, but she also has to manage it well, and even make the King of England satisfied.
Thinking of this, the queen felt angry and aggrieved.
The eunuch who was sent to investigate the matter just now has returned. He had been to the Prince of England's palace before. Unlike the palace people sent by the Emperor to announce the Emperor's decree, the Queen's eunuch is mainly responsible for investigation. After the Prince of England returned to the palace, he reported to the King of England, and he has just returned after investigation.
"The one who went with her was Consort Qu from Prince Jing's mansion? When did she become so close to Princess Ying?" After hearing what the eunuch said, the Queen said unhappily, "Someone, summon Consort Qu to the palace."
As for the other Qu Caiyue, the Queen Mother didn't even want to mention her. She was just a little lady, was she worthy of entering the palace
An eunuch was planning to go to Prince Jing's mansion to summon him. This matter couldn't be taken lightly now, and every single one of them had to be dealt with.
"Empress, Concubine Qu and Princess Jing have entered the palace and have now gone to Noble Concubine He's place. They should be in Noble Concubine He's palace at this moment."
A senior palace maid beside the Queen reported.
"Then go to Noble Concubine He and summon her. For such a big matter, you didn't come to me but went to Noble Concubine He instead. Are you trying to get Noble Concubine He to plead for mercy?"
The Queen snorted coldly and said unhappily, with a surge of anger in her heart.
Xuanren's eunuchs retreat
Down.
"Princess Yiyu, can you tell me more about the situation of the Princess of England's two sisters? Do they really have no other thoughts when they come to the Prince of England's Palace?" The Queen suppressed her anger and asked Princess Yiyu.
Princess Yi Yu had been kept by the Queen Mother ever since she reported the news. She was sitting quietly on the side, listening to the Queen Mother's questions again. She recounted the whole story in detail, not daring to hide anything.
At this point, everyone knows that the matter is not trivial, but it depends on whether the King of England will stop for the sake of the Queen of England. Of course, it also depends on whether something serious will happen to the Queen of England.
"Concubine Qu first provoked you, and then led you to the back window to listen to people talking. Only then did you notice the commotion inside, and also found that Princess Ying's people were arguing with Xie. At this time, Princess Ying had fainted and was unconscious?" The Queen Mother pondered for a moment, sorting out the causes and consequences of the matter. The more she thought about it, the weirder it seemed to her.
If she hadn't known that Concubine Qu from Prince Jing's Mansion and Princess Ying would never join forces, she would have almost thought that Concubine Qu had deliberately conspired with Princess Ying.
Of course, this is impossible.
Although these two are sisters, everyone knows that there is a kind of incompatibility between them.
The hatred between biological mothers cannot be connected by blood, it is a hatred of life and death...
Besides, if the two of them were conspiring together, who would they be targeting? The Qu family
That is their mother's home. If the Qu Mansion is not good, how good can it be to married women like them
It is said that this daughter of Prince Jing is the most beloved eldest daughter of Minister Qu. She has been raised in the palm of her hand since she was a child. Whatever she wants or needs, as long as it is available, Minister Qu will find it for her.
As for the one in the British palace, she was abandoned, but even so, it could not change the fact that she had the blood of the Qu family flowing in her veins.
Given the situation between the two of them, no one could possibly plot against the Qu family. Without a powerful family like the Qu family, one of them might not be able to hold on to her position as concubine, and the other's position as the principal wife would also be in jeopardy. It all depends on the mood of the King of England. No one could do such a self-destructive thing.
So... this is true, just a coincidence
After the Queen thought about it, she felt that this matter was strange. If it was nothing, why was Concubine Qu from Prince Jing's mansion so sneaky? She seemed to have done it on purpose. Princess Ying should be completely unaware of it. Who was Concubine Qu plotting against? With her status, was she plotting against Princess Ying directly
Thinking of this, the queen's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt that there might be something she could use here.
No matter whether there was a problem or not, she would throw this matter to Prince Jing's Mansion and let Prince Jing take the blame. After thinking about this clearly, the expression on the Queen Mother's face became better. If this was the case, this matter might not be a bad thing.
Trying to win over Pei Yuanjun has never been effective, so what if Pei Yuanjun could sense Pei Yusheng's ill intentions? Would that be more effective than trying to win him over
Misfortunes are often accompanied by blessings, and blessings are often accompanied by misfortunes…
Just look at how you think and how you do it...
"Empress, Concubine He has come to pay her respects to you with Princess Jing and Concubine Qu." A palace maid came in to report.
The Queen sneered. Concubine He came as fast as ever. Fortunately, she had made up her mind, otherwise she would be caught off guard. She leaned back and said, "Announce!"
