363, everything is a plan
At this time, the emperor didn't have his usual majestic image, but he was like a child, a child who lost his mother.
The palace people all lowered their heads fiercely, not daring to peek at the helpless look of the emperor at this time, so naturally they couldn't see the cold expression on Concubine Qin's back to the emperor.
Concubine Qin only hated herself for being naive in the past, thinking that the emperor loved her, but now it seems that the emperor only loves herself.
However, Concubine Qin didn't feel unbalanced, because she didn't love the emperor anymore, and now she only loved her son Gong Lingyan.
"Promise me?" The emperor begged, holding Concubine Qin tightly, not letting go at all.
Concubine Qin nodded, "Okay, if Yongxian Palace can be restored to its previous appearance in fifteen days, I will return to Yongxian Palace and live in Qianqing Palace temporarily before then." The magnificent eyes flashed Calculated, "But if the Yongxian Palace can't be repaired in fifteen days, the emperor should stop embarrassing the concubine. Even if the concubine dies, she must go out."
The emperor was pleasantly surprised, but his face was also worried, "But Wan Qing, even if the Yongxian Palace is repaired on the 15th, it is still uninhabitable. This palace has not been lived in for a long time, so it must be damp and cold, and it needs ventilation. Remain."
"Even if you can't live in it, the repairs must be completed within the fifteenth day." Concubine Qin's voice was still elegant, but there was a faint element of coquettishness.
"Okay, it will be repaired on the 15th, I promise." The emperor was overjoyed, and once again hugged Concubine Qin tightly in his arms.
Lying on the emperor's lapel, smelling the familiar yet unfamiliar ambergris, Concubine Qin's thoughts returned to the scene when Gu Qianxue came to look for her a day ago.
Gu Qianxue deliberately talked with Princess Yong'an behind her back. Apart from letting her play the piano, she also repaired the Yongxian Palace in the fifteenth day, because Gu Qianxue said that men and women have two profound and deadly characteristics. The characteristic of a woman is that the scar is healed and the pain is forgotten! The characteristic of a man is that what is easy to get will never be cherished!
This is a truth that has never changed since ancient times. If Concubine Qin who returns to the palace wants to have a higher status in the emperor's heart, she must find a way to make things difficult for him.
But making things difficult can’t be done ruthlessly. There is a limit to everything, and within this “limit” people can accept it, but outside the “limit”, it is only because it arouses people’s disgust.
Sure enough, instead of being angry, the emperor thought that God had left a door for him, and happily ordered people to do it.
the other side.
Weiyang Palace.
"What are you talking about, Concubine Qin is in front of the Yongxian Palace? The emperor has also passed by?" The empress found that the emperor had disappeared, so she couldn't sit still in the hall. She couldn't find the whereabouts of the emperor and went back to the palace, asking people to look for him. .
"Go back to your mother, yes." Gong Ren said.
The queen closed her eyes slowly, calming down on the surface, but in fact she hated it very much, "This Qin Wanqing has always been a pretender! Back then she pretended to be so noble and holy that the emperor obeyed her. When she was ill, she said it was amnesia and refused to return to the palace, but Bengong actually believed it. Thinking about it now... Heh, Bengong is so naive, how could she believe in amnesia? Why didn’t she go back to the palace? If you succeed, then go back to the palace to fight for favor."
Nanny Li, who was beside the queen, sent all the servants out, and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, what shall we do?"
The queen gritted her teeth fiercely, and slowly closed her eyes, "There is no way, Qin Wanqing has a special place in the emperor's heart, and I'm afraid it will be even worse this time." Suddenly, the queen opened her eyes suddenly as if thinking of something, " But so what, didn't Concubine Qin suffer from a strange disease back then? She returned to the palace, might she get sick again?"
Nanny Li hesitated to speak, and said, "Your Majesty, some people secretly spread that you were responsible for Concubine Qin's strange disease, what should I do?"
The queen laughed, "What did I do? I wanted to do it, but I don't have the ability! If I really had the ability to infect people with strange diseases without anyone noticing it, I would have put her to death long ago and allowed her to live here." Are you making waves?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples lightly, and the smile on his lips became even more frightening. "So, if she comes back, I will be safe."
Nanny Li was surprised, "What do you think your mother said?"
The queen took her fingers off her temples, raised her head, her eyes were bright, her appearance was similar to Aunt Pei's, but her eyes were much wiser than Aunt Pei's. "Everyone in the world thinks that this palace is competing with Concubine Qin for favor. If Concubine Qin has made a mistake, even if they don't say anything, they will think it is the work of this palace. But what they don't know is that if Concubine Qin's strange illness is really caused by manpower. Because, once Concubine Qin dies, I will be the one who suffers next."
Mother Li was surprised, "Could this be the reason why the empress asked the servants to strictly control the meals?"
The queen nodded, "When Concubine Qin fell ill, the palace also sent many people to investigate the cause of Concubine Qin's cause, and even begged my father to find many famous doctors, but they couldn't find the source of the strange disease. Although everyone thought it was Concubine Qin's doomed fate, but I can't feel at ease, but I always have a premonition that this strange disease is not so simple. I also have a premonition that when Concubine Qin dies, after a few years, that person will die. He has laid a poisonous hand on this palace."
As she said that, the queen's eyes narrowed, and hatred burst out in her eyes.
If it is said that the queen is disgusted and wary of Concubine Qin, then facing the black hand behind this, the queen is full of hatred and fear.
She had seen Concubine Qin's appearance when she was ill, and she was afraid that she would be like that one day.
Nanny Li hurriedly comforted her, "Mother, don't scare yourself, maybe Concubine Qin is just sick herself?"
The queen sneered, "Sick? If it's really sick, then God is too kind to some people! Concubine Qin blamed her illness, and everyone thought it was my palace's fault. Slander, I'm afraid it's hard for me to keep my position. Concubine Qin is gone, this palace is gone, so some people just picked up the position for nothing?"
Mother Li suddenly realized, "Could it be Concubine Ceylon? Concubine Ceylon has the blood of Chu Yan Kingdom, and that Chu Yan Kingdom is the best at playing tricks...it must be Concubine Ceylon!"
The queen laughed, "Don't be too sure, Mammy, if things in this world were as simple as adding one and getting two, it's like outsiders think that it's my gong who did it, but the truth is someone else. Don't worry, you can't hold fire in the paper, and you will show your feet one day." Thinking of this, the empress felt a lot more at ease, "Thinking about it this way, I should be happy that Concubine Qin is back. If there is a black hand, it used to be this palace. Check, now Concubine Qin is checking it out herself, so I'm at leisure."
What the queen didn't say was that it was precisely because of the outside world's suspicion of her that she stepped up her steps to win over the courtiers. One was for self-protection; the other was for the prince. After all, most of it is for the only son.
