"Although I come from a humble background, over the years, thanks to Your Majesty's favor, I have enjoyed endless prosperity. I have a son and a daughter who are very happy. Even if one day the mountains and rivers collapse and the sun and the moon lose their light, it is all worth it. It’s a pity that you were only a teenager in your prime years, and you didn’t have to be like this flower, suffering so much that it eventually withered and died.”
Lin Mi frowned: "Why did Concubine Hui say this? Your Majesty is brave and wise. Even if Jingguo is temporarily unstable, it will not be as bad as what Concubine Hui said."
"Even if it doesn't happen, I don't think you can achieve what you want."
Concubine Hui's eyes slightly raised, she looked at her and said: "You have been waiting for the opportunity to approach the emperor many times, but you have failed to get the emperor's permission. Not only because your Lin family is harboring a remnant of the Han Dynasty, but also because you have no use value to the emperor. You You should know that this harem is closely related to the previous dynasty. The emperor is not young anymore, and Chinese affairs are more important than anything else. Just relying on looks and a little cleverness is not enough."
Her words were straightforward and merciless, which made Lin Mi feel ashamed for a moment, but it was only for a moment that he disagreed and said: "He who doesn't know is not guilty. The princess of the state of Yu is hiding in the Lin family. The Lin family has no knowledge from the beginning to the end. Your Majesty The Holy Ming will definitely not blame you. As for whether the concubine has any value, it is not for Concubine Hui to worry about."
At the end of the bustling place, the breeze blows in the willows. The two women stand opposite each other, like a poetic painting. It's a pity that Lin Mi's face was frightened and his posture was stiff, which destroyed all the beauty.
Concubine Hui studied the face of the girl in front of her, her voice was gentle and steady, and her words could chop people into flying ash.
"What woman doesn't expect the love of her husband? But your choice will never be obtained. The charming acquaintance between young couples will be out of reach for you. In a few years, the emperor will be old, and you But you are only in your early twenties. These high alleys and colorful eaves are full of dead things. You don’t even dare to have anyone to confide in. In a few years, when the emperor goes to the west, you will also die. It’s such a pity and a deplorable life in the imperial mausoleum.”
"Concubine Hui, be careful what you say!"
Lin Mi was shocked. How dare she curse the emperor like this!
That is the most noble man under the Nine Heavens!
Seeing her appearance, Concubine Hui couldn't help but show a bit of ridicule and said: "The emperor is a human being, not a god. In the future, his throne will be replaced by others. Is there anything wrong? Judging from the current situation, maybe in the near future In the future...maybe tomorrow, maybe tonight..."
Lin Mi looked at Concubine Hui in front of him in bewilderment, with huge waves rolling in his heart. What did Concubine Hui mean by this?
Are the remnants of the previous dynasty really sure of overthrowing Dajing?
She said tomorrow or tonight, is it possible that the remnants of the previous dynasty have already started? !
The shade of the trees changed with the movement of the sun. Concubine Hui built a pergola above her head with her hands and walked a few steps forward. She murmured as if she were talking at home: "I really don't understand why you are so persistent in thinking about it." If I want to enter the palace, I am afraid that I will be harmed if I act like this now."
Lin Mi was silent. When she entered the palace, she originally wanted to stand out and make her parents, who were not valued in the family, proud. However, she had not had time to think about what would happen next because her first step plan had not been realized yet.
If you think about it carefully, Concubine Hui's words are not unreasonable.
The emperor really didn't have much interest in the show girls. The draft was only due to the ancestral system, and even the number of people was reduced by more than half. Otherwise, she would not have gone to Zhenbei Palace to find a way. If there is no use value, she may be like many women in the palace, and she will not even see Tianyan for a few times until her death.
Did she really want to become a concubine at the age of less than thirty a hundred years after becoming emperor, or to be buried in the imperial mausoleum?
She looked at Concubine Hui in front of her who was dressed in plain clothes but did not look downcast at all. She realized that she must have someone to rely on and said, "If you have anything else to say, please just say it."
Concubine Hui raised her eyes after hearing this, her brows becoming gentle: "The people of the Han State are determined to restore the country, and this time they are determined to win. Your fake aunt is Princess Zhaoming of the Han State. She has been operating in Dajing for many years. This palace is the center of the imperial palace. I don’t know how many people from the Xi Kingdom are there, have you really never thought about it?”
Lin Mi's eyes widened in shock when he heard this.
She hadn't thought about it!
She doesn't even know that her fake aunt is a princess from the previous dynasty!
Concubine Hui took a step closer to her, "You are of no value to the Emperor, but you are of value to us."
Lin Mi was even more horrified when he heard this, "We? Could it be that you..."
At this point, there was no need to ask. She changed the question with a trembling voice, "What do you mean when you say I am valuable to you?"
Concubine Hui looked at her and said seductively, "Your Majesty is very cautious, and no one can get close to you. But before you entered the palace, you exposed Princess Zhenbei in front of Mrs. Gongsun. You were on the opposite side of her, and you are Zhenbei." If Bei Wangfu recommends you to the palace, the emperor will definitely be less wary of you."
She took out a yellow paper bag from her sleeve and said, "As long as you find a way to feed this to the emperor, I guarantee that you will enjoy endless glory and wealth throughout your life. Don't you want your parents to be able to straighten their backs in the Lin family?" These are little things that are easy to do.”
Lin Mi was secretly frightened when he heard what she said. The other party spoke lightly, but it was obvious that he was not discussing with her, but threatening her! Maybe her parents or the entire Lin family are now under control!
Concubine Hui stood aside and was not in a hurry to ask questions. She bent down and fiddled with a blooming ink chrysanthemum, waiting for Lin Mi to think carefully.
The calmer she was, the more confident Lin Mi felt in her heart.
"It is true that what the empress said makes sense, but it is empty talk. If the empress crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, I will not be able to bear such responsibility."
Concubine Hui was well prepared. She took out a token made of ancient jade from her sleeve and said, "If you accomplish this, I will arrange for you to leave immediately. When Dahu is revived, the Lord will grant you the title of Zhuo." Princess! By then, what man in the world won’t be at your disposal?”
Lin Mi's face turned red. She had indeed heard that the princess of the previous dynasty kept a handsome face and even played with male prostitutes, but this was not the point. The point was whether the other party could fulfill her promise. She looked at the yellow paper bag in Concubine Hui's hand and muttered: "I only promise you to give it a try. If it doesn't work, I won't embarrass you. If it works..."
Concubine Hui smiled slightly and handed the token and the yellow paper bag to Lin Mi's hand, "That's natural. If it doesn't work, you can use this token to save your life when you encounter Dahu's soldiers in the future. .”
Lin Mi heard the words and held the token tightly in his hand. Compared with such illusory things as canonizing a princess, the effect of saving one's life is more real! .
She looked around, bit her lip and took it. Without saying anything more, she bent her knees slightly and turned around to leave.
Concubine Hui watched Lin Mi leave, her relaxed face suddenly became tense, and the sweat on her palms almost made the handkerchief wet. She held her chest and took a few breaths, looked around, and walked quickly to the rockery group. The palm of the hand is afraid of moving in one place.
With a click, the stone wall moved, revealing a hole. Concubine Hui quickly walked in. The person inside was wearing the clothes of a woman from the Xi tribe. With contempt in her eyes, she said, "Is the matter done?"
Concubine Hui looked patient and said, "I did everything you said. Dongxi and Lin Mi have been taken away. Where is my child?!"
The woman from the Xi tribe glanced at her and smiled, "Come with me."
*****
In the underground palace, Qin Zeng, Li Qingyi and his party swept all the way along the underground palace, chasing Lin's traces.
But this is Lin's base camp, and the opponent is as slippery as a well-oiled mouse, so it's really not an easy task.
Li Qingyi said: "Zhen Lang, let someone put out the torch and try it."
