On this day, Concubine Xian came to Ronghua Palace and brought some cakes made by the palace people around her.
Seeing the bruises under the queen's eyes, she asked with a smile, "Is your Majesty not sleeping well these days? I'm a bit busy these days, so I don't bother to come here to say hello every day. It's really inappropriate."
"Why do you need to say these unreasonable words? I am not a three-year-old child. I know you are busy taking care of Wan Yi and you are already very tired, so why do you care about those false gifts?"
"Although I say this with my mouth, I know in my heart that the Queen is the most tolerant and considerate and will not care about such trivial matters.
The pastry brought by my concubine contains jujube kernels, which calms the mind and calms the mind. The queen might as well try it. "
Concubine Xian is extremely considerate in small things. If she wants to please someone, the other person will definitely be very helpful.
After hearing this, the queen said: "Sister Xianfei is interested. How has Wanyi been doing these past two days? I went to see her the day before yesterday, but I haven't gone back yet."
"I had some nightmares in the past two days, but I have slept peacefully in the past two days, which is much better. The Queen doesn't have to think about her all the time. You don't go there not because you don't care. You are really afraid of seeing her when you get close. , I feel really unbearable." Concubine Xian sighed and said.
"You are the most considerate of my thoughts. That child is easily agitated and will cry and fuss when she sees me. The most important thing for her now is to take care of herself. I don't go to see her because I am afraid that she will get sick." The Queen said At this point the conversation changed, "Have you heard any rumors recently?"
"I'm just busy taking care of Wan Yi and don't care about this. Queen, you might as well say it straight." Concubine Xian made a show of listening attentively.
The queen couldn't help but smile before she spoke, as if she was very disdainful: "It has been spread all over the palace and outside the palace, saying that the emperor's eldest grandson is Taibai Jinxing Linfan, who is specially here to protect and assist the emperor."
"Hey, where did this rumor come from?" Concubine Xian couldn't help but blurt out after hearing this, "What can a big-haired child know? It will really be a long time before he grows up to assist the emperor.
If a child who has not yet been weaned is said to be magical, where will the civil and military officials be placed? Where to put the prince? "
"You told me earlier that I was afraid that someone would make a fuss about this, and now I have taken your word for it." The queen glanced at Concubine Xian and said, "You are really good at predicting things."
After hearing this, Concubine Xian hurriedly knelt down and said, "I have never spread such rumors. If you don't believe it, just go and investigate. If it is true that the rumor came from my palace, I am willing to die to apologize."
"I don't mean to blame you, get up! I just said that your prediction was very accurate." Seeing Concubine Xian's behavior, the queen softened her tone, "It's just that the people who spread this rumor have ulterior motives. It can’t be kept.”
"Yes, this Taibai Jinxing is a Taoist immortal, and His Majesty is the most devout believer in Taoism. The person who created this rumor naturally knows this." Concubine Xian said as she stood up, "No wonder the Queen is worried about this, as the saying goes If you do well, people's opinions will shine like gold, but accumulation will destroy your bones.
Regardless of whether this word reaches His Majesty's ears or gradually spreads to more and more people, it will eventually harm His Highness the Crown Prince. "
"Liang Jing is currently investigating the affairs of Tian'en Palace, and I don't have many people around me to discuss with." The Queen sighed again as she spoke, "How about you tell me how to handle this matter?"
"This... I was confused for a moment." Concubine Xian smiled and said, "But I am willing to share the worries of the queen, so I don't want to make random ideas in a hurry."
"Your brother is very reliable in handling affairs. According to my opinion, it is better for him to help investigate matters outside the palace." The queen did not force Concubine Xian to think of an idea, because she had already made a plan.
"If the Queen is trustworthy, we will do our best." Concubine Xian nodded solemnly, "If there is anything in the palace that needs me to do, you can just tell me. If you don't do it well, let the Queen punish you."
Her attitude made the queen very satisfied, so she said: "The common people follow what has been heard and heard and are not in a hurry to deal with it. As the saying goes, the people follow the king's law and the grass follows the wind.
As long as the wind direction above changes, the people below will naturally not dare to say nonsense. What I want to know is which of the officials in the capital is biased towards the side of the emperor's eldest grandson. "
When she said this to the Concubine Xian, she understood that civil and military officials who spread such remarks showed that they were not loyal to the Crown Prince and the Queen.
The queen wanted to take advantage of this to eliminate dissidents, and at the same time eliminate those who supported the fifth prince.
After all, when that day comes, neither side will be able to fight alone, and they will each have their own supporters.
If the queen can catch all those who support the fifth prince in advance, she will have eliminated future troubles to the greatest extent.
"In this case, I will inform my brothers as soon as possible and let them start investigating." Concubine Xian said, "Then what should the palace do?"
"I've been having a headache these days. Anyway, Wan Yi's condition is stable. You should take care of it for me as usual." The Queen said it casually, but this decision was made after careful consideration.
She did not tell Concubine Xian that she had instructed Liang Jing to frame Concubine Fu, but asked Concubine Xian to be her minion.
"The queen can trust me, this is my blessing. However, I have to ask you for instructions in advance. Are you going to be severely punished or what?" Concubine Xian asked carefully as she accompanied her.
"I don't want this rumor to spread more and more fiercely. As for the methods and means, since I can trust you, you can handle it yourself." The queen kicked the ball back again.
How could Concubine Xian not understand?
The queen obviously wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, or she wanted to eat meat but refused to get her hands on it.
If something goes wrong, you will naturally be responsible for it, but if you manage it well, you will get no credit.
"Your Majesty, has our method worked?" Kang Guang asked Concubine Xian after she returned to the palace.
"Of course it works." Concubine Xian took a sip of tea after sitting down.
"What did the Queen say?" Kang Guang wanted to know what measures the Queen would take.
"She pushed all these things to my brother and me. Outside the palace, my brother was asked to investigate, while inside the palace she asked me to take action." Concubine Xian couldn't help laughing as she said this.
"Oh, this queen is very vicious." Kang Guang immediately understood the queen's intention, "We have been asked to do anything that offends people. Could it be that...she suspected us?" Alright?"
"She may not be suspicious," Concubine Xian said, but she didn't care. "While she wants us to investigate others, she is also testing us. More importantly, she doesn't want to get involved."
"The empress is narrow-minded and suspicious, and is not someone who can become a big success." Kang Guang rolled his eyes and said, "Then what are your plans?"
Concubine Xian looked at the tea smoke rising in the tea bowl and said slowly: "Since she handed the knife to my hand, no wonder I hurt someone."
