Compared with the calmness of Li Sixu and her daughter, Aunt Di next to Wu Chongyuan seemed a little embarrassed. When she returned to Hanbing Palace to return to life, she took off the mask on her face, and there was a shocking red mark on her neck.
"In this Daming Palace, someone actually hurt grandma?"
Wu Chongyuan asked in surprise: "Could it be that the people who sneaked into Hanbing Palace today are the people around His Majesty?"
"It may not be someone close to His Majesty. The slave chased into the maple forest next to Taiye Lake and almost succeeded. Unfortunately, he happened to encounter Zuo Qingdao leading Li Linhuai and the tenth princess. The slave was injured by General Zuo Yulin's family. Injured by the Fourth Young Master."
It's him?
I don’t know what tricks that brat used to confuse people. Whether it was the Fourth Young Master of the Zuo Yulin family, Wang Ziqing of the Taiyuan Hospital, or the veterans in the palace, they all had their hearts set on a little kid like her.
Wu Chongyuan originally suspected that the person who sneaked into the Hanbing Palace today was someone close to Li Sixu, but the princess's loyal dog Li Linhuai even showed up to fight off Aunt Di, which showed that the person could not be the tenth princess's person.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be self-inflicted?
Wu Chongyuan was puzzled. She asked Aunt Di: "Is it possible that the little devil is using it to drive a wedge between me and Concubine Shu?"
"That's a possibility, but there's another possibility."
Aunt Di analyzed: "Now Concubine Shu and the empress are incompatible with each other, especially now that she has lost her power to manage affairs. With Concubine Shu's nature, she might have guessed that the Prince of Qing was seriously ill, and it was the Empress who wanted to use her name to take over the Prince of Qing. Return to your side to raise her, Concubine Shu is the prince’s biological mother after all, and there are experts around her, so she might be her trump card.”
Wu Chongyuan fell into deep thought for a while and didn't speak for a while.
After waiting for a while, she suddenly asked Aunt Di: "How is the investigation of the news from Leng Palace going?"
"The situation is not good. The emperor went to the cold palace today and stayed there for a long time."
Aunt Di worriedly said: "I heard that the Queen over there in the Leng Palace planted longevity fruits for frying and also raised pigs. The slaves were hiding in the dark, listening to the eunuchs and maids working in the Leng Palace talking about what the Leng Palace would do in the future. Pig-killing feast.”
Wu Chongyuan thought she had heard wrongly and looked at Grandma Di in a state of confusion.
Aunt Di was also shocked when she heard that the Queen was raising pigs.
Looking at her mother-in-law's expression, she had to repeat: "I heard you right, the maids and eunuchs in the cold palace really talked about it like this. I heard that there was a pig-killing banquet, and the emperor approved it. The maids and eunuchs working in the fields also The discussion, since the emperor agreed, said that the princess will definitely invite the ladies in the palace to come to the cold palace for a banquet."
"Then the cold palace will not be cold anymore. A place without His Majesty's favor is a cold palace..."
Originally, Wu Chongyuan thought that the Queen's pig-raising was very absurd, and there might be a hidden agenda behind it.
But she was stimulated by what Aunt Di relayed, and she laughed wildly: "What tricks did I think that yellow-faced woman had to raise pigs in order to get out of the cold palace? Hahaha, raising pigs will make me laugh to death."
"Using pig raising to experience the lives of ordinary people shows that she is a good queen who wants to get out of the cold palace. It is really laughable and generous."
There was a coldness in Wu Chongyuan's eyes: "The kid in Ganlu Palace is really naughty. At a young age, he knew how to provoke me and Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu lost her power and already hated me to the core. No matter how she bowed to her, she would not do it. It’s impossible to deal with this palace anymore.”
"In this case, I will play with that brat from Ganlu Hall and treat him in the same way I treat him."
Wu Chongyuan ordered Aunt Di: "Continue to keep an eye on Leng Palace for me, find out which day Leng Palace will hold a ridiculous pig killing feast, and then reveal the news to the people we have placed next to Concubine Shu, so that she can seduce Concubine Shu. There will also be a palace banquet on that day, so that I don’t have to tell Concubine Shu that the emperor has been to the Leng Palace. Concubine Shu, who has a good face, learned that no one went to the banquet she hosted, and instead went to some pig slaughter hosted by the Queen of Leng Palace. feast."
"With Concubine Shu's nature, that would be wonderful. We must not trample to death the Queen who has been relegated to the cold palace!"
Aunt Di's eyes shone: "This is a wonderful plan, we don't have to do anything, we can kill without any effort!"
"alright!"
Wu Chongyuan stroked the kitten in her arms and reminded Aunt Di: "Mommy Di should also be more careful about the prince's residence. If Qing'er continues to stay in the prince's residence, she will be taught bad things by Yang Guibi's son. Don’t be friendly with me.”
"I want to bring this person back as soon as possible!"
Aunt Di answered: "Don't worry, Madam. There is something in the sachet. There will be news from the Prince's office soon. When the time comes, the blame will be framed on Concubine Shu. We can't let her shed a layer of skin, but we can also The Qing prince returned to his empress..."
After losing the right to control the Sixth Palace, Concubine Shu initially thought of stumbling upon Concubine Liu Xian, but as soon as she used Liu Cairen to take over, Concubine Xian turned her army around.
With her ability to win people's hearts with money, she was still waiting for Concubine Xian to throw herself into chaos. To her surprise, Concubine Xian had the affairs of the Sixth House firmly in her hands.
Seeing that the New Year is approaching, the New Year's Eve banquet will soon come when the emperor's relatives will enter the palace for a banquet. If Concubine Xian is recognized by everyone inside and outside the palace, her status will be really in jeopardy.
Therefore, Concubine Shu decided to take advantage of the New Year's Day and called the concubines in the palace to come to her Qingfeng Palace for a gathering. However, the table was full of banquet snacks, but she found that only a few concubines were present.
Even Liu Jieyu, who was with her in the Purple Orchid Palace, was not present?
Concubine Shu was furious: "I just lost the right to control the Sixth Palace, and I am still the biological mother of the prince. Do they take me seriously?"
Liu Cairen was in a panic because he offended Concubine Xian by causing trouble last time.
Besides hugging the prince's biological mother's thigh, what else can she do?
She bowed her knees and said, "My dear, they don't dare to come unless they don't come."
Being humiliated like this, Concubine Shu looked very unhappy: "Why don't you dare to come?"
"Because the Leng Palace is holding a pig-killing banquet today, the ten princesses have invited Liu Xianfei, Huangfu Xiuyi and the noble concubines to the Leng Palace. Yu Chongrong has also invited all the concubines she has become friends with to the Leng Palace."
"Most of the people have already gone. Now that Concubine Xian is in charge of the Sixth Palace, the rest don't dare to come to the small banquet hosted by the Queen, for fear of offending Concubine Xian, noble concubines and the others."
Liu Cairen expressed his sincerity: "These people have really short-sighted eyes. The empress is the biological mother of His Highness the Crown Prince. The mother is as valuable as the son. Sooner or later, the harem will be the empress's world. Why can't these people understand?"
"In short, I will follow the queen wholeheartedly, and I will only obey the queen's orders!"
Liu Cairen added: "What kind of place is the Cold Palace? Even if our emperor dotes on the tenth princess and the Concubine Xian is in charge of the Sixth Palace, we should not summon the concubines from the harem to a place like the Cold Palace. Why not report this to Your Majesty and take advantage of this opportunity?" Opportunity to take back the power to control the Sixth Palace."
"I am worried that there is no way for the virtuous concubine. She is asking for her own death."
Pig killing feast?
Dirty pickled things like pork are eaten by untouchables.
Thinking of the Queen coaxing the brats from the Ganlu Hall with this trick and means, Concubine Shu laughed and said, "There is no need to rush to report this matter to our Emperor. Let's go and follow me to the Cold Palace to watch a joke."
