Eunuch Wei nodded repeatedly and said to Concubine Hua, "Concubine Hua, you asked me to send someone to keep an eye on that Lu Qian yesterday. It really paid off. After he went back, he asked his personal eunuch who was in the Ancestral Temple to send him out. Already."
Concubine Hua frowned and said, "Letter? Where have they been sent? Have you found out what is written in it?"
Eunuch Wei quickly bowed and replied, "All three letters were sent to Queen Xiaojing. Later, Queen Xiaojing sent someone to send the other two letters. One was sent to Liu Shiqing, the Ministry of Personnel, and the other was sent to Dian Guangming of the Ministry of Punishment went to the side. As for what was written, I don’t know. However, I asked around. It was probably that Empress Xiaojing asked Li Shoufu and others to support letting Shuyang marry the Japanese crown prince instead of Ningping."
After Concubine Hua heard this, she smiled at Eunuch Wei and said, "Really? Isn't this a good thing? This is not his daughter-in-law's plan. He must have noticed something was wrong and came to please us."
Eunuch Wei shook his head and said, "Mother, I think this is a scam... Others don't know it, but we don't know it either? His relationship with Concubine Li is definitely not normal. How could he help us push Shuyang into the fire pit?" So, I think this is a strategy he used."
After hearing this, Concubine Hua said, "You are scared out of your wits by him... He is now a helpless little eunuch. If he wants to help Concubine Li, he must have capital! Now, even if he has all kinds of strategies, What's the use! The Queen Mother has reached a consensus with my father! If he is smarter, he can be our dog. This way, he still has a place in the harem. If he still wants to cheat, he is not asking for death. ?"
When Eunuch Wei saw what Concubine Hua said, he seemed to think it made sense.
...
At this time, in the court hall, Huo Xiaolin's family frowned.
They always feel that something is wrong, but they don't know what is wrong.
Because the civil and military officials in the dynasty actually asked Xia Jiuyuan to replace Princess Ningping with Princess Shuyang.
Even Lee Hyo Jung.
There is also Dian Guangming, who has always been neutral.
Even Guo Qiusi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, suggested it.
You must know that Guo Qiusi is one of the few neutral factions in the court.
Moreover, although he is neutral, his reputation is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
This rare unity in the court made Xia Jiuyuan, who had always been suspicious, sense that something was wrong.
Although they openly said they were doing good for the country, Xia Jiuyuan understood these ministers.
They all have their own Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.
After retreating from the court, Huo Xiaolin headed towards Jingyang Palace for the first time.
Arriving at Jingyang Palace, Concubine Hua saw Huo Xiaolin and said with surprise, "Father, why are you here?"
Huo Xiaolin recounted what happened in the court, and then asked Concubine Hua, "Did anything special happen in your harem?"
After hearing this, Concubine Hua smiled and said, "Father, isn't this a good thing? Yesterday, the little eunuch Lu Qian came over, and after being scolded by us, he left... He must have noticed something."
After Huo Xiaolin heard this, he asked with a livid face, "Did you tell him? Are we united with the Queen Mother?"
Concubine Hua waved her hands quickly and said, "Father, I'm not stupid...I didn't say...I just said that we saw through that he was using us..."
Concubine Hua told her what happened yesterday.
After Huo Xiaolin heard this, he slapped the table and stood up and yelled, "I asked you to be careful about your words and actions during this period of time, but it seems you have forgotten it! He is testing you..."
"Father, are you overthinking...how powerful a eunuch can he be?" Concubine Hua asked.
At this moment, Eunuch Wei spoke to remind him of the three letters sent yesterday.
After hearing this, Huo Xiaolin's face turned dark. "No wonder there was such a scene in the court today! Obviously it was Lu Qian who sent the letter to achieve this effect! If you can get that old guy Guo Qiusi from the Ministry of Revenue to come forward, you Do you still think he is an ordinary eunuch?"
"Father, isn't she trying to show her favor to us? Isn't the result now what we want to see?" Hua
The concubine said not knowing why Huo Xiaolin was so anxious.
Huo Xiaolin shook his head and said, "I know that Lu Qian. He is a person who can't bear to gain anything and is determined to retaliate. You humiliated him with your words yesterday, and he will definitely take revenge. It's impossible to be so kind as to let Shuyang change Ningping. This matter There must be something fishy. Eunuch Wei, please keep sending people to keep an eye on it."
After Huo Xiaolin finished speaking, he went directly to Kunning Palace.
...
Lu Qian brought Lingwei to report to Queen Mother Dou early in the morning.
Lu Qian told Lingwei that he went to see Shuyang behind his back and secretly went out to find someone to deliver the letter.
And told Lingwei that she did this to help the Queen Mother.
Lu Qian's rational and emotional words convinced Lingwei.
So I went and reported it to the Queen Mother.
After the Queen Mother heard this, she quickly called Lu Qian in and asked sternly what Lu Qian had said to Shuyang yesterday and who he had written to.
Lu Qian expressed his grievances with his full acting skills, "The Queen Mother, I can actually know. Although the Queen Mother uses me, she still doesn't regard me as one of her own. Therefore, I want to do my best to do something for the Queen Mother." "
"I contacted Liu Shiqing of the Ministry of Personnel, Dian Guangming of the Ministry of Justice, and Queen Xiaojing, and asked Li Shoufu to help jointly propose at the court to replace Shuyang with Ningping, so that His Majesty would no longer have to worry about the announcement. As for going to Liyang The palace is looking for Princess Shuyang just to persuade her to agree to this marriage. As for going behind Miss Lingwei’s back, it’s all because she wants Shuyang to trust me more!"
"The Queen Mother clearly knows that I am dedicated to the Queen Mother. My loyalty can be expressed by the sun and the moon! As long as I do things for the Queen Mother, I am willing to use all the connections I can use."
After Empress Dowager Dou heard this, she asked them to leave without saying anything.
I sent someone to inquire about it.
After hearing what happened in the court, it was obvious that Lu Qian was not lying.
Not long after Lu Qian left, Shuyang also came.
Compared to last night, when she was in a state of despair, this time she seemed to have regained her former energy.
He told Empress Dowager Dou that he was willing to marry the Japanese prince Takeda Ori.
This made Empress Dowager Dou believe in what Lu Qian had just said.
In addition to what Lingwei just said, Lu Qian went to Jingyang Palace and was humiliated by them.
After Empress Dowager Dou heard the news, she thought that Huo Xiaolin did not get help from Lu Qian, and because of jealousy and hatred, she made slanderous words and sow discord between them.
At this time, a young eunuch followed Queen Dou and said, "General Huo, please see me."
Queen Mother Dou probably guessed Huo Xiaolin's thoughts and summoned him in.
Huo Xiaolin told the whole story, and then said, "Empress Dowager Dou, that eunuch Lu Qian, I know him...he..."
"General Huo, you are worrying too much...I asked him to do all this! Otherwise, how could he get Guo Qiusi to speak..." Empress Dowager Dou said to Huo Xiaolin with a smile.
The best emperor master
