After hearing Hua Qiong's inquiry, Chanyi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes suddenly became a little sad.
As early as yesterday, when the empress insisted on letting the bandits kidnap Prince Lu, she wanted to tell her, but at that time, the empress was holding the Begonia Bu Yao in her hand, and she was so affectionate and affectionate. How could she do it? mouth?
Chanyi pursed her lips and carefully considered her words before replying: "Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, there have been rumors outside the palace that although Mr. Su and Lin Yuewan are distant relatives, they are very familiar with each other in their words and deeds, which is different from ordinary people. distant relatives, and also said..."
She glanced at Hua Qiong, and after being signaled by his eyes, she continued, "The two of them are like a match made in heaven, and Lin Yuewan suddenly appeared in Nanling City. I'm sure she came here specifically to find Mr. Su." , I’m afraid the two have already made an engagement..."
"Engagement..." Hua Qiong muttered and repeated, her eyes blank for a moment.
She suddenly felt that the blood all over her body seemed to be solidified in the frost outside the palace, and a hole seemed to be drilled into the square inch of the place. She only heard a crisp "click" sound, as if something was spreading hopelessly and shattering in the silence.
Hua Qiong covered her chest and suddenly smiled, her phoenix eyes turning slightly red. The usually charming person turned a little ferocious and crazy at this moment.
I saw her charming eyes, light lips, and a perfect smile on her face. "How can those rumors outside the palace be taken seriously? If he really has someone he likes, why didn't he accept that step back then?" , but you want to leave it to me?"
"that is because--"
Chanyi looked at Hua Qiong's pale and twisted face, not very worried, and was about to tell the truth, but she was cut off as soon as she opened her mouth.
"His involvement in danger this time seemed to be for Lin Yuewan, but in fact it was to save Prince Lu. As for Lin Yuewan, he was just following the trend out of responsibility and morality. Otherwise, he knew that the Queen Mother had evil intentions, why didn't he do it? Inform Prince Lu as soon as possible and have Prince Lu rush back to the palace to take Lin Yuewan out?"
Chanyi's eyebrows furrowed more and more as she listened, and sadness gradually brewed in her eyes. Although she didn't know why Mr. Su didn't notify Prince Lu to return to the palace as soon as possible, the empress already knew that Mr. Su was willing to take risks to save Lin Yuewan, but she was still looking for excuses. She reversed all the causal relationships. , are you defending Mr. Su, or are you deceiving yourself?
"Lin Yuewan is just a country girl who has never seen the world. I can scare her with just a few words. How can such a dazzling person like such a woman? Besides, this Lin Yuewan is just a It’s just an appearance, how can it be worthy of him?”
Chanyi's eyes were half closed, and she listened quietly. After Hua Qiong finished speaking, she asked softly: "Do you really think so?"
"Of course." Hua Qiong still held her hand that was already slightly pale, and her eyes fell heavily on Chanyi's face, as if she was secretly competing to prove that what she said was the truth.
Chanyi bit her lower lip lightly, met her eyes, and tried to wake her up: "Back then, Mr. Su and the empress only had a two-way relationship——"
"That's enough, don't say any more!"
As if she was afraid of hearing something, Hua Qiong's smile faded, her voice suddenly raised, and she drank Chanyi immediately.
Chanyi was slightly startled, looked at Hua Qiong's sharp eyes, and silently swallowed back the unfinished words in her mouth.
At that time, Mr. Su and the empress only had a relationship, so how could he be interested in the empress? The begonias in the same place were nothing more than the empress's wishful thinking. Mr. Su never showed any concern for the empress from the beginning to the end. , how could these empresses not know?
It's just that for so many years, the empress has been like a lonely boat in the wind and waves in this palace of intrigues and intrigues. How could she survive until now without a spiritual sustenance. Rather than saying that Mr. Su is her obsession, it is better to say that she has already planted this feeling in her heart and treats it as a fantasy about the future. Even if it is as elusive as smoke and mist, she would rather sleep on Nanke. Not willing to break it into pieces.
For a moment, neither the master nor the servant said a word, and the palace fell into silence.
There seemed to be a sudden wind blowing outside the window. The octagonal copper bell hanging under the eaves of the corridor moved in the wind, like a ring, and the sound was ethereal and distant, as if it could wash away the delusion in the heart and make people calm and peaceful.
Hua Qiong breathed a long sigh of relief and forced herself away from the surging emotions. When she raised her eyes again, her expression had returned to normal.
She carelessly tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ears, glanced at Chanyi, and ordered in an unhurried manner: "Later, you can go take care of it yourself, and send it to Xianfu Palace from the next batch." I select a few smart ones among the maids to work for me. Now I know every move in Xianfu Palace. Remember to remind them to be more cautious. If anyone dares to eat and drink without doing their best, then don't expect to see them again. It’s up to their families.”
"Yes, I understand."
Seeing Hua Qiong cheering up again, Chanyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and immediately agreed. Then Chanyi's thoughts changed, and she remembered the previous decree of Emperor Dehui. Her brows condensed, and her expression became cautious.
"Previously, the Emperor ordered the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to conduct a thorough investigation of those who had colluded with bandits. Would you like to discuss it with me so that we can make preparations in advance? The Criminal Department is all members of the Queen Mother. If anything -"
Before Chanyi finished her words, she heard Hua Qiong sneer, "What are you afraid of? So what if the Ministry of Punishment is all members of the Queen Mother? Don't forget, my uncle is the Minister of Dali Temple. The Ministry of Punishment is not qualified to speak out. They If you want to tamper with the Hua family, I’m afraid I don’t have the ability yet!”
After saying that, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and suddenly a dark light shot out from her eyes, revealing a sinister and ruthless look. She lowered her voice and ordered: "Go and inform Wang Ming'an that the bandits can't stay, let him suppress the bandits." Before the army arrives, we must quickly find a way to deal with them without leaving any clues."
Chanyi nodded in response, and at the end, she couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty's words today seem to have angered the Emperor. If the Empress wants to deal with the Queen Mother, she must get the Emperor to side with the Empress. The Empress will return the favor in the future." You need to be more cautious.”
Hua Qiong picked up the jade pendant given by Emperor Dehui and smiled nonchalantly, "I originally thought that the Emperor was not aware of the rumors about the Queen Mother, so I decided to test it out today, but looking at His Majesty's appearance, I’m afraid I already knew it.”
Having said this, she stood up and walked to the window, a trace of ridicule passed across her lips, and she turned to say quietly: "It would be better this way, then I only need to add a little more firewood to completely burn the fire in the emperor's heart. Even if she is the Queen Mother, she cannot escape the constraints of ethics, morality and etiquette."
After saying this, Hua Qiongyu raised her hand lightly and pushed open the mica window in front of her.
Outside the window, a cold wind passed by quickly, blowing up the remaining snow on the ground, as if it was going to submerge all the carved palace palaces.
Hua Qiong stared at the sky with a cold look in her eyes.
The Queen Mother had suppressed her for so many years, and now it was time to retaliate once the Hua family gained military power.
