Yun Chu shook his head.
With this move, Xie Ping seemed to have escaped from the wolf's den of the Imperial Mausoleum, but in fact he entered the tiger's den of the East Palace.
After the identity was exposed, the queen would never leave Xie Ping alive.
However, since Xie Ping was able to convince the prince to bring her here, it shows that Xie Ping has a certain weight in the prince's mind.
Yunchu said: "Your identity means that you will not be able to stay with the Crown Prince, unless you are worthy enough to make the Queen take a step back."
Xie Ping raised her head with confusion on her face: "What do you mean?"
"Just make yourself useful." Yunchu looked into her eyes, "Think about it, what is the most urgent thing for the Queen and the East Palace now?"
Xie Ping knelt on the ground and thought for a while, then asked tentatively: "Stabilize the crown prince's position?"
Yun Chu nodded: "Nowadays, the princes in various palaces are getting older, especially King Gongxi and King Pingxi. Their power is gradually increasing, which obviously threatens the status of the prince. The queen is not unwary."
Xie Ping raised her head: "Then what can I do? Please tell my mother clearly."
Yun Chu picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea: "You and I have different positions, so I can only say this, come and see the guests off."
Tingxue stood up and sent Xie Ping out.
When she walked outside, a gust of wind hit her face, and she suddenly sobered up a lot.
She seemed to vaguely understand what her mother meant.
After waiting in front for a while, she saw the prince coming out dejectedly. She knew that it must be King Pingxi who refused to join forces.
"Your Highness, I have already found a solution." Xie Ping snuggled into the prince's arms, "After returning to the palace, please Your Highness take me to see the Queen."
The prince held her hand and said disapprovingly: "My mother has always wanted to kill you, so you'd better stay in the East Palace."
"I'll put myself to death and live again." Xie Ping's voice was firm, "Your Highness, please trust me."
The carriage headed towards the capital, and it was not until dusk fell that they finally arrived at the palace.
Xie Ping changed her clothes and followed the prince to Kunning Palace. The palace lanterns lit up the palace like daylight.
The queen closed her eyes and lay on the couch, with a maid beside her gently shaking her fan.
"Greetings to the Queen Mother."
The prince walked into the palace with Xie Ping.
Xie Ping knelt on the ground and bowed her head to the ground in salute: "I have seen the Queen."
The queen's eyes suddenly opened. She didn't expect that this little bitch would dare to come to Kunning Palace!
"You all can go down." The prince said and retreated, "Mother, Linglong has something to say."
Although he knew Xie Ping's true identity, the prince still used to call her by the name Linglong.
The queen's face was full of coldness, and she wanted to hear what she had to say.
"I know that my crime is unpardonable, and I am willing to make amends." Xie Ping said while lying on the ground, "I have a brother who is a compatriot from my mother's side and is working as an aide in Prince Gongxi's palace. I can persuade him to become the East Palace's informant around Prince Gongxi."
Xie Shian wanted her to become King Gongxi's spy.
Similarly, she can also make Xie Shi'an become Dong Palace's spy.
In this way, doesn't it show the value of her existence?
"Ha." The Queen sneered, "Your brother, who is a compatriot, can even drive his own mother to death. I don't think he will sacrifice his life for your eldest sister."
Xie Ping bit her lip: "Then what should I do before the queen is willing to trust me?"
The queen's fingers played with her nails carelessly.
Originally, she didn't take Xie Ping's words seriously. Both Xie Ping and Xie Shi'an were too lowly. She didn't think lowly people could achieve anything great.
However, when I think about it, many major events in history are often caused by lowly people... maybe...
The queen paused with her fingers and gave Nanny Yin a look.
Grandma Yin turned around and walked out of the hall. After a while, she took out a small paper bag.
"If you have the ability to make King Gongxi take this packet of medicinal powder, I will spare your life."
The paper bag was thrown in front of Xie Ping, and her fingers shook violently.
The meals of the royal family are supervised by many people while they are being cooked. After they are prepared and delivered to the dining table, there will be at least two tasters.
It is not easy to poison King Gongxi.
But she knew that she had to accept this, it was the only thing that could show her worth.
"Three days, I only give you three days." The queen said slowly, "After the matter is completed, I will also show my sincerity and let Xie Yuan go."
Xie Ping leaned down to thank him.
The dark night passed and dawn came.
That night, Xie Ping didn't sleep well, and her eyelids were black and blue.
She helped the prince dress and wash himself. After the prince went to court, she changed her clothes and prepared to leave the palace.
"Concubine Wu, stop!" The Crown Princess's voice sounded behind her ears, "Where are you going, dressed like this?"
Women in the harem were not allowed to leave the palace easily. Even if they were the fourth concubine of the Queen, they had to obtain the emperor's permission to leave the palace. It was even more difficult for her to leave the palace as a concubine of the East Palace.
Yesterday she was a servant disguised as the prince, today she is wearing the clothes of a palace maid.
"You are the crown prince's concubine, how can you dress up like a palace maid?" The crown prince was furious, "Kneel down and wait for four hours before you speak!"
These days, the concubine Wu has been staying in the prince's main palace, with absolutely no rules at all.
She advised the prince many times, but he always scolded her, saying that she was too lenient.
This time, I finally found the opportunity to punish this little bitch.
"I cannot kneel." Xie Ping took out a Kunning Palace waist card from her sleeve, "I was ordered by the Queen to leave the palace for business. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first."
She turned around and walked out of the East Palace.
The Crown Princess was so angry that her head was spinning.
Xie Ping took a carriage directly to Xie's house. She did not go in, but sat down and waited in a teahouse nearby.
After waiting for who knows how long, she finally saw Xie Shi'an coming back. She quickly went over and pulled Xie Shi'an into the private room on the second floor of the teahouse.
"You..." Xie Shi'an was shocked, "Why are you here?"
A concubine in the harem would basically never leave the palace again in her lifetime. How could Xie Ping be able to return to the Xie family freely?
Xie Ping didn't have much time, so she went straight to the topic and stated her intention. After speaking, she took out the packet of medicinal powder and placed it in Xie Shi'an's hand: "Brother An, can I live? Can my grandmother come out of the palace? It’s all up to you.”
Xie Shian retracted his hand and the powder fell to the ground.
He said coldly: "I finally became King Gongxi's most trusted aide, why should I dig my own grave for you?"
"Because -" Xie Ping showed a sinister smile, "If I can't survive, you won't be able to live either. If you want to die, we all die together! Don't forget, we are siblings. If I assassinate the prince, you say, Can you still stay out of it?"
"you!"
Xie Shian strangled her neck directly.
Xie Ping breathed the air with difficulty and spoke slowly: "Three days, Xie Shi'an, you only have three days, don't wait until it expires!"
Xie Shian threw her away.
