The Evil King's Only Favorite: The Broken Concubine

Chapter 61 The Huge Conspiracy

The next morning, all kinds of precious flowers in the imperial garden rushed to bloom, and there were crystal dewdrops on the petals. At this moment, there was a burst of laughter, "Empress, look how beautiful the flowers bloom Ah!" Shui Furong smiled prettily, pointing to a rose flower not far away.

Li Jingsu followed Shui Furong's hand, then nodded, turned her head and said with a smile: "Concubine Rong has a good eye, and she immediately fell in love with the most beautiful flower in the Imperial Garden. This flower is like my sister's face." Same, beautiful as a flower, everyone loves it, no wonder the emperor likes it, even this palace envies you at your age," she said as she walked to the pavilion not far away, followed by Gao Mingxue, and a large group of court ladies and eunuchs.

At this time, the pavilion was already full of people, and only one personal maid was left beside each empress, and the rest waited outside the pavilion. The chatter in the pavilion could be heard a few meters away, "Have you heard that yesterday The emperor stayed in Qiao Xi's room, and there was a shameful cry coming from the room, I heard that the cry lasted the whole night and didn't stop until dawn," Ling Xinrong said mysteriously, as if she was the only one who knew .

"I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be this! Who doesn't know about the big commotion last night, what kind of magic did you say this Qiao Xi used to confuse the emperor like this all night! What about the dragon body?" The person who spoke was a woman in her twenties, she was wearing a sky blue dress with a few delicate beaded flowers on her head, although she was not as gorgeous as the others, she also had a simple look. Beauty, she has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a small cherry mouth under her small nose, she can be regarded as a beauty of the generation, she is Sun Xueyi, she is a beauty, she has been favored by Sima Bo twice, when she said Qiao Xi I was so jealous, who didn't know that Qiao Xi's current identity was a court lady, but as long as she stayed with Sima Bo, she would recover her identity one day. If Qiao Xi regained her identity, it would be even more difficult for them to climb up the ladder You know, it was because Qiao Xi was imprisoned that they had a chance to be favored. Now that Qiao Xi came out, would Sima Bo still favor them?

"I'm jealous, I'm jealous just like that, what do you have to be jealous, because it's the empress who should be jealous, yesterday the emperor personally sent the empress back to the palace, and then left again, and went to a court lady's room, how can you call the empress so embarrassing! I don’t know what the queen thinks and thinks, but if I hang myself, forget it, ha ha!” Ling Xinrong covered her mouth and smiled softly, now her biggest enemy is Li Jingsu, as long as she ascends the throne of the queen, is she afraid that Qiao Xi will not get rid of her? ?

"My sisters are so leisurely! Especially sister Ling, the emperor asked her to help me take care of the harem. I don't have time to pay my respects to my palace. Why are you talking in your sleep so early in the morning in the imperial garden? I think Ling Sister Concubine has not woken up yet! She even dared to gossip about the Emperor and Queen, I don’t know if the Emperor knew what Concubine Ling said just now, how would he think about Sister Ling’s dream talk today,” Li Jingsu looked seriously at the sitting The three women in the pavilion spoke in a prestige tone.

The people in the pavilion included Sun Xueyi, Ling Xinrong, and Wang Yun who hadn't spoken all this time. When they heard Li Jingsu's voice, they immediately stood up and saluted Li Jingsu. Leave a way for Li Jingsu to enter the pavilion.

With a straight face, Li Jingsu looked at the three people kneeling on the ground and said, "Get up!" After speaking, he stepped into the pavilion, then walked to the round table carved in stone and sat down. Shui Furong followed behind Li Jingsu, Seeing that Li Jingsu sat down, she wisely did not sit down, but chose to stand beside Li Jingsu.

The faces of the three stood up with different colors. Ling Xinrong lowered her head and cursed secretly in her heart, whether she would come sooner or later, she came at this time, and Sun Xueyi's face was pale with fright. If she is humble, she is afraid that Li Jingsu will throw her into the cold palace in a fit of anger, and her life will be over.

Only Wang Yun was holding the fan that she always had all year round, shaking it slowly, with a calm face, as if she didn't see the anger on Li Jingsu's face at all, because she didn't say anything, so naturally she wouldn't feel guilty.

"Everyone is an old man in the palace. Don't you know the rules in the palace? Qiao Xi used to be an imperial concubine. The emperor is a person who misses old love. It is normal for him to go to Qiao Xi. If you sisters want to get The emperor's favor must be based on one's own ability, don't say things that hurt others or not yourself, lest you not get the emperor's favor, and instead end up with your life," Li Jingsu said with a warning, if she doesn't take Put on airs of a queen, in this harem, there is really no one who takes her seriously.

Ling Xinrong and Sun Xueyi immediately said in unison: "The concubine would like to follow the instructions of the empress." Ling Xinrong suddenly realized that even though she held the power in the harem, she still had to act according to Li Jingsu's face, which made her I want to get the position of queen even more in my heart.

"Okay, I'm tired too, so you can enjoy the flowers slowly!" Li Jingsu really didn't want to see that they were acting differently, so she got up and left.

At this time, the morning court is more lively than the harem. Sima Bo is sitting majestically on the dragon chair. What was different before was that behind the bead curtain beside the Sima Bolong chair was an unexpected guest, that was the Empress Dowager Lu Jiao.

At this time, the person standing at the back of the civil servants came to the middle and said: "My Majesty, there were thieves in the palace last night. Lord Lu made great contributions in protecting the imperial seal. I suggest that Lord Lu be rewarded."

Sima Bo glanced at Lu Hui, then nodded and said, "Lu Aiqing not only protected the most important national seal last night, but also sent heavy troops to guard the Palace of Heart and Compassion to protect the safety of the Empress Dowager. I decided to reward 1000 taels of gold. , ten beauties, queen mother, you think this is good," he turned his head to ask for Lu Jiao's opinion, but there was a huge conspiracy hidden deep in his eyes.

"Everything is subject to the emperor's arrangement." Lu Jiao came here today for a purpose, she wanted to use this opportunity to pull Xue Hu down, she wanted to weaken Sima Bo's power in the court.

"Your Majesty thinks that Master Lu's great achievements will not only be rewarded, but also promoted to rank. Since Master Lu has protected the most important thing in our country, so that our country of Yusi can be safe and peaceful, I suggest that Master Lu be named Marquis of Wan'an," Mo Xing stood at the forefront of the civil servants and spoke at this critical moment. He is the mastermind of this debate today.

Sima Bo looked at Mo Xing, and saw that Mo Xing was serious. He and Mo Xing grew up together, and there are some things that don't need to be said clearly. The other party wanted to do something, "Okay, according to Mo Aiqing's performance, I will make Lu Hui the Marquis of Wan'an." Without thinking, he agreed to Mo Xing's words. Sima Bo's move made all the ministers present Understand how important Mo Xing's words are in the court. The key is that Sima Bo obeys Mo Xing's words. Of course, many ministers are jealous.

Lu Hui himself was also taken aback. He made great contributions, but he didn't need to be named a marquis. Mo Xing, Xue Hu, and many other officials who fought against Sima Bo beat the country, and none of them were named marquises. This made him feel an unprecedented panic. Seeing that Lu Hui was standing there without any response, Lu Jiao immediately said in a deep voice, "Lu Aiqing, don't hesitate to thank you, Aijia thinks you are happy and silly!" She didn't know what medicine Sima Bo bought in the gourd , but as long as the military power in Lu Hui's hands is still there, no matter what Feng Luhui does, she will not object.

After Lu Jiao's reminder, Lu Hui came to his senses, and immediately knelt on the ground, "I thank the Lord Long En, long live the emperor, long live the emperor," he didn't have a smile on his face, and he didn't feel the joy of being promoted.

Sima Bo smiled and said: "Lu Aiqing is flat, you are the first minister of our Yusi Kingdom to be enfeoffed as a marquis. From now on, you will do your best for the country and benefit the people." His current expression and tone are completely full of The good emperor, no one knows what he is thinking?No one knows what will happen next?However, many sensitive ministers felt that something big might happen.

"Please rest assured, your majesty, I will never disappoint the emperor or the people," Lu Hui kowtowed to Sima Bo, then stood up and returned to his seat.

Seeing that none of the ministers spoke, Sima Bo glanced at Mo Xing and said, "Dear dear ministers, if you have something to do, make an announcement early, and if you have nothing to do, you will retire from the court." He knew that Mo Xing was silent and was waiting for an opportunity, and he was also waiting.

All the ministers still did not speak, and Mo Xing began to worry in his heart. If no one spoke, what would happen to his plan? How could he let Lu Hui be granted the title in vain? At the same time, Lu Jiao's voice came from behind the bead curtain.

"One of the emperor's rewards and punishments is clear. If you have meritorious service, you must be rewarded. If you have done something wrong, you must be punished. I would like to ask, where is General Xue, who was the general of the five tigers last night?" Lu Jiao wanted to ask in a deep voice. How could he give up this great opportunity to move to Xue Hu, as long as Xue Hu fell, wouldn't all the military power fall into Lu Hui's hands?In this way, she is one step closer to the throne.

As soon as Lu Jiao said this, Sima Xiao's face changed, and he looked at Sima Bo. He had long felt that the anger in the court today was wrong, and Lu Jiao had never listened to politics behind the curtain when he was in court. Why did he come to the court without discussing it with him? Who is behind this manipulating all this? Why did Sima Bo agree that Lu Jiao listened to the government behind the curtain today? He suddenly realized that there was a huge conspiracy in it, but things had developed to the point where At this point, he can only keep silent to see how things develop.

Xue Hu was suddenly named, he was a little puzzled, but he knew that being called by Lu Jiao was definitely not a good thing, he went to the middle and bowed to Sima Bo and Lu Jiao and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, my minister last night" He suddenly stopped talking Oh my god, what should he say when he took pictures of the small room where Qiao Xi lived in heavy guards last night.
