Queen's scheming

Chapter 168 Calculation ([-])

Shen Qingyi was also too impulsive just now, and now she came to her senses, knowing that confronting the Queen Mother like this would not be of any benefit to herself or Yu Lian, so she quickly knelt down, lowered her eyes and said: "Queen Mother, this girl Yu Lian used to be in front of the minister. When the concubine fell off the cliff, she saved the life of the concubine. The concubine also believed in her character and would never do such a lowly thing. Please also ask the Queen Mother to see clearly. The concubine is now pregnant. Don’t do anything wrong.”

The Empress Dowager heard Shen Qingyi talking about her pregnancy, and her face turned pale. Just as Shen Qingyi said, at this moment, no matter what Shen Qingyi did wrong, she couldn't get angry with Shen Qingyi. If the fetal gas was moved, the Queen Mother would regret it Li Tianyou might have a rift with her too.But now, in front of the concubines of the sixth palace, Tang Aoxue always has to give an explanation.

The Empress Dowager waved her hand lightly, and immediately a nanny stepped forward to help Shen Qingyi up.

The Empress Dowager turned around and sat on the head, glanced at the concubines present, and said slowly: "It turns out that this girl has saved the Queen's life, no wonder the Queen is so protective of her."

Tang Aoxue's eyes almost stared straight, the Queen Mother's temper has changed too fast, she was still furious just now, it only took a while to calm down?Shen Qingyi just said a word, and the queen mother wanted to go down the slope?The concubines and Tang Aoxue also had the same thoughts, if the queen mother is so easy to fool, they don't have to be so respectful to the queen mother on weekdays.

The Empress Dowager knew what everyone was thinking, she gently pulled up the brocade cloak with the color of blessing and longevity pattern, comforted Shen Qingyi and said: "Empress, it's not that Aijia said you, now that you have a body, your heart will inevitably become softer. Let these servants take advantage of the loopholes. As far as Aijia knows, the two first-class maids in front of you were all brought back from outside the palace. After all, they are not as innocent as those carefully selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. My girl, look, this has brought back those messy things outside the palace, if you don't punish them severely, it will break the rules in our palace!"

The Queen Mother had already persuaded Shen Qingyi with soft words, but Shen Qingyi only wanted to get Yulian out of her way at the moment, no matter what she said, she couldn't abandon Yulian.

"Queen Mother, Yu Lian has been with the concubine for more than two years. The concubine absolutely believes that she can't do such a thing. Although the things were found on her, what she said may not be unreasonable. The emperor is a What kind of temperament, Empress Dowager, you are very clear, the emperor was greedy for drinks at the palace banquet that day, and drank a few more, but it is not so absurd. If it is true as Yu Lian said, then the things are originally from Zhaoyang Palace? "Shen Qingyi still hopes to persuade the Queen Mother with facts.

Tang Aoxue saw that the queen mother was a little loose, and she said sharply: "Queen, what are you if you are not a bloody person? If the object is really a concubine's concubine, the concubine will just kill Yu Lian with a stick, why bother to make a fuss like this?" Open? Besides, concubines can't get these kinds of things to buy, but I heard that Yu Lian will go out of the palace to buy things every now and then. The things in this palace are not picked up by the empress, so why do you use them often? Went out of the palace to buy it?"

The implication of Tang Aoxue's words was that Yulian was going out of the palace to do something shameful, and it was right for the concubines to think carefully, Tang Aoxue had no chance to go out of the palace often.

Shen Qingyi looked at Tang Aoxue with judgment in her eyes, raised her eyebrows slightly and said: "Concubine Xue's vision is very wide, even Yulian knows when she leaves the palace every now and then!"

Shen Qingyi is questioning Tang Aoxue, she is a second-rank concubine and she is also concerned about the entry and exit of people from Ningsu Palace. If she says that she has no other thoughts in the next day, no one will believe it!

The Empress Dowager didn't think about anything else. She knew about Shen Qingyi having a vegetarian meal outside the palace. It was also appropriate for Yulian to go out of the palace from time to time to help Shen Qingyi take care of the shop. If you don't go out of the palace to take a look, even the queen mother won't be at ease.

Shen Qingyi saw Tang Aoxue lowered her head with some guilty conscience, and said with a sneer, "What if that object really belongs to Zhaoyang Palace?"

The Queen Mother doesn't know what to say at the moment, Shen Qingyi and Tang Aoxue each have their own reasons, Tang Aoxue said clearly, if she kept this thing privately, she would not say it so blatantly, what Shen Qingyi meant was Tang Aoxue got this object on purpose and framed it for the maid beside her.The Empress Dowager has been in the palace for many years, and she has seen such things before, and she was a little annoyed for a while. It's not that she couldn't figure it out, but even if she figured it out, no matter what the situation is, she can't afford it now!
Li Tianyou destroyed the Duke of Fengguo, and the military power of the three major kingdoms has also been reduced. If Tang Aoxue is found to be responsible for this incident, Tang Aoxue must be punished, which means that the government of Zhenguo will be slapped in the face , if Shen Qingyi did it, it would be even more difficult to say, Shen Qingyi is now pregnant with Li Tianyou's only flesh and blood, the Queen Mother has to be scruples no matter what.

A gust of cold wind blew in, diluting the warmth in the hall. Li Tianyou was found by Yuhe just after he went to court, and he heard Xiao Anzi's report along the way. Before that, he felt strange how he could be so out of control that night , I thought it was because of drunkenness, but now that I think about it, someone must have been drugged.

Li Tianyou didn't stay for a moment, walking towards the palace, he said: "Shoot all the people in Zhaoyang Palace who are in the second and lower ranks!"

Tang Aoxue couldn't stand it anymore, what Li Tianyou was doing, she was clearly telling the sixth palace concubine that she drugged Li Tianyou, and Zhaoyang Palace was responsible for all the crimes.

The Empress Dowager also felt that Li Tianyou was too partial, not to mention other things, but only said that Yu Lian visited Zhaoyang Palace at night, this crime cannot be lightly forgiven!

As soon as Li Tianyou sat down firmly, Tang Aoxue knelt down and said with a straight face: "I don't know what the whole Zhaoyang Palace did wrong, and it provoked the emperor's fury. The person who visited Zhaoyang Palace at night was in front of the queen Yu Lian, those filthy things were also found from Yu Lian, what's wrong with the palace servants under the concubines?"

Li Tianyou glanced at Tang Aoxue, Tang Aoxue knew what was going on that night, but Tang Aoxue was so arrogant, she probably wouldn't use such indecent methods, and the palace servants in front of her were also very picky The carefully selected ones were not carefully trained by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or were born in the family of the Duke of Zhen, and they probably would not use such low-grade things. Yes, after all, masters and servants are both honored, and if those palace people want to live a good life, Tang Aoxue has to be favored!
The reason why Tang Aoxue dared to ask Li Tianyou like that was because that person told her that Li Tianyou would never believe that this matter was done by Tang Aoxue, and she could question it confidently. On her, the concubine Xue, who is as lonely as a plum blossom, and that person guesses that Li Tianyou is an emperor, no matter what, he will not admit it in front of everyone. He was drugged that night. Such a thing, even for ordinary men He wouldn't admit it, let alone Li Tianyou!

What Li Tianyou said next shocked the concubines of the sixth palace.
