Queen's scheming

Chapter 51 Plum Appreciation Banquet ([-])
"Concubine Xuegui, don't be too arrogant. This is the entrance of the imperial garden. In less than a quarter of an hour, the emperor and the little princes of Chuyue Kingdom will be seated here. Do you want the emperor to see your current appearance?" Min Ronghua's words, in Shen Qingwan's view, were just protecting herself and threatening Concubine Xue, but Yun Lu behind Tang Aoxue heard something different.This Min Ronghua was clearly reminding Concubine Xue Gui.

Yun Lu lightly stroked Tang Aoxue's cuffs embroidered with goose-yellow magnolia branches on a moon-white background, and said softly, "Master, your sleeves are stained with a little dust. This servant wiped it clean for you. You must not dirty your jade hands, master."

Only then did Tang Aoxue let go of her hand. Yun Lu was right, for someone like Shen Qingwan, it wasn't worth getting her hands dirty.

Min Ronghua quickly stepped forward to help Shen Qingwan examine it, but within a short while, two purple marks were pinched on Shen Qingwan's cheeks, which shows how much strength Tang Aoxue used.

Min Ronghua asked eagerly, "What did Shen Jieyu mean just now? Did you kill my child?"

Shen Qingwan had expected that Min Ronghua would ask, but at this moment she put on a look of extreme guilt, tears fell down like raindrops, she held Min Ronghua's hand tightly, and cried, "Sister Min , It’s all my fault, I really shouldn’t be so selfish, even if the empress forced me to death, I shouldn’t have done it to you.”

Min Ronghua froze on the spot, standing upright like a wooden sculpture.In fact, Min Ronghua didn't fall for Shen Qingwan's plan, she just wanted to win Shen Qingwan's trust, she had done everything she had to do, it just depends on how Concubine Xue Gui reacted.

As Shen Qingwan expected, Concubine Xue Gui forced her to tell the whole story without hesitation.Seeing that the time was ripe, Shen Qingwan said aggrievedly, "I didn't dare to say it, but the guilt towards Sister Min really drove me crazy. I have nightmares every day, dreaming that Sister Min's child is crying ...

All of this was forced by the empress.She had a miscarriage and lost her child, and sister Min happened to be pregnant at this time, so she believed that it was sister Min's child who killed her child, so she couldn't bear it.Seeing that I live in the same palace as Sister Min, it is convenient for me to do it, so she forced me to serve her.The empress bought Mixiang from Sister Min's side, and asked her to put the poison in the soup when Sister Guicong went to visit, and put the blame on Sister Guiconcubine, and then asked me to take advantage of the chaos to poison Mixiang to death, but I I really couldn't do anything, so I hid on the day of sister Min's accident.

Who knew that the Empress went to Yuhua Pavilion, and before entering the palace, she bumped into Mixiang and immediately ordered her to be killed with a staff.later. .Later, the empress empress knew that I knew her secret, but did not do anything for her, so she embarrassed me in public, accused me of hiding that obscene book, made all the concubines look down on me, and refused to even say a word to me, so I am Want to say, no one can tell.Not only that, but the empress still feels that it is not enough, sister Min, you are not surprised, how can I fall into the water so well?In fact, it wasn't a mistake, but the empress pushed me down, if it wasn't for my good water skills, I'm afraid I would have lost my life at this moment. "

The subtleties of what Shen Qingwan said made Concubine Xue Gui's eyebrows frowned even tighter.

Min Ronghua mourned at the right time, "I'm sorry for you, sister, but you have to bear such a big thing yourself, why didn't you tell me earlier, you and I lived together in the same palace for a while, what kind of you are you?" People, I still don't know? I definitely won't blame you. The empress is all over the world, she said it was my child who killed her emperor, so what can I say? Only my child is to blame It's just a hard life." Min Ronghua cried tears, so miserable, but she thought in her heart that Shen Qingwan said this because she wanted to be an arrow for her, pointing at the queen, she was not going to be Shen Qingwan's executioner.

Concubine Xue Gui was surprisingly calm, she didn't say a word to Shen Qingwan's words, she just said indifferently, "My concubine is one step ahead, as for the two of you, your eyes are swollen like peach pits, and you are not afraid of losing royal dignity!"

Shen Qingwan looked at Concubine Xue Gui's figure, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, she thought she would be smarter after two months of confinement, but it turned out to be nothing more than that.How could she lose her royal dignity? These almond eyes, which seemed to be crying but not crying, were her magic weapon to win.Besides, for today, she specially found Qian Tianhai and asked about Li Tianyou's preferences. After practicing for a long time, how could she return without success.

"Sister Min, you really don't blame me! Back then I wanted Mixiang to escape, and I gave her the ten ingots of gold from my dowry, but I didn't expect that she would still not escape the fate of being killed." Shen Qingwan turned around sadly. road.Min Ronghua is now her purse, she naturally wants to eradicate all hidden dangers that would cause Min Ronghua to suspect.

Min Ronghua's heart was extremely gloomy and cold, but there was a gentle smile on his face, "Of course I don't blame my sister, she has no other choice."

Yun Lu followed Tang Aoxue closely, and finally said, "Shen Jieyu is really quick-witted, crying like that, and she speaks clearly and clearly, if she is a slave, she might not even be able to complete her sentence. "

"Yeah, the blame is that Shen Jieyu is too rational. What she said seems to have been prepared, and she is waiting for my concubine to ask." Tang Aoxue glanced at Yunlu, the master and the servant The hearts of the people tacitly look at each other and smile.

Tang Aoxue looked at the lively banquet ahead, and said softly, "Yunlu, do you think Shen Jieyu will attend the banquet?"

"This servant doesn't dare to say anything, but I just heard that Shen Jieyu practiced her dancing hard a few days ago, and I don't know if it was prepared for today's banquet. I heard that she practiced the emperor's favorite "Treading on the Plum at a Moon Night." Yun Lu bowed her head and replied respectfully.As an old man in the palace, she has to watch all directions and listen to all directions at all times. If nothing else, she must always be vigilant to save her life.

"Oh? Stepping on the plum? Hongmei Aoxue, the Ministry of Internal Affairs must have prepared a set of red dance clothes for Shen Jieyu?" Tang Aoxue asked with great interest.

Yun Lu didn't know why, so she just shook her head and said, "Although the dance clothes are not taboo about bright red, the House of Internal Affairs may choose snow-white dance clothes for Shen Jieyu in order to please the empress." Shen Qingyi and Shen Qingyi Qingwan's breakup is well known to everyone, how could the Ministry of Internal Affairs give Shen Qingwan to wear the bright red color? If one is not careful and offends the queen, Shen Jieyu is nothing to dance with, and it's hard to say that they are waiters Moreover, plum blossoms are not only red, there are also many white wintersweet flowers.

Tang Aoxue twitched the corners of her lips, and said softly, "You find a way to get the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare a bunch of red dance clothes for Shen Jieyu. No matter which style Shen Jieyu chooses, remember, it must be red."

Yunlu took the order and left.Tang Aoxue turned around, looked at Shen Qingwan who was a short distance away, and murmured softly, "Shen Qingwan, do you think I'm so easy to deceive? Today I want you to taste what it's like to be played like a monkey."
