Queen is the top

The matter of Changle Palace finally reached Cheng Yingzong's ears verbatim. He was annoyed that Concubine Hui relied on his own imperial decree and wanted to arrest the queen's confidant for interrogation, which completely violated his original intention.

Cheng Yingzong was angry in his heart, and he felt more and more guilty towards the queen, and naturally he was even more displeased with Concubine Hui.

When Cheng Yingzong heard about the fact that the pure beauty married the female official, he was also secretly shocked. Why would the female official sacrifice her life for the real murderer?

Concubine Hui finally regained her favor and eased the relationship with Cheng Yingzong, but because of the Changle Palace incident, Cheng Yingzong treated her indifferently and indifferently.

Concubine Hui was annoyed, and she didn't know who was gossiping in front of Cheng Yingzong. The investigation couldn't find any results, so she could only push everything to He Jingyi and the queen. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she decided to take revenge on them.

Concubine Hui thought about it, there was no way to attack the queen, and He Jingyi didn't dare to do anything, so after much deliberation, she turned her attention to Shi Yuqing.

Concubine Hui called her teacher, Qiao Ting, "The time has come when I need you. Go and help me with something. It will be to your benefit if it is done."

When Shi Qiaoting heard this, she said happily in her heart: "My lady, please tell me, I will definitely take care of it."

Concubine Hui nodded, "I know that you and Shi Yuqing are siblings, but He Jingyi has been bullying me and the eldest prince for too long, and it's hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart if you don't say that. You also know what I called you into the palace back then. , now I don’t act like that hypocrite, I just ask if you can help me deal with Shi Yuqing.”

Shi Qiaoting rolled her eyes, and quickly confessed her loyalty: "Don't worry, my lady, I have always been at odds with Shi Yuqing. His sister, mother, and the old lady often bullied my servant, my brother and aunt at home. This servant has long thought about it." To relieve the hatred in my heart, I only suffer from no chance to strike."

Concubine Hui and Shi Qiaoting hit it off immediately, and Shi Qiaoting babbled, looking like she was willing to ruin her heart for Concubine Hui, causing Concubine Hui to wave her hand impatiently, "You only need to help me with this matter, and the rest is fine. Needless to say."

Shi Qiaoting was interrupted by her, she said yes with embarrassment on her face, and then asked: "What will my lady do if she wants a servant?"

Concubine Hui said: "No matter how favored Shi Yuqing is, he is a man's wife after all. If he is a man's wife, he needs to avoid suspicion with the women in the harem, but if he has anything to do with the women in the harem, tell me, will He Jingyi still be like this now? Pamper him?"

Shi Qiaoting's eyes flashed brightly when she heard the words, she was very happy in her heart, and said excitedly: "My lady is wise, such a good idea!"

Concubine Hui curled the corners of her lips proudly, "He Jingyi has bullied me and the First Prince over and over again, then I will let him taste what it feels like to be betrayed by his lover and lose face."

An excited smile appeared on Shi Qiaoting's face unconsciously, and she began to lust after Shi Yuqing fell out of favor, she had the opportunity to approach He Jingyi and become his favorite concubine.

Concubine Hui looked at her calculating face, a trace of disgust appeared in her eyes, and then quickly disappeared, she wiped the tip of her nose with a handkerchief, and said: "Tomorrow, when He Jingyi is not in the East Palace, go to the general Yuqing leads me to the Cuiyu Pavilion on the west side of the imperial garden, and I will make proper arrangements."

Shi Qiaoting was taken aback, "Cuiyu Pavilion seems to be Ru Jieyu's palace."

Concubine Hui sneered, "Of course it's hers. She's a duplicitous person who followed me and secretly sent messages to Zhen Zhaoyi to win over He Mingbo. If that's the case, then I'll teach her a lesson."

Shi Qiaoting hurriedly echoed: "Young lady is wise, this villain must be taught a lesson."

Concubine Hui nodded, and shook the handkerchief, "You must remember to lure Shi Yuqing to Cuiyu Pavilion tomorrow, and it will be in your own interest to settle this matter."

When Shi Qiaoting heard it was good, her eyes lit up again, and she said happily, "Yes, Concubine Hui."

Early the next morning, Shi Qiaoting calculated the time, picked a time when He Jingyi was not in the East Palace, and hurried to Zichen Palace.

Shi Qiaoting walked to the gate of Zichen Palace, paused, raised her chin and was about to go in, but was stopped by the guards of Thousand Wolf Guards at the gate.

Shi Qiaoting frowned, crossed her hips and said, "Do you guys dare to stop me even if you know who I am?"

The guards of the Thousand Wolf Guards looked straight ahead and did not put her in their eyes, and repeated what they said just now, "Idlers are not allowed to enter at will, what do you have to pass on for me?"

Shi Qiaoting immediately said angrily: "You are so brave, I am the elder sister of the Crown Princess, you dare to stop me, but you will die."

The guard of Qianlang Guard still looked on, ignoring her nonsense, and said to his fellow guards: "You stay here and I will report to Eunuch Lu."

Seeing him going in, Shi Qiaoting wanted to follow him. She just took two steps forward, and with a "shua", the two long halberds immediately crossed and hung down, standing in front of her, scaring her to take a few steps back. Dare to make another mistake easily.

Lu Fu walked into the Shangshu hall, and glanced at Shi Yuqing who was concentrating on reading a book and was about to step back. When he noticed, he stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the female officer Qiao Ting next to Concubine Hui wants to see you."

Shi Yuqing held the book in both hands, and was taken aback when she heard the words, "What did she ask me for?"

Standing beside him, Zhutong and Qiuzhi also turned their heads curiously. They both knew Shi Qiaoting's identity, but they just followed Concubine Hui, which made people dislike it, not to mention Shi Qiaoting's sour face. , was mean to others, and had always been at odds with Shi Qiao Huang, but at this time she came to see Shi Yuqing without knowing what she was going to do, the two of them looked at each other without saying a word, keeping each other's attention.

Lu Fu shook his head: "Your servant doesn't know, she just said something close to her and she wants to tell His Highness privately."

Shi Yuqing turned her head slightly, remembering what Shi Qiaohuang had repeatedly told him, she said to Lu Fu, "Tell her I'm not feeling well today, so I can't see her."

Lu Fu nodded, and left the hall to order someone to reply. After a while, the eunuch outside the hall reported to Lu Fu again that Shi Qiaoting, as the sister of the concubine's mother's family, must see Shi Yuqing.

Lu Fu frowned impatiently, with a look of disgust in his eyes, hesitated for a while, and reported to Shi Yuqing according to the rules.

"Let her go back, I won't see you." Shi Yuqing said decisively to Lu Fu, "If she makes trouble again, send someone to send her back to Concubine Hui."

Zhu Tong and Qiu Zhi accidentally looked at him, Shi Yuqing has always been very soft-hearted, never held grudges, he would go along with others' soft words, how could he be so decisive today.

Lu Fu nodded and said with a smile, "I'll save you, slave."

Zhutong couldn't help but asked Shi Yuqing, "Why doesn't Your Highness see her?"

Shi Yuqing's thinking is very simple, one is Shi Qiaohuang's repeated instructions, and the other is that Shi Qiaoting is now the person next to Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui has made things difficult for the Queen several times, and even involved Master Qiao Huang, Shi Yuqing has long been angry in her heart , thinking that everyone has different ways and does not seek each other, why should we meet each other if there is nothing to do, and said lightly: "There is no need to meet."

Zhutong and Qiuzhi nodded in admiration, both were happy that Shi Yuqing thought so.

Shi Qiaoting waited outside the Zichen Palace for a long while, and finally only waited for the guards to coldly refuse. Hearing that Shi Yuqing refused to see her, Shi Qiaoting was stunned for a while. In her eyes, Shi Yuqing was just a softie. Persimmon, who called herself Second Sister when she was in the mansion, now refuses to meet her.

This made Shi Qiaoting panic. Shi Yuqing didn't see her, so naturally she couldn't complete the task assigned by Concubine Hui, so what about those rewards?

Shi Qiaoting wanted to say more later, the guard stamped the halberd in his hand, and said coldly to her: "Please leave quickly, aunt, if you continue to mess around, I will personally send aunt back to the palace."

Shi Qiaoting wanted to curse again, but the guard aimed his halberd at her with a whoosh, scaring her almost to the ground, she managed to stabilize her body, and could only shut up in embarrassment at the guard's cold expression.

Shi Qiaoting thought of Concubine Hui's harsh methods, and she was a little afraid. Concubine Hui had already set up a plan, but she couldn't complete the mission, and returning to the palace empty-handed would have to be blamed by Concubine Hui.

When Shi Qiaoting was in a dilemma, He Jingyi's sedan chair was slowly walking towards this side. Shi Qiaoting raised her eyes and saw it, and immediately thought of doing something wrong.

She intentionally put on a coquettish posture and walked slowly towards He Jingyi's sedan chair, and suddenly fell to the ground, yelling "Ouch", the bearer who was lifting his feet avoided it, and was startled by her, the sedan chair was almost out of reach. stable.

Yun Donghai hurriedly asked the bearer to stop the sedan chair, and asked He Jingyi in the sedan chair if he was surprised. He Jingyi was very good at lightness kung fu, and he was not affected in the slightest. He sat very still, and said calmly, "What's wrong."

Yun Donghai was about to blame the bearer, but the lead bearer hurriedly said: "This aunt suddenly fell here, and this servant accidentally slipped her hand."

Before they finished speaking, Yun Donghai had already walked up to the sedan chair, glanced at Qiao Ting and scolded the teacher loudly: "You are so brave to stop the sedan chair of His Highness the Prince, come and send her to Gongzheng to press the palace." Dispose of it according to regulations!"

Shi Qiaoting hurriedly shouted: "I'm wronged! Your Highness, I just couldn't walk and fell accidentally. I didn't mean to disturb His Highness's sedan chair." She slightly raised her head to look at the figure behind the gauze curtain.

He Jingyi lifted the gauze curtain of the sedan chair slightly with his fingers, and glanced at her. Shi Qiaoting hurriedly showed a delicate appearance of pear blossoms and rain in order to win his affection, but unexpectedly the gauze curtain only opened a little gap and let it go .

He Jingyi's icy voice came from behind the gauze curtain: "Send it to Si Zhengsi, and the punishment will be thirty."

Shi Qiaoting broke out in a cold sweat in shock. Si Zhengsi's torture stick was two inches thick and five feet long. If the thirty sticks were to go down, she would not know that she would still be alive. She only wanted to seduce He Jingyi, but unexpectedly provoked The cane punishment scared her so much that she stood there in a daze without saying a word.

Yun Donghai responded and ordered the internal supervisor behind him to do things. Shi Qiaoting woke up after being dragged away, and immediately shouted: "Your Highness, spare your life! Your Highness, spare your life! This servant didn't do it on purpose!"

He Jingyi ignored him, waved his hand, and allowed Donghai to understand, and ordered the bearer to lift up the sedan chair and drive him to Zichen Palace.

Shi Qiaoting's shout got further and further away, He Jingyi turned his face to Yun Donghai and said, "Don't tell the Crown Princess about this."

Yun Donghai hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes! Your Highness."
