The queen sat aside with a cold face, her eyes fell on the teacup in front of her, and the waves were still undecided.

"Empress, I didn't expect Concubine Zhao to escape so easily, and so did the Empress Dowager. Obviously, Empress is her own niece, but she just helped an outsider!" Concubine Qi poured down a cup of tea angrily. Only then did Li's anger be suppressed a little bit, she never expected that their plan, which had been prepared for so long, would be thwarted by Concubine Zhao.

"Is this what you should say?" Hearing Concubine Qi's words, the coldness in her eyes deepened, her voice was icy cold, and she swung her arm vigorously, and the teacup fell to the ground, and her body was crushed to pieces. .

There was silence in the room, everyone was too frightened to speak, Concubine Qi, who had never seen the queen get angry, shrank aside in fright, and did not dare to speak, the queen raised her head and looked at her coldly, with a sharp look in her eyes As if it was going to pull her into the abyss of hell, she trembled, and managed to avoid the eyes of the queen, but she could still feel the fear that made her feel invisible.

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Jian Qiu immediately knelt down in front of the Queen, and persuaded softly.

Perhaps it was because Jian Qiu's words really brought back the queen's sanity, she gradually calmed down, looking at the fragments of the tea cup that fell on the ground, she breathed a sigh of relief, a sneer appeared on her face, Said, "Can you drink what the queen mother wants to do? As long as she has no evidence, even if she finds out, it doesn't matter!"

After listening to the Queen's words, Concubine Qi was a little horrified, "Your Majesty, what do you mean the Queen Mother already knew that this matter was planned by us?" Now, she can no longer bet on the future of the third elder brother.

The queen looked at her eagerness, and said with a cold smile, "Why are you so anxious, as long as the queen mother can't find any evidence, there is nothing to worry about. Who can prove that we did this thing!"

Concubine Qi was still a little worried, with a worried face, "But, if the Empress Dowager finds out about this from that little maid, what should we do?"

"Know? How do you know?" The queen pretended to be puzzled, "She won't say it. For her parents and her younger brother, she knows what to say and what not to say, and soon she won't say it anymore. Any word!"

Concubine Qi covered her mouth, looked at the queen in disbelief, and stammered, "Your Majesty, what do you mean... is... she... is going to die!"

"Why do you look like this?" The queen raised her eyebrows, and looked at Concubine Qi suspiciously, "She gave false testimony, and she will die sooner or later, now it's just a matter of getting rid of it sooner!"

Concubine Qi was still a little hard to accept, she bit her lip and didn't dare to speak again, she was afraid, afraid that the queen would treat her like that little maid, she knew much more than that little maid, the queen looked at her With that cautious look, there was only a sneer on his face.

There was silence in the house.

At this time, a little palace maid came in, and she rushed to the queen and concubine Qi, and said, "The empress, the concubine Qi, the girl Zhuxi who is beside the empress came to summon her, and asked the empress to rush to Cining immediately. See you at the Palace!"

The empress and concubine Qi were startled, they looked at each other without saying anything, but saw panic in each other's eyes.

"Jianqiu, let's go!" The queen stood up slowly, holding Jianqiu's hand, her face was calm, and there was no trace of panic, Concubine Qi sat quietly where she was, if it wasn't for the handkerchief on her hand It might have been a good disguise if it hadn't been held so tightly.

It wasn't until the queen left that Concubine Qi suddenly withdrew her tense nerves. She swallowed her saliva, and a sense of fear came over in an instant. There was only one thought left in her mind, and the queen mother knew it.

"How could you be so reckless today? You are about to scare me out of my heart!" Mei Zhuang patted Ling Rong's palm in dissatisfaction, and complained while rubbing his chest.

"Indeed, empress, what you did today was reckless. If you contradict the queen like this, if you make a mistake, it will be a land of eternal doom!" Xin Gui was also a little uneasy, and she was still in doubt. Concubine Zhao fell out of favor, and her result would not be much better than Concubine Zhao's. Since the queen has made such calculations, she must have a thorough plan.

Her result would only be worse than Concubine Zhao's, not better than hers. Fortunately, Concubine Zhao almost fell for their trick today, but she was not really convicted again. This is already very lucky.

Ling Rong smiled lightly, and waved for the little maid to serve tea. Seeing that she was still smiling, Mei Zhuang also became a little angry, and said angrily, "You have the nerve to laugh, we both will be killed by you." Scared to death!"

Ling Rong stretched out his hand to hold the fingers of Mei Zhuang and Xin Gui, and said earnestly, "I'm just laughing, I still have two good sisters, so I won't be betrayed by everyone! With you, even if I am convicted today, I will Don't be afraid!"

"Why are you talking nonsense?" Mei Zhuang frowned, dissatisfied, "If something happens to you, what will Hong Sheng and Rong Hua do? They are only one year old, and their blood is considered noble. Once something happens to you , who else in the palace can tolerate their existence, then they will be the target of public criticism!"

"I know!" Hearing the lesson from Mei Zhuang, Ling Rong was not annoyed, but just nodded lightly, indicating that he knew, "I know about this, Xingui told me about it when he knew about it..."

"Then why didn't you tell me? Is it because you don't trust me?" Mei Zhuang couldn't wait to hear what she said next, the feeling of being concealed made her feel like being slapped hard by the closest person, humiliated and painful .

Seeing that she was in a strange mood, Ling Rong quickly reached out to grab her wrist, and said anxiously, "We don't distrust you, sister, have you ever thought about what you can do even if we tell you? It’s just that one more person will only add to the troubles, so it’s better to keep a low profile!”

Mei Zhuang was a little stunned by her series of words, she couldn't help asking herself, if she really knew about this, what could she do, but after thinking about it, she found that even if she knew about it, things, she couldn't and couldn't do anything.

She is very clear about the rules of the harem, the weak eat the strong, and once she loses favor, she will live worse than a slave. Now that she is favored by the queen mother, she can keep her safety for a while, but what about the future?

Once the queen mother is a hundred years old, once she is old and beautiful, the harem will get more beauties, her dignity, and even her life will be trampled on by others.

Ling Rong's words completely awakened her. Under such circumstances, even a word of intercession seemed very powerless. Instead of going on like this, let go of her self-esteem and fight for once. Will complain that I never fought for it.

"I'm fine, let go!" Mei Zhuang came back to his senses, looked at Ling Rong's hand on his wrist, and said lightly, Ling Rong slowly let go of his fingers, and she saw that in Mei Zhuang's clear eyes , there are some more things, and these things have successfully changed Meizhuang's original state and turned into a living person.

"You're right, so what if I know?" Mei Zhuang said with a wry smile, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

Looking at Mei Zhuang's appearance, Ling Rong was a little worried, reached out and clenched her cold fingers, and silently gave her strength to support her, Xingui worriedly said, "Sister..."

Mei Zhuang tightened Lingrong's hand, and gave Xingui a comforting smile, "I'm fine! I just... suddenly realized that in the palace, my strength is really insignificant! So much so that I have to attach Living by others, I used to think not to fight was my best choice, but now, I find that I can only fight! Otherwise, the people around me will just leave one after another.”

Ling Rong pursed her lips tightly and didn't speak, she knew what Mei Zhuang was thinking, it's not that she didn't want to tell Mei Zhuang about it, but what's the use of Mei Zhuang telling her in such a depressed manner?Today, because she was well prepared in her heart, she didn't show any weakness in dealing with it. It's not that she didn't think about avoiding disaster, but this time the calculation cannot be avoided, nor can she be avoided.

In the eyes of others, she was already a cowardly and incompetent woman who was favored by the emperor. Once her strength and favor were out of proportion, conspiracy and calculation would only follow, and she had to fight back.

Xingui sat quietly on the side without opening his mouth, Mei Zhuang suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked Ling Rong, "What will that little maid do?"

Ling Rong glanced at her indifferently, and wrote lightly, "She is under the empress dowager, and the empress dowager is the empress's aunt, and she will not allow anyone who endangers the empress' status to exist!"

Mei Zhuang understood Ling Rong's words very clearly, that little maid could not survive, it was rare, she didn't have any pity in her heart, she was just indifferent, the ridiculous thing is, how much she valued every life in the past, but now she is with other people Human beings are just as indifferent to life.

Xingui's face was a little pale, but she didn't have the slightest sense of fear. She changed the subject and said, "Mother, don't be so reckless next time. If the queen mother is not here today, the queen insists that this matter has something to do with you. I have committed a crime for you, and even if the emperor comes back, it will not be so easy to retract the confession!"

Mei Zhuang nodded, "Indeed, if the queen mother is not present today, once the queen's death is related to you, it will be troublesome!"

Ling Rong fiddled with the tea leaves in the teacup, and said with a smile, "That little maid has always been by my side and has never been in contact with the nobles of Fucha. Although the powder in the box has musk, I still need to use it! But today Has Mrs. Fucha ever used it? The reason for her miscarriage is not because of that box of powder mixed with musk!"

"However, these are just your one-sided remarks. The emperor is not in the palace now, how she will frame the empress is not enough!" Xin Gui frowned.

"She won't, and she can't! Don't forget, Concubine Hua is among the people who are going today!" Ling Rong took a sip of the tea soup and winked playfully.

Mei Zhuang raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully, "Will she help us?" Mei Zhuang was not as relieved as Ling Rong, because she knew that Concubine Hua hated her just as she hated Concubine Hua.

"Why not? I think she doesn't mind adding a little more trouble to the Queen!" Ling Rong smiled ambiguously, Mei Zhuang and Xin often looked at each other, Ling Rong seemed to know something they didn't know.
