[Comprehensive] The Concubine's Counterattack Manual

Dou Yifang leaned on a pear-wood crutch in one hand, and with the help of the palace servants, she returned to the Jiaofang Hall. The unique fragrance of pepper in the hall was so strong that she fell into a dream.

Back then in Dai Kingdom, pepper and mud were used to paint the walls of the palace where she lived. It was Liu Heng who gave her a great honor. I still remember that Liu Heng promised her that he would treat her well for the rest of his life. Everything has changed, she gave birth to two sons and a daughter for Liu Heng, but she is still not as good as a crooked Shen Shi!

Sure enough, men like the new and dislike the old. When she meets a charming newcomer, she will become a thing of the past.

Lost in thought, Dou Yifang didn't notice the high threshold under her feet, she staggered and rushed forward, but fortunately, Qing Rong, the palace maid who was helping her by her side, had quick eyes and quick hands, and grabbed her body in time.

Dou Yifang breathed a sigh of relief.

Qingrong waved away the other palace people, and helped Mrs. Dou into the palace by herself, and said: "The empress has been worrying about Mrs. Shen for several days. The imperial doctor said that the eye disease has worsened, but your majesty is not nice to your empress. In front of Mrs. Shen's This servant is really wronged for the empress." Thinking of Liu Heng's attitude towards Empress Dou in Sui Yu Palace, Qing Rong, Dou's close maid, was not happy in her heart, and complained for Dou's grievances.

If someone else had said this, the cautious Dou would probably have spit out the words of scolding long ago.But these words were said by Qing Rong who had been with her for nearly 30 years.After so many years in the palace, Qing Rong is the only one who can tell her the truth.

Dou Yifang sighed softly, and said quietly: "Shen Langhua has not much time left, it is normal for His Majesty to be nervous."

"But Queen, you are still the mother of the country, how could Your Majesty..." Qing Rong paused for a moment, not daring to continue. In fact, this is not the first time His Majesty has disrespected the Queen in front of Mrs. Shen in these years.

Dou Yifang's face darkened, and said: "Go down."

The voice was soft but very serious, Qing Rong's face changed slightly, she knew that the queen was getting angry, she didn't dare to delay, she folded her sleeves and bent back, closing the palace door gently.

Although the sound of closing the door was very small, since suffering from eye disease, Dou Yifang's hearing has become extremely sensitive, and now she is the only one left in the hall, empty, remorseful, unwilling... all kinds of emotions enveloped her, on her heart A haze was cast.Dou Yifang slowly closed her eyes, recalling everything that happened today, the soreness in her heart is indescribable.

The one image she couldn't get rid of in her mind was Shen Langhua snuggling in Liu Heng's arms, Liu Heng looking at her tenderly...

Once upon a time, that warm embrace belonged to her alone.

But since suffering from eye disease, His Majesty seldom stepped into the Jiaofang Palace, and occasionally came here for the sake of the children. The Jiaofang Palace is like a gorgeous cold palace. Like a joke.

Her eye disease is getting worse day by day. The imperial doctor once said that the disease was caused by the medicine that damaged her eyes that she had taken in the early years, but no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't figure out who had the heart of a poisonous scorpion and used such a vicious Way to harm her!

When I was in Daiguo, the five family members who went there had all died suddenly. It is impossible for them to drug her based on their connections, so they can rule it out.In addition to them, there is also a acting queen. When she went to Daiguo, the queen had already given birth to two sons and was pregnant with the third prince. There is no reason to attack a beauty like her. When she gave birth to Guantao, she will be honored , the queen was also pregnant with the fourth prince, but it happened that the eldest prince died of illness at that time. How long did it take to go.The queen herself is not in good health, and she has to take care of three children. She must have no energy to deal with her, so in Daiguo, except for the daily morning meetings and New Year's Day, she has no chance to see the queen at all.

Thinking about it this way, all the old people from Dai Kingdom can be eliminated, so only the new people from Chang'an are left.

But since she entered the Jiaofang Palace, she has carried out major changes in the Han Palace many times. Those who have served the concubines of the previous dynasty will be transferred to Yongxiang to serve the concubines if they have no crimes. Door.In addition, if the newly entered palace is found to be inappropriate, or has a master secretly, the milder ones will be expelled from the palace gate, and the serious ones will be executed. At the same time, all the unclean objects found in the inner palace will be destroyed.

After several purges of iron and blood methods, the harem is now clear and bright.

Her Jiaofang Palace is as tightly guarded as Tietong, and she was once confident in her powerful means of ruling the palace.

But the words of the imperial physician made her terrified. The dignified empress was murdered and lost her eyesight. This clearly trampled on her proud wrist.

who is it?

Madam Shen?Yoon Ji?Or those family members who have endured the rain and dew but have not been graded?

After thinking about it, Dou Yifang only remembered that when Mrs. Shen entered the palace, she personally made a box of cake bait and sent it to Jiaofang Hall. After tasting a piece, he casually praised Shen Ji for her ingenuity, and then...

Thinking back to this point, Dou Yifang's gaze suddenly narrowed, her eyebrows frowned, and slowly, her fingers resting on the small table were slowly clenched into fists, with endless hatred bursting out from her cheeks: Then that bitch Shen Shi She seduced His Majesty away in her Jiaofang Palace, and within a few days, she was promoted to Madame, and she has been favored in the harem ever since.If it weren't for her having three princes, the queen's seat would be taken away by the Shen family sooner or later.

Dou Yifang collected herself and shouted: "Qingrong."

Qing Rong opened the door and came in, stood at the entrance of the hall waiting for orders, Dou Yi said, "Let the dining room make a box of bait tomorrow."

Qingrong asked in a low voice: "The queen wants to eat cake bait? The servant girl will let someone do it now."

"It's not that I want to eat it." Dou Yifang said quietly: "Tomorrow, I will send it to the Palace of Suiyu, so that they don't have to worry too much about the fillings, just the usual ones." Back then, the Shen family used the most common cakes The bait, snatched His Majesty from her palace!

Although Qingrong couldn't understand Dou Yifang's intentions, she had been serving Dou Yifang for nearly 30 years, and she also knew that it was impossible for the queen to do useless things, so she bowed down and agreed, then retreated, and directly ordered the dining room Some people will make a box of cake bait tomorrow, and they don't need too many tricks, just ordinary ones.

The people in the dining room still think it is a novelty. Cake bait is a very common snack among the people, and it is certainly not difficult to make. However, even if the queen's meal is a common thing, the people in the dining room will make sure the fillings are varied and the dishes are arranged. Use your brains and strive to have the best color, flavor and taste. This is the first time the queen has asked Aunt Qingrong to order such an unusual dish.

But since the queen has given such orders, then their slaves should follow suit.

At noon on the second day, Dou Yifang took a box of freshly baked cake bait, followed by a mighty team, and walked slowly in the direction of the Suiyu Palace.

When approaching Suiyu Palace, Dou Yifang said to Qingrong: "You pay attention to Shen's face, go back and tell me."

Qing Rong nodded, a smile appeared on Dou Yifang's originally calm face, coupled with her bright red wishful pattern makeup and brocade dress, she looked more dignified, peaceful and gentle.

When the palace servants of Suiyu Palace saw her coming, an inner eunuch shouted inside: "The empress is here—"

Then all the palace guards at the gate of Suiyu Palace fell to their knees, and Dou Yi walked in without looking sideways. Being a queen, what she enjoys the most is the feeling of thousands of people kneeling on the ground to worship her.

Entering the inner hall, Dou Yi's room vaguely saw Shen Langhua sitting up supported by someone. She probably just woke up, wearing white pajamas, and her hair was a little messy.

"But did I disturb my sister's rest?" Dou Yi's room was supported by Qing Rong and walked over, the palace servants of Suiyu Palace hurried to get the embroidered pier, and padded a cushion for her to sit down.Dou Yifang smiled and said: "I just came to talk to my sister, and I haven't had much chance after all these years."

Lang Hua thought in his heart: It is indeed disturbing...

She had just taken the medicine, and when she was sleepy, Dou Yifang came.But seeing her smiling, Lang Hua couldn't tell the truth, so he could only endure his drowsiness, and said with a smile, "I've slept all morning, my bones are soft, and the queen came just in time."

"It's been 20 years since my younger sister entered the palace. My younger sister is so beautiful, I feel ashamed of myself."

Shen Langhua replied politely: "Langhua's willow appearance, how dare you call it 'national beauty'? On the contrary, the queen's national beauty is heavenly, her beauty is still the same, just like back then."

Dou Yifang was very happy when her appearance was praised by others, she covered her mouth and smiled and said: "I am old, and when I woke up in the morning, I saw a few gray hairs on my temples, I couldn't see it by shaking, my sister is still young , like flowers and jade, I can't blame His Majesty for coming to the Palace of Suiyu every day."

Shen Langhua smiled at the corner of his mouth and did not speak. Dou Yifang continued: "By the way, I still remember that when my sister entered the palace, she gave me a box of cake bait when she came to visit Jiaofang Palace. The taste, now that I think about it, it still tastes like me. It’s endlessly memorable.”

Hearing this, Shen Langhua frowned.

pastry……

With a wave of Dou Yifang's hand, Qing Rong standing behind her opened the food box in her hand and presented it to Shen Langhua. Dou Yifang said with a smile: "I thought about it today, so I asked the dining room to make some. Come and have dinner with my sister."

Shen Langhua looked along, and immediately caught his breath in his throat, coughing uncomfortably.

Her impolite reaction not only attracted the attention of Qing Rong who had been paying attention to her expression, but also made Dou Yifang hear something strange, even though her eyes were blurred, but she was as sensitive as Dou Yifang, how could she not notice it.

Dou Yifang asked calmly: "Is my sister unwell? You want me to send someone to inform the imperial doctor."

Shen Langhua coughed twice again, and said with difficulty: "No need, my sister just didn't sleep well, presumably she caught the wind and cold, cover it with a quilt, and sweat will be fine, but I'm afraid I can't entertain my sister, please Forgive me."

"Then I won't bother you, I will leave this box of cake bait for my younger sister to taste slowly." Dou Yifang followed her words and said that she was going to leave, her face was still as calm as water, but her heart was like an arrow.

Shen Langhua stared at the exquisitely carved red lacquer peony flower opening food box, and slowly said: "Thank you, Queen, for the reward."

Back at the Jiaofang Palace, Dou Yifang asked Qingrong carefully about Madam Shen's expression at that time, Qingrong said: "When the servant girl saw the queen mentioning the matter of entering the palace, Madam Shen's expression was not quite right, when she saw the cake His face turned pale when he took the bait."

Dou Yifang narrowed her eyes slightly, she guessed right, there was really something wrong with the box of cake bait back then, otherwise, why did she react so strongly when she saw the cake bait?

This is clearly her guilty conscience!

Shen Langhua, Shen Langhua, you have caused me so much misery, robbed my husband, and ruined my eyes. In the future, I will pay you back a hundredfold!Dou Yifang thought bitterly.

But Mrs. Dou didn't know that although Shen Langhua had a guilty conscience, it wasn't because he had put something in the bait.
