[Comprehensive] The Concubine's Counterattack Manual

Hu's mother only stayed in Kunning Palace for two hours before leaving. Langhua persuaded her for a long time before, but she didn't know how much she listened to.I had some desserts in the palace, and after the noon day passed, I went to the Qingning Palace of Empress Dowager Zhang.

Empress Dowager Zhang still likes Hu Shanxiang as her daughter-in-law very much. After Hu Shanxiang was abolished in her previous life, Empress Dowager Zhang has always protected her and often declared her to live in Qingning Palace.

"Good boy, I don't know what's wrong with the emperor. He must have been fascinated by Mrs. Sun's charming son. Don't worry, the queen mother will definitely not let him do whatever he wants." Empress Dowager Zhang took Lang Hua's hand, carefully exhort.Empress Dowager Zhang has been troubled by the abolition of the empress these days. In her opinion, Hu Shanxiang is definitely more suitable for the position of empress than Mrs. Sun.The Sun family is seductive and is only suitable to be a favorite concubine, while Hu Shanxiang is virtuous and unequivocal in handling palace affairs. With her occupying the position of queen, she can just suppress Sun's arrogance.

Now the harem is divided into three parts, the empress and the Sun family each form a faction, and the other concubines who are not favored can be regarded as a faction. This kind of pattern is just right.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Lang Hua took advantage of the opportunity to sit on the other side of the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, too many things have happened during this period, and my concubines have long since dared not ask for anything more. I just hope that I can take good care of Shunde and Yongqing. big."

Empress Dowager Zhang sighed deeply, such a small wish is not an easy thing in this perilous palace.

"Speaking of Shunde, the concubine has not yet confessed to the queen mother." Lang Hua suddenly knelt down and buried his face deeply.

The Empress Dowager was startled, and hurriedly asked the nurse beside her to help her up, "What's wrong?"

Lang Hua stood up and said this time: "Shunde's wet nurse was sent back to the Shang Palace Bureau by the concubine because of her bad words. Shanxiang knew that she was the person next to the queen mother, and she was different from other palace maids, but the Chang family always contradicted the concubine. , and repeatedly brought up the Empress Dowager’s name in order to overwhelm others, the concubine did not want the Empress Dowager’s sagacity to be ruined by her few words, so he boldly sent her back to the Shang Palace Bureau.”

"Is there such a thing?" Queen Mother Zhang looked sideways.

"The concubine dare not lie to the Empress Dowager." Langhua said, with a bit of sadness on his face: "I think the palace maids have also heard some rumors, so they don't take me as the Empress seriously."

Empress Dowager Zhang thought for a while, and according to Hu Shanxiang's temper, she was able to send the maid directly back to the Shang Palace, presumably something very serious happened, and said: "Although Mrs. Chang is from Ai's family, it is a capital offense to despise the queen. , there is no need to forgive at all, you are the empress, you don't need to plead guilty like this when you deal with a palace man who has made a mistake. In the future, the Ai family will choose a more honest one to send to you."

As soon as the words were finished, the noise outside came from far to near, and the Queen Mother gradually frowned, "What's going on outside? Hurry up and take a look."

A court lady standing next to the queen mother blessed her body and was about to go out to check it out, but Xuanzong came in with a face full of anger. Seeing Langhua, he even raised his hand and slapped him, roaring deafeningly: "Queen, you This bitch dared to poison Chao Shu!"

The queen mother was startled by this shock, her face turned pale.

After receiving this palm, Lang Huasheng suddenly felt a burning pain on one side of her face. The corners of her mouth slowly curled up, and a cold voice escaped from her lips: "What nonsense is the emperor talking about!"

Xuanzong's face was frosty, and he roared angrily: "Nonsense? You sent someone to poison Chaoshu's meals, do you still want to deny it?"

Lang Hua raised his eyes slightly, and said with a sneer, "Poison? The emperor came here in such a threatening manner, is it because Mrs. Sun has passed away?"

Xuanzong was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, and said coldly: "Look, your true face has finally been revealed. Fortunately, Chaoshu is very blessed, but it only hurts your body, otherwise even if you kill your whole family, you will not be able to understand me." the hatred of my heart."

Hurt?If she really did it, it wouldn't be such a simple matter of hurting her body!

Langhua and Xuanzong looked at each other for a long time, the Empress Dowager finally couldn't help it, and said angrily: "The emperor came to Aijia's palace, and he didn't greet Aijia, let alone a word of greeting. He didn't explain anything about Mrs. Sun , and directly attacked the queen indiscriminately, so I won’t say much about it, Aijia just wants to ask the emperor, has the matter been found out? The emperor is really sure that the empress did it?”

Her son is very good, except for one thing, that is, he loves Sun's family too much. Whenever he encounters Sun's affairs, the decisive and wise emperor who usually handles government affairs disappears.

Xuanzong pointed to Langhua and said, "In the whole palace, she is the only one who hates Chaoshu deeply. Who is she?"

Lang Hua replied: "The emperor keeps saying that the concubine harmed Concubine Sun, but he can't produce evidence that the concubine murdered Concubine Sun. The concubine can also say that the emperor intends to frame the concubine in order to move Concubine Sun's position!"

"Hu Shanxiang, you are so courageous!"

The two did not give in to each other, which immediately brought the situation to a stalemate.

The queen mother stroked her forehead, "Emperor empress, please sit down first, and the emperor will talk about the ins and outs of the matter."

The palace maid served a cup of tea and put an egg on Lang Hua's face. Xuanzong took a sip of water and calmed down, but he still looked at Lang Hua coldly, "I'm going to Wan'an Palace to accompany the court today. Shu had a meal together. Unexpectedly, after only a little bit, Chao Shu vomited blood, and I immediately announced to the imperial physician that she had been poisoned."

"What kind of poison was poisoned? Where was the poison planted? What evidence is there that the queen planted it?" asked the Queen Mother.

Xuanzong was taken aback for a moment, then slowly shook his head.At that time, he only heard a court lady talking about the queen's confinement of Chao Shu, and for some reason, he rushed directly to Kunning Palace to ask for clarification.Who would have thought that he would be caught in vain, and he was furious in his heart. Hearing that the queen had come to Qingning Palace, he subconsciously thought that the queen was a guilty conscience and came to rescue the soldiers.

"Emperor, you..." Now even the queen mother had nothing to say.

Just guessing and framing the mother of a country like this, if there is a big trouble, Xuanzong will be surrounded by the censor again.

What is certain is that Langhua did not harm Sun at all, and the original owner did not have the memory of asking someone to murder Sun.Among the concubines in the harem, there are countless people who want to put the Sun family to death.Langhua felt that the most likely thing was that Mrs. Sun couldn't wait to pull Langhua down, and directed and acted such a show by herself.

Langhua walked up to Emperor Xuanzong, knelt down, and said solemnly: "Please leave the matter to the concubine, the concubine will definitely check it out. If the concubine is innocent, the concubine will be fair."

"Is there anything else to check, mother, this incident must have something to do with the queen, I must abolish the queen!"

Xuanzong thought deeply about getting rid of her, even if she was given an unwarranted stigma, he would not give up.Langhua sneered in his heart, and said sternly: "Your Majesty, we have been husband and wife for many years. Does the Emperor still not understand the concubine, not to mention that the concubine would not harm the Sun family at all, even if it is critical, it will not be at this juncture. Everyone in the world Knowing that the emperor wants to abolish the concubine, will the concubine give the emperor an upright reason for abolishing the empress?"

Xuanzong sneered: "I really don't understand you. You said you didn't harm Chaoshu, so why did you ground her?"

"Foot confinement? When did the concubine let the imperial concubine confine her feet? Didn't she make it clear to the emperor? Mrs. Sun often suffers from minor illnesses and pains, but she still has to come every day to pay my respects to this palace. I couldn't bear it, so I ordered the imperial concubine not to come to pay her respects until she recovers."

Xuanzong really didn't have Hu Shanxiang in his heart at all, but if he had a little bit of Hu Shanxiang's position in his heart, without any evidence, he wouldn't just blindly believe in Sun Chaoshu!

Langhua kowtowed to the Queen Mother: "Please tell the Queen Mother, my concubine has never harmed the Sun family."

Compared with Xuanzong, Empress Dowager Zhang also broke through the siege among many concubines, and she is more aware of the dangers of the harem.

Relying on Empress Dowager Zhang is much easier than talking with Xuanzong!

The Empress Dowager's face was serious, she lifted her dress and said coldly, "Go to Wan'an Palace."

Everyone passed by in sedan chairs, and the maids and imperial physicians in Wan'an Palace performed their duties. When they saw them coming, they first greeted them, and then immediately went to wake the bedridden Sun to get up, and Xuanzong followed.

The Empress Dowager sat on the Grand Master's chair, closed her eyes, and asked, "Emperor Physician, what kind of poison is the imperial concubine suffering from?"

The imperial doctor knelt down and replied: "If you go back to the queen mother, it is lotus cardamom, but the amount is not large. Take two doses of medicine and it will be cured."

The queen mother frowned even more when she heard this, "Where did the poison come from?"

Sun Chaoshu's personal maid said, "It's served in the empress's favorite dish—the crystal glazed cake."

The queen mother opened her eyes, and she scanned the table not far away, the dishes on it had not been removed, "Are there any other dishes that have been drugged?"

The maid shook her head.

The Empress Dowager shifted her gaze to Langhua, and said calmly: "Empress, what do you think?"

Lang Hua replied: "The person who poisoned him knows Sun Guifei's preferences very well, and if he knows it, he can just use this dish and everything will be done."

The Queen Mother nodded: "What else?"

"The person who poisoned Sun Guifei didn't want to kill Concubine Sun Gui." If it was really the enemy who poisoned her, would Concubine Sun Guifei still have a chance to persuade Xuanzong to abolish the empress?

At this moment, the poisoned Mrs. Sun was carried out by Xuanzong. She was wearing a light rice-colored palace dress, and her face was not full of rouge and water. She looked very haggard. The sapphire gold silk hairpin was rolled up, and she curled up in Xuanzong's embrace as a small bird, and said softly: "The empress is kind to others, and treats concubines very well. How could she murder the concubines? The emperor really wronged the empress."
