Chapter 780: Before the storm

Thinking about Princess Fuqing, Concubine Xian almost stayed up all night.
Princess Fuqing was in distress only a few months ago on the Spring Festival. The queen would never let Princess Fuqing go out of the palace again, and even because the princes were annoying the emperor recently, she didn't mean to hold a flower appreciation feast.
Thinking about it carefully, the only place where she can start is when Princess Fuqing goes back and forth to Cining Palace.
In the past, Princess Fuqing and the fourteenth princesses went to Ci Ning Palace together, and each took a maidservant. After the Spring Festival, there were only two princesses traveling together.
Princess Fuqing was in danger during the Yuan Festival. It seemed that her personal maidservant had a problem, so she simply stopped taking the maid to Cining Palace.
The princesses were afraid of disturbing the Queen Mother and only brought one maidservant to the palace. Later, the maidservant she often took had a problem and turned into only two princesses. Was this a natural development or was the Queen Mother’s plan early?
From the beginning, the Queen Mother let Princess Fuqing go to accompany her every day, and Princess Fuqing finally had nothing to do during the last Yuan Festival. Later, she had such a convenient opportunity to start, saying that these were just coincidences, and she didn't believe it.
The more Concubine Xian thinks, the more she feels that the Queen Mother is unfathomable.
The queen mother is undoubtedly cautious and scheming. With such a person to help Zhang'er, Zhang'er's chances will definitely increase.
The sky was white, and the sky began to light early in early summer.
Concubine Xian simply got up, put on her cloak and walked to the window, pushing the window open.
The cool morning breeze blew in, causing her to shiver involuntarily and cough twice.
Hearing the movement, the maidservant was shocked: "Manny, why are you standing here to blow the wind? Beware of catching cold--"
Concubine Xian glanced at the maidservant and did not answer her words. Instead, she looked at the cold yard outside the window and asked, "Why no one is walking?"
In my impression, many palace servants had been sweeping and doing work at this time, but they hadn't paid attention to them since they were ill.
After hearing Concubine Xian's words, the maidservant's expression stiffened, but she didn't say anything.
The concubine Xian frowned and asked, "What?"
The maidservant lowered her head and said dryly: "Xu is the person on duty today--"
Concubine Xian understood this and sneered: "I'm afraid it's not being lazy today, but seeing that my palace loses power and doesn't care about the errands, right?"
"Manny--" The maidservant knelt down hurriedly.
Concubine Xian glanced at her condescendingly, and said lightly: "It doesn't have to be this way, get up, this palace won't take such a thing to heart."
Stepping down on rallies and falling into trouble, this kind of thing happens both inside and outside the palace, especially in the palace. She has lived so long that she can't understand it.
Because of this big anger, those lowly palace people, spread it out is a joke.
She will not do this now, and she will have to wait until the day when she stands on the top of the mountain.
Concubine Xian gathered her cloak and slowly left the window.
The coldness of Yuquan Palace that day made her firmer: she would rather be broken than jade.
She would never go to the end of her life so depressed and desolate, even if she loses a bet, it is better than death.
What contentment is Changle, take a step back and try to be safe and stable, others may be willing, but she Ji Lao is not rare.
She tolerated most of her life, even if she was half-dead in anger, she would smile at other palaces, could it be because she liked it?
But it was because of what I wanted that I was willing to bear a little more.
If you really want to endure to death, what is the difference between it and the tortoise?
"Go get the scissors and get a manicure in the palace."
The maidservant soon brought silver scissors.
Concubine Xian pointed to her bare little finger nails: "They are all cut so short."
"Niang?" The maidservant was shocked.
Concubine Xian said coldly: "If you let you cut it, don't talk nonsense."
The queen mother and the queen have to ask for peace a few more times. On the one hand, she seeks a guarantee from the queen mother; on the other hand, she has to consider the road from Ci Ning Palace to Kun Ning Palace and see where it is easy to start.
In Ci Ning Palace, it became lively early. There was only one mother in the queen mother’s bedroom combing her hair.
The long hair she held in her hands was almost white, and she was too sparse to hold her teeth.
The queen mother squinted her eyes and looked calm.
It should be said that the Queen Mother has been like this almost all the time, even if she asked the Concubine Xian for the life of Princess Fuqing yesterday, her expression remained calm.
The mother who combed her hair for the Queen Mother couldn't help but asked: "You said...Will Concubine Xian do it?"
The queen mother opened her eyes and said indifferently: "A obsession has persisted for most of her life, and she hasn't been arrogant for a day. How many people can be willing?"
The mother smiled and said, "The Queen Mother will see you clearly."
The queen mother stopped talking, but looked in the direction of the door.
If unsurprisingly, Concubine Xian will come to Ci Ning Palace in the future to ask Ann to get up diligently.
Sure enough, a few days later, Concubine Xian came to greet her again.
Xu Shi made up his mind and calmed down the shock of hiding the Queen Mother. This time, the concubine was more courageous, and said straight to the point: "Queen dowager, the concubine's life is not a shame, but the emperor is not incompetent. Once the concubine takes action, You may not be able to retreat all over the body. By then, the emperor will have an epiglottis for Zhang'er, and his concubine is dead. How can he know you--"
The queen mother smiled and asked: "Are you worried about the lack of faith in the sad family?"
Concubine Xian pursed her lips and said nothing.
The queen mother shook her head: "You shouldn't ask this. As the identity of the Aijia, will it deceive you? If the Aijia is really just coaxing you, how can you treat the Aijia? You and Aijia have never cooperated on an equal footing The relationship, Ai Jia is the layout person, and you are just a game of chess, so you shouldn’t ask about that."
Concubine Xian's face was pale, and she smiled bitterly: "The concubine knows, but the concubine cares is messy, think about Zhang'er can not be at ease..."
The queen mother turned her rosary on her wrist and said calmly: "The Ai family can tell you that King Yan is now the son of the queen, and the Ai family will not watch him sit in that seat. Apart from the king, only these few remain. , Does the Aijia keep its promise to help King Qi, or go to help unrelated people?"
When Concubine Xian heard what the Queen Mother said, her heart jumped.
Because of the relationship between the old Qi and the queen, the queen mother directly said that he would block him from ascending to the throne, and the queen mother would also get rid of Princess Fuqing. So, the queen mother and the queen have a grudge
If the queen mother hates the queen, it makes sense to deal with the queen's children.
But she was in the palace for many years, and she didn't find any offending the Queen Mother...
Concubine Xian looked at the Queen Mother, her expression was so calm that she couldn't see the slightest clue.
She sighed again.
There are so many secrets she doesn't know in this palace, she used to be so self-righteous.
"Is there anything else I want to ask?" the queen mother asked.
Concubine Xian looked down and shook her head.
The queen mother laughed: "Knowing a lot is not necessarily a good thing. You should go to Kunning Palace to ask for peace?"
The concubine Xian was shocked and nodded respectfully in the empress dowager's meaningful smile: "Yes, it's time for the concubine to go to Kunning Palace to ask for peace."
After that, Concubine Xian went to Ci Ning Palace and Kun Ning Palace several times to ask for peace. It was not until May 1st that she was unwell, and then she stopped.
