Chapter 1,266: Going Back on His Word, Chu Qing Was Beaten
"Tell me why you want to remember Shao Jie'er as a concubine?" the Dowager said with a gloomy face.
"The concubine is talking about... being remembered as a side concubine?" Mo Qiuyi asked, looking at Chu Qing uneasily, and was relieved to see that although he was sitting aside with a sullen face, he looked caring.
"Tell me why you did this on your own initiative." The concubine said coldly.
"The concubine is indeed my fault, but my original intention was not to really let Shao Jie'er become the prince's concubine." That's what Mo Qiuyi had guessed when she came over. With Chu Qing here, she didn't feel so nervous. .
"How do you say that?" Chu Qing was also surprised.
"It doesn't count as a true concubine if you haven't officially worshiped her. Don't worry, Princess." Mo Qiuyi replied, "But even though she is not a formal concubine, it has been recorded on the record, and the emperor agreed before. It’s not like others can let her escape at will.”
"Escape?" The concubine didn't understand and asked repeatedly.
"Yes, it means escaping. After Shao Jie'er returned home, she and her eldest brother were kicked out. Princess Chen will definitely go to see her. If Shao Jie'er disappears at this time, Princess Chen must have helped her escape." Mo Qiuyi said softly. smiled.
"What's the use of this?" Chu Qing still didn't understand the logic behind this.
"Of course it is useful. I heard that King Chen is very good to Princess Chen. Princess Chen has killed the prince's concubine, so she must give the prince an explanation. Even if she can't help the prince with anything, she will definitely make King Chen fight against the prince. It's the right time to show weakness." Mo Qiuyi said calmly.
Let Chu Liuchen show weakness to him? Chu Qing thought this was a good idea, and the look on his face looked better. He pointed to the chair on the side and motioned for Mo Qiuyi to sit down and talk.
"Please be more detailed." The concubine had no intention of just letting Mo Qiuyi pass.
"Taifei, it's my fault for this. I didn't tell you in advance. I originally planned to come here in the next two days and tell you about Shao Jie'er. The princess and the prince will send people to investigate. After the investigation, go to Prince Chen's Mansion. The palace has lost one of our concubines, but it is a big deal. If Prince Chen plans to protect Princess Chen, he must agree to the prince’s conditions.”
Mo Qiuyi smiled.
In fact, she had already taken action, but Shao Wanru suddenly bumped into her. After that, Shao Jie'er's whereabouts were unknown and she couldn't find her for a while. Then she followed the plan. She had to find Shao Jie'er and kill him. Only by making this matter bigger will make it difficult for Shao Wanru to defend himself, so that he can better settle the matter.
I just didn't expect that Shao Jie'er could not be found, and now she was called over by the concubine.
After the matter was done, Mo Qiuyi was not afraid of the concubine's questions. At this time, she was called over by the concubine, and she did feel a little guilty. Fortunately, she was a eloquent person and vaguely explained the reason for delaying until now.
"What will Prince Chen promise Qing'er?" The concubine's face looked a little better than before, and she thought about it and asked.
"My dear concubine, the emperor is ill at this time, but the prince has never had the chance to see the emperor. Prince Chen can go in from time to time. The prince does not need to ask for anything else. He can let Prince Chen take the prince in to see the emperor. Let people I saw that Prince Chen and his brothers were at peace with each other, and then..."
Mo Qiuyi paused here and looked around.
Although they were surrounded by confidants, the less people knew about some things, the better.
The concubine understood and ordered the people on both sides: "Everyone, get down!"
The maids, the mother-in-law on both sides, and the boy beside Chu Qing retreated outside the door together, leaving them alone in the room.
"Tell me, what do you want to do?" The concubine said coldly, looking at Mo Qiuyi with a deep look in her eyes. She was a little unhappy that the daughter-in-law she wanted to marry was too strong.
But now we have to use Mo Qiuyi's lineage.
"My dear concubine, the emperor is seriously ill, so this is not a good time for us. If something happens at this time and the emperor is angry to death, it will be good for us. The prince has been patient for so many years, and it is time for him to soar into the sky. , use King Chen to get close to the emperor, if you can wait for an opportunity to strike, and involve the matter with King Chen or other princes..."
When Mo Qiuyi said this, she became proud.
"It's not easy to get close to the Emperor." The concubine thought for a moment and shook her head, "And it would be too risky for Qing'er to do this."
"The concubine will not have anything to do with the prince. The prince only needs to follow King Chen to visit him a few times." Mo Qiuyi took out a sachet from her arms, "There are medicinal materials in it that are mutually reinforcing and incompatible. The prince will wear it when he goes to the emperor." A few laps and it takes effect.”
The concubine was startled and turned her head away for fear of getting into something bad, "Since this thing is so dangerous, why don't you take it away."
"Don't worry, Princess, this matter is not dangerous, and the things inside are not dangerous either. There is not only one kind of things that are mutually reinforcing and mutually reinforcing, but there is also another kind. That kind has been sent to the emperor. When the prince comes over with this sachet, , the emperor's condition will inevitably worsen." Mo Qiuyi said proudly.
The concubine turned back, frowned tightly, looked at Mo Qiuyi, pursed her lips, and asked after a while: "Are you really sure?"
"Of course I am sure, so I want the prince to follow King Chen there. Concubine, please think that the prince's past is the intention of King Chen. Something happened to the emperor, and no matter how hard you check, you can't find the prince. In addition to letting Chen The king is taking the blame, and it could be another prince, but we can’t be traced anyway.”
Mo Qiuyi said implicitly.
"Is there anyone else in the palace, someone close to the emperor? Who is it?" the concubine asked in a lowered voice.
"Taifei, please forgive me that I can't tell you about this now. You will know everything when the prince accomplishes his great things." Mo Qiuyi did not reveal all her details.
The concubine's face looked a little ugly and she stared at Mo Qiuyi coldly.
Chu Qing coughed lowly and said, "Concubine, I think this can be done."
Seeing that her son believed Mo Qiuyi's words without saying a word, the concubine felt annoyed. She raised her head and scolded her son coldly: "What's the matter? Now King Chen is here, how do you explain it? It's not you who is looking for King Chen now. The trouble is Chu Liuchen’s trouble with you.”
When she thought of this, Chu Qing felt helpless. Chu Liuchen didn't look like he was ready to give up.
"Qiu Yi, what should I do now? Chu Liuchen came to my door, and also called Prince He. I didn't know about this. I only said that Shao Jie'er was not my concubine and could never be my concubine. Concubine." Chu Qing felt that this matter was difficult to handle, Chu Liuchen was not the other one, and this person was not able to judge by common sense.
"My lord, why should I be afraid? Even if you say you don't know, don't you still have the concubine? Just say it's the concubine's wish. Is it possible that King Chen can still object?" Mo Qiuyi said calmly.
"Are you planning to let me take the blame?" The concubine snorted coldly, becoming more and more unhappy.
"Mother concubine,
Right now...it seems like it's just you! "Chu Qing thought about it and thought it was a good idea. He was afraid that the concubine would be angry, so he cautiously said with a smile.
"I'll take the blame, and then you investigate Shao Jie'er's matter? It's my fault if it makes a big fuss, Mo Qiuyi, let's forget about it!" The concubine said angrily. She has always been the only one who takes advantage of people. She never thought that one day, A little girl was taken advantage of, and she had to admit it.
"Taifei, it will be good for the prince to make a big fuss." Mo Qiuyi timidly reminded the princess.
The concubine's face was cold and she stopped talking. This matter was indeed feasible, and the feasibility was not small. If Chu Qing really came in front of the emperor and something happened to the emperor, she would know in advance and respond in time, and it would be easy to seize the throne.
"Concubine, look..." Chu Qing knew that the concubine was angry, so she asked cautiously, and then said, "If concubine feels that it is not appropriate, then forget it. Anyway, after waiting for so many years, it is not bad now." Please wait a little longer.”
After all these years of waiting? The concubine's heart suffocated. She couldn't wait any longer. She had been locked in Yuhui Temple for so many days and nights. She had despaired, but there were people around her who repeatedly said they could protect her and the son she gave birth to. , let her son ascend to the ninth five-year position, and gradually she started to think a lot.
Now that she has left Yuhui Nunnery, the concubine feels that she can no longer bear it if she is allowed to live like this again.
"Okay, I'll do as you say, but are you sure that King Chen will suppress this matter?" The concubine gritted her teeth. She had to do this for the sake of her son.
"If King Chen wants to protect Princess Chen, he must do this." Mo Qiuyi said very proudly, with a trace of ridicule flashing in her eyes. The concubine has not done anything for so many years. She really has no courage. If it were her, she would definitely He wouldn't be so passive. It's really useless to hold the blood of the late emperor and live such a miserable life.
Mo Qiuyi thought so, and convinced the concubine and Chu Qing, mother and son, that this matter was not a big deal. After the three people discussed it, Mo Qiuyi stayed in the house while Chu Qing sorted it out. Go to Prince Chen's Mansion and "explain" to Chu Liuchen. Calculating the time, Chu Liuchen must have returned to the mansion by this time.
When he arrived at the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion, the doorman went in to report and soon invited him in with a smile.
Chu Qing walked in behind a boy.
Chu Liuchen met Chu Qing on the second floor of his study.
Seeing Chu Qing come in, Xiao Xuanzi smiled and saluted him, then retreated behind Chu Liuchen and sat on the large nanmu chair. Chu Liuchen looked at Chu Qing with cold eyes: "Prince Qing is back. How fast? Is this a plan to set a trap for my king’s concubine or for this king?”
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table. The sunlight outside the window came in and fell on his face. There was a bit of eerie light and darkness in his handsomeness.
Chu Qing's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect that Chu Liuchen would be so rude, and he would speak so straight to the point, directly tearing open the thin veil between the two people.
"Prince Chen, I only knew about this. It was my mother and concubine's intention..." Chu Qing calmed down and answered seriously according to the formula discussed by the three of them.
"Prince Qing!" Chu Liuchen suddenly raised his finger at him.
Chu Qing subconsciously reached over, thinking that Chu Liuchen was going to tell him something secret, but the next moment, he was slapped hard on the face, and Chu Qing was immediately confused...
