Chapter 222 The Concubine Just Wants to Be the Queen Mother 11
After waiting for Jixiang's response, Tao Ran suddenly felt happy.
She prepared a meeting gift and gave it to Ye Ruqiu and the queen immediately.
At this moment, the queen was puzzled.
"Who could be behind the scenes?"
Tao Ran: "No matter who it is, he must be very good at concealing himself, and his secret strength must be very strong. We have taken it lightly in the past! And... I feel that my sister and I may not have been provoked before. I am afraid that there will be a misunderstanding between you and me. Quite a few.”
The queen narrowed her eyes...
It was rare for the imperial concubine to have such a low profile, and she was indeed more pleased with her now. If you think about it carefully, many times, they are indeed impulsive. In brawls, pride and hatred often prevail. The queen is not stupid. After being reminded like this, she naturally began to think, is there someone who is always adding fuel to the flames and wants to reap the benefits?
Wouldn't it be ridiculous to say that the two of them fought to the death, but ended up becoming someone else's wedding dress?
The two of them, who were eager to cooperate, were about to discuss further to see if there was any possibility of cooperation, when they heard a sudden bang outside the outer hall door.
The sound was huge, and it was clearly only a door away!
Something shattered to the ground.
Tao Ran gasped and lowered his voice: "Could it be that... someone was eavesdropping?"
The queen had the same reaction.
Bailing and Ruyi got the signal, rushed out together, and quickly opened the door.
Outside the door, I saw Qiu Guiren sitting on the ground. At her feet, there were broken porcelain on the ground...
The imperial concubine's maid, Ji Xiangzheng, looked pityful and cried: "What's going on? Why is Lord Qiu so careless! How could he hit the Ganoderma lucidum soup that our empress is waiting to drink? You know how precious this soup is, How much effort did we put into it? This is a reward from the emperor!"
When the queen heard that Qiu Guiren was outside, she strode to the door.
She narrowed her eyes again.
Qiu Guiren?
What is she doing sneakily outside this door?
"The Queen, forgive me. I just came to deliver Ganoderma lucidum soup to the Imperial Concubine. I knew the two empresses were talking, so I waited outside the door. But just as a gust of wind blew, I felt a sore knee and fell down." Ye Ruqiu knelt down and explained softly. "It's my fault to disturb the two empresses."
Such a coincidence? Can’t even hold a porcelain jar? And just when he was chatting with the imperial concubine about important matters, this one threw the bowl? The queen obviously couldn't believe it.
Ah!
It was probably the first time that the queen looked at Qiu Guiren carefully.
"Then I wonder what Mr. Qiu Gui heard?"
Qiu Guiren hurriedly waved his hand: "I didn't do that. How dare I eavesdrop? I always abide by my duty..."
The queen's face was dark. Stick to your duty? The place where she stood was right in front of the gate. If she really wanted to avoid it, shouldn't she retreat far away?
When the queen asked, she learned that Mr. Qiu had been standing by the door for dozens of seconds and had not changed places.
The queen sneered, turned around and entered the inner hall, and asked Yu Tong directly, why is Lord Qiu here?
"Here to take care of Ji!" Tao Ran said as if he meant something, "He came on his own initiative! He took the initiative to ask to take care of Ji!"
They both gasped together.
They had talked a lot just now, and it was rare that they even exchanged some heartfelt words. But it was such a coincidence that there was someone standing outside the door, and everything looked wrong.
Tao Ran stroked his chest: "Am I being watched? Sister, go and ask, how much did she hear?" Anyway, he was sick, so naturally he couldn't do anything at the moment. This task was left to the queen.
In fact, without Tao Ran's gesture, the queen already had an idea in mind.
This Qiu Guijun is too suspicious. If she is eavesdropping, then she must have something up her sleeve. Or maybe she heard something and deliberately broke the jar to ruin her cooperation plan with the imperial concubine?
Haha, she is just a low-level concubine, but she is quite courageous.
Thinking again about this afternoon, when her aunt brought the imperial doctor to test the imperial concubine, it was this little bitch and her cousin who were making trouble here, and even moved the emperor. No matter whether she wanted to fight with the imperial concubine or not, she was sure Not on your own side!
Then why should I be soft-hearted?
At this moment, the queen looked at Ye Ruqiu with strange expressions, feeling that she was suspicious.
The Queen became angry.
"Come here, give Qiu Nobleman twenty boards to have a long memory!"
Ye Ruqiu was startled. She just made a mistake and dropped something. Is that what happened? Still playing boards? That's a punishment only for slaves...
"Queen, my concubine is not guilty of this. Please give me a lighter sentence. I really didn't eavesdrop. I didn't eavesdrop."
"When did I say that I was punishing you for eavesdropping?" the queen sneered.
"You were punished because the concubine was ill, but you committed the following crime. You broke the ginseng soup of the concubine's sister first, and the noise in front of the palace made her unable to rest. How dare you say that the crime is not that serious? I have also heard about it. You It was overturned, but the 500-year-old Ganoderma lucidum soup sent by the Emperor had been boiled for five hours, and the concubine and sister were waiting to drink it! Are you waiting for someone to die? You are being disrespectful! What crime do you think you deserve!"
After all, Empress Chen has been in a high position for many years, so such a change is easy to come by...
At this moment, Tao Ran was sitting by the machine by the slit window, drinking tea and watching a show.
How could Ye Ruqiu be so forbearing, so careless?
Naturally, Tao Ran signaled this matter...
Ye Ruqiu felt uncomfortable because of the matter between Coral Tree and Yu Concubine. He was also absent-minded when copying the scriptures, and he didn't even know the queen was coming.
Afterwards, Ruyi went to find her and asked her to deliver Ganoderma lucidum soup to the empress.
Ye Ruqiu could only do as he was told.
When they walked outside the palace, they were told that the queen was here and talking to the noble concubine in the room.
She was curious at the time.
The queen and the noble concubine are equally powerful, what else can they say?
Do you still need to close the door?
The imperial concubine has just been assassinated, and the queen is the most suspicious. With the two of them inside, will the queen take advantage of the imperial concubine's serious illness to take advantage of her? Will the noble concubine settle a score with the queen?
Many thoughts flashed through Ye Ruqiu's mind, and her steps naturally became lighter outside the palace.
She really wanted to hear a few words and see what was going on in the house. If the queen is not good for Yu Tong, she will have to invite the emperor, right?
She just stood by the door.
Unfortunately, she heard nothing at all.
She felt a little panicked.
Just then, a gust of wind blew, and then she felt pain in the back of her knee. Her hand slipped, and the Ganoderma lucidum soup in the tray flew out...
Naturally, Tao Ran let people do it.
When she was talking about the key point in the room, she gave Ji Xiang a hint.
Jixiang flashed by the window.
After Ruyi noticed the movement of the figure outside the window, she threw the pebble out of her hand and hit Ye Ruqiu's back knee...
She and Jixiang were dowries given to the noble concubine by the general's palace, so naturally they were quite capable. Both of them are good at martial arts, but they just don't usually have the chance to show it off.
Since she was standing in the corridor, when she made small movements, neither the two queens in the courtyard nor one of Ye Ruqiu's maids saw her.
The moment Ye Ruqiu fell down, she rushed forward and hid the pebbles by checking the Ganoderma lucidum soup on the ground. Therefore, by the time Ye Ruqiu recovered, the evidence would have been gone...
And because the timing of Ye Ruqiu's fall was very subtle, the queen immediately became suspicious.
