Adore Trick of Beauty

Seeing that Empress Dowager Gao was furious, the Queen and Concubine Shu did not dare to say anything more. Even though they were full of doubts, they had to retreat. After all, Empress Dowager Gao had been accumulating power for decades, and they didn't dare to confront her until their situation was unknown.

The Queen and Concubine Shu had no choice but to retreat, and they each led the maids and chamberlains out of the "Manna Palace". Seeing that they finally left, Queen Mother Gao breathed a sigh of relief and leaned on the chair while holding her forehead.

It had only been one day and one night, but she felt as if several years had passed, and she was so tired.

…to the end…

The queen wiped away tears as she walked away. Concubine Shu quickly stepped forward and called out in a low voice: "Empress!"

The queen looked at her with red and swollen eyes and sneered: "What? Is there anything else? Don't think that if your second prince is also lost, I will believe that the first prince's disappearance has nothing to do with you!"

Concubine Shu looked around her, and in her desperation she didn't care about the Queen's unkind tone. She said, "Queen, please step aside. I have something to say!"

The queen looked at her suspiciously. They had always had a bad relationship, so it was not easy for them to get along. It was ridiculous to say it. Now that the queen was asked to write to Concubine Shu, who was her good friend in the past, it would be better for her to trust Nie Wushuang, a latecomer like Feng.

The Queen stepped back reluctantly and asked, "What on earth do you want?"

Concubine Shu looked at the two people who were far away from the "Ganlu Palace" and then stepped forward and said: "Queen, you have also searched my concubine's palace. I have not hidden the eldest prince secretly at all, let alone kept the eldest prince unknown." He was tied up without even realizing it!”

The Queen sneered: "It's hard to say. The poison on my body back then, do you dare to say that it had nothing to do with you?"

Concubine Shu lowered her head guiltily and said harshly: "Of course it has nothing to do with me!"

The queen snorted coldly: "What's the matter with you? It's nothing. I still have to go find the eldest prince, my poor prince..." The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to cry.

Concubine Shu pretended to wipe away her tears, thinking that business was more important. She approached the queen and asked in a low voice: "Queen, my concubine is not bold in talking nonsense. Do you feel that the Queen Mother today is different from the past?"

The queen was startled, and then she regained her senses from the panic of losing her son.

She looked at Concubine Shu doubtfully. Concubine Shu pulled her further and whispered: "Empress, don't you think the Queen Mother has been stopping us from seeing the Emperor?"

When the queen heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

"This...this..." She looked at Concubine Shu's extremely nervous face and suddenly grabbed her hand tightly: "What do you mean?..."

Concubine Shu was anxious in her heart, but she did not dare to say loudly: "Although I am stupid, the eldest prince and the second prince are missing. Even if the emperor is sick, we should let us meet the emperor. Please seal the palace gate and search everywhere." Why don't you let us see the emperor? I feel bad!"

The Queen can be regarded as someone who has experienced the turmoil of the previous dynasty. Her heart was pounding. She couldn't help but squeeze Concubine Shu's hand, and her heart suddenly hit the bottom: "Could it be said...could it be said...that the Emperor has passed away? ?..."

After she finished speaking, she was so angry that her vision went dark, and she couldn't help but fainted in Concubine Shu's arms.

Concubine Shu saw her fainting and quickly called for help to pinch her and fan her. The queen suddenly woke up. She looked at Concubine Shu blankly, and it took her a long time to say: "Go back to the palace! Go back to discuss!"

Concubine Shu did not dare to say anything anymore and quickly called the palace officials to send the queen to "Laiyi Palace".

"Lai Yi Palace" was in a state of chaos. The palace maids and servants were running around like headless flies, but they didn't know what they were busy with. The person who went out to look for the eldest prince has not returned yet, and there is no optimistic news. . Strangely enough, the eldest prince disappeared without a trace like a drop of water, and the second prince also disappeared. Even the third prince who had vaguely heard of the "Yonghua Palace" was missing. But because Concubine Xian was not in the palace, there was no one in charge, and everything was in chaos.

The queen leaned on the phoenix couch and watched Concubine Shu walking back and forth in front of her. She wanted to cry, but knew that this was not the time to cry, so she asked in a hoarse voice: "Concubine Shu, what do you think?"

Concubine Shu was also anxious, and after a long while she said: "I don't know what happened now, but I am sure that the emperor is in the hands of the queen mother!"

When the Queen heard this, she couldn't help but shook her head and turned pale: "You mean the Queen Mother... is she planning to rebel? Is the eldest prince in her hands?..."

Concubine Shu's face turned pale. She looked at the queen and finally choked out a sentence: "If something happens to the emperor, you are safe, but my concubine will be in serious trouble!"

The queen was agitated, and she couldn't help but feel sad: "Where can we be safe? The eldest prince doesn't know where he is now. If something happens to the emperor, what will a powerless queen do? Even if the eldest prince is here now In the hands of the Queen Mother, from now on... From now on, we and I will be just puppets in her hands, wuwu..."

Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of relief in her eyes. She knelt down and comforted the queen softly: "The queen must be loyal to the emperor, right?"

The queen wiped away her tears and glanced at her: "Of course this is the truth. If the emperor has two shortcomings, how can I still live? The eldest prince is so young, ugh..."

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became. Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her expression didn't seem to be fake.

The queen cried for a while, looked at her thoughtful eyes, and couldn't help asking angrily: "Did you do it?"

Concubine Shu was startled and waved her hands quickly: "Empress, how could this be done by my concubine? You have also seen that the Queen Mother did not let my concubine go to see the emperor at all, not to mention... the queen mother was not the same as my concubine! "

The Queen was dubious, and Concubine Shu quickly knelt down and swore: "If

My concubine did it. My concubine died immediately without a complete body. After her death, her body was dismembered by wild dogs and she will never be reincarnated! "

When the queen saw her swearing such a vicious oath, she said in a cold and suspicious tone: "Since you didn't do it, what should we do now? The emperor can't be seen, and the emperor can't be found! What should we do now?"

Concubine Shu was also at a loss, but she was alert by nature. In the current chaos, the second prince was not her biological son, so naturally he would not mess up like the queen. She thought for a while: "Now my life and the queen are inextricably linked." Together, whatever the queen says, I will naturally do whatever I want!"

The Queen took a breath of air. She tugged at her sleeves distractedly, and after a long time she said: "Now I can only ask my father for help, and you should also try to inform your father. If something happens to the Emperor, you and I will not be able to bear it." Go in circles. The Queen Mother will definitely take charge of the harem again and dominate the government and the public..."

Concubine Shu was completely relieved. What she feared most was that Queen Xu and Queen Mother Gao would join forces. The Gao family and the Xu family were always closely related to each other. However, in recent years, with the emperor's personal rule, the status of the Xu family in the court has been improved. And deliberately suppressing the Gao family, as a result, the Gao family and the Xu family gradually began to have dissatisfaction.

No matter what Empress Dowager Gao wants to do now, Empress Xu will not sit idly by. What's more, Empress Dowager Gao's return to take charge of the harem is a challenge to Empress Xu's authority. In addition, the whereabouts of the eldest prince are now unknown. It is estimated that Empress Xu also suspected Empress Dowager Gao in her heart.

The more Concubine Shu thought about it, the more she admired the clever idea of ​​the person behind hiding the eldest prince. She responded quickly and hurriedly retreated.

Concubine Shu felt relieved after returning to "Xinyi Palace". Xiulan, the personal palace maid next to her, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you believe it was not your Majesty who did this?"

"Yes." Concubine Shu took the tea and took a sip, and then said with a sigh: "If I hadn't listened to that person's words, I would be the unlucky one now!"

Seeing that there was no one around, Xiulan whispered: "How long will the empress keep that person in prison?"

Concubine Shu frowned: "In short, although my suspicion is gone now, the situation in the harem is now more complicated. Why do I think this matter is not as simple as that person said! Wait and see. I still have One more thing to do!”

After saying that, she picked up the pen, quickly wrote a line of words, and handed it to a thin chamberlain beside her: "Take my token and leave the palace!"

"Yes!" The little chamberlain seemed to be used to this kind of errand. He took Concubine Shu's letter, lowered his eyebrows, and walked out quietly.

…

In the imperial study room, there was even more ticking.

Nie Wushuang saw that Empress Dowager Gao's servants could not find the jade seal and had nothing to do, so he ordered them to bring tea and water, and help Xiao Fengming change clothes and freshen up. The chamberlains were already afraid that Empress Dowager Gao would force the palace to rebel. Now seeing Nie Wushuang's request, they were eager to please the emperor. Naturally, he responds to every request and serves him diligently and appropriately.

Gao Yuji watched coldly from the side, seeing Nie Wushuang scolding the servants like the hostess here, feeling jealous in her heart, and sneered: "You are just a prisoner, who are you dressing up for!"

Nie Wushuang tidied up his messy hair and watched Xiao Fengming being groomed by the chamberlains. His messy hair was also neatly combed. If he hadn't pretended to be confused in order to confuse Empress Dowager Gao, he would have returned to his usual look. The dignity of an emperor.

She sat next to Xiao Fengming and sneered at Gao Yuji: "What are the prisoners afraid of? Even if they die, I and the emperor will go to hell together neatly. Be decent as a human being, just like being a ghost!"

After she said that, her palms felt warm, but Xiao Fengming secretly held her hand.
