Chapter 316 Conspiracy



"How come Lord Kong has time to come to my place today?" Nan Yue walked in, surrounded by her maids.

Kong Chenyang pretended to stand up and bowed, then without waiting for Nanyue to speak, he sat down and took a sip of the tea brought by the maid.

"Who is so blind as to make Her Majesty unhappy and let Her Majesty vent her anger on a bunch of lowly palace servants?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Yue immediately remembered the confrontation with Qin Xuelin in the Taiji Hall not long ago. He snorted coldly and lost face on the spot.

"It's because of that bitch, Concubine Hui, who hangs around that old man all day and bothers me!" Nan Yue looked at Kong Chenyang with great dissatisfaction: "Come to think of it, I heard from the servants before that they had asked Lord Kong whether to stop Concubine Hui from visiting His Majesty. Lord Kong, you were so kind to her that you couldn't bear to refuse her, so you agreed?"

Nan Yue was filled with indignation. She felt that if Kong Chenyang had not seen Concubine Hui's beauty, how could he have allowed someone to approach the emperor at such a critical moment.

All in all, men value beauty the most.

Kong Chenyang chuckled nonchalantly, put the teacup in his hand on the table, turned to look at Nanyue, and said calmly: "She is just a little concubine. She has no family background and no children. She is not a threat to you at all. Now that you are the queen, why bother to compete with her and lower your status."

Kong Chenyang's words were very pleasing to Nan Yue's ears. Her expression brightened instantly, and she said arrogantly, "Master Kong is right. I don't need to bother with someone like her who has neither status nor power. She is just a poor woman in the deep palace. Her husband is about to die, and her only hope is about to be gone."

"Your Majesty is absolutely right." Kong Chenyang sneered in his heart, but agreed with her on his face.

Nan Yue was satisfied, her self-esteem was satisfied, and she also wanted to ask Kong Chenyang why he came.

"Master Kong, what brings you here this time? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Kong Chenyang nodded and explained the purpose of his visit: "It's about the matter of Concubine Xian and Prince Liang. I sent someone to inform Your Majesty before, but Concubine Xian seems to be more and more untrue in recent days. Your Majesty must know that Concubine Xian is not in our plan. If she escapes our control one day, it will not be a good thing for you and me."

Speaking of Concubine Xian, she has been attracting a lot of attention recently. Not only has she summoned Prince Liang into the palace one after another, but she has also been blatantly trying to win over court officials, as if she was afraid that others would not know that she intends to have Prince Liang ascend the throne.

Nan Yue couldn't help but frown when she heard that. She really disliked her aunt, Concubine Xian. However, in order for the King of Liang to be smoothly controlled by her in the future, Concubine Xian had to stay for a while longer, otherwise she would have executed her long ago.

"I know what's going on with this matter. I'll find a time to talk to her tomorrow. Lord Kong, don't worry. Actually, we originally planned to support Prince Liang to succeed to the throne. It's reasonable for Concubine Xian to do this. Lord Kong, don't panic and lose your composure."

Kong Chenyang looked at Nanyue sarcastically as if he had heard something out of the Arabian Nights. "My queen, don't forget that His Majesty has not passed away yet. At this time, Concubine Xian is trying to win over the court officials and form a clique for personal gain. Prince Liang has no edict of succession, and he is not the crown prince. You know what this behavior means. It means treason. Concubine Xian is courting death!"

The emperor has not passed away yet, but the prince has already started to monopolize business everywhere, hoping that someone will support him to become the emperor. If this is not treason, what is it?

Nan Yue, however, didn't care: "Your Majesty is a person of such character that he will die sooner or later anyway, so why are you making a fuss about it? In the capital, unless His Majesty wakes up, no one can do anything to you or me."

Kong Chenyang smiled and said, "Since the queen thinks there is nothing to worry about, then just treat it as me making a fuss. Well, it's getting late, I have to leave the palace. Goodbye."

Nan Yue saw Kong Chenyang was about to leave, so she quickly stood up and asked, "You told me at the time that you kept the emperor alive to prevent the Night King from raising an army. Now that so much time has passed, when do you plan to take action? And why did Lu Yanluo leave the capital so easily? There have been frequent reports of Tatuo's defeat from Tianque Pass. When do you plan to kill Chu Xuan and Lu Yanluo?"

Nan Yue was thinking about when she could kill Lu Yanluo to relieve her hatred, but who would have thought that Lu Yanluo left Beijing overnight. How could she be willing to accept this?

She had originally planned to have Lu Yanluo kowtow to her three times and nine times on the day of the coronation ceremony, humiliating her to the utmost, and then step by step in front of Lu Yanluo to reach the supreme position. However, Lu Yanluo was gone before the ceremony.

Kong Chenyang only said that he realized this matter later. When Lu Yanluo left Beijing, she was not alone, but went with Prince Su Chuchen. The soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to stop them. After letting her go, they immediately went to look for Kong Chenyang, but Kong Chenyang was busy with other things at the time and did not receive the news in time.

When he realized something was wrong and tried to catch up with Lu Yanluo and Chu Chen, it was too late. Lu Yanluo and Chu Chen had long disappeared.

As the saying goes, letting the tiger go back to the mountains, originally for Chu Xuan, Lu Yanluo was his constraint. When Kong Chenyang instigated the emperor to send Chu Xuan to the war, he deliberately left Lu Yanluo in the capital in order to threaten Chu Xuan at the critical moment and make him dare not act rashly.

But the current situation is that the attempt to steal the chicken fails and both sides lose the rice. There are frequent good news from Tianque Pass, and food and grass from Qingzhou have been delivered. News has also come from Tongzhou that Wang Jiyang has died, leaving only his sister Wang Yueniang. This move of Tongzhou has also failed.

Kong Chenyang sighed secretly. There has been really no news recently.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about this matter. I will make the decision myself. You just need to keep an eye on Concubine Xian and don't let her hold us back."

Kong Chenyang didn't stay. Regardless of Nan Yue's dissatisfaction, he got up and left.

This was the second time today that Nan Yue watched someone leave.

With a bang, the teacup on the table was smashed into pieces. Nan Yue was furious and shouted, "Why are you all so arrogant? Who do you think you are? How dare you challenge me? I am the Empress of the Central Palace!"

After the fight, Nan Yue was still not satisfied, so she grabbed the palace servants around her and started to make trouble. Within a day, wailing sounds were heard again in Changning Palace.

Guanju Palace.

The little palace maid walked briskly into the palace and whispered in Qin Xuelin's ear, "Kong Chenyang went to Changning Palace, said a few words to Nanyue and then left. It seems that something unpleasant happened between the two of them. After Kong Chenyang left, Nanyue got really angry."

Qin Xuelin nodded after hearing this and said to the palace maid, "Thank you for your hard work. I have been helped to gather information recently."
