Chapter 296 The Revengeful Man
The appearance of Hu Lier made Xu Meir's heart alarmed.
After the selection was over, An Yunxi and Ling Fengxun were about to leave the hall, but suddenly saw a figure chasing after them.
Xu Meir quickened her pace. The queen's gorgeous clothes made her look elegant and noble, but the hurried atmosphere at this moment made her inexplicably become a little bit more frightened.
"Princess, please stay!"
An Yunxi stopped and turned to look at Xu Meir with a slightly puzzled look.
Xu Meir came over with a phoenix robe, and the phoenix embroidered with gold thread had wrinkles.
"Queen, is there anything important?"
If an ordinary woman saw the queen, she would definitely perform a great ceremony.
But An Yunxi was the only one who didn't need to do that.
Because she is the powerful Regent Princess, and even the elder of the Empress and the Emperor.
Xu Meir showed a smile on her face, and then took the initiative to bow.
"I just learned that the list of beauties for this beauty pageant was personally selected by the Princess."
She inquired before leaving, and learned the whole story from the maid beside the Concubine Dowager.
When she thought of the appearance of the large group of beauties, Xu Meir suddenly felt that she might be able to make friends with this Regent Princess.
This time, An Yunxi, as the Regent Princess, secretly helped her a lot!
Moreover, those who host the beauty pageant and even manipulate the Emperor's beauty pageant are powerful. If she has An Yunxi's help behind her, many troubles can be easily solved.
As for what to do if their interests conflict after they have used the person?
When it is time to strike, she will definitely not be soft-handed.
An Yunxi smiled instantly, and a strange color flashed across her eyes.
Ling Fengxun's tone was cold, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "Does the queen have any objections?"
Upon hearing the cold and piercing voice, Xu Meir couldn't help trembling in her heart, and her face turned a little pale.
Thinking of the man who had no sympathy for her and didn't care about her status at the time, and beat her at will, Xu Meir still has some psychological shadows.
She laughed dryly: "How could I disagree with what Uncle Xian said? I can't even thank the princess in time."
When she heard that she was going to be thanked, An Yunxi instantly became interested.
She couldn't help but curl her lips and smile, and her already beautiful face became more charming and stunning.
"What did the Queen say?"
Xu Meir seemed to have seen through everything. She lowered her voice and said: "The women chosen by the princess are all ugly. She must not want them to enter the palace and compete with me for my favor. This friendship will definitely be remembered in my heart."
She suddenly thought of the hairpin she gave to An Yunxi last time.
Although she knew that there was something wrong with the hairpin, An Yunxi didn't know?
During that exchange, she must have left a good impression on An Yunxi, and it must be because of this that she helped her in the beauty selection.
An Yunxi seemed to have guessed what Xu Meir was thinking, and she covered her lips to hide her smile.
Then she coughed and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to thank me. It is my duty to select beauties for the emperor."
Xu Meir smiled and said, "I wonder if there is anything about the young lady of the Hu family that caught the princess's eye?"
Her main purpose was to find out information.
Hu Lier's participation in the beauty selection was definitely related to An Yunxi, and there might be some deal between the two.
If she could find out and get rid of her with An Yunxi's hand, she could also give An Yunxi more benefits.
An Yunxi showed a bit of embarrassment on her face, and then said: "I am not very clear about this young lady of the Hu family. The list was decided by me and the Queen Mother together. There are also people she chose here. I can't interfere."
"The Queen Mother?"
Xu Meir frowned thoughtfully.
She was relieved and saluted to An Yunxi: "Then I won't bother you, Princess."
After saying this, Xu Meir took her people back to the palace.
An Yunxi looked at the other person's back, and her eyes became a little deeper.
Ling Fengxun stood with his hands behind his back. The cold wind blew his hair at the temples, making his handsome face even colder.
"Xi'er, when the time comes, she will die on her own. There is no need to waste your thoughts on her."
An Yunxi smiled and shook her head: "I know that Beiling and Nanqi will definitely have a tough battle to fight. Xu Meir will die sooner or later. She was sent to Beiling as part of the plan of Emperor Nanqi. Once she dies, Nanqi will have an excuse to attack us, but Xu Meir cannot die in our hands."
She raised the corners of her lips and gently held Ling Fengxun's fingers.
"If you want to kill her, Ling Changyue can only kill her."
Ling Fengxun's dark blue eyes flickered with a faint light, and he touched An Yunxi's cheek.
"You don't want me to be accused of starting a war between the two countries?"
An Yunxi smiled and said, "As long as I use a little trick, I can make the prince's reputation clean, that's the point."
After saying this, she pulled Ling Fengxun's arm.
"Let's go back and wait and see the show."
On the first night of the selection, Ling Changyue directly turned over Hu Li'er's card.
When Hu Li'er first entered the palace, she stood out among the beautiful women, and naturally she was flattered by the palace people.
Even the food and clothing sent to her were all matched according to the position of concubine, and they were all second only to Xu Mei'er.
When she heard that the emperor wanted to summon her, Hu Lier sat quietly in front of the bronze mirror in the room, letting the palace maids dress her up. She looked at the face in the bronze mirror, and a cold look flashed across her eyes.
This was not her original face
. Thanks to the princess, she learned a disguise technique from her and slightly modified her appearance.
Because she was somewhat similar to An Yunxi, she only needed to make a slight change to turn the three-point similarity into five-point similarity.
She was a brothel girl of humble status. This time, she replaced Miss Hu to participate in the selection. The reason why she asked An Yunxi to help her enter the palace was because
A few years ago, she had both parents, a happy family, and brothers and sisters But
now, she can only live in a brothel, her whole family was destroyed, and she didn't have much time to live.
It was because she was the last person whose fate was taken away by Madam Xu of the Southern Qi Kingdom
She only knew these later. She was still young at that time. She only remembered that Madam Xu came to her house and met her father once. Then the family had frequent accidents. First, her father died accidentally, then her mother died of illness, her sister fell into the water, and her brother broke his leg and could no longer walk and chose to commit suicide
She was the only one left in the originally intact family.
The family business was completely swallowed up by others. In order to buy medicine for her brother's treatment, she once sold herself to a brothel, and later wandered to Beiling Kingdom.
Not long ago, she heard that Mrs. Xu's daughter appeared in Beiling Kingdom and became a royal concubine. She didn't sleep for several days and nights, and had been thinking of ways to get close to her.
Now this opportunity has finally come.
