Chapter 209: Each with His Own Agenda
Shangguan Jing looked flustered: "Qin Junyi brought me here, he shouldn't harm me."
"Could it be that the father and son consulted Qin Junyi before they attacked you?" Concubine Chen stared at Shangguan Jing, who still harbored illusions about Emperor Rende and the Crown Prince, and said coldly, "If it weren't for Qin Junyi, would you have been able to come to the palace with peace of mind?"
At this moment, Shangguan Jing had a sense of dislocation, as if he had escaped a disaster but fell into another predicament.
As she spoke, Concubine Chen looked at Eunuch Qian who was waiting beside her and said, "Hurry up and make arrangements to send Jing'er out of the palace."
Eunuch Qian looked at Concubine Chen with a hint of worry: "Your Majesty, the young marquis of the Qin family sent Master Shangguan to Changle Palace. The emperor must know about this. If Master Shangguan is not seen in Changle Palace, the emperor will probably..."
If Shangguan Jing is missing in Changle Palace, Concubine Chen will naturally be involved.
Shangguan Jing also understood what Eunuch Qian meant: "I am sorry to have caused trouble for the Empress."
"Jing'er." Concubine Chen glanced at Eunuch Qian and stepped forward: "You can't get into trouble. If you get into trouble, how can I explain it to your father?"
How could Concubine Chen lose Shangguan Yan, her most powerful chess piece, at this critical juncture?
"If I leave your palace, how will you explain to the emperor?" Shangguan Jing was also completely confused. After escaping from Prince Wei's Mansion, he found that Bianjing was no longer the same as it was before he fell into the hands of Prince Wei.
It seems like everything has changed.
"Don't worry about these things. I have a way." As Concubine Chen spoke, her eyes fell on Eunuch Qian again. "Why don't you make arrangements quickly and take him out of the palace?"
"Your Majesty." Eunuch Qian continued with his eyelids drooping, "I'm afraid it's really impossible to leave the palace now. Right now, we must first get Master Shangguan out of Changle Palace. I will take Master Shangguan and hide him first."
Only then did Empress Chen calm down. She naturally had a way to explain how Shangguan Jing left Changle Palace.
But she didn't expect that it would be extremely difficult to leave the palace at this time.
"Yes, take Jing'er and hide first." Concubine Chen took a breath and said, "It is definitely not a good thing for the emperor to let the young marquis of the Qin family bring Jing'er into the palace at this time. Hide first."
After hearing this, Eunuch Qian made a "please" gesture towards Shangguan Jing: "Master Shangguan, please."
Shangguan Jing gave Concubine Chen a complicated look, then followed Eunuch Qian towards the gate.
Concubine Chen stared at Shangguan Jing's back, and her hands crossed tightly together.
At this time, Shangguan Jing suddenly appeared in her Changle Palace. This was too strange, too strange.
The caution she had taken over the years made Concubine Chen realize that this matter was not simple.
She had to solve this sudden trouble.
No matter what the reason is for Shangguan Jing's sudden appearance here, she must not be involved.
Just as Eunuch Qian took Shangguan Jing away from Changle Palace, Qin Junyi, who was hiding in the dark, became more and more solemn. He wondered if Concubine Chen would really take Shangguan Jing away from Changle Palace as Xie Rongying said. If Concubine Chen really silenced Shangguan Jing for her own benefit, how would he explain to the emperor?
Thinking of this, Qin Junyi followed.
After Qin Junyi left in the direction where Eunuch Qian took Shangguan Jing away, Gu Xun and Luo Jin appeared where Qin Junyi had just stood.
"Miss Luo Jin, now it's up to you." Gu Xun said.
Luo Jin smiled faintly: "Just don't make any mistakes here."
After the words were spoken, the two of them went their separate ways.
Luo Jin followed Qin Junyi's direction.
Gu Xun looked at the Changle Palace in front of him, thinking about what Xie Rongying had told him, and went straight to Changle Palace.
The Concubine Chen in the side hall was a little nervous because she was worried about Eunuch Qian's solution to Shangguan Jing. When she heard footsteps outside, she looked towards the door suddenly, thinking that Eunuch Qian had returned again.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Gu Xun push the door open and walk in.
The moment Concubine Chen met Gu Xun's gaze, her expression turned cold: "Who are you?"
Gu Xun bowed to the Concubine Chen, his tone full of respect: "Your Majesty, my master is Xie Rongying. This time I followed Qin Junyi and Shangguan Jing into the palace. After careful consideration, I should not hide this. After all, Your Majesty and my master are allies."
When Concubine Chen heard the name Xie Rongying, she remembered that there seemed to be such a person when she first called Xie Rongying into the palace.
She asked, "Did you follow Qin Junyi and Shangguan Jing into the palace?"
Gu Xun nodded. "My master has been asking me to keep an eye on Qin Junyi for a while now. Today, Qin Junyi and the Crown Prince's men rescued Shangguan Jing from the Prince of Wei's Mansion and went straight to the Imperial Palace."
"So what do you want to say?" Chen Fei was still a little wary when she heard Xie Rongying, but then she thought that Xie Rongying did have an unusual relationship with her, especially the incident with the Empress Dowager, and she had long looked up to Xie Rongying.
"After Qin Junyi sent Shangguan Jing to the Empress's palace, he hid in the dark. Just now, the people around the Empress took Shangguan Jing away from Changle Palace, and Qin Junyi followed them."
"What!?" The Concubine Chen raised her voice: "Qin Junyi didn't go to the emperor's place?"
"Where is the emperor?" Gu Xun raised his eyebrows in confusion.
Concubine Chen stared at Gu Xun coldly.
Gu Xun said again: "Could it be that Qin Junyi asked Shangguan Jing to come to the Empress to test the Empress?"
"What do you mean?" Concubine Chen already felt like she had fallen into someone's trap. After all, she really wanted to get rid of Shangguan Jing, and Qin Junyi really sent Shangguan Jing to her.
Gu Xun said, "Your Majesty should be aware of the relationship between Qin Junyi and Shangguan Jing, so why did Your Majesty ask someone to take Shangguan Jing away?"
The concubine Chen's expression was even uglier.
Gu Xun continued, "I think Her Majesty has realized that Shangguan Jing's sudden arrival is a nuisance. If it's a nuisance, it should be resolved. The Emperor also knows the relationship between Shangguan Jing and Her Majesty. If Her Majesty's people want to deal with Shangguan Jing at this time, does it mean that Her Majesty no longer wants the Emperor's family and Shangguan Yan to maintain a peaceful relationship?"
"When your Majesty's people were about to deal with Shangguan Jing, Qin Junyi appeared and rescued Shangguan Jing once again, and made Shangguan Jing understand your intentions."
"Qin Junyi is creating a rift between you, Your Majesty, and the Shangguan family. If this gets brought before the Emperor, it will create a rift between you and the Emperor. After all, the Crown Prince has always wanted to win over the Shangguan family. In the eyes of these people, Your Majesty is opposing the Crown Prince."
"In this way, Qin Junyi, with just one simple move, has stirred up everyone's dissatisfaction with you, Your Majesty."
Sure enough, after hearing what Gu Xun said, Chen Fei's eyes became even colder.
"Why is Qin Junyi targeting me?!" said the Concubine Chen in a cold voice.
Gu Xun said, "Qin Junyi has devoted himself to the Crown Prince. The Second Prince is now a handsome young man and is deeply favored by the emperor. However, the Crown Prince is a bit mediocre. I think the Crown Prince has a sense of crisis and wants to solve the problem at its root."
"Asshole!" The Concubine Chen shouted angrily, "I have never coveted anything that I shouldn't covet!"
Gu Xun lowered his eyes slightly: "But the prince doesn't think so."
"What should I do?" The Concubine Chen's face was indeed a little panicked.
