Chapter 142 Common Enemy
Jingpin and others answered silently in their hearts: We don’t know if the person is okay or not, but he has definitely lost face.
The group walked out of Maple Forest, with the Queen and Concubine Hua Gui walking in front.
[Why did Sun Miaoqing suddenly come to her senses and join forces with the lunatics in advance? ]
Jingpin followed closely: Empress Huaguifei is really a wonderful person now. For this kind of thing, she is not "unable to get over it" but "getting over it".
However, if we consider it from the perspective of physical strength, abandoning the emperor and choosing the madman is really a great idea.
Thinking of this, Jingpin's face flushed slightly: What am I thinking about?
[Did he know that he was about to go down, so he tried to steal the spotlight for himself, or...]
The mastermind behind the scenes was about to be revealed in Nian Shilan's mind.
The Queen stopped immediately and said, "I have something to discuss with Concubine Hua Gui, you two should go back first."
Jingpin felt a pity in her heart: Didn't Concubine Hua Gui say that she would become a Brick Concubine? It would be great if she could ascend to the throne and help manage the six palaces.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
The five people had not taken a few steps when Xin Guiren could not help but say:
"To be honest, Sun Doying really knows how to enjoy life. When we got here, he seemed to be in high spirits. The palace servant who delivered the message went from here to Louyue Kaiyun, and then to the imperial carriage coming back. For such a long time, he didn't even stop..."
Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang didn't dare to respond. Concubine Cao laughed and said, "Sister Xin, you have such a big mouth..."
Xin Guiren bumped into her, "Eh? Do you think she could be considered as 'dying under the peony flowers, and being a ghost is also romantic'?"
"Sister Xin, please stop talking. The Queen is still behind us."
"Sun agreed. We are all decent people. How dare we have such unreasonable thoughts?"
The sound of several people talking and laughing faded away.
They left the forest first, and Zhen Huan tugged at Shen Meizhuang's sleeve, hinting at something.
Shen Meizhuang separated from the other three on the pretext of sending Zhen Huan back.
"Huan'er, what did you find?"
Zhen Huan said nothing, but took Shen Meizhuang's hand and walked quickly towards Bitong Academy against the night wind.
Nian Shilan complained: "Since you have set up this stage, why do you have to hide it from me?"
[I have never seen this in my lifetime.]
[I always heard about this intense situation from that bitch Zhen Huan. I finally got to see something new, but you kept it a secret from me!]
Huihui?
After leaving the forest, the queen raised her hand and asked the servants to move away. "Did you look at it more than once?"
[Then don't worry about it. Can't I have a little secret? 】
【Eight hundred times.】
Nian Shilan: “…”
The queen smiled.
[There's no place to cover your mouth! 】
【So annoying! 】
Nian Shilan walked forward in annoyance. The Queen stood behind her and asked, "Are you going back, Concubine Huagui?"
【Don’t bother me! 】
[I will go and take care of the emperor! ]
Care about the emperor?
Knowing that the Emperor was upset today, she ran over at this time, adding a few more words in her mind, was she worried that something might happen to him?
Okay.
Nian Shilan said that the drama between Sun Danying and the madman happened before the emperor's death. The queen thought of the wonderful use of this incident and stopped Nian Shilan.
They verbally discussed how to quell the gossip in the harem, but in reality they were teaching her what to think when she met the emperor.
Only by fighting a prepared battle can we avoid answering “eight hundred times” carelessly as we did just now.
The nine provinces are peaceful and tranquil.
Su Peisheng stopped at the door and said that it was getting late and the emperor had already gone to bed.
"Is it Concubine Hua Gui? Let her in."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Peisheng turned around and led the way for Nian Shilan. "Her Majesty Hua Guifei, please."
"Why are you here so late instead of resting in your own palace?"
The emperor sounded a little tired.
[It is said that Sun Danying and the lunatic were making love in the woods, not knowing what heaven and earth were. When the queen led people over, the two of them were sweating profusely.]
[The calls of "Your Majesty" and "My beloved Concubine" were clearly intentional, to make people think that the Emperor was visiting her, so that people would stay away from them after hearing them.]
[But I didn't expect to meet the captain of catching adulterers. Feng Ruozhao has no other skills. She can catch adulterers in the harem. She is so accurate that she even caught your Concubine Su! ]
Concubine Su...
Su Peisheng, right?
Su Peisheng also committed adultery, right?!
What a bunch of bastards! They are so arrogant right under my nose!
The emperor let out a long breath. His lungs, which were already not very smooth to begin with, became even more blocked after hearing Shi Lan's simple words.
"Your Majesty, I was about to go to bed today, but when I heard about Sun's incident, I felt angry. The Queen was kind-hearted and did not deal with Sun immediately, but I thought it was inappropriate."
The emperor knew that the empress was not being soft-hearted but was doing it for the sake of royal dignity, so he would deal with the matter later.
"What do you think, Concubine Hua Gui?"
[This year's maple leaves are not red enough, so why not give Sun a red bow and use her blood to add some color to the maple leaves.]
【Also vent the emperor's anger! 】
A hundred feet of red is light.
According to the emperor's temper, all the criminal laws should be imposed on Sun Shijiazhuang, and then the punishment should be delayed.
"I think that the harem should be governed with an iron fist. Sun Shi disregarded her dignity and caused chaos in the harem. Such a heinous crime should be punished with extreme punishment and executed overnight! To serve as a warning to others! Otherwise, if everyone follows suit in the future, how can there be any rules and regulations in the harem?"
[One seeks the guards, the other seeks the imperial physician, and if that doesn't work, the eunuchs. Who still has the emperor in their eyes? ]
emperor:"……"
"The Empress will take care of matters concerning the harem."
Simply put, the emperor has to have face.
"Yes, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself and don't get angry with people who don't deserve it."
The emperor felt a little emotional. Among all the people in the harem, Shilan was the one who cared about him the most.
[The matter between Agree and the madman is a matter of life and death for the emperor. In his previous life, the emperor was angered to death because of this matter. Now that the matter has happened earlier, does it mean that the emperor's fate in this life has been changed? ]
The emperor thought that if his fate was to be greatly changed by this, he would protect his country and himself.
He just had to wear this green hat.
Zhen Huan took Shen Meizhuang back to Bitong Academy, dismissed the servants and closed the door, then whispered:
"I think we are really saved!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"The Queen was the one behind tonight's events."
"How do you know?"
Zhen Huan didn't have time to answer, "The Queen can also hear Concubine Hua Gui's thoughts."
Shen Meizhuang's eyes widened twice as wide.
"The Empress and Consort Hua are not as at odds as they appear to be. They have already formed an alliance in private."
Shen Meizhuang opened her lips slowly, but she did not ask the reason. Instead, she recalled every word that Concubine Hua Gui had said in her heart after she came.
"The Queen asked us to leave just now. Was it intentional to interrupt the Royal Concubine's thoughts?"
Zhen Huan nodded, "I don't know, but I guess so."
"She knows we can hear... I know!" Shen Meizhuang thought of the title, "The Queen has long known that I can hear Consort Hua Gui's thoughts, she is on guard against me."
"It doesn't matter. She's on guard against you because she's probably worried that you'll treat Concubine Hua Gui the same way you did in your previous life."
Zhen Huan held Shen Meizhuang's hand. Perhaps because of excitement, her hand trembled slightly. "But in the harem today, all of us have only one enemy."
Distinguishing between friends and enemies will be beneficial to your overall plan.
Shen Meizhuang: "Your Majesty."
Zhen Huan nodded deeply.
"Sister, do you have an idea?"
Zhen Huan looked at Shen Meizhuang and said firmly, "Since the harem is a whole, we should work together."
