Young Liang Zhu
Tuozan now saw that Wang Baochuan was still alive,
It was a kind of tolerance for herself,
How could she still allow her to go to his bedchamber with Xue Pinggui,
If that was really the case, she would definitely be scratching her heart and liver.
"No,
Why don't you let sister go to my Western Palace first and suffer for a night. The Yukun Palace is closer to my place,
Sister has been frightened tonight. It's better for her to rest quickly. His Majesty has to deal with matters,
So as not to disturb him. "
If Siyang wasn't really..,
She wasn't interested in a man like Xue Pinggui at all..,
She really wanted to follow his wishes and go to the bedchamber with him. Not only was it beneficial to her..,
She could also see Tuozan's twisted face,
Why not.
But she didn't want to wrong herself,
She didn't want to share a bed with a man who disgusted her. So after thinking for a moment, she followed Tuozan's words and said, "Sister is right,
His Majesty has just ascended the throne,
He has worked hard day and night,
This concubine really shouldn't have troubled you. "
The last sentence was said to Xue Pinggui,
After he heard it..,
He looked at the two of them,
In addition, there were other things pressing down on his mind,
He didn't dwell too much on this aspect.
"In that case, my beloved concubine will take care of the Empress tonight." With a sigh, Xue Pinggui opened his arms and hugged Siyang and Tuozan's shoulders. His tone was filled with relief, "speaking of which, I only have two concubines, the Empress and the Western Palace. You two sisters should also have a good chat together and cultivate your relationship."
"Your Majesty's words are reasonable." Tuozan smiled and nodded. She held Siyang with one hand and her face was full of sisterly affection. However, only she knew what she was thinking in her heart.
Siyang sneered in her heart. In the end, she didn't show anything on her face. She just went along with it, showing her gentleness and gentleness to the fullest.
The assassin had been in a daze the entire time and hadn't been able to say a word before he was sent to prison. Si Yang didn't care about the interrogation or the results. She didn't think that an assassin would be able to drag Hawksbill down. Even if the assassin confessed, Xue Pinggui wouldn't touch a single hair on Hawksbill's head. On the contrary, if she didn't let him go, she would expose herself.
In any case, he had already achieved his goal tonight. There were some things that needed to be slowly infiltrated. For example, more than half of the people in the palace were Xiliang. Furthermore, everyone had more faith in Tuozan than in Xue Pinggui.
She believed that no one in power would allow such a thing to happen. Even if they couldn't make a move now, how could they allow others to sleep beside their bed? Sooner or later, they would have to settle the score.
Wang Baochuan was a kind person. She would follow her character.
That night, Siyang followed Tuozan to her Western Palace to rest. The Western Palace wasn't as gorgeous as the main palace, but its furnishings were much better than her Yukun Palace.
She said that the sisterhood was deep and that they should cultivate their relationship. Jin Zan was proud and arrogant. It was okay to pretend in front of Xue Pinggui, but she didn't have the leisure to face Wang Baochuan. Si Yang thought the same.
The next day, after returning to the Yukun Palace, Siyang heard the news that the assassin had committed suicide in the prison by biting his tongue.
"It seems that His Majesty has made a decision."
After last night's incident, many people were dispatched to the Yukun Palace. The guards were also increased. It seemed to be to appease Siyang. Xue Pinggui also sent a large number of rewards along with the news.
Siyang didn't refuse any of them. She accepted all of them. It would be a waste if she didn't accept them. The assassin's death was within her expectations. She didn't feel angry.
"How could Your Majesty do this? Wasn't that assassin obvious?" Siyang didn't care about it, but Cui 'er was still angry.
Siyang handed the new palace servants to a few old nannies. She took Cui 'er out for a walk.
Looking at Cui 'er's angry face, Siyang laughed. "Didn't I already say it?"
The commander of the imperial guards was Xiliang's man. When the assassin was caught, he obviously wanted to protect him. Cui 'er rushed out to beg Xue Pinggui. This was all within her calculations. Siyang had also said the result.
Cui 'er was still depressed. "Even so, Miss, we can't just let them bully us. Now that His Majesty is protecting Imperial Consort Niangniang like this, I'm afraid there won't be a place for you in the future."
The morning dew was heavy. After taking two steps, the hem of her clothes was wet. The master and servant stood on a small bridge. This place was remote and quiet with no one around.
Cui 'er supported her Miss and sighed. "Don't blame this servant for talking too much. I'm just worried."
It was now autumn. Many yellow leaves had fallen on the lake under the bridge. They drifted with the waves. In the distance, they could see people tending to it.
"The assassin has been used. What place do you think there will be?"
Whether it was Xue Pinggui or Tuozan, none of them wanted Wang Baochuan to live well.
Tuozan couldn't wait for her to die now so that she could give way to her. As for Xue Pinggui, he was bound by morals and couldn't act openly. However, he had many tricks up his sleeves. He also deliberately let Tuozan go. This showed how ruthless he was as a hypocrite.
"Cui 'er, I know what you want to say. You want to leave the palace, right?" Staring at the blue sky, Siyang shook her head slowly and softly. However, the words that came out of her mouth were filled with anger. "I waited for Xue Pinggui for eighteen years. It's one thing for him to be heartless, but he also used me, his wife, to save his reputation as an emperor. Now that I'm no longer useful, he wants to kick me away. How can it be so simple?"
Cui 'er felt the arm that she was supporting tighten in an instant.
"If they don't return what they owe me, I won't be satisfied even if I die." Siyang was saying what Wang Baochuan was thinking.
"So, I won't leave. I won't let them off so easily. Tuozan wants the position of empress, so I'm going to sit there firmly and steadily. Xue Pinggui wants me to die, so I'm going to live longer than him. Not only that, this world … Who?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Siyang's expression hardened. She looked down at the small bridge. Her sharp intuition allowed her to discover a hidden person.
Cui 'er jumped in fright and also looked down. There was a row of parasol trees under the bridge. The branches and leaves were lush. Could someone be hiding there?
Seeing that her shout didn't call out the person, Siyang was slightly displeased. Her slightly raised almond-shaped eyes narrowed.
The row of parasol trees was so close that one person couldn't wrap his arms around each of them. A corner of indigo-colored clothes flashed out.
Cui 'er covered her mouth in surprise when she saw it. There was really someone there. Then she panicked. What they said just now, could it be …
Siyang's expression didn't change. She patted her gently to comfort her. Her eyes were fixed on that place, waiting for that person to appear.
The territory of the Central Plains was vast, and now he had a strong army under his command. He wanted to intimidate the foreign states and vassal states, and to show off his national prestige, so that he could sit firmly on the throne of the newly appointed emperor. All these were naturally necessary.
In this banquet, the emperor and empress were one, so they had to go in and out together.
Looking at the newly made luxurious phoenix robe, it was no wonder that Tuozan was so anxious about Wang Baochuan's death.
If Wang Baochuan didn't die, how could she give up the throne? This kind of banquet was rare in one's life. It represented the highest authority and supreme splendor. Thinking about it, it should have been her, but she could only watch it happen. Someone as proud as Tuozan couldn't bear it.
"This phoenix robe is really beautiful." After the robe was delivered, Cui 'er's eyes didn't leave it. She didn't study and couldn't describe it well. After tossing and turning, she could only use the word "beautiful".
Siyang leisurely applied nail polish on her manicured nails. After a brief glance, she withdrew her gaze.
"It was made according to the dragon robe. This is inevitable."
"Young Miss, quickly try it on. It will definitely look good on you." Cui 'er carefully touched her nails. Her eyes sparkled as she looked expectantly at Siyang.
After she finished applying the last nail, the little palace maid kneeling beside her carefully fanned her nails.
Siyang was sitting on the couch and talking when footsteps came from outside the bedchamber. She raised her eyebrows. In the next moment, a familiar figure appeared. She was dressed gorgeously and her accessories jingled as she walked.
Tuozan walked in with a cold and bright face.
She immediately saw the phoenix robe that had been placed on the table. That phoenix robe was too eye-catching. It was hard not to notice it.
When she saw this, her expression immediately became unsightly.
"Younger Sister, how come you have the time to visit Older Sister?" Siyang's lips curved, but she didn't get up to greet her.
Older Sister? Was she worthy?
Tuozan's eyes were ice cold. She had never treated Wang Baochuan as a good sister. Those so-called older and younger sisters were just for show. At that time, she thought that this woman wouldn't live for long anyway. Taking advantage of her could be considered as accumulating some good karma.
Unexpectedly, not only did this person not die, she was living more and more freely. Just look at her now.
"Phoenix robe." Tuozan's hand caressed the exquisitely embroidered robe. Flames danced in her eyes.
"That's right. It's the phoenix robe that was rushed out for this consort."
Siyang got up from the couch and walked over. She casually shook open the robe. The bright red robe had a phoenix embroidered with golden thread. Its wings were spread out and the feathers of the phoenix were dazzling.
"Does it look good?" Siyang unfolded the robe in front of Tuozan's eyes and looked at her with a smile.
Tuozan's hands clenched tightly. She loosened them and clenched them again. However, even if Tuozan wanted to deceive herself, she couldn't. Wang Baochuan was clearly provoking her.
"Are you very proud?" Tuozan glared angrily at Siyang. She gritted her teeth and squeezed out these words.
"Hm?" Siyang hesitated slightly. She raised her eyebrows with a half smile: "Younger Sister, how can you say that? What is there to be proud of? Isn't this mine?"
"You dare to call yourself that in front of this consort?" Finally, Tuozan couldn't take it anymore. Endless resentment appeared between her brows. She took a step forward and fiercely grabbed the phoenix robe in Siyang's hands. She suppressed her anger and hatred: "You're just a small commoner girl. This consort is the Honorable Princess of Xiliang. I'm giving you some face by calling you Older Sister. Do you really think you're the Empress?"
Cui 'er couldn't see this and hurriedly stepped forward: "Little …"
Siyang calmly raised her hand to stop her. During this time, Cui 'er had been exceptionally obedient after being drugged. Seeing this, even though she was anxious, she still stopped in her tracks.
Her gaze calmly met Tuozan's burning eyes. Siyang's expression was calm. She lowered her head to look at the hand on the phoenix robe. She used so much force that the robe wrinkled and changed its shape. She frowned slightly. She also had to wear this robe in front of others.
"Younger Sister, you're from Xiliang. Older Sister understands, but I still want to give you a good lesson."
"You want to give me a lesson?" As if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, Tuozan laughed coldly. She wanted to see what kind of lesson Siyang was going to give her.
"First, you're the Western Liang Princess. I'm also the daughter of the Prime Minister. You're from a small country like Xiliang and I'm from a large country like the Central Plains. In terms of status, I'm not inferior to you."
"Ridiculous." Tuozan didn't hold back her sarcasm: "You've long severed ties with your parents. Your father has also been executed. What kind of Prime Minister's daughter are you?"
Siyang was unmoved and didn't feel embarrassed: "So what I want to say is, your Imperial Father has long passed away. The Central Plains and Xiliang have merged into one. They both belong to the current Emperor. You're no longer the Western Liang Princess. You're just a small concubine in the imperial harem."
"A small concubine? Ha." Tuozan was thoroughly angered by this sentence. She was also angry. She glared at Siyang with red eyes and shouted: "I'm the successor of Xiliang. As long as I, Tuozan, am alive, I'm the Princess of Xiliang. I have the absolute right to speak."
As Tuozan's personal maid, Aya wanted to stop the Princess today. However, she didn't manage to do so in the end. When she came to Yukun Palace, she didn't say much because she felt sorry for the Princess. However, when she saw the faint smile on Siyang's face, she felt something was wrong. When she suddenly heard the Princess's words, her heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly stepped forward: "Princess, please calm down. You and His Majesty are one. This is natural. As the Princess of Western Liang Princess, no one can deny this."
Siyang looked at Aya a few more times. Tuozan had a sensible person by her side. It was a pity that she didn't do anything sensible.
"Let's not talk about status first." Siyang lowered her head and slowly put her hand on Tuozan's hand that was holding the phoenix robe. She spoke and moved at the same time: "I'm His Majesty's first wife. First come, first served. Princess, no matter how honorable you are, to put it nicely, you're a noble consort. To put it bluntly, you're a concubine …" Her voice gradually lowered. She gently used her fingers to pry open Tuozan's tightly clenched fingers one by one.
She leaned forward. Her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible. However, Tuozan heard it clearly.
"Princess, your two children are also the son and daughter of a concubine. They are born of a concubine but not of the first wife. I don't know if His Majesty will hesitate to appoint the Crown Prince after I give birth to a son of the first wife."
"You …" Tuozan's pupils shrank in an instant. Before she could get angry at Siyang's words, Tuozan couldn't help but think about the second half of the sentence.
Xue Pinggui, he …
Siyang clearly wasn't pressing down on her, but Tuozan felt that she couldn't breathe. Her chest rose and fell faster. Coupled with the piercing pain from her fingers, she finally couldn't bear it and pushed forward: "Get out of my way."
Seeing the person who appeared at the door as expected, Siyang took advantage of the opportunity to fall back.
"Wangye, there's no need to be so polite." Although she didn't know who he was, Siyang heard how the little eunuch called her.
"Your servant didn't know, Your Highness. Please forgive me for disturbing you."
This little eunuch was one of Xue Pinggui's people. However, looking at his fearful appearance, Siyang felt that Xue Pinggui's acting was too good. Most people were fooled. Those who didn't know would think that he was favored.
Perhaps there was a fact that no one noticed. Ever since Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan were reunited, they didn't have sex.
It could be seen that when faced with Wang Baochuan's deteriorating appearance, even Xue Pinggui, who boasted of his unrepentant love, couldn't do it. Moreover, there was Princess Tuozan, who was like a delicate flower beside him.
"What are you saying? The Imperial Garden is so big. It's not my place. It's not a disturbance." Siyang didn't move from her seat. She said to the little eunuch: "You're one of His Majesty's people. Presumably, His Majesty wants to see Wangye. You have an errand. It's better to go as soon as possible."
The little eunuch was indeed anxious. Hearing this, he sighed and climbed up from the ground: "Your servant will leave now."
After speaking, he reached out to the person beside him and said: "Wangye, let's go. Don't make His Majesty wait."
That person didn't say anything else. He just cupped his hands and nodded in Siyang's direction, indicating that he wanted to leave.
"Wangye, take care."
When the figure disappeared, Siyang held her chin and muttered to herself: "Which Wangye was that?"
Xue Pinggui didn't have any siblings. This definitely had nothing to do with him.
"Miss, that was the Runan Of Gojoseon."
As expected, Cui 'er didn't disappoint Siyang.
"The Runan Of Gojoseon is …" Cui 'er raised her hand and pointed to the sky. Seeing that there were no outsiders around, she leaned closer to Siyang and whispered: "That was the younger brother of the previous Emperor."
The previous Emperor was the one who had his throne stolen by Xue Pinggui, the previous Emperor who had dug his own grave. If that was the case, then that person just now really was Wangye.
"I heard that this Wangye was bestowed the title of King early on, bestowed with land, and became an idle Wangye in Runan." Cui 'er said with sympathy: "Speaking of which, he was really unlucky. All of a sudden … he almost became a commoner from Wangye."
Almost? That meant no more.
"His Majesty ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the people. The Runan Of Gojoseon's title was returned to him, but now he can only stay in the capital as an idle King."
"So that's how it is."
In one night, the people under the heavens changed. His title of Wangye was worthless, his land was gone, and he could only stay in the capital as a watched Wangye for the rest of his life. He had to behave himself with his tail between his legs. No wonder he was so reserved when he saw her, the Empress.
However, she seemed to have discovered something else interesting.
After strolling around the Imperial Garden for a while, Siyang leisurely returned to her bedroom. Her leisurely appearance made Cui 'er anxious. She didn't even know what her Miss was planning.
"Look, look, Aya." Tuozan fiercely clutched the handkerchief in her hand, so hard that it almost deformed. Her eyes were red as she shouted: "You said everything was going according to plan. But now, Wang Baochuan is still alive and well. He doesn't look like a dying person at all."
