Investiture of the Gods.
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 listening to it, he
Looked at the two of them. In addition, he had other things to worry about.
He didn't dwell too much on this matter.
"Since that's the case, then the empress will be taken care of by my beloved concubine tonight." He sighed.
Xue Pinggui opened his arms.
He hugged Siyang and Tuozan's shoulders.
His tone was gratified. "Speaking of which,
I only have two concubines, the Empress and the West Palace.
You two sisters should have a good chat together.
Cultivate your relationship. "
"Your Majesty is right." Tuozan smiled and nodded. She held Siyang with one hand and her face was full of sisterly affection.
However, she was probably the only one who 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 echoed.
She was gentle and virtuous.
She was full of tenderness and virtue.
The assassin was in a daze and couldn't say a word.
Siyang didn't care about the interrogation and the results. She didn't think that an assassin could pull Tuozan down. Not to mention whether the assassin would confess to her, even if he did, Xue Pinggui wouldn't touch a single hair on Tuozan. On the contrary, if she didn't let go, she would expose herself.
Anyway, she had achieved her goal tonight. Some things needed to be slowly infiltrated. For example, more than half of the people in the palace were from Xiliang. Moreover, everyone had more faith in Tuozan than in Xue Pinggui.
He believed that no one in power would allow such a thing to happen. Even if they could not make a move now, how could they allow others to sleep beside them? Sooner or later, they would have to settle the score.
Wang Baochuan was a kind person, so she would just follow her character.
That night, Siyang followed Tuozan to her Western Palace to rest. The Western Palace was not as magnificent as the main palace, but the decorations were much better than her Jade Earth Palace.
She said that the sisterhood was deep and that they should cultivate their relationship. Bingzan was proud and arrogant. She could pretend in front of Xue Pinggui, but she didn't have the leisure to face Wang Baochuan. Si Yang thought the same.
When he returned to the Jade Earth Palace the next day, Siyang heard the news that the assassin had committed suicide by biting his tongue in prison.
"It seems that His Majesty has made a decision."
After last night's incident, more people were sent to the Jade Earth Palace today. 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 accepted all the rewards. It would be a waste if she didn't accept them. The assassin's death was within her expectations, so 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 tell you earlier?"
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 told her the result.
Cui 'er was still depressed. "Even so, Young Miss, we can't just let them bully us. Now that His Majesty is protecting Imperial Concubine Niangniang like this, I'm afraid there won't be a place for you in the future."
The morning dew was heavy. After two steps, the hem of her clothes was wet. The master and servant stood on a small bridge. It was remote and quiet with no one around.
Cui 'er supported her young miss and sighed. "Don't blame this servant for talking too much. I'm just worried."
It was autumn. Many yellow leaves had fallen from the lake under the bridge. They drifted with the waves. In the distance, they could see people taking care of 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 morality and couldn't act openly. However, he had many tricks up his sleeves. He also deliberately let Tuozan go. This showed how cruel he was.
"Cui 'er, I know what you want to say. Leave the palace, this place of trouble, right?" Staring at the blue sky, Siyang shook her head slowly and softly. However, the words she said were full of anger. "I waited for Xue Pinggui for 18 years. It's fine if he was unfaithful, but he 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 she was supporting tighten in an instant.
"If they don't pay back 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, I'm going to take this world … Who is it?"
When she stopped speaking, Siyang's expression hardened. She looked down at the small bridge. Her sharp intuition told her that there was someone hiding there.
Cui 'er jumped in fright and looked down as well. There was a row of parasol trees under the bridge. They were lush with leaves. 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.
When Cui 'er saw it, she covered her mouth in surprise. 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 in that direction, waiting for that person to appear.
"What the hell is going on?"
She glanced at Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan holding hands and looking at each other affectionately. Tuozan's eyes burned.
Without thinking, she rushed over and squeezed the two of them away. She pretended not to know anything and held Siyang's hand. "Sister, I heard that an assassin entered the palace. Are you hurt?" She looked at Siyang from head to toe. She seemed to be really worried.
At this moment, Si Yang was very good. Other than her face, which seemed to be slightly pale from fright, she didn't see any injuries at all. Si Yang felt that she was about to see the disappointment in her eyes.
Seeing this, Huan Zan took a deep breath. Without waiting for the others to speak, she turned her head and pointed at the assassin with a sharp gaze. She shouted to the crowd, "Since the assassin has been caught, hurry up and throw him into prison. What are you waiting for?"
"If the assassin has an accomplice and injures His Majesty and the Empress, how will you be punished?"
"Yes, I'll wait and take the assassin away." The imperial guards hurriedly cupped their hands and bowed. They called for people to take the assassin away.
