Chapter 438 The concubine is even better?
At the same time, when this matter reached the ears of Queen Mother Shen, a sinister sneer appeared on her lips, "Shangguan Ruizhu, don't you care about your daughter the most? Now go and enjoy the man arranged by the Ai family for you. If Jun Ao knew that you were hanging out with your pretty boy, he might kill you with his own hands."
Aunt Qi came in and said: "Your Majesty, the banquet has already started at Shou'an Palace, and Han Zhaoyi is also locked up. Even if the concubine is caught and raped in bed, she won't say anything nonsense."
"Mama Li has also taken the man to guard Hanxiang Palace. She is just waiting for the concubine to pass by, and the servant will immediately lead people to catch the traitor."
"Sure enough, she is a pretty boy. I didn't expect that the concubine would bring the pretty boy into the palace behind her back." Aunt Qi mocked. After hearing what Aunt Li said, the concubine wanted this pretty boy named Li Shang to serve her when she was in Linzhou, but Never had a chance.
"After being a widow for so many years, there are times when the concubine can't hold on anymore." Aunt Qi added: "She dares to hook up with the regent and offend the queen mother..."
Queen Mother Shen glanced at her, and Nanny Qi immediately stopped talking.
The Queen Mother continued: "Shangguan Ruizhu is very arrogant. What kind of pretty boy made her give up her status as a concubine?"
"My servant has quietly inquired about it. Concubine Shangguan asked Nanny Li to spend money to get through Eunuch Wu. She only brought him into the palace and asked him to do miscellaneous work in the palace. However, he was sweet-tongued and good-looking, so he was very popular with the palace ladies. She likes her, the concubine is also a woman, how can she withstand the coaxing of a man."
Empress Dowager Shen snorted coldly and also sneered. She was also a woman. How could she not understand that this was how Jun Ao deceived her.
Aunt Qi added: "This happened thanks to Aunt Dong's cleverness. As soon as she heard that the Empress Dowager wanted to send Han Zhaoyi out of the palace to have New Year's Eve dinner, she came to tell the slave girl, so her slave girl who rewarded her with a silver reward had the final say. Yes, it’s just that after this incident, I’m afraid she won’t be able to stay in the Empress Dowager’s palace any longer.”
Empress Dowager Shen said: "Just arrange a new place for her to be on duty."
"Alas!" Aunt Qi also said cheerfully. She hadn't seen a smile on the Queen Mother's face for a long time.
At this moment, a puff of smoke rose up from the dormitory. Nanny Qi and Queen Mother Shen felt dizzy and fainted in an instant.
Zeng Yi dressed in night clothes and got into the dormitory. He had the opportunity to come in while the people from Wan'an Palace were drinking and having fun in the room.
So, Zeng Yi wrapped Queen Mother Shen in a cloak, put it on his shoulders and left.
-
On the other side, Shangguan Ruizhu and Shuixian had just arrived at the entrance of Hanxiang Palace and saw that the door was also ajar.
Shangguan Ruizhu pushed the door open and saw Zhilan guarding the yard obediently.
Zhilan twisted the handkerchief tightly with her fingers and tiptoed and bowed: "Slave, please see the concubine."
"If you don't serve Han Zhaoyi in the house, what are you doing outside?" Shangguan Ruizhu said calmly.
"Empress Zhaoyi is dancing inside, I'll go and invite you." Zhilan just took two steps, then turned around and said quickly, "Empress..."
She glanced at someone guarding the door of Hanxiang Palace again, and immediately she didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Shangguan Ruizhu also pretended not to see Zhilan's fear and followed through the door: "What are you doing so slowly? Get out of the way and I'll go in by myself."
Narcissus followed closely with a food box and whispered: "Mother, why didn't you see Aunt Shu? Usually when I come to deliver meals, it's always the food boxes that Aunt Shu inspects herself."
Shangguan Ruizhu already knew that Nanny Li was monitoring the whereabouts of Narcissus. Of course, she also knew the whereabouts of Nanny Li, including who she went to meet.
She said: "Maybe inside."
The next moment, Shangguan Ruizhu and Shuixian had just entered the dormitory, and the door was suddenly closed. Aunt Li suddenly appeared behind her and said: "Empress Zhaoyi and Aunt Shu were invited by the Empress Dowager to have dinner. .”
Narcissus said in surprise: "Godmother, why are you here? Didn't you go drinking?"
"Shuixian, you came to visit Han Zhaoyi with your mother-in-law. You don't even know how to call your godmother. Do you still pay attention to your godmother?" Nanny Li is now a member of Empress Dowager Shen's palace, and she also knows what will happen next. what happens.
She dared to conclude that Yongle Palace would cease to exist starting from tonight.
Narcissus glanced at Shangguan Ruizhu timidly, "Your Majesty."
Shangguan Ruizhu said calmly: "Narcissus, bring out the wine and food. I want to have a drink with Grandma Li today. She has worked hard to serve me for so long."
Grandma Li was stunned.
Narcissus took out the food and wine and put them on the table as she was told. Why did the Dowager Empress's jewelry and clothes disappear? She also knew that it was Zeng Yi who sneaked into Yongle Palace secretly and took them away bit by bit.
Therefore, when the concubine knew that Nanny Li had betrayed her, the concubine sent another message to Zeng Yi to escape tonight.
Shangguan Ruizhu said again: "Sit down. Today is the Chinese New Year. I didn't reward you with silver. I know you are angry."
Aunt Li was startled. She felt like the concubine knew everything.
At this time, Li Shang suddenly emerged from behind the screen wearing a eunuch costume.
His fair face was rosy, as if he had drunk some wine. When he saw the beautiful lady in front of him, he jumped over to her and said, "Godmother, it turns out you brought me to visit the princess." Yes, Godmother, you know I have been thinking about you..."
When Shangguan Ruizhu saw Li Shang, he naturally guessed what means Empress Dowager Shen was going to use to deal with her.
As soon as she gave in, Li Shang jumped in the air, shouting: "Empress..."
Narcissus quickly protected Shangguan Ruizhu, pushed Li Shang to the ground with a fierce push, and said: "Mother Li, why is he here? How dare he speak rudely to the empress?"
Grandma Li said: "It's nothing to do with you. You have taken good care of your Majesty, and you will be rewarded. I also served your Majesty with all my heart, but in the end I got nothing."
"If you want money, I'll give you mine, but why do you..." Narcissus said again: "Empress, let's leave quickly."
"Since the Queen Mother entered Hanxiang Palace, the people outside are all the Queen Mother, and you can't get out..."
As soon as Grandma Li finished speaking, the door was kicked open again.
I saw Zeng Yi throwing the Empress Dowager Shen who was hanging on his shoulders directly onto the bed.
No one knew that Queen Mother Shen was wrapped inside.
The next second, Grandma Li saw the masked man in black suddenly appearing and wanted to run away, but Zeng Yi's sword was already pressed against her neck.
Shangguan Ruizhu walked up to her leisurely, slapped Nanny Li on the face twice, and said coldly: "You resent me for not giving you a silver reward, so you dare to betray me. I will give you a reward." Is there still too little?”
She pointed at Li Shang and said angrily: "From the beginning to the end, you have been scheming me. Whose person are you? Whose money have you received to frame me?"
Grandma Li quickly begged for mercy: "The Queen Mother, please forgive me. These things were all done by the Queen Mother! She wanted to find a man for you, so she asked the slave to find Li Shang. It is none of my business!" "
She finally understood now why the Dowager Empress was so calm after coming in and even invited her to drink and dine. It turned out that the Dowager had known about it for a long time.
She complained that the dowager did not give her a silver reward, but she only told Narcissus.
Grandma Li reacted quickly, "Narcissus, did you gossip in front of the concubine? What did you say about me?"
"Godmother, I have given you my silver and the reward. The concubine already knows these things. I also have to plan for myself and prepare a dowry for myself. From now on, don't even think about asking me for my silver."
Already." Narcissus said.
"You are willing to honor me..."
Narcissus said again: "Now I don't want to be filial to you. I recognize you clearly. You are so kind to me just because you want to defraud me of my money."
"Goddess, even if you like money, how could you do such a thing to the concubine? Don't you know that the concubine is the regent? Aren't you doing this to prevent the concubine from surviving?"
Narcissus said again: "Li Shang is a shameless bastard. Did you ask him to come here because you want to destroy the honor of the queen? How much money did you and Li Shang earn in the palace behind the queen's back? How many palace maids did you sleep with?
You still want all my money to be given to you, but I won’t give it to you.”
Immediately afterwards, Narcissus didn't wait for Nanny Li to defend herself, but directly touched her body and took out a bag of silver and a gold hairpin.
"My dear, look, Grandma Li doesn't have this gold hairpin at all. Where did it come from?" She held up the silver again: "Such a big bag of silver is more than the reward you gave to the slaves."
Aunt Li stared at Narcissus, speechless, and said: "Narcissus, it's you."
At the same time, Shangguan Ruizhu snatched the sword from Zeng Yi's hand, stabbed it into Nanny Li's chest, and said coldly: "You dare to betray me, this is what will happen."
Only the Queen Mother has such exquisite jewelry. The Queen Mother is really willing to harm her!
In an instant, Nanny Li vomited blood and looked at Narcissus blankly, "Help...save..."
