Chapter 239: A Quiet Counterattack
The news was quickly passed to Si Moli, and his eyes deepened. He did not expect that the imperial concubine could not sit still so quickly, and actually had murderous intentions towards him, and even wanted to attack him immediately.
It seems that she has been unable to sit on the throne of the queen. She is impatient after all, but she doesn't know what method she will use to plot against him.
After thinking carefully, he called the secret guards below: "Send an extra group of people to the Duke's Mansion to protect Shen Qingyun's safety."
The leader of the secret guard frowned slightly, with a worried look in his eyes: "Your Majesty, now the noble concubine and the sixth prince have completely targeted you. If you send more people, I will be worried..."
Si Moli glanced at him. Although he did not deliberately threaten him, the secret guard leader still lowered his head uneasily.
He shouldn't question the prince's decision, but he would be confused if he cared about it, so he spoke rashly.
Si Moli was not angry at all. He whispered: "Why, do you think the remaining people under your command can't protect me?"
The leader of the secret guard had a stern look on his face, raised his head, and said with seriousness on his brows: "The people who lead this humble position are all elite soldiers. They will definitely put the safety of the prince first, and will do their best to protect the prince at any time. !”
"Okay, with your words, I feel relieved. In that case, go down and make arrangements." After saying that, he turned his attention to the nearest military affairs.
The leader of the secret guard did not object again, but redeployed his manpower.
Unexpectedly, a few days later at night, the people below caught a sneaky man. He was wearing night clothes. He was captured as soon as he approached the Duke's Mansion and was taken directly to the Prince's Mansion.
When faced with inquiries, he would naturally rather die than speak.
Si Moli looked at him coldly, understanding that the people who came to test at the beginning would only be small characters, and they couldn't ask anything, so he ordered: "Send it to the Duke's Mansion, and bring a message: They are here to secretly Yes, we will find out."
When Shen Qingyun heard this, he quickly understood what Si Moli meant.
So the next day, the people from the Duke's Mansion escorted the thief directly to Jingzhao Mansion with great fanfare. They bluntly said that he had been arrested last night and asked the Jingzhao Mansion to interrogate him carefully.
I saw a lot of people along the way, and everyone talked about how brave the thief was, and how dared to sneak into the Duke's palace in Kyoto.
This kind of thing is really unreasonable, and many people began to murmur privately: "It seems that the people from the Duke's Mansion have gotten into some trouble."
Suddenly, the Duke's Mansion became the subject of discussion, which really made the Sixth Prince and others afraid to make the next move easily.
At the same time, Shen Qingyun openly increased the security of the Duke's Mansion, saying bluntly that the mansion was full of old, weak, women and children. Now that there was a thief, it was best to be cautious.
The imperial concubine wanted to summon Shen Qingyun to the palace, but Shen Qingyun said: "The Duke's mansion was robbed, and my grandmother was already unconscious, and now she is even more frightened. Naturally, Qingyun needs to serve her at the bedside, so she can only politely refuse." It’s a good idea.”
Her words were so pure and filial that the imperial concubine could not say anything more and had to praise her for being virtuous and filial.
Seeing that there was no way to go here, the imperial concubine and the sixth prince set their sights on the upcoming autumn.
"Prince Li is deeply favored by the emperor and is well-known outside. For him, ordinary frame-ups are just a small fight and will not hurt his bones at all. In this case, we need to kill him with one blow and completely cut off his influence. The way out." The imperial concubine analyzed, her eyes showing fiercely.
The sixth prince, Si Mingxuan, asked anxiously: "Mother, Concubine, Prince Li is only in charge of military affairs recently. Our people can't intervene immediately, so how can we disturb his foundation?"
He wished he could send someone to assassinate Si Moli directly, but Si Moli himself was very skilled in martial arts and had many guards. If he missed, they would rush to give him a clue, which would also arouse his father's dissatisfaction, and the gain would not be worth the loss.
The imperial concubine glanced at Si Mingxuan reassuringly: "Although I have preliminary ideas, I still need to discuss this matter with your grandfather to arrange manpower. There is a letter here. Your Majesty, please go there personally and tell me If you bring it to me, your grandfather will tell you what to do."
With that said, the imperial concubine took out the secret letter, obviously prepared for it.
The sixth prince put the letter away and asked: "What should Shen Qingyun do? Just let her go?"
"Shen Qingyun?" The imperial concubine smiled coldly: "She is just a little girl from a declining family. Except for her beautiful face, which has some use value, I don't take her seriously. Now let her go for the time being, and wait until Li Li If the king falls, he is no longer the emperor. You can do whatever you want."
When the Sixth Prince thought about this day, his eyes shone with excitement.
Shen Qingyun was beautiful, but he had seen a lot of beauties, but when he thought that this was the woman favored by Prince Li, he wanted to get her hands on her too.
So, he hurriedly sent the letter out.
In the following days, Kyoto seemed to have returned to calm, and most people focused their attention on the upcoming autumn.
Only the imperial concubine is currently troubled by other things.
The emperor accidentally met a talented person in the imperial garden. His eyes were attracted to her, and he favored her that night.
For half a month, she was allowed to sleep with her every night. Not long after, she was directly promoted to Jieyu and given the title Li. For a time, Li Jieyu was deeply favored by the emperor, and she was the most popular in the harem.
This scene naturally made the concubines in the harem jealous, and they complained: "My dear concubine, I heard that the emperor actually gave Li Jieyu the tribute of Shu brocade. This Li Jieyu is really ignorant and doesn't know how to use it." Honor the empress, she is like this, she is really wasting such a delicate brocade."
"Don't lie. It is the emperor's freedom to give anything to whomever he wants. My sister has a delicate appearance. It is normal for her to be favored now."
The imperial concubine spoke calmly, completely ignoring the instigation of the other concubines.
However, in her heart, she was already so angry that she wanted to break off her newly made nails. Originally, she had revealed that the colors and patterns of the Sichuan brocade presented as tribute in this issue were all good, which matched her eyes. She never thought that because of the small quantity, the emperor would Not a single horse was left for her.
What she said is that she has many people in the palace, so she must know how to be humble.
The imperial concubine pretended to be virtuous in front of the emperor, but she was filled with hatred in her heart. The little Jieyu actually outshone her, the imperial concubine.
Not long after, some rumors began to spread in the palace.
The emperor said that if Li Jieyu could give birth to a dragon son, whether she was a prince or a princess, he would leapfrog her hierarchy and make her Zhaoyi.
After hearing this news, the imperial concubine was not calm at all. However, after several fights, she did not get a good deal! Even if Li Jieyu really did something wrong, the emperor would forgive her after crying tenderly, and return the favor. It's strange that the imperial concubine is making a fuss out of a molehill and has no style.
Even the sixth prince was scolded for the imperial concubine's affairs.
