Chapter 179: Drag Lao Jiu into this muddy water
"In the current situation, it doesn't matter to us whether we offend the emperor or not. The emperor wants me to stay, so naturally I have value.
I know that there is no so-called sisterhood in the harem.
I am different from the women around the emperor, and I do not compete with them for the emperor. If this matter fails, that will be it. If it succeeds, the late emperor's concubines will be somewhat grateful to me.
I don’t want to be alone in this harem, not a friend, or at least not an enemy. I want to stay in the palace for a while, and I also want them to recognize me as the Queen Mother."
Kindness is not given casually, she demands something in return.[
"Since the master has his own ideas, the slave will not say much."
Qingfu said softly and said no more.
Qiqi returned to the house, rested some more, changed into plain white clothes, and prepared to go to Huangfu Tianduo's Wolong Palace.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Concubine Rong led Huangfu Yuantai and Qiqi to meet at Xihua Gate, and told them to persuade the emperor to exempt all the concubines from being buried.
Huangfu Yuantai's face remained tense as he followed Qiqi, his eyes almost burning through her back vest.
Does this woman have to drag him into the water?
"What's wrong? Lao Jiu seems unhappy, looking at the Ai family like this. The Ai family doesn't owe Lao Jiu any money!"
Qiqi turned around and looked at Huangfu Yuantai who was as pale as a pot with a smile on his face.
"Don't you think you are being unreasonable? This is a rule set by the Queen Mother that concubines should be buried in sacrifice. Now that the Queen Mother wants to overthrow it, do you think Brother Huang will agree?"
Huangfu Yuantai snorted angrily.
"Lao Jiu should tell your mother and concubine this. The Ai family also talked to Concubine Rong for a long time, but she still begged, and the Ai family had no choice. If Lao Jiu doesn't want to go, then let's go back now.
Tell your mother and concubine clearly."
As Qi Qi said this, she turned around and headed back home.
"Don't, don't, don't go back. They've already come, so you can give it a try."
Huangfu Yuantai looked panicked and stopped Qiqi.
"Well, you will take the lead later and go in to talk to the emperor about this matter. The Ai family will follow."
