Chapter 283

"Bastard! Is it something you can discuss in the palace?" Concubine Xiao was slightly angry. On the surface, she was scolding her younger brother, but she was telling Xuanyue by hinting that there were struggles and battlefields in the palace, and I just wanted to protect my own one-third of an acre of land. There is nothing I can do about the Crown Prince and the First Prince.

"Sister, why are you so confused? The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess came to see you in person. Can't you see their sincerity?"

"shut up!"

Concubine Xiao sternly stopped her brother and continued to speak.

Xuanyue smiled slightly and said, "Concubine Xiao, what Zhengnan said is right. In fact, we came to see you today because we wanted you to help."

Concubine Xiao said, "What can you help me with?"

Xuanyue said: "The niangniang should know about the ministers' request to abolish the prince, right?"

Concubine Xiao said, "I'm just a woman, and I never ask about government affairs."

Xuanyue said: "Niangniang is a smart person, I'll just say it straight. The emperor wants to keep the crown prince's throne, but he is the emperor of the ninety-five, and many things are beyond his control. Prime Minister Liu, minister of the Manchu Dynasty, The empress dowager, imperial concubine, and even the people of the world demanded the abolition of the prince."

Concubine Xiao said, "So you say that the abolition of the prince is what everyone wants and what people want?"

Xuanyue smiled and said: "Prime Minister Liu is obviously selfish. Most of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty listened to his instigation. The Empress Dowager prefers the eldest prince, Empress Yufei is from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and most of the concubines in the harem obey the Empress Dowager. And Empress Yufei... This is an intricate network of interests and relationships. There is nothing popular with people, there are only conspiracies and filth driven by interests. As for the people in the world, all they need is a good king to make them live in peace. A rich life. They just gossip about the power struggles of the royal family, what can they understand? It’s not because the Prime Minister’s Mansion spreads rumors, so what do they believe?”

Concubine Xiao was silent and listened very quietly.

Xuanyue continued: "In this harem, the only person who has enough weight in the emperor's heart and in the harem, but who has no entanglement with the first prince's prime minister's residence, is you, the maiden. Only the maiden can keep the star. The position of the dark prince."

Concubine Xiao said: "What virtue and what ability do I have, with such a great ability to turn the tide?"

Xuanyue said: "As long as the empress is willing, you can. In this harem, as long as the empress raises her arm and the emperor secretly supports it, it will be able to respond to everyone! It is not difficult to reverse the situation of the abolished prince in the harem. It's just to see if the lady is willing to help."

Concubine Xiao said: "Prince Concubine, I am very happy that you can come to see this concubine. In this palace, few of me can speak my own words. On weekdays, only a maid, Xiaoqing, can speak. A few sincere words. This Concubine feels that she is very close to the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess can come to Hongmei Pavilion more when there is time in the future. However, if it involves political affairs, this Concubine is really powerless. "

As soon as she said these words, Xiao Zhengnan's face was filled with anger and contempt. This elder sister, in order to keep her status, is really too inhumane. She watched her younger brother being driven to death and was reluctant to intervene.

There was also a hint of disappointment in Xuanyue's eyes: "My lady has really decided?"

Concubine Xiao nodded and said, "Some things can't be forced."

"If that's the case, then it's disturbing. We should also say goodbye." Xuan Yue offered to leave.

"It's okay not to have such a sister."

Xiao Zhengnan didn't even think she was Concubine Xiao's wife, and walked away angrily.

Xuan Yue also got up and said goodbye.

Xing An didn't get up, but said lightly, "Ye, go see your father first."

Xuanyue asked, "How about you?"

"I still have something to talk to Concubine Xiao."

"Then let's go first." Xuan Yue didn't know why Xing An stayed, but he didn't say a word just now. What's the point of staying at this moment? Concubine Xiao has made it clear that she will not help. However, she didn't ask, she believed that Xing An must have a reason for doing so.

"There are only the two of us left now. Does His Royal Highness know what else is going on?"

Concubine Xiao was a little afraid to get along with Xing An alone. Today was the first time she saw a handsome and gloomy face without a mask, which was completely inappropriate for his age. She remembered the things she had heard about the prince in the past, and vaguely felt that he was a little pitiful. Others will only see Xing An's strength and ruthlessness, but Concubine Xiao, who has been suffering and lonely in the deep palace, naturally understands how many unknown bitterness and loneliness are buried behind the glory and wealth.

Xing An said coldly, "Concubine Xiao, you were already a noble concubine three years ago, right?"

There are many levels of concubines, queens, noble concubines, ordinary concubines, concubines, talented people, beauties, etc. The hierarchy in the palace is very strict, and each level of promotion is equivalent to a leap in power and status. And the imperial concubine is already second only to the queen's existence.

"Yes. This is the emperor's favor, so I never dare to forget my duty." Concubine Xiao did not know why Xing An mentioned this.

"Do you care about Xiao Zhengnan's younger brother?" Xing An asked again. But it has nothing to do with the previous sentence.

"Of course I care." Concubine Xiao answered with certainty. Although she chose Mingzhe to protect herself, that doesn't mean she doesn't care about her younger brother.

"The only reason Xiao Zhengnan can stay in the Prince's Mansion is because he has your sister. He is very lucky, his sister is a celebrity beside the emperor, and also has a very detached position in the harem. But your sister, if you don't I am willing to take care of his life and death. Then he will have no use value. The Prince's Mansion has never taken in people who have no use value!"

"You... are you threatening me?" Concubine Xiao was a little sullen. She is also the emperor's concubine, even if she is a prince, her status is higher than her. But her generation is here, and the prince must also be polite to her.

"Do you want to be the queen?" Xing An suddenly asked again.

"What do you... mean? Your Highness the dignified crown prince, are you trying to lure this concubine? You should know that since your mother passed away, the emperor has never allowed anyone to propose a new queen." Concubine Xiao Why not want to? It's just that Long Yan swore that he would never stand up again. So when she became a noble concubine, she didn't want to intrigue and fight with others anymore.

"Concubine Xiao is a smart person, she should know what to do, right?"

Xing An smiled coldly, and then walked away!

His words were just a few simple sentences, not even a single complicated word. But every word, every word is like a sharp sword, deeply stabbed in the softest part of Concubine Xiao's heart! A burst of blood!

"He's... terrifying!"

What is the effect?鑳 borrow?鍗 Cui 鲠頉 Yu disease chain 夊多姝 ゅ 埢 姓? 镙feng 劅 nao 夊韌 worm? 囪紒

Although Xing An is blind, his empty eyes seem to be able to see through the deepest part of everyone's heart! Let you be invisible!

"Xiaoqing." Concubine Xiao sucked in a breath of cold air.

"Niangniang, the servant is here." Xiaoqing, a confidant, came in from outside.

"Where's the priceless blue-and-white jade pendant that the eldest prince gave to this concubine last month?"
