Cannon Fodder Strategy

"What a coincidence, that eunuch made a mistake and was beaten to death?" Lily sneered twice, and then said: "Your veil was thrown in the imperial garden, and it happened to be the day of Mu Bei's visit. Something happened in the Imperial Garden. I'm afraid my sister hasn't thought about whether her veil was really destroyed, or whether it was fake and was really thrown into the Imperial Garden?" said Concubine Xian. Someone betrayed her and caused such a big mess, "If I hadn't known you for two years and knew that you had no children, I wouldn't be so eager. Do you really think that I would spare you? People around you have said What's wrong, even an outsider like me has seen it, but you are still kept in the dark. You still want to complain to the Queen Mother. Who can you complain to?" Lily's voice was neither fast nor slow, and her tone was gentle and graceful. Listen to It sounded extremely pleasant, but Concubine Xian was dripping with cold sweat at this moment.

"You are not a newcomer who has only been in the palace for a day or two. I designed for you to single out that shameless slave who betrayed his master. Shouldn't you thank me? Someone can harm Mu Bei today and put the blame on you. , I'm afraid it will kill you one day!" An Xue Neng betrayed his master and ignored the master-servant relationship for many years, and later became the wife of Emperor Yongming. They were jealous of each other. If they wanted to rectify the virtuous Concubine, it is not impossible.

Concubine Xian only felt that she had been slapped in the face before, but did not think about it that deeply. Now she heard Lily remind her, and after thinking about it carefully, it turned out to be the case, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.

"What does it matter if you think your face has been damaged now? To tell you the truth, if I hadn't wanted to avenge Mu Bei, I wouldn't have bothered to care about this mess!" Lily snorted, and Huayi and Shiqing started talking. One stood behind her to rub her shoulders, and the other used a beauty hammer to tap her legs.

Concubine Xian looked ugly. Her eyes were a little dull, and An Ru stood beside her, trembling all over, looking in disbelief.

"Then the handkerchief I picked up that day is still in my hands. Sister Xian Concubine, would you like to take a look?" Seeing Concubine Xian's appearance, Lily asked. She seemed to have been greatly stimulated and shook her head. .

By now. If Concubine Xian didn't know that she was being plotted, she would have really wasted her life. Since the other party wanted to harm her, the veil must have been made exactly the same as hers. Whether it was real or fake, she fell into their trap, but she didn’t know who was behind it. She harmed Liang. That's all Mu Bei did, but he still wanted to poach his personal maid. Concubine Xian couldn't swallow the anger of roping in that bitch An Xue to frame her, so she must take revenge.

And Lily had noticed exactly this point about her, and when she deliberately made it clear to her today, Concubine Xian knew something about it.

"In my sister's opinion, who is the person behind that?" Concubine Xian was so angry that she leaned forward. Moving closer to Lily, Lily saw his own shadow reflected in her eyes and smiled, "Why are you anxious? You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Since the person behind it has plotted against Miyamoto and his sister, one day they will meet again." If you can't calm down and take action again, one day you will see clearly." After saying that, Lily paused and looked at the anxious concubine with a half-smile: "What's more, if I tell you, you will Do you believe it?" Everyone around Concubine Xian can betray her. She must have been greatly shocked. This was the time to be on guard against people and things, and she might not believe it even if Lily said it, so it would be better to let her see for herself.

If Queen Mother Lu can take action once, she will take action a second time. When Concubine Xian figures it out on her own, she may be more convinced than if she says it herself.

Concubine Xian's face showed a look of excitement. He leaned back again and said softly: "I naturally believe in my sister."

After saying this, Lily smiled without saying a word. Concubine Xian picked up the tea cup and touched her lips to hide her thoughts. She put the cup down before saying goodbye.

The two were originally sworn enemies, so naturally they didn't have much to talk about. Lily called her here just to talk about joining forces. Now that the matter was over, Concubine Xian knew what was going on, so she didn't want Concubine Xian to stay. He ordered Huayi to send Concubine Xian and her party. As soon as Concubine Xian went out, Lily immediately asked Shiqing: "Is there anyone from the Xianfu Palace in the Queen Mother's Palace?" She remembered that when they were in Fengming Palace, Emperor Yongming and Queen Mother Lu The tone of her voice when she spoke, the more she thought about it, the weirder she felt. After all, this matter was of great importance, and she wanted to check it out.

Each palace has some nails planted in each other, and the owners of each palace probably know it well.

Shi Qing also knew about this, but when Lily asked this question, Shi Qing showed a look of embarrassment on her face:

"Yes, there is. It's just a little news. If the queen wants to do something, I'm afraid she can't."

Empress Dowager Lu has not been in the palace for a long time. It has been less than a year since she married the late emperor and entered the palace. Zhou Baihe has been married to Liang He for more than three years. Naturally, her foundation is much deeper than that of Empress Dowager Lu. When Empress Dowager Lu entered the palace, , Zhou Baihe also intervened when assigning personnel to Xianfu Palace. But although Empress Dowager Lu was not a big person, her mind was not small.

She did not replace any of the nails that were originally inserted into Fengming Palace. Instead of alerting the enemy, she raised them all and allowed these people to stay in Fengming Palace. However, she did not delegate important tasks to them. Many nails could not even be inserted. In the inner hall of Fengming Hall, he looks like a useless person.

Lily also knew this from Zhou Lily's memory, and she just wanted to make sure when she asked Shiqing. After hearing Shiqing's words, she sighed: "Then let's talk slowly."

"Your Majesty, I want..." The character of Shiqing is more calm than that of painting. Although she usually doesn't talk much, she is not stupid. Although Lily only asked one sentence at this time, she suddenly understood the meaning of Lily's question. She probably wanted to do something. As soon as she asked this question, Lily thought for a while. If she wanted to investigate this matter, she might need poetry to help her one day, so she stood up and raised her hand. Shiqing stretched out his hand to support her, and Lily put it on her wrist. As she entered the inner hall, the palace maids and waitresses stood far away around her. She was smiling and whispered in Shiqing's ear:

"I suspect that there is something wrong between the Emperor and the Queen Mother Lu." As soon as she finished speaking, Shiqing's body shook heavily. Lily put her hand on her body and could clearly feel that her body began to tremble slightly. , the face began to turn pale, and the voice was a little dry: "What the empress said..."

"Look at your little potential." Lily curled her lips, her eyes full of coldness: "What are you afraid of? She harmed my own Mu Bei. Sooner or later, I will have to settle the score with her, and she attacked Mu Bei. , I will definitely not give up. Instead of waiting for her to take action, it would be great if I could get her handle." After saying that, Lily pressed the corner of her lips with a handkerchief. After hearing this, Shiqing agreed in a low voice. The sentence is. not talking anymore.

Winter came very early this year, and the winter snow piled up everywhere. When greeting Empress Dowager Lu on weekdays, the women in the harem seemed to dim in front of this winter scene. Unexpectedly, An Xue, the beauty of Yun, became the emperor's new favorite. After Liu Concubine, she was now the most favored woman in the Northern Qi harem.

Emperor Yongming stayed in the harem for about twenty days a month, except for the three concubines who stayed there for two days a month. In this way, they stayed for six days. In the remaining time, some talented people and beauties also had to stay with them. Liu Bin was the most favored, occupying four or five days a month, but the beauties were not less generous in comparison. She had just been named a beauty, but she stayed in bed for three days. This number does not sound like much, but it is more than the average number of days for the three concubines. Therefore, during the recent days of greetings, Concubine Xian and Concubine De did not look very good-looking, but Lily was relatively calm. His behavior should have been abnormal, but in the eyes of Empress Dowager Lu and others, it seemed like the reason why Lily had not fully recovered from the pain of losing her son.

Because Yun Meiren'er was favored, Emperor Yongming promoted her to a noblewoman in December because of her higher rank. The Yungui people also had the qualification to pay tribute to the Queen Mother.

Recently, barbarians on the border invaded the Northern Qi territory. To seize women and grain, the emperor sent his concubine Gao's father and brother to go out in armor and robes, so for half a month, Emperor Yongming didn't stop entering the harem. After entering, Concubine De and Yungui took turns attending to her, so they paid their respects for several days. Concubine De had a smile on her face.

After winter, the Royal Garden in the palace had already frozen, but Empress Dowager Lu's Fengming Hall had transplanted plum trees, which were white and rosy, which was really beautiful. When Lily came to Fengming Hall, both Yungui and Xianfei came. The former master and servant sat awkwardly in their positions. Xianfei's eyes seemed to be cannibalistic, and Yungui looked delicate and timid. appearance.

After taking off her palace clothes, An Xue looked pretty good. She wore a concentric bun and a silk hairpin. She lowered her head, revealing her round chin. The pink satin clothes made her skin look like snow. Because he has received so much favor recently, the Yungui people have a blush on their cheeks even if they don't put on rouge, making them very lovable. In comparison, the originally beautiful Concubine Xian looked a little angry. She looked much prettier than An Xueyue, but because of jealousy, she was now inferior. When she saw Lily coming in, Concubine Xian's eyes First it lit up:

"Sister came early today."

As soon as she spoke, An Xue hurriedly stood up and said hello to Lily.

"My sister arrived early in the morning, but she said that I came early, but are you making fun of me?" Baihe allowed the palace servants from Fengming Palace to come forward and take the cloak for her, but at the same time, she spared Yun Gui's gift and hadn't found a seat yet. After sitting down, Concubine Liu also came. She first greeted Lily and Concubine Xian, and just when she got up, Concubine De also arrived.

Concubine De was in the grandest of pomps when she came. She came on a chariot, which was a little out of line. But recently, because the Gao family went on an expedition, the emperor favored her a little. Even if the people in the palace hated her for her behavior, I had to grit my teeth and just pretend I didn't see it.

"On such a cold day, the imperial concubine arrived early." Concubine De and other palace attendants took off her cloak and took hot tea to cover her hands before she smiled: "Looking at the imperial concubine's complexion, she must have slept well recently. According to Concubine Yi, this is how it should be, people, you have to think clearly." She was hinting that Lily had lost the eldest prince Liang Mubei, and also lost the emperor's favor, and stayed alone in the empty room at night.

"I have been serving the emperor recently. I always get up late. It seems that my complexion has deteriorated. I wonder if your concubine has any prescriptions that I can copy to make up for my pain?"

She laughed sweetly, and the expressions of Concubine Xian and Concubine Liu changed.

Lily wanted to laugh when she heard this. The people in this palace were dying of drought and dying of waterlogging. Concubine De and Yungui looked overly pampered, and Concubine Xian and Concubine Liu looked more and more speechless. . Concubine Liu was okay, it had only been a few days since she fell out of favor, but Concubine Xian was different. After the emperor favored An Xue that day, he never went to her Jianjia Palace again. By now, Concubine De was already angry. To show off these things, Concubine Xian and her have always been at odds with each other, and now he wants to scratch her face.

Concubine De was just showing off to Concubine Xian, but she still wanted to stir up trouble and turned the topic to herself. Lily took a leisurely sip of tea to warm her heart, then put the cup down before smiling:

"If Sister De Concubine feels that serving the Emperor is too tiring, how about I intercede on your behalf and ask the Emperor to be considerate of my sister's health, so that my sister does not miss the opportunity to show her filial piety to the Queen Mother?" As soon as she said these words, Concubine Xian almost laughed. When she spoke out, the proud look on Concubine De's face froze: "It is my duty to serve the emperor, so why should I be tired? It's too late for me to be honored, so how can I be tired? Such an opportunity, Others can't ask for anything, please tell me, noble concubine, is this true?"

"It's right for Concubine De to have such an idea. But in addition to serving the emperor, Concubine De should also help the emperor as soon as possible." Lily nodded and said something serious. Concubine De's expression changed. It looked a little ugly all of a sudden.

She didn't want to have a child, but when she was carried into the Prince's East Palace, she was always hurt by Zhou Baihe's plot. Concubine De came from a family of generals, and the Gao family was not rich in background. There was no way to compare with the Zhou family in raising children. Although the concubine took every precaution, she still fell victim to the attack without realizing it. By the time she realized that she had ruined her body, it was already two years later. During the past two years, she had been undergoing treatment, but the effect was not that good. good.

This can be regarded as a wound in Concubine De's heart. Unexpectedly, when she mentioned that Lily had died of her son, Lily would blame her for not having a son. Concubine De's face changed drastically, and she looked at Lily as if she wanted to eat someone. , but Lily looked at her with a smile. After a while, Concubine De's eyes turned cold, and Empress Dowager Lu, who had been watching the show for a long time, came out.

"This Fengming Hall is usually deserted. It's only lively when you come." Empress Dowager Lu came out and said something meaningful. Lily smiled and said nothing. After speaking, Empress Dowager Lu obviously didn't ask anyone to pick her up. Mouth means:

"The Chinese New Year will be here in a few days. There have been so many things happening in the palace this year, and it's strangely deserted. The Ai family is planning to discuss with the emperor to invite a troupe to sing in the palace, which will make it lively and lively."

As soon as Empress Dowager Lu finished speaking, Concubine De said: "That's a good thing, Empress Dowager. I heard from my brother that there is a place in the capital called Qingjiaban'er, where they raised a young lady, and her appearance and figure are not bad, so why not Please come into the palace and sing.” (To be continued~^~)
