Cannon Fodder Strategy

The deposed imperial concubine (21)

Lily nodded. When Su Ho said this, he was probably trying to prevent himself from asking her for news and she couldn't answer him, so he answered himself first that she didn't know.

"Su He, when you entered the palace, you were just a little maid with no foundation. You worshiped Su, a member of the Shangyi Bureau, as your adoptive mother. Step by step, you have now become the personal lady-in-charge of Empress Dowager Lu. It shows that you are also a maid. A capable and smart person." Lily's eyes fell on Su Ho, supporting her chin with one hand and playing with the belt of her pajamas with the other. Su Ho knelt in front of her, looking respectful and submissive.

"You were sold into the palace when you were seven years old because of your poor family. Because you were young, you were not close to your family. After you recognized Su as your adoptive mother, Su Si Ji changed your name to Su Ho for you. You have been in the palace for a long time. It's been thirteen years, right?" Lily had already sent people to inquire about Su Ho's news when she decided to win over him. Someone could figure it out. Su Ho nodded after hearing Lily's words: "Your Majesty is wise."

"I am not wise, otherwise Empress Dowager Lu would not have taken advantage of her that day." Lily sighed, "You are still in the palace, and your family members outside the palace are not close to you. You are an ambitious person who will be rewarded. , it is conceivable that she does not want to leave the palace to make a living on her own." Su Ho was already twenty and had pulled up her hair. It was obvious that she was not planning to get married. She grew up in the palace as a child, so she had no idea about the people outside the palace walls. The world doesn't understand that she was able to climb up to the Su Si Ji in such a helpless status that day, and received some advice from the Su Si Ji. Lily was not wrong, Su Ho was a person with ideas in his heart.

Many ordinary palace ladies are eager to leave the palace, but unlike others, she does not want to leave the palace and marry an ordinary person easily. Lu Lu lived a life of inaction, and at worst, she would be hired as a concubine by a wealthy family to teach them some etiquette.

Su Ho obviously does not have this ambition. She has more ideas and ambitions than the average palace maid. Lily is not afraid that she has ideas. Just because she didn't have any ideas, as soon as she finished speaking, she glanced at Su Ho:

"Follow Empress Dowager Lu, even though you are a female official. Everyone has to call you aunt when they see you, but in the end, you have no real power. Everything you have is given by Empress Dowager Lu." If Empress Dowager Lu dotes on her, , I'm afraid everyone in the palace will give her a thumbs-down, but if Empress Dowager Lu doesn't pamper her, the phoenix that lands on the ground may not be as good as a chicken. Su Ho's current situation is a good proof of this. Her power is not stable.

"My slave is stupid. Please give me some advice." What Lily said was not wrong. Su Ho himself never thought of hiding this, so as soon as Lily finished speaking, Su Ho spoke. , which is equivalent to having expressed his feelings to Lily. Even though she changed into eunuch clothes and secretly came here tonight, she already had the intention of seeking refuge with Lily, but she didn't say this until now. Only then can you truly lean on yourself.

Lily sighed: "Recently, I always dream about Mu Bei and call him cold." As she spoke, she pressed her fingers under her eyelashes and wiped away her tears. Where is Su Ho? I don’t understand that Lily wants her to say something to prove her authenticity. She had already made up her mind when she wrote the words in Lily's palm that day. She took the risk to come here tonight, so she naturally showed her sincerity at this time.

"Your Majesty, I know a little bit about the First Prince," she said. Empress Dowager Lu ordered herself to lure the Zhen family that day. And finally made Zhen relax her guard against Empress Dowager Lu, and lead Liang Mubei to Fengming Hall, but finally made Liang Mubei die in the Imperial Garden come out.

"The Queen Mother is very guarded against others. She sent this servant away that day. I have no idea how the eldest prince was killed. But the incident of the eldest prince is inseparable from the Queen Mother." What she said was probably similar to Zhen's, Lu said. The Queen Mother plotted against Zhen and used Zhen's daughter to seduce her. Lily had heard about this from Zhen that day. Now when she heard Su Ho tell it, in addition to the details, it proved that Su Ho was indeed not lying.

Since she showed her sincerity, Lily nodded and put her hand back on her waist: "Very good, Mu Bei can't die in vain. If he avenges this in the future, among the six rounds in the palace, I will allow him to die." You are the leader of this game." As soon as he said these words, excitement suddenly appeared on Su Ho's face.

The six bureaus are divided into six bureaus: Shang Gong, Shang Yi, Shang Fu, Shang Shi, Shang Bed and Shang Gong, which cover all matters in the palace. Although the status of female officials in the palace is generally low, even the leader of the six bureaus is just A fifth-grade female official has great power. Su Ho rose from the most ordinary and lowly palace maid to the present, and is well aware of the status of the Lord of the Six Bureaus in the palace.

On the surface, it seems that the leader of the Sixth Bureau is not as good as the queen mother who favors the palace maids, but in fact, as Lily said, his status is not stable now. When the queen mother Lu pampered him, he was quite proud, but once the queen mother Lu has A Ji by his side, He is just a yellow flower in the past, and his status is not as secure as the leader of the Six Bureaus.

What Lily said immediately hit the soft spot in Su Ho's heart. She was not planning to leave the palace in this life. If she could become one of the leaders of the Six Bureaus, it would be millions of times better than staying with Queen Mother Lu. .

It's just that the cake is too big. Although Su Ho is tempted, Empress Dowager Lu has been accumulating power for a long time, not to mention that the Lu family is not someone to be trifled with.

Furthermore, although she is only a widow, she is a widow left behind by the late emperor. Her status is extraordinary. As long as she does not make a big mistake, even the emperor may not be able to do anything to her.

She is young, not an old woman in her forties or fifties. Although the imperial concubine has been in the palace longer than the Queen Mother, her status as Queen Mother alone is enough to suppress Lily and prevent her from turning over. Although she had harmed Liang Mubei, even if Lily knew about it and had no evidence, she could not bring down the Queen Mother Lu. Although Lily wanted to avenge the eldest prince, how easy was it?

Thinking of this, Su Ho's originally fiery heart gradually calmed down.

"It's just that the Queen Mother has a special status. Even if the Queen Mother knows about the First Prince, how can she avenge the First Prince's blood?"

The position of leader of the Sixth Bureau was too tempting. As soon as Su Ho said what was on his mind, Lily laughed:

"In the past, I might have been a little hesitant, but now I am really 80% sure." After she said this, Su Ho looked up at her in surprise. Their eyes met, and Lily narrowed her eyes. : "Do you know why I played such a bitter trick with you the day before yesterday?"

Su Ho shook his head. Poetry and Painting, who were watching quietly by the side, couldn't help but listen attentively when they heard Lily's words. Lily curled her lips:

"Queen Mother Lu is pregnant."

"What?" Huayi almost screamed out in surprise, Shiqing was so horrified that his whole body was trembling with coldness, and he reached out to cover Lily's mouth: "My dear mistress, how dare you say such a thing?"

The late Emperor died less than two years ago. Even if Empress Dowager Lu was lucky enough to meet her before his death, it has been more than a year now. Even if Empress Dowager Lu was really pregnant with her posthumous child, there was absolutely no way that the news of her pregnancy would be revealed just now, let alone A few months before the death of the late Emperor, he was already ill and had not been with women in the harem for a long time. Empress Dowager Lu had not even tasted sex for a few times, so how could she be pregnant? Even if you are lucky, you still can't match the time.

But now Lily said that Empress Dowager Lu was pregnant. Doesn't this mean that Empress Dowager Lu had cuckolded the late Emperor?

If such treacherous words spread, I'm afraid that Lily is from a noble family, and the Zhou family may not be able to protect her, and her life may be at stake.

Although Bai He wanted to subdue Su Ho, Su Ho was the person close to Queen Mother Lu after all. If this word spread, the emperor might not spare Lily's life. Shi Qing was usually steady, but now he was so anxious that he was red. She had circles under her eyes, and regardless of the rules and etiquette, she stretched out her hand to cover Lily's mouth, but in the end it was still a step too late for Su Ho to hear clearly.

"What?"

Such news not only shocked Shi Qing and Hua Yi, Su Ho was also so frightened that his cheeks turned white and his whole body trembled. "My dear, I don't dare to make such a joke. If it spreads..."

If word spreads, I'm afraid everyone from Fengming Palace will have to get involved. Su Ho's expression didn't look like he was pretending. It was obvious that because the pregnancy was of such high importance, Empress Dowager Lu had hidden it from Su Ho, a former confidant of the palace.

"If I am not sure, how can I dare to say it casually?" Lily snorted and moved Shiqing's hand away. Seeing her stamping her feet in anxiety, he turned his eyes to comfort her and signaled her to calm down before continuing. Said: "If I was only 30% sure before, after the day before yesterday, it will be 70%." She said so confidently, the noble concubine said such a shocking and fatal thing, if she is not even sure, I'm afraid Lily will be No matter how courageous she was, she probably wouldn't dare to joke casually. Seeing her calm demeanor, Su Ho felt that this was impossible and couldn't believe it, but she still had some doubts in her heart.

"But, but the palace is full of women, even if there are eunuchs..." They are just rootless people. Even if the Queen Mother wants to steal people, how can she steal them?

Before Su Ho finished speaking, both Shi Qing and Hua Yi nodded. Lily stared at her with a half-smile but not a smile. Su Ho's expression was confused at first, then stiff, and then began to turn pale, with beads of sweat on his forehead. Water dripped down like a waterfall, his body trembled, and his teeth began to chatter.

Seeing her posture, Shi Qing seemed to have come back to her senses, and her body began to tremble.

Only the meaning of the painting has not been figured out yet, his eyes moved back and forth between Shi Qing and Su Ho, and finally looked at Lily.

"Empress..."

"Although the Queen Mother is senior, she is only seventeen years old, and she is so charming and beautiful. How come there are no men in the palace?" As soon as Lily finished speaking, Shiqing shook her head and said in shock: "No, Impossible..." How could such an ugly thing happen? (To be continued ~^~)
