Chapter 347: The two concubines plotted and had ulterior motives
kindness?
Ling Xu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Mother, are you ready to take action against the Sixth Brother?"
"idiot."
Concubine Li said softly: "If you just think about this in your heart, it will be fine. Who made you say it out loud like this?"
"If the walls had ears today."
"Your body will appear outside the Imperial City tomorrow."
"The Emperor has not taken any action in all these years. You don't really think that he is kind and benevolent?"
"I……"
Ling Xu's heart trembled: "Mother, I know I was wrong."
"Humph."
Concubine Li narrowed her eyes and said, "Did you forget my instructions to you today when you were in the hunting ground?"
"No matter what happens, don't expose it easily."
"You are so good. Not only did you force your move, you also showed your skills."
"You know that if you do this, even if Emperor Wu will look at you more, Ling Yu will still have a grudge against you."
"If Ling Yu attacks you regardless of everything, I won't be able to control you then."
"Although we have built up some foundation in the court over the years, we are still far behind Ling Yu."
Ling Xu curled his lips and said, "Mother, my second brother is actually a fool. Why should I be afraid of him? If it weren't for the Daqian rule of appointing the eldest son as the heir apparent, I wouldn't necessarily lose to him."
"Now."
"He already has doubts about me. If I continue to endure it, I will be the only one who suffers in the end."
Ling Xu saw the importance of this clearly, or rather, Ling Xu had only one thought in mind, which was...
Seize the direct descendant!
Concubine Li was shocked when she heard this: "Don't talk nonsense. You know that if Emperor Wu knows what you said, you will be sentenced to death."
"Now that Lao Liu is going to the coast."
"We can only do some work outside the palace."
Outside the palace?
Seeing Concubine Li's words, Ling Xu didn't say much, so he could only suppress his thoughts. Deep in his heart, he was filled with...
tension.
He knew very well that although Concubine Li had never made any outstanding achievements, she had been secretly developing her own power over the years. Otherwise, according to Concubine Li, a child of an official family with nothing.
How can one gain a foothold and maintain a firm foothold in the harem where people are eaten without leaving any bones?
This alone is enough to put many people off.
Not everyone has this talent.
Just as Ling Xu was thinking this, he saw the maid running over nervously: "My lady, this is not good."
"What happened?"
"Your Majesty, Concubine Xiao just sent someone to invite you to a gathering."
"Princess Xiao?" Concubine Li smiled faintly: "It seems that Concubine Xiao can't help it either, but we have the same enemy after all."
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
“If I can get Concubine Xiao’s help, I can be considered to be able to temporarily suppress Ling Tian, the Sixth Prince.”
"otherwise."
"If this guy continues to develop like this, one day it will develop to a point where we can no longer control it."
“This is definitely not a scene we want to see.”
While Concubine Li was pondering, Ling Xu said nervously: "Mother, Concubine Xiao has been bullying for so many years."
"Why should we keep cooperating with him?"
"Besides, Concubine Xiao has great ambitions."
"Nonsense."
Concubine Li said softly: "That's why we have to choose to cooperate with her, otherwise we will be doomed."
Ok?
Ling Xu was not very talkative: "Mother, what do we need to prepare?"
Concubine Li chuckled: "No need to prepare. I believe that Concubine Xiao has come to me and is already prepared. All I have to do is be prepared to deal with it."
"otherwise."
“It’s all just empty talk.”
While Concubine Li was whispering, she turned and left.
soon.
Concubine Li came to the palace and went straight to the imperial garden. From a distance, she saw Concubine Xiao sitting under the pavilion in the garden, playing with a wine glass in her hand.
When Concubine Li met Concubine Xiao's eyes, she did not feel any nervousness.
A smile appeared on his face: "Sister Xiao Fei, you called me here so anxiously today, what's the matter?"
"Ah."
Concubine Xiao didn't feel anything was wrong, she just whispered: "Okay, sister Li, don't worry too much, it's just that a lot of things have happened during this period of time."
"Sister thinks we need to have a good talk."
Concubine Xiao lowered her attitude. After all, strictly speaking, she came to Concubine Li today to ask for a favor. If Concubine Li refused, her situation would become even more difficult.
Concubine Li naturally knew what Concubine Xiao was thinking, and said softly, "Sister Concubine Xiao, why are you so polite?"
"Just tell me what you want to say."
Concubine Xiao filled Concubine Li's cup with tea and said, "Sister, please sit down and talk first."
Concubine Li was not polite and took the tea: "Sister Concubine Xiao, I see that you have become much more haggard during this period of time."
"Ah."
Concubine Xiao smiled bitterly: "Sister, do you feel that His Majesty has been different during this period of time?"
Concubine Li shook her head: "Sister, you are making fun of me. It has been a long time since I last saw His Majesty."
"I'm afraid your majesty has forgotten that I am still here in the harem."
Concubine Li's words were full of resentment, and Concubine Xiao comforted her: "Sister, you are too kind. I am the same."
"But at this moment, what else can we do?"
"After all, we are nothing more than poor people under the imperial power."
poor guy?
Concubine Li smiled in her heart: "Although you are a concubine now, everyone in the harem knows that you are the real master of the harem."
"You are only one chance away from the last position."
opportunity?
Concubine Xiao shook her head: "Unfortunately, I have been waiting for that opportunity for more than ten years and it has never appeared."
"In the final analysis, it's all because of that woman."
kindness?
Concubine Li was stunned: "Sister, you mean..."
"Shh!"
Concubine Xiao quickly shushed him, "Sister, be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall."
Concubine Li quickly shut up and looked around with Concubine Xiao, looking very nervous. Concubine Xiao then said softly, "Okay."
"Sister, now that we have come to this point, I will not hide it from you anymore."
"Don't you think His Majesty has been too kind to His Highness during this period?"
Concubine Li pretended to be suspicious: "Sister, isn't it because the Sixth Prince was assassinated outside that he was treated like this?"
Assassinated?
Concubine Xiao just found it funny: "My silly sister, haven't you figured out until now that the Sixth Prince's so-called assassination was actually a conspiracy."
"Or rather."
"This assassination was just a show he staged and acted out himself."
acting?
Although Concubine Li was calm and composed, she couldn't help herself after hearing this and stood up instantly: "Oh my God, what are you talking about?"
"Ah."
Concubine Xiao was very satisfied with Concubine Li's shock: "Sister, think about it carefully. In fact, from the beginning, we were led by the nose."
"Today, the Sixth Prince was assassinated again in the hunting ground."
"This caused His Majesty to become angry, and today he announced publicly that His Majesty the Sixth Prince should go to the coastal area to develop."
"Do you know what this means?"
Concubine Li asked, "Sister, I am stupid and really don't understand. I hope you can help me understand."
"Ah."
Concubine Xiao said, "Although the coastal areas are fishing villages and have not been civilized, you should know that in order to suppress Japan over the years, His Majesty has arranged many confidants in Suzhou and Hangzhou."
"If the Sixth Prince has found a confidant in Suzhou and Hangzhou."
"This also means that Your Highness has real power in the army, plus the prestige of the Chu family."
"Who can stop the Sixth Prince from rising?"
Suzhou and Hangzhou?
coastal?
military power!
At first, Concubine Li just wanted to unite with Concubine Xiao, but she didn't think so far ahead. Now that she heard this, she also realized the seriousness of the matter. Looking at the entire Daqian,
There is still no prince who can get real power. Even the crown prince is just a puppet. The soldiers in the crown prince's palace are all the confidants arranged by Emperor Wu.
Emperor Wu's actions today set a precedent for Daqian.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
Could it be that Emperor Wu really wanted to support the Sixth Prince? Concubine Li pondered for a moment and said, "Sister, I am grateful that you have the heart to invite me here today and to be so open with me."
"I think my sister is smart and has already thought of a solution."
"I don't know if my sister can speak frankly, but if my younger sister can do it, I will definitely help her without hesitation."
Concubine Li's face was full of determination, and Concubine Xiao was satisfied: "It seems that my sister also knows the importance of this."
"I didn't want to touch that guy."
"It's just a pity that this guy is so arrogant."
"I have no other choice."
"If we don't give him some resistance, I'm afraid we will all have a hard time in the future."
Concubine Li said, "Sister Xiao Fei, please speak."
Concubine Xiao narrowed her eyes and leaned forward: "Sister, I can't do anything because of my status."
"I've already been too obvious before, even sending Brother Guanzhong."
"It's a pity that it didn't work. Now I can only place my hope on you."
"Although the Third Prince sent Zhao Qingya to no avail, he did not anger the Emperor after all."
"today."
"If my sister is not afraid, I can show you a way."
"When he leaves Kyoto, why don't we arrange assassins to kill him along the way?"
Kill the prince?
Concubine Li was trembling in her heart: "Concubine Xiao is so bold that she dares to say it directly. Aren't you afraid that I will tell Emperor Wu?"
Concubine Xiao seemed to see through her thoughts: "Sister Concubine Li, why do you have to hesitate? I dare to come to you, so I am sure."
Concubine Li's eyelids twitched. She understood that Concubine Xiao was a murderer and should not be reckless. She quickly said, "Sister, this is a serious matter. I have to think about it."
"Ah."
Seeing her hesitation, Concubine Xiao narrowed her eyes and whispered, "Sister, you must not hesitate."
"After all, with the help of Ghost Face, the Sixth Prince is no longer the same as before."
Ghost face?
Concubine Li was surprised: "Sister, why don't we just kill Ghost Face and cut off his arm?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xiao smiled charmingly, "Sister, what if I tell you that the ghost face you've been thinking about is actually the Sixth Prince of Daqian?"
"And how should you deal with it?"
