After the dinner, the emperor was also a little drunk, and his eyes were a little wandering. From the looks of it, the emperor was probably drunk.
Jin Xin said to Huang Wanshun, "I've had a lot of fun tonight. Let's send the emperor back."
Huang Wanshun responded, and several palace attendants stepped forward to help the emperor up. The emperor stood up and looked at Jin Xin, "Jin Xin, please go back with me."
Jin Xin had no choice but to stand up, step forward and help him go together.
Concubine Xuan looked even more anxious.
Why did the emperor fall ill once? It was like he was possessed by a poison and relied on Jiang Jinxin for everything.
But of course she didn't know what was going on, so she could only watch the emperor and the others go away.
Fang Guiren sat in the corner and watched the whole show.
After the seventh princess left the Xiao family, she did not dare to speak or look at the emperor. She drank and ate the whole time, and even did not dare to make any big moves for fear that the emperor would question her in public.
Now that the emperor was gone, she dared to relax. When she looked around, she happened to see Concubine Xuan's sad eyes.
The seventh princess's newly annihilated thoughts began to come alive again.
Concubine Lan drank the wine calmly, and naturally had no intention of leaving. Looking at each of them, Concubine Lan felt like laughing.
She and Concubine Xuan could no longer go back, especially when Concubine Congrong gave birth to the third prince. After the emperor raised Concubine Xuan, Concubine Xuan gradually drifted away from her.
Concubine Lan doesn't have such big ambitions. She just wants the safety of her family, that she will grow old without disaster or illness, and that she can raise her second princess well. This is enough.
As soon as the emperor left, the banquet gradually ended, and everyone slowly left the table. Concubine Xuan felt bored, so she also got up and left.
When the seventh princess saw this, she also got up and went.
Concubine Lan frowned again as she watched the two people leave. These seventh princesses were really persistent.
Fang Guiren also left.
Concubine Lan didn't want Concubine Xuan to do something wrong. In the current situation, no one could resist the imperial concubine becoming the queen, so it was time for Concubine Xuan to put her mind at ease.
They knew each other in their boudoir and kept in touch after entering the palace. Although they were not close friends, after entering the palace, she only had the most contact with Concubine Xuan. From the first to the later, it was the imperial concubine who fought for them in front of the former empress, and even more so the imperial concubine. She had given them some advice and shown them kindness, but Concubine Xuan had temporarily lost her true feelings.
At this time, the seventh princess caught up with Concubine Xuan and did not dare to say anything. Instead, she called someone to stop her and invited her to talk outside the garden.
Concubine Xuan didn't want to go, but the seventh princess was waiting behind her. If she didn't go, she would have to follow her back to her residence, which would be even worse if others saw her.
"Seventh Princess, you arranged the dance performance by Xiao's daughter just now, right? The Emperor did not follow the trend, which shows that you took this wrong step. Why are you looking for me now? I can't help you intercede." Concubine Xuan stepped forward and said very distantly.
"I don't need you to intercede. I will plead guilty for this matter, but I want to ask you, are you willing?" The seventh princess asked. She was unwilling to do so. When she thought of Xiao's daughter being sent away, she knew that the emperor She just wants Jiang Jinxin to be the queen.
Is there no room for reversal in this matter?
If Concubine Xuan were more ambitious and courageous, there would be no room for change in this matter.
"What on earth are you going to do!" Concubine Xuan said coldly.
After chasing her all the way here, she still wanted to provoke her. Concubine Xuan knew very well that if she joined her in the same trap, she would be miserable if she failed.
"I want you to kill her!" the seventh princess gritted her teeth.
"Are you sick? Why should I help you!" Concubine Xuan frowned, baffled by the seventh princess's entanglement and provocation.
She can do it herself if she wants to, but she has to do it for her.
Do you look like someone who was taken advantage of?
"Just because you want to be a queen!" the seventh princess said excitedly.
Jiang Jinxin was just one step away from becoming the queen. Her status would be completely different. With greater power, she would even have the support of courtiers.
The difference between a princess and a queen is not just a level, it is a leap in the status of a prince. The promotion of the family class. When a queen is born in a family, the status is not the same. It means entering the high-ranking circle of powerful people, and the interests involved and influence will expand widely.
If she were really allowed to sit on it, the seventh princess would be so depressed as she watched her becoming more and more beautiful every day. Even if she died, she would not be able to rest in peace.
That's why she had to look for people in many ways, but every one she looked for was useless. Xiao Yu'er, whom she had placed the greatest hope on, had a 90% chance of success with the late emperor's promise, but she never expected this result.
Concubine Xuan was her last chance, how could she not be excited.
Seeing the seventh princess's eyes turned red with excitement and her expression somewhat ferocious, Concubine Xuan frowned and didn't want to talk to her anymore.
"I won't listen to you, Seventh Princess. Don't look for me anymore. My Pei family has been loyal and loyal to you for generations. Even if there is anything between me and the imperial concubine, it is between me and her. But you and her I won't get involved."
After saying that, Concubine Xuan turned to leave.
"Are you so cowardly?" the seventh princess asked angrily.
Concubine Xuan ignored her and simply left.
The seventh princess was immediately discouraged. She took such a big risk to help the Xiao family, but in the end this was the result. She felt powerless, as if she was trapped by a huge hand, leaving her like a skipper. Struggling like a clown.
She gritted her teeth and made up her mind, "Go find Sumare."
If no one helps her, then she will find her own solution.
"Princess, this princess of the feudal kingdom will bring disaster to you." The maid said urgently.
"I can't control that much anymore. Rather than watching her climb into the back seat, I'll take a risk and exchange her life. That's enough." The seventh princess gritted her teeth and said ferociously.
After the seventh princess finished speaking, she left resolutely.
Concubine Xuan walked back to her residence and saw Concubine Lan waiting for her at the door. Concubine Xuan was surprised at first, then turned cold, "What are you doing here?"
"I want to go in and have a cup of warm tea with you to sober up." Lan Fei smiled.
Concubine Xuan frowned when she heard this. She didn't want to receive Concubine Lan, so she said, "It will take a long time to start the stove, so I won't entertain you."
After Concubine Xuan finished speaking, she stepped forward, and Concubine Lan followed her in. She smiled easily, "It doesn't matter, I don't have to drink tea, or I can just drink a glass of water."
"no water."
"Then I won't drink. After all, I want to talk to you about something personal." Concubine Lan didn't mind and continued to smile at her.
Concubine Xuan stopped talking and looked hesitant. She looked at Concubine Lan, feeling helpless and confused, so she had no choice but to turn sideways and make way for her to enter the house.
After the two of them came in, the maid closed the door with a wink.
Concubine Xuan sat down first and looked at Concubine Lan, "Don't you want to be on good terms with me? Why are you so shameless?"
Concubine Lan also came forward and sat down. She didn't mind that the tea was cold. She picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup. She took a sip and felt the cold tea in her stomach. Although it was a little cold, her mind was a little clearer.
"I'm here to advise you, don't embarrass yourself too much and go against the imperial concubine again. Don't you understand the situation tonight? The position of queen belongs to her alone. You'd better let go of your obsession."
Concubine Xuan doesn't like hearing this. What is obsession?
She also wants to be a queen, so why is she so obsessed with it?
"Did she ask you to come here? If I don't accept your suggestion, will she propose to the emperor to destroy me?" Concubine Xuan looked at her with a cold face.
"It's not that she wants to ruin you, it's that you can't make the emperor feel at ease."
