The two of them stared at each other for a long time, and the few leaves were blown down one by one by the ruthless wind.

It is not the leaves that wither, but everything that has been hidden in their hearts and cannot be let go.

All the illusions and beauty they had when they first entered the palace would only be gradually shattered over time. And the emperor they had always been in awe of was still a ruthless person after all.

If you say you are affectionate, you are giving it to someone else, and you will get a little more from her.

From beginning to end, for Xia Muling, some things will naturally come into her hands without fighting for them. For example, the right to control all the real power in the harem is enough to be worthy of the position of the eldest grandson Wanji.

Who said that the honor and scenery of this post are still not as good as having real power and being comfortable.

And although she got the queen position and never received the emperor's love, since she couldn't get the favor, she lost everything she deserved, and she deserved it.

As Ye Yilan said, trouble comes from the mouth. I think she understands better than herself. Naturally, she will not tolerate people who want to frame them for a day, and not a grain of sand will get in her eyes.

Just because she knows better than anyone else, and because she doesn't need any competition for favor or jealousy. She has everything she can't have, but there is nothing left to be dissatisfied with.

What was dissatisfying was the surprises the emperor gave him everywhere, which only belonged to Ye Yilan and the memory of the two of them.

"Concubine Shu, you have a clear conscience."

She really didn't know that these words could be said so shamelessly.

Only a woman understands a woman's thoughts. And her thoughts are never revealed, which naturally makes people think that this person is mysterious, but also makes people doubt her behavior without thinking.

Listening to her words, it was obvious that she didn't believe what she said. She was so doubtful, but she wanted to tell everything without any secret.

But these have never been done, so how can we do them together?

With his eyes drooping down, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile, but that smile was full of sarcasm: "I dare to ask the queen, if I have ever done anything harmful to the world, the master is in the hands of the master. If not, the queen

Aren’t the words of the empress just a fantasy?"

She has no evidence at all, so how can she be sure that she has a clear conscience?

A fantasy?

The eldest grandson Guanji had no choice but to smile softly, and looked at her carefully with disdainful eyes: "In the past, I thought Chen Zhaoyi was very articulate, but I never thought that Concubine Shu was also like this."

As for her sharp tongue, her ability is not as good as that of Ye Yilan.

Ye Yilan's single words just now made her lose face. Xia Muling was just talking and didn't have much ability. After all, no matter what Ye Yilan did, Murong Haochen would naturally be behind him.

Of course she wasn't afraid of the support. But Xia Muling had no ability to fight against him. She had no ability at all.

"My concubine often goes to the Ye Mansion since she was a child. It is inevitable that she has been contaminated by Chen Zhaoyi's talent to some extent. Don't be offended, Your Majesty."

Naturally, in terms of sharp teeth and intelligence, she cannot compare to Ye Yilan. Ever since she was a child, she has naturally been unable to compare with her. After all, she is a first-class talented woman who was personally canonized by the late emperor, so naturally no one can compare with her.

Talent?

She didn't necessarily know how much talent Ye Yilan had, but more of a seductive aura. The two of them had only met once, and they were so charming that Murong Haochen was so kind to her.

At first, he really wanted to frame Ye Yilan and ruin her reputation in the mansion, but he was ignored by her. He has always been unwilling to be served by anyone close to him. Even he has never entered his house except for the maids.

Ye Yilan could be alone with him and even sent him back to Ye Mansion in person. If he had not expressed his love for Ye Yilan, his soul would have been taken away long ago.

It can be seen that Ye Yilan's seductive skills are really powerful.

He walked slowly to her side, raised his head arrogantly, and sighed sadly: "That's right, I have forgotten the friendship between the two of you before."

friendship?

Thinking back to the emperor's warning, this friendship has long since faded away. She still clearly remembered that he told her that the person she had always admired was him, but she never expected that the person she inadvertently left behind was Pa.

The boy turned out to be Ye Yilan.

With tears hidden in her eyes, she subconsciously raised her eyes and then looked away, suppressing the tears in her eyes, naturally not letting her find out that she had any intention of crying.

He bowed slightly and said, "If nothing happens, I will leave."

"Concubine Shu, are you willing to cooperate with me?"

"cooperate?"

As soon as she turned around, she heard the eldest grandson Guanji say the word cooperation. However, her eyes could not help but frown, and she spoke without hesitation: "Empress, what do you mean by these words?"

The eldest grandson Guanji said this specifically because he felt that in this harem, Xia Muling had always been alone and had no contact with anyone. If he did something, he would not suspect her. Naturally, Murong Haochen valued her so much.

Xia Qianyi tried every means to get him to join the court as an official. Even if he resisted the order many times, Murong Haochen could no longer pursue him.

On the other hand, although the Xia family was suppressing them, they also gave them an official title. Everyone felt that it was because Concubine Shu took control of their real power that the palace gave the Xia family an official title.

But unfortunately, that official title was only reserved for Xia Muling. Thinking about it, Murong Haochen just wanted to repay the favor he had received back then. This favor actually took away the real power that belonged to his position as queen.

On the contrary, once Xia Muling got this real power, the harem became her harem, covering the sky with one hand. Everything she did was so orderly. It was rare to see the Queen Mother so happy, and she also praised her. Obviously, all this originally belonged to her, but her aunt

Treat her better than yourself.

But she just swallowed all this in her heart and couldn't tell anyone at all. On that night, she wanted to express her complaints to him, but it was obvious that his approaching behavior made her fall again. But she let him

What Su Xiaoman saw, if he hadn't stopped him, Su Xiaoman would have died in his hands. In this way, she would never tell the secret. But she had no evidence and could not correct herself. Instead, she had to be on guard against her at all times.

Looking directly at Xia Muling, she couldn't help but smile sadly: "You and Ye Yilan are both smart people, so why bother to speak frankly and speak frankly to me."

"If the queen doesn't tell me, how can I know about it?"

She naturally knew what her eldest grandson Wanji meant by cooperation. But she just didn't want to say it, and she didn't want to tell the truth. It would be more mysterious to leave some answers to everything.

But unfortunately, sometimes we don’t like to be so clever, and there is no need to put such little cleverness on it. In this way, it will appear that we are doing something unnecessary.

After hearing this, the eldest grandson Guanji secretly suppressed his anger, but he also forced a smile.

"Now I have the real power with you. If you can cooperate with me and work together to deal with Chen Zhaoyi, I will naturally not care about the real power. How about that?"

As long as they can work together to eradicate Ye Yilan, they will not care whether they have real power or not. In the future, if they use some methods, they will naturally make Murong Haochen inseparable from him forever. On the contrary, the people in the Northern Desert are good at using these ** techniques.

"If I agree to the queen's promise, can the queen keep my concubine safe?"

When Xia Muling saw her walking in front of him, she silently took a step back and asked.

keep us safe?

Who will know if this matter will be implicated in the future?

"The relationship between your brother and my cousin, do you think I can protect you?"

She was dejected, but when she heard her eldest grandson Guanji mention this matter, her eyes suddenly lit up. However, her hands were hidden in her sleeves uneasily, and she said slowly and thoughtfully: "Why not,

Concubine Rong Chen, please think about it carefully."

The matter was so sudden, how could she just agree to it casually? Once she agreed, it would turn out to be the culprit in the end. Naturally, such things need to be carefully considered.

What's more, since the words came from her mouth, she naturally dared to guarantee all this casually. I don't know if her words will be true in the future.

Changsun Guanji is simply untrustworthy. Her only goal is to get rid of Ye Yilan, so she will naturally try every means to get rid of her. I am afraid that she will only be a little forbearing, and she will only be able to block his sword.

.

The reason why she didn't look for Feng Tingyu was because she simply couldn't become a great person. The only person close to Ye Yilan was herself. But things were different now, and she was afraid that no matter who she was, she would be afraid of him.

Even the last time she begged for mercy, her words no longer contained the people who were as close as she was in Ye Mansion. Instead, with the emperor, everything has changed. Perhaps, her heart will also change. She will become selfish.

, and don’t let anyone get close.

After all, the person she occupies is the person that the women in the harem cannot have. But all the complaints in her heart can only be kept in her heart, and nothing can be shown on the surface.

"If I had Jin Shuyi's child, I would never keep it?"

"The Queen wants to borrow Chen Zhaoyi's hand, but..."

Only now did Xia Muling realize that what she said about cooperation was actually this idea. She wanted to use Ye Yilan's hand to get rid of Lan Shan's child. But that was not the case for her at the beginning. If her brother hadn't warned her not to touch her, she would have

Won't let her go.

Even Ye Yilan has never been pregnant, so how could she get pregnant.

She nodded silently, reached out to hold her hand, and warned her earnestly: "This matter will never harm you and me."

Since he wants to deal with Ye Yilan, how can he harm himself? He has only one scapegoat.

"I really can't keep that slave's child."

As she gradually deepened her thoughts, it was natural that the words of her eldest grandson Guanji were not always engraved in her mind. Naturally, those words were spoken to herself.

"It seems that Concubine Shu is a talented person who knows the current affairs."

The eldest grandson Wanji felt a little relieved for some reason. In her heart, she naturally couldn't keep this child, so there was no need to hesitate. On the contrary, she always hesitated and never gave herself a straightforward word.

On the contrary, the more she cooperated with her, she refused to tell the truth at all, but she didn't know what was going on in her mind.

Know the current affairs?

For some things, not all true thoughts can be determined in one sentence, let alone these things can be answered in this way.

"Whether he can be retained or not depends solely on the Queen's words. After all, he is still the emperor's heir. Once discovered by the emperor, who is to blame?"

Xia Muling, on the other hand, patted her palms comfortingly and forced a smile.

"Didn't I say that someone has already shouldered the blame, so there's no need for anyone to bother themselves."

This matter helped him, so how could he be discovered? Even if he was discovered, Murong Haochen had no evidence, so how could he blame himself for all these crimes.

His gloomy eyes were always staring at Xia Muling, naturally wanting her to stand with him, so that he could eradicate everything.

"The Queen has a great plan to kill two birds with one stone."

Thinking about it, she has always wanted to get rid of Ye Yilan, and also wanted Lan Shan's child to disappear forever. On the contrary, she has been fully prepared for all this, but she just needs someone to help her.

But how could she have confidence that she would definitely help her?
