Chapter 139 Conversation (1)
Liu Zhirou didn't need to truly accept this Jade Beauty as her disciple. She didn't even need to communicate with her face to face. It would be enough to just stir up Ai Ziyi's ambition a little.
The current Ai Ziyi is no longer the naive little girl who just entered the palace. She already knows how important it is to compete for favor, and she will firmly grasp the favor in her hands.
She ran to the palace to accompany the emperor, risking being discovered by the guards or even beaten to death. It was definitely not because she loved the emperor so deeply that she could not extricate herself from him as she said.
But no matter what, although what she did was praised and recognized by the emperor, it severely offended the queen.
Although the queen was always kind, she was not a soft-hearted person and was bound to be angry. In this situation, there was no need for any external force, and the two of them would start fighting.
One is the emperor's favorite concubine recently, and the other is the queen who has been in the palace for many years without making any major mistakes. It is almost impossible to tell who is superior in a short period of time.
The Shu Fei who was deposed for murdering a pregnant concubine and the Chen Fei who died unexpectedly were actually the emperor's favorite concubines. Their deaths have greatly affected the power structure in the palace. Whether out of emotion or reason, the emperor will definitely support a new favorite concubine to compete with the queen.
The so-called imperial art is, to a large extent, the art of balancing power. Now the emperor will never allow a monopoly to appear in the court or the harem. It all depends on whether Ai Ziyi can seize this only opportunity and climb a little higher.
After writing the letter, Liu Zhirou continued to care about what happened in Changning Palace.
At this time, the emperor was already very tired, so he simply ordered all the concubines to return to him and not stay here to take care of him. Even the queen was driven aside by him. Only the eldest princess still sat steadily in the emperor's arms.
Strangely enough, the eldest princess would always make a fuss no matter who she fell into, and the servants who served the princess would be attacked like a storm if they were not careful.
But when she was in the hands of the emperor, the eldest princess was as obedient as a doll. If you ignore the shocking scars on her body, this can really be called a story of a loving father and a filial son.
After all the concubines and even the servants had left, the emperor sighed and gently patted the girl in his arms: "Thank you for your hard work."
"I have advised you a long time ago that you should not be so reckless. If the monarch is not discreet, he will lose his ministers. If the ministers are not discreet, they will lose themselves. After living for so many years, have you forgotten such a simple truth?" Unexpectedly, the eldest princess spoke. Her voice was very hoarse, not like a lively and cute child at all. However, Liu Zhirou guessed that it was very likely that her vocal cords were burned by the fire because she was protecting the emperor from disaster, and it was not necessarily an abnormal factor.
However, this point is worthy of attention. After all, in the queen's words, her eldest daughter's madness is very serious and she has no way to communicate normally with others. But now it seems that the eldest princess's communication ability is quite good, and her words are quite elegant.
Did the queen lie, or did she not know it herself?
"I'm just a little anxious. You know, Concubine Chen has a very close connection with the old witch, the Queen Mother. Her child is very rare. If she is really asked to give birth to this child, the entire royal family may be at risk of being overthrown." The emperor always looked superior no matter who he was facing. Even when facing the Queen Mother, he was only respectful in words. However, when facing the eldest princess, he seemed very guilty and tolerant. When he heard the other party's questioning, he immediately began to explain.
This can also prove from the side that the eldest princess is really important to the emperor.
"Is the baby in her belly really dead?" the eldest princess asked coldly.
"Well... I think so. After all, the entire palace has been burned to ashes, and there is nothing left on it. Could that evil creature still survive in this situation?" The emperor hesitated when he said this, and even seemed a little guilty.
"Is that right? Have you forgotten the power of that evil Buddha so quickly?" The eldest princess did not intend to let him go, and asked back sarcastically.
The emperor did not answer, but lowered his head guiltily. Seeing this, the eldest princess did not pursue the matter further, but changed the subject.
"I can't be out for too long. You have a few suspects now. Tell me and I'll test them."
"Don't just talk about the followers of the evil Buddha, bring those outsiders with you as well. You should understand that our enemies are not just one force."
When the emperor heard this, he immediately nodded calmly and said:
"Yes, I understand. Chen Fei is finished now. The evil Buddha will definitely not choose only this pawn. The identity of the queen mother is certainly very convenient, but it is outdated after all."
"But I have already found a way to guide the evil Buddha's reliance. I have already picked out a candidate, Concubine Chun, and have given her to him. She should have participated in many worships by now. I think she has been assimilated into the evil Buddha's believer. Let her be out in the open, at least it will be much easier to deal with her than letting her hide in the dark."
When Liu Zhirou heard her title, she instantly became excited.
Liu Zhirou was relatively able to accept the fact that this dog emperor had no feelings for her and only wanted to use her as a disposable chess piece. After all, she had never taken this emperor seriously and even secretly planned to kill this guy who was a combination of all kinds of dogs.
The friendship between us is just plastic. There is no need to be sad or worried. We will just fight against the enemy with our soldiers and block the water with earth.
However, the emperor did not seem to take her seriously. Perhaps he felt that her fate was sealed after she worshipped the evil Buddha. He just mentioned it casually and then started talking about other people in the palace.
"There is another one who is a remnant of the Shen family. I didn't kill him thoroughly enough, and one of them escaped. This witch has the ability to bewitch people. It is difficult for me to resist her head-on. I have already made her a beauty."
"But it's not a big problem. She was a maid of Concubine Chun in her early years. Although she has deceived Concubine Chun's mind through certain means, when Concubine Chun comes back from worshipping the evil Buddha and being influenced by the other side, she will definitely find something wrong and fall out with this witch. By then, it won't be a big problem to drive the tiger to eat the wolf."
