Chapter 325 Trust
Chapter 325 Trust
Zhen Huan gave a sarcastic smile, gently picked up the paper and pen on the table, and then gracefully put down the pen tip, saying as she wrote: "Your Majesty should practice these two characters carefully."
After saying this, she stood up straight and looked directly into Qi Yuebin's eyes: "Your Majesty, please have a good rest. I won't disturb you any longer. Please think carefully about what I just said. I am waiting for your reply."
As Zhen Huan's back walked further and further away, Qi Yuebin turned around and looked at her, his face instantly turned ashen.
The word "trust" on the small table was so strong that it could be seen through the paper. It was particularly eye-catching under the candlelight, as if silently mocking her.
Seeing his mistress like this, Jixiang hurried forward, put the paper away, and then said softly and comfortingly, "Your Majesty, if you don't want to, just refuse Concubine Xi. There's no need to be angry."
"Why wouldn't I be willing? I'd love to be able to help the Queen Mother, but, alas..."
She and An Lingrong had an agreement that she would not use Wen Yi to restrict herself, but it was Zhen Huan who came today.
It's so frustrating to be forced to do things!
Qi Yuebin sat for a long while and silently let out a breath. This An Lingrong was really too vengeful. He had forced her once before, and now she was following suit and forcing him.
Well, let’s repay each other with a tit for tat and we won’t owe each other anything anymore.
"Prepare the writing brush and ink, and then go get the seal my grandfather left me."
"Yes."
Back then, while on the march to war, Qi Buchi found a homeless child. Seeing that he had some talent, he arranged for a military clerk to teach him reading and martial arts. The child was diligent, and when he grew up, he joined the army, fought bravely and never flinched, and was awarded an official position for his military exploits.
Later, a discerning official in the court noticed him. Seeing his handsome appearance and outstanding military achievements, he thought he was a promising talent and decided to marry his daughter to him. As a result, his status rose even higher, and he was transferred to the capital and became a general in charge of guarding the capital.
Now, twenty years later, few people know about this incident. He also relied on his own efforts and the support of the Yue family to achieve the position of commander of the Cavalry Battalion, and the Shouhuang Palace in Jingshan was within his protection range.
When they walked out of the Xinghuachun Pavilion, it was already getting dark. Jin Xi carefully supported Zhen Huan and said, "My Lady, please be careful."
"Ok!"
Jin Xi watched her expression, thinking over and over again about what Qi Yuebin had just said. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke softly, "Your Majesty, please don't take Concubine Duan's words to heart. Concubine Wen..."
Before she could finish, Zhen Huan smiled and said, "How could she possibly understand the relationship between Rong'er and me? Besides, Rong'er's intelligence isn't limited to the few things she said. If she wants to sow discord between us, she's really miscalculating!"
After hearing this, Jinxi felt relieved and her expression relaxed.
Zhen Huan walked slowly, lost in thought as she went, "Sis Mei is pregnant this time, and I always feel that Rong'er is particularly anxious. I feel a little uneasy too."
"Then you can ask Concubine Wen directly!"
Zhen Huan shook her head and sighed slightly, saying, "I understand her personality. If things were difficult and Sister Mei and I were pregnant, she wouldn't tell us and let us worry. Now the only thing I can do is to fully cooperate with her according to her plan."
Jin Xi showed a worried look on her face. After a moment's hesitation, she asked again, "Will Concubine Duan agree?"
Zhen Huan said firmly: "I definitely will!"
"But I think she looks a little unhappy!"
Zhen Huan's expression remained unchanged, but a barely perceptible coldness flashed across her eyes. She spoke slowly, "Now that the situation has reached such a critical moment, how can I let her sit idly by? People need to have principles, but it also depends on who they are facing. If you blindly stick to principles and don't know how to adapt, then these principles will become shackles that restrict your hands and feet.
Besides, she knew in her heart that if she didn't take advantage of this opportunity to defeat the Queen Mother, it would be difficult to find such a good opportunity in the future."
After pausing, he looked off into the distance, his gaze revealing a complex expression. He continued, "Concubine Duan has always been thoughtful and thoughtful. She knows how to assess the situation. Our position in the palace is becoming increasingly secure, and the struggle with the Queen is becoming increasingly intense.
If she helps me now, she'll have someone to rely on in the palace in the future. When the dust settles, we won't treat her unfairly and will definitely find her a peaceful and honorable life. She's a smart person and will naturally weigh the pros and cons. Even if she has any concerns, she'll have to consider Wen Yi more."
After hearing this, Jinxi nodded repeatedly.
Xianyue Pavilion was quiet and peaceful. Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong sat on either side of a soft couch. A chessboard was neatly placed on the small table in front of them, with black and white pieces distributed in an orderly manner.
An Lingrong held a black piece in her slender fingers and turned it back and forth, but her eyes were fixed on a certain spot on the chessboard. After a long while, she absentmindedly put the chess piece down with a slight "click" sound.
Seeing her like this, Shen Meizhuang sighed slightly in her heart, deliberately leaving an obvious flaw in her chess move, and the white piece in her hand fell casually on the chessboard.
However, An Lingrong was still immersed in her own thoughts, ignoring the great opportunity to attack and just staring at the chessboard with empty eyes.
While she was thinking, Xiao Yunzi entered the hall and brought back Zhen Huan's words.
An Lingrong finally relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief. Her frown gradually relaxed as she murmured, "I hope Concubine Duan won't let me down."
Shen Meizhuang put down the chess piece, picked up a round fan beside her and gently fanned An Lingrong, a faint smile on her lips: "Don't worry, she has her own plans and methods, we just have to wait and see!"
"Yes!" An Lingrong stood up and sat next to Shen Meizhuang, placing her palm on her belly and patting it twice. "Sister, you are pregnant now and cannot be tired. Let Concubine Jing take care of the affairs of the palace."
"I see!"
An Lingrong was still worried and said solemnly, "You have to promise me one thing."
"what's up?"
"No matter what happens in the future, you must take care of yourself first. Don't worry. I'm here for you. Don't worry!"
Seeing her serious expression, Shen Meizhuang raised her hand and gently stroked her cheek, with a bit of pity and love, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will listen to you. With you here, I am not afraid of anything!"
