Chapter 146 Behind the scenes. In front of the stage

"I have sent someone to find out the matter of Gu Xian Villa for a long time. The inside of the villa is an extremely formal and clean business, but behind the back, there is a dirty business. Do you think I'm right?"

Listening to Ruan Lingzheng's words, Gu Qinger lowered her head, bit her lips, and could no longer say a word.

"Also, do you think you and your sister are lucky to be selected in this draft? What I want to tell you is that you can still survive in Guxian Villa. You have to thank Concubine Yao. Of course, you have to thank her even more for entering the palace. Do you understand?

Ruan Lingzheng's voice echoed like thunder in Gu Qinger's heart. Unexpectedly, everything was because of her. Why? Why can she get the sincere love of her eldest brother, the different treatment of her brother, and his heart, and even the favor of the emperor?

What is it for you? Why can I only be your foil? Why can you shine brightly, but I am dull?

Qinger, who had been kneeling in the mud for a long time, moved, and she fully understood. Suddenly she looked up at Ruan Lingzheng, smiled sadly and said, "It turns out that everything is just a game set by the emperor, and my concubine is just a pawn in this chess game. Now, after using it, it is no longer worthless. Therefore, my life has come to an end so far, right? Oh, Your Majesty, how can you be so cruel?"

After listening to this, Ruan Lingzheng suddenly turned around and looked at Gu Qinger, who was embarrassed but still unwilling, said indifferently, "I didn't want to treat you like this. Unfortunately, it was you who had to be smart and want to plan for me to enter this game. Who can you blame? In front of me, you'd better do your part. I absolutely do not allow any concubine to play tricks and provoke my imperial power in front of me, so everything today is made by yourself. Remember, never want to play tricks in front of me!"

Ruan Lingzhen didn't expect to get this field about the token. Although Gu Qinger's stealing his royal token should have been a capital crime, he has not yet obtained the military power to control southern Xinjiang, so Gu Qinger can't die at present. At least, he has to wait until he gets the military power in Ruan Lingheng's hands.

He waved his hand and shouted to the guards around him, "Come on, take Qing Zhaoyi into the cold palace and never let her go!" Unless Ruan Lingheng is willing to exchange military power with me, you can stay there!

After saying that, Ruan Lingzheng no longer ignored Qinger's begging for mercy and crying, he directly shook his sleeves and went to Tianze Palace surrounded by everyone, but he suddenly stopped after a few steps. As if he thought of something, he turned around and walked towards Yuyao Palace.

**

Yuyao Palace.

Mo Ziyao's muddle-headed and heart-filled Yunlan returned to Yuyao Palace one after another.

As soon as Yunlan raised her head, she saw Wanqiu look at her and quickly went to support Mo Ziyao. And there seemed to be a little exploration in her eyes.

Shaking her head, Yunlan ordered, "Your mother has just been caught in the rain. Go and prepare the hot water for your mother to bath, and prepare a bowl of ginger tea."

"Yes." Wanqiu and Yuzhi took their orders and went to work separately. Yunlan went forward to help Mo Ziyao into the room. Mo Ziyao slowly recovered at this time. Looking out of the window, the rain has gradually stopped, and the sky is slightly dark. "What time is it?"

"It's been a moment since I returned."

At this time, Wanqiu came in and said, "Mother, the water is ready. Let's take a bath first."

Mo Ziyao said "um" gently and entered the bath room with the late autumn. Yunlan stood at the door for a while, got up and went back to her room to change her clean clothes, and then remembered what Mo Ziyao had told her to do before, so she hurried to Luoyi Palace.

Mo Ziyao retreated from the screen and wanted to stay to serve her in the late autumn. The flowers were full of fragrance, and the misty room suddenly became a little empty and quiet.

A deep sigh sounded leisurely, breaking the silence of the room. The voice was as soft as rain, but the sadness in it made people involuntarily tighten and regret it.

Mo Ziyao's body slowly leaned back, leaned against the edge of the bathtub, her eyes closed, and there was a strong sadness between her eyebrows, and there was a trace of fatigue on her beautiful face, which was indelible.

A beautiful jade hand played with warm water freely and sprinkled on the fragrant shoulder, hoping to borrow the warmth and eliminate the troubles in his heart. The arm hanging obliquely on the edge of the wooden barrel was also gently withdrawn, sinking into the warm water, and was covered by pink petals covered with water.

The white fog floats, and the fragrance floats all over the house. Mo Ziyao quietly soaked in warm water, removed the tiredness all over her body, and also made herself briefly escape from her depressed thoughts. She stretched out her slender jade hand and touched her little face, which was slightly flushed by the heat.

In fact, she didn't want to think about today's events, but everything that happened today flashed through her mind like a movie. From going to Tairen Palace early in the morning to invite the Empress Dowager to wandering in the imperial garden, she accidentally saw Ruan Lingzheng holding Qinger to meet guests in the pavilion. Her mood sank little by little.

Why is it like this? She asked herself in her heart.

Ruan Lingzheng rewarded the blessing handkerchiefs to the concubines. She can understand that the Empress Dowager wants to have grandchildren earlier, and he wants to consolidate his position by this, which is understandable.

It is understandable that Yun Zhaoyi, the 'Cousin', was named as the highest-ranking German concubine in the harem. After all, she has followed him for so many years without regret, and she deserves the title of Concubine De.

But what about Qinger? Why can she jump ten grades and be directly awarded Zhaoyi just by "accidentally" falling into the water and "accidentally meeting" the emperor? Could it be that he was confused by Qing'er's beauty? After a while, he took her to meet important ministers, but their intimacy was a little stiff. What on earth did he think?

The more she thought about it, the more Mo Ziyao felt confused, and later she even had a faint pain in her head. Everything came too fast and suddenly, which caught people off guard. However, when she put down her personal emotions and recalled the whole incident carefully, several inadvertent fragments made her find all kinds of loopholes and also sounded a wake-up call for her.

At Tairen Palace, when everyone was about to leave, Ya Zhaoyi suddenly proposed to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers.

Yi Zhaorong came over and openly provoked her, distanced her from the crowd, and then heard someone shouting: Someone fell into the water, save people quickly.

In retrospect, it was Ya Zhaoyi's voice, but at that time, everyone's eyes were attracted to the other side of Cuihu. At the beginning, Mo Ziyao didn't care about it and found it after thinking about it.

"Ah, I see, call the guards to save people." It's still her voice.

When Ruan Lingzheng rescued Qing'er, everyone was guessing her identity, and at this time, Qing'er's personal girl, Xi'er, appeared! She rushed forward with an exclamation, "Ah! Miss, how did you do this!"

No one around her recognizes her. After all, she is just an unknown little beauty. Who will remember her? At this time, the maidservant behind Ya Zhaoyi was suddenly surprised and said, "Ah, isn't this the beauty who must come to the imperial garden every day?" This sentence really shows everyone's identity.

Ruan Lingzheng took Qing'er back to the Twilight Pavilion, and Ya Zhaoyi's voice came to his ear: "Maofei, why don't we go and have a look."

Why do you call yourself alone? Are you afraid that I will miss this good play?

When he was about to leave the Muqing Pavilion, he saw Yi Zhaorong's sarcastic and strange smile on his side.

If you don't think about it carefully, you really can't find anything, but when you sort it out, you do find the loopholes in it.

She has known Qinger for so many years, and she knows more or less about her. In the past, she did not have such deep tricks and calculations as she is now. I have long suspected that there are high-ranking people behind her to help her make suggestions. Now it seems that Bi is undoubtedly Ya Zhaoyi. Of course, Yi Zhaorong is probably one of them. Otherwise, how could there be the scene where he met Nianzhi seduced the emperor and was humiliated in the Duqing Pavilion before he was canonized? However, it seems that she is just a chess piece ordered by Ya Zhaoyi.

Ya Zhaoyi, Liu Junya? The good sister of General Liu, who controls most of Ruan Nanguo's military power? Mo Ziyao quickly combed everything related to her in her mind. What kind of woman are you? You and I have no grievances in the past. I really don't know why you are targeting me?

In the curling smoke, Mo Ziyao smiled coldly, "Ya Zhaoyi, Ya Zhaoyi, I didn't expect that the person behind the scenes was you, and I almost ignored you. Fortunately, in the end, you still couldn't rely on loneliness and walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage! Thank you for arranging this scene. Let me know that I, Mo Ziyao, have another opponent since then. But in front of you, I will have one more heart!"

"My Yaoer, who do you want more attention to? Is it for me?" A loud and light joke voice suddenly sounded behind her, which scared Mo Ziyao, who was meditating, to jump. She conditionally stretched out her hands to cover **'s fragrant shoulders outside.

At this time, the figure had blocked her sight. Mo Ziyao only felt a sudden darkness in front of her eyes, and suddenly raised her head, and an extremely familiar handsome face appeared in front of her.

Looking angrily at the man who broke into his dormitory, Mo Ziyao frowned, and a layer of anger appeared in her eyes. She didn't want her jade-like body to be shown to people. Her body instinctively sank into the water, leaving only a head outside.

Looking up at the man who was only two feet away from him and made him angry, Mo Ziyao felt that an aggrieved mood gradually surged into her heart. She really wanted to ask him why he made Gu Qinger the title of Qingyi and why she spoiled her so much? But in an instant, he is a high emperor! But what's the big deal about promoting a concubine? And I'm just one of many concubines. Why do I feel unhappy?

Since you have thought about it thoroughly, later, those reproachful words eventually turned into a respectful and unfamiliar sentence: "Your Majesty, why are you here? I can't welcome you from afar, please forgive me!"

She lowered her head and did not see Ruan Lingzheng come in, with a faint anger on her face. Even if she finds out, she doesn't want to ask more.

There is no superfluous language, and you can't feel any emotional fluctuations. It is completely the standard etiquette of the imperial concubines to the emperor.
