It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager

Chapter 42 scheming

Tang Shishi didn’t take Zhao Chengjun’s words to heart at all, so why didn’t you have any interest in loving money? Dignity can be discarded, but money is not enough.

When Zhao Chengjun talked to Master Tang, Lu Yufei was standing behind. She was also there, but she was like an invisible person. Lu Yufei did not agree with the actions of Master Tang, performing dances in public, pulling out King Jing’s sword, and repeatedly confronting King Jing, which was equally disrespectful. However, I have to admit that the talented teacher Tang was extremely dazzling, with a shining light.

But no matter how good it looks, it doesn’t conceal the fact that Master Tang has committed a crime. This is disrespectful, at least dare to face King Jing Bijian, no matter whether Master Tang has thoughts in that respect, it is enough for her to die several times.

Lu Yufei felt that he should be punished severely, but King Jing had no intention of condemning him. Lu Yufei went to see Zhao Zixun quietly and found that he was slightly lost, as if he was blinded by the lights. There were surprises, surprises, and admiration in his eyes, but he was alone. No blame alone.

Lu Yufei lowered his eyes, pursed his mouth, and did not speak patiently.

Shishi Tang is still wearing Dunhuang dance clothes, and clanging at the slightest movement, almost no time to stop. After Zhao Chengjun finished speaking, he glanced at her clothes and said, “Reward I will send someone to the Jianjiayuan. You should go back and change your clothes first. Next time you dare to pretend to be a dancer, it won’t be a matter of words.”

Master Tang responded, quickly buckled the mask, and left the stairs. When she came downstairs, she instantly felt the eyes of many people focusing on her. Master Tang fastened her mask, ignored any calls, and ran away quickly.

Ren Yujun retracted his gaze, glanced at Zhou Shunhua lightly, and said, “Which dancer is this who is so presumptuous? The royal family called her, she even pretended not to hear it, and kept stopping.”

Zhou Shunhua took a sip of the tea, put down the cup, and wiped the corners of her lips with a kerchief: “Who knows. Maybe it’s a woman from a small family, don’t know the etiquette.”

Ren Yujun looked at Zhou Shunhua motionlessly, Zhou Shunhua did not evade, looking back blankly. In their corner, one lamp was extinguished, and the other one swayed with the airflow, and the light and shadow were swaying. For a while, the faces of both people were immersed in the shadows, and they couldn’t see their expressions clearly.

In the end, Ren Yujun smiled first and said: “They are of humble origins, so they are naturally inferior to Sister Shunhua, generations of public officials, heirs to poetry and books, and even the elders treat you differently. What I admire most about my sister is that she acts appropriately. No matter when or what happens, I will never lose my attitude. But my sister has been out for a long time just now. I don’t know what has caught my sister and made her uncharacteristic and impolite?”

Zhou Shunhua also smiled and said: “Sister Ren’s words are bad for me. In terms of generosity, rules, and moral character, how can I compare to the old sister? Even the concubine of the world has praised Sister Ren. Since entering the mansion. Later, Sister Ren taught me a lot. If there is a chance, I will surely repay my sister.”

Ren Yujun twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled faintly: “Mutual each other, I also learned from my sister.”

In this conversation, both people were unhappy. After Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun had finished talking, they turned their faces together, one watching the stage and the other drinking tea, neither of them would say a word to each other.

Zhou Shunhua stared at the bizarre stage, his thoughts slowly drifting away. She is a daughter of Cai Guogong, and was sent to the fief of King Jing. How could the family not prepare some trump cards for her? Two days ago, she found a secret letter sent to her by a spy at home under her bed. She followed the above information and went out to meet at the appointed time.

As a result, he almost fell into the concubine’s plan.

Zhou Shunhua found that something was wrong and left in a hurry. She ran back to the banquet hall in a hurry, but fortunately, no one followed her behind, she should have not been found. Zhou Shunhua finished her makeup and entered the table. As soon as she came in, she saw Ren Yujun fidgeting, constantly looking towards the door, as if waiting for something.

Zhou Shunhua’s thinking became clear at once. Yes, who else knows all her living habits, knows that she communicates with outsiders through secret messages, and knows where the letter she sends the message to? Zhou Shunhua is very guarded against others, and he is also very careful every time he meets. Only the people who share the house with her can be guarded against.

Ren Yujun betrayed her and let the concubine Shizi know her secret letter by some means. With the sword of the concubine, Ren Yujun can get rid of a serious confession without a **** sword.

Probably, it is two. After the imperial concubine did such a thing, not only what Zhao Zixun said on the surface, but also grievances inevitably grew in her heart. At that time Zhou Shunhua was put to death by King Jing, the eldest concubine and the eldest son were separated from each other, and Ren Yujun was the biggest winner.

It’s really good calculation. The surroundings were crowded and lively, but Zhou Shunhua’s eyes were as cold as a cold cave.

This is her good sister. Zhou Shunhua vowed that she must make Ren Yujun and Lu Yufei pay the price.

The corner on the stage covered his face with a sleeve, and turned around and changed his face quickly, bursting into flames. People around exclaimed that Zhou Shunhua was pulled back to her senses by the noise outside. She found that everyone was applauding. She also laughed and raised her hands to applaud.

When she applauded, she looked in the direction of the stage and suddenly noticed a problem. There were only three people at the most noble table in front of the stage.

Where did Master Tang go?

Master Tang covered his face and galloped all the way, ran back to Jianjia Courtyard to change clothes. Halfway through, she couldn’t dodge and bumped into someone.

Tang Shishi retreated a few steps, holding on to the pillars before reluctantly standing still. Nowadays, everyone is watching the theater in the banquet hall. There shouldn’t be anyone on the road. Even if there are people, they will avoid her in advance when they hear her footsteps. But this person didn’t. It’s better to say that the other party was deliberate rather than making a mistake.

Master Tang tightened his cloak and asked, “Who are you and why are you here?”

The other party was wearing a hood, she quickly looked around, and took Tang Shishi to hide in the next room. When she pulled people, Master Tang did not resist, Master Tang had already guessed who it was.

After entering the house, the other party closed the door and took off his hood, revealing a mediocre face. Master Tang’s pupils were slightly enlarged, and it turned out that Mrs. Wu, who was in charge of the gardening of flowers and plants, turned out to be the queen mother.

Mrs. Wu didn’t go in circles with Master Tang, and she said straightforwardly: “Ms. Tang, I must have mentioned to you that there will be someone in the palace to pick you up, and the old slave is the one who connects you. Time is limited. Please Miss Tang to tell me frankly and Yichun. What’s the matter with Ge, why would King Jing go there?”

Master Tang turned his heart, and immediately said with a touched expression: “Mr. Wu, it turns out that you are the person who was told by Grandma Feng. I have found you! I was still worried about how to notify the empress dowager. I didn’t expect you. Just showed up.”

“Aside from the gossip, King Jing checked it tightly. I can’t leave for too long.” Granny Wu said quickly and asked, “What the **** is going on today?”

“It’s a long story.” Teacher Tang sighed and whispered, “Today, I found Zhou Shunhua secretly leaving at the banquet. I felt that something was not right. I asked the tea maid for an excuse to find out that it was upstairs. It was empty. The concubine, the prince, and the son left not long ago. My instinct was wrong, and I ran to Yichun Pavilion despite the danger, trying to stop Zhou Shunhua’s actions. Unexpectedly, Zhou Shunhua escaped by himself, but led me into a trap. Here. When I pushed the door, I found it was a trap, and the concubine waited fiercely inside. I was anxious and wise, pretending to come to the dancer to practice dance, and then I was fooled.”

Teacher Tang organized the language while speaking, so the speaking speed was very slow. Granny Wu was anxious to leave, listening to Master Tang said casually, she almost died in a hurry: “Is this serious?”

“Really.” Master Tang took out something from his sleeve, stretched out his hand, and said, “Wu Granny, isn’t this Zhou Shunhua’s bead flower? Zhou Shunhua is also true, since she knew it for a long time, why didn’t she remind me? I was kind enough to save her, but I almost got involved. Granny Wu, you quietly contacted Zhou Shunhua. Did the queen mother have any explanation?”

Granny Wu’s face gradually sank and said, “It’s not us.”

“What?” Master Tang raised his eyebrows and said, “It’s not the empress dowager? Then, who does Zhou Shunhua want to see?”

This is what Granny Wu wants to know. Master Tang secretly stared at Granny Wu’s expression, and inadvertently said: “Maybe, Zhou Shunhua is for the elder son. Zhou Shunhua is infatuated with the elder son. Now the elder concubine is aggressive when he enters the door. It is also possible.”

Granny Wu’s face was pale and she didn’t explain much, but said: “I’ll report this matter to the Queen Mother as it is, and how to act afterwards depends entirely on the Queen Mother’s instructions. You did a very dangerous trick today, and King Jing may not really believe it. Next, don’t act rashly, save your strength first.”

Master Tang just waited for these words, and she responded, then paused for a moment, and asked tentatively, “Then Zhou Shunhua…”

Granny Wu sneered coldly and said, “I have my own idea. It’s okay if she was conspired by someone, if she was deliberately trying to betray the Queen Mother… Oh, I will make her regret coming to this world for a while.”

Master Tang raised his eyebrows secretly, lowered his eyes, and remained silent. Master Tang didn’t doubt Granny Wu’s words at all. Granny Wu’s identity was unusual. She was most likely a member of the factory guard. No matter what he did, Master Tang was not uncommon for people from this kind of place.

Master Tang could only pray for Zhou Shunhua, hoping that Zhou Shunhua really didn’t do anything, or if she was found out by Granny Wu, she would have to ask for more blessings. Anyway, it was impossible for Master Tang to show her kindness to save her, and Master Tang couldn’t even save her by himself.

After Zhou Shunhua is behind Cai Guogong, what does Tang Shishi have? Zhou Shunhua is only suspected of being rebellious, and Tang Shishi is really rebelling. If discovered, Master Tang will only die even worse.

Granny Wu looked up and down Master Tang’s eyes, held her hand, and said: “Mother Feng said before that you are pure and honest and loyal. I originally suspected, but now it seems that you have the best overall view. When your companions are in trouble, you take the initiative to save them, and you are not deceived by the illusion of Prince Jing. You can rest assured that as long as you continue to serve the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will not treat you badly.”

“I understand.” Teacher Tang smiled and said, “Thank you, Empress Dowager.”

Granny Wu put on her hood, looked out, and said, “I’m leaving first, you will leave after a while. Remember to hide your identity, don’t act rashly, and don’t let someone get caught.”

“Yes.” Master Tang obediently responded. She watched Granny Wu leave. After the others left, she opened the palm of her hand and put a pill in it.

Master Tang doesn’t know if Granny Wu and Empress Yao really trust her as they said, but at least, they don’t doubt Master Tang.

For the first time, Master Tang discovered that she had the potential to be a double-sided meticulous masterpiece.

Master Tang smiled, opened the window, and threw the pills into the lake behind the house. Master Tang looked at the darkened lake and whispered softly, “Zhou Shunhua, it’s your turn.”
