127: Borrowing a Knife to Kill

, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

Concubine Li is different from the queen in being dignified. She has fine eyebrows and smooth skin. Even though her son is as old as her, she still looks beautiful. Especially those eyes that are full of water, looking at you like the spring breeze in March, making it difficult for people to feel defensive.

Su Xinyi knew that Concubine Li was not completely harmless under such an appearance. Otherwise, how could she have fought with the Queen for so many years without losing.

There was no sharpness in Concubine Li's words. Her words were comforting and did not sound like a question. She seemed to be asking out of genuine curiosity.

Su Xinyi's mind was spinning very fast, mainly because Concubine Li's attitude was a bit confusing.

It stands to reason that Su Yi followed the prince to Jing'an Mansion to investigate Li Ji, and she was responsible for the Yan Yin case to some extent. She did not believe that Concubine Li had no knowledge of it.

However, Concubine Li's attitude of reminiscing about the past makes it difficult for people to believe that Concubine Li knows everything about Li Ji's case. It is precisely because Concubine Li knows nothing that she can be so kind to Su Xinyi. This is the correct answer.

But Su Xinyi knew that might not be the case.

Su Xinyi's mind was racing very fast. After a brief pause, he raised his head and said, "Returning to the imperial concubine, I happened to go to Huanghuangfang to meet an old friend that day. It was really unexpected that I met Miss Li."

In short, Su Xinyi must not admit that she did it intentionally, and the fact that she went to see Zeng Liang could not be concealed once she found out. After all, she chatted with him on the street for a long time, and countless people saw her. .

Rather than deceiving Concubine Li, it would be better to tell the truth.

"Old friend?" Concubine Li looked at Su Xinyi with surprise, "Sixth Miss has just recognized her, but she already has an old friend in the capital? It's really surprising."

The smile on Su Xinyi's face faded, and she did not flinch when she met Concubine Li's probing and appraising eyes. She put on a simple smile unique to country people and said, "We felt like old friends at the first sight, which made Concubine Li laugh."

The eldest lady, who had never had a chance to speak, faintly sensed that something was wrong at this time. Concubine Li didn't seem to be chatting about family matters, but seemed to be interrogating something. Although she smiled very kindly, the eldest lady was not an ignorant boudoir girl. I can't help but feel a little thoughtful and dissatisfied.

I can't figure out what Concubine Li is going to do, and the eldest lady will not offend her easily. After all, this is His Majesty's favorite concubine. Although the Prince Xiang he gave birth to is not as popular as Prince Rong in the emperor's heart, Concubine Li is. He is more favored by the emperor than the queen.

At this time, when Xin Yi said this, the eldest lady took the opportunity to say with a smile: "Xin Yi, a child who grew up in the country, has a simple temper and is straightforward in doing things. He never cares about his origin when making friends. Our old man also said that this child is too much like Si Brother, the fourth brother was like this when he was the same age as Xin Yi, making people angry, laughing and helpless. "

Su Xinyi wanted to laugh when she heard what the eldest lady said. Concubine Li was reminiscing about the past when she came up. Now the eldest lady is repaying her words with a smile. What her father did in the capital back then, I think Concubine Li also did. She couldn't say a word that didn't sound like her father.

Concubine Li was a little surprised to see the eldest lady protecting Su Xinyi like this. However, what happened to her elder brother made her feel a thorn in her heart. Now she rescued Wanhua by such a coincidence, which made Concubine Li feel very unhappy. It was so comfortable that I couldn't help but call people into the palace to take a look.

This look was quite unexpected. The girl in front of her had proper etiquette and well-founded advances and retreats. Even though her words were a bit country-like, she would not be found wrong.

It's hard to imagine that she grew up in the countryside.

It can be seen from this that Su Xinyi is an extremely smart and scheming woman, and she does things in a systematic way. Otherwise, how long will it take for her to be protected by the people of the Duke of Qi's palace?

And because of her eldest brother's affairs, Concubine Li is not happy with the people in the Duke of Qi's palace. Not to mention Su Yi followed the prince south, and according to the news she knows, Su Xinyi also contributed a lot.

Concubine Li's thoughts changed. She looked at the eldest lady and said with a smile: "It has been so many years. Back then, Fourth Master Su was really a heroic young man. He was not afraid of tigers when he was just starting out. Your Majesty will sometimes sigh when he thinks about it. Today's younger generations are very young." It’s hard to find someone as heroic as Mr. Su.”

The eldest lady dare not agree to this. What does Concubine Li mean? If she dared to respond, wouldn't someone say tomorrow that the Duke of Qi's mansion was arrogant?

"There are many talented people in this generation. Among others, it is His Majesty Prince Xiang who is the queen of the empress. Your Majesty always praises me." The eldest lady said respectfully.

Su Xinyi couldn't help but shudder when her eldest aunt mentioned Prince Xiang. This prince was also a fierce man. A few years later, when His Majesty went hunting in the north, he almost died from a tiger's mouth when he was greedy for success.

Not much is known about King Xiang Su Xinyi. I only know that this incident caused a big fuss. Later, Concubine Li cried in front of His Majesty and complained that King Xiang was deliberately induced by a traitor to act carelessly.

Su Xinyi was already having a very difficult time in the Pingjing County Prince's Mansion at that time. She was able to know some things only because the Princess of Pingjing County insisted on taking her into the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival. She happened to witness Concubine Li insinuating that Prince Xiang was in danger in front of His Majesty. It has something to do with the Queen and King Rong.

His Majesty loved King Rong very much, but he was unkind to the Queen. He doted on Concubine Li, but was unkind to King Xiang's son. Therefore, Concubine Li and the Queen had only been fighting at an equal level for so many years, and they were indistinguishable.

Su Xinyi's thoughts were wandering. Listening to Concubine Li and her eldest aunt trying each other out, she stood aside making knots with her head hanging down.

In short, no matter what purpose Concubine Li summoned her to the palace, since she had done a favor to Li Wanhua, Concubine Li could not embarrass her openly. Not only could she not embarrass her, but she had to reward her with more favors.

When Su Xinyi thought of this, she suddenly understood that Concubine Li was so eager to summon her to the palace that she really had bad intentions.

Madam Li San and Li Wanhua would not say that it was her who helped them. Even if Jiang Mozhou could find out, he could not stand Concubine Li calling her into the palace so directly.

At this juncture, Concubine Li summoned her. As long as Jiang Mozhou was not a fool, he would definitely guess that the person on that day was her.

So he was waiting for her here.

If Su Xinyi in her previous life had never guessed that the people in the harem were thinking around, but after experiencing so many things, she was now familiar with these methods and understood it after thinking carefully.

Concubine Li would not really do anything to her, but she summoned her so high-profile, clearly wanting to kill someone with a borrowed knife!

She said that even for her elder brother Li Ji, Concubine Li would not give her a good look.

She raised her head slightly, looking at Concubine Li smiling and speaking softly. If she hadn't vaguely guessed the truth, who would have thought that she would use such means to plot against herself.
