PFC Chapter 171: Not So Obvious of Stupidity
Chapter 171: Not So Obvious of Stupidity
Song Muxue did not act like a pitiful little green tea girl in the past. Instead, she said calmly, "Don't worry, sister. I just heard that the emperor was seriously ill and was worried about his condition, so I sent medicine to the palace. I will leave when the emperor wakes up. I will definitely not compete with you for the emperor's attention and love."
She smiled bitterly and said, "Besides, I know myself well. My sister is the emperor's niece and we are from the same school. The imperial teacher is also a person that the emperor relies on very much. How can I compete with him? So my sister's worry is unnecessary."
Well, they casually characterized her attitude towards Concubine Shen and the others as competing for favors, and even put the blame on their master for having too much power to control the master.
This rebirth is indeed different, and the stupidity is not so obvious.
Concubine Jiang, who happened to hear the news of Emperor Qinglong's coma, rushed over and raised her voice: "Who? Who is so bold as to want to compete for favor at this time?"
The high-decibel volume of Concubine Jiang's yelling gave the Queen a physical headache, and she subconsciously raised her hand to rub her brows.
Song Yunxi looked at Concubine Jiang who came in hurriedly. She was a bright and beautiful woman. No wonder she was sent into the palace by the Jiang family as a concubine's daughter.
It’s just that... this brain doesn’t seem to be working very well.
[It seems that what the third brother said is right. His aunt can live a carefree life in the palace, all thanks to the blessing of brainless Kongkong.]
puff!
Concubine Tong, who was following behind Concubine Jiang, almost spit out her thoughts when she heard the familiar voice, and she stumbled and almost fell.
Fortunately, Emperor Qinglong's coma led people to misunderstand that she lost her composure because she was too worried, so no one held her accountable for her misconduct.
But Ye Xuanling, who came in with Concubine Tong, stared at Song Yunxi with an unclear look, as if he wanted to cut her open to see if she was possessed by some evil ghost.
The queen asked helplessly: "Why are you all here?"
"I ordered my sisters to come here. Your Majesty, the Queen, won't mind?"
Concubine Shen regained her arrogance: "After all, the emperor's coma is a serious matter. Not only the sisters in the palace, but also the court officials should know about it."
The Queen then realized that not only Concubine Tong and Concubine Shen had come, but all the concubines, noble ladies, and beauties in the harem who rarely showed up in public in the past had come and were guarding outside the Chongzheng Hall.
Moreover, all the civil and military officials in the court had entered the palace, especially the civil and military officials above the second rank had already appeared in the Chongzheng Hall.
Song Yunxi narrowed her eyes dangerously——
[Has it been confirmed that the old emperor is no longer capable of success, so she is eager to take this opportunity to establish her son's authority and restore his reputation? ]
Imperial Tutor Zhu, old General Pingnan, and current Prime Minister An, who were able to hear her thoughts, were all shocked. Could it be that the Emperor was really dying?
The war on the border is still unresolved and the situation in the court is even more turbulent. Even if the emperor is so suspicious that it is difficult to cure, he must not allow any problems to occur at this time.
Look at the situation of Concubine Shen and her son, where the mother is strong and the son is weak, and there is an ambitious Shen family behind them. If the Sixth Prince is really allowed to succeed to the throne, the Jin'an Dynasty will be in danger!
For those ministers who are not from the Sixth Prince faction but support the legitimate heir in their hearts, the Emperor cannot allow himself to fall into a deep sleep when he loves the Sixth Prince the most. Even if something really is going to happen, it must be when the Emperor completely changes his attitude towards Prince Chen, the legitimate heir, and when Prince Chen has established a firm foundation in the court.
At worst, we have to wait until the Imperial Master comes out of seclusion.
With the Imperial Master, a staunch supporter of the throne, there is absolutely no way the Emperor would make the Sixth Prince his crown prince.
Although there is Song Yunxi, the disciple of the Imperial Master, this girl is far inferior to the Imperial Master in terms of influence and deterrence.
This is also the common voice of those who support the succession.
As for those court officials of the Sixth Prince's faction, they were full of expectations for the merit of following the Emperor. After all, the Emperor had always implicitly mentioned the idea of making the Sixth Prince the crown prince many times. If the Emperor really could not wake up after a sleep, then the Sixth Prince would be the new emperor in full legitimacy.
As for the neutral faction, they were afraid that this undercurrent of struggle for the throne would affect them, so they stood far away and did not dare to get close.
[The Shens are really overthinking. If they knew that the poison they spent so much time and effort to put in the old emperor had been cleared by me, they would probably cry, right? ]
Although she didn't know when the soul-breaking poison in Emperor Qinglong's body in his previous life began to take effect, judging from the attitudes of Concubine Shen and her nephew, as well as Song Muxue's inexplicable act of offering medicine, the poison in Emperor Qinglong's previous life should have started to take effect during this period.
After hearing her words, Master Zhu felt relieved instantly. The worries and anxiety he had just felt, and even the various thoughts that had begun to arise in his mind, seemed to have never existed at all.
Although they kept the fact that they could hear Song Yunxi's inner thoughts as a secret, they all moved back in tacit understanding and gave their place to the impatient Sixth Prince's faction.
Master Zhu: I have always said it, with my girl Xi around, nothing uncontrollable will happen.
Old General Pingnan: My guess was correct, this girl is very capable!
Prime Minister An: It seems that my judgment was correct. The young nun has indeed inherited the true teachings of our master.
That’s right, the current Prime Minister An Shiru, a clear-minded official among the civil officials, came from Shengyun Mountain.
In terms of seniority, he should call Song Wentian his grandmaster, and Song Yunxi would naturally be his aunt.
[It seems that my judgment on the time when the Soul-Breaking Gu would take effect was correct. I just wonder if this stupid emperor can regain his sanity and see clearly the monsters around him after this coma.]
The unconscious Emperor Qinglong: You little girl, that’s enough, why do you keep scolding me endlessly?
Ye Xuanqi asked Tang Yuanshi to repeat what he had just said in front of everyone.
Shen Qiaoping was the first to speak: "It's really thanks to Mu Xue that she has the Qingxue Pills, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Be the first to confirm Song Muxue's achievement in saving Emperor Qinglong.
Concubine Shen also held Song Muxue's hand affectionately, "If you were not willing to give up such a miraculous medicine, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."
As she spoke she wiped away her tears.
Ye Xuanrong looked at Song Muxue with eyes full of affection.
Although he has not yet confessed to his mother and cousin about his physical intimacy with Mu Xue, he has already made up his mind that he will not marry anyone but Mu Xue in this life!
Moreover, in his opinion, Song Muxue did not mention a word about this matter because she did not want to destroy the brotherly relationship between him and his cousin, so he had to swallow all the grievances alone.
The more Ye Xuanrong thought about it, the more he loved Song Muxue.
Song Muxue was not unaware of his affectionate gaze, but she pretended not to know and ignored it.
She was clearly kicked out of the Princess's Mansion that day, but for some reason, when she woke up from her inexplicable confusion, she found herself entangled with Ye Xuanrong naked.
She struggled but to no avail, yet she was afraid of being discovered so she dared not make a sound.
Maybe it was because she had been ignored and treated coldly by Shen Zhikang for too long, but gradually she became addicted to it and enjoyed this rare pleasure.
Judging from Ye Xuanrong's appearance, he should have been drugged. I think in this case, he would not remember clearly what happened after he woke up.
