Chapter 255: So smart, so easy to control
After hearing the imperial concubine's purpose, the queen sent someone to call Liao Yunfei.
The imperial concubine held the white jade peach blossom cup in front of her and spun it around on her fingertips.
"The Empress and the Emperor are deeply in love. No matter how many women there are in the harem, the Emperor is always loyal to the Empress. I also like this white jade peach blossom cup very much, but unfortunately, there is only one set, and only the Empress is worthy of enjoying it." Concubine Luo's tone was a little bitter.
Originally, with her status, she could be the master of these six palaces!
What is a queen?
The mother's family declined, and was not valued by the emperor, and did not even have the qualifications to participate in the government! The third prince was also mediocre, and he only knew how to show filial piety in front of the emperor all day long, and did not dare to have any ambitions.
Born in a royal family, filial piety is useless!
The most important thing is strength!
Facing Concubine Luo's sarcasm, the Queen simply smiled faintly and said, "If Concubine likes this white jade peach blossom cup, just tell me and I'll take it."
"How dare I take away the Queen's love." Concubine Luo put down the cup and said, "Queen, there is one thing I don't quite understand."
"What is it?" the Queen asked calmly.
"What is the Queen's intention in personally teaching Liao Yunfei the rules?" Concubine Luo asked directly.
She has always been like this. From the day she entered the palace, she felt superior to others. The emperor doted on her, gave birth to the fourth prince, and gained the power to assist in managing the six palaces. Even the queen had to give her some respect.
"What do you think my intention is?" the Queen asked instead of answering.
"The Queen Mother kept Xiao Yan'an. The Queen Mother must have guessed the Queen Mother's intention. In fact, she wanted to hold Xiao Yan'an hostage to contain the Prince of Huaiyang. The Queen Mother and the Emperor are mother and son, so this is naturally the Emperor's intention. Liao Yunfei became the prince's concubine, and she is the eye that monitors the prince. The Queen Mother would not want Liao Yunfei to become your pawn, right?"
The queen chuckled and asked, "Is Liao Yunfei the imperial concubine's pawn?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Liao Yunfei was summoned into the palace by me. She is where she is today because of the honor I gave her and the fact that she achieved her wish. It is impossible for her to be willing to work for you just because of a few sweet words from your Majesty."
"Your Highness, are you worried that I have bribed Liao Yunfei? Your Highness, you are worrying too much."
Concubine Luo was thinking about more than that.
She thought about it all night and finally figured it out. The emperor was on guard against the King of Huaiyang, so how could he really hope that the Luo family and the Rong family would ease their relationship? Her refusal to reconcile was exactly what the emperor wanted.
The Queen also saw this, so she brought Liao Yunfei to her side. If she could really make Liao Yunfei work for her, she would be pleasing the Emperor!
Don't think that she doesn't know what the Queen is planning!
At this moment, Liao Yunfei came in accompanied by a palace maid.
As soon as he saw Concubine Luo, his eyes filled with tears.
"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine." Liao Yunfei knelt down, her face tightening in pain.
However, in front of the queen, Liao Yunfei did not dare to lose her manners at all.
Otherwise, you will face even more severe punishment.
"What's wrong with you? Are you injured?" Concubine Luo noticed that something was wrong with Liao Yunfei and couldn't help but ask.
Liao Yunfei secretly looked at the queen and said, "To answer the Imperial Concubine, I am stupid and always fail to follow the rules. The nanny can only teach me again and again, and my knees are injured."
"Lift up your clothes and let me take a look." Concubine Luo wanted to see it with her own eyes.
If the Queen really used the palace rules to torment Liao Yunfei, it means that the Queen really has no intention of winning over Liao Yunfei. She is not so easy to fool!
Liao Yunfei lifted up her skirt, revealing her bruised and swollen knees, and looked at Concubine Luo with pleading eyes.
She didn't want to stay with the Queen anymore.
I don’t know if Concubine Luo can rescue her during this trip.
"The Queen has taught her well. Liao Yunfei is completely different from when she first entered the palace. She has already learned the rules. I came here today on the orders of the Queen Mother to help the Madam of the Prince's Mansion train her. I will take her away now."
When Liao Yunfei heard this, she was so moved that tears filled her eyes.
"Since it is the order of the Empress Dowager, I will not keep her any longer and will hand her over to the Imperial Concubine for further training. However, I have something to remind the Imperial Concubine."
"What?"
"She is devotedly in love with the Crown Prince. Between him and the Imperial Concubine, who will she choose in the end?" The Queen said.
Liao Yunfei's face instantly lost all color and she looked at Concubine Luo nervously.
Concubine Luo smiled and said, "Thank you, Queen, for your reminder. I will take my leave now."
Liao Yunfei limped along beside the imperial concubine's sedan chair.
The queen's words were too destructive to her! She didn't know what Concubine Luo was thinking at the moment, but she always felt uneasy.
"Your Majesty, I am absolutely loyal to you!" Liao Yunfei could only express her true feelings to dispel Concubine Luo's suspicion.
"Are you loyal to me, or to the prince? Liao Yunfei, you have to know that I and the prince are irreconcilable!"
"Of course I am loyal to the Imperial Concubine. The Prince has no interest in me and even hates me. I know what to choose. Only by following the Imperial Concubine can I have a bright future!" Liao Yunfei said hurriedly.
"I'm glad you understand this." Concubine Luo nodded with a smile, seeming very satisfied with Liao Yunfei's answer.
Liao Yunfei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had gotten away with it.
How could she really surrender to Concubine Luo?
If this happens, there will be no possibility for her and the prince to be together forever!
She also wanted to use Concubine Luo. After becoming the prince's concubine, Concubine Luo would no longer be able to control her.
Concubine Luo brought Liao Yunfei to her palace. Instead of asking her to continue learning the rules, she arranged a place for her to live and sent for a royal physician to treat Liao Yunfei's leg injury.
Liao Yunfei was just feeling that he had finally escaped and was secretly rejoicing.
Concubine Luo summoned her.
She walked into the hall and bowed to Concubine Luo.
There was a bowl of medicine in front of Concubine Luo.
Liao Yunfei was a little surprised. Didn't she drink a bowl of medicine just now? Why was there another bowl?
"Liao Yunfei, this bowl of medicine is prepared for you. As long as you drink it, you will never get pregnant with the prince's child in this lifetime. Without a child, you can stop all your thoughts and be loyal to me wholeheartedly."
A look of fear suddenly appeared on Liao Yunfei's face, and she shook her head in panic.
"What? You don't dare to drink it? If you don't drink this bowl of medicine, it doesn't prove your loyalty to me. It means that you are still fooling me!"
"No, Your Majesty! How dare I fool Your Majesty? I... I just don't want to lose the qualification of being a mother. Please show mercy to me and don't make me infertile." After Liao Yunfei finished speaking, she kowtowed continuously.
