Concubine's poisonous plot

Chapter 144: Reasonably embarrassing you

It has to be said that Concubine Tian Fang has been in the palace for so many years, and her methods of controlling King An are simple and accurate.

King An immediately thought about a lot. Concubine Cui and Xiao Jinyao had colluded together. What did they want to do?

Did Concubine Cui know about this matter from beginning to end?

She looked at how busy she was every day, helping Tian Dekun and helping the Tian family gain chips. Did she laugh behind her back that she had done useless work?

Just now, Xiao Jinyao and Shu Yunzhao said they wanted to congratulate her when they got back. Did they get together to watch their own jokes?

The more he thought about this, the more uncomfortable and even angry he became.

"I remembered that there are still things in the palace, so I will go back first. Fan'er and Yunxiu can stay here."

After saying that, King An took Concubine Tian and left the Su family.

Seeing their hurried away figures, Mrs. Wang admired Tian Bifei's methods. With just a few words, she was afraid that the joy brought by the promotion of Tian Bifei's brother would become her disaster.

"No one expected that this matter would turn out like this, but it does not affect the relationship between us. Today we are gathered here. We cannot give up just because of a momentary frustration. I have lived so many years. , I’m used to seeing a lot of things that have been decided, turn around at the critical moment, but whoever laughs to the end is the real winner.”

Mrs. Wang's words brought back the atmosphere.

None of the people present were the type to give up easily, so they quickly cheered up.

Since they have a common enemy, they naturally use the same goal.

The brothers of the Su family were worried when they saw Su Yunxiu being so depressed, fearing that her low mood would affect their children.

"Seventh sister, this matter is not a sure thing in the first place, and he is just the Minister of the Ministry of War. Compared with the girl of the Lu family who will marry her eldest brother in the future, it is still inferior to the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, who is in charge of the emperor's money bag... "

Su Wu comforted him awkwardly, and his dissatisfaction with Shu Yunzhao became even stronger.

He could never forget the humiliation Shu Yunzhao had given him before.

Today he knew that Shu Yunzhao was coming, so he tried to pretend not to see him.

As a result, he still couldn't help but want to see if Shu Yunzhao was looking at him proudly.

In the end, he discovered that he was the clown. Shu Yunzhao never took him seriously from beginning to end, and was always dealing with the elders.

Wang Ruyi looked at Su Yunxiu's depressed look and thought of what Shu Yunzhao said to her before leaving. She felt upset for no reason, so she swallowed the words of comfort that were already on her lips.

Su Yuan also said: "Seventh sister, didn't you hear what grandma said? Whoever laughs last is the winner. Now let her be proud for a while. You don't have to worry about other things. You can rest assured. Give birth to my little nephew, and I will help you teach him how to read and write, and maybe he can become a top talent in the future..."

Su Yunxiu laughed, and her clouded face looked like it was dawning after the rain.

"Second brother, is it true?"

"Of course it's true. When did my second brother lie to you?"

The gathering at the Su family really turned into a mere gathering, without any celebration or warm-up atmosphere.

King An returned to the palace angrily and rushed towards Concubine Cui's yard.

Tian Fangfei symbolically stopped him, but of course she couldn't stop him, so she let him pass and returned to the courtyard first.

She also needs to adjust her mentality on this matter.

When they heard that King An was back, Concubine Cui, Xiao Jinyao and Shu Yunzhao who were talking in the courtyard were not surprised. This was what they had said at the beginning when they came to congratulate them. The father was probably coming back soon, and The troops will be summoned to investigate.

"Why did my father come back so soon? Did the matter over there end so soon? Didn't Concubine Tian Fang come back with you?" Xiao Jinyao asked.

Shu Yunzhao also said directly: "Father, did you come back empty-handed?"

King An was choked back just as he was about to raise an army to question the crime.

"You guys go out first, I have something to tell Lijuan."

Concubine Cui has been watching quietly without any panic.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask why my brother was chosen as Minister of War this time instead of Mr. Tian?"

Concubine Cui opened her mouth and asked An Wang to prepare the words before swallowing them back.

Xiao Jinyao and Shu Yunzhao hadn't left yet, so she spoke in such a hurry. Was this because she felt guilty, or did she want her accomplice to be a witness?

King An thought to himself, it just so happens that since I have a lot to say, I have to ask them both.

"When did you go to ask for the imperial sister?" King An spoke.

Concubine Cui said directly: "Your Majesty, I admit that the person who recommended my brother is indeed the eldest princess, but we have not mentioned it to the eldest princess... Not to mention these years, I have never interacted with the eldest princess, but they have always been How can the prince, whom the eldest princess looks at differently, influence the eldest princess? The prince should know the eldest princess's character better than we do. After all, they grew up together. The eldest princess just mentioned to the emperor that the person who made the final decision was, It’s still the Emperor. I believe that the Emperor was considering more than just my brother as the candidate. Why did I choose my brother in the end? Shouldn’t I ask the Emperor about this?”

King An felt like he was a fool, but fortunately he didn't come in, throw things and lose his temper, and then asked random questions.

"What I'm saying is that I still know the character of the imperial sister. If she doesn't take the initiative to help, it will be useless for others to ask her."

Concubine Cui continued: "Perhaps the eldest princess also knows something else, so she pays attention to her brother."

King An asked: "What's the matter?"

"Some time ago, at the border where Chang Feng was located, the soldiers had not received their military pay for a long time, and the people were a little distracted. Chang Feng did not dare to make any decisions, so he wrote a document and submitted it. At that time, there was a vacancy in the Ministry of War, so the two ministers took care of it. It was not that far away, so there was no reply for a long time, so Changfeng asked his brother. The Gyeonggi Army led by his brother was also under the Ministry of War, but the military salary was paid separately. His brother lent some salary money to Changfeng. After someone finally handled Feng's paperwork, the salary was returned to my brother."

After hearing this, King An felt a little uncomfortable. What he was thinking about was not how much his son had suffered outside, but that when he had difficulties, he didn't go to him immediately, but to his uncle...

"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked anyway.

Cui Concubine replied calmly: "I told the prince, didn't the prince want him to come back? He promised the prince that he would only come back if he had achieved results, and he would not embarrass the prince."

King An lost his momentum for a moment and insisted on asking: "Then how did the emperor know?"
