Chapter 882: The alliance, plotting
Although the Hanfang Palace was located in a remote place, close to the place where the palace maids and eunuchs live, the people living in it were the emperor's women. Even though these women were the emperor's unwanted women, they were still the emperor's women.
Even if he doesn't want the emperor's woman, no one else can get close to her place!
Xiao Tianyao, a man, stayed in the residence of the concubine in the harem for an hour and even sent heavy guards to prevent anyone from entering.
Of course, it was far-fetched to say anything. According to Prince Xiao’s current power, there was no woman he can't get. As for taking this risk?
But Imperial Concubine Zhou didn't care, she firmly believed that there was a problem. No matter what Xiao Zian said, she would not waver and insist on going in to find out.
"I'm not reconciled if I don't know what Xiao Tianyao is doing in Hanfang Palace!" This is the reason for Imperial Concubine Zhou.
Faced with Imperial Concubine Zhou who was stubborn and refused to listen to persuasion, Xiao Zian was physically and mentally exhausted. At the same time, he also understood that a woman like his mother concubine can only share the wealth and not share adversity. Because she cannot bear the pressure of sharing adversity.
Just like today, without the favor of the Emperor and the protection of the Zhou Family, his mother lost her reason and lost her former style.
There was no way to communicate with a lunatic, so Xiao Zian doesn't want to communicate with Imperial Concubine Zhou. If Imperial Concubine Zhou doesn't listen to persuasion, then he can only force Imperial Concubine Zhou not to go out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXiao Zian imitated Xiao Tianyao and asked someone to bring a chair and sit at the gate of Imperial Concubine Zhou's palace, preventing her from going out.
"You, you, you… Get out of the way!" Imperial Concubine Zhou was very angry. Xiao Zian was unmoved, holding the scroll in his hand, and read it without distraction.
"Zian, did you hear me when I told you to get out of the way?" Imperial Concubine Zhou was even more dissatisfied when she didn't get a response, and her tone became more and more harsh.
"Mother Concubine, if you want to leave the palace, you must step over my dead body." Xiao Zian didn't raise his head, his slender fingers slid across the pages of the book, and turned a page casually.
"Zian, are you threatening your mother's concubine?" Imperial Concubine Zhou was trembling with anger. And at this time, Xiao Zian didn't answer.
Imperial Concubine Zhou, who didn't get a response, was even angrier, pointing at the servants and saying: "You… take the Third Prince down."
"Mother Concubine, what you want to do is to push your son to be superior. If your son is abolished or dead, is there any point in your fight?" Xiao Zian looked at Imperial Concubine Zhou, his warm eyes were full of tiredness.
He always thought that his mother was a person who was indifferent to fame and wealth. He always thought that his mother loved him, otherwise, she would give birth to more children, but it was all an illusion.
His mother loved him, but his mother loved power even more. His mother's love for him was not pure. If it was possible to give birth, and if the Emperor didn't like him, his mother will not like him too.
The disappointment was inevitable, sadness was inevitable, but this woman was his mother, who now has gray hairs for taking care of him all these years. Her kindness to him was there, and he can't just ignore her coldly.
Imperial Concubine Zhou didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Zian's threats, but seeing the exhaustion and disappointment in Xiao Zian's eyes, she was inexplicably uneasy: "Zian, what do you mean by that?"
"The concubine mother has forgotten who saved my life?" Xiao Zian looked up at Imperial Concubine Zhou, and the hand holding the scroll couldn't help but increase his strength.
The last thing he wanted was to be an enemy of his Imperial Uncle Xiao, but his mother kept persuading him, and she was repeatedly used by others.
"Your life was saved by Lin Chujiu, what does it have to do with Xiao Tianyao?" Of course, Imperial Concubine Zhou understood what Xiao Zian was talking about, but she didn't admit it.
"At that time, she was Princess Xiao. Do you think she would save me without Uncle Imperial Xiao's consent?" His Imperial Uncle Xiao knew that he would be an opponent after he was cured, but he still chose to save him.
"I also reciprocated her. The Empress made things difficult for her several times, and I dealt with her for her. Even Xiao Tianyao took action against the Zhou family this time, I endured it!" Imperial Concubine Zhou thought she had done enough.
"Mother Concubine, why are you deceiving yourself and others? As long as she is Princess Xiao, the Empress will not dare to touch her. As for the Zhou family? What can you do if you can't bear it? Do you have the strength to compete with Prince Xiao?" Xiao Zian felt very tired. The things outside were enough to worry him, but his mother was still dragging him down.
"Mother Concubine, are you the only one who received the news that Imperial Uncle Xiao is in Hanfang Palace? Mother Concubine, the entire inner court is under the control of the Empress. The Empress already knew about it before you do, but why she doesn't take action?"
"Why?" When mentioning the Empress, Imperial Concubine Zhou calmed down a lot.
Her greatest enemy in this life was the Empress, and she cannot behave worse than the Empress.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Because the Empress knew that you would make an appearance, so she didn't show up. She only sent a few people to watch and then followed you to take advantage of it." However, his mother was complacent and thought that she dragged the Empress into the water, but they didn't know that the Empress was willing to jump into the water.
"What can she gain from it? Can't you tell when you see Xiao Tianyao? The cooperation between Xiao Tianyao and the Empress is very fragile. It will break if you touch it lightly. This is an opportunity, we can't let it go." Imperial Concubine Zhou believed that she acted thoroughly, and taking this matter would not only add chaos to Xiao Tianyao but also break the alliance between Xiao Tianyao and the Empress.
If it wasn't for this, she wouldn't have to break into Hanfang Palace.
"Mother Concubine, do you think that the alliance between the Empress and Uncle Xiao is still there? Their alliance has broken down long ago, it's just they didn't tell the outside world." Because they all need to act under the cover of each other, everyone tacitly kept silent.
He could see this clearly because he regarded himself as an outsider and never thought of fighting for the throne.
"You're saying that… this, this is impossible. They joined forces to attack the Zhou family not long ago." Imperial Concubine Zhou retreated repeatedly, unwilling to believe Xiao Zian's words.
"Concubine Mother, I don't need to lie to you. I beg you, don't meddle in this matter. As for what Imperial Uncle Xiao is doing in Hanfang Palace? You don't have to worry about this. The Empress is more impatient than you, so you don't need to come out. She will find someone else to come forward." To dispel Imperial Concubine Zhou's thoughts, Xiao Zian had no choice but to speak up these words.
He has no other way. If he doesn't speak these words, his mother can't understand it at all, and will not listen to it.
"Is this true?" Although Imperial Concubine Zhou was still skeptical, she was not as stubborn as before. Seeing Imperial Concubine Zhou let go, Xiao Zian secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Mother Concubine, you believe me, just wait a moment, the Empress will think about it. She will find a way to send me away, and then send someone to discuss with you about joining forces. At that time, no matter what the Empress’s people say, you just agree, but if you are asked to do something, you must not act, especially not yourself!"
To put it simply, if it was just talking, then just talk, but if it was taking action, she should completely ignore it.
The Empress better pray that she doesn't want to plot against their mother and child, otherwise don't blame them for turning a blind eye… …
