The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks [Complete] (93)

He looked at the other person in shock, and a gurgling sound came out of his throat. The other person's hand covered his mouth tightly, and clamped him with his legs, making him unable to move.

"You know too much!"

Chapter 74

Hu Concubine was stiff all over, and it took a long time for her to push Feng Heizi away.

She almost fell when she got off the bed. A coldness slid down her legs. She wiped it casually with a handkerchief in disgust and put on her clothes.

She didn't dare to delay any more and went to the side room to call for someone. Although there were three women with a baby, it was enough to get Feng Heizi on the mule cart and take him away.

The driver had been sent away long ago, leaving only the cart, which was for the consideration of returning to the city. Taohong said that she had driven a donkey cart at home when she was a child, and she didn't expect that she could drive a mule cart in a good way.

Halfway through, passing a steep cliff, Hu Concubine and Taohong worked together to throw Feng Heizi down. Even if someone finds out in the future, they are not afraid. Not to mention that Concubine Hu had ruined Feng Heizi's face in the carriage before, if they were thrown in such a remote place, they would have rotted long ago if they were found.

Tao Shan sat beside her, trembling with fear, but she didn't even dare to cry. Because Concubine Hu's expression at this time was too terrible, with a kind of ruthlessness that was almost at the end of the road. Tao Hong, on the other hand, was a little pale, but she was quite calm.

The three drove away in a hurry, and did not notice that several people came to the place where they had just stopped. These people got off the horse and went down the cliff.

After returning to the city, the three went their separate ways. Tao Shan took the child to hire a car to go back to the village, while Concubine Hu and Tao Hong returned to the palace.

Except for her pale face, she was no different from usual.

However, Concubine Hu had a nightmare again at night, and she slept restlessly all night.

On the other hand, Yao Niang would go to Chaohui Hall every day, and leave after serving Prince Jin. Even if Fucheng asked her to stay, she would not listen and would rather run back and forth.

Turning his head to look at the dark-faced prince, Fucheng didn't know what to say.

The prince was clearly awake, but he had to pretend to be unconscious, just to tease him. Fortunately, Mrs. Su was a shallow-minded person, otherwise she might have run away long ago.

That day, Concubine Hu suddenly came to Rongxiyuan.

She was smiling so rarely that Yao Niang was alert in her heart, but it was not easy to drive her away if she was smiling. What's more, she was a concubine and the other party was a concubine. Logically, she should be respectful.

But she couldn't smile even if she was asked to smile. She had not forgotten how Concubine Hu treated her before, not to mention that the two had a grudge in their previous life.

In the past, Yao Niang wanted to stay in the palace, so she was concerned about the face of both parties. Now that she is in danger, she may leave at any time, so she is too lazy to act like this.

But in the eyes of Concubine Hu, the other party took advantage of the favor of King Jin and did not take her seriously.

Concubine Hu hated her even more, but she was calm and talked to Yao Niang.

As she talked, she talked about the previous incident, and naturally stepped on Concubine Xu, showing that she was also deceived. Now that she knows that someone deliberately made trouble, she feels guilty for hurting others with bad words that day, so she came here to apologize.

Concubine Hu has never been a person who is willing to be humble, Yao Niang can't help but be suspicious, but she can't ask people what their intentions are, so she can only be careful.

Concubine Hu didn't do anything else to arouse suspicion, and she still smiled warmly, and took out a lot of clothes and toys for babies, saying that they were for Xiaobao. After that, she went to see Xiaobao with Yao Niang's company before saying goodbye and leaving.

After Concubine Hu left, Yao Niang thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what her purpose was. Knowing that she was not smart, she asked Yu Chan who had been accompanying her.

Yu Chan pondered for a moment and said, "Concubine Hu probably knows that His Highness loves Madam in his heart, and this is to take the initiative to show you goodwill."

Maybe, it's true?

But love...

Concubine Hu's hands under her sleeves couldn't stop shaking.

I really hate myself for being blind before and not noticing that kid. Now I look at that child with something in my mind. The outline and facial features are very similar to those of Prince Jin, especially the eyes, which are exactly the same.

She couldn't help but think of what she had said before, mocking that kid as a bastard. It's not the child who is a bastard, but her little princess.

No, her little princess is not a bastard! As long as that child is gone, she is not!

Concubine Hu's face flashed with ruthlessness, and the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed. Tao Hong, who was following her, flashed her eyes and didn't speak.

For the whole afternoon, Concubine Hu looked thoughtful.

Taohong hesitated and said nothing.

Concubine Hu looked at her: "Did you hear what happened that day?"

Taohong shook her head first, then hesitated, and finally nodded when she couldn't hold on any longer.

In fact, how could she not hear it? Feng Heizi was a big man, and Concubine Hu was just a weak woman. If something really happened, it was unclear who would kill whom, so Taohong had been guarding outside the door.

"Madam, spare me, I will never tell anyone." Taohong's face turned pale, and she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Concubine Hu helped her up: "I believe you are loyal to me, otherwise I would not have taken you there that day. But--" She changed her tone and said: "You and I share the same fate, and you are loyal to me, so I will naturally treat you well. But you also know that my mother and I are in danger now. I didn't mean to make a mistake, but the heavens really played tricks on me. How could such a coincidence happen?"

As she spoke, she began to sob: "If this matter is known to others... someone will definitely know it. I went to see that little kid today, and he looked surprisingly similar to His Highness. Those people were so blind that they didn't notice it. On the contrary, it was really Hiding like a bastard so that no one can see you.”

"What should we do?" Taohong also looked worried and sad.

Concubine Hu used the veil to cover her eyes and glanced at her: "If people really find out that the little princess is a fake, then not only me, but you, as my personal maid, will definitely not be able to escape, and you will definitely be silenced." Son, trying to confuse the royal bloodline is a grave crime against the nine clans."

Taohong was so frightened that she trembled all over and kept murmuring: "Mother, what should I do? You have to think of a way."

"There is nothing I can do." Concubine Hu sighed. After thinking hard for a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "For the current plan, the only way is to strike first."

Taohong's face was full of shock, but after the threats just now, she didn't seem to find it so difficult to accept it.

She seemed to be angry, and even though her face was pale with fear, she still said: "My Majesty, please tell me what to do. I will listen to you."

"I figured I would give some medicine or something, and take care of the older ones and the younger ones together. Since Rongxi Courtyard has a small kitchen, it is not easy to do it. Especially the atmosphere in the mansion has not been right recently, and there are more people. , I'm afraid something will happen if you start hastily..." Concubine Hu frowned and thought, obviously really considering the feasibility of this matter.

Taohong hurriedly advised: "My dear, please don't even think about it. Not to mention whether the poison is easy to obtain, just how to use it is a headache, and there are too many people handling it, so it may explode. dew."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"Isn't the root of the problem the child? Anyway, Mrs. Su doesn't know that the person who killed her back then was His Highness, and His Highness doesn't know that Mrs. Su was the person back then. We might as well steal the child out, or sell it or It was thrown away, and such a young child would not remember anything. As for Mrs. Su, she is nothing without the child, and no one will find out about it. "

Concubine Hu's eyes were filled with strange lights, but she still hesitated: "Is this possible?"

"The child is small, and his goal is small. He just puts it in any box and takes it out. The girl who is waiting for the child is called Axia. She has a good relationship with a little girl from the same country. With some fruits and flowers, she can put that child away. If the little girl is lured away, even if she is really exposed, the worst case scenario is that she will be taken away to play with the child, and no one will be able to fault her. "

Concubine Hu was probably ill and sought medical treatment, but she actually believed Taohong's words.

After that, Taohong said she would go find the little sister from her hometown and gave her a handful of silver coins to give her as a reward.

Xiaobao has not been in good spirits these days and is always feeling sleepy.

In the past, A-Xia would always make him laugh, or take him out to play, but these days, A-Xia didn't know what was on her mind, and she seemed very worried. The laughter and laughter of the past are no longer seen here in the west wing, and Chun'er and Nanny He are also silent.

"If you don't take the young master out to play today, it's okay to be so bored all the time." Nanny He said.

Although He is the wet nurse, because of the unusual relationship between A Xia and Yao Niang, A Xia is the main one in the west wing.

Axia also realized that she had been a little neglected these past few days. She glanced at Xiaobao who was crawling there listlessly, cheered up and walked over. She put on a big smile and asked: "Young master, can I take you to see the fish?"

Of course Xiaobao couldn't answer her, so Axia asked Chun'er to help pack her things and took Xiaobao out.

There is a small garden next to Rongxi Courtyard. It is not big, but the scenery is good. There is also a pond of koi carp.

In fact, the scenery in Rongxi Courtyard is not bad, but Xiaobao's identity is unusual. He is the son of the man before Yao Niang. Although the King of Jin tacitly allowed him to be raised by Yao Niang's side, there was always a thorn in the side. He might not know when the King of Jin would come and bump into him. Therefore, A-Xia usually took the little treasure out to play, never in the Rongxi Courtyard. I will come to this small garden.

In fact, Yao Niang had no idea about this, it was just A Xia's own interpretation.

Xiaobao finds this Axia quite amusing. On weekdays, he sees her innocent and chirping, but sometimes when he sees her behaving in certain ways, it doesn't seem like she has this kind of personality.

Of course, this was what he had thought before. After arriving at Rongxi Courtyard, he had some subtle feelings because she always kept him hidden from people, intentionally or unintentionally. Especially since the day it was revealed that he was actually a nanny, A-Xia didn't like to let him go out. Sometimes Nanny He or Chun'er wanted to take him out, but she would always stop him.
