Chapter 747 The Queen Wants Someone
"It would be better to leave this kind of work to the servants."
As the queen spoke, she snatched the vase from her hand and ordered the guard: "Didn't you see your queen was going to move the vase? What are you still standing there for?"
King Nan Xiao: "..."
That’s right, the guard the queen called was him.
He finally moved the desk from Concubine Li's room to the corner.
Just as he was about to take a break to catch his breath, he heard the queen order him to move the vase.
King Nan Xiao was extremely angry, but after receiving a warning look from Concubine Li, he suppressed his anger.
Who asked him to volunteer to help Concubine Li move the desk?
Originally, the desk didn't need to be moved at all.
But if he didn't find something to do in Concubine Li's room, how could he hide it from the Queen's eyes?
Thinking of this, King Nan Xiao could only come over and move the vases without complaint.
The Queen glanced at Prince Nan Xiao, smiled slightly and said, "This guard of Concubine Li looks very unfamiliar to me. I wonder who sent him here from?"
Concubine Li's heart trembled, and she quickly said, "To answer the Queen, he just came recently, it's normal for you to feel unfamiliar with him."
The Queen saw that Concubine Li looked nervous, so she smiled and said, "Really? The newcomer is valued by Concubine Li, so I guess he must have some outstanding qualities."
"I think he's quite strong. It just so happens that Shuiyue Palace is paving the road recently and they don't have enough manpower. They are still short of a guard to move the stone slabs. This is giving me a headache."
"I wonder if Sister Li Fei is willing to bear the pain and give this guard to me, and let him go to Shuiyue Palace to help move the stone slabs?"
Concubine Li: "..."
Concubine Li: "!!!"
She thought that the queen was really crazy. How dare she let Prince Nan Xiao move the stone slabs?
That kind of ordinary stone slab weighs two or three hundred pounds each. Is King Nan Xiao someone who can do such rough work?
Concubine Li thought about this and said quickly: "Empress, it's not that I don't want to, but this guard was given to me by the emperor, and I can't decide his stay or departure without permission."
When King Nan Xiao heard what Concubine Li said, he felt relieved. Fortunately, she did not agree to the Queen's request right away.
He entered the palace secretly. What would happen if he was discovered?
The queen said with regret: "That's such a pity."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Concubine Li's lips curled up into a smile, which gave her a feeling of a villain having succeeded.
The Queen didn't like the sight of Concubine Li's evil plan succeeding, and she knew there must be something wrong with this guard.
So he thought for a moment and changed his words: "Since Sister Li Fei said that she couldn't arrange for him to go or stay, then I will go to the emperor and ask for him to come over. Is that feasible?"
After these words were spoken, Concubine Li felt as if the sky had fallen.
She thought the queen had always been a reasonable person, so why did she seem like a different person today and so difficult to deal with?
How could Concubine Li let the Queen go to Emperor Jingyang? This was related to the safety of her and Prince Nan Xiao. She quickly said:
"Your Majesty, this guard is meticulous and efficient in his work. He is a rare talent. My Weiyang Palace is in need of such a person. I am afraid I cannot give him to Your Majesty."
"There are still many guards outside. Your Majesty, why don't you pick another one? I will give her to you. What do you think?"
The Queen looked at Concubine Li and vaguely saw anxiety and panic in her eyes.
She sneered in her heart, isn't this Concubine Li feeling guilty like a thief?
When the secret guard came to inform the queen just now, she felt that this guard was most likely Prince Nan Xiao in disguise.
Now judging from Concubine Li’s reaction, I’m afraid it’s almost certain.
At this time, the more Concubine Li protected Prince Nan Xiao, the more the Queen would not let her succeed.
These two people were in cahoots with each other. If it were her son, he would have harmed Luo Junhe so badly. How could she let them go so easily?
As long as the relationship has not completely fallen out, psychological torture is also a form of torture.
The queen just wanted to see them collapse and feel helpless to relieve her hatred.
Even so, she still didn't show it on her face, with a faint smile.
The queen stood up, walked in front of King Nan Xiao, and walked around him.
She commented: "This guard has a good appearance. I think he looks a bit like the Fourth Emperor's uncle. Isn't that what Sister Li Fei thinks?"
The Fourth Uncle refers to Prince Nan Xiao. Concubine Li was shocked when she heard that.
If she hadn't seen the queen's calm expression, she would have suspected that she knew something.
Concubine Li forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, you are joking. I haven't seen Prince Nan Xiao for 23 years since he resigned from office. How can I remember what he looks like?"
Having said that, Concubine Li cursed the Queen thousands of times in her heart.
This guard's appearance is at best decent, how can he be compared with King Nan Xiao?
She didn't know what the queen meant by suddenly mentioning Prince Nan Xiao.
But at this moment, King Nan Xiao did not reveal any flaws, so she naturally had to stay calm.
When the queen heard this, she turned to look at Concubine Li and sighed softly.
"It turns out that Fourth Uncle has resigned from office for twenty-three years. Time flies."
Concubine Li responded: "Who said it wasn't true? Prince Nan Xiao never attended any palace banquets. I don't know how he is doing now."
The Queen raised her eyebrows slightly and said to Concubine Li: "Sister Concubine Li seems to care a lot about the Fourth Uncle. If the Emperor knew, he would probably be jealous again."
Before Concubine Li could respond, a deep male voice sounded from outside.
"Who am I jealous of?"
A bright yellow figure walked in from outside. Who else could it be but Emperor Jingyang?
He had a bright smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.
Upon seeing this, the Queen and Concubine Li hurriedly knelt down and saluted Emperor Jingyang.
"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity."
Emperor Jingyang waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to be polite. I wonder what the two concubines were talking about just now?"
"I seem to have heard your conversation in the boudoir. I wonder if I can come in and listen?"
Emperor Jingyang just learned from Eunuch Zhang that the Queen brought a lot of expensive supplements to the Weiyang Palace.
Naturally, he was extremely happy.
After all, Concubine Li was pregnant with his own flesh and blood.
The Queen had been resentful of him for some time because of the incident with Tutor Su, and she even failed to manage the harem properly.
Emperor Jingyang felt very troubled. The beauties in the harem quarreled every day and ran to the imperial study to ask him for help.
Emperor Jingyang knew that what he did to Tutor Su was wrong, but he was too embarrassed to apologize to the Queen.
I originally thought that the Queen would continue to be angry, but unexpectedly she took the initiative to come to Concubine Li.
