If not abolished

Chapter 206: Collusion (2)

Concubine Guo asked someone to let her go, "Tell me, what bargaining chips do you have to negotiate with me?"

Wu Yingyue's hands were sore from being scratched by them, and then she followed what the system told her, saying word for word: "The Concubine should be paying close attention to Concubine Qingluan's movements, so she must have heard about Concubine Qingluan preparing dance costumes."

Concubine Guo had never taken a little palace maid seriously, but after hearing this, she looked at her straight in the eye and said, "So..."

"I'm afraid that everyone who first knew the news thought that Concubine Qingluan's target was the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet."

"Isn't it? Otherwise, why would she go to so much trouble?"

"My Lady Concubine, didn't you hear what the Crown Princess said just now? Concubines below the level of Concubine don't have to go. Who would gamble on something they have no chance of going to? Qingluan is of a low rank, and she already knew that she would have no chance at the Mid-Autumn family dinner." Wu Yingyue stated the facts.

"What Her Majesty said seems to make sense..." Lanzhi said in Concubine Guo's ear.

"Since her purpose is not the Mid-Autumn family dinner, then what is her purpose?" asked Concubine Guo.

Wu Yingyue almost rolled her eyes. This woman was always busy paying respects every day. "Didn't your Majesty hear just now? The Crown Princess said that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it would be the Crown Prince's birthday. Qingluan went to all this trouble, of course, it wasn't for the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, it was for the Crown Prince's birthday..."

This is not Concubine Guo's fault. Most of the daily greetings are nonsense, and she really doesn't listen much. Oh, so she did hear the Crown Princess talking about some performance talent or something, and she thought it was about the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet?

"So what you mean is that Qingluan wants to perform on the Crown Prince's birthday?"

"Yes, not only that, she also released a smoke bomb early and let the news out at the beginning. Are you planning to destroy her dance costume in the next few days, Madam?"

“How do you know…” Concubine Guo was shocked by what was said, but she immediately stopped talking.

"If you do this, you will fall into her trap, and she might bite you back then. Has your Majesty forgotten what happened last time? How was it such a coincidence that the Crown Princess brought His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here last time? Haven't you thought about it carefully?" Wu Yingyue mentioned the previous incident.

"Your Majesty, what she said makes sense. I felt something was fishy about what happened last time..." Lanzhi whispered in Concubine Guo's ear again.

Concubine Guo rolled her eyes at her: "That's all you can say, right? What's the use of being wise after the event? Why didn't I see you say anything when the incident happened?"

"Even if there was something wrong with what happened last time, I can also suspect that this incident is also a trap set by her? If I believed you, then I would not do anything to her, and then just watch her show up in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and show her courtesy?" Concubine Guo was not stupid. She had to believe what Wu Yingyue said, but she couldn't believe it all. Who knows if it was a trick?

"Your Majesty's suspicion is reasonable, so am I not making another deal with Your Majesty?" Seeing that she didn't believe it, Wu Yingyue continued to add chips.

"Oh? Tell me about it?" Concubine Guo suddenly became interested.

"If Your Majesty sends someone to do it, they will definitely be suspected. But if I go to help you, what do you think will happen?" Wu Yingyue had no feelings for Qingluan. Besides, there was no such thing as sisterhood in the palace. They were just taking advantage of each other.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that in the end it was you who betrayed her. Well, then tell me your conditions?" Concubine Guo didn't expect Wu Yingyue to do such a thing, but when she thought about it, they were good sisters in the past, and they were both palace maids. Now one of them has risen to a wealthy family, while she is still a palace maid. Who wouldn't be jealous? After all, the success of friends around her is even more unacceptable.

"I want the queen to take me to the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner." Wu Yingyue stated her purpose.

After hearing this, Concubine Guo became alert, "Why go to the Mid-Autumn family dinner? Do you also want to become the prince's person?" After all, such a thing has happened once, and Concubine Guo would not let it happen a second time.

Wu Yingyue shook her head. "I'm not interested in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. My target is His Royal Highness the Crown Grandson."

"What? You said your target is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... Hahaha." Concubine Guo acted as if she had heard a joke. "You know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only loves the Crown Princess. With your looks, I'm afraid it's just wishful thinking for you to eat someone else."

"Since I can say such nice things, I must have the ability. Your Majesty, just agree to it, and the rest is my business." Wu Yingyue ignored her ridicule. She was confident that she could get Zhu Zhanji to take her into the harem.

"Okay, I agree." Concubine Guo has always disliked the Crown Princess. If she really succeeds, it will also make things difficult for the Crown Princess and prevent her from saying every day that Zhu Zhanji is loyal to her.

"Then your majesty, I'll go back first." After saying that, Wu Yingyue was about to leave.

"Wait," Concubine Guo called her.

"Do you have any other instructions?"

"If you go back like this, others will definitely get suspicious. Lanzhi, I'll slap you twenty times. Otherwise, you won't be able to explain yourself when you go back. I'm doing this for your own good."

Then, there was applause.

"How should I tell Concubine Qingluan when I get back? I don't need you to teach me, right?"

"I see."

"That's good."
