Chapter 53 Acting
Cui Xiu's eyes were firm, as if he could see the future situation. Li Qun had never believed in snake gods, but now he was frightened by Cui Xiu's words.
Although Cui Xiu couldn't see it completely, she could still see an outline. But even so, she couldn't reveal the secret, otherwise she would be killed.
But it’s okay to reveal a little bit to whet others’ appetites.
“By the way, Sister Yun doesn’t know about this yet.”
Cui Xiu suddenly remembered that she had not taken time to talk to Sister Yun about these things after giving birth. She had been busy with things recently and had forgotten about them all at once.
She had an issue with Sister Yun about raising the sixth prince. She had also made arrangements for the emperor to go to Sister Yun's palace that day. Concubine Chun's illness was something she didn't expect. She had already thought of a countermeasure. .
The emperor was asked to give the custody rights to Sister Yun, but before this countermeasure was used, Concubine Chun herself fell ill first.
This is a good time. There is really no place to look for after wearing iron shoes. It takes no effort at all.
Li Qun responded: "Don't worry, Madam, I won't reveal my fault."
Listening to Cui Xiu's words, Li Qun thought Cui Xiu didn't want to tell Concubine Yun that the children had been exchanged.
Concubine Yun is Li Qun’s eldest sister. Both of them were born to Mrs. Xu, the Duke of Guo. Mrs. Guo Guo left early, so Concubine Yun took more care of Li Qun and took up the responsibility early. A steward’s burden.
Later, the old Duke married Xu Xian, and Concubine Yun Gui married into the prince's mansion, and then the Duke Xu's mansion was handed over to others.
In today's Xu Guogong Mansion, there is no one who can sit and talk with Li Qun.
“I, I didn’t mean that.”
"I didn't want to hide it from Sister Yun. It's just that things have been complicated recently and I forgot to tell you."
Cui Xiu was afraid that Li Qun would misunderstand, so he explained a few words. Since she could tell the Sixth Prince When it comes to Sister Yun, it means that Sister Yun is their ally by default.
When Li Qun heard Cui Xiu’s explanation, he nodded. The expression on his face did not change, and he calmly analyzed: "I think it is better to hide it for the time being."
" If the eldest sister knew that the child was yours, she would be particularly concerned about it.”
“On the contrary, it would make people suspicious.”
As soon as Li Qun said this, Cui Xiu averted his eyes and looked at the table, thinking to himself that Li Qun's words did make some sense.
Now Sister Yun still thinks that the child belongs to Ning Bin. Although she doesn’t think much of Ning Bin, she will never treat the child badly.
But she won't be so affectionate towards her children, at best she will show affection.
In this way, outsiders will not be suspicious, but will the Sixth Prince be delayed because of this? This is something Cui Xiu needs to consider.
Looking at the current situation, there are hidden mysteries in every aspect, which is really a headache.
"Xu Guogong's consideration is indeed reasonable."
Cui Xiu replied first, and then slowly thought about how to do it in order to hide it from everyone and prevent the child from being delayed. .
Cui Xiu thought, and heaved a sigh of relief. It’s difficult, it’s really difficult.
It requires Sister Yun to know that the child is hers, but also to prevent Sister Yun from showing extra concern for the child. This requires strong acting skills and a sense of belief.
Cui Xiu thought that Sister Yun had always been upright, could she do this acting thing?
"Li Qun, I have a question."
Cui Xiu thought, she didn't know Sister Yun very well, but someone who knew Sister Yun was standing in front of her now, so she could ask ah.
When Li Qun heard Cui Xiu's words, he nodded, raised his hand and said, "Speak directly, Madam."
"Um, what do you think of Sister Yun's acting skills?" Cui Xiu thought for a moment and asked in an expression that he thought was relatively easy to understand.
Listening to Cui Xiu's words, Li Qun raised his eyebrows slowly, glanced at Cui Xiu, and then lowered his eyes with thoughtfulness.
"The eldest sister has always had a correct style and never bothered to act superficially." "I always speak directly when I have something to say, and whatever is on my mind is reflected on my face."
"As for acting skills,"
Li Qun said, curling the corners of his lips and continuing to look at Cui Xiu, which seemed a bit certain.
“Minimal.”
Cui Xiu listened to Li Qun's words. What he meant was that Sister Yun was not good at acting and she liked to express all her emotions on her face. Why did this description sound so familiar?
Cui Xiu thought she had heard it somewhere, but she saw that Sister Yun’s acting skills were not as bad as Li Qun said.
For example, when Your Majesty went to Sister Yun, she heard what Chunfeng said, and Chunfeng listened to what the eldest maid in Sister Yun’s palace said. That day, the emperor believed deeply in Sister Yun.
It seems that although Sister Yun knows that the matter is not that simple, she can still act like it has nothing to do with her.
This shows that Sister Yun still has some acting skills.
"Li Qun, you are commenting on Sister Yun's acting skills like this."
"Do you think she would beat you up if she knew about it?"
Cui Xiuben was thinking about Li Qun and Yun The concubine is a biological sibling, so she naturally knows more about her than she does. But on this issue, she overestimated Li Qun's understanding of Concubine Yun.
But this is normal. Concubine Yun Gui married into the palace and could only meet Li Qun a handful of times throughout the year. It is understandable that he has a biased understanding of Concubine Yun.
Concubine Yun Gui is the eldest sister, and she must have suppressed Li Qun to some extent. But when Li Qun heard this, his expression did not change at all.
It seems that he is not cold to Cui Xiu's words, nor is he afraid.
"It doesn't matter, your Majesty can tell the eldest sister."
"I'm just telling the truth."
"It's up to your Majesty to decide whether you believe it or not."
>Li Qun could hear the joke in Cui Xiu's words, but he did not go along with the scene Cui Xiu wanted to see. He did the opposite, which made Cui Xiu feel a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Okay, I really can't get any advantage from Duke Xu."
Seeing that Li Qun didn't want to do this, Cui Xiu thought that it would be a good idea to break the pot. Okay, let's stop playing. Get on with the business.
"It's up to you to not tell Sister Yun for the time being."
"You and I will lay the groundwork in front of her first, and then we will tell her when the child is older and the situation is more stable. Right.”
This matter is not simple after all, so it’s better to be cautious.
Cui Xiu and Li Qun had almost finished talking and drank the tea. They did not stay any longer and left the room each.
Cui Xiu hurried back to her brothers and sisters. It took a little longer to come out. I wonder if they came out to find her.
She had to go back quickly to avoid anything happening.
As soon as Cui Xiu entered the door, he smelled the strong smell of alcohol. When he looked up again, he saw three people lying on the table, looking drunk.
Cui Xiu's eyes narrowed subconsciously, thinking, how long has she been out, why is she so drunk?
On Li Qun's side, as soon as he came out, two boys came out, one was taller and thinner, the other shorter and fatter, and then followed Li Qun walking on the road.
"Lord, we have been brought over." The shorter and fatter boy said.
