On the full moon banquet for her child, the devastating news arrived that her husband had died on the battlefield. Sheng Xiyan fell into the abyss.
The prince's mansion bullied the orphan...
"Ruyi, take someone to get the imperial concubine to come to Jingren Palace. I want to see how she behaves!"
After a cup of tea, Ruyi had just entered the gate of Guanju Palace when Sheng Xiyan waved her hand and slapped her out, falling head over heels.
She was carried back to Jingren Palace by palace servants.
"My lady, something is wrong. Look, I almost fell to my death."
"I want to go and see for myself what's going on."
After a while, Queen Duan got off the phoenix sedan chair, took the hand of a palace maid, and carefully walked into the gate of Guanju Palace.
Nothing seems to be wrong.
The palace maid shouted, "The Empress is here! Why don't you tell the Imperial Concubine to come out and greet her?"
Hua Xia said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is pregnant and feeling unwell. Please bear with me."
Empress Duan was so angry that her face turned blue.
When I walked into the main hall, I saw Sheng Xiyan lazily leaning on the couch, playing with a bunch of jade grapes in her hand, too lazy to even lift her eyelids.
Empress Duan suppressed her anger and said coldly, "Noble Concubine, I asked you to go to Jingren Palace, why didn't you go?"
Sheng Xiyan rolled her eyes and said lazily, "Why should I go?"
He looked her up and down and jokingly said, "Are you worthy enough to be the Queen?"
Empress Duan was so angry that she was shaking all over: "You...you are so outrageous! I am the mistress of the six palaces, how dare you be so rude!"
Sheng Xiyan sneered: "Master of the Six Palaces? Ha, what kind of person is that?"
She moved her little hands, and Queen Duan seemed to be held down by an invisible force, and fell to her knees on the ground with a plop.
Sheng Xiyan waved her hand, "These two slaps are to teach you how to behave."
Empress Duan was beaten so hard that she felt dizzy and dazed. Before she could react, Sheng Xiyan waved her hand and slapped her out of the palace gate, causing her to fall onto the bluestone slabs in the courtyard.
What's going on? She was so scared that her hands and feet were shaking.
Several palace servants shouted, "Quick, help the Queen up."
Empress Duan stumbled onto the phoenix chariot and rushed to the Yangxin Palace, crying and complaining: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the imperial concubine has been possessed by an evil spirit! She beat me and humiliated me!"
Xuan Ling sat on the throne, put down the red pen, frowned slightly and said, "Nonsense. The imperial concubine is pregnant and in poor health. How could she possibly bully you?"
Xue Qiong was grinding ink on the side, thinking that this might be the last straw that broke the camel's back for the imperial concubine.
Originally, the love Gu would cause the infected person to fall in love with someone else, hate and stay away from the original lover, but she didn't expect there was a process.
Moreover, because Emperor Xuanwu was not as resolute as an ordinary person, the effect of the love poison was slow to take effect, resulting in her not being successfully canonized and serving as his concubine.
This process must be catalyzed in order to obtain the beautiful emperor, whom she has been coveting for a long time.
She wanted to have the emperor's body, the emperor's heart, be the most favored woman in the six palaces, and even more wanted the throne of the queen. Naturally, she also kept in mind the instructions of the King of Wusun.
Taking the opportunity to speak up, "Your Majesty, how about I accompany you to see the Imperial Concubine? If she is truly unwell, she can be treated promptly."
Xuan Ling nodded: "Alright, let's go to Guanju Palace."
