Chapter 236: Alienation from Du Qingzhi

Du Qingzhi's face changed immediately after hearing Dong Zhi's words.

This is serious!

What does the emperor mean by this? Is he...disgusted with her?

No, that's not possible...

"Eunuch Dong, please inform him again for me. I want to see the emperor! How could the emperor not like the soup I made? This was his favorite soup in the past!"

Dong Zhi was in a dilemma. "Please don't make things difficult for me, Miss Du. The Emperor is reviewing memorials right now, and I dare not disturb him. If Miss Du really has something to do, how about you come back later?"

Was the soup she made the emperor's favorite? Dong Zhi didn't believe it. The emperor would never tell anyone what his favorite soup was. He was probably just making up Miss Du's own nonsense.

Besides, even if what she said was true, that was in the past.

How many years have passed between then and now? Can it still be the same?

He didn't even have the heart to tell her that every time she brought him soup, the emperor never drank it...

Du Qingzhi cursed Dong Zhi inwardly for being so flattering and looking down on the weak. She almost couldn't help but ask him impulsively, "If it was Concubine Chen, Eunuch Dong, who came, would it be the same?"

In the end, I still had a glimmer of rationality, so I held back and didn't say it out loud.

Du Qingzhi begged again and again, and Dong Zhi smiled and patiently practiced Tai Chi with her at first, but later he found that the more he paid attention to her, the more excited she became, so he simply kept silent.

Du Qingzhi was helpless. She didn't dare to offend Dong Zhi, so she had to swallow her anger and leave for the time being.

But she won't give up.

What else can she do now except capture the emperor?

In Jingyuan Palace, because Emperor Yuan Yong was angry and put all the people in the palace under house arrest, the empress was very happy. Under the empress's intentional obstruction, Jingyuan Palace seemed to have become an isolated island in the palace, with news cut off from the inside and outside.

Du Qingzhi has been back for so many days, but no one in Jingyuan Palace knows anything about it.

The queen suddenly felt that the palace should be more lively, so she stopped isolating Jingyuan Palace and instead deliberately let the news in, adding fuel to the fire intentionally or unintentionally.

Concubine Shu was shocked.

"What!"

That bitch Du Qingzhi is back? She's been popping into the Qianyuan Palace every day for no reason? Bringing soup and reminiscing with the Emperor? She even dares to cause trouble for Concubine Chen... She's got so much confidence and self-assurance!

The Imperial Concubine Chen had already put her under so much pressure that she couldn't breathe, and now there was Du Qingzhi. Would the Emperor still remember her?

Concubine Shu complained to Nanny Xu: "Nanny said to wait, wait, wait until the emperor calms down and then plead for mercy and the matter will be over. What's going on now? It's really like there's a wolf at the front door and a tiger at the back door. How can I, this palace, ever get ahead!"

Aunt Xu felt very guilty: "My Lady..."

She didn't know that Miss Du would come back at this time.

"Your Majesty, please be patient. You still have the eldest prince. You have taught him very well recently, and the emperor will surely like him very much. As long as the emperor likes the eldest prince, your Majesty will have the opportunity to make a comeback in his presence!"

"The emperor must come to Jingyuan Palace! Can the emperor even remember Jingyuan Palace now?"

Aunt Xu choked.

"...We need to think of a solution."

Concubine Shu said, "Tell Concubine Lin to find a way to lure the Emperor to Jingyuan Palace. If she can't do it, don't blame me for being rude!"

Aunt Xu thought this was a good idea, and for now, she could only try it out. "Yes, I'll make the arrangements right away. Your Majesty, please be patient."

"snort......"

Concubine Lin received the words from Concubine Shu and felt very worried.

She was secretly happy and relieved that Concubine Shu was under house arrest. She wished that Concubine Shu would disappear and never appear again.

But I didn't expect... it hadn't been long since she'd been quiet, and she'd been pestering me again.

Ask her to find a way to get the emperor to Jingyuan Palace?

Concubine Lin almost sneered. If she had this ability, she would have found a way to lure the emperor to her Qixiang Palace long ago. Why would she wait until today?

That Imperial Concubine Chen is too weird. The Emperor only dotes on her, but she is shameless and doesn't know when to quit or leave a way out. She is rude and monopolizes the Emperor's favor.

No matter how much others hate you and make harsh remarks, what can they do? Now wisdom is watching helplessly!

Concubine Lin was worried, and Rufang and Rurui were also worried about their master.

"Your Highness, this is too much. This is not going to be easy to handle."

"Your Majesty, are you really going to help Concubine Shu?"

Lin Fei sighed softly. She didn't want to help, but she had no choice. How could they understand her difficulties?

After a long silence, Concubine Lin sneered: "If Madam Shufei really can't wait any longer, then let her have her way. Just a little movement will be good..."

It would be best if she tortured herself to death, then she would be free.

Princess Lin took advantage of the cover of night and quietly went to Jingyuan Palace.

"What are you doing here? I told you to think of a solution, not to come here! Don't even think of crying and begging for mercy. I won't buy it."

As soon as Concubine Shu saw Concubine Lin, she didn't give her a good look.

She naturally knew that this was not an easy task, but Jingyuan Palace was now constrained from top to bottom and could not move at all. Apart from forcing Concubine Lin, she had no other choice.

If we push her a little, maybe Concubine Lin will come up with an idea when she's cornered.

Concubine Lin quickly bowed, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I have no other intentions. I just have an idea, and I feel that I should meet you and talk to you face to face, so I took the risk of coming here."

Concubine Shu snorted, "Really? Tell me about it!"

Concubine Lin said very straightforwardly: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince is the emperor's eldest son after all. Even if the emperor is cold-blooded and doesn't remember old ties, he will definitely not ignore the eldest prince!"

Concubine Shu: "Do you even need to tell me this?"

"So, I believe that Your Majesty's chances of success lie with the eldest prince. Please forgive me, Your Majesty, before I dare to continue..."

Concubine Shu grew impatient and frowned, saying, "Why don't you just tell me? What are you trying to say? I don't have time to play tricks with you!"

"Yes..., Your Majesty, if, if the eldest prince were sick, wouldn't the emperor be distressed..."

Concubine Shu stared at her with sharp eyes.

Concubine Lin knelt hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I have no other intentions! I'm just going to pretend that the eldest prince is sick... I really can't think of any other way! Your Majesty, you don't know, it was hard enough before with only one Concubine Chen, but now that Concubine Chen has the little prince and Du Qingzhi is extremely troublesome, it's getting even harder for others to see the emperor!"

Shufei was even more upset, this was what she was worried about.
