503 Does the Queen Still Want to Compete for Favor?
"What should I do? I can't keep her here forever, right?" Concubine Zheng was worried that Nanny Liu would treat her son badly.
Gu Xiaoxi nodded in understanding and said, "Find a slick guy and chase her out to the yard first. If she does anything wrong, give her a good beating. When her legs can no longer move, make her a lowly servant."
"This is a good idea, and it can also give us some relief. We have been nice to her. I originally thought that since she has been with Min Xuan for many years, I would make her life easier in the future. I never expected that... Alas..." Concubine Zheng could not hide her disappointment.
Gu Xiaoxi comforted him, "The world is unpredictable. The harem is like a battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder. It's always a good thing to be prepared for danger in times of peace."
Concubine Zheng agreed with Gu Xiaoxi's words, and the two talked for a while. Then Gu Xiaoxi left Concubine Zheng's palace and went to Concubine Pang's palace.
After explaining the situation here, she hurried out of the palace.
These days, I have been using that method to find the places the queen has been to outside the palace, and I actually found a hidden hall.
Last night she brought people to wipe out that gang.
After finishing the affairs in the palace tonight, she hurried to find another place.
…
Another three days passed, and Gu Xiaoxi went to the palace for the last time to give Concubine Zheng acupuncture.
Concubine Zheng told Gu Xiaoxi that the queen came today and said she wanted to see how she was doing.
As a result, two maids were assigned to serve her. Since the queen sent them over so blatantly, she couldn't refuse them.
"Master, do you have any way to get rid of this person legitimately?" She looked at Gu Xiaoxi expectantly.
Gu Xiaoxi thought about it seriously, then asked with a mischievous smile, "Does the Queen still want to compete for favor?"
Concubine Zheng shook her head: "Ever since I had Min Xuan, I just want to live a comfortable life."
"Then do you know whether the Queen has mentioned to the Emperor about adopting the Seventh Prince?" Gu Xiaoxi asked again.
"That's not the case. There's no news from there. If she really said it, she probably wouldn't do it." Concubine Zheng thought so.
“Tell the Seventh Prince to invite the Emperor over, and have those two maids serve him.
When the emperor sees a strange face, he will most likely ask questions.
If they don't ask, just tell them yourself, saying that the Queen is worried about your health and sent two maids to take care of you." Gu Xiaoxi felt that the Emperor was not stupid and would naturally understand the Queen's intention.
Concubine Zheng understood that the master wanted to see how the emperor would handle this matter?
"Thank you for your guidance, Master." She said gratefully.
"No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Concubine Pang. I'm leaving now. Take these medicines and take care!" Gu Xiaoxi handed the bundle in his hand to Concubine Zheng.
There are some poisons and antidotes in here, I hope they can help Concubine Zheng.
"Master! Regardless of whether it was Concubine Pang who invited you here, I will always remember your life-saving grace.
If I have the chance one day, I will definitely repay you for this favor." Concubine Zheng got out of bed and knelt on the ground to thank Gu Xiaoxi.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind!" Gu Xiaoxi helped Concubine Zheng up and walked forward to open the door.
Outside the door, Nanny Zheng heard the noise and stood up to salute Gu Xiaoxi.
"The queen is fine now. We'll have a chance to see each other again in the future." After saying this, Gu Xiaoxi put on the invisibility talisman and walked out of the room.
Nanny Zheng turned around and bowed to express her gratitude towards the outside of the courtyard. She waited for a while before turning back into the house.
After leaving Concubine Zheng, Gu Xiaoxi went to Concubine Pang's palace and told her that the matter here was over.
How to deal with the rest depends on Concubine Pang herself. After all, the Queen's power outside has not been eliminated, and she doesn't have much time to stay here.
After Gu Xiaoxi left, Concubine Pang said with emotion, "I really regret not treating this girl well before. Without her, A Li would have no way of dealing with the powerful forces that the Queen has outside the palace."
"Yes! Miss Xiaoxi is indeed capable." Nanny Yang nodded.
Gu Xiaoxi didn't hear what Concubine Pang said. After she came out of Concubine Pang's palace, she hesitated and went to the emperor's bedroom.
The emperor has been having nightmares every night these days. He either dreams of his brothers who were killed by him in the past, or of ministers who are crying out for justice.
ah……
With a loud shout, he sat up, soaking wet all over.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what happened to you?" Eunuch Lin heard the noise and hurried over.
Bang!
The emperor was so angry that he slapped Eunuch Lin in the face.
Ouch……
Eunuch Lin was so dizzy from the slap that he knelt on the ground after shouting, "I am guilty, I am guilty!"
The emperor paused for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Get up!"
"Your Majesty, are you having a nightmare again?" Eunuch Lin asked cautiously.
"I don't know what happened these past two days. I always dream about people and things from the past. There are always some messy people and scenes appearing in my dreams. Oh..." The emperor rubbed his painful temples, his face full of pain.
Seeing that the emperor looked so uncomfortable, Eunuch Lin asked someone to invite the imperial physician to see the emperor.
After the imperial physician came to diagnose the emperor, he simply said that the emperor was too concerned about state affairs and was too tired.
Gu Xiaoxi had already entered the house. She was eating in the space while observing the situation outside.
"This room is so dark. It's obvious that someone has planted something there. Anyone who lies here will have nightmares." She said lazily.
It is probably not an easy thing to attack the emperor in the palace.
"Could it be that Concubine Yun's people came in?" she muttered to herself.
"Boss, it's probably true that the dog emperor dreamed about past events and the dead court officials." Number One felt it was very likely.
Gu Xiaoxi swallowed the pastry in her mouth, wondering whether she should take action to solve this trouble?
Just when she was hesitating, the emperor ordered someone to call over Lord Li from the Imperial Observatory.
Lord Li is indeed capable. He came over and saw what was going on.
"Your Majesty, someone has tampered with your bedroom." He found out the cause and reported it hurriedly.
After hearing this, the emperor's face darkened and he ordered, "Master Li, what do you think we should do?"
"I'm afraid Your Majesty has to move somewhere else first. Once I've cleaned up this place, Your Majesty can move back." Lord Li replied with a bow.
kindness!
The emperor did not object and soon moved out of the bedroom and went to the imperial study.
Gu Xiaoxi followed. She was not interested in whether the place could be cleaned up. What interested her was the emperor's guess as to who had done this.
After the emperor moved to his study, the bad feeling disappeared immediately.
"Sure enough, someone had tampered with the bedroom. After I came here, I felt a lot more comfortable." He said embarrassedly.
"Who is so bold as to plot against you in the palace!" Eunuch Lin really wanted to catch this man right now and give him a good beating.
"Hmph!" The emperor snorted coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes.
