After listening to the palace maid's words, Concubine Chen decided to test the truth of what Roupin said. If it was true, she would use it to threaten Roupin and let her deal with Shufei and others.
Shufei and the others were on good terms with Roupin, so naturally they wouldn't be on guard against her. This way, even if she was under house arrest, she could still reap the benefits.
"Master, what did you ask Concubine Rou to come here for?"
Concubine Chen looked confident and said, "You'll know in a moment. That bitch Concubine Huang deliberately told me this just to make me disobey the emperor's will like last time. She really thinks I'm a fool."
Seeing her like this, Qing'er felt relieved. Her master had learned a lot from what happened last time. He must have had a plan in mind before inviting Concubine Rou.
While she was thinking, someone knocked on the door. Lady Chen couldn't wait to stand up and open the door.
"Greetings, Madam Roupin."
Concubine Rou nodded. "What is it that Lady Chen asked me to come here for?"
Concubine Chen glanced at Jinzhi behind her, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Could it be that my maids are not allowed to enter here?"
"I'm afraid Concubine Rou wouldn't want her to know what I want to say."
Concubine Rou was not annoyed. She just smiled and asked the palace maid to guard outside the door while she walked into the house and sat down.
Lady Chen sneered in her heart. Laugh as much as you can now, or you won’t be able to laugh later.
"Go ahead," seeing Concubine Chen close the door, Concubine Rou said with a smile, "I'm actually very curious about what it is that shouldn't be known to others."
"Has Concubine Rou often asked Imperial Physician Lin to see you recently?"
Concubine Rou's expression paused, then she calmly returned to normal, "Yes, isn't it right to seek medical advice when you're sick?"
Qing'er, who was standing by, was stunned when she heard Lady Chen ask this question.
I thought her master had learned his lesson, but he actually asked Concubine Rou so directly. Isn't this alerting the enemy?
She tried her best to wink at Concubine Chen, but Concubine Chen's attention was all on Concubine Rou, so she had no time to look at her.
"It's indeed proper for a concubine to seek the imperial physician's advice," Concubine Chen interpreted Concubine Rou's slight pause as a sign of guilt, and with a smug expression on her face, "But Concubine Rou summons Imperial Physician Lin several times a month. Is that also proper?"
Now that things have come to this, if Concubine Rou still doesn't understand what Concubine Chen means, she would be a fool.
When Concubine Chen saw that Concubine Rou didn't say anything, she became even more proud.
"Don't be afraid, Concubine Rou. If you do as I say, I won't tell anyone about this."
"Empress Roupin, Master, please have some tea."
Qing'er wanted to use this opportunity to interrupt Concubine Chen from doing something stupid, but Concubine Chen waved her hand and told her to stay out of the way.
Concubine Rou took the tea, took a sip, raised her eyes and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"It's very simple," Concubine Chen's eyes were filled with undisguised resentment. "If you find a way to deal with Concubine Shu, I will keep it a secret for you. Otherwise, if you commit the crime of defiling the harem, Concubine Rou will know the consequences."
The secret guard who was monitoring Concubine Chen felt that he was embarrassed for others. How could Concubine Chen be so stupid and funny?
Even if Miss Huang wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife, she has to find a sharper knife.
Concubine Rou was silent for a while, then stood up with a smile.
"Filthy Harem? When did Lady Chen see me fouling my harem?"
She paused here and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that Lady Chen has again disobeyed the Emperor's will and left the palace to spy on me?"
Concubine Chen's face turned pale and she retorted sharply, "Don't talk nonsense, I have been in the bedroom and have not left."
She was scared just thinking about going against the emperor's will. She was so angry with those bitches last time that she lost her mind.
Fortunately, the emperor spared her.
"That's strange," Concubine Rou sighed. "Concubine Chen knew how many times I had consulted the imperial physician while I was in the bedroom. Since you didn't leave, it must be that someone deliberately said this to you. This person is really mean."
Concubine Chen pursed her lips and cursed Concubine Huang in her heart for having bad intentions and betraying the person on the spot.
"It was Miss Huang who told me."
No wonder I always felt like someone was lingering around my bedroom recently. It turned out to be Miss Huang.
Concubine Rou's expression was serious. "Sister Chen actually used this completely baseless thing to threaten me. I understand that you were being used and will not bother with you. Don't be so foolish in the future."
"You," Lady Chen said angrily, "are you really okay with Doctor Lin?"
"How about you and me go and go to the Emperor and explain this matter in person?"
"No need," how could Concubine Chen dare to do that? If Concubine Rou dared to look for the emperor, she must have a clear conscience.
"How about resolving the matter of Consort Shu?"
Roupin continued to ask.
"Are you threatening me?" Lady Chen widened her eyes.
She was the one who had the upper hand just now.
"So what if I threatened you?" Roupin's eyes darkened. "I just want to teach you to make sure the next time you threaten someone, you should first check whether the threat is true."
After saying this, Concubine Rou stood up and left. Concubine Chen was so angry that she trembled as she watched her leaving.
He cursed loudly, "This bitch Huang Meiren really deserves to die. She actually wanted to use me."
Qing'er stood aside without saying anything, thinking that no one can use your brain, and at most it will only bring harm to yourself.
Unable to bear watching Concubine Chen go crazy, she stepped forward and said, "Master, why are you looking for Concubine Rou to confront her? This is just alerting the enemy."
"I don't care if she scares the snake or not. I won't let that bitch Huang Meiren go."
Qing'er: "..."
His own life is still in the hands of others, yet he still wants to not let Miss Huang go.
"You should first consider whether Concubine Rou will bring this matter up to Concubine Shu."
Lady Chen raised her hand and slammed the table hard, and her eyes immediately turned red with pain.
"She said she wouldn't bother with me."
Not only was Qing'er speechless, but the eavesdropping secret guards almost laughed out loud.
