Defei has such a big palace, but there is no one guarding it?
It seems that kind people are often bullied. This palace servant must have started to slack off because he saw that Concubine De was kind.
Concubine Chen tiptoed to the door and crouched down to look into the bedroom.
Just one glance and her face changed drastically with fear.
If it’s not Empress Xian and her companions, then who else could it be?
The four of them sat together, each holding the leaf cards that she was very familiar with.
Before entering the palace, the maid had reminded me that playing mahjong was not allowed in the palace.
These people are so bold.
Seeing Concubine Chen standing there in a daze, her personal maid went forward to pull her away, fearing that she would be discovered.
Her pull scared Lady Chen so much that she screamed.
Fortunately, the palace maid reacted quickly and covered her mouth with her hand, so that she was pulled away without making any sound.
Empress Xian had her back to the palace gate, and as if she had sensed something, she turned around and glanced outside the gate.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing her like this, Concubine De asked softly.
"I seem to hear some noise," she stood up and put down the cards worriedly, "I'll go check it out."
The three of them also stood up and walked to the door. There was no other sound outside except the rustling of leaves in the wind.
"Where's the gatekeeper?"
Defei looked at the empty doorway, and as she finished speaking, two little palace maids rushed over.
"My lady, I have a stomachache and need to go to the toilet."
The two of them said this in unison and quickly stood by the door.
"Don't go together next time."
After saying this, Concubine De glanced around and said, "Go in."
Empress Xian lowered her eyes slightly, wondering if she had heard it wrong.
…
When Concubine Chen, who was hiding in the corner of the palace wall, saw several people coming in, she covered her chest and gasped for breath.
It was a close call, I was almost discovered by a few people.
Seeing that she looked like she had survived a disaster, the personal maid asked in confusion.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
I just saw that Lady Chen's face looked strange, and I don't know what she saw that shocked her so much.
"I'm fine, let's go back first."
The two hurried back to their residence. Lady Chen drank a cup of tea to calm herself down and put down the cup.
"Empress Xian and the others are finished."
It turned out that God was helping her. These people were so bold as to play mahjong in the palace.
When she entered the palace, she heard that one of the late emperor's concubines was caught playing mahjong with other palace ladies and was executed immediately.
Thinking of this, the smile on Lady Chen's lips deepened.
"Is it over?" The little maid's eyes widened, her face pale. "Master, you can't say that."
"I saw Concubine Xian and a few others playing mahjong."
After Lady Chen finished speaking, she already had a plan in mind.
She told the palace maid not to tell anyone about this and decided to go see Concubine Shu again tomorrow.
…
The next day.
After lunch, Concubine Chen went to see Concubine Shu.
As expected, Concubine Shu still closed the door and refused visitors.
"Miss Lu'er, I really have something important to discuss with the Concubine."
Seeing that her expression didn't seem fake, Lu'er turned and went in.
"My Lady, Lady Chen said she has something important to tell you, and she seems quite anxious."
Concubine Shu's cold had almost recovered and her complexion looked much better. She put down the Buddhist scriptures in her hand.
"Bring it in."
Concubine Chen came in, bowed, and asked with concern whether Concubine Shu was in good health. Then she held the tea with hesitation.
Concubine Shu's face was kind, "I heard from Lu'er that Concubine Chen is in trouble?"
Finally asked.
Lady Chen was so excited that she put down her cup, bit her lip, and spoke after a while.
"I went to Concubine De's palace and accidentally saw Concubine De and her friends playing mahjong."
Concubine Shu, who had originally looked gloomy, became interested after hearing this and looked at Concubine Chen in surprise.
"Lady Chen, you can't say that casually. I'll pretend I didn't hear it today. Please go back."
Concubine Chen told her this simply because she wanted to use her to deal with Concubine De and the others.
It's ridiculous that a brainless person wants to take advantage of her.
"Every word I say is true," Lady Chen said excitedly, "I saw it with my own eyes."
If she could see the emperor, how could she have told Concubine Shu?
Concubine Shu rubbed her brows and said, "The affairs of the harem can be handed over to Concubine Shu. It's meaningless for Concubine Chen to speak to me. Lu'er, send Concubine Chen out."
"Tai Fei, the Concubine Shu is also among them. What's the point for me to go looking for her?"
After saying this, Concubine Chen cursed Concubine Shu in her heart, saying that the damn old woman really didn't care about anything.
He stood up and walked out reluctantly.
Lu'er sent the person out and walked to Concubine Shu and asked in a low voice.
"Do you really not care? This Concubine Shu has arranged such a palace for you, why not take this opportunity."
Concubine Shu glanced out the window and said something irrelevant.
"I'll take a short nap. You can tell the emperor later that I've finished reading the Buddhist scriptures."
Lu'er was confused. The concubine had clearly only flipped through a few pages, so why did she say she had finished reading?
"Yes, I will tell the emperor right away."
…
Eunuch Cao was almost falling asleep standing at the door of the imperial study. Suddenly, he saw Lu'er walking towards him and stood up straight in an instant.
"Miss Lu'er, are you looking for the Emperor?"
The emperor used to go there often, but the concubine avoided him. Why did he come in person now?
Lu Er bowed and said, "The Concubine Dowager asked me to tell the Emperor that she has finished reading the Buddhist scriptures. Please trouble Eunuch Cao to report this to the Emperor."
"good."
Eunuch Cao turned and entered the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, someone close to the Concubine Dowager just said that she has finished reading the Buddhist scriptures."
[Have you started to act? You used to avoid the tyrant like a snake, but now you're actually approaching him on your own?]
The emperor stood up and said, "Go to Concubine Shu's palace."
Do you really want Buddhist scriptures? He wants to see what Concubine Shu is going to do.
When Lu'er came back, she found that Concubine Shu had already stood up and sat down.
"Doesn't Toffee want to take a nap?"
Concubine Shu glanced at the teapot on the table and said, "I can't sleep. Go make some tea."
By the time the tea is ready, the emperor should be here.
Judging from Concubine Chen's intelligence, I'm afraid she would have alerted the enemy before the emperor even saw her.
Sure enough, when Lu'er brought the brewed tea over, she heard that the emperor had arrived.
"I heard that Auntie has finished reading the Buddhist scriptures," the emperor glanced at the Buddhist scriptures on the small table, "Auntie, you read so fast, you must have hurt your eyes."
[Haha, Tyrant, if you want to say that I haven't finished reading it, just say it directly. What's the point of saying "keep your eyes open"?]
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern," Concubine Shu naturally knew that this was not a genuine concern for her.
The emperor sat down and looked at the hot tea on the table, raising his eyebrows slightly. Concubine Shu seemed to have expected him to come.
"I wonder what kind of Buddhist scriptures Auntie wants this time?"
[Could it be that the tyrant is also interested in Buddhist scriptures? ]
Concubine Shu also thought so.
Finally, the emperor added a sentence.
"Is it thin or thick?"
Yu Yiluo: “…”
[I was wondering why the sky was clear, it turns out the tyrant had left me speechless.]
At this time, a little palace maid came in from outside.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Dowager, Concubine Chen requests an audience."
[Please welcome the grand appearance of Concubine Shu's gun barrel.]
emperor:"……"
"Let Lady Chen come in."
