"Your Majesty, I feel better now."
Concubine Heng gently stirred the teacup with the lid, with a faint smile on her face, but her heart was filled with dark clouds.
She always spoke like this in the Pepper Palace, and the Queen couldn't do anything to her anyway.
Queen Wang sat at the top. Although her makeup was exquisite, if you looked closely, you could still feel her frailty.
She showed a typical smile and said, "Thank you for your concern, sister. Don't worry, I am in good health now."
The two of them were almost fighting each other to the death behind the palace, but with Xiao Hanyi ascending the throne, they did not dare to fight openly.
This time, Concubine Heng used the excuse of "illness" to take the knife. Others did not know the inside story, but Queen Wang probably knew it in her mind.
Queen Wang's ordinary words did not cause any ripples in Concubine Heng's mind, but it made Concubine Liang, who was sitting next to her, feel uncomfortable.
Now that Queen Wang has recovered, she will have to return the management of the harem to the Queen!
Concubine Liang was unwilling.
During the time she was in charge of the harem, there was no need to elaborate on the flattery and smiles from the concubines, palace maids and eunuchs. Oh my god, it had only been a few days, and the benefits she had earned were so great that the monthly salary was not even enough to fill her teeth.
Apart from other things, just the purchase of the palace alone made her earn tens of thousands of taels, and over time...
Concubine Liang was determined not to hand over power. She secretly glanced at Queen Wang and prayed in her heart, "Why didn't this woman die? God is really blind."
In the past, she followed Queen Wang around, serving her wholeheartedly, but she didn't get any benefits at all.
Concubine Liang glanced at Concubine Heng again and cursed her inwardly as a waste. Queen Wang was completely defenseless and she couldn't kill her with one sword. Yet she had the nerve to say that she came from a family of military generals. How shameful.
How can we keep the power in our hands?
Concubine Liang fell into deep thought...
"I see that you look radiant, Concubine Liang," said Concubine Heng slowly.
Concubine Liang withdrew her thoughts and said to Concubine Heng, "Your Highness is truly stunning and charming. Who in the harem can compare to you?"
This sentence sounds sour.
Concubine Heng continued, "Managing the harem is a daunting task, but you don't seem to be tired at all. It seems that you, Concubine Liang, are an expert in managing the harem, a hundred times better than our Empress."
Although the two did not get along, Concubine Liang was very pleased with this sentence. She had been managing the harem these days, showing favors everywhere. The cunning eunuchs and maids in the palace were manipulated by her and all of them followed her orders.
Concubine Liang said with some pride, "Your Highness, I am worthy of your words."
After saying that, she took a sip of tea. Alas, the tea seemed to have a musty taste, not as good as the one her maids drank.
Concubine Heng was stifled by this sentence. This guy said she could bear it?
Does she know that she is sowing discord?
Concubine Heng was speechless.
While the two were talking, no one noticed that Queen Wang's expression changed. How come she hadn't realized that Concubine Liang had such ambitions before?
"What do you say, Queen?"
Concubine Heng asked Queen Wang.
Once you get hold of power, no one is willing to let it go. Queen Wang must understand this.
The corners of Queen Wang's mouth twitched slightly, which was considered a smile. "With the help of Concubine Liang, I can also relax a lot."
Concubine Liang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please take a rest. I will take care of everything."
Queen Wang gave Concubine Liang a smile and said, "Well said. Don't say it again in the future."
"It will be difficult for the Empress to recover due to her age. She will need at least three to two years of recuperation," said Concubine Heng with a half-smile.
At this time, a little palace maid came in hurriedly and whispered a few words in Queen Wang's ear.
The shock on Queen Wang's face grew more and more intense.
Confer the fourth princess the title of Princess Zhaoyang?
The Minister of Rites opposed it and was removed from his post?
Xiao Hanyi was beaten to death just because Concubine Xu disrespected her as the queen?
Everyone didn't know what was going on for a moment, and they all raised their heads to look at Queen Wang.
Queen Wang waved her hand, signaling the palace maid to leave.
He asked someone to serve tea to everyone again, and then said, "The emperor canonized the fourth princess as Princess Zhaoyang."
hiss!
Only the legitimate princess can...
Does the emperor dote on the fourth princess so much?
Among those present, only Queen Wang and Concubine Heng had a son and a daughter, and Concubine Fan had a daughter. The rest had no children.
Guo Xiner was lucky, she gave birth to a daughter, and she became a noble concubine. Now even her daughter...
Who wouldn’t be jealous of such overwhelming wealth?
Concubine Heng was furious. Her second princess had not yet been given a title, so what right did that bitch have to give birth to a child?
No, we have to get the second princess back quickly, otherwise if she leaves for too long, Xiao Hanyi might forget about his daughter.
"The emperor just left the court and beat Concubine Xu to death with a stick," Queen Wang said again.
What?
Is she cheating on me?
This was everyone's subconscious reaction, because Xiao Hanyi no longer cared about the harem, and the last time he took action was because Guo Xiner was almost poisoned to death.
If it wasn't something extremely outrageous, why would he order someone to be beaten to death without going through the Queen?
Concubine Heng changed her posture and asked casually, "What mistake did Concubine Xu make?"
Queen Wang hesitated slightly and said, "Yes, she is disrespectful to me."
She obviously didn't believe it.
Sure enough, Concubine Heng didn't believe it either. She snorted. If it was about disrespecting the queen, she would have been beaten to death a hundred times. This was just an excuse.
"Do you remember Concubine Xian?" Concubine Heng frowned slightly.
Why are you mentioning Concubine Xian?
Everyone was puzzled.
Gupin continued, "It seems that she did something wrong to the emperor, and was secretly executed by the emperor."
ah?
What have you done to offend the emperor?
