Seeing that she was really nervous, the Queen Mother chuckled and said, "Feng Jieyu is smart, and you are well-behaved in her training."
No matter how she listened to this sentence, it seemed as if there was some hidden meaning. Ru Yuan lowered her head and did not dare to speak. She just stood aside quietly.
As soon as he stood still, he heard the Queen Mother say, "Since you saw Lu Wan coming out of Chaoyuan Hall, do you want to hear what the two of them said?"
Hearing this question, Concubine Feng knew that the Queen Mother had discovered her presence. Her heart beat faster and faster. Concubine Feng smiled awkwardly and said hurriedly, "The Queen Mother has misunderstood. I did not mean to inquire about the government affairs."
Having said that, he knelt down and pleaded guilty the next moment.
The Queen Mother waved her hand and told her to stand up. "That's enough. I've said before that I don't like to see you kneeling down at every turn."
Concubine Feng felt a moment of regret in her heart. She still underestimated the empress dowager who had the government firmly in her hands. But now the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. It was impossible for her to leave like this.
Thinking of this, she stood up as the Queen Mother instructed, lowered her head and sat aside.
The Queen Mother then turned to Shuncai and ordered, "Go, send someone to call Lu Wan into the palace and tell her that I have something to see her about."
Shuncai frowned quietly and glanced at Concubine Feng, then went downstairs to ask someone to invite Lu Wan.
After leaving the empress dowager's sight, Shuncai kept shaking his head. He naturally knew that Concubine Feng was Song Ping's person, otherwise he would not have felt so regretful.
When I met Concubine Feng before, she was also a very smart woman. Why is it that when I meet her today, she seems a little exaggerated? She had no grudges against Lu Wan. She knew that Lu Wan was Prince Shen's woman, but she was still curious about her and even brought the matter to the Queen Mother.
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
Shuncai patted his forehead and said to himself, "We must send this news out of the palace as soon as possible."
After today, no matter how well Concubine Feng performs, she will not be able to please the Empress Dowager. If Song Ping wants to place pawns around both the Empress Dowager and the Emperor at the same time, she may have to find another candidate.
A young eunuch saw Shuncai coming out of the palace and hurried forward to please him, but he didn't expect to hear him mumbling to himself. After a pause, he asked, "Eunuch Shuncai, what message do you want to send out? Why don't you let me do it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Shuncai suddenly look up, revealing a sharp look. After remembering the eunuch's appearance in his mind, he smiled and said, "You came at the right time. I have an errand for you to do."
The young eunuch smiled and bent over.
Shuncai smiled at this, and then said, “It’s not a difficult thing. Go to Prince Shen’s Mansion and bring Lady Lu Wanlu over. The Queen Mother wants to see her.”
The young eunuch was stunned. "But what message did you just say you wanted to send——"
Before he could finish his words, Shuncai interrupted him immediately, "Can you guess what the Queen Mother ordered? If you lose your life because you know too much, you can't blame me."
