After thanking Xiang Shuncai, Lu Wan happily went to Prince Shen's Mansion.
However, the atmosphere in Shoukang Palace was not as friendly as that at the palace gate. As soon as Lu Wan left, Concubine Feng knelt on the ground and said, "I have lost my sense of propriety. Please punish me, Queen Mother."
The only answer she got was the sound of dripping water from the bronze leak in the temple.
"Before I gave the bracelet to Lord Lu, I forgot to ask your opinion."
In the extreme silence, the Queen Mother's voice also became a little more serious and cold. Even though the Queen Mother was smiling at the moment, Concubine Feng could still feel her anger.
Concubine Feng forced a smile and said, "This bracelet already belongs to you, Queen Mother. Of course, you have the final say on how to deal with it."
"I really like to hear that."
The Queen Mother smiled and glanced at Concubine Feng, as if she didn't notice that she was still kneeling. She just kept talking to herself, "I have a lot of bracelets, some good and some bad, but the ones I like are the best. Do you understand?"
Feng Jieyu was about to burst into tears. Hearing this, she nodded hurriedly and said, "I understand."
"Back off."
When she said this, there was no smile on the Queen Mother's face.
Concubine Feng did not dare to say anything more. She lowered her head and hurriedly left Shoukang Palace. Ru Yuan followed closely behind her. When there was no one around, Ru Yuan let out a long sigh of relief and said, "The Empress Dowager was really scary just now. I was almost scared to death."
She was so panicked that she didn't realize that she was not the only one trembling. Even Concubine Feng, who always had her own ideas, had a look of fear on her face.
Not hearing Concubine Feng's answer, Ru Yuan looked up in surprise, and then she found that Concubine Feng had already burst into tears. She was very surprised and shouted, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Concubine Feng held Ru Yuan's hand tightly and sobbed, "Ru Yuan, the Queen Mother will no longer be on our side. I——"
"How could this be? Jieyu, please don't let your imagination run wild."
Ru Yuan was shocked by Concubine Feng's words, and she immediately denied the idea.
After being with Concubine Feng for a long time, she had long known that the reason she and her master could be so successful in the palace was all because of the empress dowager's indulgence.
While Ru Yuan was comforting herself, she turned around and tried to persuade Concubine Feng, "There are so many women in the harem. The Queen Mother treats you best, so how could she ignore us?"
As she said this, her heart was pounding.
After being in the palace for so long, this was the first time she saw the Queen Mother so angry.
"No, it isn't."
Concubine Feng shook her head. The tears she had held back in the palace just now fell like beads from a broken string. "Do you think you were talking about the bracelet just now? There are so many women in the harem. Only those that the Queen Mother likes and satisfies can live in peace. We have been abandoned by the Queen Mother."
How big a wave can an abandoned chess piece make?
"We shouldn't have come to Shoukang Palace today, Ru Yuan, we shouldn't have come."
Seeing Concubine Feng's eyes turn red in an instant, Ru Yuan also panicked, "Your Highness, let's go to the master for help? At worst, there is still Lord Song. Lord Song likes you so much. He is the nephew of the Queen Mother. As long as he can say a few good words for you in front of the Queen Mother, you may still be able to make a comeback."
She was more afraid of being abandoned by the Queen Mother than Concubine Feng. During the days when Concubine Feng was in power, she offended many people in public by using Concubine Feng's name. If the future was really as Concubine Feng said, Ru Yuan didn't dare to think about what her fate would be.
When Song Ping was mentioned, Concubine Feng's eyes lit up immediately, "Yes! And Song Lang, he will definitely be willing to help me!"
While speaking, Concubine Feng grabbed Ru Yuan's hand too tightly, causing Ru Yuan to even show a trace of pain on her face. However, looking at Concubine Feng's crazy look, she dared not say anything.
As soon as the master and servant returned to Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Feng immediately used the emergency contact method they had agreed on earlier and ordered someone to fly a kite in the garden.
In the garden, palace servants were coming and going, each doing their own job. A young eunuch who was fertilizing the flower beds saw the kite, his eyes flickered, and he hurriedly ran away, making the excuse that he had to go to the bathroom.
While Concubine Feng was anxiously waiting, Ru Yuan poured her a glass of water and placed it beside her. Seeing that Concubine Feng placed such great hopes on Song Ping, she felt a little uneasy, so she persuaded her, "I know that the queen believes in Lord Lu, but this matter is special. Why don't we send a letter back to the mansion, so that the Lord and others can help you outside."
"You think I haven't thought about doing this?"
Concubine Feng turned her head and glanced at Ru Yuan, her expression was somewhat sinister, "Do you think that after father knows about this, he will try to help me? Ha! He will only send my second and third sisters to the palace to consolidate his power."
After hearing this, Ru Yuan looked at Concubine Feng worriedly.
"I know what kind of person my father is. Compared with his future, my father would abandon me without hesitation, even if it was all my sisters."
Feng Jieyu buried her face in her hands so as not to look so embarrassed. "Sometimes I wonder how nice it would be if my last name wasn't Feng."
Seeing that she was getting more and more outrageous, Ru Yuan tried to persuade her, "Jieyu is talking nonsense again."
When Concubine Feng heard this, she just smiled and shook her head. She looked at the kite flying in the sky from afar and thought that it was herself trapped by the string.
"I am definitely unreliable at home. Now I can only wait for Song Lang and hope that he can come as promised."
