Chapter 61 No Need to Dirty Hands
At the same time, Bixiao Palace.
East side hall.
After Li Jieyu used both kindness and force on the palace maids and eunuchs, she dismissed everyone.
She raised her eyes to look at her personal maid Sang Zhu: "Have you found out clearly?"
It's this hour.
The emperor hasn't even picked a name or entered the harem yet.
Could it be that he is too tired today and doesn't plan to summon the two new concubines?
Sang Zhu paused for a moment before stammering, "I just heard that the Emperor entered the harem a quarter of an hour ago..."
Li Jieyu was slightly surprised: "Entering the harem?"
Since he didn't come to her, could he have gone to Concubine Qin's place?
No.
Li Jieyu quickly rejected this idea.
If she came to Bixiao Palace, there would definitely be some movement, and she couldn't have been unaware of it.
Since he didn't come here, he might have gone to the Queen's Palace.
"Did the Emperor go to Fenghe Palace?"
Sang Zhu shook his head and said cautiously, "The Emperor did not go to Fenghe Palace, but went to the rear hall of Changle Palace."
Li Jieyu frowned: "Who lives there?"
The moment she asked the question, she already had a guess in her heart, and a face vaguely appeared in front of her.
As expected, Sang Zhu said, "It's the beautiful lady Pei who sang the Jiangnan tune."
Li Jieyu was silent for a while, then said slowly, "I underestimated her."
She originally thought that this beautiful lady Pei was favored only because of her face.
It seems that this Concubine Pei not only has a beautiful face, but also has some real skills. Otherwise, she wouldn't have seduced the emperor to abandon his two new concubines and favor her.
Sang Zhu was also quite surprised: "I didn't expect that this beautiful lady Pei would be so favored."
I had only heard about it before entering the palace, but now that I am here, I can see it with my own eyes.
Li Jieyu didn't take this matter to heart and said softly, "What does it matter if she is favored? I'm afraid she will die soon."
Sang Zhu asked tentatively, "Does the Concubine want to take action against this Concubine Pei?"
Li Jieyu frowned and said coldly, "How did you hear that I was going to attack her?"
Sang Zhu was so frightened that her face turned pale and she knelt down quickly. "The Concubine said she would die soon. I thought she didn't want to keep her."
Listening to her argument, a hint of impatience flashed across Li Jieyu's eyes.
She originally had two personal maids, one named Sangzhen and the other Sangzhu.
Mulberry is intelligent, but only has a pretty appearance.
Although she had never heard of the emperor favoring a palace maid, she was afraid of the possibility, so she did not bring her with her and brought Sang Zhu, who was not as good-looking and not as smart.
She felt a little regretful, but the matter was done and she had already entered the palace, so there was no point in regretting.
Thinking that she would need her in the future, Li Jieyu suppressed the emotions in her eyes and raised her hand, saying, "Get up."
Sang Zhu stood up tremblingly.
Li Jieyu's eyes darkened. "I said this Concubine Pei would not live long, and it wasn't just hearsay."
Sang Zhu looked up.
Li Jieyu said with a hint of meaning: "I can tolerate her, but there are others who cannot. That person is impatient and I'm afraid he can't help it. We can just sit back and watch the tigers fight. Why dirty our hands?"
Sang Zhu suddenly realized, "That's what the master meant. I'm so stupid that I didn't understand it just now."
"It's okay." Concubine Li waved her hand, putting the matter behind her.
"Let them fight. The most important thing for us now is to win the emperor's favor and have a child."
"I understand."

West side hall.
After hearing the news.
Concubine Qin was so angry that her chest heaved. She held a long-necked vase with powder-green glaze and pretended to throw it to the ground.
The maid knelt on the ground and begged: "Jieyu, this ornament was given by the Empress, you can't drop it!"
After hearing the maid's words, Concubine Qin's hand froze in mid-air. Angrily, she put down the things she was holding and swept the things off the soft couch and small table. Tea cups and cakes fell to the floor, but she still felt unsatisfied. She turned around and kicked over the incense burner, sending ash and spices flying throughout the hall.
"These bitches are all against me, Concubine!"
Qin Jieyu's personal maid Fuling was afraid that she would choke, so she quickly got up from the ground and pulled Qin Jieyu to the bedroom.
"Jieyu, please calm down."
Concubine Qin was so angry that her face turned grim: "Calm down, how can you expect me to calm down?!"
Fuling knew her temper very well and did not dare to persuade her too deeply. She could only stand quietly by and wait for her to calm down.
After an incense stick of time, Qin Jieyu's expression finally softened, but her words were still vicious.
"If Qu Baolin dares to steal my pipa music, I will make sure she can never play the pipa again!"
"As for that vixen Pei, I will not let her go. I want her dead!"
Fuling couldn't help but frown: "Jieyu, this is not our house, we can do whatever we want. This is the palace, we must be careful with our words and actions, and must not act recklessly. Such outrageous words must not be spoken."
She thought that after entering the palace, her master's domineering nature would be restrained.
Now it seems that nothing has changed.
Concubine Qin disagreed: "What are you afraid of? Even if the truth is revealed, my life will not be in danger. My aunt is the Queen Mother, she will protect me. Is it possible that my cousin would turn against my aunt for a few shameful things?"
Fuling wanted to persuade: "Jieyu..."
Qin Jieyu exuded a chill and shouted, "Shut up, Jieyu!"
Fuling had no choice but to calm down.
A palace maid came in at this moment.
"Jieyu, Madam Meng from the Empress Dowager's palace has arrived and is waiting in the palace."
Concubine Qin's expression changed. She put on her clothes and went out with a faint smile on her face. "Why is Aunt Meng here?"
Madam Meng's expression was calm: "The Empress Dowager has summoned you. Please go with me, Concubine."
Qin Jieyu looked out the window, saw the night and smiled deeply, "It's getting late. I'll go pay my respects to my aunt tomorrow."
Madam Meng said, "This is the order of the Empress Dowager. Please don't embarrass me, my dear."
Qin Jieyu gritted her teeth and had to follow the man.
It was a quarter of an hour later that we arrived at the Cining Palace.
Queen Mother Qin was worshiping Buddha in a side hall. Nanny Meng went up to her and whispered a few words in her ear. Queen Mother Qin slowly stood up and moved to the main hall.
When Concubine Qin saw her, she quickly bowed and asked, "Aunt, why did you summon Yan'er so late at night?"
Queen Mother Qin's face lost its usual kindness and she looked at her solemnly.
Qin Jieyu was startled and was about to speak when a slap came down on her face.
She covered her face and said in disbelief, "Aunt, why did you hit Yan'er?"
Queen Mother Qin's aura became fierce, and her voice was icy cold: "Kneel down!"
Concubine Qin was unable to stand up due to the pressure from her and fell to her knees on the ground.
"aunt…"
Queen Mother Qin looked down at her condescendingly: "Do you know you are wrong?"
