Concubine Rou's words were soft and gentle, but to Concubine Fu's ears, they sounded like a thousand-dollar stone pressing on her shoulders.
When she entered the palace and became the emperor's favorite, Concubine Rougui was falling from power.
However, despite this, we have heard a lot about Concubine Rougui's style of doing things.
Although she appears gentle and quiet, she is more decisive and ruthless than the queen.
It is said that there was once a palace maid who used tricks to get to the top and took advantage of her favor to become so spoiled that she even ignored Concubine Rou. Concubine Rou did not care that the emperor was very fond of the palace maid and continued to do as she pleased. She infinitely magnified the guilt of the concubine by saying that she had violated the law and palace rules. In just one night, everyone in the harem became angry and worked together to kill the concubine's chance of survival.
If the Empress is described as both lenient and gentle, then Concubine Rou Guifei would be as fierce and powerful as thunder and lightning.
After being silent for many years, he suddenly and silently escaped the surveillance of Concubine Lixian, regained the favor and enjoyed unlimited glory. This shows that this person is meticulous and has deep strategies.
And after the restoration of favor, I'm afraid that the resentment accumulated over the years will only make him more resolute than before!
The bustle outside the palace gate was also conveyed to Zong Zheng Xiaoting through the palace servants.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting, who was already in no mood to sleep, curled up the corners of his lips, put on his coat again, and walked quietly to the back of the door.
Fu Jieyu, who had no idea what Concubine Rou Gui would do, could only bow her head and admit her fault: "My sister acted rashly, please forgive me, Concubine Gui."
"What Concubine Fu said makes me feel terrified." Concubine Rou glanced at her fiercely. "Based on Concubine Fu's attitude just now, I was worried that Concubine Fu would tell the emperor that it was I who threatened her and prevented you from searching the palace. You are just a little concubine, your position is not as high as Concubine Gui's. You have the will but not the strength, and you can't share the emperor's worries."
Although separated by a wall, Concubine Rou Gui's words were clear and distinct in the night.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting held onto the wall with his hands, a smile on his face.
I have always heard that Concubine Rou is resolute in her actions, gentle yet strong, and when she is ruthless, no one dares to say a word. Today, it seems that it is not easy for her to have such means and still gain the favor of the emperor.
These words can really be described as a strategy of courtesy before force. Fu Jieyu's thoughts were probably revealed by these words.
Sure enough, when Zong Zheng Xiaoting was laughing secretly, Fu Jieyu's voice came with a slight tremor: "I dare not."
"Humph! What is there to be afraid of?" Concubine Rougui snorted coldly, then turned to the Queen, "What do you think, Queen?"
"Fu Jieyu, please get up first. It's getting late and the dew is heavy. Don't catch a cold." At this moment, the Queen seemed to finally notice that Fu Jieyu was kneeling on the ground, and she spoke up to exempt Fu Jieyu from the formalities.
But after kneeling for a long time, when Fu Jieyu stood up, her eyes were already red from the pain. With the help of her maid Ye Hong, she staggered and stood up straight.
The more times came like this, the more Fu Jieyu dared not to lose her manners.
He endured the pain and bowed to the Queen again to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Her Majesty."
At this moment, Fu Jieyu's heart was in turmoil.
She knew very well that the Empress and Concubine Rougui had a deep sisterly bond, but the Empress's silence only made her feel more uneasy.
If this matter is not handled properly tonight, Concubine Lixian will definitely have opinions about it, and this will give the Empress and Concubine Rougui an excuse to pursue the matter. My future will be bleak.
Ever since Concubine Rou Gui was restored to the emperor's favor, his favor has been getting worse day by day. At this moment, he is really in a difficult situation.
Fu Jieyu looked annoyed and regretted secretly.
"But..." The Queen stretched out her voice, "I don't understand, when did Fu Jieyu get the emperor's job of assisting the six palaces?"
"Your Majesty..." Fu Jieyu was about to kneel down, but the Empress stopped her with a wave of her hand as if impatient.
The queen said in a tone that left no room for discussion: "Kneeling and bowing is in vain if it is not from the heart. I came here tonight to seek results, not forgiveness."
Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled and turned to walk towards the east hall.
The Empress and Concubine Rougui's concerted efforts have already determined Fu Jieyu's fate. I believe there is no need for me to add fuel to the fire in order to lure her into a trap. However, the variable of the Emperor tomorrow still carries risks, and that person should be able to deal with the variable.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting stepped into the east hall again with uncertainty.
At this moment, the East Hall was pitch black.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting stopped at the door, but hesitated to move forward.
By this time, the weak person should have fallen asleep, right? Or will he notify me early tomorrow morning?
Yes, there is still blood stain, I am afraid it is too late to clean it.
If the emperor comes tomorrow, and if the bloodstains reveal any trace, all our efforts will be wasted.
While frowning, Zong Zheng Xiaoting had a flash of inspiration. Perhaps, killing two birds with one stone is also a good option!
only..
Zong Zheng Xiaoting knitted his brows together, caught a glimpse of a sharp corner of the rockery not far away, bit his lip, and consoled himself secretly, deciding to go all out, as one must venture into the tiger's den to gain the tiger cub!
Under constant self-psychological suggestion, Zong Zheng Xiaoting did not give himself a chance to hesitate or retreat, and hurriedly rushed towards the sharp point of the rockery.
"Tsk..." Zongzheng Xiaoting cried out in pain, muttering to himself, "It really hurts so damn much. No wonder the self-torture trick is so effective."
"What are you doing?" The door slowly opened.
The half-open collar clearly revealed the man's good figure and wheat-colored skin.
When he heard some noise outside the house, he thought she was exposed. He waited for a long time but saw nothing. Suddenly, he heard a strange yet familiar voice, and he knew it was the greedy little palace maid.
But now, seeing his face wrinkled and his left hand covering his right arm, what was going on?
"Wealth and honor... Wealth and honor can only be achieved through risk." Zong Zheng Xiaoting replied to the man weakly.
Ignoring the man's gaze, she bit her lip and stepped into the room.
I just took the medicine I left in the house and bandaged myself.
Confused, he watched Zong Zheng Xiaoting coming towards the house. The light of the lit candle made Zong Zheng Xiaoting's wounds jump into his eyes.
The man frowned tightly and withdrew his gaze from outside the house.
Is this wound to cover up the blood that just shed?
Seeking wealth and honor through risk?
This money slave is something I have never seen or heard of before.
Watching Zong Zheng Xiaoting clumsily bandaging his wound, the man actually put aside his aversion to others getting close to him, and simply took the bandage and medicine bottle from Zong Zheng Xiaoting, pursed his lips and said nothing, as he applied medicine and bandaged Zong Zheng Xiaoting.
The candlelight flickered, and two figures were reflected on the door, quiet and clear.
The room was so quiet that one could clearly feel the breathing rate of both people.
