Chapter 114 An Lingrong 55
However, unlike her previous life, in this life, Concubine Hua's scheme had already been used by Lingrong and the other two. The emperor had also determined that she had framed Meizhuang for a false pregnancy and sent someone to murder Meizhuang's "child".
Because of this, the emperor wanted to see Liu Bin alive more than anyone else.
A single move can affect the entire body. He has always been kind to the Nian family for so many years, and he must not let his efforts fall through because of Liu Bin. Concubine Hua must not move now.
Zhen Huan may not be able to fully understand the emperor's cruelty, but she has gradually come to understand the emperor's schemes in the turbulent situation in the palace over the past two years.
When the wall falls, everyone pushes it, but before the wall of the Nian family collapses, they must not act rashly.
"Why does the young master seem unhappy about the news?" Liu Zhu originally thought that his master should be happy. After sending people to search for him for so long and finally capturing him, why did the young master look worried?
Zhen Huan shook her head and didn't answer. The dim candlelight suddenly jumped, as if waking her from her thoughts: "Did the two families find this person together?"
"Our Zhen family happened to capture him at the Yongzhou border, and we haven't informed Young Master Hui's family yet."
"Tell father to have our people lead the Nian family there, and then pretend they don't know and continue searching."
Zhen Huan adjusted the wick, looked at the brighter flame in front of her, and smiled meaningfully.
Since this evidence is doomed to be useless, it will only add a little more fuel to the emperor's anger.
………
"Has Liu Bin's body been found?" Yinzhen listened to the report from his subordinates with an indifferent look on his face.
"Your Majesty, I found it."
"Who did it?"
"Nian family."
"Are you sure?"
"It's confirmed. It's a military tactic."
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor's eyes showed a slight fluctuation. He seemed to sigh softly, and when he spoke, his words were so cold that even Xia Qia could not help but shiver:
"Tell them to be careful. They must not be discovered by the Nian Mansion because of this little thing. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand."
After the shadow-like figure left, Yinzhen's face was still pale. He wrote on the white rice paper with a graceful brush, then threw away the red brush and decisively turned over Hua Fei's card from the green cards brought by the eunuch from the Jingshifang.
In the deserted hall, the blood-red words almost soaked through the back of the paper. The large, flamboyant characters filled the entire white paper. Written in cursive script, it read:
Tolerate.
For more than a month, the emperor had worn out the paint on Concubine Hua's green card. Not to mention the old people, even her new lover could only stare at the direction of Yikun Palace and stay alone in the empty room.
Concubine Hua had returned to her usual domineering ways, even becoming more extreme. The only things she could tolerate were the three pregnant women in the palace, though she would only refrain from corporal punishment.
Concubine Hui has not left Cunju Hall since she became pregnant. Concubine Lingrong also took advantage of the previous epidemic and simply said that she was frightened. Even after the epidemic subsided, the palace gates were still closed.
So, the Emperor went out of the capital to deal with the Henan candidate boycott, and he promoted Concubine Jing to Concubine Jing. It was only through the Empress's suppression and the sharing of power with Concubine Jing that they could control Concubine Hua after the Emperor left.
Only Noble Lady Fucha, perhaps due to the ideology instilled in her by her family, had her brain clogged. She seemed to regard her pregnancy as the highest honor in her life, and had no idea how to write the word "low-key". Recently, she even dared to contradict Concubine Hua to her face.
"The Emperor dotes on me so much, I am so blessed." The Queen sat on the throne, flipping through pages of history books, complimenting Concubine Hua with a smile on her lips, and looked with satisfaction at the concubines in the palace who were either openly or covertly dissatisfied with Concubine Hua.
Nian Shilan was extremely proud. She loved the feeling of being completely favored by the emperor and envied by the concubines in the harem. Bathed in such gazes, Concubine Hua was not angry but happy: "I have no choice. The emperor insisted that he was comfortable staying with me. Your Majesty, you tell me, I can't let the emperor be uncomfortable staying somewhere else, right?"
"The concubines in the harem should naturally put the emperor first." The queen nodded in agreement and then sternly instructed the concubines present: "You should also learn from Concubine Hua and take serving the emperor as your own responsibility."
Noble Lady Fucha, who was sitting in the back, suddenly laughed out loud. When everyone looked at her, she held her four-month-old belly and said, "I also think what the Queen said is very right."
"But when it comes to serving the Emperor, how can we compare to Empress Hua? I can only do my duty to help the Emperor expand his family lineage."
Everyone in the room had different expressions, but no one bothered to look closely at Concubine Hua's expression. It was hard to dwell on Noble Lady Fucha's words, and even Concubine Hua guessed the implication in her words but could only keep it to herself.
But Concubine Hua was not one to be bullied. She glanced at her new ruby-studded ring and took the words as flattery: "Noble Lady Fucha is quite self-aware. She knows that, like Concubine Qi, her status is determined by her son's birthright. It's a pity that her gender is determined by fate."
The mockery in his eyes could no longer be concealed as he spoke: "He's lucky to be a prince, but if his personality is like his third brother, he'd be worse off being a daughter, haha~"
Concubine Qi was like a tiger when it came to her son. She ignored her usual fear of Concubine Hua and directly retorted, "What do you mean by that? The Third Prince is the Emperor's eldest son. Not everyone's son can compare to him!"
This remark offended Noble Lady Fucha again, and she immediately retorted, rubbing her belly: "So what if he's the eldest son? If he's really a piece of wood, I'd rather have a daughter like Princess Wen Yi, at least she'd be liked by the Emperor."
"you!"
"Alright, cut the crap. Every time you come here, you start bickering, and it gives me a headache. Actually, whether it's a boy or a girl, it's all the same to the Emperor and me. The most important thing is that you, Concubine Yi, and Concubine Hui can have a smooth birth."
"Yes, I am in very good health, unlike Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi, who often feel unwell... Isn't that right, Concubine Wan?"
Zhen Huan, who had been sitting there, smiling and watching the show, had not expected that Noble Lady Fucha would not stop until she had offended everyone. She smiled and brought up another matter: "Speaking of which, since Sister Fucha's pregnancy is so stable, the Emperor must be very happy."
"Of course. The emperor often comes to the Yanx Palace to visit me... and the baby in my belly." Noble Lady Fucha raised her neck proudly, like a victorious rooster.
"Sis is so favored, I think the emperor will definitely choose a good title that is worthy of Sister Fucha."
"Oh, what Lady Wan said is correct. If one is favored, he will naturally receive a title..."
Hua Fei's words were clear. The Emperor naturally cared about favored concubines like Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi.
That's not favored...
Of course, different people have different opinions.
