Chapter 100: Asking for forgiveness outside the study

After Doctor Zhao and Doctor Lin left Qingyun Palace, Jinyu happened to walk in from outside with an ugly look on her face.

Jin Xin couldn't help but joked, "What happened to Jin Yu? She went out so early in the morning and came back so dirty."

Jinyu just smiled bitterly: "My queen, something happened."

Only then did Concubine Chen realize that Jinyu was abnormal. Lu Xingwan, who was standing beside her, happened to wake up at this moment. She turned over and sat up, looking at Jinyu with a sharp gaze.

Jinyu's eyes seemed a little dull. "After His Majesty left Qingyun Palace last night, Eunuch Meng was ordered to go to Ninghe Palace. This morning, news came that Yunping was beaten to death last night."

"What!" Jin Xin couldn't help but exclaimed when she heard that.

"I heard that she was the one who falsely conveyed His Majesty's order, asking our queen to go to Ninghe Palace, and that's why..." Jinyu said, as if she felt a chill rising from the bottom of her feet, "His Majesty also said that no one in this palace can shake Concubine Chen's position."

"I should be happy, but..."

Seeing this, Concubine Chen took Jinyu and Jinxin's hands and said, "This is the imperial palace. Forging an imperial decree is a crime that should be punished. But the death penalty was given because of Concubine Ning's pregnancy."

"Don't worry, as long as we behave properly, there will be no such disaster."

[Mother is wrong. In the story, mother behaved uprightly, but was murdered by Concubine De. In the story, Marquis Dingguo behaved uprightly, but was framed for treason.]

[It can be seen that living under this imperial power still requires some strategies, and most importantly, one must be on guard against others. ]

[My aunt was harmed because she trusted others too easily. So, mother, you should be more vigilant in this deep palace.]

[Although I also feel that Concubine Ning is a bit pitiful. She was pregnant, but her maid was executed. It is indeed... a bit tragic. ]

"I'm afraid Concubine Ning is very sad now." As Concubine Chen Guifei said this, her thoughts drifted far away.

At this time in the Ninghe Palace, Concubine Ning was sitting calmly in front of the dressing table, alone.

Yesterday, Yunping told her what she had done, and she had a bad feeling, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly and so violently.

Yun Ping was really confused in this matter. She just wanted to win favor, so she dared to forge an imperial decree. This was a serious crime that would lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of the clan. The Emperor of Great Chu only punished her, probably for the sake of the child in her belly. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but stroke her belly. This child saved her life after all.

Meng Quande's words, "Concubine Chen's position in this palace cannot be shaken," are still echoing in Concubine Ning's mind. She never expected that His Majesty would protect Concubine Chen so much.

But yesterday, not only was Yun Ping beaten to death, but Concubine Ning's power to assist in managing the six palaces was also taken back. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.

Just when Concubine Ning was feeling upset and confused, another maid named Chunlan walked in from outside. Because the Empress doted on Yunping more, she had always disliked Yunping. Now that she was dead, it was what she wanted.

Thinking of this, he calmed down and brought the teacup in front of Concubine Ning: "Your Highness is pregnant now, so you should rest more."

Concubine Ning just glanced at her belly and didn't say anything.

Seeing that Concubine Ning still didn't say anything, Chunlan squatted down and gently massaged Concubine Ning's legs: "I think that Your Majesty should go to His Majesty and apologize now."

Concubine Ning looked at Chunlan suspiciously.

Chunlan knelt down hurriedly: "Please forgive me for my disrespect, Your Majesty. I only want the best for you."

Concubine Ning's eyes were very pretty, but now they revealed a cold look: "Go on."

Chunlan then straightened up and said, "Your Majesty, His Majesty must be upset with you because Yunping falsely conveyed the imperial edict. I think it would be better for you to go to the study. Even if His Majesty doesn't see you, it will also show your feelings to His Majesty."

After hearing this, Concubine Ning remained silent for a long time.

Soon, he took Chunlan to Yu's study.

Chunlan couldn't help but curl her lips behind Concubine Ning. Fortunately, she was smart today and stood up in front of Concubine Ning in time. She would definitely have a place in Ninghe Palace in the future.

When Concubine Lan came out of Yu's study, she was surprised to see Concubine Ning kneeling outside the door.

He hurried forward to help her up, but then he remembered what Concubine Chen Guifei had specially sent Jinyu to tell her today, so he withdrew his hand and said softly to comfort her, "Sister, why are you doing this? You should still consider the baby in your belly."

Concubine Ning raised her head, her eyes full of tears: "Sister Lan, it was my fault that I failed to teach her properly, and she dared to act arrogantly in front of the noble concubine. This is my fault, and I have come to apologize to Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Lan looked at Meng Quande and said, "Eunuch Meng, please go in and tell His Majesty that Concubine Ning is pregnant now. I'm afraid it will be bad for the fetus if she keeps kneeling."

After saying this, he sighed and looked at Concubine Ning.

At this time, Wenfang, the maidservant beside Concubine Lan, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, just now, the chief eunuch Chen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to Yanhe Palace to look for you. He seemed to have something important to report. I saw that he was very anxious..."

Before she finished speaking, Concubine Lan understood what she meant and nodded quickly, then looked at Concubine Ning: "Sister Ning, if that's the case, I will go back to the palace first. You should take care of yourself."

Concubine Ning just nodded sadly: "Thank you for your concern, Sister Lan."

But his fingers were digging into the flesh tightly and his teeth were clenched.

After leaving Yu's study, Concubine Lan asked Wenfang beside her, "Do you know why Eunuch Chen came here?"

Wenfang chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Eunuch Chen is probably doing his job well in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Concubine Lan turned her head and glanced at Wenfang, and immediately understood what she meant.

Wen Hui, who was standing by, didn't understand: "Why did you try to deceive the queen just now?"

Wenfang then tapped Wenhui's head and said, "I really don't know when your brain will come to its senses. Have you forgotten what Sister Jinyu, who is beside Concubine Chen Gui, said to our queen this morning?"

Seeing that Wenhui was still puzzled, Wenfang sighed and continued, "Didn't the Imperial Concubine say that now that our Majesty is helping to manage the six palaces again, we should be careful about everything. After all, if the Majesty gets this job again, there will be people who are unhappy."

Wenhui nodded ignorantly.

"Then from whom did our queen get the power to assist in managing the six palaces?"

"Concubine Ning..." Wen Hui didn't finish her words. She seemed to suddenly understand what Wen Fang meant. She gently covered her mouth and whispered, "You mean, Concubine Ning might be harmful to the Queen?"

"It's not that it's bad, but you have to be careful." Wen Fang shook her head when she heard it. "Concubine Ning is pregnant now, Your Majesty should stay away from her, in case she is tricked."

"Not really!" In Wen Hui's mind, Concubine Ning was still the kind person, "Concubine Ning was not always the best-tempered one."

Concubine Lan walked in front and whispered, "You must be on guard against others."
