Chapter 101 Shupin confessed

Wen Hui suddenly realized what Concubine Lan said: "No wonder the Queen didn't go to help Concubine Ning just now."

He had even more respect for Concubine Chen Guifei. She had always been loved by the servants in the palace. Now that she was protecting his queen, she would surely live a peaceful life. Something like the poisoning she had last time would not happen again.

At this time, outside Yu's study, Meng Quande naturally followed Concubine Lan's instructions and turned into Yu's study, but saw that His Majesty was busy and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

The Great Chu Emperor saw through his hesitation and said, "Just tell me what you want to say. Why are you hesitating?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Ning is kneeling outside now, saying that she was incompetent in disciplining the palace maids, and she has come to apologize."

The Emperor of Great Chu put down his writing when he heard this. He had listened to Wanwan's voice in the past, and in recent days he felt that Concubine Ning was extremely stable, so he intended to make her the queen.

But at this moment she disappointed herself greatly. She was so humiliated that she had to reconsider the matter of becoming the queen.

So she spoke to Meng Quande in a somewhat aggressive tone: "Go tell her that instead of kneeling here, she might as well go back to the palace and teach her maids a lesson!"

The Great Chu Emperor's voice was extremely loud, and his words naturally reached the ears of Concubine Ning who was outside. Concubine Ning's face turned pale and her heart sank.

When Meng Quande came out, he relayed the story in a much more tactful way.

Concubine Ning had a pale face. She was helped up by Chunlan and walked towards Ninghe Palace with a haggard look.

People in Qingyun Palace had naturally also heard about this matter.

"It seems that His Majesty dotes on Concubine Ning very much," Jin Xin couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that he would be so decisive this time."

Jinyu, however, was very open-minded: "What's the point of talking about favor or not, there are so many concubines in the harem..."

At this point, he looked at Concubine Chen Guifei, who was sitting beside the bed, flipping through a book. He then continued, "When the princess was born, Your Majesty stayed in our palace every day."

After saying that, he stood up and poured a glass of water for Concubine Chen Gui: "It can be seen that favor does not last forever."

[Oh, mother, look at Sister Jinyu. She seems to be very open-minded. I think if she survives in the harem with her personality, she can survive for ten chapters.]

[My father stayed at my mother's place every day because there were auspicious signs when I was born, and there were two heavy rains in a row, so he liked me for a while. ]

【But then it lost its novelty and I stopped doing it.】

When Concubine Chen Guifei heard Lu Xingwan's thoughts, she felt distressed for a moment. She thought that her daughter was so negative because she lacked fatherly love.

She closed the book in her hand, looked at Jinyu beside her, and deliberately joked: "Our Jinyu is a person who can take it easy. Your Majesty did not enter the palace to compete for favors."

Jin Xin stepped forward and said with a smile, "Yes, our queen entered the palace to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

At this point, Concubine Chen Guifei suddenly remembered something and looked at Jinyu: "I said a few days ago that I would send Miss Shen a coming-of-age gift. The date should be tomorrow."

Seeing that Concubine Chen had changed the subject, Jinyu also hurriedly said, "Your Majesty has an excellent memory. It's tomorrow! I was thinking of reminding you."

"I originally wanted to go to the Shen Mansion to show up, but now that I'm sick, it's inconvenient for me to go." Concubine Chen Guifei began to think about what to give as a gift.

"By the way, I have a pair of gold shackles inlaid with ruby ​​and sapphires and butterflies. Jinyu, go get them."

Jin Xin exclaimed in amazement: "The Queen actually sent such an expensive gift?"

Concubine Chen smiled, her beautiful smile made people feel comfortable: "I like the sisters Shen Baoyan and Shen Baoshuang very much. Since I said I would give them gifts, I can't be stingy."

As she was talking, Jinyu took out the things. The pair of swings were placed in a sandalwood box that looked very ordinary, but it looked even more noble.

Even Lu Xingwan couldn't help but exclaim.

[What a beautiful boudoir! Mother didn’t keep such a good thing for Wanwan, but gave it to someone else.]

【Gold is so beautiful, it shines so brightly! 】

Concubine Chen couldn't help but smile upon hearing this, and scratched Lu Xingwan's little nose: "Look, our Wanwan's eyes are almost popping out. Wanwan, don't worry, mother has a lot of good things, I'll leave them all for you in the future."

Lu Xingwan still pouted.

[Mother, you are lying. Whatever you say from now on is a lie. Father once said that he would let mother take me to the study every day, but now he has broken his promise.]

[I don’t know how my father will treat Concubine Ning if she gives birth to a child in the future! ]

Lu Xingwan just wanted to complain about the Great Chu Emperor's change of heart, but she didn't expect that these words would reach the ears of Concubine Chen. She felt that Wan Wan was like this because she lacked her father's love. However, her father was the current emperor, and he was different from ordinary people, so she only felt distressed.

"How about letting Jinyu take Wanwan to the warehouse tomorrow to have a look?" Concubine Chen actually coaxed Lu Xingwan, who was considered ignorant by others, in a proper manner. "Wanwan can choose whatever she likes."

Instead, Lu Xingwan stared at Concubine Chen Guifei with wide eyes.

[Mother, I am not that greedy. I am not greedy for your things! I will ask my father to give them to me in the future!]

Jin Xin on the side also hurriedly echoed: "I forgot that our Princess Yong An loves gold the most."

Several people were laughing happily, and at this moment, Mei Ying came in from outside.

As soon as she saw Mei Ying, Concubine Chen knew that the interrogation of Concubine Shu had come to an end. Her eyebrows froze and she held her breath involuntarily.

Although she knew that the Second Princess' words were probably true, when the truth was really revealed, Concubine Chen Guifei became very nervous.

I have been sad for many years because of my sister's death, but I never expected that my sister died at the hands of someone else.

Mei Ying naturally saw Concubine Chen Guifei's expression, so she asked softly, "I heard that the queen was ill? Is she okay now?"

Concubine Chen shook her head: "She just pretended to be sick, but did you get any results from the interrogation of Concubine Shu?"

Meiying nodded.

Lu Xingwan, who was standing by, couldn't help but sit up straight and look at Mei Ying.

"Shupin said that when the young lady first fell ill, she was just suffering from a cold. The eldest princess happened to be ill at the time, and the young lady was even more worried, so she stayed in bed for dozens of days."

"During this period, the emperor handed over the power of assisting the six palaces to Concubine De."

"After tasting the sweetness of ruling the six palaces, Concubine De was unwilling to let go, so she found Concubine Shu, who was still Lady Shu at the time."

"De Fei knew Shupin was someone who would do anything for power, so she promised her that they would work together to overthrow the Empress. If this was accomplished, Shupin's position would definitely be promoted."

"Shupin knew that the Empress did not like her and that she would not gain anything even if she surrendered to her, so she naturally accepted the olive branch thrown by Concubine De."
