Chapter 107: The Mother's Family Enters the Palace
As for Helian Renxin, several ministers felt that King Ren was so kind-hearted that he was a wise ruler, and that the current emperor had obtained the throne by illegitimate means and should be punished.
But now that His Majesty the King has no such intention, they just have to follow him loyally.
With the support of these people, he quickly gained a firm foothold in the court and began to place his own people, his own reliable people, everywhere.
At the same time, he had a bigger plan, he wanted military power.
This matter naturally requires the assistance of Marquis Dingguo of the Great Chu State. Remembering the promise Marquis Dingguo had made to him before, he immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Marquis Dingguo.
What he wanted was to hope that Marquis Dingguo could start a war on the border to dampen the arrogance of the Yuefeng Kingdom's soldiers, and he would take the initiative to ask for it. Helian Hengxin naturally hoped to stay away from the court, so he would certainly agree.
He took the opportunity to stay in the barracks and began to build up his own power.
As the prince was writing a reply to Marquis Dingguo, he felt deeply moved that the once arrogant and domineering Prince Helian now had to plan so painstakingly and start from scratch.
How lucky I am. Although my mother has passed away, my father has no doubts about me. My aunt also loves me very much. I have my younger brother to support me. I must not let them down.
As for Le Guiren, ever since she left Ninghe Palace, Concubine Ning's words have been lingering in her mind, "Sister, you must protect yourself well, this palace is in chaos..." She couldn't help but stagger her steps.
After thinking it over again and again, Le Guiren still headed for Qingyun Palace.
Looking at Concubine Chen's concern for me in the past, it seemed that it was somewhat sincere. Now that she is the most powerful in the harem, I might as well seek some help from her.
When Jin Xin saw that Lady Le came in with a pale face, she hurried forward to stop her and told the little maid sweeping the floor beside her, "Go and tell the queen that Lady Le is here."
Then he turned to look at Mr. Le with concern: "What's wrong with you, Mr. Le? Why do you look so pale?"
However, Mr. Le said nothing, just shook his head and walked towards the main hall.
Concubine Chen originally thought that Concubine Le was only here to pay her respects after she recovered from her illness. But today, after returning from Ninghe Palace, she had already met several waves of people, and she felt quite tired.
Lu Xingwan couldn't help but mutter.
[When mother was sick, none of these people came. They said that father asked mother to rest and recuperate and not to disturb her, but in fact they were probably afraid that mother would infect them with the cold.]
[If you really mean it, it would be nice to send something. ]
[Now that my mother is better, everyone knows how to act after the fact.]
Because of Le Guiren's image in the novel, Lu Xingwan has not been very fond of her since she entered the palace, and her tone is even more dissatisfied.
After a while, Guiren Le walked in with a pale face, and Jinxin shook her head at Guifei Chen, apparently not knowing what had happened.
Seeing Jinxin helping Le Guiren sit down, Jinyu hurriedly poured Le Guiren a cup of tea.
Only then did Le Guiren wake up from her dream and hurriedly stood up: "Greetings to the Royal Concubine. Is the Royal Concubine in good health?"
"I am fine now," Concubine Chen Gui also asked with concern, "but what happened to you?"
Mr. Le lowered his head again and did not speak for a long time. The people in the room were quite patient and just waited for Mr. Le to come back to his senses.
But Lu Xingwan couldn't bear it.
[What's wrong with all the women in this palace? If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you dithering?]
[Mother, your life is really hard. Not only does she have to be on guard against people in the palace who want to harm her, but she also has to help these women resolve disputes every few days. It's pitiful, it's really pitiful.]
Concubine Chen couldn't help but smirk. Wanwan was right. It was really tiring to get along with these women in the palace.
Not only does he speak in a roundabout way, he also has to be on guard against others trying to harm him.
But it does have its advantages. A woman as gentle as Sister Lan Fei is hard to find in the military camp. After thinking about it, Concubine Chen Guifei felt that she was not at a disadvantage.
Life, after all, has its gains and losses.
Le Guiren was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "The Royal Concubine once reminded me that after I became pregnant, I had to carefully check all the objects that came into my body before using them. Why was that?"
When Concubine Chen found out that she was worried about this, she heaved a sigh of relief: "I thought it was because of something else! Lady Le is worrying too much. I just thought that this is your first pregnancy, so I told you to be careful."
After hearing what she said, Le Guiren felt uneasy and muttered, "But Concubine Ning's child is indeed gone."
Concubine Chen couldn't help but frown when she heard this: "Did Lady Le go to Ninghe Palace?"
Le Guiren nodded: "Concubine Ning told me that if she could protect the baby in her belly well, this would not happen."
At this point, Le Guiren actually became nervous: "Your Majesty, tell me, has something happened to Concubine Ning? Is someone trying to harm her child?"
Seeing her like this, Concubine Chen hurried forward and pulled her hand, gently comforting her: "Don't worry, sister. His Majesty has already investigated. Concubine Ning really lost the child because of her poor health. Now the palace is very stable, and no one will harm you."
"Really?" Guiren Le stared at Guifei Chen with eyes wide open, but Guifei Chen still frowned. It is said that pregnant women should keep a good mood and not be overly anxious. Looking at Guiren Le's current condition, it is not good.
The palace has already lost the children of Concubine Fang and Concubine Ning. If Concubine Le can no longer keep this pregnancy, it will be a disaster for her to manage the harem.
He immediately calmed down and comforted her again: "I think Miss Le is worrying too much. How about I ask His Majesty for permission to invite Miss Le's mother to visit her in the palace?"
Upon hearing this, Lady Le smiled, but immediately retracted her smile: "Don't joke, Your Majesty. I know that only when a majesty above the rank of concubine is pregnant can her family members visit her in the palace, and this is only possible when the pregnancy is advanced..."
Lady Le's voice became lower and lower, and in the end, it was impossible to hear what she said.
Seeing her like this, Concubine Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, since I have raised this matter, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, okay?"
Seeing the sincerity in Concubine Chen's eyes, Lady Le nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Concubine Chen patted her hands again and said, "In this case, you can put your mind at ease and wait for the birth."
After Le Guiren left Qingyun Palace, Jin Xin couldn't help but mutter, "Did Le Guiren hear these nonsense from Ning Fei? Ning Fei is also right. She knew that Le Guiren was pregnant, but she still said these nonsense. What if she really hurt Le Guiren's child? What should we do?"
Concubine Chen Guifei fell into deep thought after hearing Jinxin's unintentional words.
Yes, what on earth was Concubine Ning thinking when she said this? Was she really just complaining?
