Chapter 67: Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum

Of course Lu Xingwan couldn't swallow this.

[You are so good, Concubine De. You used to sow discord between my father and mother in the harem. Now that you are in this cold palace and can't see anyone else, you actually start to sow discord between others.]

[I will ask my mother to search your palace carefully some other day to see if you have made any figurines for my mother.]

[Mother, you must be more sober and investigate carefully. As for the Third Prince, I have always thought that he has bad intentions. How come he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to be loyal to my eldest brother? I think this incident must be related to him.]

Concubine Chen Guifei naturally took Wanwan's words to heart.

Although many things have been avoided with Wanwan's help, it seems that many variables have emerged, and even many people Wanwan has never met have appeared. Now she can only be cautious and take one step at a time.

Only then can I protect myself and Wanwan in this palace.

Then he asked again, "Has anything else unusual happened in the past two days?"

"To reply to the Majesty, there is no more." Xiangyun shook her head, but suddenly seemed to remember something, "Yesterday afternoon, a little palace maid came. I don't know which palace she is from. The little palace maid whispered something to the Majesty."

"That's right." Xiangyun suddenly shouted.

It actually scared a few people.

Jinyu couldn't help but scold him: "Just say it, why are you shouting so loudly? If you scare Princess Yong'an, you won't be able to pay for it even if you have ten lives."

Lu Xingwan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

[My dear sister Jinyu, my dear sister, I am very brave and will not be scared to death. Why would you use ten lives to pay for it? ]

[But to be honest, although I was tricked into this story, I am actually lucky enough to be reborn as a princess.]

[I guess I must have done a lot of good things when I was cultivating immortality to have such a fate! ]

[If I were to be this little girl, wouldn't I have to keep my head pinned to my belt all the time? I'm really scared.]

[Humph! When I go back and find out who harmed me, I will thank him profusely! Then I will let Master teach that person a lesson.]

Xiangyun kowtowed again: "It's my fault."

She raised her head and looked at Concubine Chen Guifei: "Our young lady has been acting strange since that maid left. I called her several times but she didn't respond, and she even skipped dinner."

Concubine Chen Guifei said nothing more. She just stood up, walked to Xiangyun, and said softly, "If you want to save your life, don't tell anyone what I said today."

Xiangyun now had no one to rely on, so she could only pin her hopes on Concubine Chen. She nodded quickly and said, "I usually only take care of Concubine Fang's daily life, and I didn't find any problems."

Concubine Chen nodded and said in a slightly louder voice: "Please wait here for a while. I will report to His Majesty and then decide where you will go."

After saying this, he took Jinxin and Jinyu away from Puwen Hall.

Bai Zhi and Bai Wei, who were standing by, heard what Concubine Chen said, and saw Xiang Yun following closely behind Concubine Chen. They looked at Xiang Yun with a mocking look on their faces, "Your master's body is barely cold yet, and you're already busy trying to curry favor with Concubine Chen."

Xiangyun ignored him and just walked to her master's side and sat there.

As for Concubine Chen, after leaving the gate of Puwen Hall, Jinxin hurriedly walked to Concubine Chen's side and whispered, "Madam, do you think this maid is telling the truth?"

Concubine Chen nodded: "Nine out of ten, let the plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum come to my palace."

Jinxin saw that Concubine Chen's face was full of worry, so she hurriedly took the order.

Jinyu just followed Concubine Chen Guifei holding Lu Xingwan in her arms without saying a word.

But Lu Xingwan in her arms was already beaming with joy.

[It's so exciting. Today is really exciting. It seems that the key to the matter lies with that little palace maid. She must have said something to this noble lady that made her suddenly go crazy.]

[He was clearly having a pleasant conversation with Concubine De just that day, but in the blink of an eye, his attitude changed and they died together.]

[From the old stories, the struggles in the harem were nothing more than conspiracies and schemes. This kind of life-for-life fight is really... also rare. ]

Concubine Chen Guifei also agreed with Lu Xingwan's idea. That little palace maid was the key to this matter.

But the harem is so big, how can I find it?

Should I tell His Majesty about this?

When we returned to Qingyun Palace, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum were already waiting in the main hall.

Although Concubine Chen is playful, she rarely calls Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum together. If she gathers the four of them together, it must be because of something very important.

"Meiying and Lanying, go and find out which palace maid went to Puwen Hall and met Concubine Fang yesterday." Concubine Chen ordered.

He turned to look at Zhuying and Juying again: "Zhuying, go check who the Third Prince has been in contact with these days. Be sure to be careful and don't let anyone find out. Juying, go check on Noble Fang's family."

After that, he gave another instruction: "Don't worry if you can't find it, just be sure to remember not to let anyone find out what you are doing."

Seeing how cautious Concubine Chen was, several people also saluted with solemn expressions: "Don't worry, Miss."

Lan Ying was always the most active one. Seeing her young lady like this, in order to reassure her, she jokingly said, "Don't worry, young lady. Even the Dragon Shadow Guards around His Majesty are not as skilled as us."

Concubine Chen also smiled and nodded: "I know your abilities, be careful."

Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum quickly left Qingyun Palace.

Concubine Chen Guifei just breathed a sigh of relief: "This has just begun."

After saying this, he stood up and shook his head, as if trying to sober himself up: "Let's go to the study to wait for His Majesty."

Concubine Chen has not told anyone about this matter yet. Now that His Majesty has not left the court yet, this matter will surely spread quickly in the harem. Thinking of Concubine De's three children, she couldn't help but sigh again!

She was indeed a cold-hearted person in the past, but now that she has Wanwan, her feelings are a little different.

As for the Great Chu Emperor, after the morning court session, Meng Quande hurriedly followed him and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Chen is waiting in the Yu study."

The Great Chu Emperor looked at Meng Quande in surprise: "Why is she here?"

Ever since Concubine Ning came to Yu's study every day to take care of the health of Emperor Chu, Concubine Chen Gui came to Yu's study less often.

Due to the busy affairs of the previous dynasty, he had not entered the harem for half a month. Since the Spring Banquet, he had not seen Wanwan for a long time.

He did feel a little guilty for a moment, because thanks to Wanwan, he was able to deal with Prince Rong, Prime Minister Cui and others in a timely manner. Now the drought in the Great Chu Kingdom could be warned in advance, which was naturally Wanwan's credit.

Thinking of this, my steps quickened.

Meng Quande also followed quickly, saying as he walked: "I see that the noble concubine is very solemn, as if she has something important to say."

The Great Chu Emperor nodded and walked forward quickly.
