Chapter 2097 Rumors can kill people without being noticed
Upon hearing this, Wu Wan's heart skipped a beat.
Her face suddenly darkened, her eyes were filled with viciousness, and she said coldly: "I know who is behind this."
Chen Lianxiang hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"
Wu Wan gritted her teeth and uttered a few words: "Besides the Imperial Concubine, who else?"
"Your Highness..."
Chen Lianxiang recalled the scene in Yonghe Palace that day and murmured, "When the emperor entered Yonghe Palace that day, he didn't talk much with the imperial concubine."
"What do you know!"
Wu Wan angrily said, "This bitch, ever since she appeared, everything has gone wrong for me. She opposes me at every turn."
“…”
"After all these years, if it weren't for her seductive charm that seduced the Emperor and usurped his favor, the harem might have only had two children, the Prince of Wei and her damned daughter?"
“…”
"This time, the emperor is only taking her to the northwest. No one else can get close to her."
“…”
"She's pregnant with the Dragonborn now, so the Emperor will naturally visit her often. Who can control what she says?"
Thinking of this, Wu Wan bit her nails hard and said, "The emperor has been reluctant to execute Gao, I'm afraid she is the one who is obstructing it."
"She's causing trouble, what do you want?"
"How does she want to..."
A cold light flashed in Wu Wan's eyes.
You must know that this incident affected not only the reputation of King Wei, but also the reputation of the Gu family behind the imperial concubine. She even intended to provoke discord between the queen and the imperial concubine.
If the imperial concubine really suspected her, she must want to find out the truth and put her to death.
Then of course she didn't want Gao to die.
but--
Wu Wan snorted coldly again. Now all the evidence pointed only to the Gao family and had nothing to do with her. Besides, she had her father behind her. How could she, a concubine, and the newly rising Gu family move such a towering backer?
But it's really annoying that she always does this behind my back.
Wu Wan said, "We have to think of a way."
Chen Lianxiang said: "Your Majesty wants to -"
"Get rid of her!"
“……!”
Chen Lianxiang's heart skipped a beat, but her expression remained calm. Wu Wan looked up at her with a hint of coldness on her face, and said, "Don't forget, your father and your family are only able to have a place in the world thanks to my family."
Chen Lianxiang lowered her head: "I dare not forget."
Wu Wan said, "That's good to know."
“…”
"From today on, you will find someone to keep an eye on the Imperial Concubine. She must find a way to report back to me on her every move every day."
"this--"
Shen Lianxiang was a little embarrassed.
Not to mention anything else, she was just a concubine and had no great ability in the palace. Even if she wanted to use money to hire people, her family background and the salary from the palace were not enough.
Besides, how could a mere concubine like her track the imperial concubine's whereabouts?
She could only carefully express her difficulties.
Wu Wan glanced at her coldly and said, "Useless thing."
Chen Lianxiang lowered her head, her thick eyelashes covering the soft light in her eyes. Wu Wan said impatiently: "Don't worry about money. What I lack here is money. As for your rank——"
As she spoke, she glanced at Chen Lianxiang.
Chen Lianxiang was born with a gentle and weak appearance, just like her name, which made people feel pity for her. However, the emperor had entered the harem too rarely in recent years. Even the queen and she had only had a few turns, let alone these newcomers?
So she said, "I don't have the final say on promotions; that's the Emperor and Empress' business."
“…”
"Think of a solution yourself."
Chen Lianxiang said, "I understand."
After saying that, she took a step back and said to Wu Wan, "Then I'll take my leave."
Just as she turned to leave, Wu Wan suddenly said, "You may not be able to do other things well, but I want to make the Imperial Concubine unhappy. This shouldn't be difficult for you to do, right?"
Chen Lianxiang looked at her: "Your Majesty is saying——"
Wu Wan said coldly, "I just want to make her unhappy. I don't want to see her acting so domineeringly in the palace."
“…”
Chen Lianxiang thought about it and said, “This is not difficult.”
"Oh? What do you say?"
"My Lady, the sergeant kills with a pen, the middle sergeant kills with his tongue, and the corporal kills with a stone plate."
Wu Wan got a headache when she heard these flowery words. She frowned and said, "Speak human language!"
Chen Lianxiang said: "In short, the most useful thing in the palace is probably rumors."
"gossip……?"
"Yes, rumors can kill people without being noticed."
“…”
"If your Majesty wants to make her unhappy, this is one way to do it."
Wu Wan raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay, let's use this method. You go down and do it."
"yes."
Only after Chen Lianxiang left did Wu Wan sigh and lean back on the couch. Although everything had been explained, she still felt a little restless.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have sacrificed Gao Yurong so easily.
After all, she is of a high rank and has been with me for so long, so I am quite familiar with her. Now that a new person has come, it would be very troublesome just to upgrade her rank, not to mention other things.
"well……"
She sighed deeply.

On this day, Xue Yun went to Yiku Palace again to check Nan Yan's pulse.
After checking her pulse, she thought for a moment and said gently, "Your Majesty has been pregnant for over eight months and will soon be giving birth. You must rest now and avoid excessive worry."
“…”
"If you don't rest well now, your majesty won't be able to keep up with the delivery."
Nan Yan couldn't help but sigh with a wry smile after hearing her words: "I know this, too."
It's just that recent events have made it difficult for her to calm down.
Xue Yun glanced at her and said in confusion, "I'm sorry, your humble servant, for saying too much. I heard that Miss Gu's matter has been resolved. The case has been solved, and Your Majesty should be relieved."
Ran Xiaoyu stood aside and gave her a blank look.
Nan Yan glared at Ran Xiaoyu before smiling and saying, "This matter has been resolved."
“…”
"But this isn't the only thing that worries me."
Outsiders thought the problem was solved, but she knew in her heart that this was only on the surface. Not to mention that Chengqian Palace was still closed, Qi Qing's future was also unknown. Just the problem between her and the Queen had not been resolved yet.
Xue Yun looked at her and didn't ask any more questions.
Just at this moment, Nian Qiu walked in from outside and was talking excitedly with Tingfu.
Ran Xiaoyu said angrily, "Where have you two gone crazy again? You didn't even sweep the yard or water the flowers."
Nian Qiu hurried over to apologize, but said with a smile: "My lady, it's very lively outside."
Nan Yan asked, "Busy? What's bustling?"
