Maid: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Chu Zan walked away, looking back every few steps.
After leaving the Buddhist temple, he was thinking about how to prevent Jinshu from copying scriptures in the temple.
There seems to be no good way.
Chu Zan returned to the Qianqing Palace.
The Empress Dowager had no idea that the Emperor had gone to the Buddhist temple. She was dressing in her bedroom and asked her maid Miaozhu, "Which palace did the Emperor go to last night?"
Miaozhu said, "Empress Dowager, the Emperor didn't go anywhere last night. He was in the Palace of Heavenly Purity."
The Queen Mother frowned slightly and asked, "Have you summoned anyone to sleep with you?"
Miaozhu: "Replying to the Queen Mother, the Emperor hasn't summoned anyone to sleep with him."
The Queen Mother's face was filled with anger: "It seems that the Emperor really only favors Concubine An."
Miaozhu helped the Queen Mother put on her robes and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Queen Mother. It's only one night! The Emperor has been favoring Concubine An every day these days, so naturally he wouldn't want to favor anyone else for just one night. After a few more days, the Emperor will definitely feel lonely and might favor another concubine."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother's expression became a little better.
In the Imperial Noble Consort's Jinghe Palace, Xu Xueluo lay on the couch, still tucked in. She only half-awake as she opened her eyes and asked the maidservant, Suyun, who was waiting beside the couch, "Which house did the emperor go to last night?"
Su Yun said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor hasn't visited anyone, nor has he summoned anyone to sleep with him. He's staying in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. But I heard that before the hour of dawn today, the Emperor went to the Buddhist temple in the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility."
Xu Xueluo's mind instantly cleared up: "The Emperor actually went to the Buddhist temple so early. Could it be that he and Concubine An were having sex in the Buddhist temple? This is disrespectful to the Buddha."
Then he asked, "Does the Queen Mother know about this?"
Su Yun: "The Empress Dowager doesn't know. The eunuchs saw it and said that the Emperor stayed for a while and then came out. He didn't even go to greet the Empress Dowager."
Xu Xueluo said coldly, "The Empress Dowager must be informed of this. The Emperor would rather wait until dawn to go to the Buddhist temple to find Yu Jinshu than touch another woman. It seems that Yu Jinshu must die."
Suyun felt creepy when she heard this.
Every time the Imperial Noble Consort said this, someone would die soon after.
