Chapter 28 The Emperor is Heartless and Childless, and the Concubines Make a Big Trouble



After Xu Xueluo dressed and made up, she went to the warehouse in person.

The warehouse was filled with the dowry she brought from home, as well as the rewards given by the empress dowager.

Since entering the palace, she has never received any rewards from the emperor, which makes her feel sad.

When a woman enters the palace, the emperor becomes her heaven.

But what is her heaven now?

The emperor doesn't even look at her now, so he can't be her god.

She is now protected by the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother is old after all. How many years can she live?

If she still cannot get the emperor's favor, her later life will become very miserable as her beauty fades.

Perhaps she could also obey the emperor and leave the palace. In fact, leaving the palace is the best outcome for a woman who is not favored in the palace.

But she was unwilling to give up!

The emperor was twenty-five years old and she was twenty years old.

She entered the palace at the age of fifteen.

Have five years of my youth been wasted in the palace?

Besides, if she leaves the palace, it will be hard for her to marry a good man at the age of 20. And since she was released from the palace, she can only be someone's concubine.

She would rather be a lone phoenix than the leader of a flock of chickens.

There was a box in the warehouse. Xu Xueluo pointed at it and said, "Open it."

Suyun opened the box.

Xu Xueluo said, "Take out the small wooden box at the bottom."

Suyun helped Xu Xueluo manage the warehouse. She knew there was a small wooden box inside, and she also knew that this small wooden box was not registered.

The small wooden box was taken out and Suyun opened it.

Xu Xueluo looked at the small medicine bottle inside and said, "The powder in here can drive people crazy. You can secretly put it into the incense burner in the Buddhist temple. Then find someone to spread the word that the Buddha has appeared and that Concubine An is the reincarnation of a fox demon. The Buddha wants to take her away. The Queen Mother and the Emperor will definitely believe it."

Suyun's hands were shaking a little as she held the small wooden box. She knew very well that she had to do whatever the Imperial Concubine arranged, no matter whether it was good or bad.

Otherwise, she would not survive.

Several maids that the imperial concubine had brought from home were secretly executed for various reasons, and she did not want to die.

Xu Xueluo saw Su Yun was a little scared, so she smiled and comforted her: "As long as you can complete this task, I can give you half of the treasures in my storehouse."

The palace maid's eyes widened instantly. There were more than 500 large boxes in the warehouse. In addition to hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and silver, they were all filled with extremely precious jewelry, spices and fabrics.

If she could really own half of this warehouse, then even if she could never get close to the emperor, when she turned 25 and was released from the palace, she could marry into a good family with these treasures.

She was born in a small family. If she had no money and was old, she could only marry a poor bachelor who couldn't find a wife, or become a concubine of a rich family.

She must get half of this warehouse, and when she leaves the palace, she will become the mistress of a wealthy family.

"My lady, I will do this for you right away."

Xu Xueluo smiled and said, "Just go ahead and do it. Once you're done, I'll immediately give you half of the treasures in the treasury. If you want to leave the palace and get married, I'll also ask the Queen Mother to let you go."

Su Yun knelt down towards Xu Xueluo and said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty! I will definitely take care of this matter for you."

After breakfast, Xu Xueluo took Suyun to the Cining Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.

At this time, Queen Wei Ruyan and a group of concubines had already arrived.

The Empress Dowager is not feeling well, so the Empress and the concubines will definitely give her a proper visit.

After Xu Xueluo entered the hall, Suyun quietly slipped away to the Buddhist hall.

Since Xu Xueluo was the Empress Dowager's niece, she often stayed in the Cining Palace, and Suyun had a very good relationship with the palace maids in the Cining Palace.

The maid in charge of guarding the Buddhist hall was named Nianzhen. She was sitting in a small compartment at the entrance to the hall. When she heard the door open, she went to open it a crack and saw Suyun, the imperial concubine's personal maid. She asked softly, "Suyun, what's going on?"

Suyun whispered, "I made your favorite candied red cherries and poria cocos cakes myself. Go and have some!" She pointed to the corridor outside, "They're right there."

Nianzhen said, "We still have to watch here! We don't have time to eat." Even though she said that, she felt greedy just by listening to it.

Suyun slipped through the crack of the door and said, "I'll watch over it for you, you go and eat."

Normally they would help each other, so Nianzhen naturally didn't think much about it and went out, leaving Suyun to sit here and not disturb Concubine An.

Suyun waited for Nianzhen to go out, then sat on the stone railing on the corridor and ate candied cakes. She quietly looked towards the Buddhist hall.

Yu Jinshu was sitting at the desk copying scriptures, while Xiao Chao was grinding ink beside him.

The temple is so big that they didn’t pay attention to look over here.

Suyun specially prepared a very small incense burner.

She poured the insane powder into the incense burner, lit a stick of incense to ignite the powder, then covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, quietly walked into the Buddhist hall, placed the incense burner on a table, and then quickly returned to the small compartment.

Suyun kept covering her mouth and nose with a wet handkerchief in the cubicle until she heard some noise in the Buddhist hall. She was so scared that she quickly opened the door and went out.

At the desk under the Buddha statue, since Xiao Chao was there, Yu Jinshu didn't want Xiao Chao to know about the existence of the system, so he copied the Buddhist scriptures himself.

But at this moment, Xiao Chao Yanmo's hands were shaking.

Yu Jinshu's gaze followed Xiao Chao's hand to Xiao Chao's face, and saw that Xiao Chao's big eyes were wide open, and his pupils seemed unable to focus, which looked a little scary.

"Xiao Chao, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Chao didn't say anything, but suddenly glared at Yu Jinshu. He threw the brush in his hand and pounced on Yu Jinshu.

Yu Jinshu was startled, but fortunately she had learned grappling and fighting techniques, and she subdued Xiao Chao in a few moves.

Don’t say it, Xiao Chao, who is usually weak, is very strong at this moment.

Xiao Chao seemed to be crazy and had serious violent tendencies.

What's going on?

Xiao Chao looked very much like his mother Wen when she went crazy.

Wen went crazy because Zou poisoned her.

At this time, Yu Jinshu noticed the strange fragrance filling his nose.

She had just smelled this strange fragrance. Now thinking about it, Xiao Chao became like this as soon as the strange fragrance appeared. Could it be that this strange fragrance is poisonous?

Never mind for now, quickly buy two detoxification pills from the system.

When Yu Jinshu got the detoxification pills, he quickly stuffed one into Xiao Chao's pocket and took one himself.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Chao took the detoxification pill, she became normal and her eyes became clear.

It seems that there is something wrong with that strange fragrance.

She had no reaction to the strange fragrance because she had a system to protect her, which made her special. In addition, she had taken a detoxification pill before, so she was immune to all poisons.

Just like the pair of musk-soaked earrings given to her by Queen Wei Ruyan, she was never afraid of them and sometimes would wear them specially when she was going to meet Wei Ruyan.

But to be on the safe side, she still took the detoxification pill.

Yu Jinshu quickly got up and went to look for the source of the strange fragrance.

And it’s very strange, why didn’t the palace maid Nianzhen react when there was such a big commotion in the Buddhist hall?
