That night, Bai Yuzhi went to bed alone without waiting for Emperor Qin Huan to summon her. The Queen Mother met with him after he left court. Although their relationship wasn't as close as that of an ordinary mother and son, he still respected her, so he wouldn't visit her again tonight.
Things turned out just as Bai Yuzhi had expected. Emperor Qin Huan went to Guanju Palace at night.
In Guanju Palace, Concubine Rong was graceful and elegant. She stood in the hall to receive the emperor, a smile of surprise on her face.
"Your Majesty, I respectfully welcome you!"
Emperor Qin Huan was still somewhat satisfied with Concubine Rong, although not as much as he was with Bai Yuzhi, but he simply preferred weaker women. Moreover, in the previous few years, Emperor Qin Huan had placed his hopes of having children on Concubine Rong, so such feelings could still withstand the shock.
Emperor Qin Huan wanted to step forward and help Concubine Rong, but out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of someone who shouldn't be there. The woman was dressed in shimmering brocade, and her hairpins and rings sparkled. She wasn't a palace maid, but a concubine.
It turned out to be Concubine Jiang who was supposed to be in the side hall of Yiku Palace at this time.
"Your Majesty, your humble servant Jiang, came here tonight to chat with Consort Rong, but I did not intend to disturb your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Emperor Qin Huan had no idea what it meant to be gentle and considerate to women. He even said that his moods were unpredictable. He didn't care at all that Concubine Jiang had been his concubine for many years. "You knew you were disturbing me, but why didn't you just get out of here? Do you want me to bring a horse to drag you out?"
Concubine Jiang was so frightened that her face turned pale. She knelt down in panic to apologize. Even Concubine Rong was shocked.
In reality, Concubine Jiang hadn't come here on her own initiative; she'd been invited by Concubine Rong. She'd anticipated that the Empress Dowager would ask Emperor Qin Huan to summon her to Guanju Palace, so she'd slipped the drug into the tea to coax Concubine Jiang over, hoping to get the job done today. But she had no idea that Emperor Qin Huan would be so furious.
If Bai Yuzhi knew about this, she would tell Rong Fei. There was no other way. Do you know why she traveled through time to complete the mission at this critical juncture? It was because from the day she traveled through time, the progress of Emperor Qin Huan's perversion increased exponentially, and every second was a new mad batch.
Especially today, Emperor Qin Huan suppressed his emotions and came to Guanju Palace to listen to the Queen Mother's words, which was like walking into trouble.
Concubine Rong forced herself to remain calm. There was only one pill, and she had already given it to Concubine Jiang. If Emperor Qin Huan could not favor Concubine Jiang tonight, all her preparations would be in vain.
Thinking of this, Concubine Rong forced herself to maintain her gentle smile: "Your Majesty, why are you so angry? I am not feeling well tonight. Why don't you let Concubine Jiang take care of me?"
Emperor Qin Huan was able to become emperor at a young age and unify the world. His wisdom and strategy were naturally beyond the reach of his concubines. At this point, how could he not understand that it was Concubine Rong who set up the scheme, and Concubine Jiang was just a tool.
It was not uncommon for concubines to recommend new people to serve in order to consolidate their favor. Even Bai Yuzhi was recommended by the queen.
But even Concubine Rong came reluctantly, let alone Concubine Jiang.
If the Queen Mother had been promised that she would come to Guanju Palace, then Emperor Qin Huan would not have gone out today. But he was the emperor, and he was always the one who made others unhappy. Concubine Rong was just an ordinary concubine. If Emperor Qin Huan wanted to, it would make no difference whether she had the title of concubine or not.
Pulling Concubine Jiang over, Emperor Qin Huan almost dragged Concubine Jiang into Concubine Rong's bedroom in front of Concubine Rong's astonished gaze. Then the door of the bedroom was closed and Wang Chonghai walked over.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty wants you to rest in a side hall of the Yikun Palace for one night."
Bai Yuzhi had no idea how much humiliation Rong Fei endured that night before entering the side hall of the Yiku Palace. She only learned the news the next morning.
Now the two first-class palace maids serving Bai Yuzhi are Jintai and Yinting. Jintai is in charge of dressing up, while Yinting waits by the side to discuss the matter with Bai Yuzhi.
"You mean, Concubine Jiang stayed in Guanju Palace to serve the emperor, but Concubine Rong was sent here by His Majesty?"
"In reply to the beautiful lady, that's exactly what I said."
Bai Yuzhi had never thought that such a thing would happen. She didn't know why Concubine Jiang was summoned by Concubine Rong. Logically, Concubine Rong couldn't have not thought that she would serve him in bed last night, but the fact that she was willing to do so even at the risk of angering Emperor Qin Huan was enough to show that there must be a big conspiracy hidden in it.
But Bai Yuzhi is now very curious, if this noble and proud Concubine Rong knew that this conspiracy would make her lose face so much, would she still do it?
A second-rank concubine was actually expelled from her own palace. This must have been more painful for Emperor Qin Huan than killing Concubine Rong directly.
It seems that the world's villain is the world's villain. This kind of madman who can destroy the world will not shake the heroine's halo in the slightest.
Although it was funny, Bai Yuzhi always felt uneasy when she thought about Concubine Jiang living in the same palace with her. Could it be that Concubine Rong's plan was aimed at her?
Bai Yuzhi secretly raised his guard, but since the incident, there had been no trace of anything. Aside from Concubine Rong's loss of face and the Queen's repeated stabs, the only change was that Concubine Jiang had become extremely arrogant after gaining favor, and even became one of the few concubines in the palace who could take Bai Yuzhi away for a few days of his bed.
However, Bai Yuzhi had reason to suspect that Emperor Qin Huan had not yet vented his anger, and that he was praising Concubine Jiang just to embarrass Concubine Rong.
The most surprising thing is that even at this point, Concubine Rong still did not have any conflict with Concubine Jiang.
The brain of this Concubine Jiang may not be as big as a walnut. Once she came to power, she became extremely arrogant. She even looked down on Concubine Rong, whom she had previously favored. Every day, apart from showing off in front of other concubines of lower rank, she would also say a few jealous words to Bai Yuzhi, who was more favored than her.
