Chapter 196 The Tyrant Who Kills People Like Crazy x The Unfavored Concubine in the Cold Palace 12

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please wake up. Something big has happened in Yuxian Palace."

Aunt Qiao was sleeping soundly, but she couldn't stand being rocked by Huan'er anymore, so she opened her eyes.

Enduring the pain in my waist, I sat up and said unhappily, "Can't you wait until I wake up?"

It’s really hard to put it into words. I have to do it once a night, and once a night, it takes a whole night. It’s killing me.

How could Huan'er wait until Aunt Qiao woke up? "My queen, if I don't tell you about this right away, I'm afraid I'll suffocate to death."

Aunt Qiao waved her hands helplessly. "Okay, then tell me, what happened to Yuxian Palace?"

Seeing that Aunt Qiao was finally willing to listen, Huan Er quickly said, "The Concubine Xian is dead. She died tragically."

"Hmm?" Aunt Qiao was puzzled. Her husband had been with her all night yesterday. It must not have been her husband who killed her. She died miserably. Could it be Changfeng? What did Concubine Xian do to anger her husband?

"What time is it?"

"Chenshi?" Huan'er answered the question without hesitation.

Now, Aunt Qiao was so angry that she almost died. She only slept for two hours after all the trouble.

He covered his head with the quilt and said in a humming voice, "Huan'er, next time when I sleep, don't disturb me no matter how big the matter is, otherwise I will be angry with you."

Jin Jin Qiao didn't care about Concubine Xian's tragic death. Concubine Xian had been very unhappy with her when she lived in the cold palace. But it was a different story in the entire harem. When the empress dowager heard about it, she was very scared.

The Empress Dowager was anxiously waiting for Nanny Qing in Ci'an Palace. She waited for a full half hour before she saw Nanny Qing come back.

"Mammy, what's going on?"

Nanny Qing's legs were weak and she held on to the table with shaking hands. "Your Majesty, I have never seen such a horrible death. The eyeballs are about to pop out of their heads."

The Queen Mother collapsed on the chair when she heard this. "He was able to kill Concubine Xian silently. This person is really not a simple person. Madam, why is there so much unrest in the palace recently?"

"Why"

Aunt Qing didn't care whether the palace was peaceful or not. She was worried about the safety of Ci'an Palace. "Empress Dowager, please send more people to protect Ci'an Palace. It doesn't matter if Concubine Xian died, but you must not let anything happen to you, Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother pondered and asked, "What did the Emperor say about this matter?"

Speaking of this, Nanny Qing became worried. "The Emperor... The Emperor said not to care."

"What? A concubine died in the palace for no reason, and the emperor said we don't need to care about it?" The empress dowager obviously didn't believe it. No matter how much the emperor disliked Concubine Xian, he couldn't just ignore it.

"No, I will go and ask him what the emperor means when he leaves the court later."

"Madame Qing, call the Queen over. I will go ask her with her."

However, the Queen's reaction was beyond Nanny Qing's expectations.

After hearing what Madam Qing said, the Queen just smiled and shook her head, "Madam, it's better not to ask the Emperor."

The Queen Mother was also a woman who had lived in the palace for decades. How come her thoughts were becoming simpler and simpler? Since the Emperor said that it was not necessary to pay attention to this matter, then the death of Concubine Xian was closely related to the Emperor.

As for why Concubine Xian died, the Queen narrowed her eyes, recalling the moment when Concubine Xian spoke ill of Concubine Gui in Ci'an Palace, and the cold aura that flashed across her face.

"Forget it, Madam, I'll go see the Queen Mother. I have something to discuss with her."

The Queen Mother looked at the Queen who was drinking tea calmly, frowning in confusion, "Queen, what do you mean by this? You came to Cining Palace and didn't even tell me what you wanted to say."

"Mother, it's time for a new person to enter the palace. Ever since the noble concubine entered the palace, there has not been a single smooth day. I feel that the emperor must not be bewitched by the noble concubine." The queen raised her head indifferently, but the strong jealousy in her eyes was very obvious.

The emperor clearly knew that the imperial concubine had been disrespectful to her in Qianlong Palace, but he didn't even ask a question and let the palace servants laugh at her.

"Hmm? But the matter of Concubine Xian has not been thoroughly investigated, and I am always uneasy in my heart."

The queen's eyes sparkled, and she continued, "Mother, I think the matter of Concubine Xian is closely related to Concubine Gui."

"Nothing like this happened in the palace when the noble concubine was in the cold palace. How come the virtuous concubine died as soon as the noble concubine left the cold palace?"

The more the Queen Mother thought about it, the more confused her mind became. She waved her hands helplessly and said, "It seems that I am really old and my brain is not working anymore. I am having a headache thinking about it."

"Forget it, Queen, if you are going to select women to enter the palace, please choose those who are easy to give birth to. I am anxious to have a grandson."

Nanny Fang supported the empress as they walked along the path in the garden, but they had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is already a difficult person to deal with. If you select some more noble ladies to enter the palace, wouldn't your position be even more precarious?"

The Queen slowly exhaled and said, "Mammy, since I can no longer gain the Emperor's favor, I might as well do what an Empress should do. If the Imperial Concubine wants to dominate the family, it depends on whether I agree or not."

"Give orders to the Imperial Palace to hold a flower viewing banquet in two days. All daughters of noble families, whether legitimate or illegitimate, can attend as long as they are good-looking."

Nanny Fang sighed and shook her head. The queen has changed. She is no longer the dignified and elegant queen.

Right Prime Minister's Mansion

The Right Prime Minister walked to his wife's yard in a very good mood, and when he saw Chun'er there, he burst into laughter.

"Chun'er, your father was just worrying about how to send you to the palace, and now this opportunity has come."

Chun Er smiled and said, "Father, are you talking about the flower viewing banquet that the Empress is going to hold?"

"That's right," the right prime minister stroked his beard and said, "I heard that Concubine Xian died tragically, and Concubine Gui was deeply favored by the emperor and lived in Qianlong Palace for several days. The Empress can't sit still anymore."

The Right Prime Minister's wife hesitated and said, "My Lord, I always feel that Chun'er will encounter danger when she enters the palace. I only have this one daughter, I am afraid..."

"Woman's kindness" The Right Prime Minister glanced at his wife and said, "My daughter, the Right Prime Minister, should have entered the palace as a concubine. If Chun'er had not been so young, the position of the principal concubine would have been Chun'er's."

Chun Er also coquettishly shook the arm of the Right Prime Minister's wife and said, "Mother, what father said is right. Chun Er is so beautiful and I think I am no worse than the Imperial Concubine. How can the Imperial Concubine be so favored by the Emperor?"

The Right Prime Minister's wife shook her head helplessly. She knew that her daughter was as ambitious as the Right Prime Minister, and no matter how much she tried to persuade her, it would be useless.

Qianlong Palace

Jin Jin Qiao leaned in Wan Chengsi's arms, completely exhausted. She had been tortured these past few days and had lost her temper, unable to resist. If Wan Chengsi hadn't used his magic power to relieve her every day, she would have been tortured to death.

"Your little mouth is big enough to hold an oil bottle. I promise you'll have a good sleep today."

"Really?" Aunt Qiao obviously didn't believe it. Wan Chengsi had promised several times, including this time, but he broke his promise every time.

Wan Chengsi scratched Qiao Jinjin's nose lovingly. "This time it's true. The Queen is going to hold a flower viewing banquet tomorrow. Madam, do you want to go and see it?"
