Chapter 54 Why must I be a favorite concubine?
The two were dragged away by soldiers.
The street finally became quiet again.
Lieutenant General Zhang, who had just been in the crowd, immediately wrote a letter to inform General Gu about this matter.
General Gu opened the letter and learned that Gu Xiyan had been captured, and that Concubine Su Lan was still alive and was currently in Yu State.
General Gu felt that this matter was of great importance, so he immediately sent someone to write a letter and sent it back to Beijing to tell Wu Zhanjun the news.
Wu Zhanjun has had a hard time lately.
On the one hand, he was trapped in the sorrow of Su Lan's death, and on the other hand, he kept thinking about the betrayal of Su Nan and Gu Xiyan, which made him extremely angry.
He had no intention of attending court.
The Empress Dowager and Yuan were secretly fighting with each other.
The Queen Mother had been secretly trying to kill Yuan.
While protecting herself, Yuan kept leaving clues to help Wu Zhanjun discover the true face of the Queen Mother, and slowly told Wu Zhanjun everything that happened in the past.
What happened back then was actually the final fight between the Empress Dowager and Yuan for the position of Empress.
Although the empress dowager's mother's family was better off, Yuan had given birth to a son, while the empress dowager was newly pregnant at the time and had learned from a high monk that the baby in her belly was most likely a daughter.
The Queen Mother felt that if she gave birth to a daughter, she would completely lose.
So she thought of a way to have a miscarriage and frame Yuan.
Yuan also intended to get rid of the empress dowager's child, fearing that the child would threaten the status of her own child.
So they added one plan upon another and one poison upon another.
This directly led to the Queen Mother's miscarriage and she was unable to have children afterwards.
The late emperor felt sorry for the empress dowager, and in order to appease her maternal family, he ordered that Yuan's newborn child be given to the empress dowager and that Yuan be sent to the cold palace.
To put it bluntly, the Empress Dowager and Yuan both had their own plans and had done bad things.
In the end, no one can be blamed for this result.
Just like what the Queen Mother has always said, how can you survive in this harem without being cunning?
The Queen Mother originally thought that this would be the end of Yuan's life, so she ignored her. However, she didn't expect that the appearance of Zhao Miaomiao would turn things out like this.
Thinking of Zhao Miaomiao, the Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little angry and a little sorry.
When Aunt Xue heard the Empress Dowager sigh, she hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, are you thinking about that thing again?"
The Queen Mother said, "Do you think I was wrong to treat that child the way I did?"
The Queen Mother also thought Zhao Miaomiao was dead, so she felt very sorry.
"I knew from the beginning that this was a simple child, innocent and kind.
So he wanted to keep her in the palace, by the emperor's side.
But she... Alas, it's my fault.
A child like this really can't keep a secret."
Aunt Xue comforted the Empress Dowager: "Your Majesty, please don't think about it anymore. This is everyone's fate."
The Queen Mother sighed again and asked, "Your Majesty, did you not eat again today?"
Nanny Xue nodded.
"We can't go on like this. Come on, let's go see the Emperor."
These days, Wu Zhanjun has been locking himself in Yu Lan Palace and not allowing anyone to approach.
In the entire Yulan Palace, only Eunuch Gao and Shaoyao were serving.
Wu Zhanjun sat beside Zhao Miaomiao's bed, staring at the bed curtains in a daze, and scenes of his time with Zhao Miaomiao, those few past events, flashed through his mind.
We met by the cold palace pond, fished together, and ate together...
Zhao Miaomiao has always been different from others. She does her own thing. Although people often cannot understand what she says or does, they can still feel her frankness and cuteness.
How could such a lively and energetic person die?
Why do you want to die?
Wu Zhan couldn't figure it out, so he became even sadder.
At this time, the guard who delivered the letter arrived.
When the guards arrived outside Yulan Palace, they saw Eunuch Gao and asked, "Eunuch Gao, is the emperor in there? General Gu sent me a letter regarding the affairs of the Yu Kingdom."
Eunuch Gao glanced into the room in embarrassment, then shook his head and said to the guard who delivered the letter, "Thank you for your hard work. Give me the letter first."
The guard hesitated a bit, "This letter is very important. It's not just about the war in Yu State, but also about the Imperial Concubine and General Gu..."
Eunuch Gao caught the key point, "Noble Concubine? Noble Concubine Su? What's going on with her?"
The guard replied: "Noble Concubine Su is not dead."
Eunuch Gao was overjoyed and immediately opened the door, "Quick! Go in and tell the emperor the news."
Someone opened the door and came in. Wu Zhanjun was very annoyed and was about to lose his temper.
At this time, Eunuch Gao ran over happily and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is not dead! Look, this is a letter from General Gu. The Imperial Concubine is in Yu State right now!"
"What?!"
Wu Zhanjun took the letter, read it carefully, and then immediately ordered, "Come here, write back to General Gu, no matter what the cost, you must bring the concubine back!!"
The news happened to be heard by the Queen Mother who came over.
Aunt Xue was very surprised. "The imperial concubine is not dead? How could that be? She had nowhere to escape, and there is also a body. Where did the body come from?"
The Queen Mother thought for a moment with a sullen face, "I understand. It was that bitch in the cold palace who helped! Humph, that bitch finally has something on me. Let's see how I'm going to kill her next."
