Chapter 608: The competition for favor is coming?

Helian Yue had an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in his heart. He had just left state affairs and went to the harem not long ago. Now there was a group of old ministers standing in the Xuanzheng Hall, and he didn't want to abandon them again. He could only patiently discuss with the ministers again. Finally, he made the final decision and settled those urgent matters. Then he signaled everyone to disperse.

After everyone left, Helian Yue immediately signaled Fu Tai to take the wheel.

"Let's go to Yuxiu Palace."

Fu Tai didn't think it was a big deal. After all, such a big thing had just happened and the emperor must still be thinking about it. If it weren't for the old ministers still waiting in Xuan Zheng Hall and the empress dowager watching, the emperor would have chased after Concubine Lang as soon as she returned to the palace.

Although others may not know, Fu Tai also knows the inside story.

Concubine Lang did not eat the safflower porridge at the beginning, nor did she harm her body. Concubine Lang said in Lianrui Palace that she beat Concubine Lian because she was angry about this matter, which was an excuse.

Then why was he beaten into a pig-like shape?

Futai was curious, and the emperor became even more curious.

Now that I have finally dealt with state affairs, shouldn't I go find someone to ask for clarification?

As soon as the news of Helian Yue's departure from Yuxiu Palace reached the harem, Gu Qingquan found out about it. He immediately dropped the silver gun in his hand, wiped his face casually, and hurried over with his men.

When Helian Yue arrived at Yuxiu Palace, the gate of Yuxiu Palace was already closed.

But when the Holy Chariot arrives, the door must be opened.

However, just when Fu Tai was about to shout for the door to be opened, he heard several footsteps not far away, accompanied by Concubine Quan's hurried greetings.

"Greetings to the Emperor."

Helian Yue looked at Gu Qingquan coming over and raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not think much about it. After all, Gu Qingquan and Si Linglong had a good relationship. It was normal for her to come and visit after such a big thing happened today, so he nodded to her and motioned to stand up.

Fu Tai didn't think much about it and was about to knock on the door, but he didn't expect Gu Qingquan to suddenly speak, "Your Majesty, Concubine Lang just asked to be confined today, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Your Majesty to come over."

Gu Qingquan always spoke directly, and Helian Yue was also used to it, but the meaning of her words still made him a little stunned.

Not only him, but also Fu Tai who was standing next to him was stunned.

What does Empress Tsuen mean?

Does this mean that the Emperor is not allowed to visit Concubine Lang?

Aren't the two of them on a normal day on good terms? Why is it that now that Concubine Lang is in trouble, Concubine Quan is still trying to stop the emperor from seeing her?

Could it be that...

Is Concubine Tsuen finally going to put down her arsenal and seriously compete for favor? !

Helian Yue was also puzzled.

If it were in the past, he might have had the same doubts as Fu Tai.

But knowing clearly Gu Qingquan's "loyalty" to him, he now looked at her as if she were his own secret guard.

It was at this moment that Helian Yue finally realized something was wrong.

"You came here not to see her, but to meet me?"

Gu Qingquan's face remained calm and he only said, "Concubine Lang caused a big disturbance in Lianrui Palace today, and now she has asked to be confined. The emperor is worried, which is understandable, but the emperor just met Concubine Lang not long ago, and now her palace is closed, and the emperor wants to come. If the Queen Mother hears about it, she will inevitably be unhappy."

Gu Qingquan said, looking straight at Helian Yue, and added, "When I say I don't like you, I'm not saying I don't like you, the emperor, but Concubine Lang."

Today Helian Yue has taken the responsibility for Si Linglong, and Si Linglong has asked to be confined, so the matter is over and the Queen Mother will no longer have any opinion about Si Linglong.

But when the empress dowager heard that the emperor had finished his state affairs in such a hurry and came back to look for someone, she naturally would not blame the emperor for doting on his concubine too much. She would only think that Si Linglong was seducing the emperor.

The more anxiously the Emperor shows his care for Si Linglong at this moment, the more the Empress Dowager will be displeased with Si Linglong in her heart, even if she doesn't say it on her face. Now that the Empress Dowager has returned to the palace, the harem is ownerless and the Empress Dowager is the person in charge of the harem. If the Empress Dowager feels dissatisfied with her, it will definitely not be a good thing for Si Linglong.

Although Gu Qingquan did not say it explicitly, Helian Yue understood what she meant.

Fu Tai, who was standing by, was even more shrewd. He secretly agreed with what Concubine Quan said.

She is truly worthy of being the daughter of Duke Zhongyong; her methods of competing for favor are different from those of other concubines.

Other concubines would only point out the faults of this concubine in an attempt to make the emperor dissatisfied with her, but Concubine Quan did the opposite. Instead of saying that Concubine Lang was bad, she said that the emperor's actions were not good for Concubine Lang. The more the emperor liked Concubine Lang, the more he would consider her.

I have to say, this is really brilliant.

It seems that he still didn't see through this lady in the past.

Now that she has convinced the Emperor, is it time to let him go to her palace?

Fu Tai was speculating in his mind, but his face showed no clues. Gu Qingquan naturally had no idea what was going on in the mind of the eunuch chief, and just stared at the emperor in front of him.

Helian Yue met Gu Qingquan's gaze and finally listened to her words.

He turned his head and looked at the closed palace gate in front of him. He listened carefully, but did not hear the heartbeat of the man inside. After a while, he turned back to the chariot and signaled to Fu Tai, "Drive back to Xuanzheng Hall."

Gu Qingquan knelt slightly and said, "I respectfully send off the emperor."

Futai: ...

Hmm? It seems to be different from what he thought?
