Chapter 88 Disaster

On that day, the news that Master Yuanzun had entered the palace to speak out blessings for Lady Lang and that the emperor had stayed in a side hall to dine with Lady Lang spread to the harem, and the concubines who had originally suspected the existence of evil spirits fell silent.

The smart concubines all understood that this was the answer the emperor gave them.

"My Lady, is this the end of the ritual?"

In Concubine Tsuen's palace, the maid asked this question as she looked at Gu Qingquan who was wiping his gun in front of the couch.

Gu Qingquan's expression remained calm, and he never stopped wiping his gun. He spoke in a calm voice,

"If the emperor says it's over, then it should be over."

Linghua Palace is the residence of the emperor. The information inside is only real news if the emperor is willing to release it.

The emperor was unwilling to release some of the news, such as the fact that Si Linglong had been in a coma for three days and three nights, but not a single word of it was leaked.

Gu Qingquan had no opinion on which concubine his monarch wanted to favor.

All she needed to ensure was that the emperor's favorite concubine would not pose any threat to the emperor or the court.

And from her current observations, Lang Guiren's temperament has changed compared to before, and there are no signs of the evil concubine bringing disaster to the country for the time being, so there is naturally no need for her to take action.

If Lady Langgui makes any mistake in the future, she will be able to deal with her immediately.

As Gu Qingquan was thinking, a cold light flashed from the silver spear in his hand, which frightened the palace people nearby.

After a while, Gu Qingquan carefully put the silver gun into the box and whispered something with a hint of regret, "It's a pity that she didn't get pregnant."

When the palace maids heard the regretful tone of their queen, they felt as if she was not a concubine.

This is the emperor's mother.

Look how worried he is.

…

On the other side, Lianrui Palace.

Bai Qianqian listened to the news from the eunuch and sighed inwardly, her voice weak and regretful.

"Why has His Majesty suddenly become so devoted to Si Linglong?"

She even went so far as to invite Master Yuanzun to testify for her, giving no chance for anyone to use this as leverage in the future.

It was a waste of her efforts to push Concubine Li to the front, both openly and secretly.

Upon hearing this, the young eunuch hurriedly advised, "I think the emperor's interest in this noble lady is just temporary. If you are willing to put in some effort, the emperor's heart will naturally return to you."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qianqian glanced at the little eunuch on the ground.

In the past, she would have believed this.

But after seeing the emperor look at her with disgust twice, she was no longer sure.

It's not that she is unwilling to work hard, but the current emperor is really hard for her to figure out.

Pursing her lips, Bai Qianqian suddenly lowered her voice and asked the eunuch, "But did the prince have any other instructions?"

The young eunuch raised his head and looked at Bai Qianqian, with a cautious and respectful look, "Your Highness knows that Your Majesty is unwilling to compromise, but Your Majesty can only have a good life in the palace if she is favored."

When Bai Qianqian heard this, she subconsciously covered her chest and felt relieved.

He was indeed always worried about himself.

The young eunuch looked at Bai Qianqian's reaction and added, "The prince means that the queen can strive for a place in the winter hunt next month. After leaving the palace, maybe you can find a way to see him."

Bai Qianqian's heart was slightly moved when she heard this.

After all, it has been nearly three months since I last saw him.

After leaving the palace and going to the hunting grounds, I would naturally have more opportunities to talk to him in detail.

Thinking of this, Bai Qianqian made up her mind.

"Tell the prince that I will."

After the young eunuch left, Bai Qianqian sat alone in the empty palace, and her thoughts about Helian Tuo slowly turned back to reality.

She did not forget the last time she and the prince had an appointment in the palace but were accidentally seen by Lang Guiren.

The Emperor now favors Lady Lang, so who knows if he is not suspicious about this matter.

You didn’t believe it in the past, but now that a noble man is in front of you, will you believe it in the future?

Keeping Si Linglong would ultimately be a disaster...
