Chapter 106: Concubine De's Concubine's Seizure
“Your father scolds me for everything I say at home, and you scold me here too.
How could my mother, the empress's mother, the Lady of Wei, personally appointed by His Majesty, live such a miserable life?"
Mrs. Wei started crying as she spoke.
The queen listened to her mother's words and looked at her crying mother in front of her, and her heart was burning with anger.
If I were her father, I would never have endured this for so long and would have divorced my mother long ago.
When she was young, she was a beautiful and gentle dodder, who gave birth to legitimate sons and daughters, and her status was stable.
Now that her daughter has become the queen, she has become more influential in the palace.
All the stupid things he did over the years were made up for by himself and his brother. Now he wants to reach out to the palace and the prince's mansion.
The queen covered her forehead, not wanting to argue with her mother any longer, so she could only comfort her:
"Mother, now we have two choices.
First, if you want to place someone in the two princes' houses, send the beautiful maidservants you have at home.
Second, if you really want Yu Ning and the others to go, just go back and ask your father and get his consent."
As the Queen was speaking, someone came in to report:
"Concubine Qi is pregnant and has been pregnant for over six months. She has fainted and the imperial physicians have gone to Yilan Palace."
After hearing this, the queen waved her hand and asked everyone to leave.
Then he went forward to wipe the face of Madam Wei and said:
"Mother, as you can see, I still have a lot of things to do.
Go back first and discuss it with your father, and then we can talk about it."
Then he ordered the nanny beside him to bring a bunch of supplements to the old lady, and only after much persuasion did he let her go.
After the queen sent her mother away, she came back and calmed herself down for a long time before having her makeup done again and going to Yilan Palace.
The three concubines have already arrived in Yilan Palace, including Xiangpin, Lipin, and Guo Zhaoyi.
Only Concubine Rong is missing.
The virtuous concubine had arrived a long time ago. She had seen everything and asked all the questions. All that was left was to sit and wait for the queen to arrive.
But the queen was late, and she couldn't leave first, so she had to wait.
Everyone knew that it was Concubine Xian who was in charge of the harem now, and no one dared to offend her, so they all asked Concubine De in a roundabout way.
"This Qi beauty is already six months pregnant, how come we just discovered it now?"
"That's right, your belly is already this big after six months, doesn't anyone notice it on weekdays?"
"I was saying that she had been saying she wasn't feeling well for the past two months, and she was recuperating all day and didn't come out. Turns out she's pregnant."
"Your Majesty was unwell and spent most of his time in the harem simply resting before the New Year. How did she get pregnant?"
"Well, isn't this youth and good health, what you said?"
Everyone was talking at once, but Concubine Xian didn't agree or say anything. She just sat there quietly.
At this time, the queen came and everyone stood up to greet her.
The virtuous concubine was preoccupied with Rongpin's affairs and had no intention of listening to the witty banter of these women.
Suddenly, Concubine De said, "Sister Concubine Xian, it's a good thing that Lady Qi is pregnant. Why do you seem so absent-minded?
In the past few months, His Majesty has only summoned you, my sister, to sleep with him, and you don't come to the harem at other times.
You have already won His Majesty's favor, so please stop being jealous and upset because of Concubine Qi's pregnancy."
After hearing this, everyone looked towards Concubine Xian.
Concubine Shu was already very angry today because of the two princes' choice of concubines. Now that Concubine De was looking for trouble again, she became rude.
"Which eye of yours saw Concubine Xian being jealous?
Do you think everyone is like you, with their minds full of love and sex?"
Seeing that Concubine Shu was speaking with full force, Concubine De retorted indignantly:
"If it's not for this, why is Concubine Xian always so absent-minded?"
The virtuous concubine said expressionlessly:
"You all should know that His Majesty and Concubine Shu were poisoned, and the Nanli spies in the palace have not been found yet.
Today, I was planning to capture someone, but my mind wasn't on waiting for the result. I didn't expect that Concubine De would misunderstand me."
When Concubine De heard about the spies, she became dispirited.
She said embarrassedly, "I see. I misunderstood my sister, Concubine Xian."
The virtuous concubine said nothing.
Concubine Shu then retorted, "If Concubine Xian was jealous and intolerant, then based on your background, how could you have been allowed a place in the Eastern Palace back then?"
De Fei blushed when she heard this: "Shu Fei, you..."
"What about me? My life is thinner than paper, but my heart is higher than the sky. I give this sentence to you today."
Concubine Shu continued to output.
The many concubines below had never seen the contest between the three concubines.
This sight really opened my eyes. I didn't expect that Concubine Shu was so powerful. Concubine De gave birth to two princes and has more seniority than Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian.
But Concubine Shu still didn't give her any face at all.
The virtuous concubine was even more powerful. She had a calm expression and spoke slowly, but she made the virtuous concubine apologize with just one sentence.
De Fei was a little embarrassed at this time and looked at the Queen:
"Your Majesty, don't worry about it."
The queen sneered and was about to speak.
Xian Fei continued calmly, "Is the Empress sure she wants to wade into this mess?"
After hearing this, the queen picked up the teacup and took two sips without saying anything.
When Concubine De saw this, she didn't know what to do.
The virtuous concubine continued with a cold face and said:
"Please keep my plan to capture the spies today a secret. If the news leaks out, everyone here will have to report to the palace one by one."
After hearing this, everyone agreed and dared not let the news leak out.
Then they all looked up at Concubine De angrily, thinking, why did you have to mess with Concubine Xian?
Now if we can’t catch the spy, everyone will be taken to the palace.
So he looked at Concubine De with unfriendly eyes.
After the virtuous concubine finished speaking, she stood up and said, "Empress, I have important matters to attend to, so I will not stay any longer. I will take my leave."
Concubine Shu also stood up and took her leave.
After the two left, Concubine De blushed and looked at the Queen and said:
"They really don't take you seriously."
After hearing what Concubine De said, the Queen wanted to open her brain to see what was inside. Why did she have to take her with her when she was seeking death?
He ignored her and asked about Concubine Qi's situation.
When Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian returned to Yong'an Palace, they saw Li Yueyao preparing to go out.
When Li Yueyao saw the two of them coming back, she said happily, "The fish is hooked, haha."
Xian Fei was delighted when she heard this: "Where is it?"
"Next to the rockery in the Imperial Garden."
"Let's go and take a look together."
The virtuous concubine pulled the virtuous concubine and said.
Concubine Shu was confused and didn't know what was going on. She followed the two men to the Imperial Garden in a daze.
When the three of them reached the Imperial Garden, they began to sneak forward, hiding as they walked.
Seeing this, Concubine Shu couldn't help but ask, "What on earth are we doing here?"
Li Yueyao smiled and said, "Catching an adulterer."
Concubine Shu was startled: "Catching an adulterer? Who?"
"You'll know when you see me later," said the virtuous concubine.
The three continued to walk forward and saw someone standing guard at the foot of a rockery in the distance. Li Yueyao said to Gan Hong and Concubine Shu's maidservant Shiqi behind her:
"You two go and take care of the people on duty for me."
The two men took the order and stepped forward, one from the back and the other from the side, and successfully knocked the man down.
Li Yueyao then took the two of them and walked over slowly.
As I approached, I heard the voice of a woman crying in the rockery:
“My father and his men were exiled to Lingnan, and His Majesty refused to see me.
You don't know what kind of life Sheng'er and I have been going through in the past two months... wuwu..."
Concubine Shu was shocked when she heard this and said silently, "Is it Concubine Rong?"
The virtuous concubine smiled.
A man's voice was heard from inside:
"Ya'er, don't cry. I know, I know everything. I've already been planning for your father's affairs."
