Chapter 676: Fear Concubine
Yan sat there for a long time.
"Master." Mu Yu said cautiously.
"Yeah." Concubine Yan responded, reached out and grabbed the Ninth Princess's hand and shook it.
"Don't think too much. Concubine Jing... didn't say anything." Mu Yu naturally understood.
"Yes." Concubine Yan nodded.
"I didn't think much about it. I just..." Concubine Yan paused and said, "I don't know what I was thinking. Forget it. It doesn't matter. If you get hot, just go back."
Mu Yu agreed and asked the wet nurses to pick up the child and take him back.
What are you thinking about? Nothing.
She just felt dazed.
The harem is indeed a place where one can easily get involved.
Yes, when you think about it, I have only been in the palace for eight years.
It's only been eight years, who hasn't changed? And Concubine Jing has been high and mighty from the beginning. She has never changed.
Whether it was the competition for favor among concubines in the harem or the competition among princes for the throne, she always seemed to have her own pace and was never hurried or slow.
But she is not the indifferent person like Fan. When she is unhappy, she will not make others happy.
There are times when I have to be rude to the Emperor.
However, even though he was so favored, he was respectful and polite to the queen.
She lived recklessly, yet impeccably.
perhaps……
"Perhaps, because there are people like Concubine Jing in the harem, the emperor feels that everyone else is mediocre and vulgar." Concubine Yan said softly.
"Why do you think like this, master? Everyone has their own strengths." Mu Yu said softly.
Concubine Yan said nothing more, but just silently felt the warm summer sun.
After Shen Chuliu finished her tour and returned to Yufu Palace, someone naturally came forward to help her change clothes, wash her hands, and drink some cooling soup.
Because most summer heat-relieving soups are cold, she strictly forbids people to drink too much.
She was no longer allowed to eat ice cream in the summer, and even cold fruits like watermelon and grapes were not allowed to be eaten by her.
So now she can only eat a few bites of watermelon occasionally in Taiji Palace.
But she can't complain. Her health is indeed not as good as before. She used to be a very healthy person.
Few of them are as weak and fragile as the women in the harem.
But now, I feel unwell for half a month and cannot get up, so I cannot pay my respects.
So since it’s already like this, if you can’t eat it, then don’t eat it.
The news that Concubine Jing met Concubine Yan in the Imperial Garden quickly spread.
Naturally, everyone has their own thoughts. Now in the harem, many people still have their own thoughts about what Mei Xiuyi said before.
In Fuyang Palace, Concubine Qian Shu snorted: "Concubine He went there on her own. Was it really a coincidence that Concubine Yan met her?"
"I think so. After all, Concubine Yan took the child there first." said the maid.
Concubine Qian Shu snorted, "Concubine Yan is fine, but Concubine He is the real venomous snake."
"Master, do you want to find a way to tell the Imperial Concubine? After all, the Imperial Concubine is..." Although this girl named Qingya had not known Concubine Qianshu for as long as before, she knew a lot of things.
He is currently the most trusted person of Concubine Qian Shu.
Concubine Qian Shu was silent for a while before she said, "In your opinion, what should we say? After all, we cannot be involved in these matters."
"Your Majesty." Qingya knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Only then will I dare to speak."
"Forget it, tell me, why should I blame you?" Concubine Qian Shu pulled her up.
"Your Highness, I think that many things about the Concubine and I were actually kept from you in an ambiguous way. This is actually a good thing. She said before that she would support you and the Second Prince, but in fact... you didn't get any benefits. I don't even believe what she said is true."
"You mean, she pretends to support the second prince, but actually has someone else?" Concubine Qian Shu said.
Now, knowing this, she is not angry but happy.
Because the overall situation has been decided, she has to put all of this aside so as not to implicate herself.
"Yes, I feel something is strange. She looks down on us in every way. I'm afraid that..." Qingya didn't dare to say anything.
Concubine Qian Shu's mouth twitched, and she knew what was going on.
Concubine He may seem insignificant, but she is very thoughtful. I'm afraid she has never really supported me.
"But if it wasn't me, why would she do this?" Concubine Qian Shu was puzzled.
"This is the point. I have thought about it for a long time and there is only one answer. When Empress Dowager Feng passed away, it was too sudden. The Empress had been in the harem all her life, and she had been in the palace since she was the Crown Princess. She must have had some connections of her own. But when the Empress passed away, she did not pass them on to you. Now think about it, what ability does Concubine He have? No matter how favored she is, she is just the daughter of a criminal who has just been rehabilitated. She doesn't even have a family. Relying on the profits in the palace and the rewards from the emperor, how much wealth does she have? Who can do things without seeking rewards? Do you think that Empress Dowager Feng's people are left to her?"
"...But why? Aunt doesn't believe me?" Concubine Qian Shu was stunned.
"Your Majesty, don't think like that. Perhaps, Empress Dowager Feng has seen the difficulties in the harem, and by not leaving these connections for you, nothing will happen to you." Qingya said.
"If that's the case, then my aunt has passed away and the family has dispersed, so why should we give it to her again?" Concubine Qian Shu said in confusion.
"Your Majesty... Who in this world doesn't feel resigned? Besides, Empress Dowager Feng died like that. She was smart all her life, so how could she not know anything about it? Think about what happened later. I always feel that all these things..."
"That year, the Imperial Concubine was frightened by a poisonous scorpion. I'm afraid... at least no one can arrange it so well now. Also, the Ninth Prince fell and got injured, and Empress Dowager Li and Li, who was not yet the Second Prince's wife at that time, got into trouble. These things are all very strange."
"Let's not talk about the distant past, let's talk about the recent past. This matter of Zhen Chongyi murdering the Imperial Concubine has always felt a little strange."
Concubine Qian Shu took a deep breath and said, "You are right. Zhen Chongyi is not a very smart person. Could it be that by murdering the imperial concubine and her son, she can make her son the crown prince? We all knew that there were only a few possible candidates."
She somewhat didn't want to mention her son because in the end her second prince had lost his qualifications.
"Yes, so she acted so recklessly. Was she sure that the Fourth and Fifth Princes had no hope? She just wanted to suppress the Sixth Prince? Or, as long as she harmed the Imperial Concubine, someone would do something else?"
"It's a pity that everyone around her is dead." said Concubine Qian Shu.
"Your Majesty, you must make a decision between what is true and what is false. Otherwise... there will be endless troubles." Qingya said.
"But what can I say?" Concubine Qian Shu sighed.
"Your Majesty, please think about the Second Prince's family. Su is truly vicious and unfathomable... If she has bad intentions, we..." Qingya frowned.
After a long pause, Concubine Qian Shu finally nodded: "Okay, I... will go find the emperor."
