Chapter 107 Fake BFFs

Empress Zhu was not the kind of person who would suffer for the sake of face. She gladly accepted Jiang Xinyue's offer.

After the emperor left, she asked with concern, "What's going on? Aren't you under house arrest? Why did the emperor say that things were not going well in Hexi Palace?"

Besides Concubine Li Guifei, who deliberately leaked the news to her in order to sow discord between her and Concubine Zhen, who else knew that Concubine Zhen was pregnant? Concubine

Li Guifei couldn't have done it. They had been old rivals for so many years, and she had never been seen to attack pregnant women and children.

However, it is not ruled out that she used other people, such as this time she wanted to use her own hand to kill Concubine Zhen's child.

Empress Zhu thought that Concubine Li had taken advantage of her. Not to mention that it was impossible for her to sit on the throne of the empress with her status as Zhenpin, even if she was lucky enough to give birth to a prince, she could only be a concubine like Concubine De and Concubine Liang, and it would not threaten her position. Why would she be such a bad person?

Besides, she was one of the few people who knew that the emperor had spies in the harem.

If she took action, she would be reported to the emperor, and then her position as empress would be over.

She would never dig her own grave. Concubine Li's wishful thinking was wrong.

Jiang Xinyue sighed and said worriedly: "I don't know who wants to harm me. When I first found out I was pregnant, the kitchen sent me a bowl of Tremella soup mixed with safflower. Later, poisonous insects that cause pregnant women to have miscarriage were found on my dog. Since then, the emperor has sent two maids to me, saying that they know a lot and can take care of me."

"Mammy?"

Defei raised her eyes: "What maid?"

Jiang Xinyue said to Xijue: "Go and ask Mammy Li and Mammy Xiang to come."

"But is it Mammy Li who serves in Chengqian Palace?"

"That should be it!"

Jiang Xinyue replied with a smile: "The emperor said that Nanny Li used to be in the Empress Dowager's palace, and was later sent to the emperor. She has served the emperor for twenty years. Let me treat her with courtesy."

That's it.

Empress Zhu was glad that she chose to investigate the situation first today, otherwise she would probably get herself into trouble if she acted rashly against Concubine Zhen.

Nanny Li is the head nanny of Chengqian Palace. She can manage the imperial place of Chengqian Palace so cleanly without any secrets, and manage the palace maids and eunuchs obediently. She is definitely not a simple person.

Nanny Li and Nanny Xiang entered the inner hall and greeted the masters in the hall in unison.

Concubine Liang and Concubine De did not dare to accept Nanny Li's greeting and slightly turned away. Only Jiang Xinyue, who was so heartless, accepted the greeting with a smile.

It seemed that she really did not know how powerful Nanny Li was.

Although she had never seen Nanny Xiang before, she had a serious face and a firm and clear look in her eyes, and she did not look like an ordinary person.

After the two Nannies paid their respects, they quietly withdrew. Concubine Liang's expression was not very good when the emperor was protecting Jiang Xinyue, but now it was really ugly.

She couldn't help but sarcastically said, "If I were to say, the luckiest person in the palace is Concubine Zhen. I'm afraid that after you give birth to your child, the emperor will make you a concubine. In just one year, you have gone from a noble to a concubine. Why don't you teach me how you have charmed the emperor's heart?"

Jiang Xinyue laughed. Why didn't Concubine Liang just say that the emperor was bewitched?

She was always so awkward.

When Jiang Xinyue was in trouble, she cared more about her than anyone else. Once Jiang Xinyue was favored, and the more favored she was, the better she lived, the more unhappy Concubine Liang seemed to be.

This is what some fake best friends in later generations are like. When you are doing badly, she will ask about your well-being and take great care of you. When you are doing well, she will be jealous of you, ridicule you, and try to drag you into the quagmire, not allowing you to be a brighter moon than her.

"Sister Liang Fei is always so outspoken."

Jiang Xinyue said in a joking tone: "I am not even a noble concubine now, and Sister Liang Fei is instigating me to ask the Empress for a gift? I am not like Sister Liang Fei who knows in advance and does not know how the Emperor will reward me."

"Sister Liang Fei asked me how I charmed the Emperor. You should ask the Emperor, after all, he is charmed by me."

The implication is that it is not me who is charmed by the Emperor, so it is useless for you to ask me. If you have the ability, ask the Emperor, don't be weird in front of me.

Liang Fei's face turned blue and white.

This is the first time that Liang Fei has seen such an aggressive side.

Empress Zhu coughed lightly, and Concubine Liang calmed down. She looked at Jiang Xinyue angrily. Her face looked like a fox spirit that had been transformed into a human.

Jiang Xinyue also glared back at Concubine Liang. She was not afraid of her at all.

Concubine Liang still thought she was the Jiang Xinyue who had to smile even when she was scolded!

She was used to her!

Defei took a sip of the warm tea that had cooled down: "With Nanny Li here, sister Zhenpin can rest assured to wait for the birth. If you feel uncomfortable, tell Nanny Li immediately. She used to be a favorite of the Empress Dowager. At that time, the harem of the late emperor was full of twists and turns. The Empress Dowager was afraid that the emperor would be harmed, so she sent Nanny Li to serve the emperor. With her protecting you, sister Zhenpin, no one can hurt you and your child in the future."

Jiang Xinyue stared at Defei with her eyes, as if she wanted to stare flowers out of her face.

Defei looked back in confusion and touched her temples: "What's wrong? Sister Zhenpin is looking at me like this. Is there something on my face?"

Empress Zhu and Concubine Liang looked over and made sure that there was nothing wrong with Defei's face before looking at Jiang Xinyue again.

"There is something."

Jiang Xinyue blinked her eyes: "Sister Defei looks a little good today."

Knowing that she had a bad relationship with the Queen Mother, she deliberately told her that Li Mama was the Queen Mother's person, so that she would subconsciously distance herself from Li Mama and guard against her, suspecting that she was in cahoots with the Queen Mother and was here to harm her.

As long as she distanced herself from Li Mama and did not use her, there would be many places in Hexi Palace where she could do something dirty.

But she also hinted to Jiang Xinyue that Li Mama was very capable, and as long as she was there, this Hexi Palace would be like an iron barrel, and no dirty things would come to the face of Jiang Xinyue and her children, and they would be very safe.

Isn't this asking her to rely on her favor to compete with the emperor for people?

When Emperor Xuanwu gave Nanny Li and Nanny Xiang to her, he did not tell them to stay in Hexi Palace, but told them to take good care of Concubine Zhen until she gave birth.

Concubine De was calculating, and no matter whether Jiang Xinyue trusted Nanny Li or not, she would leave a bad impression on the emperor.

Distrust is ignorance, trust and snatching people from him is not knowing when to advance and when to retreat, which is annoying.

Why didn't I notice it before?

The Virtuous Concubine is a master of palace fighting!

Praise for her beauty, the Virtuous Concubine always felt that Jiang Xinyue's eyes were weird, but her smile was sincere, and she didn't know what was weird.

She could only touch her face awkwardly: "Really? Maybe I slept better recently!"

The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a few bottles of Loulan Beauty Lotion to Yanqing Palace, but Concubine Zhen saw it so quickly?

She has a sharp eye.
