Chapter 215 Who gave you the courage?
"You..."
She could only find an excuse casually: "When you were sent to the cold palace, it was the Empress who secretly protected you, and I...I also took good care of you in Hexi Palace, so that you could avoid the murder of Li Guifei. Now that the Empress has been framed by that bitch Defei, won't you help the Empress to say a word in front of the Emperor?"
"Your Highness is biased. I was not bad to you and the Empress at that time."
Jiang Xinyue smiled and said, "You wanted to use me to fight against Li Guifei, and I did it. Why are you so greedy? Do you want to use that insignificant kindness to morally kidnap me for the rest of my life?"
"Insignificant?"
Concubine Yu was very angry about her contribution being erased: "If we hadn't protected you, do you think you could have survived Concubine Li Gui? You call this insignificant?"
"You want to make a big profit with a small investment, isn't it natural for you to pay some costs?"
The beautiful woman showed a hint of sarcasm on her face: "You all want to use me, but now it seems that you have given me a great gift, Concubine Yu, why are you so thick-skinned?"
Concubine Yu is no match for Jiang Xinyue in verbal battles.
She said coldly: "You are now the emperor's most beloved concubine. As long as you plead for the queen, the emperor will definitely believe the queen, and this is just a piece of cake for you, are you unwilling to help?"
"Well said."
Jiang Xinyue clapped her hands and said, "My concubine and the Empress have a deep sisterly relationship and have known each other for at least eight or nine years. Naturally, she has more say than me, a newcomer who has been in the palace for less than two years. If you care so much about the Empress, why don't you go to the Emperor and plead for her?"
She asked My concubine, "Or... My concubine only says that she cares about the Empress? But in fact, she doesn't want to do anything for her? She even came to me to instigate me to anger the Emperor. Do you want me to lose favor?"
My concubine widened her eyes. This Jiang Xinyue must be a worm in someone else's stomach!
How could she say all her innermost thoughts out loud?
But she couldn't show panic, instead she said to Jiang Xinyue: "Her Majesty the Concubine has misunderstood me. I am not favored, how dare I..."
"You know you are not favored, yet you still dare to come to me and act so presumptuous. Who gave you the courage to be so shameless?"
This was very unpleasant.
Just as Yu Fei was about to retort, Jiang Xinyue immediately said: "I have no interest in participating in the fight between the Empress and Concubine De, but if anyone of you dares to throw dirty water on me and try to drag me into this muddy water, then I'm sorry, whoever accuses me is my enemy, and I will fight her... until death."
The indifference in her eyes made Yu Fei dare not underestimate her.
She swallowed, feeling a little guilty.
In other words, if she dared to use this incident to spread rumors, she would push Jiang Xinyue to the side of Concubine De, and she would unite with Concubine De to fight her and the Empress Dowager at all costs.
She really...had this plan before coming.
But now, she doesn't dare!
Today's Jiang Xinyue is no longer the noble lady or concubine who can be ridiculed by her weird temper.
Concubine Yu came in with a haughty attitude, and left in disgrace like a bereaved dog. Before she could throw a pebble on the surging lake, she was scared back by Jiang Xinyue.
The Queen was ultimately blamed for the Third Prince's loss of voice due to poisoning, but because the old lady of the Duke of Cheng's Mansion injured the Queen, and now the imperial doctors are still treating the Queen, the two things are evened out.
Jiang Xinyue feels that this is just the beginning.
From the Queen's perspective, she suffered an unprovoked disaster for something she had not done.
As the Queen of a country, she should have been a noble existence above all others, but she was accused of a false crime. Her husband did not believe in her and allowed his ministers and their families to beat her to a bloody pulp.
Her father and brother were thousands of miles away in Chang'an, and it would take a month for them to rush over.
Concubine De made her lose all face and become a laughing stock in the harem. She was so miserable that no one could talk to her.
How could she accept this?
In Hexi Palace, Nanny Li said goodbye to Jiang Xinyue: "Your Majesty is now out of the month, and the Sixth Prince is in good health. I have not failed the trust of the Emperor and Your Majesty. Today, my son and daughter-in-law are coming to take me out of the palace. I have come to bid farewell to Your Majesty."
Nanny Li was going to leave the palace. This was what the emperor promised her before she came.
Jiang Xinyue asked Jiang Chuan and Xiao Xuanzi to take out the thank-you gifts that had been prepared long ago. It was a five-hundred-liang banknote and some jewelry, all packed in a small box.
After handing him over to her, she instructed, "Madame Li, it was thanks to you and Madame Xiang that little Tuanzi was able to come into this world healthy. It was also because of your careful care that he was spared from many schemes. Now that you are leaving the palace, I can't help but say a few more
words to annoy you..." She stood up, took Madame Li's hand, and spoke from the bottom of her heart, "Although they are your husband and son, you have been in the palace for forty years after all. Forty years is already more than half of your life. You have not left the palace for forty years. You don't know the situation at home. How about it? Is your husband still loyal to you? Will your son still be loyal to you after getting married? Of course, if they are loyal to you, I will be very happy for you. But if they are not loyal, the money I give you is for your support, so don't give it all to them at once. Remember, a woman's confidence comes from her own money, and they will fawn on you, flatter you, and treat you well. I am not thinking badly of them, but I want to think more about you. "
The human heart is the most difficult to test.
Even if Li Ma's family wants to get her money to support her for the rest of her life, let them know that the virtuous concubine in the palace values Li Ma very much, and fawn on them.
In the end, Li Ma will not suffer any loss.
Nanny Li knew that Jiang Xinyue was thinking about her, and nodded with tears in her eyes.
During this year, she always hoped that Concubine Xian would give birth to the baby as soon as possible so that she could leave the palace and reunite with her family.
But when the moment of separation really came, Nanny Li suddenly felt sad.
This separation should be a lifetime.
It's strange to say, she served the empress dowager for decades, and the emperor for more than ten years, and she has been with Concubine Xian for only a short year. The good memories in this year are more than the previous decades combined.
It's probably because Concubine Xian never treats the lives of servants as worthless. The gentleness in her bones makes her approachable from the bottom of her heart when treating every kind person.
That's why Li Ma felt that Concubine Xian was not the high-ranking queen who couldn't cross the line.
She was more like the cute and well-behaved little girl next door who was loved by everyone and made people want to be nice to her.
