Chapter 408: Keep a Low Profile

Just as Jiang Xinyue was sinking into self-doubt, the door of Yu's study opened and Imperial Physician Yan walked out: "The Emperor has woken up, let the Empress go in, and the rest of the people should go."

"Is the Empress the only one here?"

"How is the Emperor? How is his health? Is there anything serious?"

"The Empress is pregnant, how can she serve Yu? It would be better to let all the concubines above the rank of concubine go in, so as to save the Empress from being burdened!"

"That's right, the Empress is pregnant, it's really not suitable for her to serve, it's better to let a few concubines go in together."

The ministers who spoke were not arguing for Concubine Shu and Concubine Liang, but they were all on good terms with the Zhenbei General's Mansion and were arguing for Concubine Shi.

Imperial Physician Yan glanced at the official who spoke and said, "This is what the emperor said. I am only conveying the emperor's oral instructions. If you have any opinions, you can go in and tell the emperor yourself."

Isn't this nonsense?

The emperor didn't even summon them, so how could they dare to go in privately? They would be killed by the emperor's personal guards as assassins.

"No... No, no..."

Concubine Shi blushed and smiled at Jiang Xinyue with a little apology: "Your Majesty, I... I ran a little too fast when I came here. Now my stomach hurts so much. I want to go back and rest first. I hope Your Majesty will allow me."

The ministers were embarrassed and looked at Concubine Shi with a look of regret, but she seemed to be unaware of it and just looked at Jiang Xinyue pleadingly.

"Stomachache?"

Jiang Xinyue smiled slightly: "It just so happens that Concubine Liang and Concubine Shu are also going back to the palace, why don't you go together?"

Concubine Shi behaved like a concubine who was silent and honest, which was in line with the impression she had in people's minds.

Even if her family wanted to promote her to the throne, she would back off.

But Jiang Xinyue said that she didn't trust anyone in this palace.

Even with Concubine Shu and Concubine Liang, she still had reservations, not to mention Concubine Shi, who was currently her opponent.

Concubine Shu's broken sedan chair was still parked at the gate of her palace, but Concubine Shi said she wanted to leave at this time, and she was worried.

Concubine Shu and Concubine Liang looked at each other, stepped forward and took Concubine Shi's arm affectionately: "Sister Concubine Shi, do you have a stomachache? Then you should go back quickly to ask the imperial physician. It happens that we are on the way, so I will see you off."

"On the way...on the way?"

"Yes! I'm going to see Jin Guipin of Qingyang Palace."

Concubine Shu's eyes widened. She had forgotten about the Goguryeo princess Jin Guipin. It was still Concubine Liang who was so good that she didn't even need to prepare a lie in her mind.

Concubine Shi was pushed out and had no chance to refuse.

Jiang Xinyue then lifted the hem of her skirt, turned around when she reached the door, and raised her voice slightly and said: "The emperor has been neglecting sleep and food to handle government affairs. Don't you ministers know how to persuade him? He has been exhausted. I will only blame you."

The Empress didn't know?

The ministers under the corridor looked at each other in bewilderment. Could it be that the emperor made the decision on his own without telling the empress?

Jiang Xinyue stepped in, passed through the main hall, walked along the corridor, and came to the backyard of the study room. That was the bedroom where the emperor usually took a nap while dealing with memorials.

The backyard was quiet. Wang Dequan was not guarding outside, but a little palace maid who looked familiar.

The palace maid lowered her head: "Greetings to the empress."

The little eunuch on the other side bent down and pushed open the door. Jiang Xinyue walked in without stopping.

Mu Qianqian raised her head, and her extremely beautiful face was already strictly covered by heavy bangs.

Keep a low profile...

Nanny Duan is right, she should keep a low profile, and must not reveal any ambition until she is strong enough to compete with the Empress.

Her beauty does not need to be displayed to the world, just a little bit to the Emperor.

She has been transferred to Yuqian for several months. At first, she could only work as a maid outside, but with her belief in climbing up, she went from a maid to a tea-serving maid. She will not give up.

According to her careful observation in the past few months, Wang Zongguan and Tang Gonggong in front of Yuqian are probably the Empress's people.

Therefore, she cannot expose herself in front of them.

Ambushing is the key to victory.

What is the point of Concubine Tong framing the Empress?

The emperor's heart is on Jiang Xinyue. No matter how others slander her, he will think Jiang Xinyue is innocent. He

has to wait until the emperor gets tired of her and his feelings for her change from strong to weak and impatient.

If he sets up a plan at that time, it will be in line with the emperor's wishes. Are you still afraid that the emperor will not take action?

The bedroom-

the emperor was sitting on the bed, holding the medicine bowl and drinking it all.

The bitter taste did not make him frown, but when he saw Jiang Xinyue, he frowned slightly: "Didn't I say not to tell the queen and let her worry?"

Wang Dequan lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "That was said after you woke up, Your Majesty, it's too late."

The emperor fainted, how could he not inform the queen, in case something really happened, there would be someone who could make a decision.

Another thing is that they are also worried about what will happen to the emperor...right?

If the empress does not control the situation, they will also be in trouble.

"If the emperor does not want me to come, I will leave. Why bother the chief steward Wang and them?"

After saying this, she turned around and was about to leave.

But the concern in her eyes could no longer be hidden. She looked the emperor up and down, and only started to speak angrily after making sure that he was fine.

"You...cough cough cough..."

The emperor got anxious and stood up from the bed. He started coughing after taking two steps, and squatted on the ground "weakly".

"Your Majesty!"

Wang Dequan deliberately shouted loudly: "What's wrong with you, Your Majesty?"

Tang Shiliang blinked at the emperor crazily. The emperor understood what he meant, and tilted his head, closed his eyes and fell into Tang Shiliang's arms.

Jiang Xinyue could tell from the tone of Wang Dequan's exclamation that the emperor was fine.

But she still turned around worriedly, and when she saw the emperor lying on the ground, her eyes reddened: "Your Majesty!"

She acted much more sincerely than Wang Dequan.

It didn't look like acting at all.

When she ran to the emperor, she was tripped by her skirt and her belly hit the emperor.

The emperor stared with his mouth open, and quickly put out his hands to hold her body to prevent her from hitting any hard objects.

Wang Dequan and Tang Shiliang were so perceptive that they naturally retreated outside to wait.

"Yuer, it's been half a month, you are still angry?"

"Your Majesty doubts my character and insults me like this. Shouldn't I be angry?"

"You are too serious."

The emperor looked away with a guilty conscience: "I just checked Lan Xiaolou briefly. If I didn't check, how would I know that the Tong family was framing you?"

Who framed whom?

The broken tombstone did not change "Dong" to "Jiang" at all, but "Jiang" was changed to "Dong"!

This is a perfect situation to take the blame.
