Chapter 83 Eavesdropping

Rongpin looked tired and yawned: "I am indeed physically exhausted, so I will not accompany you. Sister Zhenpin, let's meet again another day."

Jiang Xinyue pretended to go to see Concubine Li Gui who was late, but she was paying attention to Concubine Shu from the corner of her eyes.

Seeing her pretending to be drunk and quietly going out for a breath of air, Jiang Xinyue also panicked and poured a glass of wine on herself.

Emperor Xuanwu saw her hurriedly get up, patted the wine stains on the hem of her skirt, and said to Xi Que with a blushing face that she was going back to change clothes.

He looked at his hand and the Queen's hand, and thought that Zhenpin's feelings for him seemed to be getting deeper and deeper.

She was such a beauty-loving person, but she would actually knock over the wine glass and dirty her clothes just because he and the Queen held hands.

"Wang Dequan, Concubine Zhen is afraid of the dark. Please send a newly made glass lamp from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to light the way for Concubine Zhen to return to Hexi Palace."

He wanted to comfort Concubine Zhen and tell her that he always thought of her, so he used the way of sending the lamp to explain in a tactful way.

The newly made glass lamp from the Ministry of Internal Affairs was exquisite and luxurious. Only the Queen's Yikun Palace had it in the harem. Other concubines did not have it.

Jiang Xinyue followed Concubine Shu all the way to a palace road outside the Baohe Hall. Wang Dequan followed closely behind, but seeing that Concubine Zhen was sneaky, he did not say a word until Jiang Xinyue found him, raised her index finger at him and said "huh", then he walked over with light steps.

The palace maids trained in Chengqian Palace all walked with light steps that were almost silent. He walked in front of Jiang Xinyue without making any noise.

The dark palace corridor was lit by several lanterns hanging on the eaves. There was nowhere to hide, but the corner of the palace corridor with Concubine Shu's back turned happened to be an uninhabited palace. She pulled Wang Dequan and hid behind the door together.

"Empress Zhen, you..."

"Shh!"

Jiang Xinyue blew out the glass lamp and pointed in the direction of Concubine Shu.

Wang Dequan stretched out half of his head. Under the dim light, Concubine Shu and Concubine Rong stood opposite each other, and the atmosphere seemed a little confrontational.

What's going on?

His eyes were full of confusion. Jiang Xinyue didn't say anything, but raised her chin to signal him to listen.

Concubine Shu had her back to this side, so Wang Dequan couldn't see her expression, but her tone didn't sound as aloof and aloof as Concubine Shu usually sounded when she met the emperor.

Instead...

she revealed an aggressive and oppressive feeling.

Concubine Rong glanced in Wang Dequan's direction and raised a faint smile: "Why? Sister, are you afraid that your image of being indifferent to fame and fortune, kind and pure, will collapse, and that I will expose your true face?" "

Pa!"

A slap hit Concubine Rong's face cruelly, and Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and said: "I have said before, everything I did was for the family, so that my mother and brother can return to Beijing as soon as possible. What's wrong with you making some sacrifices? Do you hate me until now?"

"Don't use such high-sounding excuses to fool me."

Rongpin yelled and cried: "Your child's life is life, but my child's life is not life? It's so easy to say. How about I kill your child now? Let's see if you will hate me?"

She wiped her tears fiercely: "Don't think I don't know. It was you who suggested that Concubine Li Guifei frame Zhenpin and send her to the cold palace by hitting her head and falling into the water. It was also you who led Concubine Su to hate Zhenpin. You even designed a water grass knot at the bottom of the lake where Zhenpin fell into the water to take her life. Don't say that it was for the family, for your mother and brother. You did all this for yourself. You are ambitious, plotting the position of queen, and plotting the heart of the emperor. Do you really think you are foolproof?"

It was because she knew that her child was killed by her own sister and aunt.

"Pa!"

Rongpin was slapped in the face again. Shufei grabbed her clothes and pushed her against the palace wall, revealing an unprecedented ruthless side: "I warn you, if you dare to talk nonsense in front of Zhenpin or the emperor, I don't mind killing my own sister. Anyway, my hands are already stained with a lot of blood along the way. One more life or one less life makes no difference to me."

Those bloodthirsty eyes were like man-eating beasts. Rongpin's hands and feet trembled, and she lowered her eyes in fear: "But... but you killed my child... She didn't even have a chance to see this world, and you ...You have deprived him of his life, why...why should you use me and my child to pave the way for you? I..."

Her voice was obviously much weaker. Shufei pushed her away with force. The sneer on the corner of her mouth seemed particularly cruel and cold under the cold moonlight: "The emperor will not care about the life or death of the child in your belly, but I am different. I want to use this as an excuse to win favor. Even if the emperor settles accounts with her in the future, I can say that Zhenpin is the real murderer who killed your child and her death is not a pity. I just can't bear to see my sister sad, so I want to avenge you. "

Even if the emperor wants to hate by then, he will not hate Shufei, but Rongpin.

Shufei is just a sister who wants to avenge her sister. It's her fault that Rongpin always cries in front of her and is always depressed.

Rongpin cried until her eyes were red, and Shufei frowned: "Okay, wipe your tears for me, don't let others see your flaws. You want a child, and when I get rid of Zhenpin and Liguifei, I will naturally recommend you to the emperor. The emperor is in his prime, are you still afraid of not having a child?"

The two sisters went their separate ways, one after the other. After Shufei left, Rongpin's frightened eyes turned into resentment.

The moment the child flowed out of her body, she no longer knew what fear was. She was just a walking corpse, and she only wanted to avenge him.

But this Zhenpin really brought her surprises.

I thought that after reminding her tonight, it would take at least half a year for Zhenpin to defeat her sister, but less than half an hour after she finished speaking, she came with Wang Dequan.

The speed was so fast that she almost didn't have time to prepare her words.

Jiang Xinyue and Wang Dequan stood stupidly in the palace overgrown with weeds, looking at each other, not knowing how to react.

If Jiang Xinyue knew how much Rongpin admired her, she would definitely be ashamed.

This was all Shufei's own bad luck, as the emperor asked Wang Dequan to deliver the palace lanterns to him!

At most, she blew out the glass lanterns so that Wang Dequan could find a reason to tell the emperor the secret he heard tonight after returning.

"This... this..."

Wang Dequan's mouth was so big that an egg could fit in it. He pointed at Concubine Shu, then at Concubine Rong, and finally looked at Jiang Xinyue. He said in panic: "Empress Zhen... this... what's going on?"

As the emperor's personal eunuch, he could see most clearly whether the emperor liked Concubine Shu.

Although he now has Concubine Zhen, but Concubine Shu...

is the emperor's first love, so their feelings are different!
