Chapter 84: A Great Shame

How come he heard that Concubine Shu just said that... she never loved the emperor, but was just trying to avenge the Wu family and get the emperor to pardon the Wu family members?

If the emperor knew about this, what would happen?

The whole palace would be blown up.

Jiang Xinyue's face was full of fear, and her hand holding the handkerchief was raised to her chest: "I... I... I was chatting with Sister Rongpin at the banquet just now, and I heard that her tone was not right, as if it was about her miscarriage. I was worried that she was in trouble, so I wanted to follow her to see, but I was afraid that I would misunderstand and make people laugh. So I deliberately wet my clothes and followed her. When I got here, I found that Empress Shufei was also there. I thought that the two sisters would be easier to talk to, so I... planned to wait for them to finish talking before leaving... I didn't expect..."

Unexpectedly, Shufei said such shocking words.

Wang Dequan's expression was not good: "Empress Zhenpin, why don't you let Xi Que and Shuangjiang take you back to Hexi Palace? I have something else to do with the emperor!"

"Hey?"

Jiang Xinyue quickly grabbed him and stammered, "Eunuch Wang, this... this is not something I should know. You... if you want to tell the emperor, can you please not let him know? I also heard what Concubine Shu said. There is actually a concubine in the harem who doesn't like the emperor. She doesn't even like the emperor. I really don't know what kind of man Concubine Shu likes. I'm already very angry when I heard it. How sad the emperor would be if he knew it! Eunuch Wang, let me keep some dignity for the emperor and pretend that you know nothing!"

For an emperor, it is an unforgivable shame that his concubine doesn't love him?

And this shame was heard by another concubine. The emperor was so embarrassed that he would have some opinions about Jiang Xinyue.

As an emperor!

He would never think that he is incapable or wrong, it is always others who are wrong. The reason why

Concubine Shu doesn't love him is because she is blind, and the reason why Concubine Zhen heard about his embarrassing things is because she ran around for no reason and did not follow the rules.

In short, it is other people's fault that he was embarrassed.

Jiang Xinyue didn't want to be a cannon fodder in the relationship between Emperor Xuanwu and Concubine Shu.

At least what Concubine Zhen said made Wang Dequan feel that there are still people in the palace who truly love the emperor.

He smiled at Jiang Xinyue: "Your servant knows what to do."

As the night deepened, without the glass lamps, the palace was still dim.

Xi Que helped Jiang Xinyue onto the sedan chair, looked up at her own queen and said, "Will Eunuch Wang really not tell the emperor?"

"He will."

Jiang Xinyue smiled and propped her chin with her hand: "Wang Dequan is the emperor's confidant. He reports everything in the palace to the emperor. I am just a concubine Zhen, how can I control him?"

"Then why did you..."

Why did she bother to say those words?

"Because he will tell the emperor exactly what I said."

In this way, Wang Dequan became the trigger for Concubine Shu to fall out of favor.

Xi Que thought of her own queen's words just now: "There are concubines in the harem who don't like the emperor?" "She doesn't even like the emperor. I really don't know what kind of man Shu Fei likes?"

She suddenly widened her eyes!

Shu Fei doesn't like the emperor, so who does she like? Did she have a lover when she was outside the palace?

Think about it... Did Shu Fei... cheat on the emperor?

Even she, a little maid, thinks so, the emperor must...

Xi Que dared not even think about it, she just felt that the emperor's anger was something that she, a little maid, could not bear.

After the palace banquet, Jiang Yankun was surrounded by several officials and prepared to go to the wine house outside the palace for the second party.

His daughter was in great favor, so naturally there were many officials who rushed to flatter her.

Lord Jiang, who had not found a chance to talk to his daughter the whole night, was a little depressed. He asked Ruan in the carriage: "Have you told the queen about Dalang?"

Ruan shook her head: "When I mentioned that Ze'er would also participate in the autumn examination, the queen said that she was now on thin ice in the harem and would never allow Ze'er to cheat and accept bribes in her name. Don't look at her being favored now, this is all because she went through dangers and risked her life. I thought, even if our Jiang family has little influence and cannot be the queen's backing, at least we can help her. You can't be a burden to her. I don't have a chance to speak out about Dalang's affairs. "

Jiang Yankun pondered for a moment and nodded: "You are right not to say anything. As for Dalang...it depends on his own fate! I can arrange a vacant position for him in the Honglu Temple and let him fight again in three years."

If nothing unexpected happens, Yue Jie'er will definitely be one of the four concubines in three years. By then, even if she fails in the imperial examination, the Jiang family will be prosperous. Anyway, Dalang doesn't like to study, so it's not impossible to let him be a rich and idle person with a little talent.

It's just that Zhou is very confused, and she wants her children to be superior to Ruan's children.

She doesn't think about it. Yue Jie'er is now a favored concubine who is deeply loved by the emperor. What can she compare with others? She

has to think of a way to fool them.

There were no lights on in Chengqian Palace. The glass lamp that was originally intended for Jiang Xinyue was shattered on the steps. All the palace maids and eunuchs, including Wang Dequan's servants, knelt on the ground in the hall.

In the darkness, Emperor Xuanwu walked out tiredly with gloomy eyes: "Shufei, did she really say that?"

Wang Dequan knocked his head to the ground: "I dare not deceive the emperor. Xiao Xiazi and Qiu Shi, who went with me to send the palace lanterns, saw it with their own eyes and heard it with their own ears. Empress Shufei... Empress Shufei is indeed completely different from what I see in daily life. Empress Rong was slapped twice, and she also mentioned the child that Empress Rong had miscarried. All of this... seems to be... all done by Empress Shufei."

"She was the one who murdered Concubine Zhen... too?"

"Every word I say is true!"

Emperor Xuanwu thought that he would be very angry after confirming again that Shufei did not love him. Like the first time he knew it, the flames of anger almost burned him.

But this time, when he heard Wang Dequan say that Shufei did not love him, he did not feel much.

Instead, he felt as if something heavy was lifted from his heart, and he felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

What really made him angry was that Wang Dequan said that Concubine Zhen was murdered several times, and it was all Concubine Shu who instigated it behind the scenes.

"Wang Dequan!"

Emperor Xuanwu's eyes flashed with a cold light: "Arrange someone to go out of the palace to investigate. Did Concubine Shu have any close relationships with any men before entering the palace?"

Didn't Zhenpin say that?

Shufei doesn't even like the emperor, so what kind of

man does she like? Maybe she already had a lover before entering the palace.

He wanted to see what kind of man could conquer Shufei, a venomous woman.
