Chapter 236 Coming on the Moon
The room was filled with blood and gore.
Lin An plucked up the courage to come out and just then heaved a sigh of relief.
When I looked up, I saw Shen Fu standing at the door.
When did Concubine Shen stand at the door waiting?
When Lin An saw the person coming, his face became even uglier than when he was in the hall just now.
His Majesty held Lady Shen Fu in his mouth for fear that she would melt, and held her in his palm for fear that she would fall.
Why let Concubine Shen stand alone at the door in such a cold day?
If His Majesty knew about this, he would break their legs, right?
Lin An's hands and feet weakened when he thought of this, and he quickly stepped forward: "Miss Chen Fu, why are you here?"
Shen Fu looked at the person in front of her, her eyes flickering slightly: "I've just been here for a while."
Although Shen Fu had a smile on her face, she couldn't hide the coldness on her face.
"Eunuch Lin, is His Majesty in there?"
"Yes, yes!" Chen Fu asked knowingly.
He is here, how could His Majesty not be inside?
Lin An glanced behind him obscurely, and walked forward in small steps: "Miss Chen Fu, the Emperor is discussing matters with Concubine Rong inside."
He was afraid that Shen Fu would make a fuss and want to go in.
Lin An, a bystander, could still try to persuade her for the time being, but since it concerned Concubine Shen, Lin An did not have the courage to do so.
"Your Majesty..." Before Lin An could finish his words of consolation, Chen Fu spoke up:
"Don't worry, sir. Your Majesty is discussing something with Concubine Rong, how can I disturb him?"
When Shen Fu finished speaking, Lin An instantly breathed a sigh of relief. This is not to say that Concubine Shen is favored. Even though he is the Emperor, he likes such considerate people.
Lin An didn't dare to let Shen Fu wait at the door.
What a joke! Even His Majesty has never punished Lady Chen Fu. As a servant, he would have to be extremely brave.
Lin An immediately asked someone to move a chair and bring a charcoal basin. Shen Fu sat in a chair and just lowered her head to take a sip of tea.
But then a loud noise came from inside the house.
"What's wrong?" Shen Fu put down the teacup in fear.
The sound just now sounded like a teacup falling to the ground.
Chen Fu looked at Lin An, while Lin An beside her looked back with horror on his face.
Inside the house, blue and white porcelain cups were scattered all over the floor.
After Concubine Rong finished speaking, His Majesty remained silent for a long time.
Just when she thought His Majesty would not speak.
However, she didn't expect that the Emperor was picking up the teacup at hand and smashing it towards her.
The sound of teacups breaking was heard nearby, and it was not until broken pieces of porcelain were everywhere that Concubine Rong came to her senses.
The gold hairpin on her forehead had fallen off long ago, and when she tilted her head, a strand of long hair fell down.
The tea stains in the cups splattered all over the floor, and some even splashed out with the tea and splashed onto her skirt.
Concubine Rong knelt stiffly on the ground, her whole body trembling slightly uncontrollably.
The cup of tea that His Majesty just threw almost hit her.
Concubine Rong has served His Majesty for so many years, but she has never seen His Majesty get so angry with her.
His Majesty has always been like this, and no one can hide the coldness in his heart.
His Majesty has been like this for all these years. Concubine Rong thought that no matter how big a mistake she made, the Emperor would not take action against her.
But just now, the teacup fell down on her for a moment.
"Does Your Majesty want to kill me?" Concubine Rong covered her face.
Although the teacup did not fall on her just now, she could clearly feel her cheeks burning.
"I am so disappointed in you."
Xiao Yu looked deeply at the person kneeling on the ground for a few seconds, then closed his eyes.
"Someone, send Concubine Rong back!"
The voice of His Majesty came from inside the house, and Lin An finally put his mind at ease.
He raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat off his forehead, lowered his head and bent his waist: "I will go into the room and take a look."
Without waiting for Shen Fu to respond, Lin An gritted his teeth and walked in.
The house was in a mess.
Lin An looked at the movement on the ground, then looked at Concubine Rong who was kneeling among the broken porcelain pieces with her head lowered, and almost fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty." Lin An walked forward and was about to speak when the His Majesty in front of him became furious again.
"Bring the person down to me!" Xiao Yu pointed his finger in the direction of Concubine Rong on the ground, his eyes filled with uncontrollable fierceness.
Lin An didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly walked to Concubine Rong and stretched out his hand to help her.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Rong waved his hand away, placed her palm on the carpet, and stood up precariously from the ground.
“No need.”
Concubine Rong's expression was extremely calm, except for a few wet traces of tears at the corners of her eyes.
She raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. There was no sound of sobbing in her throat: "Your Majesty has already hated me and abandoned me. He must think that I am not good at all."
"You still refuse to admit your mistake." Xiao Yu clenched his fists tightly.
"I am only following His Majesty's orders to handle matters of importance in the harem. What have I done wrong?"
Concubine Rong raised her chin, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth: "It's not my fault, why should I admit it?"
"I'm not unaware of what you did before." Xiao Yu looked at Concubine Rong.
Over the years, Concubine Rong has always been dignified and gentle, and has never disobeyed him.
Like today, he seemed like a different person: "Is it that I have never seen you clearly, or have you changed?"
"As always, I have neither partiality nor harmed anyone."
"Your Majesty, Quefu, did not think I did anything wrong before. Now that he thinks I am not good, it is simply because he is disgusted with me."
"Just like today's Concubine Shu Gui, when His Majesty doted on her, His Majesty never thought it was her fault no matter what she did."
"But what about now? Even if Concubine Shu does nothing, His Majesty will not look at her."
Concubine Rong looked down at His Majesty with eyes that were both painful and obscure.
There was a gleam in the dark eyes. She was just like she was at all times before, with no difference in her eyes.
"It's not me who has changed, but His Majesty. In the final analysis, it's just that I and others have been abandoned by His Majesty."
"Since there is no love, you will naturally feel that I am wrong in everything."
After saying this, Concubine Rong left.
"Your Majesty." As soon as Concubine Rong came out, the palace maid guarding the door immediately stepped forward to support her.
But just as his palm fell, he noticed that Concubine Rong's palm was trembling.
"Empress?" The palace maid raised her head in panic, only to see Concubine Rong with her waist straight, as dignified and elegant as ever.
Even if the hairpin on your head is loose or your dress is stained.
But in her every move, she is still the same Concubine Rong as before.
"It's okay." Concubine Rong took a deep breath, but couldn't stop her palms from trembling slightly.
"Your Majesty." The palace maid had a worried look on her face and was about to say something, but Concubine Rong raised her hand to stop her.
Concubine Rong raised her hand and just shook her head, but when she looked up, she saw Shen Fu sitting at the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Heavy snow in midwinter
I don’t know how long the snow has been falling, but it’s already white outside.
The stone steps at the entrance of the Palace of Heavenly Purity had long been covered with white snow, and the glazed tiles were covered with a thick layer of snow.
It was such a cold day, with the wind and snow howling, and the palace maids, eunuchs, and gatekeepers all stood in the strong wind with their necks hunched.
No matter whether they were ministers or concubines, they could only stand and wait.
At this time, under the main gate of the Qianqing Palace, in front of the Emperor's palace.
Only Chen Fu was sitting on the recliner openly.
With one hand supporting his chin, his smile was bold and eye-catching.
Concubine Rong was stunned for a moment. Such flamboyant and brilliant smiles are rare in the harem.
Shu Guipin is arrogant because she has a strong personality. And the reason why Shen Fu's smile was so dazzling was because she was born dazzling.
At this moment, she was half leaning on a rosewood lounge chair, with a white mink blanket that had just been tributed from the Western Zhou Dynasty draped over her knees.
With one hand supporting his chin, he lay comfortably and lazily on the recliner.
Not knowing what the maid beside her said to her, Shen Fu couldn't help but lowered her eyes and chuckled.
As she moved, the hairpin on her head swayed slightly.
Concubine Rong stood up straight subconsciously, and her eyes moved from the shaking hairpin to Shen Fu.
The green-calyx plum's cloak is covered with a layer of snow-white fur.
Chen Fu huddled under the cloak, with half of her palm-sized face covered by the cloak. Under the white snow behind her, there was a face that was whiter and more delicate than the snow behind her.
At this moment, she didn't know what she heard, but there was a smile in her eyes, and her expression did not show any of the uneasiness and panic that should be in the palace.
There are so many concubines in the harem, some are favored and some are not.
The facial expression, demeanor, even every move and every word must be carefully considered.
Even when she met the Emperor, it was no exception.
Like Chen Fu, who was so relaxed at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, she had only seen Chen Fu in the entire harem.
This is the confidence given by His Majesty, and also the arrogance brought about by His Majesty's pampering.
Concubine Rong kept staring at Chen Fu, but the maid beside her couldn't help but said, "Look at her, how arrogant is she?"
Even their young mistresses would stand when they arrived at the Palace of Heavenly Purity to greet His Majesty, except for Concubine Shen.
"She is still at the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, flirting with His Majesty."
"Your Majesty is really something. You just let her stand when she came, but your heart is only biased towards Concubine Shen, and you just let her sit and wait!"
The palace maids' eyes were filled with jealousy, but Concubine Rong was more calm than ever before.
She was neither angry nor turbulent.
He just turned his gaze away calmly, with no emotion visible in his dark eyes:
"Let's go."
Concubine Rong left through the back door, and Shen Fu changed the tea several times before she realized it.
"Has Concubine Rong gone back?" She was waiting at the door, but no one came out.
Concubine Rong was better, she actually left through the back door.
Shen Fu tapped the armrest lightly with her fingertips. I immediately understood the purpose of Concubine Rong's actions.
I guess Concubine Rong saw me and just didn't want to face me head-on.
"Yes." The eunuch nodded, and then quickly raised his head to look at Shen Fu: "Concubine Shen, how about you follow me into the house?"
"Did His Majesty let me in?" Chen Fu asked after putting down the teacup as she listened to the report from the eunuch beside her.
"Not really."
The young eunuch held the tray and shook his head like a rattle: "There was no sound in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Eunuch Lin probably didn't have time to tell His Majesty that you were here."
"It's just that when I was serving tea just now, Eunuch Lin winked at me and asked you to come in, young master."
The young eunuch bent his waist and wished he could bury his head in the ground. After he finished speaking, he didn't even dare to look at Shen Fu.
Chen Fu met the young eunuch's eyes and cursed Lin An in her heart as an old fox.
In such a scenario, he wanted to let her go over and resist the Emperor's wrath.
Although Shen Fugang did not see Concubine Rong, judging from the noise in the room just now, there must have been a bloody storm inside.
Even a person of Rong Guifei's status was reprimanded by His Majesty. If Chen Fu went there at this time, wouldn't she be asking for trouble?
This Lin An is a smart guy.
He didn't dare to say anything, but instead he put the idea on her.
Shen Fu didn't want to get involved at all.
"I came here today to discuss matters with His Majesty."
Chen Fu stood up from the chair and smiled at the young eunuch kneeling on the ground, "Your Majesty is in a bad mood right now. If I go in, I'm afraid it will only cause more trouble."
Normally, His Majesty is not angry, but his weird temper is already difficult enough to serve.
Today, the emperor is full of anger. Is Shen Fu crazy to go in headfirst?
"Now that His Majesty is busy, I can't bother him with such a small matter. Wait for Eunuch Lin and tell him that it's time for me to take the pregnancy-maintaining medicine. I'll go back and take it first."
After Shen Fu finished speaking, without waiting for the young eunuch to react, she quickly left, pulling Zi Su beside her.
The little eunuch was left standing there, holding the tray in his hands, not daring to keep him or chase him.
He stood there, his face turning blue.
"My Lord, why should we leave?"
Only after the sedan chair had left the palace did Zi Su dare to speak: "My lady, you have waited for so long, why don't you just wait a little longer to see His Majesty?"
"Noble Concubine Rong and His Majesty are having a conflict, why should I get involved?"
Shen Fu put her hand on her chin.
"Your Majesty will not depose Concubine Rong anyway. Concubine Rong will still hold the highest position in the harem."
"She interfered at this time. If she offended someone, how should we deal with her in the future?"
Besides, she didn't know what the reason was between His Majesty and Concubine Rong.
I don't know the reason, and whatever I say will be wrong, so it's better not to say anything.
Chen Fu rubbed her brows with her hand, looking at Zi Su's confused expression, and was too lazy to continue explaining.
As soon as the sedan chair stopped in the Hehuan Palace and Chen Fu got off, she heard Xiao Guizi's report.
It was said that news had come from the Qianqing Palace that His Majesty had issued an imperial decree, depriving Concubine Rong of her authority to manage the harem.
As soon as the news reached the harem, everyone in the harem knew about it.
This is the first time that Concubine Rong has been deprived of her authority to manage the harem after so many years.
People in the harem were in panic, and it was rumored that the Emperor's action might mean something big was going to happen.
Chen Fu was equally uneasy, and had the door of the Hehuan Palace closed before it got dark.
However, the door of the Hehuan Palace had just been closed.
Soon after, Xiao Yu brought his men and came walking on the moon.
Appeared silently in the Hehuan Palace.
