Such a big thing happened in the harem, it can't be concealed even if you want to.
The news that Concubine Rong was demoted to a concubine soon became known to everyone.
In the Cining Palace.
Rong Fei was kneeling outside the courtyard. It was almost summer and the midday sun was scorching.
On the bluestone slab of the Cining Palace, Rong Fei was kneeling in a simple and elegant dress. Under the scorching sun, I felt hot all over after kneeling for a while.
Rong Fei knelt for a long time and felt dizzy. She staggered to her feet and glanced ahead.
The servants in the Cining Palace came and went, but no one looked at her.
Rong Fei had been in the high position of Imperial Concubine for so long that anyone who saw her would bow and nod to curry favor with her.
Now that she had just been demoted to the position of a concubine, these people wouldn't even look at her.
Concubine Rong was well aware of the ups and downs of the palace, but the contrast was so quick and she still felt a huge gap in her heart.
She knelt on the ground, looking at the tightly closed palace gate in front of her, and the resentment in her heart grew stronger and stronger: "Empress Dowager, please see me, Empress Dowager."
Rong Fei knelt on the ground and shouted, her hoarse voice could not hide the unwillingness in her heart.
She had been exposed to the sun for too long, and the sweat from her forehead dripped onto the bluestone slabs. Rong Fei lowered her eyes, and just as she lowered her eyes, she saw a pair of feet walking in front of her without her knowing.
Rong Fei immediately raised her head and saw that the person coming was Madam Hu who was beside the Empress Dowager.
Aunt Hu had a plain face, and there was not a trace of smile on her expression.
Her cold eyes fell on Concubine Rong, and Madam Hu said indifferently: "The Empress Dowager asked you to go back."
Just a few words seemed to have shattered Rong Fei's beautiful dream.
All her expectations vanished in an instant after hearing these words.
"Mammy." Rong Fei's upright figure suddenly fell down.
She knelt on the ground with her body stiff, and fear began to show in her eyes.
She had never felt so sad when His Majesty demoted her.
But at this time he heard that the Queen Mother was unwilling to pay attention to him. Only then did Rong Fei begin to feel truly nervous and frightened.
This illusory feeling made her unable to grasp it for a moment. He could only move forward like a floating duckweed and firmly grasp the hem of the person in front of him.
"Aunt...Aunt really doesn't want to see me?"
Matron Hu looked at the hand that was holding her robe, and there was no other unnecessary expression on her plain face.
He just bowed his head respectfully and said, "You should call her the Queen Mother."
The blood color on Rong Fei's face disappeared completely. She lowered her head in a hurry, and the blood color disappeared completely.
"Please...please, Madam, speak well of the Empress Dowager when you have time."
"I will do my best."
Concubine Rong knelt on the ground, looking at the closed palace gate in the distance. It was far away, but I could vaguely hear the sound of chanting coming from afar.
She knew that there would be no good outcome if she waited any longer.
Concubine Rong closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then stood up with the help of Nanny Qin's hand.
After seeing Rong Fei's back disappear, Madam Hu went back.
There was a faint scent of sandalwood in the side hall. Under the plaque with the words "May you live a long and happy life" in the main hall, Empress Dowager Rong was kneeling on a cushion.
The scent of sandalwood in the room was extremely strong. As soon as Madam Hu walked forward, the Queen Mother, with her back to her, asked, "Has the person been sent away?"
"Empress Rong is gone." Madam Hu saw that the sandalwood under the Buddha statue was about to go out.
He stepped forward, picked up a stick of sandalwood and lit another: “Before you leave, beg your servant. I will plead for mercy in front of you again.”
As Matron Hu spoke, she tried to test the Empress Dowager's reaction.
After all, Concubine Rong is still a member of the Rong family.
He is even more closely related to the Empress Dowager and is from the same family.
With the Empress Dowager around, no matter how outrageous Concubine Rong does, the Empress Dowager will protect her.
"It is precisely because she is Yu Gong's niece that Yu Gong's heart is chilled."
The Queen Mother closed her eyes and said calmly.
Matron Hu glanced at the Empress Dowager's expression and dared not reply. She could only silently put the incense in the incense burner and then knelt down and left.
******
Concubine Rong was demoted to a concubine.
Naturally, the power to manage the harem was also taken away from him.
Compared with the lively atmosphere in the past, Rong Fei's palace was now as quiet as a cold palace. Everyone knew that Concubine Rong had made His Majesty angry and no one dared to go to her palace for fear of bringing bad luck upon Him.
Except for Concubine Xiang who reacted.
Ever since Xiang Guipin found out that it was Concubine Rong who was behind this, she started to blame Concubine Rong again.
From time to time, he would go to the gate of Rong Fei's palace and yell insults at her.
She has a bad temper and is very good at scolding people.
All kinds of dirty words and ugly words came out.
Concubine Rong was still under house arrest and could not go out. She was miserable because of Concubine Xiang's troubles every day.
This matter became a joke in the harem and spread everywhere.
Even Chen Fu, who never went out of the house, heard the news.
"Concubine Xiang passed away again early this morning." Zi Su was so scared after that day that she didn't sleep well for several days.
As soon as Cui'er died, she searched the Hehuan Palace from top to bottom, paying special attention to the movements in Ronghua Palace.
Seeing that no one was in the room at this time, she dared to step forward and said to Shen Fu: "It's strange that Xiang Guipin has been making such a fuss, but His Majesty doesn't teach her a lesson."
This matter is indeed strange and tight.
The matter of witchcraft became known to everyone in the palace. His Majesty did not even let Rong Fei go, although the punishment was not severe.
But due to Rong Fei's family background, the punishment from His Majesty was enough to make Rong Fei suffer.
But when it came to Concubine Xiang, His Majesty did not blame her at all.
Feifan did not blame her, but let her do whatever she wanted. Even though they went to Ronghua Palace to provoke him everywhere, the Emperor just turned a blind eye.
Allowing Concubine Xiang to humiliate Concubine Rong like this, it was as if... as if she did it on purpose.
Zi Su said, looking at Shen Fu cautiously.
However, Shen Fu's expression did not change at all, she just sneered and said:
"Noble Concubine Xiang is so angry just because she feels that she was used by Concubine Rong. What would she think if she knew that Ling Chun beside her was also someone close to Concubine Rong?"
Xiang Guipin really hasn't figured out Rong Fei's plan yet.
She was only concerned with venting her anger, but she didn't think about how big a problem would be if she kept a troublemaker around.
"Master, what do you mean?"
Chen Fu smiled and said, "Send someone to secretly pass the news to Xiang Guipin."
Ling Chunliu was ultimately a nuisance to Concubine Xiang.
Chen Fu didn't mind that Concubine Xiang was killed, but she didn't want Ling Chun to become Rong Fei's helper.
Now that the relationship has been broken, there is no need to endure it any longer.
Shen Fu now had no interest in teaching Rong Fei a lesson.
But she was still happy to cause trouble for Concubine Rong.
She was too busy to spare the time for this, so Xiang Guipin must be willing to do it.
Zi Su looked at the smile on Chen Fu's face and instantly understood everything.
She quickly bent down and stepped back: "Master, don't worry, I will complete the task."
As for other things, it is a bit troublesome to make Perilla. But when it comes to delivering small messages, Zi Su is very capable.
At dinner time, Zi Su came back excitedly: "My Lady, the matter has been settled."
Zi Su walked forward happily, while Chen Fu was having a meal at that time.
