Chapter 368 Murder (2/2)



Concubine Rong stood straight and only raised her face when she heard the voice.

Her face was splattered with blood. Her face was covered with blood.

"She wants to replace the Queen Mother." Rong Fei turned around calmly and threw the candlestick in her hand to the ground.

"Then the palace killed her!"

***********

Chen Fu was promoted to Zhao Fei, and the news spread throughout the palace as fast as wings.

After the concubines got the news, no one dared to offend them.

Chen Fu has now become Concubine Zhao and has the authority to manage the harem.

Even Rong Fei, who was a noble concubine at the time, could not compare to her, let alone these little concubines who could never see the Emperor twice in their lifetime.

Chen Fu had just returned from the Qianqing Palace when she saw many concubines standing at the entrance of the Hehuan Palace.

"Why is it so lively?" Chen Fu sat in the sedan chair, lifted the curtain and looked inside.

Each of the concubines was accompanied by palace maids and servants, a huge group of people. Chen Fu felt overwhelmed after taking a look.

"These are all here to congratulate you on your promotion to the rank of consort."

Shisu stood at the door of the sedan chair, and there were several smiling faces.

"Your Highness has now become Consort Zhao. In terms of status, you are the most honorable in the entire harem. These people know that your Highness is favored now, so they naturally come to curry favor with you."

When Zi Su said this, her eyebrows and eyes were full of pride.

She followed Shen Fujing.

Since entering Bauhinia City, there have been countless things, big and small, and she has witnessed countless of them.

She even watched with her own eyes her master climb up step by step.

She herself had seen a lot of the hardships involved and the gossip and gossip from outside.

But today, I can finally feel proud of myself.

In the past, there were people who looked down on Her Majesty, but now She is the one with the highest position in the harem.

Look how proud those people are now.

When Zi Su thought of the people standing at the door, including Concubine Shu Gui, she couldn't help laughing: "My lady, Concubine Shu Gui is here too."

In the past, Concubine Shu was the first one who was dissatisfied with Shen Fu.

Shen Fu was promoted today, so shouldn't she come and congratulate him?

Chen Fu sat in the sedan chair and looked at Yuan carefully.

The crowd was so huge that it was hard to tell who was who. However, Shen Fu could still recognize some of the graceful and moving figures.

If I go directly to them at this time, these people will have to salute me even if they are unwilling.

Thinking of this, Shen Fu put down the curtain and said, "Turn around and go back!"

Shen Fu doesn't need false congratulations.

Besides, she is already eye-catching enough today. If you go any further you will only attract jealousy and hatred, so it is better to stay away from it.

Shen Fu gave the order out loud.

However, Zi Su, who was guarding outside, misheard: "Wha... what?"

Zi Su asked in a daze, "Madam, you're not coming over?"

They were almost at the palace gate.

Do I have to go back home at this time?

Zi Su's face was full of disbelief, and Chen Fu sat in the sedan chair, too lazy to speak again.

He just said, "It seems that something was left at His Majesty's place in the palace just now. I will go back to the palace to retrieve it."

Left something behind?

Zi Su nodded in confusion and glanced at the person standing at the door of Hehuan Palace.

He took another look at Chen Fu in the sedan chair, and hurriedly ordered the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair to turn back.

In the Palace of Heavenly Purity

As soon as Shen Fu came, Xiao Yu asked someone to call Meng Siyao over.

In the past few days, His Majesty sent people to summon Zhou Shuyun and Meng Siyao whenever he had time.

Zhou Shuyun closed her mouth tightly. Apart from the few words that he let slip beforehand, he refused to say anything further no matter how hard he was interrogated.

It was as if the words before did not come from her mouth at all.

Meng Siyao, on the other hand, is very timid and will vomit something if she is slightly exploded.

In the past few days, Xiao Yu often went to interrogate Meng Siyao.

He looked at this face that looked similar to Shen Fu, but he could not feel a single bit of joy in his heart. Instead, he felt only disgust.

Every time I think about how one day I will mistake the person in front of me for Shen Fu.

He wished that the person in front of him would disappear right where he was.

But he didn't want Meng Siyao to die so easily.

He looked at Meng Siyao's face, feeling extremely hateful towards her, but he wanted to hear something come out of her mouth.

Xiao Yu didn't know what he wanted to hear from Meng Siyao.

However, he would torture him whenever he had the chance.

The door of the Qianqing Palace was closed tightly, and no one could enter when the Emperor was talking with Meng Siyao.

Even Lin An could only guard the door.

Lin An turned his back to the door frame, looked at the sky above his head, and just raised his hand and yawned.

But when his eyes fell on the door, he paused again.

How come Concubine Zhao just passed away and is back in the blink of an eye?

Lin An thought he had seen it wrong. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes: "Strange, this Concubine Zhao just passed away, how come she is back so soon?"

As he spoke, he quickly raised his head and looked up a few times: "Could it be that my eyes are blocked?"

Lin An was mumbling to himself, but the eunuch beside him hurriedly said, "Grandpa Lin, it's not you who is in trouble, it's Concubine Zhao who has really returned."

The young eunuch said as he hurried down to greet Shen Fu respectfully.

Lin An paused and subconsciously wanted to follow.

But when he thought of something, his expression suddenly changed.

"It's bad!" He slapped his thigh and stood up.

He knocked on the door hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao is back..."

His Majesty was talking to Miss Meng, and if Concubine Zhao came at this time, wouldn't there be misunderstanding if she saw them?

Lin An's face turned pale as he watched Shen Fu getting closer and closer.

He knocked on the door a few more times, not caring whether the people in the house heard him or not.

Then he walked down in two or three steps and went forward to greet Chen Fu: "Empress Zhao, why are you back again?"

While Lin An was leading Chen Fu, he looked towards the inner room with a worried look in his eyes.

"Why is Eunuch Lin guarding the door?" Shen Fu didn't notice anything wrong, but just asked casually: "Is Your Majesty in there?"

"Puff puff!" Lin An raised his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

He looked towards the door with worried eyes: "How about I go in and tell them?"

"No more." Shen Fu replied casually, pushing the door open with both hands and about to go in.

Lin An, who was standing aside, was so frightened that his face turned pale. I watched the door about to be pushed open, and my knees went weak with fear.

Just as he was about to kneel down, he saw the door being opened from the inside.

His Majesty stood at the door, put his hands on the door frame, and looked at Chen Fu: "Why are you back again?"
