Rong Qi's body was secretly carried out of the palace in the middle of the night.
When the body was sent back to the Rong Mansion, the old lady of the Rong family was heartbroken and fell ill on the spot. Although Rong Qi was born to her stepmother, she had been doted on since she was born, much more favored than any other male in the family.
The happy 壉宫 only found a dead body when he returned. No one could accept this.
The Rong family was in chaos, and the entire Rong mansion was in a gloomy mood.
Those who wanted to seek an explanation from the Rong Mansion did not dare to ask the Emperor, but instead went to the Empress Dowager one by one.
The Wanshou Palace has been closed for the past few days.
But the Queen Mother tried to avoid suspicion again, and the truth could not be concealed.
Let’s not talk about the death of someone in the palace, let’s just say that Rong Fei went from being a high-ranking concubine to a commoner with no rank overnight.
Still waiting to be banished to the cold palace by His Majesty.
Such a big thing cannot be covered even if the people in power want to.
Overnight, every concubine in the palace felt in danger.
Everyone was wondering what happened that day, except for the Hehuan Palace, where nothing happened.
"My queen, the queen mother is staying indoors. I'm afraid she's afraid that the Rong family will cause trouble again."
These days, the concubines in the palace did not dare to go out, so Chen Fu simply closed the door.
Instead, he sent Xiao Guizi over to find out the news around him.
Xiao Guizi is extremely well-informed, and most of the news in the palace cannot escape his eyes.
He had just finished reporting all the news he had just received today when the Empress Dowager couldn't help but chuckle.
"The Rong family is the Empress Dowager's family after all." Shen Fu was not surprised at this.
"Even if the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother, Your Majesty is not a relative.
The Rong family is prosperous, and she, as the queen mother, is doing a good job. “Shen Fu stood at the corner of the corridor, carefully looking after the flowers in the pots.
Midsummer is halfway over and autumn is just around the corner.
Last year, the begonias sprouted early, but this year, maybe the weather was a little hot, the sprouts in the flowerpots did not move at all.
"Your Majesty, do you think that the Rong family will become an enemy of the Empress Dowager?"
Xiao Guizi was sharp-eyed. When she saw Chen Fu squatting down, she immediately picked up a pair of scissors beside her and handed them to her.
Chen Fu took the scissors and carefully trimmed the branches of the crabapple tree.
"It's impossible for us to be enemies, but there will definitely be conflicts."
Rong Qi is not like other people. Although she is a stepmother, she is the legitimate daughter.
Unlike Concubine Rong who was not favored since childhood, Rong Qi grew up in great pampering.
Now she is dead, and she died after being taken to the palace by the Queen Mother.
Even though the Rong family knew that this person was the empress dowager, they must still feel uncomfortable.
It's not hatred, but once there is friction, things won't be as good as before.
But Chen Fu would not explain these to Xiao Guizi and others.
"You should pay more attention to Wanshou Palace in the future." Rong Fei was demoted to the cold palace, and now Chen Fu's only open enemy was the Empress Dowager.
Chen Fu would feel at ease only if she let Xiao Guizi keep an eye on Wanshou Palace more.
"Don't worry, Guizi. I will keep a close eye on you!" Xiao Guizi nodded and was about to go down while bending down.
But Shen Fu wanted to say something and called her again.
She handed the scissors in her hand to Zi Su who was standing beside her, and took the handkerchief to wipe her hands.
Shen Fu looked down at her palm, but said nonchalantly: "What's going on with His Majesty?"
Zizi finally asked.
When Xiao Guizi heard Chenfu's voice, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
These days, whenever he went to the Qianqing Palace, Eunuch Lin An would always come to ask about his mother's condition.
He waited for so long, and finally Empress Dowager came to ask His Majesty.
When Xiao Guizi thought about this, she couldn't help but smile. But he didn't dare to smile at the empress, and he bent over and spoke carefully.
"The Emperor in the Palace of Heavenly Purity said that he was in a bad mood these days. He has been reviewing memorials and has not rested at all."
Xiao Guizi knew that something was wrong between the Emperor and Xiao Yu in the past few days.
He reported dutifully, "Besides that, I met Meng Siyao alone twice, and then nothing happened."
After hearing this, Shen Fu lowered her head and remained silent for a while. The hands holding the handkerchief couldn't help but tighten a little.
Even though she knew that there was nothing wrong with His Majesty meeting Meng Siyao, Shen Fu still felt a little unhappy when she thought of Meng Siyao's face that looked like her own.
"That's enough." Chen Fu raised her hand and pinched her brows. She looked at the crabapple flowers again and no longer had the heart to pick them up.
She waved her hand: "Go down."
Because of her, the Queen Mother lost two nieces in succession. Now there are no more members of the Rong family in His Majesty's harem, considering the Empress Dowager's character.
This revenge must be taken on her.
At this moment, all of Chen Fu's thoughts were on the Queen Mother's Palace.
But just waiting is not a solution.
Shen Fu has not forgotten that she can be where she is today because His Majesty is on her side.
Thinking of what His Majesty had said to her that day, Shen Fu couldn't help but blush.
She needs to think of a way to appease the Emperor as soon as possible.
Only His Majesty always stood on her side, and whatever the Queen Mother did had no effect on Shen Fu.
*********
Chen Fu stared at the Wanshou Palace.
The situation is exactly the same with the Empress Dowager. The Rong family has been sending people over from time to time in the past few days.
He wrote letters and handed over signs to ask for a meeting.
The Queen Mother refused them all.
