Chapter 203 Shura Field
Sun Liangren was beaten to death at the gate of his own palace. He screamed so miserably that for a short period of time, no one dared to pass by there.
Xuanyuan Ling simply issued an order that no one should mention the third prince's biological mother anymore.
From then on, there was no such person as Sun Liangren in the palace, and she was no longer the biological mother of the third prince. The biological mother of the third prince was only Concubine Chun.
A few days later, when paying respects, the Queen brought up the matter again: "I'm sure everyone knows about Mr. Sun's affair. You should take this as a warning. The Emperor cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes, and I am the same."
The other concubines naturally nodded in agreement, but Concubine Li was the only one with a pale face.
Sun Liangren is a lesson for her.
A few days ago, the Queen hinted to her that she should be more obedient.
Not long after that, Sun Liangren was beaten to death. She was really scared and didn't dare to play any tricks. Now the Queen was watching her closely and she couldn't play any tricks. She could still find Concubine Yu in private before. She had a child at that time and people who looked at her were afraid that she would be angry, so she could still come out. But now it's really impossible.
Li Guiren's eyes went dark and she almost fainted. Others felt that their future life would be hopeful after having a child. She also thought so in the past. If this child was given to the Queen and had a bright future, she, as the child's mother, would also benefit from it.
But now she hated herself for openly showing her kindness to the Queen. Now she was trembling with fear, not knowing whether she could save her life. When she died, it would definitely be the Queen who killed her, but her child still had to recognize the Queen as his mother.
Not only did Concubine Li not tell us how to proceed, she couldn't even see the way forward.
But Concubine Li didn't know that Chu Linglong saw her like this.
Sun Liangren's case was not a good thing. Even if we should take it as a warning, who in the harem doesn't know it? It was clearly the Queen who deliberately said this to Li Guiren.
Chu Linglong is not stupid. She knows that one must be on guard against others, so she also keeps an eye on the people in the harem.
Now the situation in the harem has formed a strange balance. The Queen is out of favor, but she has taken over the Fourth Prince, Concubine Yu is out of favor but has three princesses, Concubine Chun is out of favor but has three princes, Concubine An lives in seclusion and is rarely seen on weekdays, Concubine Xi is favored but has no children and cannot give birth, and Chu Linglong has observed her personality for a long time and she doesn't seem like someone who would cause trouble.
This is the case with all the main ladies in the palace now, and the newcomers are all fertile. It can be said that in the current situation, the one who rises first will be the first to fall.
Sun Liangren’s previous experience was a lesson for us. Sun Liangren’s father was also implicated because of Sun Liangren’s incident and I heard that he has been dismissed from office.
Chu Linglong would not take that path.
After paying her respects, Chu Linglong rarely felt like going back to the palace. In fact, she didn't want to go with Concubine Ru, so she went towards the Imperial Garden.
Chu Linglong was used to freedom in the past, and her family didn't care about her. But now she feels much more restricted after entering the palace. It is really boring to look at the same scenery every day. She looks at the sky, which is blue sky and white clouds, but the high palace wall blocks her view of only the sky.
She sat in the pavilion to rest for a while. Perhaps because the weather was quite hot, she soon became drowsy. Ming Su asked beside her, "My beauty, shall we go home?"
Chu Linglong shook her head: "Go back later."
Ming Su said, "It's hot outside, don't get too hot." She knew that Chu Linglong was afraid of heat.
Chu Linglong said, "There may not be any ice to use when we go back, so it's better to stay by the pond, where there are green shades and lotus ponds, and it's cooler."
Ming Su was a little angry: "Empress Rufei is the head of a palace after all, but she withheld the ice money from the beauty to supplement herself."
Chu Linglong was very afraid of heat. She was a beauty and there wasn't much ice in her ration. Her father loved her and gave her a lot of subsidies before she entered the palace. She also spent money, but Concubine Ru was a woman who couldn't stand others doing well. When she saw her using ice, she sneered and took the ice away.
This was outside the normal routine, so Chu Linglong decided to keep quiet.
Ming Su said it knowing that it was useless and would only cause trouble.
Chu Linglong was not angry at her words. She just wanted to have some peace and quiet at the moment. The green all around made her feel good, so she closed her eyes and rested for a while. It turned out that maybe it was because she didn't have ice and didn't sleep well last night, she felt drowsy and actually took a nap here for a while.
Ming Su felt sorry for Chu Linglong who couldn't sleep due to the heat at night, so he didn't call for help. She slept for half an hour. When she woke up in a daze, she only heard Ming Su's voice: "My beauty, it seems that the emperor is coming."
When Chu Linglong heard the word "Emperor", she suddenly woke up. She suddenly opened her eyes and was suddenly hurt by the light. When she looked carefully, she found that there was not only the emperor, but there was also someone else beside the emperor, and the person was holding an umbrella. Chu Linglong took a quick look and found that it was Concubine Xi?
Chen Qing never thought that one day he would be dragged out by Xuanyuan Ling to bask in the sun. It was poisonous. Why would he bask in the sun in such a hot day? Would he be dried into meat?
"No umbrellas allowed." Xuanyuan Ling said, "Didn't you listen to the imperial physician's orders? You've been given extra ice drinks, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has even sent you ice. It's so cold in your room, but you don't go out on a normal day. What do you want to do to your body?"
Shen Qing was really earnest: "Your Majesty, I really paid attention to it. It's not too cold. I would go out for a walk in the past." If you want to dispel the coldness in your body, it would be good to go out and move around when the sun is not so hot. Who would be exposed to the sun in the middle of summer? Are you sick?
"It's still early, not even noon. You're weak, so you should get stronger."
Chen Qing: "...Your Majesty, is this strength indicative of my skin being dark and shiny in the future?"
Is strong a word generally used to describe girls?
Xuanyuan Ling looked back at Shen Qing's fair and rosy skin under the sunlight and was really reluctant to let her go, but he really did it for her good: "Nonsense, you are naturally fair, even if you get tanned in the summer, you can still get it back in the winter."
Just as Chen Qing was about to explain to him what sunburn was, Chu Linglong saluted Xuanyuan Ling.
Neither of them expected that there would be someone in the Imperial Garden at this moment.
Then Shen Qing felt a little subtle when he saw Chu Linglong.
Chu Linglong bowed gracefully, performing the etiquette in a very standard manner.
Xuanyuan Ling said, "Get up."
Shen Qing looked at Xuanyuan Ling and then at Chu Linglong in front of him——
Well, she witnessed the chance encounter between the hero and heroine.
It’s not that I don’t know that Xuanyuan Ling favors Chu Linglong, but after all, I have never seen the two of them together, right?
Now that these three people have met, Shen Qing, from her modern perspective, as a person who has traveled through the book, saw the hero and heroine meet by chance. From Xipin's perspective, as both are concubines, she and Xuanyuan Ling met another concubine together. This scene is somewhat like a Shura field.
