Chapter 236 Biased
No matter how stupid Concubine Chen is, she can't believe that Chen Mianmian didn't show anything yesterday, but now she has left the palace. This doesn't make sense.
However, although Concubine Chen guessed that Concubine Zhou's affair was related to Chen Mianmian, Chen Mianmian did not tell her the truth. She did not know the truth. She was a little unconvinced at first about Chen Mianmian's "leaving the palace", but then she felt relieved.
Ever since Chen Mianmian spoke to her like that yesterday, she really didn't know what to do with Chen Mianmian. Now that she has "left the palace", she will probably never see the emperor again. For Concubine Chen, this is a good thing.
"Thank you, Queen."
The Queen was looking at Concubine Chen.
She looked guilty when she saw Concubine Chen coming, but now she is not afraid when she knows that Chen Mianmian has left the palace. It can be seen that even if Chen Mianmian really did something, she must not have any accomplices, otherwise she would have been afraid first without knowing the reason and only knowing that Chen Mianmian had left the palace.
It would have been fine if she hadn't been involved in anything. After all, Concubine Chen was so timid that she would only pretend to be sick and would not dare to use some crude means to plot against others. In the Queen's view, it was fine to leave her alone. She had already placed people around her to report any movement at any time.
After the Queen resolved Chen Mianmian's issue, she let the matter go. Concubine Chen was relieved to leave Fengyi Palace, but she was not completely relieved. After all, she was still not in the Emperor's eyes.
But after what happened with Chen Mianmian, she didn't dare to make any move for the time being.
The Queen did this quietly, and Chen Mianmian was not a person that everyone paid attention to. She was originally invited into the palace by the Queen Mother, and now she was sent out of the palace, and no one cared whether she was safe outside the palace.
This matter was over for most people, but Concubine Zhou was the only one who couldn't get over it.
Her child was gone without her knowing, and for such a ridiculous reason. Concubine Zhou shed countless tears. Thinking about being dragged away by Chu Linglong at that time, she felt pain and anger in her heart.
Sometimes people feel very uncomfortable when they are sober. She knew that it was an accident and Chu Linglong did not do it on purpose. She didn't even know she was pregnant. There was no such thing as someone deliberately trying to harm her.
She had known Chu Linglong for some time and knew that she was not a vicious person, but the more she knew, the more upset she felt.
Her child died so quietly, and she couldn't even find anyone to blame. What's worse, she later heard the palace maids around her talking about how the emperor sent people to clean the Zhaohua Palace, saying that it was both for tidying up and getting rid of the bad luck.
Her heart was bleeding. She had lost her child, and it seemed that no one else felt sad except her. Was she still being despised and regarded as unlucky?
No one else can understand what Concubine Zhou has in mind, but time goes on naturally.
Apart from cursing a few words in her heart because of Xuanyuan Ling's actions that day, Shen Qing didn't care much about anything else. In the final analysis, as long as it didn't involve her, the coming and going of women in the palace, whether they gave birth to children or not, or simply speaking, whether they were pregnant or not, were not something she cared about so much.
She is well protected now.
Although it is impossible to be completely inconspicuous if one is content, she is obviously favored and has no children but is still content. Compared with other people, her status is not too heartbreaking.
As long as it's not too heartbreaking and there's no deep hatred, the fact that others are plotting against her will naturally be alleviated in a certain sense.
The harem had both overt and covert means to harm people, but if Shen Qing had stayed at home and been more alert in the past, he would have been able to deal with other people's frame-ups, so in daily life, he basically just had to pay more attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Everyone in Zhaohua Palace is very concerned about this. The things that Shen Qing touches, the clothes he wears, the food he eats during the day, and even the places he goes to are all checked from time to time. Such caution protects Shen Qing's safety to a certain extent. In a sense, Zhaohua Palace is protected like an iron barrel. Unless Shen Qing gives a word to reveal some information to the outside world, ordinary people will not be able to find out any useful information.
In terms of protecting her, Xuanyuan Ling can be said to have done his best.
He really treated her as someone who needed to be protected, and he protected her openly and secretly.
In fact, it may not be a bad thing to continue like this.
But this is a fucking palace fighting novel, and the ending has been written. So far, the plot is sometimes connected and sometimes loose. Who knows? Generally speaking, if the emperor dies, the concubine who is not the empress dowager and is not a party of the empress dowager will die miserably.
Chen Qing felt that she had no children and could not become the empress dowager. If she was asked to support someone to become the emperor, she could not see anything now. That was all in the future. At least looking at Chu Linglong now, she really did not think that she could be as favored as in the original novel, or even defeat everyone in the harem and become the empress dowager in the end.
Besides, isn’t there a prerequisite for her to become the queen mother?
The premise is that Xuanyuan Ling died young.
In the original novel, Xuanyuan Ling died of plague. So if this problem was eliminated, could Xuanyuan Ling avoid this death?
After all, with his current love and indulgence for her, if he could live longer, Shen Qing felt that he might be able to live a peaceful life.
Shen Qing patted her head, thinking too much. She was still living a life of fighting against enemies and taking one step at a time. How could she have so much energy to pay attention to other things?
At most, when things come to an end, we can do our best and leave the rest to fate.
Xuanyuan Ling was busy for two days. He was not worried about the matter of Concubine Zhou who had lost her child. He left it to the imperial physician and the queen. The imperial physician looked at her body, and he and the queen gave her some supplements and told her to take good care of herself. That was the end of the matter.
To be honest, Xuanyuan Ling didn't have a deep impression of this noble lady Zhou, and he was not as impressed as Chu Linglong. He could only say that it was a pity that the child was gone, and he didn't show much sympathy. However, he hadn't been to Shen Qing for two days. Originally, when she encountered such a thing that day, he should have stayed to comfort her.
But he was busy with government affairs, so naturally he did not go. Two days have passed, and today he planned to go and coax people.
When everyone arrived at the gate of Zhaohua Palace, Xuanyuan Ling thought about it and realized that his heart was really biased.
Normally, he should go to appease Concubine Zhou, but he was unwilling to go even if the Queen appeased her. After all, he felt that as for Shen Qing, she would throw a tantrum unless he appeased her himself.
Xuanyuan Ling thought about this and went in. He was met with Wang Lu and Fang Yun with very different expressions. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is your master playing now?"
Fang Yun said, "The queen is taking care of her skin."
Xuanyuan Ling knew that Shen Qing could trade things, but he had never seen it before.
Seeing Xuanyuan Ling's intention to take a look, Fang Yun couldn't help but advise: "Your Majesty, it's a bit inconvenient right now."
Xuanyuan Ling thought to himself that he had seen everything she looked like, and did not take Fang Yun's words to heart. Then he went in and saw that Chen Qing was painted like a clay figure, lying there to rest.
Xuanyuan Ling: “…”
