Chapter 42 A Peaceful Life
As for Concubine Shen, she knew that she was not well since the imperial physician came to check her. She began to feel uneasy, but she always held a glimmer of hope in her heart, until Jinzhi, who was beside the queen, came over and said expressionlessly: "Concubine Shen, the matter is over. You can go back and rest."
Concubine Shen’s heart dropped.
Discovered.
Concubine Shen’s face turned pale.
Her heart also felt heavy, but she pursed her lips and didn't say much, nor did she beg for mercy.
She never expected that Concubine Yu would react so quickly and immediately ask the imperial physician to take her pulse again.
Concubine Shen didn't know at the moment that Shen Qing had already used the fainting trick once, so Concubine Yu was able to realize so quickly what trick she was trying to play by pretending to be weak.
The only good thing about this incident is that Concubine Yu will probably calm down after this experience, and she won't be punished every day.
She had originally thought that this incident would let the emperor know that she was innocent and that he would always show more pity for her. She could say that by scheming against Concubine Yu she could let the emperor know that she was pitiful, and if she was in the emperor's eyes she would have a good future. But now that she has been discovered, she feels really aggrieved, but she has no other choice. Concubine Yu is so powerful, what else can she do except use the empress to deal with her?
It was dark when Shen Qing heard the news about Concubine Shen.
Chunhua said: "I heard that the emperor was alarmed, and Concubine Shen was carried back, and Concubine Yu was also scolded by the emperor."
Shen Qing found it very strange: "She just fainted at the gate of Fengyi Palace?"
Chunhua said: "Yes, many people saw it."
Thinking about the look on Concubine Shen's face, Shen Qing thought that this person was really daring, that is, "No one got any good out of this incident. I guess the emperor will be displeased with the harem again."
Chunhua still doesn't quite understand.
"The emperor hates these conspiracies and calculations in the palace the most." Shen Qing laughed.
Xuanyuan Ling was indeed inspired by the Ptsd he had watched when he was a child about the Empress Dowager's palace fighting. Even though he knew that the harem could not be clean, he still wanted it to be clean.
It is best for a woman to remain pure forever, but how can an innocent woman survive in a harem?
No, in other words, if he really doesn't know how to guess Xuanyuan Ling's feelings, he's probably only interested in it for a while, right?
Take Concubine Yu for example. She is much worse now than when she first entered the palace.
It’s a bit ironic when you think about it.
It’s like a man likes the type of woman who is well-behaved and sensible, but people will always become spoiled, especially women. No matter how well-behaved a woman is, she will inevitably have different thoughts if she is held in the palm of her hand for a long time.
The emperor will not stop having physical contact with other women, but will secretly demand that a woman always remain the way he likes best. How is this possible?
How can you not feel jealous for someone if you truly love him or her?
When you feel jealous, you will naturally not be the same as before.
Unless, the liking is fake.
Affection is fake.
Only if you don't really like the emperor can you always look like his favorite in front of him and not change yourself because of jealousy.
After thinking about it, she felt that it was a bit ironic. Sincerity was never rational, but the emperor did not like such irrationality. So, don't make yourself suffer. Eating and drinking well is the real thing. Talking to the emperor about sincerity? Is the food in the imperial kitchen no longer delicious?
However, this scene will make Concubine Yu feel at ease for a while, and the Queen will also feel at ease for a while. The two most conspicuous women in the palace are at ease, and Shen Qing will also feel at ease.
And in the next few days, Shen Qing's statement was indeed confirmed.
Xuanyuan Ling felt that the harem was dirty and didn't come for several days.
It was not until seven days later that Xuanyuan Ling came to Zhaohua Palace again.
But I never expected that the gate of Zhaohua Palace was closed.
Xuanyuan Ling hadn't come to the harem for several days. When he finally came, he was turned away?
Zhao Hai was frightened when he saw this, and hurried forward to knock on the door.
Fang Yun came to open the door and saw Xuanyuan Ling, so scared that she knelt on the ground.
Xuanyuan Ling walked in with a gloomy face. Could it be that this little girl was doing something shameful in there, as she closed the door in broad daylight?
When Shen Qing saw Xuanyuan Ling coming, he obviously thought of the door and looked a little flustered.
Xuanyuan Ling was somewhat displeased, he knew that Shen Qing was fooling around in private, but he was not indulging her without a bottom line, it would have been fine if he had someone outside watching her secretly in the room, but he actually asked someone to close the door.
What? Are you on guard against him too?
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry." As if she saw that he was displeased, Shen Qing's movements were a little hesitant and cautious.
Xuanyuan Ling said in a deep voice: "Tell me the truth, what are you doing in private?"
"No, I didn't." Shen Qing hurried to explain, but it seemed difficult to say, and finally whispered: "A few days ago, it was rumored in the harem that Concubine Shen asked Concubine Yu to punish her."
"I am close to the Imperial Garden, and people are always coming and going. That's why I keep the door closed during the day, thinking that if the Emperor summons me, I will always have someone inform me." At this point, she urgently explained, "I will also open the door at dinner time."
What I mean is, I really didn’t close the door just to protect you.
Xuanyuan Ling understood what she heard. She was afraid that Concubine Yu would be implicated as well, so she closed the door.
After hearing this, Xuanyuan Ling felt a little relieved.
