Chapter 238 Is Xipin panicking?
Although Concubine De was under house arrest, she was not completely unaware of the news outside.
"I heard that the emperor came out of Yanning Palace and went straight to Changfu Palace." Furong reported carefully.
At this moment, Concubine De no longer looked as disheveled and grief-stricken as she did during the day. Her hair had long been combed neatly and she was sitting upright on the couch, but her face was a little pale.
She smiled coldly, "If she can make the emperor dislike her, then it won't be in vain."
But thinking of the eldest prince, Concubine De couldn't help feeling sad. She really didn't expect that the emperor would directly let the eldest prince move to the prince's residence. He was still so young, it was really cruel.
She finally understood that the emperor had no affection for her at all.
From now on, she still has to rely on the prince.
Seeing her sad, Furong comforted her, "Don't be sad, Madam. Fortunately, the nanny is ours. With her by his side, the eldest prince will never forget you."
Concubine De nodded and sighed, "It is impossible to bring the prince back to my side. I just hope that he can feel sorry for me and help me persuade the emperor."
"It's my fault too. I always think he is my son. It doesn't matter how much Yun Qin tries to please him. Instead, he is being taken advantage of!"
Speaking of this, Furong's face was cold, "I don't know who it is that actually plotted against the queen."
"Who else could it be?" De Fei snorted coldly, "Apart from that old hag, the Queen Mother, who else could plot against the Crown Prince under my nose!"
"The Queen Mother? Is she really not afraid of hurting the Crown Prince?"
"Do you think she really loves the eldest prince?" Defei sneered, "What she wants is the eldest grandson born from the empress's belly. What does the eldest prince mean to her?"
"Now there is another woman who has come and promised that even if the queen is useless, it is okay to let her give birth to a child and give it to the queen to raise."
Furong couldn't help but say, "The Queen Mother wants the grandson to be from the Fang family, right?"
Concubine De laughed, "That old woman is so greedy. She can't control her own son, so she can only hope to control her grandson."
"She doesn't even understand her own son. How can the emperor tolerate her?"
"Just wait and see if this palace will be bustling in the future."
——
Not only did Yiyang Palace receive the news, other palaces also received the news that Concubine Xi was quarreling with the Emperor again.
This time they were not so excited.
After all, he had just seen Xipin's abilities during the day and saw how much the emperor enjoyed her. Who knew what means she would use to coax the emperor back this time.
Even the queen didn't take it to heart when she heard about it.
He also said to Lanying: "Let's wait and see. Concubine Xi is not in good health now. Maybe the emperor will not be able to help but visit her again, even if it doesn't take until the day after tomorrow."
Hearing her teasing the emperor like this, Lan Ying pursed her lips and smiled.
Looking at the queen teasing the little princess, her eyes and brows were rarely relaxed and gentle, and the candlelight burning in the palace seemed to be a little warmer, no longer having the previous cold and miserable feeling.
She suddenly felt that it was quite good for the Empress to be just like this, and Lanying's desire to compete with others faded a little.
But this time, it was beyond the Queen's expectations.
Until three days later, the emperor did not visit Xipin again. He even accepted the soup that Nie Da promised to send to the emperor, which made everyone in the harem start to be interested again.
After three days of silence, Concubine Xi finally panicked and dragged her sick body to Fengyi Palace.
The queen looked at Yun Qin, who was wiping tears in front of her, and was still a little unresponsive. After all, it had been such a long time since she had stepped into her Fengyi Palace except for paying respects.
He acted more superior than her, the queen, and now he has come to visit. Why is he suddenly so impatient this time?
"Your Highness, I know that the Emperor is angry, but I am also really wronged. I have been through such a close call with death. I don't understand why it is wrong to ask the Emperor to find the murderer."
Seeing that she looked a bit stubborn, the queen understood that she was frightened because she almost died, and she was obsessed with finding the person who hurt her.
The Empress knew clearly in her heart that apart from her, the only person in the palace who could plot against Concubine De was the Empress Dowager.
The Emperor was naturally aware of this, and considering Concubine Xi's intelligence, she might not be unaware of this either.
She made such a fuss with the emperor, obviously wanting him to ask the empress dowager for an explanation. No wonder the emperor was so angry.
Seeing her shoulders shaking from crying, the Queen couldn't help but say to Rong Xin, "Why don't you persuade your master?"
Rong Xin hurriedly said, "Master, please take care of yourself. Please stop crying."
Yun Qin seemed to have noticed her own misbehavior. She wiped the tears from her face and choked up, "Your Majesty, I really have no other choice but to ask Your Majesty to intercede for me and ask the Emperor to see me."
It's clear that she hasn't given up.
The queen didn't want to get involved in this matter, but she had come to her, and she looked really pitiful. "Since you've come to me, I'll say a few more words."
"Even if I mediate and make the emperor calm down, what does it matter if he meets you? You will still have to ask the emperor for an explanation, and then the situation will still be the same. If you are determined to make trouble, am I doing such a thankless task?"
The Queen's answer was completely within Yunqin's expectations.
She didn't come here to ask the Queen to mediate. She just wanted to make a big fuss about this matter, the bigger the better, so that the people in the harem, especially Nie Danying, could see how vicious she was.
It would be best if you could feel that she was completely frightened and crazy, but still quicken her movements.
"Your Majesty?" Yun Qin looked as if she couldn't even sit still. She leaned on Rong Xin and cried, "Your Majesty, are you really unwilling to help me?"
The Queen did not respond, but only said: "You are in such poor health, you should listen to my advice and go back to rest."
Seeing her emaciated appearance, the Queen shook her head slightly. She was worried too much and did not look like she would live a long life.
Yun Qin also didn't want to appear too confusing or too different from her previous character, which would arouse suspicion.
She showed a hopeless and disheartened look, supported Rong Xin's hand and stood up tremblingly, bowed to the queen, and said, "I am sorry to bother you. I will take my leave now."
Afterwards, she held Rong Xin's hand and walked out of the hall with difficulty.
Listening to the empress's sigh behind her, Yun Qin thought that this was just the beginning. Later she wanted to faint outside the Fengyi Palace and bring this scene to its climax.
As soon as she walked out of Fengyi Palace, Yun Qin's body went limp and she fell directly into Rong Xin's arms.
Rong Xin did not disappoint everyone and immediately shouted "My Queen!"
This shout startled almost half of the palace.
Rong Xin knew that Yun Qin was acting, so she did not take her to Fengyi Palace. Instead, she helped her onto the sedan chair and hurried to Yanning Palace.
After seeing and hearing the noise, Lan Ying ran out and snorted angrily.
She felt that this meant that her mother could not be trusted.
