Chapter 207 Imperial Concubine
The eunuch's face darkened, "Tonight... the card that was turned over was that of Concubine Yun."
"What?!" Concubine Yi closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, "It's Yun Zhao again! The Emperor has been visiting Yun Zhao for eleven days in a row. What's going on? Is he trying to give her exclusive favor?!"
Concubine Yi never thought that Yun Zhao would be a threat.
But at this moment, she still felt uneasy.
"The Emperor has never favored one person so much..."
Concubine Yi was in a state of dismay. She looked towards the Rihui Palace, feeling uneasy about herself and the throne of queen that she had not yet obtained.
She is the queen!
The future mother of a nation!
No one is allowed to interrupt her good things!
Yun Zhao took the emperor's pulse every day, but the emperor did not allow him to talk about the symptoms and only allowed him to prescribe medicine.
On this day, Yun Zhao's expression relaxed, unlike the solemn look when he took the pulse before, and the emperor noticed it.
So I asked, "How is it? Is everything going well?"
Yun Zhao was about to speak.
Concubine Yi's personal maid came hurriedly to the door and knelt before the emperor, "Your Majesty, please go and see her. Concubine Yi is not feeling well and is crying out in pain."
The emperor immediately stood up.
As he left, he turned around and asked Yun Zhao, "How is my health now?"
Yun Zhao lowered his head and said, "Please go to Sister Yifei quickly. I will tell you everything in detail when you come back. Also, I will stew the medicine for you."
The emperor pursed his lips and hurried away.
The maid was speechless. After the person was sent away, why was he still thinking about asking the emperor to come back?
Isn't this openly competing with Concubine Yi for someone?
When the emperor passed away, Concubine Yi was lying on the bed, as if she was only breathing her last.
She shed tears, nestling in the emperor's chest and crying.
The emperor felt his heart was broken by tears. After he was comforted, he was about to say that he would rest at Concubine Yi's place when he heard Cuimei say outside, "Your Majesty, the noble lady asked me to ask you when you will be returning. You still need to control the time, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted."
Concubine Yi's face turned ferocious almost immediately!
She immediately asked the emperor, "What do you mean by all the previous efforts wasted?"
The emperor couldn't admit that he couldn't do it, so he gritted his teeth and whispered to Concubine Yi, "I'll come to see you again in a few days. Concubine Yun has just been favored and is very domineering. I have to give in to her, otherwise she will act like a spoiled child in the future and it will be very difficult for me."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yi was shocked and stared at the emperor blankly.
"Your Majesty...has he doted on Concubine Yun to this extent?"
The wind was so strong that night that the windows rattled.
The emperor did not hear what Concubine Yi said.
With tears in her eyes, Concubine Yi saw the emperor walking away in a hurry, the cold wind blowing the yellow hem of his clothes high.
The maidservant was also stunned for a long time. "I have never seen the emperor so eager to see someone. My lady, could it be that the emperor really likes Yun Zhao? I heard before that the emperor took Yun Zhao's portrait and searched the entire capital for her."
Concubine Yi's heart sank suddenly.
She tightened her hands on the quilt!
The next day.
Yun Zhao was admiring the flowers in the yard.
Cuimei whispered, "Master, the wind is strong outside, and the petals are blowing all over the ground. Please go inside, or you will catch a cold."
Yun Zhao shook his head and said to Cui Mei, "Go and make another pot of tea."
Cuimei looked at Yunzhao in confusion.
Yun Zhao smiled faintly and said, "A guest is coming."
When Cuimei brought the freshly brewed tea to the table, Concubine Yi came in from the door.
Yun Zhao didn't stand up, and Concubine Yi didn't care much and just sat down on the chair to Yun Zhao's right.
"You have made up your mind to compete with me for favor, right?" Concubine Yi said.
Yun Zhao poured two cups of tea and handed one to Concubine Yi.
Concubine Yi turned around, her originally graceful face looked haggard, probably because she had not slept all night.
She smiled casually, "I had no intention of competing with you for favor."
"Really?" Concubine Yi couldn't remain calm. "No intention? Then why did you have the Emperor called away from my room last night? What was your intention?"
"Yun Zhao, my brother Chang Heng was seriously injured because of you. How come you have forgotten all that and now you are actually turning against me?!"
These words fell.
Yun Zhao's hand holding the water cup paused for a moment.
"Yes, I should thank Chang Heng."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yi snorted, "I'm glad to know!"
Yun Zhao suddenly turned around, looked at Concubine Yi, and said, "Someone told me before that the murderer who killed my parents had certain characteristics."
Concubine Yi's hand holding the teacup trembled at this moment.
The boiling hot tea fell on her fingers, scalding Concubine Yi so much that she screamed.
Yun Zhao looked at her.
There are some questions that no longer need to be asked.
After Concubine Yi finished tidying herself up and sat down, she quickly looked at Yun Zhao, "What characteristics?"
Yun Zhao said, "Didn't Chang Heng tell you?"
Concubine Yi: "No."
Concubine Yi: "What characteristics? Tell me, I have been in the palace for a long time, maybe I know some clues."
Yun Zhao nodded, "Really? I heard that the person who attacked my parents had a black mole on the palm of his hand."
Concubine Yi's expression suddenly became unnatural. She hooked the hair by her ear and said, "Really? That feature is quite obvious. Have you found it?"
Yun Zhao nodded, "There's some clues."
Concubine Yi looked at Yun Zhao in astonishment. "Who? Yun Zhao, you are capable, but you don't understand the inner court of the palace. There are many twists and turns in it, and there are many people trying to sow discord. Don't just listen to hearsay, you need evidence."
Yun Zhao, "Really? That's right. After all, she's the Queen Mother. I really need to think about it carefully."
Concubine Yi's expression was one of uncontrollable astonishment.
"The Queen Mother?"
Yun Zhao nodded.
Concubine Yi suddenly remembered something, and then she smiled with relief, "You mentioned the secret guards around the Queen Mother. That's indeed possible. They do some dirty work, but since it was the Queen Mother who did it, there's nothing we can do about it."
Yun Zhao's eyes were filled with a distant expression. "Yes, I don't know if she did this because she thought it would never be discovered, or because she thought I would never be able to do anything to her."
Yun Zhao looked deeply at Concubine Yi's profile and asked with a smile, "What does Concubine Yi think?"
Concubine Yi took a sip of tea and said, "How would I know? Okay, nothing else. I'll go pay my respects to the Queen first. I'm leaving."
Concubine Yi left in a hurry, her back looking hasty.
Yun Zhao's eyes darkened.
Yun Zhao was the last one to arrive at the Queen's Palace.
As soon as she came in, everyone in the room, except the queen, looked at Yun Zhao angrily, their faces and noses looking distorted.
The queen was not interested. The competition for favor had nothing to do with her, and she did not dare to provoke Yun Zhao again.
After casually asking Yun Zhao to sit down, he said a few words and asked everyone to leave.
Suddenly, someone said sharply, "Noble Lady Yun is so favored now, but she's not even willing to share a piece with us sisters!"
These words fell.
The emperor looked at Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao looked in the direction of the voice and saw the imperial concubine who was over forty years old.
When the new emperor came to the throne, in order to form an alliance with the previous dynasty, he had no choice but to marry the imperial concubine Chen, who was much older than him.
The Chen family was large, and even the Queen Mother did not dare to offend her.
At this moment, she looked at Yun Zhao viciously, "Fox Meizi, you are quite capable!"
As soon as Yun Zhao entered the room, Cui Mei reminded him that the Imperial Noble Consort and Concubine Yi had been good friends over the years and both disliked the Queen. Concubine Yi did not come today, but when she left Yun Zhao's palace, she took a detour to the Imperial Noble Concubine's bedroom.
I think he exaggerated and said a lot.
