Chapter 207 The Imperial Concubine's Plea
But it doesn’t matter anymore.
Because Xu Lanshan was frightened!
Also got pushed!
I almost fell because of this.
Such consequences are already very serious.
The Queen was horrified and rushed over with Concubine Shu, and chaos broke out again.
Xu Lanshan was sent back to Lianyi Palace, and the concubines knelt in the imperial garden. They were all frightened and their faces turned pale. Some of the timid ones could not bear it and started crying.
In Lianyi Palace, Emperor Yuan Yong was furious.
The queen did not dare to explain or shirk responsibility. Although she was cursing in her heart, she could only apologize repeatedly.
Xu Lanshan was only slightly frightened, not seriously, and she was annoyed by the noise. After the imperial physician Tang examined her, Emperor Yuan Yong ordered all the concubines to leave.
Emperor Yuan Yong wanted to ask for censure, but Xu Lanshan grabbed him and refused to let go, "Your Majesty, I, your concubine, would like to ask Your Majesty to stay and accompany me..."
How could Emperor Yuan Yong be so cruel as to refuse her request? He glanced at the pale-faced woman, sighed softly, and finally stayed.
After leaving Lianyi Palace, Concubine Shu couldn't help but sneer at the Empress, "There's something I really have to say. The Emperor is too partial. Whenever something happens to Concubine Chen, it's always someone else's fault. Concubine Chen is innocent and has done nothing wrong. Take today's incident, for example. Concubine Chen knew she was pregnant, so why did she insist on hanging out with those concubines? She didn't even know to step away when so many people were surrounding her! Ha, does she really like being surrounded by people like that? She never thought about whether there would be any trouble when so many people gathered together. And now, there's another surprise! If everyone else is at fault, she's also at fault for six points!"
"Even if I think about it, I feel dissatisfied!"
The Queen smiled and said, "Alright, stop complaining. Fortunately, nothing serious happened today. I'm very lucky."
Concubine Shu smiled and said, "That's right. Otherwise, it would be the fault of the Empress and me again! Even if that's the case, the Empress and I will probably not be able to escape the Emperor's scolding and punishment. Just wait and see!"
The queen was annoyed and irritated, but she didn't know what to say. Her eyes darkened slightly, and she remained silent.
Concubine Shu sneered again, "Other matters are fine, but I wonder what the Empress intends to do with those ladies kneeling in the Imperial Garden right now? Logically, the Emperor should have made the decision on this matter, but since the Emperor has stayed in Lianyi Palace, who knows when he will leave!"
The Queen said calmly, "There's nothing we can do about it. Right now, the heir in Noble Concubine Chen's womb is naturally more precious. As for those concubines, they caused this themselves. Let them kneel and learn a lesson!"
"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. So be it!"
As a concubine assisting in the management of the six palaces, Shufei had to ask about this matter, but she was just asking. Once she asked, it would be none of her business. The decision should naturally be made by the Queen.
Personally, she wished those concubines would kneel for a while longer!
Who told everyone to rush off to curry favor with Xu Lanshan? Serves them right...
In Lianyi Palace, Xu Lanshan snuggled in Emperor Yuan Yong's arms. Her heart had long since calmed down, but she also felt very uncomfortable.
This palace... has always been like this, it has never changed.
She hadn't expected that she would actually have an accident. Whether it was an accident or not, it didn't matter anymore.
Once she entered the palace, even if she was just a concubine, her competitive spirit was obvious, and she knew that she should seize every opportunity to climb up.
Xu Lanshan thought to herself, even if the system hadn't issued this task, she must prevent the concubines from entering the palace again. Otherwise, it would take her forever to succeed! I'm afraid she'll never be able to do that in this lifetime.
"Why are you so careless?" Emperor Yuan Yong felt distressed but also a little angry: "If just in case - Lan'er, you should take better care of yourself!"
Xu Lanshan's body stiffened slightly when she heard this, and she sighed softly, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry I can't agree with what you said. I've been very careful, and Nanny An, Yuchan and the others have also been serving me very attentively. But Your Majesty, I can't just hide in Lianyi Palace every day and not dare to take a single step outside! Now that I'm pregnant, will I have to be so worried and cautious after the child is born, before he grows up? Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't bear it, and I feel even more sorry for the child! I only hope that the child can grow up happily and freely. This shouldn't be difficult, but now I think it's extremely difficult..."
"I don't mean to blame you, Lan'er, don't think too much. I feel sorry for you, Lan'er. I don't want you to get hurt!" Emperor Yuan Yong was even more distressed. He lowered his head and kissed her repeatedly, gritting his teeth and saying coldly, "I will definitely give Lan'er an explanation for this matter. Don't worry, Lan'er!"
"Your Majesty," Xu Lanshan suddenly put her arms around his waist and raised her eyes from his arms. Her beautiful face showed an expression of unprecedented seriousness and sincerity: "Your Majesty, I beg you to agree to let this matter of today go!"
"Lan'er, why is this?"
"I was just a little frightened. Your Majesty, please listen to what I have to say. I am fine. This must really be an accident. If there is any fault, I am also at fault. What Your Majesty said just now is also right. I should take care of myself and should not run around everywhere. Fortunately, nothing happened. I am lucky and relieved! If Your Majesty wants to punish someone again, there are so many concubines. Will they all be punished? This, this will only bring hatred to me!"
"Hmm?" Emperor Yuan Yong looked at Xu Lanshan with some confusion, as if he didn't quite understand what she meant.
Xu Lanshan burst out laughing, "Your Majesty, the girls attending the flower viewing banquet today are the best of this year. I'm afraid there will be quite a few who will be selected in the end. They haven't even entered the palace yet, and they've been punished because of me. Once they enter the palace, won't they, won't there be a rift between me and them? How are we going to get along in the future? I feel embarrassed just thinking about it..."
Emperor Yuan Yong frowned slightly. Embarrassment was the least of his worries. He was worried that someone might hold a grudge and seek revenge, or be used to seek revenge.
"Your Majesty!" Xu Lanshan gently shook his arm, smiling softly, "Please listen to me this time, okay? I promise that I will protect your child and give birth to him safely!"
Emperor Yuan Yong raised his hand and gently stroked her face, feeling a sense of suffocation and irritability in his heart.
This is really outrageous!
Is it really just like that?
It’s so frustrating just thinking about it!
He sneered, "We absolutely cannot let them go. They are all troublemakers. If we don't get through today, I'm afraid we won't have any trouble in the future."
