Chapter 221 Rumors Spread
It's basically the same as what Xu Lanshan reported.
Nanny An and the others were speechless...
Yu Chan was even more furious, saying, "What kind of people are they? I wonder what they are teaching behind my back! They are deliberately trying to sow discord between the two princes. How dare they do that? It would be a wonder if the Emperor would let them off."
Nanny An frowned slightly and sighed, "Your Majesty, with your status as a tree, attracts the wind. This is inevitable. Even if this incident hadn't happened, there would have been other incidents. Fortunately this time, no matter what the commotion is at Jingyuan Palace, it has nothing to do with Your Majesty or the young prince."
Yu Chan covered her mouth and smiled: "Mammy, what you said is very true."
Xu Lanshan also laughed.
"Madam, you will have to work even harder in the future. I'm entrusting Lianyi Palace to you. You'll have to take care of it more. Don't worry about anyone. Don't let them take advantage of you."
"Yes, Your Majesty trusts me, and I will not let you down."
By the end of the day, the news of what happened in Jingyuan Palace had spread everywhere, even the incident that was instigated by Concubine Mo had spread.
Of course, originally, Mopin had nothing to do with it, but how could Concubine Shu bear this loss alone? Of course she refused.
Since it was Concubine Mo who started this matter, she can't expect to get away with it.
Concubine Shu would never allow it either.
Although Shufei herself was under house arrest and could not leave the palace, everyone else in Jingyuan Palace was able to go out, so she exaggerated the story, added and deleted details, and actually exaggerated Mopin's behavior.
To those who don't know, it's clear that Concubine Mo has ulterior motives and is deliberately provoking the eldest prince to say things he shouldn't say, in order to stir up trouble between Concubine Shu and Concubine Chen so that she can profit from it.
After hearing these rumors, Concubine Mo was so angry and scared that she almost went crazy!
She admitted that she did have some such thoughts, but she only dared to think about it and feel secretly happy in her heart, but she didn't dare to put it into action at all.
I met the eldest prince yesterday and just said that casually, with no other meaning. It's not like what people are saying.
Rumors are truly terrifying! How could this matter have been spread like this?
Poor Concubine Mo still hasn't figured it out and doesn't know until now. It's not that she is afraid of what people say, but that it is Concubine Shu who is fanning the flames behind the scenes.
Concubine Mo hurried to Jingyuan Palace to find Concubine Shu to explain, but Concubine Shu wouldn't even let her in, and didn't say a word - she was still under house arrest, so she knew nothing and didn't care about anything.
Concubine Mo had no choice but to curse and swear a lot in front of Nanny Xu. Nanny Xu looked at her with some pity and sympathy, wondering how Concubine Mo could survive in the palace if she was so stupid?
How could Concubine Shu have the time to care for her right now? Her own affairs in Jingyuan Palace were still a mess.
This morning, the Empress sent someone to report to the Queen, asking her to replace all the palace maids and eunuchs, including Nanny Yu, who were taking care of the eldest prince, and to select new people from the Shanggong Bureau.
Unexpectedly, the Empress later sent someone over, saying that the Emperor had decreed that none of the servants serving the eldest prince needed to be replaced, and that they should remain in Jingyuan Palace. Concubine Shu was not allowed to ask the Shanggong Bureau for help, nor was she allowed to send Nanny Yu and the others away.
When Concubine Shu heard this, she almost exploded on the spot.
My already anxious heart became even more uneasy. What did the emperor mean by this?
Concubine Shu had no way to ask now.
But she knew that the emperor really didn't like her anymore...
At this time, she was even more angry and hated Concubine Mo, so how could she possibly care about her?
If it weren't for the fact that Jingyuan Palace was in a turbulent time and it was inconvenient to cause any more trouble, Concubine Shu would have called Concubine Mo in and given her a severe lesson...
Concubine Mo hurried to Lianyi Palace to ask to see Xu Lanshan. She wanted to explain to Concubine Chen as well.
Xu Lanshan also refused to see her, having Nanny An handle the situation. She simply said she had to take care of the young prince and was not available, and then refused to see her. She told her not to dwell on it. Since it was just a rumor and had nothing to do with her, she naturally wouldn't blame her. Furthermore, since this incident hadn't caused any harm to Lianyi Palace, she certainly wouldn't blame her, and there was no need to...
Concubine Mo was secretly resentful, but Lianyi Palace was no longer a place she could enter just because she wanted to.
No matter how much she disregarded Xu Lanshan or how confident she was that she was much nobler than Xu Lanshan, it was of no use.
Even though Xu Lanshan was born a palace maid, she was still being trampled upon by the powerful.
After repeatedly hitting a wall, Concubine Mo became even more anxious and terrified, and hurried to Fengwu Palace to ask for an audience with the Queen.
The Queen sneered after hearing this: "She still has me in her heart? First she went to Jingyuan Palace, then to Lianyi Palace. Now she remembers that I'm the Queen and knows to come to me?"
Nanny Yan was also annoyed with Concubine Mo, but she quickly put on a smile and tried to persuade the Queen, "She's a fool. I'm afraid she's just panicked and has lost her mind. Your Majesty is so precious, why bother with someone as foolish as her?"
The Queen scoffed, "How can I argue with her? She's not worthy!"
"Then... Your Majesty, do you want to see her?"
"Yes, why not? I am the Queen, and the concubines have come to pay their respects. I have no reason not to see them."
Nanny Yan smiled and said, "That's not the case. This is exactly what makes you, the Empress, so noble. You are different from other concubines."
The queen smiled and finally felt a little better.
In fact, she was in a really good mood today. That idiot Concubine Shu had angered the emperor and was put under house arrest by the emperor. Let's see how she can compete with her for the power to assist in managing the six palaces.
Her precious son had long been spoiled by her. She had always said that the child would get into trouble one day, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon...
Now, wouldn’t Concubine Shu go crazy?
It would be better if she went crazy. If she went crazy, she would naturally not let go of Xu Lanshan, who also had a son.
After leaving Concubine Mo alone for almost an hour, the Queen ordered her to enter the palace.
"Your servant pays respects to the Empress!" Concubine Mo's legs were sore and painful, but it could not overcome the panic in her heart.
"Your Majesty! I am innocent! The rumors circulating in the palace have nothing to do with me. I truly did not say those words! Your Majesty, please be discerning! I am just a concubine. Even if I had the audacity to do so, I would not dare to sow discord between Consort Shu and Consort Chen! Those are all rumors!"
Concubine Mo was really frightened. Without waiting for the Queen to ask anything, she didn't even say a few polite words. She just started begging and crying, with no manners or etiquette at all.
A flicker of disgust flashed across the Queen's eyes, and she said calmly, "Alright, since it's just a rumor, you don't have to worry about it. What's there to say?"
Mo Bin was stunned, "But, but..."
The Queen smiled and said, "Haven't you been to Jingyuan Palace and Lianyi Palace? I'm asking you, is it Concubine Shu who blames you, or Concubine Chen?"
