Stop acting, Your Majesty, the queen knows you're faking it

Chapter 39 Useless Brother

"But you also have to..." Xin Yi just wanted to say, no matter what happens to Concubine Shu, you have to be prepared.

But only halfway through her words, Chi Xinian had already fallen asleep leaning on the pillow.

Xinyi was the girl Chi Xinian picked up in the war-torn area when he first went to Xizhou to quell the rebellion.Both her parents died in the rebellion, and she had no one to rely on, so Chi Xinian always took her by his side and asked her to march and fight with him.

Chi Xinian stayed in the army for six years, and so did Xin Yi.

She knew Chi Xinian's majesty best, and she also knew Chi Xinian's rules best. Seeing that he had closed his eyes and fell asleep, she immediately swallowed the last half of the sentence, blew out the lamp and retreated.

But when she arrived in the courtyard, the distressed look on her face still unconsciously surfaced.

She knew that her daughter had no intention of deceiving others, and she didn't want to conspire with other concubines in the palace to gain favor.

But if a girl doesn't fight, it doesn't mean others won't fight, but His Majesty puts his interests first, and he doesn't know what to do in the future...

...

After Xinyi was worried, Concubine Xue Shu, whom she regarded as her archenemy, was not much better.

At night until the second watch, the Yaohua Palace is still brightly lit.

After Concubine Shu practiced dancing all day long without rest, she was finally called to stop by her personal servant at midnight: "Your Majesty, there is another letter from home."

"It's about the second brother again?" After stopping, Concubine Shu didn't go to pick up the letter in the maid's hand, but went straight to the bathing pool.

Although she was grounded, the news was still well informed.

The gossip about the concubines in the palace was known by almost everyone, and she naturally knew about it—her second elder brother, who was not up to the mark, was caught by His Majesty again and was about to be pulled out to make an example of others.

This useless brother!
Not only can't help her on weekdays, but she always needs her help.Now, she has been grounded, and she is having trouble with His Majesty, and he is still helping outside...

The more Concubine Xue Shu thought about it, the angrier she became, and when she spoke again, her tone was inevitably a little heavier: "Read the letter, I want to hear how my father and mother want me to help him this time!"

"Here." Knowing that her mother was furious, the palace maid hurriedly tore open the envelope and read aloud.

Sure enough, as Concubine Shu expected, eight out of ten sentences in this letter from her mother were begging her to help her brother.The remaining two sentences were just a light greeting.

After listening, Concubine Shu unconsciously twitched the corners of her mouth, showing a sarcastic smile: "Did you send home the letter yesterday? Does mother know that my palace is being grounded by His Majesty now?"

"Your Majesty has an order, so I dare not slack off. The letter was handed over to the steward of Xue's house yesterday morning. It's just..." the servant said in a low voice, "It's just that this matter still involves Empress Chi, and Lord Shangshu didn't know it for a while. There is no way..."

"Oh, he can't do anything about my palace's affairs. He can drag his party members to fight with His Majesty about his second brother's affairs." Hearing this, Concubine Shu twitched her lips mockingly again, "Sure enough, in their eyes, forever It's all about the son."

"But Lord Shangshu and his wife still love you, and have always been responsive to your requests..."

Concubine Shu interrupted her: "What's a little money? The family is short of money? This matter of the spring banquet, let me find a way to settle it myself.

"As for the second brother...you send a letter back and tell your family that my palace is now in the Forbidden Palace. If you can't get out, you can't help him at all."

"Here..." The servant girl got the order and quickly stepped back with small steps.

Concubine Shu closed her eyes and leaned against the pool, sneered: "It's ridiculous."
