Chapter 206

Early the next morning, the palace became lively.

First, Concubine Wan waited for the emperor to go to the early court, and took a group of people to Concubine Ping's palace in a mighty manner.

Gave Concubine Ping a slap.

Then Concubine Ping took a few feet of white silk and threw it on the beam, intending to hang herself.

The matter became serious, and soon the emperor was called over.

Concubine Ping had just been rescued, and there was still a red mark on her neck from being strangled.

She was rescued, and she sat on the ground wiping her tears, as if she didn't want to live anymore, she looked very pitiful.

Concubine Wan was forced to kneel on the ground, feeling wronged.

But just being slapped, why don't you want to live and want to hang yourself?
If he hanged himself, he would hang himself, and he didn't simply have to wait for someone to save him. It can be seen that he was not seeking death, but pretending to be pretentious for others.

Wanpin felt that she was designed, and she was very unwilling.

Originally, she wanted to complain to the emperor, but the emperor's face was dark and frightening. She glanced at her back and broke into a layer of cold sweat, and finally turned to complain to the queen.

When the queen came here, she didn't say a word.

She stretched out her hand and rubbed her temples, it sounded like it couldn't be said who was completely right and who was completely wrong.

It's just a matter of who is more at fault.

First, Concubine Ping intercepted the emperor at the gate of Cuiwei Palace.

Concubine Wan learned that the emperor was going to Cuiwei Palace, but was taken away by Concubine Ping halfway.

The next day, when he went to find fault, he saw Concubine Ping lying on the bed in disheveled clothes, so she said all kinds of ugly things.

At any rate, Concubine Ping was a princess of a country in the past. Although she was not that favored, she was usually very precious, so no one would dare to scold her with such unscrupulous words.

From a princess of a country to a flat concubine, although the status is not low, Zuo is just a thing to serve men.

She was wronged because of this, and she was slapped by Wanpin.

The tight string in my heart broke.

So hanging himself this time is half an act and half true.

After sorting out these things, the queen didn't want to bother.

Both of them are not easy for her to punish. On Wanbi's side, it's not that she didn't want to punish her, but just a few times ago when she issued her order, someone came by the emperor's side, saying that Wanbi was young and asked her to teach her more. Bear with me.

As for Concubine Ping, because of her status as Concubine Ping, she couldn't care less.

The emperor was quarreling with one head and two heads, seeing that the queen wanted to leave, he frowned and asked, "What does the queen think?"

"The empress is in charge of the harem, so the harem shouldn't have made such mistakes."

That being said, the concubines who were nearby
Concubine Zheng got close, and when she heard this clearly, she couldn't help being shocked, and looked at the emperor in disbelief.

She opened her mouth, and subconsciously said something for the queen, "Didn't your Majesty say before that you don't want to take care of Concubine Wan's affairs?"

The emperor's face turned dark, because he really said this, and it's not easy to get angry at this time, so he just endured it, with a half-smile, "Concubine Zheng has a good memory."

Concubine Zheng understood that the emperor was annoyed, she lowered her head and pouted, and stood aside.

Once such a thing happened, the emperor didn't wait for the queen to speak, and with a dark face, someone escorted Concubine Wan over and reprimanded her.

In the end, she was downgraded again, from Wanbi to Wanmeiren.

As for Concubine Ping, she received a few words of comfort and a few boxes of rewards.

Concubine Ping lowered her eyes, slowly put away her tears, and thanked her.

This was different from what she had expected. She thought that she would be able to get a promotion by virtue of this, but she didn't, it was just a few more rewards.

But it doesn't matter.

She is still young, and she became a concubine not long after entering the palace, which is already extremely rare, and it is not in compliance with the rules to be promoted in a short period of time without an heir.

It's just that the punishment for Concubine Wan was too light.

Down one rank, with the Eighth Prince here, this rank will rise sooner or later.

Other than that, there are just a few reprimands that don't hurt.

On the surface, it seems to be biased toward her, but in fact, it is toward Wanmeiren.

Concubine Ping's heart sank, and she made another plan.

Reluctantly, Wanmei was escorted back to Cuiwei Palace, and on the way she still didn't forget to scold Concubine Ping in a low voice.

The few palace guards who guarded her pretended not to hear.

A farce ended, and the concubines left after watching the play.

The courageous ones leaned against the door and waited for the emperor to come out to meet him.

But didn't get a good face.

Concubine Zheng was the first to leave behind the empress. At this time, she was walking slowly in the imperial garden. Shi Zhu remembered His Royal Highness's instructions, and said hesitantly, "Mother, if this happens again in the future, you must not stand out. gone."

Concubine Zheng sighed, picked a flower casually, crushed it in the palm of her hand, and murmured in a low voice, "This is really, I don't know how it became like this."

After a while, Concubine Zheng wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and said calmly, "Go back."

After this day, Concubine Ping came out of her own palace again, and occasionally ran into a few concubines, only to see them running in a different direction as if they hadn't seen her, without saying a word to her.

Concubine Ping thought of the reason, her face became embarrassing.

Because she intercepted the emperor at the gate of Cuiwei Palace, this act actually made many people look down on her.

Although it is said that everyone in the harem competes for favor based on their own abilities, but there is no reason to wait at the gate of other people's palaces.

Many concubines thought that it was Wanmei who was stupid and incompetent, so she chose the lowest method, as long as she waited in the palace and did nothing, the queen would make the decision.

With such a big disturbance, what was originally reasonable has become unreasonable.

After a few days like this, I don't know if it was comfort or what, the emperor has been resting in Concubine Ping's palace.

In the eyes of everyone, it is Concubine Ping who has won the favor.

Only Concubine Ping knew in her heart that when the emperor came to her, he seldom rested in the main hall, and most of the time he went to the side hall to approve papers because of the busy affairs of the court.

If this goes on like this, her medicines will be in vain.

So Concubine Ping thought of a way. She found the box she brought from Chu State, rummaged through it, and found some porcelain vases.

Finally, put the medicine in the porcelain bottle into the wine, and when the emperor came, the two drank together.

The effect of the medicine was a bit powerful. Although the emperor could be called a prime of life, his health was not as good as before.

So he didn't get up on time the next day.

Shou An had already come in and shouted several times, thinking that the courtiers were already waiting, he raised his voice and shouted again.

The emperor finally woke up, but felt a little...tired.

Thinking about what happened last night, he looked very uncomfortable.

Concubine Ping had a shy face, she got up to put on clothes to serve the emperor.

The emperor waved his hand and let Shouan come in to serve him.

Shou An glanced at it, and saw that the emperor's face was not very good, so he asked, "Do you need a slave to come out and say something, this morning..."

"No need." The emperor gathered his clothes, turned around and told Concubine Ping to take a good rest, and then strode away.

When the emperor left, the Imperial Hospital quickly delivered a bowl of dark medicine.

Concubine Ping drank it all in one gulp, and quickly stuffed a sweet and sour candied fruit into her mouth.
