Chapter 15 In charge of the palace
"The villain deserves to die, and the empress forgives the sin."

"Ma'am, please forgive me!"

Steward Zhou and Chunlan knelt down and kowtowed.

Concubine Shu didn't buy it this time, breaking the teacup was not enough, she even threw away the lid and the teapot. If she wasn't wearing a heavy and gorgeous palace attire, she would have stepped forward and kicked Steward Chunlan Zhou hard.

For Concubine Shu, no matter what happens in the palace, as long as it does not affect her life in the palace, it is all trivial matters.

However, when it comes to her reputation, no matter how small the negative public opinion is, it will be a big deal!
She pays the most attention to these superficial skills, and now that the reputation of the palace has been tossed to the outside world, it is simply challenging her bottom line!

"Come on, drag them down and give them a few big boards to teach them a lesson!" Concubine Shu Gui shouted.

Seeing that she was being dragged down, Chunlan quickly shouted: "Your Majesty, the cause of all this is Tang Xueyao. If she hadn't gone out to meet those people, there would be so many gossips. The slaves are willing to accept the punishment, but please be sure to Punish Tang Xueyao, ma'am!"

Concubine Shu's eyes slowly settled on Tang Xueyao.

Tang Xueyao felt the murderous intent in Concubine Shu's eyes, not only did she not have any fear, but she smiled slightly at Concubine Shu: "Your Majesty came to the palace in person to investigate the truth and give Xueyao justice. This is what all the people see. I will also look for opportunities to explain clearly to the people in person that the empress is kind-hearted and loves King Ning the most, and she is as gentle and considerate to Xueyao as a family member."

Concubine Shu narrowed her eyes slightly: "Will you find an opportunity to explain clearly to the people outside?"

"If your lady doesn't mind, then Xueyao will go to the back door every day." Tang Xueyao said.

"Every day... every day." Concubine Shu said.

Tang Xueyao's words were implying that Concubine Shu would go out to meet those common people every day.

She is safe and sound, so she will naturally speak good words for Concubine Shu in front of the people.

But if Concubine Shu beat Tang Xueyao today, Tang Xueyao dragged her disabled body to see the common people every day, wouldn't it be that Concubine Shu's notoriety of treating the concubine harshly was confirmed.

"Your Majesty, don't trust her, Your Majesty!" Seeing that Concubine Shu was shaken, Zhou Steward seemed to really not intend to punish Tang Xueyao, so he hurriedly shouted.

Concubine Shu frowned impatiently: "Drag the two of them out first."

"Yes!" The guard beside him responded, pulling Chunlan and Steward Zhou out to beat the board on the spot.

After the two were dragged out, the front hall immediately became much quieter, Concubine Shu slowly got up and walked in front of Tang Xueyao: "If you are asked to see the people tomorrow, how are you going to clarify this matter with the people and return the reputation of the Palace? "

"Your Majesty, the common people are not stupid. They have eyes and can capture many details." Tang Xueyao said to Concubine Shu, "Xueyao just appeared today, and the common people have noticed Xueyao's tattered clothes..."

Concubine Shu became annoyed at the mention of the rags, "I'll ask the palace to send you some things in a while, so hurry up and change into a new set of clothes, throw away this tattered and unlucky old clothes, and never wear them again!"

Tang Xueyao was overjoyed, but her face showed embarrassment: "Concubine Shu's kindness, Xueyao is very grateful, but this palace is not up to Xueyao's decision after all, just like the good news that was offered before, all were taken away by Zhou. The housekeeper made clothes by himself. The things in the imperial concubine's palace are priceless, so it's hard to guarantee that the people in the house will not be jealous, will the reward from the empress really fall into Xueyao's hands?"

"Then what do you mean?" Concubine Shu said.

"I can't control the people in this mansion. Although I am a concubine in name, I am no different from a servant. I beg your concubine to make me a proper concubine." Tang Xueyao bowed her head.

Concubine Shu narrowed her eyes slightly.

Although this palace is said to be Prince Ning's residence, since King Ning was paralyzed, Concubine Shu has been in power. No matter the housekeeper Zhou or Chunlan, they are actually Concubine Shu's people.

What Tang Xueyao meant now was to seize power from Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu was naturally not happy about this.

She said: "You have just come to the palace, and it will take a while to get used to it. After a while, everyone will get used to it. You can become the real master of the palace without me telling you."

Tang Xueyao immediately understood her intention of prevarication, and was not fooled, she said directly: "The imperial concubine also heard what the people said just now, these servants even want to break up because they are old acquaintances of the palace. Me and King Ning's food.

"My family accepted the benefits of the noble concubine and sent me to the palace to become the wife of the prince. I will accompany the prince to Jiuquan in the future. I have no complaints or regrets. But if the prince did not die of illness, but was starved to death...

"Although I, Tang Xueyao, am the daughter of a small family, I can't accept such a death, and I can't bear it."

Tang Xueyao looked at Concubine Shu and said, "I hope your mother will save my life and Ning Han's life."

"It's not that I don't agree with you, it's just that the future will last forever..." Concubine Shu still wanted to fool her.

"If the empress does not agree today, then Shu Xueyao will not be able to fulfill the promise that day." Tang Xueyao said.

Concubine Shu was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Tang Xueyao said forcefully: "If the palace can't even guarantee a bite of food, then what's the point of my staying here."

Concubine Shu was very angry and laughed back: "Why, you still want to leave the palace and remarry someone else?!"

"It depends on how the imperial concubine makes a decision." Tang Xueyao said.

Concubine Shu stared at Tang Xueyao for a long time, seeing that Tang Xueyao refused to back down, Concubine Shu suddenly asked, "How is Han Er now?"

"My lord?" Tang Xueyao pretended to be at a loss, "He's the same as before..."

"It's the same as before, with no improvement?" Concubine Shu asked.

"Your Majesty, you also know that the imperial doctor shook his head when he saw the prince's situation. Unless the goddess came to take care of the prince herself, it might be..." Tang Xueyao's voice became softer as she spoke.

Concubine Shu also understood this point, when she thought that Ning Han didn't have many days to live, and then looked at Tang Xueyao, she immediately liked it a lot.

After all, when Ning Han died, Tang Xueyao would also be buried with him.

Even if the management of the palace is temporarily handed over to her now, after a while Tang Xueyao and Ning Han are both dead, Concubine Shugui can take back the authority of the palace at any time.

She is a dignified concubine, why should she have trouble with a dying person like Tang Xueyao.

Thinking of this, Concubine Shu waved her hand generously: "Okay, I will do as you said."

Concubine Shu came to Prince Ning's Mansion today to see how Ning Han was doing.

After such a toss, she was angry and tired, and had no intention of caring about Ning Han.

Especially when it was time for dinner, Tang Xueyao tried her best to invite Concubine Shu to stay for dinner.

Concubine Shu knew best what was going on in the palace, Concubine Shu was absolutely not happy to ask her to stay and eat those simple meals, so she found an excuse and immediately went back to the palace, not wanting to stay for a second longer.

A group of people came in a mighty way, and then left in a mighty way. Tang Xueyao stood at the door and watched them go away. She didn't turn back to Ning Han's other courtyard until she confirmed that Concubine Shu would not come back after leaving.

Ning Han had already woken up and was talking to Mei Lan Zhu Ju.

The last time Amei told about Tang Xueyao pawning her wedding dress without authorization, she was lightly punished by Tang Xueyao afterwards.

This time, Amei learned how to behave. No matter what Ning Han asked, she would pretend to be dumb and not speak.

The rest of Alan, Azhu, and Aju followed suit, standing in front of Ning Han's bed like four pillars.

After finally surviving Tang Xueyao's return, Mei Lan Zhuju immediately stepped forward and looked at Tang Xueyao with concern.

"Princess, are you okay?"

"Did we cause trouble for you?"

Tang Xueyao shook her head: "Don't worry, it won't affect you, you guys can continue to guard the door."

Only then did Mei Lan Zhuju heave a sigh of relief, and happily ran outside to continue protecting Tang Xueyao's safety.

Tang Xueyao walked to Ning Han's bedside, and said to Ning Han, "The test results came out, and there is something in both of your legs."

As Tang Xueyao said, she took a pen and paper from the desk beside her, drew the shape of the thing in Ning Han's leg, and then held it up to Ning Han: "It looks like a nail, you know how this thing got into it. Is it in your body? Is it accidentally inserted from an injury in a previous war? Or is it some kind of healing method during this period?"

Ning Han looked at the pattern for a long time, and slowly said: "Someone deliberately got into my body and turned me into a cripple."

Tang Xueyao was taken aback: "What are you talking about, the injuries on your body are not the aftereffects of war injuries, but someone deliberately murdered you?!"
