Concubine, she rises step by step

"Bang!" With a crisp sound, the cloud-dragon-patterned amphora fell to the ground, with fragments all over the ground, frightening everyone.

Chang Lan fell down on the chair sullenly, her chest rising and falling.

Dongjuan quickly waved her hand and asked the palace maid to sweep away the debris.

"Your Majesty, calm down." Dongjuan's face was anxious.

Chang Lan kicked the stool at her feet angrily and dissatisfied. In an instant, the stool almost rubbed against Dongjuan's legs. She was so frightened that Dongjuan quickly knelt down on one side, kowtowed and said, "Empress, calm down! The phoenix body is important!"

"What's the important thing? I'm almost losing face! I'm sure Jingren Palace will be laughing at this moment!" Chang Lan felt aggrieved, hating that the queen had to find trouble even though she was living a good life.

Dongjuan slowly stood up and bravely comforted Chang Lan, saying: "Empress, you know the Queen's body, how can it cope with so many things in the harem? One day I may have to beg the Empress to take over... "

Chang Lan then softened her temper and said, "If you ask me, it depends on whether I am in this mood!"

Dongjuan said repeatedly: "Yes! Yes! Yes! The empress said yes!"

Anger returned to anger, but Chang Lan also didn't understand something: "The Queen's body is indeed a bit weak, why does she want to take back her power?"

Dongjuan looked dissatisfied and said: "What else could it be? She must feel that Concubine Sheng has given up her power, and she is worried that no one will control you anymore, that her power will fall to the wayside, or she is worried that you will steal her limelight!"

While Chang Lan was fuming, there was a communication sound at the door.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is here." Eunuch Zhou said at the door.

Chang Lan said coldly: "Let her come in..."

No, Quan Zhiyan, who slowly walked in from the door, noticed the debris on the ground that hadn't been cleaned yet.

Watching the palace maid sweep the floor quietly, the concubine Quan Zhiyan meekly said: "Concubine, please see the empress."

Chang Lan said angrily: "Get up."

Of course, Quan Zhiyan is bold and careful, and only wants to achieve her own goals, "Mother, are you still angry?"

After all, they had just met each other not long ago, so Chang Lan still maintained a little vigilance, "How could I be angry? It was originally the Queen's phoenix seal, so it should be taken back."

Quan Zhiyan felt aggrieved for Chang Lan and said: "The noble concubine knows the overall situation and understands the general situation. Naturally, she will not argue with the queen. However, it is rare to see the skills and abilities of the empress. It is a pity..."

Chang Lan was very impressed and said: "I don't dare to take it seriously."

Quan Zhiyan leaned slightly closer to Chang Lan and said, "Your Majesty, this Queen expects that the Emperor will speak for her."

Chang Lan was confused for a moment, "What do you mean?"

Quan Zhiyan waved her hands to deny it with some complicated meaning, and said: "Hey! It's just a concubine who is just thinking about it, it's nothing."

The more he said this, the more suspicious Chang Lan became, and she immediately said: "It's okay, you don't have to be afraid, just tell me, what do you know?"

Quan Zhiyan was a little confused: "Mother, it's not that I didn't tell you, but I can't be sure of the truth. Saying this seems to be a bit provocative, so it's better not to say it. It's okay for us sisters to take care of each other in this palace. excellent."

Chang Lan said solemnly: "Do you still regard me as a sister? If so, just say so!"

Quan Zhiyan looked a little unhappy when she saw Chang Lan, and said quickly: "My queen, don't be angry. If you want to know, just tell me, but don't be angry. Confirm the truth first."

Chang Lan waited anxiously and nodded: "Don't worry!" After saying this, Quan Zhiyan said: "One day, when I went to Jingren Palace for an audience, I accidentally heard the queen order Ai Xiang, saying it was special It's Yuxiu Palace's account, so it must be investigated strictly! The empresses on the left and right also know about these tricks in Yuxiu Palace, and if they want to take advantage of it, they can easily catch it. "

Chang Lan listened intently, with dissatisfaction and anger in her eyes.

"However, how did the Queen get the Yuxiu Palace's accounts? Besides, since we have evidence of Yuxiu Palace, why not start the investigation from before, and must start from the month after Concubine Sheng stepped down from power?" Quan Zhi Yan Zi stared at Chang Lan and said.

After Quan Zhiyan's prompting, Chang Lan suddenly came to her senses, "Are you saying that the Queen and Concubine Sheng are going to deal with me together?"

Quan Zhiyan shook her head repeatedly, "I didn't say anything..."

But to Chang Lan, it sounded like Shenyi was in cahoots with the Queen, "What a great Shengyi! Even though I'm in trouble, I still treat her like my own sister!"

"With Concubine Sheng's blessing, doesn't the Emperor feel more at ease with the Queen?" Quan Zhiyan said softly and skillfully.

At this time, Chang Lan felt as if she was being played, and angrily shouted: "If you want to defeat me, you are just dreaming!"

Quan Zhiyan looked at Chang Lan's expression and concluded that this thorn was deeply pierced in her heart!
"Your Majesty, Jingren Palace and Zhaoyang Palace are united, you are facing enemies from both sides..." Quan Zhiyan sighed, feeling that it was not worth it for Chang Lan.

Chang Lan suffered from her previous losses, regained some of her rationality, and said, "Whether she is being attacked from both sides needs further confirmation. However, no matter who it is, if she doesn't let me have an easy time, she won't even think about it!"

Quan Zhiyan saw that the tone of Chang Lan's words was very carefully considered, so she paused for a few seconds and then said: "That's exactly what the empress said. I heard that the emperor's most taboo thing is jealousy. Everything must be done." It’s better to be clear.”

Chang Lan looked unhappy and had no time to chat with Quan Zhiyan, so she left her alone for a while.

Quan Zhiyan said wisely: "My dear, I will take my leave now."

Chang Lan nodded coldly.

But when she was thinking about it alone, Chang Lan's mind was filled with the collusion between the Queen and Sheng Yi.

"Your Majesty, this concubine is absolutely right. If it is really the Queen and Concubine Sheng who joined forces, you will really be attacked from both sides..." Dongjuan said with anxiety.

Chang Lan held her forehead, feeling a little headache, "Even so, I can't show anxiety, otherwise, Quan Zhiyan will see a joke!"

"Yes!" Dongjuan quickly bowed.

"I really didn't realize that Concubine Sheng is so loyal and simple-minded in front of you. I didn't expect that there was such a palace behind her back!" The more Dongjuan thought about it, the more she felt that people's hearts were old.

"Hmph!" Chang Lan couldn't help but sneered, "How many people can survive in this palace who are heartless? This Concubine Sheng can maintain her favor for many years. Do you think it's just because of her face? Besides, Now, if the power is removed from her, how can she not feel resentful?" Chang Lan looked at Dong Juan.

Dongjuan's whole body tensed up, "Mother, what should we do?"

Chang Lan said solemnly: "Of course I will defeat them one by one!"

"Dongjuan, go find someone to make more noise. It won't be a serious crime, but it will be quite energy-consuming." Chang Lan suddenly mentioned.

Dongjuan was stunned for a moment until Chang Lan glared at her.

"Oh, your Majesty, do you mean to give the Empress of Jingren Palace something more to do?" Dongjuan asked deliberately.

Chang Lan didn't believe it. The queen's job now only fell to the queen. How long could she last?
