Empress, she is rising step by step

She wiped her hands with a handkerchief and turned around unhurriedly, "I have sent people to Yiting Palace to inquire, but there is no such person as Yujun at all. Your guess is indeed correct. It seems that there is something evil here. .”

"It is very possible that Yuyun was silenced. A palace maid disappeared without any reason, and no one reported it to the police. I am afraid everything has been taken care of long ago."

Zhu Ci had also guessed that something unexpected had happened to Yuyun. If it was really Concubine De's fault, how could she be so confident in handing such a fatal clue to Yuyun? She would definitely strike first.

After all, only the mouth of the dead is the safest in this world.

"Yes. If you hadn't reminded me, I would never have thought of this. I really underestimated Concubine De. I usually see her relying on her status as a direct princess and disdain to be with everyone. I didn't expect that she actually did this behind her back. Use such insidious methods to harm you and me."

Bai Xinrui pulled the handkerchief in her hand and already had an idea in her mind.

"Just pretend you don't know about this matter. I have my own plans. It's almost noon. Do you want to go to my palace for dinner together? The emperor will also go. You haven't seen the emperor for several days, right? Just in time to talk to the emperor."

Zhu Cicai was not that ignorant. Bai Xinrui was originally dissatisfied with her because the emperor had first told her that she would stay in bed.

At this moment, I didn't have any eyesight at all, so I followed him to Yongfu Palace. I was afraid that Bai Xinrui would be even more embarrassed and angry, and she would not want to stay in Qifeng Palace.

"I haven't recovered from the cold yet, so I won't go because I'm afraid of exposing myself to the empress and the emperor. I'll go to pay my respects to the empress when I get better some other day."

"Okay. You should also be careful and don't catch cold again, otherwise I will also be keeping your illness in mind."

Bai Xinrui held Liu Yan's hand and got into the sedan, walking towards the direction of Yongfu Palace.

Zhu Ci watched Bai Xinrui's figure gradually go away until it turned into a blur, and then she calmly withdrew her gaze.

"Let's go back too."

Cao Wenxi walked forward slowly against the wind. On both sides are endless red walls, which look even brighter red when the sunlight falls on them, and people from the palace are constantly coming and going.

"I didn't expect Wenmei to be pregnant. The emperor only sent her a message once a month, or even once every few months. I didn't expect that life would be so good, and she would have so many concubines just by asking for them."

Yueran glanced at Cao Wenxi with some worry, "Wenmei already disliked you, but now that she's pregnant, I'm afraid she will torture you in even more different ways."

"I've been here like this for the past few years, and I don't care about these two days anymore."

Cao Wenxi smiled bitterly. So what if a beautiful lady only goes to bed once a month? How many women in the palace don't even go to bed once a month?

It would be fine if she was pregnant with a princess. If she was pregnant with a prince, her hard days would still be in the future.

"There are many people in the palace who are pregnant but cannot give birth. Why does she, a beautiful woman, think that she will give birth to an emperor safely? Don't be someone who has a life to conceive but not a life to give birth to. It would be better not to give birth."

"That's right, with Wen Meiren's current status, even if she gives birth to a prince, she can't raise her by her side. The child who was born after ten months of hard work is called someone else's mother and concubine. I'm afraid Wen Meiren won't feel good about it. Moreover, the pregnancy is extremely dangerous. , I really can’t say for sure.”

Just like Lu Yunu, who is nearly seven months pregnant, she fell down and lost everything, and now she is grounded by the emperor.

The Japanese beauty also tripped over the threshold, fell down and lost her child.

Yueran said: "Just now, Concubine Bai and Concubine Shu humiliated you. I didn't expect that Zhu Yunv and Yan Baolin didn't say a word at all. They are usually the eldest and the younger of your sisters, but at the critical moment, they actually pretended not to see them at all. Thank you for treating both of them sincerely." "Zhu Yunu is the imperial concubine, how could she offend the imperial concubine for me. As for Yan Baolin..."

Cao Baolin paused, remembering the day she went to Weiyang Palace to compare herself with an actor.

"She comes from a family of generals, and she was raised by the Queen Mother since she was a child. It's normal for her to look down on me."

"But Imperial Lady Zhu is from a humble palace maid. How come Yan Baolin is so affectionate and affectionate to her, as if she is the same person?"

Yue Ran was puzzled, "Your background is much nobler than that of Princess Zhu. It's really unfair that someone like her can become the emperor's concubine."

"You should say less. Zhu Yunv is one of the few people in the palace who is kind to me. Whether she is sincere or fake, it is a comfort to me."

Cao Wenxi also couldn't understand why Zhu Ci was so favored even though she was a palace maid. Is it just because she has a concubine behind her?

She asked herself that her appearance was not bad, and she had seen the emperor several times, but the emperor did not remember her. Dragon Boat Festival... She must let the emperor remember her firmly on that day...

While I was lost in thought, I suddenly heard a sharp and long curse in my ears.

"How do you do things? These silks and satins are given to the ladies of the palace. Can you afford to pay for the damage to your life? Frizzy, oh my, look at this silk and satin, it is stained, and the ladies will definitely blame it. of."

The eunuch's voice was already sharper than that of an ordinary man, and it sounded even harsher when he was angry.

"Humph, that's right. After all, you used to be a young master, and others were taking care of you. When have you ever served others? But who told you that your life is bad? This young master's life is gone. Work honestly and be diligent. One point is the truth.

You kneel here and palm your own twenty mouths. Wait for the morning family to deliver the silk and satin to your empress's palace, and get up when you come back. Let's go. "

Cao Wenxi raised his eyes and saw a thin-cheeked eunuch leading two young eunuchs hurriedly away into the distance.

Her eyes moved slightly, and her gaze fell lightly on the little eunuch kneeling on the ground.

He was kneeling upright, with only a thin body, as if he would fall down if the wind blew. He lowered his head and fanned his face hard, weak and numb.

Cao Wenxi recognized who that person was after just one glance. Although he no longer had the silk and satin body, and was much thinner than in her memory, she still recognized that figure from his back.

"Wait for me here." She told Yueran to keep an eye on her and walked up to the little eunuch. She didn't speak, just stood quietly.

Lin Guanqi no longer felt pain on his face. He only felt that his skin and palms were hot and numb.

He saw a pair of cloud-head shoes in front of him. The moon-white satin was embroidered with colorful silk threads with blooming begonia flowers, and there were strings of pearls hanging on them. They walked like butterfly wings fluttering.

Lin Guanqi slowly raised his head, and there was a woman standing in front of him against the light. Her face was also a little blurry, and all she could see was her beautiful eyes that seemed to be shining with tears.

"You..." Cao Wenxi's voice was slightly choked. Thousands of words came to his mouth, rolled around a few times, and then swallowed again.
