Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 457 The Harem
"Yingluo... Yingluo..." In Qifeng Palace, the queen lying on the bed spoke weakly, calling Yingluo's name.

On her head, there were fine beads of sweat. Because of her body, the queen's face was very ugly.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?" The little maid came in from the outer room. She moved to the side of the bed and spoke with some worry, calling softly to the queen who was having a nightmare.

"Ah!" With an exclamation, the queen finally opened her eyes, looking at the little maid in front of her, pain flashed in the queen's eyes.

Ying Luo is no longer here, and it was I who killed her...

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" In the entire Qifeng Palace, there are only little maids who serve the Queen wholeheartedly.

"I'm fine." The breath gradually stabilized. The queen supported her body and wanted to sit up from the bed. be more comfortable.

"What time is it?" After sitting down, the queen looked at the little maid and asked her.

"It's time to go back to the empress, would you like something to eat?" Because of the relationship between the body, most of it is time, the queen is always asleep, so her meal time is never fixed.

"En." Nodded, rare, the queen felt a little hungry, the little maid was very happy to see her nodding, she turned around quickly, and walked towards the outer room.

Since Yingluo's death, the queen's body has become weaker and weaker, and she spent more time sleeping. When she was awake, she seldom ate, which made the little palace lady very worried.

The food was always prepared, and soon, the little maid brought the meal into the house, and she served the queen, eating little by little.

"I'm full." After eating three or five mouthfuls, the queen stopped, picked up the handkerchief, and wiped the corners of her mouth.

"Your Majesty, this is all you want to eat? Can you eat some more?" Rarely did the Empress want to eat, and the little palace maid was happy, but she saw her eat a little bit, and she held a bowl and began to persuade her.

"I won't eat, I can't eat any more." Waving her hands, the queen showed a wry smile, "I don't know when these days will end."

The queen is looking forward to it now, the Xiao family hastened to start an incident, no matter it is success or failure, it will give her a good time.

Seeing the queen like this, the little maid had no choice but to carry the food down.

"Is there anything going on in the palace recently?" When the little maid came back again, the queen asked her.

Hearing the queen's question, the little maid bit her lip, then shook her head.

Qifeng Palace was sealed off, neither news from inside nor outside news could come in, even if the little maid wanted to inquire about something, she couldn't find out anything.

"That's all." Seeing the little maid shaking her head, the queen couldn't help but sighed, she understood that the emperor at this time was just like her, waiting for the Xiao family to make a move.

By that time, everything will be over.

…………

"Recently, the harem has really stopped, and I can't get used to the cessation." In Yichun Palace, Concubine Rong sat on the chaise longue, fanning herself repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, do you think the Empress Dowager is still alive?" Thinking of the sealed Fengfeng Palace, Hongxiu asked Concubine Rong.

"It should still be alive. No matter what, the emperor will find a way to keep the queen's life, at least, right now."

Only when the queen is there, the Xiao family will not suspect anything. Therefore, the existence of the queen is very necessary.

However, when all the dust settles, the queen will no longer be a queen. At that time, the back seat will be vacant, and she will have a chance.

"By the way, what's going on with Concubine Zhuang?" Thinking of today's imperial decree, Concubine Rong looked at Hongxiu and asked.

"I beg your forgiveness. The servants don't know the specifics. Presumably, it's because she is closer to Concubine Chen?"

Hearing Concubine Rong's question, Hongxiu hurriedly answered, her voice was full of fear, after all, this was something she didn't know.

Because Emperor Jing was a favorite, he could not be seen in the harem at all, and Hongxiu's control over the concubines in the harem was inevitably negligent.

Normally, her focus is almost only on the empress and Concubine Chen, and occasionally, she will look at Concubine Xian.

As for the others, Hongxiu seldom went to see them. After all, they were not to be favored.

"Forget it, no one thought that this one would suddenly appear." Concubine Rong didn't blame Hongxiu for this matter, and if it were her, she would not pay too much attention to someone who was not favored.

"The concubine Zhuang is a smart person who knows how to please Concubine Chen. It seems that she thinks that Concubine Chen can surpass me."

In today's harem, besides the empress, she and Su Qingyan have the highest status. For Su Qingyan, Concubine Rong doesn't like Su Qingyan at all.

They chose to join forces before because they had to deal with the queen, but now the queen can't turn the tide, it doesn't matter if they join forces or not.

"Your Majesty, will this servant help you beat her?" Seeing Concubine Rong's displeased face, Hong Xiu asked her opinion.

"No, just send someone to keep an eye on it. Someone will trouble her. By the way, you can find something and send it over. Just say, it's a congratulatory gift from the Palace."

In the harem, it had been a long time since a concubine had been enshrined in Jin Dynasty, Concubine Rong smiled and said to Hongxiu.

"Yes." In response, the red sleeve retreated, Concubine Rong continued to sit on the chair, fanning herself.

…………

"Concubine Zhuang? You really have some tricks." In Yongchun Palace, Concubine Xian couldn't help snorting when she heard the news of Concubine Zhuang's Jinfeng.

"Master, calm down, don't let that kind of villain spoil your body with anger." Looking at Concubine Xian's face, Linglong quickly spoke to persuade Concubine Xian.

"What is there to be angry about in this palace? If it really comes down to it, how can she compare to this palace?" In the harem, besides Su Qingyan and Concubine Rong, she is the one with the highest status.

Not only that, but she also raised the second prince. If you really think about it, there is really no one in the harem who can compare to her.

"Your Majesty said that, as far as the Second Prince is concerned, no one in the harem can compare to you." Fearing that Concubine Xian would get angry, Linglong responded with a smile.

"Isn't there any news from Qifeng Palace?" Concubine Xian asked Linglong instead of talking about Concubine Zhuang.

"If you go back to your mother, you won't be able to find out anything, as if the entire Qifeng Palace is sealed off." Speaking of Qifeng Palace, Linglong couldn't help biting her lips, "Your Majesty, do you think that Qifeng Palace will... Will it really be blocked?"

After hearing Linglong's words, Concubine Xian was silent for a moment, "Anyway, the queen is a queen, probably not, you should find a chance and go find out."
