Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 493
In the end, Banxia took the lotus and returned to the Mingyue Pavilion. Concubine Zhuang had been waiting for Banxia to return, wondering why she had been there for so long. walked in.

Ban Xia's appearance was very strange, and Concubine Zhuang couldn't help frowning. She looked at Ban Xia carefully, and suddenly found that Ban Xia's cheeks were swollen.

After walking a few steps quickly, Concubine Zhuang came to Ban Xia, "Ban Xia, what's wrong with you? How did this happen?"

When she got closer, Concubine Zhuang saw Ban Xia's appearance clearly. She gasped and asked about Ban Xia.

Because of being beaten, it is very difficult for Banxia to open her mouth to speak, even to open her lips slightly.

Seeing Banxia like this, Concubine Zhuang looked at the little eunuch following Banxia, ​​and said again, "What's going on? How did it become like this?"

Ban Xia followed Concubine Zhuang since she was a child. In Concubine Zhuang's heart, Ban Xia was not a slave, but a little sister who treated her like a relative.

Now that she has been beaten like this, Concubine Zhuang is naturally very heartbroken.

In the harem, she believed that she acted in a low-key manner and never caused trouble, but she always had trouble coming to her, which made her feel angry from the bottom of her heart.

Hearing Concubine Zhuang's question, the little eunuchs chattered and talked about what happened by the lotus pond just now.

After hearing what the little eunuchs had said, Concubine Zhuang frowned immediately. She admitted that she had never offended Concubine Xian, and she didn't understand why Concubine Xian wanted to target those around her.

Just as she was thinking, her hand tightened suddenly, Ban Xia stretched out a hand and held her.

Looking up at Banxia, ​​in Banxia's eyes, Concubine Zhuang couldn't see a trace of resentment, only comfort and persuasion, which made Concubine Zhuang feel even more uncomfortable.

"You go to the house to rest, don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you in this matter!" Taking the lotus from Banxia's hand, Concubine Zhuang strode towards the outside of Mingyue Pavilion.

Seeing her master like this, Ban Xia wanted to stop her, but she couldn't open her mouth at all, so she could only watch helplessly as her master walked out of Mingyue Pavilion.

Banxia understands that the master is going to Longgan Palace, and the only way for her to seek justice for herself is to go to Longgan Palace and ask Concubine Chen for help.

…………

What people didn't expect was that after leaving the lotus pond, Concubine Xian returned directly to Yongchun Palace.

After changing into plain clothes and removing all the hairpins and hair ornaments on her head, Concubine Xian, with her long hair loose, brought Linglong to Longgan Palace.

Asking Linglong to spread the straw mat in her hands on the ground, Concubine Xian just knelt down, and Linglong knelt beside her, her posture was completely different from that in the lotus pond before.

"Master, Concubine Xian is here." Zi Yan came in from the house with a strange expression on her face, she blessed Su Qingyan who was having breakfast, and then she opened her mouth to report.

"Concubine Xian? I'll come if you come, but I'm eating now, so it's inconvenient to see people." I got up late this morning, so Su Qingyan just had breakfast.

Because she got up late, she didn't have time to wash up properly, so she just wore a long gown and sat in the outer room to eat.

This appearance is really inconvenient to see people.

"Master, Concubine Xian came to Longgan Palace, not looking for you. The servant just watched that Concubine Xian was taking off her hairpin to treat her crime."

She reported everything she saw to her master, and sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Su Qingyan immediately looked at her in surprise.

"What did you just say, take off the hairpin and treat it as a crime? Concubine Xian?" Repeating what Zitan said just now, seeing her nodding, the surprise on Su Qingyan's face became even stronger.

"Do you know why? Why haven't you heard any news?" Frowning, Su Qingyan asked again. Now that she is in Longgan Palace, it stands to reason that the news should be better than before.

"Master, forgive me, but this servant doesn't know what's going on. I didn't hear any rumors before this, and this servant has asked Zixuan to inquire about it."

Hearing Su Qingyan's question, Zitan replied, she should have known about such a thing a long time ago, but until now, she hadn't heard anything.

"Forget it, we're in Longgan Palace anyway, let's just watch." After hearing Zitan finish speaking, Su Qingyan waved her hands and continued to eat her breakfast with her head bowed.

When Concubine Zhuang came to Longgan Palace, she saw Concubine Xian who was taking off her hairpin to treat the crime. She was startled, hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards the side hall with lotus flowers.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhuang is here." Linglong, who was kneeling beside Concubine Xian, noticed Concubine Zhuang's arrival. She looked at Concubine Xian in front of her, and said back.

"I have seen it, it's okay." Since she dared to do it, Concubine Zhuang is not afraid of punishment, besides, now that she has done enough, the emperor will not punish her when he comes back.

Hearing what her master said, Linglong felt relieved.

At this time, Su Qingyan had already had her breakfast, upon hearing Zitan's reply, Su Qingyan's eyes couldn't help flashing surprise again.

Asking Zitan to invite people in, Su Qingyan sat on the soft couch and watched Concubine Zhuang enter the hall. In Concubine Zhuang's hand, she held the lotus that Pinellia plucked back, and it is now blooming just right.

"My concubine pays her respects to Imperial Concubine Chen, and Imperial Concubine Chen Jin'an." Holding the lotus, Concubine Zhuang saluted Su Qingyan with the same respectful tone as before, but Su Qingyan still heard a slight difference.

"Get up quickly, the lotus in Concubine Zhuang's hand is blooming really well, thanks for your hard work." Smiling, Concubine Zhuang got up, Su Qingyan didn't ask anything, she looked at the lotus in Concubine Zhuang's hand, her tone was gentle opened the mouth.

"This lotus can be liked by the imperial concubine, it's good luck." After hearing Su Qingyan's words, Concubine Zhuang smiled and said, Su Qingyan motioned Zitan to take it, and put the lotus in a vase.

"Did Concubine Zhuang come here by yourself? Could it be that you also picked the lotus yourself?" Concubine Zhuang came to her more than once, and every time, she brought a little maid by her side.

"Returning to the imperial concubine, the lotus is picked by the concubine's maid Banxia for the imperial concubine. As for coming to Longgan Palace, it is indeed the concubine herself."

Hearing Su Qingyan's question, Concubine Zhuang didn't hide anything, she smiled and responded to Su Qingyan's question.

As soon as Concubine Zhuang's words fell, Su Qingyan immediately sensed something. Thinking of the trace of inappropriate emotions she heard just now, Su Qingyan reckoned that Concubine Zhuang's visit to Longgan Palace today was not just about sending lotus flowers .

Anyway, Concubine Zhuang is also a concubine, and she should bring two palace maids with her when she goes out, but this time, she came by herself, which shows that there may be something wrong with it.

Thinking of this, Su Qingyan looked at Concubine Zhuang, and asked bluntly, "I wonder if Concubine Zhuang has encountered any troubles? If so, just tell me directly, without being polite or covering up."
