Chapter 76 Restless
Hongxiu's words caused ripples in Concubine Rong's heart. Indeed, the empress is sick now, and she may not have the energy to take care of palace affairs. In this harem, besides the empress, she is the one with the highest status.

At this time, if something happens in the harem...

Thinking of this, Concubine Rong's lips curled into a smile, she pondered carefully for a while, then waved to Hongxiu, beckoning her to come closer to her.

Hongxiu responded and moved to Concubine Rong's lips. After listening to Concubine Rong's order, she blessed Fushen with a smile, and then retreated.

Seeing the red sleeves receding, the smile on Concubine Rong's lips deepened. She seemed to have seen that the emperor handed over the right to assist the Sixth Palace into her own hands, and at that time, Empress Xiao's face was so ugly...

In summer, the breeze is blowing, but people can't feel the slightest coolness, there are only sultry heat, and... impetuous and restless.

…………

"Red Sandalwood." After waking up from a nap, Su Qingyan called softly to the outer room, and Red Sandalwood quickly responded and walked in from the outer room.

"Master, are you awake?" Coming to the bed, Zitan helped Su Qingyan up from the bed, then twisted a handkerchief and handed it to her, "Hurry up and wipe off your sweat."

"Nowadays, it's getting hotter and hotter. I don't know when it will rain?"

Taking the handkerchief, Su Qingyan wiped the sweat from her forehead, frowning slightly.

"Yeah, it hasn't rained for a long time. If that's the case, I'm afraid the farmers will be very worried."

If it doesn't rain, the land will be dry after a long time. Farmers rely on the harvest in the field, but if there is a drought, the harvest in the field will definitely be affected, and there may even be no harvest. At that time, let alone the harvest Taxes, even food and clothing, are problems.

"I remember when I was reading a book, it used to say that if there was a severe drought, there might be a plague of locusts. At that time, it was the real disaster." Sighing, Su Qingyan handed the handkerchief to Zitan, "People can't eat it." If they are full, they will sell their children and daughters at that time, and I feel sorry for those children."

"Speaking of which, it was because of this that the slaves were sold by their parents back then. But the slaves were lucky enough to be by the master's side. If not, there might not even be bones left."

After hearing Su Qingyan's words, Zitan couldn't help thinking of the scene when she was sold. Although she was young at that time, she knew she was going to leave her parents.

"Do you remember how many people there are in the family?" Looking at Zitan, Su Qingyan asked.

"At that time, including the slaves, there were six people. Apart from the parents, the slaves had an older brother on top, a younger sister and a younger brother on the bottom. I don't know how the younger sister is now? Has she also been sold?"

Hearing Su Qingyan's question, Zitan thought carefully before speaking with a wry smile.

"Zitan, do you hate them? If... If one day, they know where you are and come to you, what are you going to do?"

Seeing the wry smile on Zitan's face, Su Qingyan asked her again.

"I don't know if I hate you or not. I probably don't hate you. After all, I'm living a pretty good life now. Now that I'm following my master into the palace, they probably won't be able to find me. Even if I do find me... To tell the truth , I really don’t know what to do!”

After thinking about it carefully, Zitan shook her head in confusion. At first they sold her to make a living, but now they knew that she was doing well, and came to her again. She could not hate them, but she didn't know that when they met again, What should I do?
"Okay, don't think so much, hasn't the matter happened yet? Why think so much? Help me up, I don't know what Shangshanfang will send today?"

Seeing Zitan like this, Su Qingyan smiled and diverted her attention. Zitan responded, helped Su Qingyan to the dressing table, combed her hair, and then helped her change clothes.

After tidying up, the two came out from the inner room, Xiao Fuzi's voice came from outside, Su Qingyan responded and let him enter the room.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that Xiao Fuzi's expression was a little bad, Su Qingyan asked him.

"Returning to the master, the Wang family in the cold palace is gone. In addition, a little eunuch was salvaged from the small garden lake near us just now. I don't know which palace it is from?"

After calling Su Qingyan a thousand times, Xiao Fuzi reported all the news he had just received to Su Qingyan.

"Wang Shi? Isn't that the concubine Rou who was demoted a while ago? It's so good, why is it gone?"

After listening to Xiao Fuzi's words, Su Qingyan showed surprise on her face.

"I heard that Mrs. Wang committed suicide, but I always feel that things are not that simple."

Hearing Su Qingyan's question, Xiao Fuzi expressed her guess. Su Qingyan nodded after listening. She also felt that the matter was not simple.

The reason why I think so is because there is an unwritten rule in the harem, that is, concubines who are thrown into the cold palace, no matter whether they are demoted to common people or not, as long as there is no emperor's will, they cannot commit suicide Otherwise, the family will be implicated.

This is also the reason why those concubines who have been thrown into the cold palace, no matter how hard they live, they can only live with difficulty, because they are afraid and afraid of implicating their families.

At the beginning, Wang was demoted as a commoner, and then thrown into the cold palace. During this period, Emperor Jing never gave her the will to die, so logically speaking, she should not commit suicide, because if she committed suicide, her family would be implicated.

But now, she has committed suicide. This cannot but make people suspect that there is something tricky about it.

"Does the emperor know?" After thinking for a moment, Su Qingyan looked at Xiao Fuzi and asked again.

"Returning to the master, the emperor should already know about it. After all, two people were killed in the palace at once, and Director Kang has already started an investigation."

After listening to Xiao Fuzi's words, Su Qingyan sat on the soft couch, tapped her fingers on the armrest of the soft couch, she always felt that these things happened at this time, it might not be that simple.

"Zitan, these days, be optimistic about Ziyuan, and don't let anything happen to her."

Turning her head and giving instructions to Zitan, Su Qingyan frowned slightly, thinking about the possible consequences of what happened at this time.

Now that the queen just fell ill, something like this happened in the harem. Although the death of a person is not a big deal in the harem, but this kind of thing happened at this time, it has to make people think deeply.

Su Qingyan suspected that this was deliberately arranged by someone. As for the purpose, she couldn't think of it yet.

Right now the queen is ill, even if something happens, the emperor will definitely not blame the queen, but... but maybe the emperor will temporarily leave the palace affairs to someone who can take care of them.

In the harem, apart from the empress, the most qualified person is Concubine Rong...

 I saw some people in the book review area who said that the male lead was flirtatious, and some said that it was the female lead who fell in love first. Meng said that the male lead is the emperor. Even if he fell in love with the female lead, he couldn’t make any big moves right away. Take your time, it is unrealistic to eat a fat man in one breath, only a long stream of water can be firm and permanent.There will be bread and meat!
