Queen is fearless

Chapter 198
"Mistress Qi, Wen Xiuyuan is here." Just as he was speaking, there was a voice of reply from outside the hall, and Gu Jinzhi raised his eyebrows involuntarily.

As soon as I finished talking about the harem, the most unstable person appeared.

She glanced at Qingluan, who immediately understood and knelt down on the ground.

"Wen Xiuyuan, please come in." At this moment, there was a hint of anger in Gu Jinzhi's voice.

Wen Xiuyuan brought Dongqing and came in from outside the palace. She could hear the anger in the queen's voice clearly.

Seeing Qingluan kneeling on the ground, her eyes flashed suddenly. Presumably, the Queen's anger was due to Qingluan.

"My concubine greets the empress." Wen Xiuyuan looked away, and saluted Gu Jinzhi.

"Get up quickly, your foot injury hasn't healed yet, why don't you take good care of it in Zhongcui Palace?" As soon as Wen Xiuyuan came in, Gu Jinzhi's eyes fell on her.

Seeing her salute, Gu Jinzhi spoke in a gentle tone, and after Wen Xiuyuan and Dongqing thanked her, they got up together.

As a palace resident, not yet a resident of Fengyang Palace, Dongqing retreated knowingly, and stood still near the gate of the hall.

Gu Jinzhi gave Wen Xiuyuan a seat, and ordered Hongxiu to prepare refreshments for him.

"My concubine's foot injury has healed a lot, so I came here to pay my respects to the empress, and thank you for caring about my concubine so much during this time."

Ever since Wen Xiuyuan sprained her ankle, Gu Jin would send someone to deliver things to Wen Xiuyuan from time to time.

"If it weren't for you, maybe now, Bengong wouldn't be able to sit here. It's just some things, why do you have to go there yourself, the ankle is better?"

Qingluan was still kneeling on the ground, from the time Wen Xiuyuan came in until now, Gu Jinzhi never gave her a look, as if she didn't exist.

"It's my concubine's blessing to be able to help your empress. After training, my ankles are already much better."

Although it was sprained before, it was corrected by Wei Yi at that time, and it hurt for two days afterwards, and the swelling subsided after insisting on applying ointment.

After this period of recuperation, walking on the ground is no problem, as long as you don't walk for too long and don't work too hard.

She is a Xiuyuan, and she has nothing to work hard for. She came to Fengyang Palace today to test it out.

To test whether the queen is as she has shown, and to test whether her own strategy has succeeded.

"Although I feel better, I still need to pay more attention. I heard that there is a saying that it takes a hundred days to hurt your muscles and bones. How long has it been for you? There are still days to cultivate!"

After Wen Xiuyuan finished speaking, Gu Jinzhi's tone became more gentle.

At this moment, Hongxiu prepared refreshments and placed them beside Wen Xiuyuan.

"Mother, please forgive me for talking too much, this is..." Qingluan kept kneeling, with her head lowered, and Wen Xiuyuan couldn't see her expression clearly.

In her heart, Wen Xiuyuan looked down on Gu Jinzhi a little bit, thinking that she was not as smart as imagined, that's all.

Otherwise, neither Jiang Zhaohua nor Qingluan would be treated like this.

Of course, she likes the queen so much, the more brainless she is, the happier she is.

"The end of the year is approaching, and there are many things to be busy. I am pregnant, so it is not appropriate to work too hard, and you have been injured again. The big and small things in this palace are all on Jiang Zhaohua's body."

"Although what happened before made me a little angry, but in the end, many things in the harem are inseparable from Jiang Zhaohua. I asked Qingluan to help her. I didn't expect this girl to be dissatisfied with me in private. It's exasperating!"

Seeing that Wen Xiuyuan asked about Qingluan, Gu Jinzhi glanced at her with cold eyes, she retracted her gaze, and when she looked at Wen Xiuyuan again, she regained her gentleness.

"In the end, Miss Qingluan is someone close to the empress, and it is inevitable that she will be wronged now. Please forgive her this time."

Standing up, Wen Xiuyuan saluted Gu Jinzhi and pleaded for Qingluan.

Because she lowered her head, she couldn't see the expression on Gu Jinzhi's face, which was either mocking or cold.

"Since Wen Xiuyuan pleaded for you, I'll let you off this time, why don't you get out?"

Looking at Qingluan again, Gu Jinzhi's voice was tinged with coldness.

Qingluan responded respectfully, got up and left the hall.

After Qingluan left, Wen Xiuyuan looked away, and sat down on the chair again under Gu Jinzhi's order.

The two chatted casually, seemingly insignificant matters, but in Wen Xiuyuan's view, they were all critical and important news.

"Speaking of which, the month of the empress is getting older and older. Are you ready to give birth to a housewife?"

She spoke with a concerned expression. The delivery room had already been arranged long before, and the midwives and wet nurses had also been selected.

Now, just waiting for the fruit to fall and the empress to give birth.

"It's all ready. After the year, Ben Gong's mother will come into the palace to accompany Ben Gong to give birth." At that time, there will still be Yun Niang, but her identity will be hidden.

Except for a few of them, no one will know Yunniang's true identity.

"That's good. It is said that when a woman gives birth, it is like walking through the gate of hell. The mother is pregnant with twins, and the danger will be more. The concubine will pray for the mother every day that everything is safe."

After hearing the Queen's words, Wen Xiuyuan got up again and saluted Gu Jinzhi.

"In front of Bengong, Wen Xiuyuan doesn't have to be so polite. Your foot injury is just a little bit better. Don't make it worse because of Bengong."

"To tell you the truth, I plan to find an opportunity to discuss with the emperor. During the Chinese New Year, I will be promoted to your position."

His eyes fell on Wen Xiuyuan, and Gu Jinzhi stared at her closely.

Faced with such news, ordinary people would definitely be very happy, but looking at Wen Xiuyuan, there was no other reaction except for being a little surprised at first.

It's as if she already knew it.

Gu Jinzhi guessed that there is another possibility, that is, to Wen Xiuyuan, promotion points are nothing, and what she wants is far more than that.

On this point, Gu Jinzhi guessed right, Wen Xiuyuan really wanted more than that, she wanted to get the queen's throne even more.

However, everything must be considered in the long run, and there is no need to rush.

Right now, the New Year's Eve is getting closer and closer, and I must have made almost all my arrangements. I believe it will be very lively on New Year's Eve.

Gu Jinzhi sat at the top, and she didn't miss any of Wen Xiuyuan's expressions.

She was different from Wen Xiuyuan, even though she tried her best to conceal her emotions, she could still tell the clues.

But... I can see her, but she can't see through me. After all, even the emperor can't see through me, let alone Wen Xiuyuan?
She waited and saw what Wen Xiuyuan wanted to do. The soldiers came to cover her up, but she wanted to know who had the higher rank between herself and Wen Xiuyuan.

"The concubine has not been here for a short time, so I won't bother you, and I will come to talk to my mother another day."

Wen Xiuyuan was about to leave, she thought she had already got the news she wanted.

This Fengyang Palace will belong to her sooner or later, so there is no need to stay for too long now.
