Queen is fearless

Chapter 199
"That's all." After leaving Fengyang Palace, Wen Xiuyuan headed back to Zhongcui Palace.

"Ma'am, there seems to be someone on the path over there." Dongqing followed beside her. She noticed the figure on the path, and she looked familiar, so she reported it to Wen Xiuyuan.

Wen Xiuyuan followed Dongqing's fingers and saw Qingluan on the path.

"Go and have a look." A strange light flashed in his eyes, Wen Xiuyuan took Dongqing and walked towards the path.

Qingluan appeared here on purpose, without Gu Jinzhi's order, she thought, since Wen Xiuyuan is suspicious, why not try it out by herself.

So, after coming out of the main hall, she left Fengyang Palace without authorization, and waited on the small road, thinking about some sad things, her eyes were red and her face was covered with tears.

"Miss Qingluan?" Wen Xiuyuan's voice came from behind, which made Qingluan happy. She had an attitude of giving it a try, but unexpectedly, Wen Xiuyuan really came.

Turning around quickly, Qingluan hid her surprise and became flustered. Seeing that it was Wen Xiuyuan, she eased up a bit, "Slave please greet Wen Xiuyuan."

"Quickly excuse me." Wen Xiuyuan's tone was very gentle after giving Qingluan a hand.

"Why are you here? In this cold day, your face is going to be chapped." The tears on Qingluan's face were very obvious. Wen Xiuyuan took out a handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to her.

"It's cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, if you don't mind, why don't you go to Zhongcui Palace in this palace?"

After finishing speaking, she glanced in the direction of Fengyang Palace, a little worried, "I'm afraid that the empress might misunderstand."

"Of course the servant doesn't mind. Wen Xiuyuan doesn't dislike the servant, and the servant is very grateful." She also glanced at Fengyang Palace as she said, "Now that the empress is like this, even if there are more misunderstandings, what can I do?"

The circles of her eyes became redder, and tears rolled down the corners of her eyes. She reached out to wipe it off, but she didn't pick up Wen Xiuyuan's handkerchief.

"I know that you feel wronged. During this time, Jiang Zhaohua and you have both been wronged, but I think that it is understandable for the empress to be like this."

Leading Qingluan to Zhongcui Palace, Wen Xiuyuan persuaded her, "Right now, the empress is pregnant, and it's hard to guess what the pregnant woman is thinking."

"The situation was critical at the time. If I were a step slower, the empress would have been hit by Jiang Zhaohua just like you. She was pregnant with twins. If she fell down, the consequences would be disastrous."

"So it is inevitable for her to be angry in her heart. Of course, in this situation, I dare not say that it is the empress's fault, but I also feel that it is unfair to Jiang Zhaohua and you."

Wen Xiuyuan's words surprised Qingluan. She originally thought that if she appeared alone on the path, Wen Xiuyuan would speak ill of the empress after seeing her.

It might even win him over, after all, he has been with the empress since he was a child, and was brought into the palace by her natal family.

In the past, she was the one who took care of everything about the empress, and she knew everything about the empress very well.

Unexpectedly, Wen Xiuyuan's words were all speaking for the empress, in order to comfort her emotions.

Could it be that there is nothing suspicious about this Wen Xiuyuan, and they are all overthinking everything?

Although thinking so in her heart, Qingluan didn't dare to show the slightest bit on her face, she still looked very aggrieved.

"Don't be sad, maybe after a while, Empress Empress won't be like this."

Wen Xiuyuan paid attention to Qingluan's reaction, seeing that she was really wronged, so she felt relieved.

However, she still focused on persuading Qingluan, and never mentioned a single bad word about the queen.

In Fengyang Palace, Gu Jinzhi asked about Qingluan's whereabouts. Just now, Wen Xiuyuan came and interrupted her. There are some things that she hasn't finished explaining to Qingluan.

"Mother, Qingluan seems to have left Fengyang Palace after she came out just now, maybe she went to find Jiang Zhaohua?" Ziyuan responded to Gu Jinzhi's words, she saw Qingluan walking towards the outside of Fengyang Palace with her own eyes.

"Looking for Jiang Zhaohua? It shouldn't be, I haven't finished talking yet." Qingluan is the person next to her and knows her thoughts most clearly, so she shouldn't leave before she finishes speaking.

"Send someone to investigate, where did she go after leaving Fengyang Palace?"

Gu Jinzhi believed in Qingluan, and she wanted to know her whereabouts because she was worried.

After receiving the order, Ziyuan exited the hall, came back soon, and reported the news to Gu Jinzhi.

Someone in the palace saw Qingluan appear on the path, and finally left with Wen Xiuyuan.

"This girl, why is she so good at making claims?" Frowning, Gu Jinzhi was a little worried. Wen Xiuyuan gave her the feeling that she was more dangerous than Concubine Dong before.

She is by no means a simple-minded person, and what happened before is definitely related to her.

The reason why Jiang Zhaohua and Qingluan were deliberately neglected was to show her a show. She probably wanted to get close to herself, so she often sent people to give her things.

No, before her leg injury healed, she came to Fengyang Palace, saying hello, but she didn't know what she was thinking!
Wen Xiuyuan was here just now, and she deliberately said in front of her that she would be promoted to the position of Emperor Ming during the Chinese New Year.

At that time, Wen Xiuyuan didn't react much. It can be seen that she didn't take the matter of promotion to heart.

This is a very ambitious woman, and Gu Jinzhi was worried that Qingluan would suffer from her.

"Send someone to find Qingluan." Worried in his heart, Gu Jinzhi ordered that Qingluan followed Wen Xiuyuan and returned to Zhongcui Palace.

Asking Dongqing to pour a cup of tea for Qingluan, Wen Xiuyuan sat on the soft couch with a gentle smile on his face.

"Have a sip of tea. If it's cold today, you've been standing outside for a long time, right?"

Opening her mouth with concern, Wen Xiuyuan looked as if she really cared about Qingluan.

"Thank you Wen Xiuyuan for your concern, the maidservant didn't stand for too long." Holding the teacup in his hand, Qingluan hesitated for a moment, and took a sip.

"Miss Qingluan doesn't like drinking tea?" Seeing Qingluan like this, the smile on Wen Xiuyuan's face remained unchanged, but a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"Returning to Wen Xiuyuan, the servant does not like to drink tea, but the empress is kind, how can the servant refuse?"

She quickly responded, and for some reason, she felt a little flustered in her heart. She tried her best to stabilize her emotions and let herself face Wen Xiuyuan calmly.

"That's how it is. Since you don't like it, you can just say it. How about asking Dongqing to exchange a cup of nectar for you, or just a glass of water?"

"I won't bother Xiuyuan anymore. For slaves, it's not bad to have tea right now."

Quickly took over the words, there may be nothing in the tea, but if it is not complete, then there will be something in it, she suddenly realized her recklessness.

"It's okay, if you don't like it, don't force it, Dongqing, bring Miss Qingluan a cup of nectar..."
