Queen is fearless

Chapter 254
"Thank you Empress for your concern, my concubine is very good." Standing up, she blessed Gu Jinzhi, and Concubine Dong's tone was neither salty nor weak.

She knew that despite the magnanimity and magnanimity on the surface, the queen is actually a person who will take revenge, not only that, but also quite scheming.

If it wasn't for her, she wouldn't have been grounded. Not only that, until now, everyone thought that it was her who pushed the queen into the pond.

She clearly jumped off by herself!

But if such a thing had not been experienced by oneself, who would believe it?She can only admit that she is unlucky.

"That's good. You just lifted the foot restraint. If there is anything missing in Yongchun Palace, feel free to send someone to tell me."

Nodding her head, she asked Concubine Dong to sit down. This time, Gu Jinzhi looked at Wen Xiuyuan.

"I heard that Wen Xiuyuan was unwell some time ago, but is she better now?"

After Dongqing died, Wen Xiuyuan said that she was unwell and rarely came out in Zhongcui Palace.

Apart from the previous temptations, Gu Jinzhi would still send people to Zhongcui Palace from time to time.

The purpose of giving things before was to numb Wen Xiuyuan and make her think that she believed in her.

Afterwards, the delivery of things was more of a nuisance to Wen Xiuyuan, and Wen Xiuyuan knew this well.

Although she was resentful, every time, she had to accept those things respectfully.

The concubines in the harem didn't care how Dongqing died. After all, she was just a slave, and some of them didn't even know who Dongqing was.

When they heard that the queen had given something to Zhong Cuigong, they all thought that it was because Wen Xiuyuan had saved the queen before, so it was so.

Now, when the queen asked Wen Xiuyuan, some people couldn't help feeling envious, wishing that they were the one who saved the queen.

"Thank you for your concern, my concubine, too." Standing up, she saluted Gu Jinzhi. Compared with Concubine Dong's indifferent attitude, Wen Xiuyuan seemed to be gentler.

Gu Jinzhi understood that it was all an illusion, just like what he showed now.

The people in the harem are used to acting, and they are not bad at all compared to this modern empress.

"That's good. I heard that sometimes, physical discomfort is related to the heart. I wonder if Wen Xiuyuan is the same?"

Her gaze was still on Wen Xiuyuan's face, and Gu Jinzhi's smile remained unchanged. When she asked such a question, the expression on Wen Xiuyuan's face froze.

She felt that the queen did it on purpose, deliberately saying that she was thinking too much in front of everyone.

"Return to your mother's words, concubine..." She wanted to refute, but in the middle of speaking, she heard the queen's voice again.

"By the way, Concubine Dong had a rash before. Is it all gone now? I have sent someone to investigate. It seems that this is the first time you have a rash since you were a child. What happened to you that you should not touch?"

Gu Jinzhi's eyes fell on Concubine Dong again, Wen Xiuyuan's words got stuck in her throat and she couldn't speak them out.

In her eyes, resentment flashed very quickly, she knew that the queen was deliberately embarrassing her!

Why at the beginning, if you wanted to get close to her obsessively, you should just watch from the sidelines and let her and the child in her belly fall to death!
Concubine Dong didn't expect why the matter suddenly came to her. She glanced at Wen Xiuyuan, then stood up and responded to the queen's question.

"The rash on my body has already healed. It has never happened before. I don't know what I touched. When the rash appeared, I have already ordered people not to send it to Yongchun Palace."

In her heart, Concubine Dong suspected that it was Wen Xiuyuan, but there was no actual evidence.

"That's right, women pay more attention to their appearance. If they have a whole body and face, how will they see people in the future? Fortunately, it is only caused by food..."

After finishing speaking, Gu Jinzhi glanced at Wen Xiuyuan, then quickly looked away, picked up the tea on the table, and took a sip.

Concubine Dong was observing her reaction, she noticed the look she gave Wen Xiuyuan, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Thinking about just now, the queen said that Wen Xiuyuan was not feeling well, maybe she was thinking too much, and then she asked herself, and then glanced at her again, could it be... What did the queen know?
Even though she thought so, Concubine Dong would not ask the queen anything. The relationship between her and the queen would not be really improved in this lifetime.

"It's getting late, let's go." After finishing what should be said, Gu Jinzhi waved his hand.

All the concubines got up together and saluted the queen.

Watching the crowd recede, Jiang Zhaohua sat down again, she didn't intend to leave, even Xiuyi thought about it, and sat down too.

Gu Jinzhi's gaze fell on the two of them. Seeing that they were sitting comfortably, he couldn't help but shook his head, then turned to tell Qingluan to ask the small kitchen to prepare more meals, and leave Jiang Zhaohua and Lian Xiuyi to have dinner in Fengyang Palace at noon .

Concubine Dong and the others retreated from the palace, and there were voices of concubines whispering. It was simply because Jiang Zhaohua and Lian Xiuyi stayed behind, making people jealous.

In this harem, there are only these two. With such treatment, the others want to stay first, and they are not qualified.

Glancing at the speaking concubine, Concubine Dong withdrew her gaze and walked outside Fengyang Palace, not far behind, followed by Wen Xiuyuan.

Unlike when they came, when they left, the two had no communication.

"Pearl, when we were in Fengyang Palace, the Empress seemed to mean something." Sitting on the sedan chair and heading back to Yongchun Palace, Concubine Dong told Pearl about her doubts.

Pearl was there at that time, right next to her, and she could hear everything in the hall.

"My servant also thinks that the empress seems to be implying something. Perhaps, the empress knows the truth about your rash." The master and servant did not suspect the empress, after all, at that time, the empress had just given birth and did not have the energy.

"Even if she knows, I can't ask her, but judging by her reaction, it should be related to Wen's."

"Before I was in Yongchun Palace, I couldn't know some things. Now that the confinement has been lifted, I know a lot of news in the harem."

"Look at this palace, the relationship between the queen and Wen Xiuyuan is not as good as other people say. Think about it, Jiang Zhaohua and Lian Xiuyi, what kind of treatment do these two people who have a good relationship with the queen get?"

"Look at Wen Xiuyuan again, something must have happened between her and the queen, something we don't know."

"Because of this, the queen will know about some things about her, and she will secretly tell me about her in the palace today. This is because she wants to use me to deal with Wen Xiuyuan!"

Concubine Dong admits that she sees the queen's intentions clearly.

"Your Majesty, if that's the case...do you still want to deal with Wen Xiuyuan?" After listening to Concubine Dong's words, Pearl thought for a while and asked what she meant.

"It's my business to deal with Wen Xiuyuan. It has nothing to do with the queen. It's only my fault. Wen Xiuyuan doesn't have a head, so she insists on messing with me!"

　I'm busy outside, and there is another update, it may be very late, so don't wait.
