Queen is fearless

Chapter 40 The Meaning of 'Reward'

As soon as Gu Jinzhi's words fell, Lin Jieyu's brows furrowed imperceptibly.

She originally thought that she had provoked Concubine Dong and the others, if she left early and returned to the Qingqiu Pavilion, no one would be able to do anything to her.

Unexpectedly, after the queen agreed to herself, she would let other people retreat with her.

In this way, it is inevitable to go outside Fengyang Palace, and there will be some troubles.

Could it be that the queen did this on purpose?

Sitting in the first place, Gu Jinzhi watched the crowd bow to him, then retreated outside the hall.

Lin Jieyu guessed right, she did it on purpose.

No matter in modern times or in ancient times, she was never a kind master. Lin Jieyu wanted to kill herself several times back then, how could she let it go so easily?
Of course, in today's situation, she doesn't need to do it herself, there will be people who can't hold back and let Lin Jieyu taste the karma that has been brewed.

After leaving the main hall, the concubines walked slowly towards the outside of Fengyang Palace according to their positions.

Zhao Jieyu took Yang Guibin's arm, passed by Lin Jieyu, and bumped into her hard.

If it weren't for Qiuyue at the side to support her, Lin Jieyu would definitely fall to the ground.

"Zhao Jieyu!" Staring at Zhao Jieyu who was walking in front, Lin Jieyu was very angry. How long ago did someone dare to treat her like this?
"What is Lin Jieyu doing so loudly? This is Fengyang Palace, so you won't be allowed to be presumptuous!"

Zhao Jieyu turned her head to look at her, her eyes were full of sarcasm, Lin Jieyu supported Qiuyue's arm, trembling with anger.

"My lord, this is Fengyang Palace after all." Qiuyue reminded in a low voice.

Today's master is no longer the concubine Lin who was aloof in the past, she is just a Jieyu, whoever is higher than her can take care of her.

The most terrible thing is that no one will help her get ahead, after all, the entire Lin family has collapsed.

Qiuyue's words made the anger in Lin Jieyu's heart gradually calm down. She knew that what Qiuyue said was right, even if she was furious, she had to endure it.

Thinking of this, she glared at Zhao Jieyu and stopped talking.

Originally, Zhao Jieyu wanted to take this opportunity to quarrel with her, but she didn't expect the people around her to be so clever, so they persuaded her with a few words.

Last time it was Yingchun, but this time it was Qiuyue. It seems that we have to find a way to get rid of these two people.

Thinking secretly in her heart, Zhao Jieyu snorted, took Yang Guipin's arm, and continued to walk outside Fengyang Palace.

Lin Jieyu stood for a while, then slowly followed.

According to the rules, the low-ranking concubines can only leave in turn after the high-ranking concubines leave.

When she arrived outside Fengyang Palace, Concubine Dong supported the hand of the palace attendant and got into the sedan chair. She turned her head and glanced at Lin Jieyu.

Seemingly noticing it, Lin Jieyu raised her head and looked at Concubine Dong. She saw the sarcasm on Concubine Dong's face, which made the fire in her heart burn again.

Seeing the anger on Lin Jieyu's face and the mockery on Concubine Dong's face turned into a smile, she ordered to go back to Yichun Palace.

Yuan Bao took the palace servants and moved the things ordered by the emperor to Fengyang Palace.

From a distance, he saw all the concubines outside Fengyang Palace, he gave an order and slowed down.

Concubine Dong's sedan chair passed by him, he stopped and saluted Concubine Dong.

Sitting on the sedan chair, Concubine Dong looked at the little eunuchs behind Yuan Bao, carrying all kinds of things, and couldn't help but think of what happened last night. For a while, her face was very ugly.

After her sedan chair passed, Yuan Bao led the people and continued to walk forward.

There are quite a few palace people behind him, and all the concubines outside Fengyang Palace can see them.

Lin Jieyu looked at the bright red coral tree, wishing to bite her lips.

At the beginning, she succeeded, and asked the emperor several times for this coral tree, but she never succeeded, but now...

Thinking of this, pain flashed in her eyes, and the resentment towards the queen in her heart grew deeper and deeper.

After all the concubines had left, Yuan Bao led the young eunuchs into Fengyang Palace, and when he knew that Yuan Bao had arrived, Gu Jinzhi responded and asked someone to invite him in.

"My servant greets the Empress." Entering the hall, Yuan Bao saluted Gu Jinzhi respectfully.

"Get up, I don't know what's the matter with Manager Yuan coming?" Gu Jinzhi smiled as he beckoned him to get up.

For some reason, Yuan Bao always felt that the queen's smile seemed chilly.

"Returning to the empress, yesterday the emperor specially ordered the servant to prepare some gifts for the servant to deliver to the empress this morning."

"Yesterday, the emperor thought that Mrs. Gu would stay in the palace for one night, so he didn't come back to Fengyang Palace."

When he said this, Yuan Bao secretly slapped himself on the mouth in his heart, seriously, which pot should not be opened and which pot should be lifted.

But the conversation started, and I have to continue, "Although yesterday, the emperor turned over the signboard of Concubine Dong, but he didn't live in Yichun Palace. Not long after dinner, the emperor left."

Looking around, Yuan Bao lowered his voice, "People only think that the emperor has court affairs to deal with, but it is not true, the emperor is thinking about the empress."

"Last night, the emperor specially asked the servant to inquire about the situation of Fengyang Palace. He was afraid that it would be inconvenient for Mrs. Gu to live in the palace. But when the servant came, the gates of Fengyang Palace were closed. .”

'Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what this servant said is for you! Whispering in his heart, Yuan Bao peeked at Gu Jinzhi's expression.

Seeing that her originally chilly smile seemed to be warming up a bit, she felt relieved and gave orders to have all the things brought up.

"Your Majesty, this tree coral was obtained by the emperor before your empress entered the palace. It has been hidden in a private treasury, and no one is willing to give it to you."

Seeing the Queen's gaze fell on the coral, Yuan Bao quickly smiled and told the story of the coral.

Of the few things that were sent, Gu Jinzhi liked the tree coral the most. After listening to Yuan Bao, she nodded with a smile, "There is Lao Yuan in charge, help me tell the emperor that the emperor's 'reward', I am very happy." like."

He deliberately emphasized the reward, and Yuan Bao's cold sweat dripped down.

Dare to say it for a long time, the empress is still sour in her heart!

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the servant will definitely bring it." Yuan Bao quickly replied, watching the Queen order the palace servants to put away the things he brought, and the tree coral was placed in a prominent position in the hall.

After receiving the reward, Yuan Bao returned to the imperial study room. He stood outside the imperial study room and glanced inside from time to time.

"Come in." The emperor's voice came, he had already noticed that Yuan Bao was back, but he didn't come in for a long time, which made Zhou Jing a little strange.

"Reporting to the emperor, the servant sent all the things to the empress, and the empress asked the servant to tell me that she liked the emperor's 'reward' very much."

With his head down, Yuan Bao spoke cautiously, and Zhou Jing frowned after hearing his words.

"You just said that the queen asked you to bring a message, saying that you like my 'reward' very much?"
