Queen is fearless

Chapter 474 The Queen Has Please
"Your Majesty, there are people coming from Fengyang Palace." Pearl walked in from outside the hall and reported to Concubine Dong who was reading a book.

Don't look at Concubine Dong holding a book in her hand, but her mind is not on the book at all.

"What?" Hearing the voice, she came back to her senses and looked at Pearl.

"People are coming from Fengyang Palace." Pearl blessed Fushen and repeated what she just said.

"Let someone come in." Putting down the book in her hand, Concubine Dong ordered, she was a little puzzled, at this time, the queen sent someone, why?
Soon, Qingluan came in from outside the palace and saluted her, "My servant greets Concubine Dong, and according to the Empress' order, I ask Concubine Dong to go to Fengyang Palace immediately."

"I don't know...the empress is looking for this palace, what's the matter?" Signaling Qingluan to get up, Concubine Dong sized her up.

It seemed that the girl Qingluan next to the empress always had a smile on her face at any time.

It doesn't feel alienated, and it doesn't feel too close.

"Your Majesty has gone to Fengyang Palace, so you know." Qing Luan responded with a smile after being blessed.

She said so, Concubine Dong knew that even if she asked again, she would not be able to find out why.

So he nodded, got up and went to the inner room, and asked Pearl to serve him to change clothes.

Not long after, after packing up, Concubine Dong followed Qingluan to Fengyang Palace in a sedan chair.

Gu Jinzhi was in the hall, and upon receiving the report from the palace servants, he looked towards the entrance of the hall.

Concubine Dong entered the palace, compared to the last time she saw her, she seemed a little clearer.

Probably because of starting to read Buddhist scriptures, the whole person looks calmer than before, I don't know if it is because the mind has calmed down.

Gu Jinzhi couldn't help but recall that when she went to Shoukang Palace, the queen mother once commented on her, saying that her mind was not quiet enough.

Looking at it now, it should be quieter than that time.

After Concubine Dong paid her respects, Gu Jinzhi gave her a seat and ordered someone to prepare refreshments.

"I don't know what's the reason why the empress is looking for a concubine?" Except for the queen and the palace people around her, there was no one else in the palace, which made Concubine Dong even more confused.

In the past, she thought that she knew the queen well, but after going through all kinds of things, she realized that she was thinking too much.

The queen's thoughts... I'm afraid ordinary people can't figure it out, even if the emperor knows how much, it's unknown.

"Concubine Dong is straightforward." Gu Jinzhi took a sip of water and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, I came to you just to talk."

"I don't think that the relationship between myself and the empress is so close that I can gossip. If the empress has something to do, I'd better say it directly, so as not to be nervous."

Concubine Dong looked at Gu Jinzhi, her words were a little blunt. She really couldn't relax in front of the queen.

"Since that's the case, I will be straightforward." Indeed, she and Concubine Dong are really not that close, so it's better to speak directly.

"Concubine Dong must know that there is an important event in the palace recently. I heard that the pearl beside you once persuaded you. I want to know, what do you think?"

From Qingluan's mouth, Gu Jinzhi knew that Zhuzhu had persuaded Concubine Dong to go out of the palace together, but Concubine Dong didn't say anything.

Gu Jinzhi thought, since the people around Concubine Dong had this idea, maybe Concubine Dong herself would also have some thoughts.

It is impossible for her and Concubine Dong to have a harmonious relationship in this life. Keeping her in the harem is tantamount to planting a time bomb around him.

If it was possible, she would be willing to arrange everything for Concubine Dong and send her out of the palace, so it would be easy for everyone.

Even if Concubine Dong has shown weakness, she has been quiet enough recently that Gu Jinzhi cannot fully trust her.

In Gu Jinzhi's mind, Concubine Dong was like a dormant poisonous snake, whenever she couldn't keep it intact, she would give someone a bite.

Because of this, she asked Qingluan to invite Concubine Dong over. If possible, she hoped to persuade Concubine Dong to let her go out of the palace.

"The concubine naturally knows what the empress said, and Pearl did persuade the concubine, but..."

It's just that she still can't make up her mind, she knows her mother's family too well, they don't want her to go out of the palace.

Even if she is in the harem now and cannot bring any benefits to the family, they will not want her to go out of the palace.

For them, even if they die in the harem, it doesn't matter, in short, they can't go out of the palace unless they die.

"It's just that you can't make up your mind, or that you know your mother's family well, is what I said right?"

Gu Jinzhi's words made Concubine Dong look at her in surprise. Indeed, the queen guessed her inner thoughts.

"If I say that I can arrange everything for you and send you away from the capital to a place that your mother's house can't find and you like, are you willing to leave the palace?"

Gu Jinzhi looked at her, and spoke again. At this moment, she saw the wavering in Concubine Dong's eyes.

"Not all the concubines who left the palace this time chose to go home. Many of them begged me to let them leave the capital and go to a place where no one knows them, and live anew incognito."

"I think, although you have been in the harem for many years, if everything is arranged for you, you should be able to live a good life, but it depends on whether you are willing."

"Of course, I won't force you. If you don't want to leave the palace, just like before, keep your duty and stay in Yongchun Palace."

"If you want to leave the palace, just tell me the place you want to go, and I will arrange the rest for you."

"So, Concubine Dong, what do you think?" After finishing what was going to be said, Gu Jinzhi still looked at Concubine Dong, the struggling look in her eyes became more and more obvious.

"Why did the empress do this? I know that the empress is worried. The previous weakness of the concubine was fake. The concubine is still waiting for the opportunity to take action against the empress and even the little highnesses."

"To the empress, the concubine is like a thorn in the empress's heart, which cannot be removed, let alone ignored. Therefore, if the concubine can go out of the palace, the empress will not have any worries, right?"

A smile appeared on Concubine Dong's face. She looked at Gu Jinzhi and said her own analysis.

Gu Jinzhi didn't speak, but the expression on his face showed that what Concubine Dong said was right.

"To be honest, what the empress said just now is really something I can't refuse, but I still can't make up my mind."

"The concubine's mother's family has a high status in the court. If they refuse to let the concubine go after the concubine leaves the palace..."

This is what Concubine Dong is most worried about. Once the Dong family finds her, they will definitely take her back. At that time, one can imagine what the result will be.

"On this point, you can rest assured that since Bengong said that it will be arranged for you, it will definitely be arranged."

"Since you are out of the palace, you are still a member of the Dong family, I guess you don't care?"

Concubine Dong raised her eyebrows, agreeing to what Gu Jinzhi said.

"Since that's the case, what else do you have to worry about? What the Dong family wants is just a title in the palace. If Concubine Dong is gone and you are posthumously named a noble concubine, even if you are still alive and known by them, you will be fine." It doesn't matter anymore, does it?"
