Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 131 Zhao Rong

Everything was planned by Nanny Qin, the queen mother was relieved a lot, thinking of the matter between Xuanyuanqi and Concubine Chu, the queen mother stretched out her hand and rubbed the center of her brows.

"At the beginning, Aijia saw that Qi'er and Yurou were childhood sweethearts, and the two were often together, so they wanted to get them married."

"However, the first emperor married Yurou to the emperor. The Ai family understands what the first emperor means. Since he prefers the emperor, he will not let Yurou marry Qi'er."

"For so many years, Qi'er has always had resentment in his heart. When the first emperor bestowed the marriage, he had come to beg Aijia, hoping that Aijia could persuade the late emperor to change his mind and give him the marriage of Yurou. .”

"How can the Ai family be able to persuade the late emperor's temper? In the end, Yurou married the emperor."

"After so many years, the Ai family never expected that he would still miss Yurou, and even...even do such a thing."

Sighing, the queen mother only felt a headache, "No matter what, that matter must be hidden, and no one must know."

"Don't worry, the queen mother, the old slave will be there for everything, and the old slave will make proper arrangements." After hearing the queen mother's words, Mother Qin responded quickly, and the queen mother nodded and got up from the soft couch.

"Ai's family feels a little uncomfortable, go to the inner room and lie down for a while, you can arrange the rest." After finishing speaking, the queen mother entered the inner room alone.

Mother Qin saw her go in, so she turned around and made arrangements.

When Zixiao returned to Roufu Palace, Zizhu was looking for her, saw her coming in from outside the palace, and quickly pulled her aside.

"What are you doing? I've been looking for you for a long time? Why is your face so ugly?" When she was in Shoukang Palace, Zixiao was tidied up by Nanny Qin, and the wound on her body was in pain.

"Zizhu, the Empress Dowager already knows what happened yesterday." Opening in a low voice, Zixiao said to Zizhu, "I was sent to Shoukang Palace just now by Nanny Qin."

"What? The queen mother knows, so what should I do? Are you okay?" Zizhu also knew about Qin Nanny's methods. Seeing that Zixiao's face was extremely ugly, she reckoned that it was Qin Nanny who tortured her .

"I'm fine." Shaking his head, Zi Xiao took Zi Zhu's hand, "I think it's not a bad thing for the Queen Mother to know about it, some things are beyond your and my ability."

"When I came back, Mother Qin told me that if anyone came to visit, it was the queen mother's order to ask Concubine Chu to rest, and no one should visit me."

"I see, you go and rest, master, I'll just watch over here." The matter has come to this point, it's useless to say anything else, Zizhu nodded, and said with concern.

"That's fine, I'll take a short break, and then I'll replace you." Zi Xiao and Zi Zhu grew up, so you don't need to be polite, she is really uncomfortable and needs to go back to the room to rest.

After Zixiao left, Zizhu went into the inner room to take care of the sleeping Concubine Chu.

Concubine Chu Guifei was ill for several days, and on August [-]th, she was still recuperating in Roufu Palace.

After being ill for a few days, she lost a lot of weight, and her spirit was very bad.

Because of her illness, many concubines came to visit, but Zizhu sent them away.

"Zizhu, the queen is in Yanqing Palace today, will you hold a palace banquet for my aunt?" Leaning on the imperial concubine chair, Concubine Chu asked Zizhu.

"If you go back to your mother, you are in Yanqing Palace. Your body has not recovered yet, so you are raised in the palace?" Hearing Concubine Chu Guifei's question, Zi Zhu quickly responded.

"Don't worry, I don't plan to go. Right now, I don't know how to face my aunt."

After Concubine Chu woke up, Zizhu reported to her about Zixiao being taken to Shoukang Palace by Nanny Qin.

What Xuanyuanqi did had a great impact on Concubine Chu Gui. In the past few days, she often had nightmares, and in her dreams, all of that happened again and again.

She was already ill, but because of this, her body became weaker and weaker, which made Zizhu and Zixiao very worried.

Fortunately, since yesterday, Concubine Chu's condition has improved, at least she can eat.

Concubine Chu Gui is suffering from a heart disease, and in this case, she can only comfort herself.

Things have already happened, time cannot be reversed, she was indeed defiled by Xuanyuanqi, but so what?to die?
It's not that she hasn't thought about it, but she is the daughter of the Chu family, so she can't die.

Since she couldn't die, she could only survive, but according to her current situation, it was obviously impossible.

She kept persuading and comforting herself in her heart, and finally, her situation improved.

Hearing that Concubine Chu said that she would not go to Yanqing Palace, Zizhu heaved a sigh of relief. She felt that it was not suitable for her to go to Yanqing Palace according to her master's current situation.

"I'm tired, help me to rest." Taking a deep breath, Concubine Chu ordered, Zi Zhu helped her up and walked towards the inner room.

…………

"How is Concubine Chu's health?" On the way to Yanqing Palace, Su Qingning asked Hongxiu.

"Returning to the master, I heard that Concubine Chu Guifei is much better, but this time she is a little seriously ill, so it will take some time to recuperate."

Hearing Su Qingning's question, Hongxiu opened her mouth and responded to her question.

"That's good, who is going to Yanqing Palace today?" There are not many concubines in the harem, and they can usually participate in palace banquets.

But today is different, today is the empress holding a palace banquet for the empress dowager, those whose status is too low are not qualified to go.

"This slave is really not very clear. Apart from the empress and you, Zhang Zhaorong and Lu Xiurong are definitely going to participate. I don't know about the rest."

Because she didn't know much, Hongxiu talked about her guess. After hearing her finish, Su Qingning nodded.

Su Qingning's sedan chair arrived in front of the gate of Yanqing Palace, and at the same time, another person's sedan chair also fell down.

Su Qingning supported Nanny Chen's hand, got out of the sedan chair, and looked at the other party, it was Zhang Zhaorong.

"My concubine pays her respects to Zhang Zhaorong." Su Qingning was a third-rank concubine, and Zhang Zhaorong was a third-rank official. According to the rules, Su Qingning had to salute her.

Seeing Su Qingning salute, Zhang Zhaorong hurriedly took a step aside, as if realizing something was wrong, she moved back and spoke with some anxiety.

"Su Xiuyi is polite. You are pregnant, so don't be too polite." When Zhang Zhaorong said this, his head was lowered, his voice was very low, as if he was afraid of Su Qingning.

Seeing her like this, Su Qingning stood up after responding. She didn't have much contact with Zhang Zhaorong, and there were very few memories of Zhang Zhaorong in her mind. The only thing she knew was that she was very timid.

Looking at it now, it is true that she is lower than her, and she should accept her salute with peace of mind, but looking at her, she seems to be quite frightened.

"Zhang Zhaorong, invite you first." Making a gesture of invitation to her, Su Qingning smiled and said, trying to keep his tone gentle, Zhang Zhaorong nodded, and walked towards Yanqing Palace.
