Complete Harem Raiders

Chapter 111

The empress dowager was sitting in the main hall with Gu Jingchan and others, talking to the prince and concubine, while the other concubines sat in the side hall and were entertained by Jiang Yueyao.

To say that this Jiang Yueyao was depressed enough, Chu Mingyou didn't go to her place very often, without Sheng Chong, he naturally didn't have the right to handle palace affairs.Even the canonization a few years ago still didn't have her share, how could Jiang Yueyao not feel sad?

Many people can understand Jiang Yueyao's unwillingness.Now that Gu Jingchan is in the limelight, Zhan Luanxi, who has always been on good terms with her, has also been canonized as Ming Concubine.He Zhenxin passed away, and this Jiang Yueyao felt more than a little bit wronged and uncomfortable. She knew that He Zhenxin also drugged her, and now thinking about it, she can't wait to dig her grave.

Jiang Yueyao felt reconciled in her heart. Back then, Gu Jingchan and Zhan Luanxi had the same status as the three of them. Since she was more senior than the two of them, she had to be promoted first.But look at the two of them, now one is a noble concubine, bestowed with the title of "Huang".Is this affordable for ordinary people?This is not telling everyone blatantly that she is the future queen.Gu Jingchan's favorite, she can't even compare with her.But what about Zhan Luanxi?Also because of Gu Jingchan's rising tide, maybe she will be able to promote Zhan Luanxi as a noble concubine if she becomes Gu Jingchan's empress.How could she bear this tone?

And... Jiang Yueyao's eyes darkened for a while, and her eyes drifted into the main hall.If Zhan Luanxi's promotion can be explained by her high background, what about Dong Chunyuan?Originally thought that her humble status would be like this for the rest of her life, but who would have thought that the emperor would find out about her father's affairs back then, and the inside story would be wronged. After a thorough investigation, the emperor would feel ashamed.Although she is still a noble concubine, she has sat in the main hall.A noble concubine sits in the main hall, but Wanyi herself can only take care of these low-level concubines... Jiang Yueyao was angry.

Chang Qingrao was rather gloating, originally she was very depressed because she had to play tricks on that idle king and insisted on promoting the relationship between mother and child in the main hall and the queen mother, but she had to be relegated to the side hall, after all, her status as Jieyu was not low. , then every year, he can get in front of the Queen Mother to please and receive the reward.

After being sent to the side hall all of a sudden, Chang Qingrao's complexion was as usual, neither happy nor angry, but she couldn't help laughing when she saw Jiang Yueyao with a dark complexion, she glanced at Jin Jieyu and said, "Sister Jin, hey, what about us?" It’s better for these women not to see foreign men. Although our identities are enough, we can’t be regarded as the sister-in-law of the prince’s son-in-law after all. If we should avoid taboos, we must avoid them. That's right, you should be happy."

Yun Ran naturally knew that she was mocking the impatient Jiang Yueyao, she shook her head and said with a coquettish smile: "Look at what sister Chang said, sister, although I come from a small place, I know etiquette after all. This is our duty, why are you so angry?"

Now in this side hall, Jiang Yueyao, Yun Ran, and Chang Qingrao are the highest ranked.Although this Yunran is the youngest, she still has a bit of power in the palace. Gu Jingchan never takes care of palace affairs. A queen has so many things to do, and she is not exhausted by herself. ?Moreover, she will be criticized for not being able to employ people, so Gu Jingchan will naturally find some reliable ones to delegate power with confidence.Although she doesn't trust the concubine Gu Jingchan, she is open-minded. The decree has been issued, and she will be the natural queen three years later, so Mulan will naturally not fight for anything.The contest between her and Mulan was on her son, so... she and Mulan were temporarily friends.As for Zhan Luanxi, Gu Jingchan knew her too well, the emperor would not touch her, she would have no heirs in this life, and so did Yun Ran.

Although Yunran doesn't have much power, she still has power in her hands, and she is loved.None of the servants dared to neglect her, even sitting in this side hall, the servants looked at her much more pleasingly than Jiang Yueyao.Chu Mingyou felt a little pity for her, a little love for her, and mostly compensation.

Originally, Yunran really didn't want to participate in anything at this time. She was labeled a quasi-queen party, and it was safest to keep aloof from the world.But some people just don't want her to be safe.

Chang Qingrao raised her long and narrow phoenix eyes, glanced at Jiang Yueyao, who was still full of resentment and dissatisfaction, and smiled at the concubines present: "We concubines need our duties, and Your Majesty likes stability the most. It's all about Jun'en. If there is any dissatisfaction, how can it be easy to show it on your face. If someone with a heart sees this, not only will you be punished, but you will also implicate others. Sisters, such people should ignore her and stay away from her. Yes, so as not to cause a fire at the city gate and damage the fish in the pond."

The concubines here are not stupid, and most of them survived, so they can be picked.Now hearing what Chang Qingrao said, all eyes were on Jiang Yueyao, seeing Jiang Yueyao's dissatisfied expression, they all spit secretly.Heart said: I don't even look at her now, if you want to be petted or not, if you want to be pretty, you don't have good looks, even if you have an heir, it's good.Nothing, what's the use of having a mother's backstage?Can it be eaten as a meal?Don't even look at how low-key Gu and Zhan are?Although it is a state title, but look at what you have done all these years?Sure enough, there are everyone in the family!
Jiang Yueyao could also see that the concubines also disliked her, and after hearing Chang Qingrao's words just now, their dissatisfaction with her was on the surface.Jiang Yueyao used to be high-minded, so she didn't bother to do these things.But now?Ever since she seduced the emperor under the moon, she put down her body, twisted herself for the emperor, for the family, and for her own pampering. Change, but intensified.This Chang Qingrao insulted her so blatantly, with a gun and a stick, how could she swallow this breath?

She had the highest status in this side hall, so she immediately put on airs, looked at Chang Qingrao who was still pursing her lips and raised her phoenix eyes, and said: "Sister Chang, what you said sounds like you are criticizing Ben Wanyi? Even if I am no longer welcomed by His Majesty the Empress Dowager, I am still His Majesty's Empress Wanyi, you are just a mere Jieyu, you are not the one who flaunts your power and accuses me in front of Ben Wanyi, you are really very courageous!"

"Sister Wanyi has misunderstood you! The concubine didn't say anything, but just expressed her inner feelings. The status of the concubine is indeed not as noble as that of the elder sister. Sister, you are the empress of Wanyi, and the concubine is only a little Jieyu How dare you offend me? All these sisters have testified to this concubine, but I have never said or done anything!" Chang Qingrao laughed, she knew that Jiang Yueyao would definitely question herself based on Jiang Yueyao's temper. , she is not afraid.Originally, what she said was the truth, if there was a disturbance, it would be fine, so what are you afraid of?Anyway, there is this Jiang Yueyao top tank!

Yun Ran smiled, she was not afraid of Jiang Yueyao, she stood up and gave Jiang Yueyao a half bow with a smile: "Look at what Madam Wanyi said, we are all sisters in the harem and serve His Majesty, so why not?" Who are you going to be disrespectful to? Who doesn't know that our Majesty likes well-behaved women? This elder sister Chang is a straightforward person, and she has no bad intentions when she speaks. See if you were misunderstood by Jing Wanyi?"

Jiang Yueyao was very angry when she heard someone interrupted, how could she be interrupted by someone else who reprimanded the inferior concubine with a Wanyi?But it happened to be Yunran, this Yunran had Gu Jingchan's label on her body, who didn't know that she and Gu Jingchan were on good terms?Moreover, His Majesty dotes on her, her doting is the strongest so far, it is not good to offend her.I was able to reprimand Chang Qingrao because she didn't have a title, so she was a bit lower than Yun Ran, and Yun Ran...Jiang Yueyao had to swallow this breath.

Li Shurong beside Yunran also echoed: "Yes, this is a New Year's feast, and it's rare for the harem sisters to get together to have a reunion meal, but it's not good to hurt the kindness, Jing Wanyi is virtuous and magnanimous, Don't be so fussy with my concubine, we are all serving His Majesty, aren't we?"

Jiang Yueyao immediately became angry, she glared at Li Shurong, her anger grew, she stepped forward and slapped her across the face.After all, Jiang Yueyao has practiced martial arts, and her hand strength is much stronger than that of ordinary women. How can this slap be tolerated by Li Shurong, who is born in the south and is delicate and thin?After being slapped, Li Shurong fell directly to the ground, her face turning pale.

When the concubines saw this, they panicked, looking at this appearance, they were probably seriously injured, their faces turned pale.

Ru Cao looked like a concubine from the outside, and when she saw Li Shurong's appearance, Ru Cao walked out from behind the crowd, knelt down to check Li Shurong's pulse, and then said calmly, "Go to the main hall and inform the queen mother and the imperial concubine, come, Carrying Li Shurong to the couch hurt the fetus."

At first, the Jieyus were relieved to see Rucao there. After all, this Rucao was born as a medical girl, so it shouldn't be a big problem if she was there.But when they heard that Li Shurong had injured her fetus, they all became gnashing of teeth. This Jiang Yueyao had to sue her properly in a while.

Ru Cao frowned tightly, looking at the panicked Jiang Yueyao with slight disdain in her eyes.This Jing Wanyi is getting more and more brainless. She was really a master in the past, but now?Hmph, Li Shurong's words are not wrong at all, and she is slightly biased towards her, and this is obviously to smooth things over, but it is a pity to suffer such an indiscriminate disaster.

But... her tires are really slippery!It stands to reason that if you don't fall, you should immediately find out the reason for the slippery tire!Ru Cao couldn't figure out the reason for this, but when she saw the smile on the corner of Chang Qingrao's mouth, she felt extremely sinister, but she had doubts in her heart.

The Queen Mother and Gu Jingchan became angry when they found out about this. The Queen Mother likes to be lively the most.I hate Jiang Yueyao more and more. You said that you are a concubine who is honest and stays in the palace, isn't it over?As soon as the meal is eaten, this year will pass, but... hey, if she hadn't watched it all today, she would have to be shot!
Gu Jingchan couldn't feel where she was going, she had an inexplicable urge to drag Jiang Yueyao to tie the villain.Is it easy for her to organize a New Year's banquet?This is because someone deliberately wants to make things difficult for him, Jiang Yueyao... Chang Qingrao, who was the first to pick things up, is not a good person, she deserves to die!

When she and the queen mother got up to go to the side hall, Mulan curled his lips and said softly to her: "Chang Qingrao, examine her carefully, and ask Rucao to help."

Gu Jingchan looked back at Mulan, feeling puzzled, and entered the inner hall with the Queen Mother without thinking much.

This Li Shurong is a poor person, she slipped her tire when she fell to the ground, it really made people think it was her body problem.Jiang Yueyao was reprimanded and sent back to the Qiulin Palace. In name, she was said to be exhausted, but in fact she was grounded, and someone was sent to watch over her.

Chang Qingrao was escorted back to Chunxi Hall by the Empress Dowager to wait for punishment because she caused this incident.The other concubines did not settle well either, and all were fined for half a year as a warning.

But Rucao felt more and more wrong, so she asked the imperial doctor directly, "Doctor Chen, this Li Shurong didn't lose a lot of money, how could she have a miscarriage after a fall? Do you need to check carefully, whether food and drinking The problem?"

After listening to Ru Cao's words, Gu Jingchan raised her eyebrows, recalled Concubine De's words just now, she rolled her eyes and said, "Yes, imperial doctor, you have to investigate carefully."

The imperial doctor felt very distressed, so he checked the pulse again, and said anxiously: "This... Li Shurong ate peach pollen into her stomach, so... that's why she was weak, and that's why she had a miscarriage."

Peach pollen?When mentioning the peach blossom powder, Gu Jingchan's eyes flickered. At the beginning, Hao'er was almost lost by the peach blossom powder, but now it is the peach blossom powder again?

"You doctor, go and carefully check the food of every concubine, and check whether everyone has eaten it." Gu Jingchan was angry, it is really terrible to use this kind of food to harm people.Things like peach blossoms cannot be prevented.

However, the results of the investigation were disappointing. There was no peach pollen in any food or tea, but if there was no peach pollen in the food utensils, where did the peach pollen come from?

Yun Ran was very thoughtful, and she was sitting next to Li Shurong, she thought for a while and said, "Check Li Shurong's handkerchief, when she was sitting next to me, I remember she had a habit of holding food with a handkerchief, If this is the case, then... just check the handkerchief to see if there is any problem."

Sure enough, peach pollen was found in Li Shurong's handkerchief, and the dose was not small. The whole handkerchief was soaked in peach pollen, and the smell of peach blossom was found when it was taken close.The concubine's handkerchief is not something ordinary people can touch, so the object of suspicion is placed on the inner ghost.

Thinking of what Concubine De said, Gu Jingchan raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, so it is so!This Mulan must know something, Chang Qingrao... this Chang Qingrao is Li Shurong's neighbor, so...

"Mother, for this year's banquet, let's take these slaves down and take good care of them. This thing is dead, but people can't die anymore." Gu Jingchan said softly to the queen mother, although she has Mu Lan In a word, it also occurred to me that Chang Qingrao might have done it, but there was no evidence, and after she gradually got evidence, she was tossing Chang Qingrao away.

The queen mother hummed lightly, looked at the other concubines, and couldn't help sighing, none of them were worry-free.So it followed Gu Jingchan's approach.

What Gu Jingchan wanted to do was to invite Jun into the urn. The incident that happened at this year's banquet was already enough to worry her, but it happened at night.
