Harem Empress

Chapter 49 Instigation
"It's my blessing to be able to share the worries of the queen's sister, and this kind of blessing is beyond comparison." The concubine Yuan said proudly.

Emperor Jingyang in the palace took a sip of the fine wine on the table, looked at Concubine Yuan's slightly protruding belly with a smile and said with concern: "Concubine Yuan is pregnant and it is very hard work. From now on, I will hand over all the affairs in the palace to you." Concubine Gui, Concubine Xian, and the others come to assist the Empress in management, so you can also concentrate on raising your baby. Oh! By the way, Tu Dehai, pass on my will, Concubine Jin has done a great job in saving you, and I will be named a Concubine Xian from now on."

There was an uproar in the main hall, followed by another voice: "Congratulations, Concubine Xian!" The Concubine Xian in the hall was already happy at this moment, and she looked proudly at Concubine Yuan with a blank face on the opposite side, Concubine Yuan in the hall The smile disappeared immediately, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and his eyes glared at me with a kind smile on his face below. My fake concern removed her right to be the sixth house of assistant, but I think she is the best now. The one with the headache should be the proud Concubine Xian on the opposite side.

Due to the exhaustion of Emperor Jingyang's day, the banquet ended early. It seems that the Queen Mother has not told Emperor Jingyang about Lin Guiren's matter, but according to today's palace maid, Lin Guiren's affair may be a matter There is something strange!
Taxue seemed to see through my thoughts, and said cautiously: "Mother, we must not listen to other people's one-sided words. We still don't know whether that palace maid is an enemy or a friend. Be careful!"

Nodding thoughtfully, he said in a low voice, "Go and call An Guoshun."

After a while, An Guoshun walked in quickly: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

He bowed his head and whispered a few words in An Guoshun's ear, An Guoshun retreated in response, what Taxue said was reasonable, the story of Mrs. Lin has already been spread in the palace, why didn't she stand up and blame Mrs. Lin when the incident happened , I just said it tonight, and looking at the paper money she burned just now, I know that Guard Li is already dead, and what happened tonight may be a trap. Could it be that someone deliberately lured me to this lake? Muddy Water, who offended the Queen Mother, sighed softly, and gently stroked his slightly sore forehead with his hands.

In the early morning of the next day, on the way to Ningfeng Palace and Dingxing, I saw Concubine He. After not seeing her for a few days, Concubine He's complexion became much more rosy. It may be because of the long time, so she quickly walked forward to follow her. Passed over: "My sister's complexion looks much better."

He Guifei turned his head and gave me a gentle smile, and said softly: "Spring is here, you can't even think about it!"

"In front of my sister, my sister doesn't go around in circles. Is it Lin Guiren's business?" said in a low voice.

Concubine Gui was taken aback by my question and said: "Concubine Yuan really caught the handle this time, but I was not there at the time, and Guiren Lin also recognized it."

"She really admitted it." He asked eagerly.

Concubine He nodded heavily, and said: "She confessed to that incident, and the guard also admitted."

Now that I finally understood, I told Concubine He what happened last night from the beginning to the end, and Concubine He showed a serious smile on her face, and said coldly: "Just after you returned to the palace, someone pressed you I can't bear it anymore, you have to be careful!" After finishing speaking, He Guifei patted my hand heavily.

When we arrived at Ningfeng Palace, all the concubines had arrived, and the queen’s coercive voice came from the phoenix seat: “As for Lin Guiren’s affair, I have already checked with Concubine Yuan, and the evidence is true. Lin Guiren broke into the cold palace, and the adulterous guard died!" Then the empress looked at Concubine Yuan with a gentle smile and said, "Sister Concubine Yuan has been working hard in the past few days when I am not here. I have already returned. Now, Sister Yuan Concubine should take good care of her baby, the emperor loves her dearly, and told me not to worry about the tedious affairs in the palace, everything will be discussed after my sister gives birth to an heir smoothly."

The queen's words are really cruel!She gave Concubine Yuan another knife, but Concubine Yuan couldn't say anything, she could only sit there and get angry. Although she had a smile on her face, the silk handkerchief in her hand was almost broken by her.

"Sister Yuan Concubine is so blessed! Elder sister is jealous after hearing that?" Concubine Xian in the palace laughed after finishing speaking.

"My concubine would like to thank the empress and the emperor for their sympathy. The concubine is a little bit powerless to go down first. While I have to help the empress to assist the six palaces, I also have to beware of some villains who have no good intentions. The heir is not good, now with the empress and the emperor's sympathy, the concubines can raise their babies with peace of mind!" Concubine Yuan said, the phoenix eyes glanced at the concubine who was opposite.

"Sister Yuanfei now has the protection of the emperor and the care of the empress, who would dare to do harm to the emperor's heir! I'm afraid that the younger sister will not be able to keep the emperor's heir and rely on others, so it's hard to say." Concubine Xian did not want to be outdone. replied.

"You." Concubine Yuan didn't say any more, Concubine Xian's words were obviously cursing Concubine Yuan to have a miscarriage, and all the concubines present could hear it.Then he sneered and said: "Sister Xianfei has never conceived an emperor's heir, so I don't know the hard work involved. If I experience it one day, I will understand my hard work." Concubine Xian hated people saying she couldn't conceive the most about this matter, but Concubine Yuan dared to humiliate her openly in front of so many people, how could she give up, but now in Ningfeng Palace if she If she got mad, it would be even more difficult for Concubine Yuan to pretend that she was pregnant, so she could only sulking in silence.

"Okay, you two are old people in the palace, so you won't be afraid of your sisters' jokes if you bicker like this!" Under the Queen's scolding, Xian and Yuan ended their war of words. It was a wake-up call for Concubine Xian. She entered the palace for the first year. She took a lot of tonics in the past three years, but she couldn't conceive. There is also a hurry.

In fact, whether or not to have children will not threaten her status at all. If Concubine Yuan gives birth to a child, she will be the legitimate mother of that child, and Concubine Yuan is just a mere biological mother, so the queen can only face it calmly. Facing their fights, I am now the queen, and the most important thing now is to keep my position, and I just sit back and watch their fights openly and secretly.

The queen explained a few more words and went back to the palace separately. Su Ying and I walked out of the gate of Ningfeng Palace together. Su Ying carefully looked around and whispered: "Sister, why didn't you rub the concubine Yuan today?" Sharpness."

I understood what Su Ying was talking about, and pretended to be stupid: "There can only be one protagonist in the play, and I'm watching the play." After speaking, she returned a meaningful smile.

"Actually, Guiren Lin is innocent." Su Ying was still talking there.

"Then why didn't you say it today?" He asked calmly.
