Chapter 218: I came here eagerly
As for Concubine Meng and the heir in her womb, will they be hurt by Queen Jiang's schemes?
Once you enter the harem, you cannot afford to have so much foolish kindness, otherwise you will be the first to die.
Shen Zhinian could only promise that she would not take the initiative to harm other people's children. She was not a Bodhisattva who saved people from suffering. Mengpin and she were enemies, not friends. She had no obligation to worry about her enemy, let alone risk her life to protect her enemy.
She just watched Queen Jiang's actions coldly and did not follow suit to attack Concubine Meng. She has done her best. Don't use the standards of a saint to coerce her.
Concubine Kang nodded and said, "I understand. My people will continue to keep an eye on Yonghe Palace."
……
Changchun Palace.
Ruoli walked in and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please have someone keep an eye on Concubine Meng. As you guessed, the Queen sent Gao Yunhuai to do something in Yonghe Palace..."
There was a barely perceptible chill in Concubine Liang's calm tone: "The Queen is the head of the harem. In the past, if she wanted her subordinates to do something, how could others find out?"
"Ever since she fell ill, her power has been taken away bit by bit. The Kunning Palace is almost turned into a sieve."
Concubine Liang was always kind and honest, and rarely said such harsh words. Ruoli, however, did not find it strange at all, and even echoed, "The Queen deserves what she has suffered today!"
"In addition... I know one more thing. In addition to us, Concubine Kang also sent people to keep an eye on Yonghe Palace."
Both Concubine Liang and Concubine Kang had been serving the emperor since the Qiandi Palace. After Nangong Xuanyu ascended the throne, the two lived in the same palace. She knew Concubine Kang's personality well, and she was not someone who liked to meddle in other people's affairs.
"It seems that Concubine Rou has already known that the person who attacked her was not Concubine Meng, but the Queen..."
Ruoli asked curiously, "My lady, are you saying that Concubine Kang and Concubine Rou are in the same group?"
"On the day of the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, they teamed up to send Liu Ruyan to hell. Can't you see it?"
Ruoli shook her head: "I thought that Concubine Kang just hated Liu for causing her miscarriage, but I didn't expect that she would turn to Concubine Rou."
"Then... do we need to make public what Gao Yunhuai did?"
Liang Fei said gently, "Rou Fei has already found out the real culprit and will definitely not let the Queen go. It is only a matter of time before she brings this matter to His Majesty. Why should we meddle in other people's business and cause trouble for no reason?"
"Order the servants of Yonghe Palace to protect Concubine Meng and make sure that no harm is done to the heir to the throne."
Ruoli said "yes" and bowed, "Your Majesty is really kind-hearted. Apart from you, who else would care so much about the child in Mengpin's belly? I hope she is grateful."
Concubine Liang smiled and said, "Sister Mengpin has been in a state of anxiety all day, which is not good for the health of the heir. You should go and tell her the good news."
"Slave, you obey!"
……
Yonghe Palace.
The emperor gave Concubine Meng a wake-up call when she was at her most proud, which made her wake up.
Thinking back to her recent experiences, Mengpin couldn't help but feel a little scared...
She was obviously a very cautious person. After she knew she was pregnant, she did not dare to let anyone know, not even telling the palace maid who served her personally.
Once she was made a concubine, she enjoyed unprecedented glory and glory, but she was blinded...
Fortunately, it’s not too late for her to wake up now.
Concubine Meng believed that as long as she returned to her previous cautiousness, she would be able to give birth to an imperial heir safely.
If she endures for a few months, she will definitely find an opportunity to pull that bitch Roupin down from her high position!
At this time, Chunying ran in excitedly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Liang asked Ruoli to come and visit you!"
Mengpin was delighted: "Please come in!"
She didn't put the needle in Concubine Rou's shoe at all. It was that bitch who instigated Liu Xu to shamelessly frame her!
But His Majesty was bewitched by Concubine Rou and refused to listen to her explanation. He locked her up without any investigation.
She had nowhere to seek justice, and the only person she could rely on was Sister Liang Fei. Fortunately, Sister Liang Fei did not forget her!
"This servant pays respects to Concubine Meng. May your majesty be blessed with good health!"
Ruoli is the head maid beside Concubine Liang. Some concubines of lower rank have to be polite when they see her, but she is so respectful to herself, which shows that Concubine Liang really cares about her.
Mengpin's eyes softened: "Please stand up quickly!"
"But Sister Liangfei brought good news. Your Majesty is willing to believe in my innocence and let me go?"
Ruoli did not tell Mengpin at this time that Liuxu was not Shen Zhinian's person, and that all these things were done by Queen Jiang behind the scenes. Instead, she smiled and said, "Empress Mengpin, please be patient. Our Empress has always kept your affairs in mind."
"Our queen said that in the next two days, she will find out the whole story and report to His Majesty, so that His Majesty can end your confinement. I hope you can relax and take good care of yourself."
Mengpin nodded with emotion: "I will listen to Sister Liangfei!"
"Every time I was imprisoned, it was only Sister Liangfei who ran around for me..."
To be frank, the Empress is not worthy of her position, which has led to chaos in the harem. If the person sitting on the Phoenix throne was Concubine Liang, with her character, the harem would definitely be peaceful.
Anyway, the imperial physician said that the queen will not live for many months. If Sister Liang Fei can ascend to the throne...
Thinking of this, Concubine Meng felt more respect for Concubine Liang.
Ruoli took her expression into his eyes, bowed and said, "I have delivered my message. If Madam Meng has no other instructions, I will take my leave."
"Go ahead. Please tell Sister Liang Fei that I will always remember her kindness!"
"Yes!"
……
Two more days passed like this.
Ever since she knew that Queen Jiang wanted to get rid of Concubine Meng, Shen Zhinian used her power as the assistant manager of the six palaces to quietly plant an inconspicuous nail into Yonghe Palace.
Ding Zi reported that the people in Kunning Palace were ready to take action today.
Shen Zhinian knew that the time was ripe, and secretly asked Xiao Zhouzi to do something.
Then he asked Yuanbao to get a bowl of stewed bird's nest from the small kitchen and send it to the Yangxin Palace.
The emperor had not seen Shen Zhinian for many days. Instead, he highly praised Jiang Wange and attracted most of the attention to Yawenyuan.
When he saw the bird's nest that Yuanbao sent him, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
After eating the bird's nest, he dealt with government affairs for a while. Looking at the sign brought over by the Jingshifang, Nangong Xuanyu waved his hand, stood up and said, "No need, I'll go see Concubine Rou."
Li Changde waved his whisk and said skillfully: "Go to Zhongcui Palace!"
He hadn't seen her for many days, and actually he had been missing this woman for a long time. But as an emperor, he couldn't express his longing for her.
So, Nangong Xuanyu took Shen Zhinian's hand and sat down by the window, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "Who said that day that I should go to other concubines more often, so that others would not blame you for monopolizing me."
"It's only been a few days, and you're already eagerly trying to seduce me?"
