Chapter 878: Stop the Rumors First (57 Reward Value Plus)

Changchun Palace.

Looking at the things the eunuchs brought over, Ruoli's face was full of joy: "Madam, I have said it before, even if the power of the six palaces falls into the hands of Madam Chen Guifei, so what? Sooner or later, she will have to spit out the things that do not belong to her!"

"The harem, only under your management can it be in order and peaceful."

Concubine Zhuang looked at Ruoli helplessly and said, "I am only temporarily managing on behalf of Concubine Chen."

Ruoli pouted: "My queen, your ability is not inferior to that of the Queen Consort Chen, why should you be inferior to others?"

"It's a pity that this time there is also Empress Xue Fei who has surpassed you."

"When you were one of the four concubines, she was only a concubine, but now she has climbed above you... I feel it's unfair just thinking about it!"

Concubine Zhuang didn't look angry, she just said calmly: "Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor. Whether it's a promotion or a demotion, since it's the will of His Majesty, we should obey it."

Ruoli sighed: "My lady, you are so virtuous and sensible!"

She said that someone as enchanting and charming as Concubine Chen could only be a concubine at best. How could she have the potential to be the mistress of the house or the master of the harem?

A person who is the mother of the country should be as dignified and virtuous as our own queen!

Although Concubine Zhuang did not say anything, her slender fingers stroked the seal that represented the power of the harem, and a barely visible curve appeared at the corner of her lips.

Ruoli looked outside and lowered her voice, "Your Majesty, Concubine Chen is a cunning person. We have waited for her with great difficulty, and now she has fallen so hard. Should we take this opportunity to do something so that she can never get up again?"

Concubine Zhuang just shook her head slightly: "Your Majesty is so concerned about Concubine Chen that he has already ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. If we tamper with it, there is no guarantee that we will not be discovered."

Most importantly, her trust in His Majesty can no longer withstand consumption...

Ruoli was a little unwilling: "Are we just going to watch this?"

Concubine Zhuang sighed, "There are so many people in the harem who want to take advantage of others' misfortunes. Why should I get involved in this mess?"

Ruoli understood instantly.

Yes!

What the palace lacks the least is jealous women.

Even if it's not out of jealousy, there are countless people who want to climb up for the sake of profit. Those who are in high positions will block their way.

How could anyone let go of such a golden opportunity?

Even if Her Majesty does not take action, there will be many people who will take this opportunity to deal with Her Majesty Chen!

The Queen is a kindhearted person, so naturally she would not bother to do such a thing to take advantage of someone's misfortune.

Ruoli blinked, her eyes full of curiosity: "But... Madam, do you think the cracking of the seal was an accident or a human error?"

"Empress Chen has been in the palace for so long, and her promotion speed is faster than an arrow shot from a bow. This is the first time I have seen her fall so hard."

Concubine Zhuang shook her head: "How can there be so many accidents in the world?"

Ruoli said thoughtfully: "I also think that Concubine Chen was harmed by someone. Who do you think has such great ability to do this? Even the ceremony of conferring Concubine Chen was directly cancelled..."

When the news first spread, Concubine Zhuang thought about this issue.

In the palace, the only one who didn't want to see Concubine Chen promoted and had the ability to do so was the Empress Dowager.

But she didn't say it, instead she said: "No matter who it is, this matter has nothing to do with our Changchun Palace anyway."

Ruoli nodded: "Yes."

"However, there are many old and new grudges between you and the Royal Concubine Chen. I wonder if the Royal Concubine Chen will blame us for this incident..."

These words reminded Concubine Zhuang.

Although she did not want to bring trouble upon herself because the emperor no longer trusted her as much as before due to her demotion, there was no guarantee that Concubine Chen would not suspect her.

Concubine Zhuang ordered: "Tell the palace maids in Changchun Palace to be more cautious recently and not to be tricked by outsiders."

Ruolifu bowed and said, "I understand!"

what a pity.

She had originally planned to take this opportunity to spread a wave of rumors to completely nail down Concubine Chen!

But the queen didn't let her do that for the sake of protecting herself.

I hope the ladies and concubines in the harem will not let her down.

……

Just as Shen Zhinian expected, rumors spread in the harem because of what happened during her enthronement ceremony.

Such strange and supernatural things are easy to arouse people's curiosity. In addition, someone deliberately fanned the flames behind the scenes. In a short period of time, the palace had been abuzz with rumors. You could hear people talking about it in many places.

"I originally thought that Concubine Chen managed the harem quite well, but I didn't expect that God was not satisfied with her as a concubine."

"What is Concubine Chen? Didn't you hear the ministers in the court say that she was reincarnated from the demon star?"

"I think that Concubine Chen is usually very nice to the palace maids, so it shouldn't be that bad..."

"Evil spirits are good at disguising themselves. Why else would they do that? As soon as the news of our defeat in the war with the Xiongnu came back, the seal on her coronation box cracked? How could such a coincidence happen in the world? This is clearly a warning from heaven!"

"Yes, I'm afraid that if the evil concubine is not removed, people will be uneasy!"

"No wonder His Majesty doted on Concubine Chen so much in the past. It turns out that he was bewitched by the evildoer!"

"..."

Zhu'er, following Xuanpin's orders, had been paying attention to public opinion in the palace, so she naturally knew about this matter at the first time.

When she reported these things to Concubine Xuan, she felt extremely angry, not to mention Concubine Xuan herself.

"…Your Majesty, it is normal for people in the palace to talk about something like that that happened during the ceremony for conferring the title of Concubine Chen. But the rumors are so outrageous, it is obvious that someone wants to deliberately damage Concubine Chen's reputation!"

Xuanpin's eyes were burning with anger, and she gritted her teeth and asked word by word: "Who is it?!"

Zhu Er came to report after she had investigated the matter thoroughly: "Your Majesty, although people in many places are discussing this, I found that the rumor first spread from the vicinity of Yikun Palace."

Xuanpin frowned fiercely: "The left side hall of Yikun Palace is still empty, only the main hall and the right side hall are occupied. So it is either Wangpin or Chun Guiren?!"

Zhu Er nodded: "I think so too."

"It's a pity that rumors are groundless, and we can't find any evidence that they spread them..."

Xuanpin said with a sullen face: "The more rumors spread in the palace, the more detrimental it will be to the reputation of Concubine Chen and the Fourth Prince. I believe that Wangpin or Concubine Chun saw this clearly, so they dared to act so recklessly."

"Now is not the time to pursue this matter. The important thing is to stop the rumors first!"
