Chapter 142 Concubine Liu decides to leave the mother and keep the son
The emperor said in disgust, "If that's the case, then move it to Fanhua Tower, so that I won't be upset when I see it, and it won't cause trouble for others."
The Qianguan girl was promoted by the Queen, so Nangong Xuanyu would not banish her to the cold palace to save the Empress's reputation. But Fanhua Tower was located in the northernmost corner of the Imperial Palace, and it had always been the place where the concubines of Ningshou Palace worshipped Buddha. Living there would be no different from living in the cold palace.
Especially since the emperor also told her not to appear in front of him again in this life, the Qianguan girl really had no hope at all!
Her beautiful face was full of tears, and her body was shaking because of fear and worry about the future. "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again. Please give me another chance! Your Majesty..."
However, the emperor did not even look at her again until she was gagged and dragged away by two eunuchs.
Qian Guannv really didn't understand. After all, she was a concubine before and lived a life of ease and comfort in the harem. Why did she become a concubine who would never be favored again after she surrendered to the Empress?
So what did she rely on?
Shen Zhinian looked at the figure of the Qian official's daughter being dragged away, bit her lip lightly, and said with reluctance: "Your Majesty..."
"All right."
Nangong Xuanyu interrupted her in a gentle voice: "I know you have a kind heart, but Qian deserved this fate. You don't have to plead for her anymore."
Shen Zhinian sighed: "I just feel that it is a pity that Sister Qian is going to die of old age in the palace at such a young age..."
The emperor patted the back of her hand gently and said, "You should know that she has always wanted to pin Chen's death on you. Once you are charged with this crime, your fate will be a hundred times more miserable than hers."
Shen Zhinian lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a shadow on her eyelids, making her look fragile and innocent.
"I know...but I just hope that the harem will be harmonious and not cause Your Majesty any worries, even if I suffer some grievances."
Having said this, she raised her head slightly and looked at the emperor shyly, her charming eyes full of affection.
At this moment, Nangong Xuanyu's heart seemed to be hit hard by something, and he was indescribably moved!
Why is this little girl so kind and sensible? He can never spoil her enough!
Little did they know that the palace concubine who had just joined forces with the official Qian to target Shen Zhinian was now trembling with fear and shrinking in the crowd, fearing that they would be noticed.
Although the daughter of the official Qian had lost the emperor's heart, she was still living in the Xianfu Palace, so she might have a chance to seek a better future.
But after Concubine Rou pleaded for her, she was moved directly to the deserted Fanhua Tower.
Lady Rou, please shut up and stop begging for mercy!
Concubine Xue had a hint of impatience on her cold and distant face. She knelt down and saluted: "Although Your Majesty has punished Qian, if she had not been promoted to a noble lady before, how could she have developed such an arrogant temper? The harem is really getting more and more chaotic. I am not feeling well, so I will take my leave first."
Concubine Zhou snorted coldly, "Empress Xue relies on her father's important position. Your Majesty has been to her palace for two consecutive days. She really doesn't take other people seriously anymore!"
She dared to say this, but the others did not dare to respond. After all, Concubine Zhou was pregnant with the heir to the throne, so no one dared to do anything to her, but it was not certain for them.
Concubine Liang gently tried to smooth things over: "Sister Xuepin has always been straightforward in her words and has no ill intentions."
The emperor glanced at Concubine Liang and Concubine Liu and said, "Although the Queen made a mistake in promoting the Qian family, the Queen is seriously ill and there are things she can't take into consideration. Since Concubine Liang and Concubine Liu are bringing Concubine Rou to help manage the six palaces, from now on, the three of you must clean up the atmosphere in the harem in a timely manner."
The three knelt and said, "We will obey your Majesty's order!"
Concubine Liu's annoyance was swept away, and her mood became relaxed again!
Because the old woman, the Queen, has used the wrong person, with Your Majesty's words, she can legitimately stop the Queen from promoting her pawn!
Concubine Rou is indeed her most powerful ally, and she can accurately strike the Queen's forces every time!
The emperor said to Su Ye, "Continue to track down the murderer who killed Chen Yingying and the eunuch who brought Concubine Rou here. If you have any news, report it immediately."
"Slave, you obey!"
Nangong Xuanyu knew that Shen Zhinian had been wronged today, and wanted to accompany her. But he had already shown enough favoritism to her today, and if he continued, it would hurt her instead.
"I still have government affairs to deal with, so I will return to the Yangxin Palace to review memorials. You all may go away."
Everyone hurriedly bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off!"
After the emperor's procession left, Concubine Liu placed her slender fingers on the back of Cuizhu's hand, and turned and left with the large group of palace servants.
Concubine Zhou glanced at Shen Zhinian, and hurriedly followed, whispering: "My Lady Imperial Concubine, you have also seen today how much His Majesty favors Concubine Rou. With you here, she still dares to flirt with His Majesty like this, I really can't stand it!"
She and Shen Zhinian were in the same camp as Concubine Liu. Even though she was jealous of each other, she did not dare to add insult to injury. However, she would not miss the opportunity to flatter Concubine Liu.
Little did she know that her little thoughts were seen through by Concubine Liu.
She glanced at Concubine Zhou nonchalantly, and said in a cold tone: "Do you think I am a fool? Or now that Chen Ying is dead, have you forgotten what happened to her that day?"
Not long ago, Chen promised to do the same thing in Yongshou Palace, hoping to use Concubine Liu to deal with Shen Zhinian. However, Concubine Liu was angry and was punished by her to kneel in the cold snow for an hour.
Concubine Zhou turned pale: "Your Highness, calm down! I dare not... I am just worried that Concubine Rou will snatch away your Majesty's favor..."
Concubine Liu said coldly: "I don't like people who think too much. Put away your calculations for me and give birth to the heir in your belly!"
She had given birth to the eldest princess, and knew that giving birth was like walking through the gates of hell, which was not easy. She had originally thought that if Concubine Zhou gave birth to a prince and gave him to her to raise, she would ensure that Concubine Zhou would live a wealthy life for the rest of her life.
But Concubine Zhou was too calculating, which made her very unhappy. With such a biological mother, the little prince would inevitably be led astray in the future.
In that case, don't blame her for being cruel and ruthless!
Concubine Zhou didn't know at this time that her little thoughts accumulated time and time again, and Concubine Liu made up her mind to kill the mother and keep the son. She lowered her head and said, "Yes..."
the other side.
"Sister Rou."
Concubine Liang's calm temperament and gentle smile always give people a warm feeling in winter.
"I just proposed to His Majesty that my sister be temporarily confined to her palace to silence the gossips. I hope my sister will not think too much and create a rift between her and me."
In the entire harem, Concubine Liang is the only person Shen Zhinian cannot see through, but this does not affect her careful response: "I naturally understand Concubine Liang's painstaking efforts, so how could I misunderstand?"
