In Yongxin Palace, Concubine Rong became very angry when she learned that the British concubine was not dead and was sent back to the Qin residence by the emperor himself.
Jin Mei's face was full of worry and anxiety at this moment: "Your Majesty, the Ying Concubine is not dead. The emperor has ordered a strict investigation into the assassination of the Ying Concubine. With Eunuch Sun's ability, we will soon be found to have done it. Then the Emperor will blame us. You..." At this point, Jin Mei's eyes were full of horror.
Concubine Rong was not worried at all, her expression was very calm.
"If I were afraid, I wouldn't do this."
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that the Emperor will be angry?" Jin Mei strongly opposed Concubine Rong to send people to assassinate Concubine Ying, but Concubine Rong insisted on putting Concubine Ying to death.
Concubine Rong suddenly raised her lips and smiled brightly: "Don't be afraid, I believe my cousin will not be angry with me."
Jin Mei looked at Concubine Rong like this and felt inexplicably scared.
"Your Majesty, that is the imperial concubine who is deeply loved by the Emperor."
When Concubine Rong heard what Jin Mei said, her face turned very cold for a moment, and her tone became sinister: "She is just a substitute."
Jin Mei shrank at Concubine Rong's cold eyes. She suppressed her fear and said, "But the emperor loves her..."
Before she could finish her words, Concubine Rong's cold eyes made her heart tremble, and she was so frightened that she did not dare to say any more.
Concubine Rong looked at Jin Mei sadly: "Do you think she will be more favored than me?"
Jin Mei quickly shook her head and said: "No, absolutely not. Your Majesty, you are the Emperor's most beloved woman, and no one can compare with you."
After hearing this, Concubine Rong's face instantly returned to normal, and her whole body exuded a bright light.
"No one can compare to me."
Jin Mei didn't dare to say anything more and stood quietly aside, but her heart was uneasy.
Concubine Rong wore exquisite makeup and gorgeous clothes, quietly waiting for the emperor to send someone to call her over.
"I am just waiting for my cousin to send Sun Kui to invite you."
In the imperial study room of Chengguang Hall, Sun Kui was reporting to the emperor the truth about the assassination of the British concubine.
After Sun Kui finished his report, he saw that the emperor's expression was cold and showed no emotion or anger at all. His scalp was numb with fear and his heart was chilled. He subconsciously stood aside and breathed softly.
For this result, the emperor was not surprised at all.
Sun Kui stood aside and saw that the emperor remained silent, so he cautiously called out: "Your Majesty?"
The emperor raised his eyes to look at Sun Kui and said calmly: "Huh?"
Sun Kui couldn't figure out the emperor's attitude for a while, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
The emperor said indifferently: "Nothing can be done."
After hearing what the emperor said, Sun Kui understood what it meant and stopped talking.
After a while, the emperor said: "It is proposed to designate the British concubine as the British concubine."
"Ah?" Sun Kui looked shocked, "Feng Yingfei?"
"Yes, Concubine Feng Ying." The emperor said calmly, "Changle Palace has been re-arranged."
Sun Kui suppressed his alarm and said in a respectful tone: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Concubine Rong did not wait for Sun Kui to invite her in Yongxin Palace. Instead, she waited for the decree of the Ying Concubine to be promoted to the Ying Concubine.
In Zhaoyang Palace, Queen Xie learned about this decree. She couldn't believe it at first, then she felt strong jealousy in her heart, and then she burst out laughing.
Jiang Chuan, who was waiting by the side, saw Queen Xie's face turning green, red and white, and was about to comfort her, but she suddenly burst into laughter.
Queen Xie laughed so hard that her flowers trembled. This was the first time Jiang Chuan saw Queen Xie smiling so happily.
"Empress, what's wrong with you?" The imperial concubine was suddenly named the imperial concubine. Why did the empress smile so happily?
Queen Xie burst into tears as she laughed: "It's so funny, so funny, hahahahaha..."
Jiang Chuan looked confused and had no idea what Queen Xie was laughing about.
What's so funny?
Queen Xie laughed so hard that her stomach hurt, and she covered her stomach with both hands.
She laughed for a long time before she stopped.
"It's really funny." Queen Xie took a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I have never seen such a funny joke before."
"A joke?" Jiang Chuan didn't listen to Queen Bai Xie's words at all.
"I haven't laughed so happily for a long time." Empress Xie said with a joyful smile, "Today is the happiest day since I entered the palace."
"Empress, you were obviously very angry just now, why are you so happy again?" Jiang Chuan asked cautiously, "Do you mind if the concubine is promoted to concubine?"
"I don't mind, not at all." Empress Xie said with a smile, "The emperor was really right to designate Yingconcubine as Yingfei."
"Don't you think the Emperor is too promiscuous?" The Empress became very strange today. Normally, she would have felt that it was wrong for the Emperor to suddenly promote a concubine to a concubine.
"Don't you know, the emperor is slapping Concubine Rong in the face by naming Concubine Ying as Concubine Ying." Empress Xie said with a smile on her face, "Concubine Rong sent an assassin to kill Concubine Ying, but the emperor immediately designated Concubine Ying as Concubine Ying. , isn’t this a slap in Concubine Rong’s face?”
Jiang Chuang finally reacted. Immediately, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "So, the emperor has found out that the person behind the assassination of Concubine Ying was Concubine Rong."
"Otherwise, why would the emperor suddenly issue a decree to promote the imperial concubine to the imperial concubine?" Empress Xie felt even happier when she thought that Concubine Rong was furious in Yongxin Palace, "Concubine Rong's face was swollen by the emperor."
"Your Majesty, why doesn't the Emperor punish Concubine Rong directly? After all, Concubine Rong sent someone to assassinate Concubine Ying?"
"Compared with directly punishing Concubine Rong, promoting Concubine Rong to Concubine Ying will be more humiliating." Empress Xie said with a smile, "I really didn't expect the emperor to be so cruel. The emperor really didn't care about Concubine Rong's face this time. ah."
"The thing that Concubine Rong has always been most proud of is the emperor's favor for her. She has always believed that she is the emperor's favorite woman. She blatantly sent people to assassinate Concubine Ying this time because she thought the emperor would not blame her. Isn’t it just that she feels that no one is more important to the emperor than her. But, now..."
At this point, Queen Xie laughed again, but not as loudly as before.
"In the emperor's heart, Concubine Rong is not that important. The emperor knew that he had wronged Concubine Ying and directly promoted her to concubine. When she enters the palace, she will definitely take away Concubine Rong's favor. If Concubine Ying's life is good, she will be a concubine soon. If she is pregnant with a dragon, she might be promoted to a noble concubine. By then, Concubine Rong will have completely fallen out of favor. Do you think I should be happy?"
"You should be happy." Jiang Chuan sighed, "I really didn't expect that the emperor would do this."
"The emperor's move is more severe than punishing Concubine Rong directly." Empress Xie said with a smile, "It seems that the emperor is really angry with Concubine Rong this time."
"Concubine Rong directly sent people to assassinate Concubine Ying. How could the emperor not be angry?" Jiang Chuan said, "I have said before that Concubine Rong will definitely anger the emperor this time. You still don't believe it."
"I also thought that Concubine Rong was very important in Your Majesty's heart. Now it seems that I was wrong. I have been deceived by that bitch Concubine Rong for so many years." Queen Xie said, narrowing her eyes slightly, and there was a hint of faintness in her eyes. Mang, "However, it can be seen from this that the emperor loves Concubine Ying very much."
"My dear, Concubine Ying is easier to deal with than Concubine Rong. After all, Concubine Ying has no heirs, but Concubine Rong can still rely on the acting king."
Queen Xie understood what she meant. She nodded and said, "I finally understand why my brother arranged for Qin Xiulian to get close to the emperor."
"Empress, it seems that Concubine Ying is most likely to defeat Concubine Rong."
"I didn't expect that the emperor loves Si Youying so much, and even dotes on her substitute so much." Queen Xie said, with deep jealousy in her heart. "The person the emperor loves most deep down in his heart is Si Youying, not Concubine Rong who grew up with him."
"It seems so."
"Fortunately, Si Youying is dead, otherwise..." If Si Youying had lived, there might not have been Concubine Rong, or she might not have been the queen.
"Mother, what should we do next?"
"You personally bring some rewards to Qin's house and say something to Concubine Ying." Empress Xie waved to Jiang Chuan, and Jiang Chuan walked to her side.
Queen Xie whispered something into her ear.
After Jiang Chuan heard this, he hurriedly prepared the gifts for the British concubine, and immediately left the palace to Qin's house.
On Jiang Chuan's way out of the palace, she met Concubine Rong who was heading to the imperial study.
Concubine Rong was seen heading to the imperial study angrily. She really wanted to go watch the show, but she had to go out to the palace to see Concubine Ying.
When Sun Doudou, who was guarding the door of the Royal Study Room, saw Concubine Rong coming, his heart sank slightly, and then he saluted with a smile on his face: "I've seen Concubine Rong..."
Before he could finish his words, Concubine Rong pushed him away, and then he saw Concubine Rong walking directly into the imperial study.
Sun Kui saw Concubine Rong entering the royal study directly without going through the communication. He hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, but was pushed away by Concubine Rong.
"The royal concubine..."
The emperor glanced at Sun Kui, who immediately understood and withdrew respectfully.
When Concubine Rong saw the emperor, her eyes immediately turned red with tears in her eyes, her expression aggrieved.
The emperor saw her angry and aggrieved look and did not react. Normally, he would have asked her what was wrong with her distress and concern.
Seeing the emperor looking at her calmly without saying a word, Concubine Rong felt even more aggrieved. The tears in his eyes could no longer hold back and fell from the corners of his eyes.
"Your Majesty..." This "Emperor" was full of grievance.
The emperor said calmly: "You sent someone to assassinate the British concubine. Are you still aggrieved?"
"Your Majesty, she is not Si Youying, she is not!"
"So, you sent someone to assassinate her?" The emperor looked at Concubine Rong expressionlessly, "She is my concubine!"
Concubine Rong looked at the emperor and shed tears silently. She looked very sad.
"emperor……"
"Who gave you the courage to send people to assassinate my concubines?" The emperor's tone suddenly became very cold, "Do I usually love you too much, making you become so lawless?"
Concubine Rong couldn't believe that the emperor would say these words to her, "Your Majesty..."
"I'm still busy, let's go out!"
"emperor……"
The emperor said with a straight face: "Get out!"
Sun Kui walked in and "invited" Concubine Rong out respectfully.
When Queen Xie learned that Concubine Rong went to the imperial study to find the emperor, but was kicked out by the emperor, she laughed again and felt a stomachache.
Zhao Yao and Liang Zhaoyi are not concerned about the feud between Concubine Rong and Concubine Ying for the time being.
After Zhao Yao was brought back to the palace by the emperor, he complained to Liang Zhaoyi about the emperor stealing food from him at Baiheguan. He also told Liang Zhaoyi that he was almost killed by the assassin who assassinated Qin Xiulian. Fortunately, a secret guard appeared and saved her.
He asked Liang Zhaoyi if he had known for a long time that the emperor sent secret guards to protect him.
Liang Zhaoyi did not hide anything and told Zhao Yao truthfully that the emperor had been sending secret guards to protect him, otherwise she would not trust him to leave the palace alone.
Zhao Yao wisely did not ask the emperor why he sent secret guards to protect him. Today, he figured out some things.
Liang Zhaoyi originally thought that Zhao Yao would ask why, but she didn't expect that Zhao Yao had nothing and pretended not to know anything.
Zhao Yao didn't say anything more about Baiheguan. When he saw Liang Zhaoyi painting peach blossoms, he remembered the birthmark on Dingyuan's back.
"Mother, do you know who has birthmarks like peach blossoms on their bodies?"
"Peach blossom?" Liang Zhaoyi asked in surprise, "You mean a birthmark that looks like a peach blossom?"
"Yes, I remember I saw it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a moment. Have you seen my concubine?"
"Concubine Pei from the previous dynasty had Peach Blossom's birthmark on her body."
"What, Concubine Pei?" Zhao Yao exclaimed, "Then Dingyuan is the Pei family?"
Sorry, the second update is late.
Lao Tie said that the pace was too slow, and that the plot was a bit bland and seemed a bit watery.
I will pay attention to the subsequent plot. However, I want to have more father-son relationship between Emperor Zhou Wu and him before the male protagonist grows up, and I also want to have more heart-warming plot before he grows up.
The pace of the following plot will not be slow, and the fight for the heir will be fully launched. The plot of the male protagonist’s struggle to seize the rightful son before he grows up and goes to the fiefdom is very important.
But before the male protagonist grows up, there are still some things that need to be explained.
Finally, I still ask for a monthly ticket! Please give me a reward! Please leave a message!
