At night, Zhaochen Palace is brightly lit.
The imperial concubine was dressed in luxurious clothes and reclining on the couch. Listening to Liu Qingxi reporting everything about the palace, her eyes were as cold as frost: "She is really so tough?"
Not only did she dare to humiliate the fifth princess in public, but she also completely ignored the people she arranged to go there with.
"Mother Concubine, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Rong Jinyue, who was sitting aside, said impatiently, as if to prove that she was not lying, "Princess Zhan is so majestic. She not only asked her father to impeach Brother Nine Emperors, but also did so in public. To embarrass me, the princess, and threaten to send me away for marriage... She really doesn't know how much she weighs, thinking that a crow will become a phoenix when it flies on a branch."
Liu Qingxi knelt on the ground: "I am incompetent and could not see the prince's face. Please forgive me."
Concubine Gu said coldly: "It is indeed incompetent."
Liu Qingxi's face turned pale, she raised her hand and slapped her twice, then knelt on the ground in fear: "Please calm down, my queen."
"Today King Chen went to the palace of the Vice Minister." Concubine Gu closed her eyes slightly, her bright and charming eyebrows filled with coldness, "He said that Princess Zhan promised to let Chu Yunjiao enter the palace as his concubine, and a sedan chair would carry her into the palace tomorrow. , but Chu Yunjiao is injured and may need to rest at home for two days."
Liu Qingxi hurriedly said: "Whatever your Majesty's orders are, I will definitely take care of them and never let you down again."
The imperial concubine closed her eyes and meditated, her eyebrows seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
Everyone in the palace was as silent as a cicada, with their eyebrows lowered in silence. Even Rong Jinyue did not dare to speak at will.
As time passed, Liu Qingxi's face became paler and paler, but she knelt and did not dare to move. A thin layer of cold sweat gradually formed on her forehead.
"There are two things you must do." Concubine Gu's voice sounded coldly, as if she was carrying a death threat. "The first is to personally serve the decoction to the King of War, and the second is to allow Chu Yunjiao to enter the palace smoothly tomorrow and have the opportunity to do so. Get close to Rong Cang."
Liu Qingxi didn't dare to argue and quickly agreed: "Yes."
"Chu Yunjiao is indeed injured, but I am worried about the long nights and many dreams." Concubine Gu raised her eyes and glanced at her, "So Chu Yunjiao must appear at Prince Zhan's Mansion tomorrow. Do you understand?"
"yes."
"Go down."
As these words fell, Liu Qingxi felt relieved and quickly resigned and left.
Concubine Gu slowly sat up from the couch. The maid next to her quickly handed over a cup of hot tea. She took the tea with her delicate white jade hands. She snorted coldly: "I really want to know where the daughter of a third-rank minister came from. So brave?"
Although Chu Yuanzhong was the person she supported, it still couldn't change the fact that he was just a minister of household affairs.
Compared with Princess Chen, the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's palace, Chu Yunfei's parentage was completely indisputable. If it weren't for the fact that she was Chu Yuanzhong's daughter, she would never have agreed to let her marry Rong Cang.
But that's not important.
What's important is that Chu Yunfei dares to go against her mother-in-law. Is she really not afraid of death, or does she think that her identity as Princess Zhan is her talisman?
"Don't take it to heart, your Majesty." The nanny walked over and pinched her shoulders and neck carefully, "The more impulsive and impetuous Princess Zhan is, the better she can handle it. On the contrary, those who are calm and calm when things happen, always do things Only those who are watertight need to spend more effort to deal with them.”
Concubine Gu closed her eyes and said nothing, seeming to be thinking about her words.
"What's more, the King of War is resting in bed now and still needs the princess to take care of him. If the empress embarrasses her at this time, it will make other empresses in the palace laugh. They say that the empress is focusing on dealing with her daughter-in-law."
"Presumptuous." Concubine Gu was displeased, "How did you say that?"
"Old slave deserves to die." Mother Ji quickly confessed and slapped herself in the face, "Old slave is speaking from the bottom of her heart. The King of War is already under control. The empress should think more about it now. How to win over people's hearts for His Highness King Chen is the business."
Rong Jinyue nodded repeatedly: "Mother Ji is right. There is no need for the concubine to be angry with a woman who doesn't know the heights of the world. The worst she can do is call her into the palace and have her punished. She will be punished by kneeling for two or three hours. I know my identity.”
"You have the nerve to say that." Gu Guifei looked at her coldly, "It's really embarrassing for the noble princess to be kicked out of the house."
Rong Jinyue's face changed slightly, and she quickly held her arm and begged for mercy: "Mom, please calm down, concubine. Who knew that Chu Yunfei was so tough today as if she had taken the wrong medicine? My son went to the palace to fight without being prepared, so he took him with him She has a few guards, but there are so many people in the palace. If I confront her head-on, isn't it obvious that I will suffer a loss?"
"Does she really dare to use force against you?"
"Who knows if she dares?" Rong Jinyue looked grim, "Anyway, the face I lost today in Prince Zhan's Mansion must be regained twice as much in the future."
She wanted Chu Yuanfei to kneel in front of her and cry and beg for mercy, so that she would regret being disrespectful to her today.
Concubine Gu was silent for a moment and then said calmly: "Chu Yunfei has really changed a lot from the past?"
"They are completely different." Rong Jinyue nodded, "I guess he was stimulated by the divorce letter."
"A letter of divorce?"
"Well, it seems that the emperor's brother gave her a divorce letter early in the morning, but Chu Yunfei refused to accept it, saying that the marriage was arranged in front of his father and was included in the royal family's genealogy. The emperor's brother had no right to divorce her." After Rong Jinyue finished speaking, she gritted her teeth and added, "I also heard that Chu Yunfei slapped Brother Nine Emperors twice in anger. He was so audacious!"
Concubine Gu's face froze: "You slapped Rong Cang twice?"
"yes."
"It's like taking the heart of a bear but the courage of a leopard." Concubine Gu narrowed her eyes coldly, "Do you think she refused to accept the divorce letter because she couldn't let go of her status as Princess Zhan, or because she couldn't let go of King Zhan?"
"They should all be there." Rong Jinyue curled her lips with a bit of disdain, "If a little servant's daughter is abandoned, she will never be able to live in this life. The spitting stars in the rich and powerful family can drown her. die."
Concubine Gu said nothing, secretly guessing that this was the real reason.
Chu Yunfei didn't want to be abandoned, because being abandoned meant that she couldn't continue to live and would become everyone's laughing stock.
So she did not hesitate to force her father to impeach her in front of the emperor. Even if she turned against Rong Cang, she had to keep her status as Princess Zhan.
Concubine Gu narrowed her eyes to hide the cold light in her eyes. Chu Yunfei was a different kind, but if she couldn't be used by herself, there was no need to live in the world.
"Concubine, I will go to the Prince's Mansion with Liu Qingxi tomorrow." Rong Jinyue leaned next to her and spoke softly, "I'll call the Sixth Emperor's Wife together to see how tough Chu Yunfei can be."
Concubine Gu thought for a moment and shook her head slowly: "You don't have to rush to the Prince's Palace tomorrow. Let Chu Yunjiao go make trouble on his own."
Rong Jinyue frowned: "She is just a little concubine, how can she be Chu Yunfei's opponent?"
