Jingren Palace
The queen couldn't sit still. Ever since she heard the smell of musk from Sui Yuxuan's jar, she had been deeply worried.
If what she did were known to outsiders, even if the Queen Mother could keep her position, she would only be a queen in name only.
The virtuousness she had pretended to do over the years was not only due to Concubine Hua's suppression, but also mostly to make the emperor consider her benefits.
She and the emperor have been married for many years and cannot have conflicts because of these things.
The Queen ordered with a solemn expression, "Jianqiu."
"My slave is here."
"Have someone quietly check the flower bed in Broken Yuxuan to see if that thing is still there."
Jian Qiu was startled when he heard this, "Is your Majesty worried about being discovered? But Wan Changzai has already moved in, so when I go to check, I'm worried that it will attract attention."
Seeing that the queen was noncommittal, Jianqiu continued, "Besides, the thing was buried tightly, and many sweet-scented osmanthus flowers were moved to cover it. Who would have thought that there was something buried under the flower bed for no reason."
The queen said, "That's true, but I'm still very upset."
"It's better to have someone take a look. If it's still there, let someone deal with it quietly. If it's not there, Wan Chang Zai may be sick because of more than just seeing Fuzi's body."
Fang Gui had a miscarriage, and the jar of musk contributed most to her miscarriage. Everyone, including Fang Guiren herself, thought it was Concubine Hua who did it.
Therefore, after Fang Guiren entered the cold palace, the queen did not get rid of this thing, just for future consideration.
Jian Qiu said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this. Even if someone does discover it, they will only think it was Concubine Hua."
"After all, the empress originally arranged for Wan Changzai to live in Chengqian Palace. It was Concubine Hua who insisted on letting her live in Suiyuxuan, which has nothing to do with the empress."
The queen closed her eyes. It didn't matter at all, but in order to cover up the smell of musk, she had a few osmanthus trees transplanted there.
The so-called superfluous thing is nothing more than this.
"The soil has been disturbed when the golden osmanthus was transplanted, and it is no longer irrelevant to me."
"If you want to nip it in the bud, there are other ways. I have plenty of time to prepare for it."
It was rare for the queen to be so serious. Jianqiu felt that the hidden danger was nothing.
It’s not like there haven’t been games that were more superficial than this one before. After all, the Queen is not born to harm others. The skills I have today are all due to years of training.
The emperor never doubted any of them, and the queen never worried that the emperor would suspect her.
But this time he was too careful. Jianqiu guessed that maybe it was because Wan Chang Zai looked so much like Queen Chunyuan that the Queen felt so threatened.
"My servant knows this, so I'll tell you to go down and have that thing cleaned up."
"However, Wan Chang only entered the palace in the end. He has no favor and no foundation. There is no need to worry, the empress."
The queen's eyes wandered, looking in the direction of Jian Qiu, but there was no Jian Qiu in her eyes at all.
Sometimes nostalgia, sometimes anger, mixed with deep sadness.
"She has a face like that, which is a solid foundation."
"Wait a minute. The first time I saw her, I knew that she and Concubine Hua could not coexist."
In fact, the queen was so careful not only because she wanted Wan Changzai to get rid of Concubine Hua for her, but also because of the incident that year.
She can attack everyone in the harem. The emperor may be angry if he finds out, but he won't be really angry.
But if the emperor knew about her attack on Wan Changzai, then the sisterly love she showed in front of the emperor would not count.
Once there is doubt, many things cannot withstand scrutiny. It might be revealed at some point, but there are many people who know about it. People such as Jianqiu, Huichun, Xiuxia, and Jiang Fuhai have all participated in it.
She knew very well how she usually treated them. When lives are at stake, it doesn't matter whether one is loyal or not.
Or maybe this matter has been known to others for a long time, such as Cheng Chang...
The more she thought about it, the more the Queen couldn't sit still. If she revealed even a single word, not only would she be in the position of queen, but she might not even be able to save her life.
No, she can't sit still and wait for death!
"Jianqiu makes people pay attention to Chu Xiu Palace, especially sincerity is always there."
"Slave, I obey."
But the Queen then thought about it, if Cheng Chang Zai was like this, he must not be a mortal, and Cheng Chang Zai was always on guard against her, so she couldn't turn against her under such circumstances.
"Wait, please don't. Let our people stay still. Without my instructions, don't listen more than do anything to avoid misunderstanding."
Jianqiu was stunned, "Misunderstanding...misunderstanding?"
When did the Queen need to worry about the opinions of a little Chang Zai?
