"Sister, don't blame Empress Xian, because everything Xian Empress said is right. Sister, you should listen more."
Although Chu Xin was so comforting, she was still very disappointed. Would her only good sister have to drift away because of such a reason? What had she done wrong?
It's just that she feels that compared to Chu Yi and the imperial concubine, she is really worthless, and everyone knows which side to choose.
Xiangui was really embarrassed to say such hurtful words in front of a little girl who was similar to his own daughter. At this moment, he was really filled with guilt.
"Since Princess Xin'er is here to see you, I won't disturb you here. If you have anything to say, you two can talk to yourselves!"
The noble man could only shake his head helplessly. It was already at this time. If she said something else, it would really hurt her daughter's heart. It was actually a good thing for her daughter to have a good sister.
At least during these days of playing with Chu Xin, the smile on her face really grew a lot more.
Chu Shu held Chu Xin's hand worriedly. In fact, she was very afraid that the words her mother-in-law said just now would really hurt Chu Xin's heart. She also understood the truth.
But how can these cold truths stop this fiery heart?
"It's okay. Falling into the water this time really frightened Lady Xian. She didn't want something like this to happen to you again. It's because of me that you suffered such a crime. I blame myself very much."
Chu Xin also held Chu Shu's hand tightly and said guiltily, of course she would be very happy to be with her good sisters, but Chu Shu's safety was also more important. If her presence brought danger to the other party, she would I would rather disappear by myself.
"No," Chu Shu shook her head. "Actually, if there were no sister, I would still suffer these grievances. Is this the first time Chu Yi has bullied me? This won't be the first time, and it won't be the first time." It’s the last time!”
Chu Shu smiled sarcastically. She understood what her mother and concubine meant. She just felt that this time it was all because of Chu Xin, but was that really the case?
In the past, when Chu Xin stayed in the cold palace, he had already been bullied by Chu Yi. He was still under the influence of his own efforts to please him. Now he just has Chu Xin. Even without her presence, he would still be bullied. What a humiliation!
"That's what you said. My father never pays attention to things in the harem. If he does, he will only pay attention to the concubines. How can we know the grievances we have suffered?"
There was a hint of resentment in Chu Xin's words. In fact, she had a little expectation for this father, but after that night, this expectation disappeared.
At this moment, there was a little bit of hatred in my heart. They were both daughters, so why did they prefer Chu Yi so much?
"With the imperial concubine here, how can we dare to say anything? We can only act like we are peacefully passing through the years, so as not to upset our father!"
Chu Shu led Chu Xin to sit on the chair next to her, poured a cup of tea herself and handed it to her.
In fact, when she was with Chu Yi in the past, she would serve tea and pour water to please her. At that time, she was unwilling at all, but now she is truly willing to pour tea for this sister.
"I heard from my mother that the Ting concubine went crazy after she lost her child." Chu Xin could only find some words to say, and she would make herself angry if she said too many of these things.
"I heard it too," Chu Shu nodded, "It was said that Tingbi couldn't bear such a big blow, and she went crazy and dared to run to her father. As a result, her father had someone send her back and said she would never I don’t want to see her again, the pavilion has become a cold palace!”
Chu Shu felt some sympathy for Ting Concubine. In fact, most of the people in the harem wanted to please the imperial concubine, but it was useless no matter how much she tried to please her. Isn't Ting Concubine a living example at this moment?
"I don't know much about what happened in the past, so I can only ask my sister to tell me everything. I remember that when we were in the cold palace, Empress Tingbin felt sorry for my mother and me because of some things.
At that time, I just felt that I had no grievances against her, so why did she come to the cold palace to embarrass us? Later, I guessed that all this was probably the imperial concubine's intention. "
Thinking of that time when weaving cloud brocade, Chu Xin was still a little angry. At that time, because she suffered from the loss of charcoal fire, she would keep an eye on any good things that were sent to her.
Unexpectedly, the other party had already prepared it. No matter how careful I was, it was of no use. The slap still hit my mother firmly.
"In the past, I vaguely remembered that the pavilion would follow the imperial concubine. She probably did many things for the imperial concubine!"
Chu Shu thought about it carefully. Actually, she didn't need to think about it. She could tell the situation in the harem at a glance.
"Since my father has personally said that he doesn't want to see her again, we don't need to mention it again. After all, it's all his own fault. There have been many bullies following the imperial concubine over the years."
Chu Shu snorted disdainfully. In fact, when she was trying to please Chu Yi in the past, she never saw other princesses behave like this, pretending to be powerful and bullying people with lower status.
"Um."
Chu Xin nodded and took a sip of the tea that was just delivered.
…
"My dearest concubine, I have all visited the concubines. They are indeed crazy!"
Concubine Li said with a flattering smile. In fact, if it wasn't for the noble concubine's intention, she and Concubine Jia would not have wanted to enter that unlucky place.
They are all people that His Majesty has personally said that he does not want to see again. It has become a veritable cold palace. It would be really unlucky for them to go!
"Ting Concubine used to take advantage of her pregnancy to talk nonsense in front of our sisters, and now she deserves this fate!"
Yun Bin also agreed. She even brought Chu Yan over today to play with Chu Yi. Now that Ting Bin was already a useless chess piece, she naturally wanted to show off more in front of the imperial concubine.
"Yes, even His Majesty said personally that he doesn't want to see her again. This will be it for the rest of his life!"
Jia Fei reached out and touched the hair beside her ear. She still remembered that she was so angry that she slapped Ting Bin hard. If Ting Bin was conscious, she would not be able to slap Ting Bin.
But now everyone has gone crazy, so what can a slap do?
"You have done a good job, I am very satisfied," Zheng Yinghuan still sat high and nodded.
After so many years, she has long been accustomed to this. No matter what she wants to do, she just needs to tell her with her mouth, and someone will naturally be able to do it well.
Just like what happened with Ting Bin this time, she never did anything with her own hands. There were many people rushing to help, so even if His Majesty did a thorough investigation in the end, he would not be able to find anything on her.
Not to mention that His Majesty did not pay attention to the affairs in the harem at all, nor did he pay attention to a childless woman like Ting Bin, so when the murderer pointed to Xie Churou, he naturally closed the case.
"But no matter what if she is crazy, her presence is still an eyesore to me. The way she pretended to be in front of me with her bulging belly is still vivid in my mind. I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. You guys think How should this be”
Zheng Yinghuan reached out to the seat next to her, rested her chin on her hand, and stared at everyone below carefully.
In fact, it can be seen that the people below are not sincerely surrendering, and all of them have evil intentions. But precisely because she can see clearly, she will not give real benefits to others.
At most, it will make their lives a little easier, but if they want to climb to a higher position, don't even think about it.
"What do you mean, empress?"
Concubine Li didn't dare to think, could it be that now that the concubines have reached this point, the imperial concubine still wants to kill them all? Isn't this too cruel?
In fact, it is indeed very pitiful for Ting Bin to be in the situation she is in today. Not only is the child she cherishes so much gone, she will not even be able to have children in her lifetime, will never be favored again, and will never be able to have her own confidence.
It was precisely because of such a heavy blow that the Ting concubine went crazy. I thought that the imperial concubine's anger would be gone, but she didn't expect...
Concubine Jia and Concubine Yun looked at each other, and both saw a hint of panic in each other's eyes. The concubine was really getting more and more ruthless in her actions now. The concubine Ting had already reached this point, and she actually wanted to kill them all.
"Are you afraid?" Zheng Yinghuan smiled disdainfully, "When she dared to be proud in front of me, she should have expected this end. Don't blame me for being cruel. I only blame myself for being so cruel. Too ignorant!"
Zheng Yinghuan couldn't even swallow the way he swallowed his anger in front of the Queen Mother.
Originally, these years of running the harem were smooth and trouble-free, and she was used to being aloof, but she could only bow her head in front of the Queen Mother. Why should she endure such humiliation?
Yes, Ting Bin is indeed miserable now, but it is not enough, it is still not enough. She still feels upset. She just wants Ting Bin to disappear completely from this world!
"Whatever you want to do, your Majesty will naturally have your own reasons."
Li Fei nodded, but the smile on her lips was obviously a bit stiff.
In fact, seeing the pavilion reduced to such a miserable state, it is inevitable to feel a bit sad. The former imperial concubine was quite good, but now she is getting more and more excessive.
…
"Sister Yi."
Chu Yan still shouted cowardly. In fact, she didn't want to come over at all this time. Her mother and concubine must have asked her to come over.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Yi sat on a chair and drank tea, glancing at Chu Yan who was always timid and lowering her head, "Chu Xin and Chu Shu didn't go to Funing Hall to learn the rules a few days ago, but you are good at reading people's eyes. Know to stay with me.”
"I heard that the two sisters accidentally fell into the lotus pond and became seriously ill after being rescued."
Chu Yan bit her lip and didn't dare to look at Chu Yi.
"It can fall down while walking on the road. Isn't it really too unlucky?"
Chu Yi said harshly and sarcastically that in fact, at that time, she also pinched the right time and asked the guards to go back and rescue both of them because she was really afraid that someone would actually die.
I really just want to teach the two of them a lesson. My mother-in-law and the emperor's brother are right. If you really hate someone and kill them directly, it would be boring. What you want is to keep torturing them for fun!
"yes."
Chu Yan could only nod. She felt like she would be eaten if she stayed here for a second longer. As long as she stayed around Chu Yi, she felt uncomfortable all over and felt that she was always being ridiculed.
In fact, she really didn't understand why the mother-in-law always asked her to play with Chu Yi. Did the mother-in-law really not care that she would always be wronged?
