Concubine Jing's anti-fetal medicine was laced with safflower. The maid Fen'er hanged herself, leaving behind a pack of red flowers and a beaded flower. The beaded flower came from the Yungui concubine's palace. No matter how you look at this matter, it seems to be related to Yungui.

The concubine cannot escape the relationship.

This was the most widely circulated word in the palace in the past few days. Everyone knew what happened that day, and there were also people who were eager to see the fate of Yungui Concubine, but there was nothing. Although the evidence was clear, the emperor did not let down Yungui Concubine.

, they just dropped the matter on the grounds that the humble maidservant was dead and had no witnesses and could not withstand scrutiny. This caused a sigh of relief in Hegong Palace!

After hearing that the Yungui concubine had received the news that day, she knelt down in plain clothes and Luochai in front of the Chongde Hall and begged for an audience. She said firmly that she had been wronged. She knelt for three full hours, but the emperor did not receive her.

Some people boldly predicted that the trend in the palace would change again.

Jingui Palace, Qiangwei Pavilion.

Ziwen carefully served Shu Guibi to the meal. Shu Guibi ate a few mouthfuls, put down her chopsticks, and turned to look at her. Her big eyes were misty as if she could talk, "Do you want to ask me why I set up this trap?"

This method will not harm Concubine Jing, nor will it really affect Concubine Yungui?"

Zi Wen nodded, "Your Majesty is very smart, and I do have this question."

Concubine Shu Gui smiled, as if the soft spring light was spreading on her face, "I want to test how sincere the emperor is in treating Concubine Yun Gui. Judging from the current situation, it is not really heartless."

Otherwise, with Chongmo's usual cruel and ruthless style, he would have ordered the Yungui concubine to be executed or sent out of the palace long ago. How could she be allowed to stay safely in Shaoyao Palace as her Yungui concubine.

Zi Wen listened, lowered his head and thought for a while, and then he understood. However, he had another question in his heart, and simply asked: "According to my master's opinion, is the popularity of Concubine Yungui related to the similarity in appearance between her and Concubine Li?

"

Concubine Shu Gui also looked suspicious after hearing this. She held her chin up and looked at a pot of purple flowers in the corner, seeming to sigh: "I don't know. The emperor treats Concubine Li by turns of favor and coldness. It's hard to judge. As for Concubine Yun Gui's favor,

I really can't see any clues." She thought for a while, then laughed sarcastically: "Don't talk about you and me, I'm afraid even Yun Gui's concubine only thought that she got the favor because of her own ability. In this palace,

The emperor's thoughts are always the most unpredictable."

"That's what the empress said," Zi Wen nodded in agreement. Suddenly he remembered something and asked again: "The master previously ordered the slave to give the medicine to Concubine Li, but the slave thinks that the concubine Li does not know how to use your medicine."

Shu Guibi didn't care, "It doesn't matter, I don't expect her to use it at all, but I just want to do my best."

Time flies like water, and it’s already June in the blink of an eye.

Concubine Yun Gui's favor came to an end with that incident. Although the emperor occasionally visited Concubine Li, it was no better than before. During this period, Concubine Shu Gui was quite favored by his family. The emperor went to her the most often. As for Concubine Li's Furong Palace

, the emperor did not even set foot in a prosperous palace in Xidi, which seemed to have become the coldest place in the palace. The saints could not come, and no one cared about the concubines nearby. Only Concubine Li lived there, as if she was left to her own devices.

self-destruct.

It is strange to say that as the weather gets hotter and hotter day by day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has set up an ice cellar and began to transport freshly made ice cubes to the Emperor's Moyang Palace every day. Ice cubes are rare and it is not very hot yet.

The scorching heat is only provided in the Moyang Palace, not even the Peony Palace. However, the unattended Furong Palace has little eunuchs transporting ice in every day. The huge chunks make people stunned when they see them.

.

The neighboring palaces were quite critical of this, and because of the emperor's holy appearance, they did not dare to complain in person. When they went to the Peony Palace every day to pay their respects, there were always a few people making insinuations and complaining. The queen always laughed it off, saying nothing but holy wishes.

Violation.

On this day, Concubine Li said something very pleasant, saying: "It's okay if others don't use it. It's just that Concubine Jing is pregnant with the emperor's heir and can't stand the heat. Concubine Li has the courage to beg the queen for Concubine Jing."

As a gift, I sincerely ask the Queen to advise the Emperor and also provide some ice cubes for Concubine Jing’s room.”

Every word of these words made sense, and the queen couldn't help but nod her head, and said: "It turns out that I was negligent. It's difficult for Concubine Li to have any intentions. I will mention it to the emperor today. I guess there is no problem."

After everyone heard this, they were all sighing. Concubine Zhuang put down the tea cup in her hand and said with a bit of resentment: "I see, the queen is the master of the harem. In the Peony Palace,

How can he fall behind her Furong Palace?"

The queen immediately glanced at her. Concubine Zhuang didn't feel that she had said something wrong. She lowered her head in disbelief, feeling unconvinced in her heart.

Only Concubine Yungui answered: "Sister Concubine Zhuang is right, the Queen is the master of the harem, so she should plan for herself. Although the Emperor is sympathetic to the Queen and is generous, the position of the lord of the harem cannot be overstepped.

"

Since she lost her favor, Yungui Concubine has restrained her behavior a lot, especially becoming more respectful to the Queen. Now she is standing in plain clothes and jade hairpin, especially refreshing and slim, and she looks more and more like Concubine Li.

The queen smiled warmly and said, "It's hard for you to think about me. I really don't dare to take it. Seeing that the sky is getting hotter day by day, I should advise the emperor to provide ice for all the sisters in the palace.

Come on, let’s all spend the summer cool and refreshing.”

After hearing this, everyone stood up and said thanks: "Thank you, Queen, for your grace."

After everyone had left, Concubine Zhuang was the last to walk out of the Peony Palace. Seeing everyone else getting on sedan chairs and driving them away, she turned back and as soon as she stepped into the palace door, she was scolded by the queen: "Stupid! You!"

Do you think I’m not embarrassed enough?! The things I didn’t use in my palace, she used in Furong Palace first, and I’m not afraid of shortening her life.”

"Your Majesty, calm down," Concubine Zhuang hesitated, not daring to step forward.

"Calm down!" The Queen snorted coldly, "Look at that seat, it has been empty for so long. She has blatantly stopped coming to the Peony Palace to pay her respects. How can I calm down my anger?!"

Seeing that she was really angry, Concubine Zhuang secretly rejoiced in her heart. She stepped forward cautiously, pushed away the others, and whispered: "Why don't you think of a way to solve this problem once and for all to avoid future troubles?"

The queen raised her head to look at her, her expression seemed a little relaxed, but also hesitant. Seeing the opportunity, Concubine Zhuang continued to say: "Is it true that the queen really wants to let her ride on your head? Think about it, you are the middle palace

Queen, how can we allow her to be arrogant and presumptuous?"

The Queen pondered for a moment, and finally shook her head, "No. The Emperor has criticized me a lot, and I cannot take risks at this time. If things fail, I will probably end up not being better than Queen Ningchu.

"

Concubine Zhuang was annoyed, "Are you just going to let her bully you like this?"

The queen chuckled, "She is in such a situation now. She doesn't leave the house all day long, and she can't make any waves for the time being. Why should I take action at this moment and cause all the trouble in vain?"
