In another Zen room, Concubine De and Concubine Xian were shocked when they heard the news.
The palace official who came to report the news said: "Yes, I heard from people around them that Marquis Yan and Miss Xu San were washed downstream by the undercurrent in the water, and they were saved by someone."
Concubine De and Concubine Xian looked at each other.
When it comes to Concubine Shu's sudden downfall, they are the ones who are most emotional. After fighting for more than ten years, they never thought that Concubine Shu would fall into such a thing. Even Concubine De, who dug the hole, did not expect that the emperor would do this.
This meeting will show no mercy.
It wasn't the first day Concubine Shu was stupid, why didn't she have any trouble before? In the final analysis, it was not the emperor's mindless preference.
After thinking about it, they could only guess that the matter was too big. In order to appease Duke Zhao, the emperor had to put aside the favor he had received for more than ten years.
Now that she heard that they were back, Concubine De's first words were: "What about Concubine Shu? Can Your Majesty ask someone to let her go?"
The palace servant replied: "Back to your Majesty, Your Majesty has not said anything."
Concubine De waved her hand and told her to leave.
Concubine Xian glanced at her and said, "Sister, do you think this is a coincidence?"
Concubine De nodded: "It's sunny and sunny today, how can there be any undercurrent under the water? Even if it is true, so many boat girls who are proficient in water skills didn't notice it, and they encountered it?"
"Do you think it's Miss Xu San or Mr. Yan?"
Concubine De pursed her lips, the figures of the two people flashed in her mind, and finally said softly: "Young Master Yan can't do it, can he?"
Concubine Xian smiled, and while raising her hand to pour tea, she said slowly: "This Miss Xu San is amazing. She is capable of killing traitors with her bow and bow, and she is capable of suppressing traitors with her clever words. We have been doing this for more than ten years and have not been able to achieve it."
She did it easily and deftly."
"Yes," Concubine De murmured, "Fortunately she doesn't have this ambition..."
Otherwise, where would they have a foothold in this harem?
The two looked at each other, both showing joy.
Concubine Xian then revealed her thoughts: "Sister, you said that if she doesn't have this ambition, then where is her ambition?"
Concubine De was startled and said: "Today she fell into the water at the same time as Young Master Yan. Even if she didn't let anyone see what they shouldn't have seen, it would eventually damage her reputation. Could it be that..."
Concubine Xian said: "Yan Er is not the eldest son, but has a brother above him. How can a person like her be willing to be subordinate to others?"
Concubine De also hesitated after saying this. Concubine Shu wanted to plot against her. For such a beloved concubine, she would harm her as soon as she said harm. She was so cruel and ruthless, and she really didn't look like someone who could be wronged.
"What do you mean by sister Yixian Fei?"
Concubine Xian shook her head: "I can't guess. I just think it's better to stay away from such people. I'm no better than Concubine Shu, and I'm no better than my sister. I'm here just because of my seniority, so I can't afford to offend him."
She stopped clicking, stood up and said with a smile: "Since they have returned safely, we'd better go and express our condolences, what do you think, sister?"
What else can Concubine De say? Concubine Shu is finished. They are now the concubines with the highest status in the harem, and they should come forward to appease her.
But in her heart, she always felt panicked and kept thinking about Concubine Xian's words.
If this is not her ambition, then where is her ambition?
…
Mrs. Ye was overjoyed when she heard that they were back.
"Since they are fine, when will Your Majesty release Xuanhua and Xuanbo?"
The chamberlain guarding her glanced at her and said coldly: "Your Majesty didn't say anything. Madam should just wait and see in peace!"
Mrs. Ye was stunned for a moment and looked at him suspiciously: "Impossible! Your Majesty has always loved Concubine Chong Shu..."
The servant was impatient: "If you say no, it means no. The Marquis of Yan and Yongjia County Lord are safe and sound. It's because of their deep blessings. What does it have to do with you? Could it be that you have done no harm to others?"
Confirming that the emperor had no intention of pardoning, Mrs. Ye cried out in despair: "No, help me tell His Majesty! This is simply a conspiracy! If they really fell into the water, how could they come back safely without being searched by so many people? They
This is intentional to harm Concubine Shu! Your Majesty, you must find out everything..."
She kept shouting like this, and the chamberlain was afraid that she would cause trouble to the emperor, so he simply silenced her.
But this shrill shouting had already spread outside, and people who heard it had mixed emotions.
Under the verandah, a lady was filled with sighs and turned to advise Mrs. Huaiyuan Hou beside her: "Did you hear that? This habit of talking about people behind their backs needs to be corrected in the future. Don't hold any grudges in your heart. You can't offend that person.
rise."
Mrs. Huaiyuan Hou was as silent as a cicada.
Previously, she thought that Miss Xu San fell into the water and died, and she felt very happy, thinking that God was helping her to vent her anger. Suddenly, she heard that she had come back safely, and His Majesty personally summoned her to comfort her, but he still wanted to punish Concubine Shu. This was not right.
What Mrs. Ye said is absolutely correct. When Your Majesty heard that they fell into the water, he almost turned the entire river over, so they couldn't be found. If they didn't do it on purpose, it's really hard to believe.
They can all think of it, and so can His Majesty. So, His Majesty knows that they are rebelling against the generals, but still does not intend to let Concubine Shu go. What does this mean?
This is the concubine Shu who has been favored in the harem for more than ten years. She is upset at the thought of it...
I can't afford it, I really can't afford it.
…
As the sun sets over the western mountains, the holy driver finally returns.
This Daughter's Day has been really full of ups and downs and twists and turns.
Everyone's heart was so heavy that they completely forgot about the topic of today.
Probably only Princess Changning was truly happy. She kept chattering all the way to the main entrance of the palace, where she reluctantly said goodbye to Xu Yin.
"Will you come to school tomorrow?" She just asked, but then she said no, "No, no, you fell into the water today and must have been frightened. You'd better have a good rest for a few days! Oh, then I don't want to be alone.
Going to school? It’s so boring.”
Xu Yin said: "Princess, don't worry, the museum will definitely take a few days off. You should also have a good rest."
"Huh?"
Xu Yin glanced at the imperial chariot and said softly: "Your Majesty is in a bad mood. Princess, please be more careful these days."
Princess Changning stopped laughing and lowered her voice: "I know, my father suddenly lost his concubine Shu..."
The two exchanged glances, and Princess Changning said goodbye to her: "Then I'll go back first, see you later."
"Well done, princess."
…
In another cart, the prince was also asking Yan Ling: "So, you are indeed interested in Miss Xu San?"
Yan Ling touched her nose and looked embarrassed: "Why do you ask, Your Highness, knowingly? I have already told you."
The prince laughed: "You said earlier that you were afraid that people would look down on you, but I don't think so!"
Yan Ling smiled and said: "Maybe this is what is called sincerity, and gold and stone are opened!"
The prince nodded in agreement: "That's right. You risked your life to save people. No matter how hard-hearted she is, she still has to be moved, right?"
Xu Yin's face flashed before his eyes, a little reluctant, but thinking about today's results, he was in a good mood, and finally encouraged him generously: "Since you like it, then work harder, I support you!"
