The assassin's princess is actually my aunt

Chapter 144: Harem Fight

Although he guessed Qian Wuheng's plan, he hasn't taken any actual action yet.

Just when Qian Wushang and Qian Wuyu were preparing to go to Baibu Valley to find 100,000 private soldiers and present the evidence to Emperor Qian Yao for a decision.

A major event happened in the court. Emperor Qian Yao suddenly coughed up blood and fainted on the dragon throne while attending court.

The front court and the harem were in chaos.

Yongshou Palace

The Empress, Concubine Feng Duan, Concubine Sun Shu, Noble Lady Du, and the newly favored Concubine Ling were all guarding Emperor Qianyao's bedroom, the Yongshou Palace.

Listening to the sobbing of Concubine Sun Shu and Guiren Du, Concubine Ling sneered.

"Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune, and nothing will happen to you. You are crying here, but I'm afraid you are cursing your Majesty."

Concubine Sun Shu and Noble Lady Du were choked with anger. Concubine Sun Shu had a gentle personality and did not take it to heart after hearing what Concubine Ling said.

But I also knew that I couldn't let anyone catch me, so I wiped it with a handkerchief.

Lady Du is not someone who can tolerate anything.

Concubine Du looked at Princess Qingling with cold eyes, and a feeling of depression rose in her heart.

Recently, because of the new concubine Ling who came into the palace.

Your Majesty has not visited her for a long time, and this Concubine Ling is extremely arrogant.

Originally, there was an arrogant Zhou Lanfei who was oppressing them.

Now, Concubine Zhou Lan has moved to Guangmen Palace, and it was thought that they would have their day to shine.

Unexpectedly, this Concubine Ling was even more arrogant than Concubine Zhou Lan.

Your Majesty has been staying in Lingfei's Ganquan Palace for more than half a month.

Not only that, rewards were delivered to Ganquan Palace every few days like flowing water.

It really made all the concubines in the harem envious.

During this period, the most discussed thing in the harem, besides Concubine Zhou Lan, oh no! Concubine Zhou's affairs.

And then there is this spiritual concubine who is enjoying great favor!

Concubine Du was young and had only been in the palace for less than a year. Before Concubine Ling, she was the one who had served the most emperors.

Now she is suddenly alone guarding the palace walls, and she is not like Concubine Shu.

Although he is not favored, he has a daughter by his side, so he will not feel lonely in the palace.

Now, in public, he had to endure such a reprimand from Concubine Ling.

It is really unbearable, and I feel a sense of rage in my heart that I cannot swallow for a long time.

So, furious, he retorted: “Your Majesty suddenly coughed up blood and fainted.

My concubine and sister Shufei are extremely anxious and uneasy.

I panicked for a moment and couldn't control my emotions and cried.

My sister Shufei and I are deeply concerned about your Majesty's health. How could we be as indifferent as Lingfei?

We can still talk and laugh at this moment!

It’s just that His Majesty usually dotes on Sister Lingfei and stays in Ganquan Palace every night.

However, Sister Lingfei had no idea that His Majesty had been in poor health recently.

I guess I don't care much about Your Majesty on weekdays.

At present, His Majesty is ill and bedridden, and has not seen his sister, showing any true feelings.

It is so disappointing and heartbreaking! "

"You!" Princess Qingling's face suddenly turned gloomy, and a hint of barely perceptible anger flashed in her eyes.

However, she was not too worried or anxious about His Majesty's sudden fainting.

These days, although His Majesty often stayed in her palace, he never showed any signs of physical discomfort.

Faced with this sudden change, she really had no idea why His Majesty fainted on the ground for no reason and even coughed up blood.

However, such words must never be said openly under any circumstances.

If His Majesty hears what happened after he wakes up, he will probably follow in Concubine Lan's footsteps!

Seeing that Concubine Du was so aggressive and sharp in her words.

Princess Qingling turned her gaze to the Queen Mother and Concubine Feng Duan who were standing silently at the side.

After a moment's thought, she quickly changed her facial expression, revealing a sad and aggrieved look.

Then he said softly: "How can Sister Du talk like this?

Your Majesty is in poor health, so my sister is naturally extremely anxious and worried.

However, my sister also understands that the imperial doctors are doing their best to treat His Majesty, so we should remain quiet.

Instead of crying and being annoying.

The Empress Dowager and Concubine Duan did not cry as inappropriately as her younger sister.

Could it be that my sister is also going to say that the Empress and Concubine Duan are indifferent to Your Majesty and it is chilling? "

Concubine Du looked terrified, and immediately said to the Queen and Concubine Duan in fear and trepidation:

"Empress, Sister Duan, please calm down! I have no such intention!

I...I was just worried about your majesty's safety, and I lost my composure in a moment of panic.

I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Queen and Concubine Duan!"

After saying this, she knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to admit her mistake.

The reason why Concubine Du dared to challenge Concubine Ling was because she relied on the fact that Concubine Ling's mother's family was far away in Dayuan and she had just arrived in Qianyao without any foundation.

But he absolutely dared not be disrespectful to the Empress and Concubine Feng Duan, who gave birth to the Second Prince.

Upon seeing this, the Queen frowned slightly. Both Concubine Ling and Noble Lady Du were not easy to deal with.

But His Majesty is lying inside now, and I don’t know what’s going on.

The queen had no intention of educating them.

His serious gaze slowly swept across the two young and beautiful faces.

He said, “Forget it, get up, and don’t act so rashly again.

The most important thing right now is your Majesty's condition. We must all work together and pray for your Majesty's speedy recovery."

Concubine Duan also nodded, indicating that she agreed with the Queen's statement.

She looked at Concubine Du and said, "My sister is also concerned about Your Majesty, so it is understandable.

But you still have to be careful about your words and actions, so as not to give others something to talk about.”

Lady Du was filled with gratitude and quickly stood up to express her gratitude:

"Thank you, Queen, and Sister Duanfei for your generosity. I will definitely keep your teachings in mind and will not make the same mistake again."

The Queen looked at Concubine Ling's face which was slightly raised with pride.

Holding back the impatience in his heart, he gently shook his head and said calmly: "Ling Fei,

Concubine Sun Shufei, Noble Lady Du and the others were just panic-stricken for a moment.

You are in a high position, so you only need some pointers. Why do you need to be so sharp-tongued?"

After hearing what the Queen said, the smug look on Concubine Ling's face instantly disappeared.

Instead, there was a hint of awkwardness and stiffness.

She lowered her head and moved her lips, but in the end she didn't dare to say a word of rebuttal.

She just whispered and stammered, "Yes...I know I was wrong."

Seeing this, the queen nodded and gently continued to instruct:

"Your Majesty is ill now, and I think he would not want to hear news of unrest in the harem.

My sisters, you should support each other and maintain the stability of the harem."

"Yes... I will personally follow the Queen's instructions..."

All the concubines, led by Concubine Duan, immediately knelt down respectfully and kowtowed to thank the Queen.

Concubine Feng Duan, who was kneeling closest to the Queen, was humble and respectful.

Only a barely perceptible strangeness flashed across his lowered eyes.
