Chapter 221: Bed Climbing Palace Maid 35
"Since the Queen has said so, I will go back and copy the palace rules." After saying this, Concubine Liu stood up and walked straight out, looking like she didn't take the Queen seriously at all.
This naturally made the Queen angry again, and then she looked at Concubine Chun's seat and asked, "Didn't Concubine Chun come to pay her respects again today?"
"Replying to the Queen, someone from Concubine Chun's palace just came to ask for leave, saying that Concubine Chun is still not feeling well today, so she will not come to pay respects to the Queen." A eunuch standing at the door replied:
"I'm late." Just then, Concubine Chen walked in from outside.
"The Concubine Chen is here to pay her respects to the Queen just in time!" Concubine Jing rolled her eyes at Concubine Chen and said:
"I was delayed in the morning when I was helping the emperor to attend court, so I am a little late," Concubine Chen rolled her eyes at Concubine Jing. "But the Empress didn't blame me for anything, so why is Concubine Jing so anxious to find fault? Could it be that Concubine Jing wants to take over her job?"
"you……"
"Alright, stop arguing," the Queen interrupted Concubine Jing, "You can't even greet me in peace. Do you still take me, the Queen, seriously?"
If it weren't for the ancestral rules, the queen would really want to cancel the greeting.
"Your Majesty, please calm down." The concubines quickly stood up and bowed, but the attitudes of Concubine Jing and Concubine Chen seemed a little perfunctory.
"Alright, let's all go!" As she spoke, the Queen looked at Jiang Chunxi and said, "Noble Lady Rong, take good care of your pregnancy and don't take the words of Noble Concubine Liu and Concubine Jing seriously."
"Yes, Queen." Jiang Chunxi said respectfully:
Concubine Chen frowned, wondering what Concubine Liu and Concubine Jing had said to Concubine Rong.
"Bang bang bang!"
Concubine Liu returned to her palace and started throwing things. After she had vented her anger and sat down panting, her chief maid Jing Meng brought her a cup of tea and said, "Your Majesty, have a cup of tea first!"
"boom!"
Concubine Liu knocked over the teacup in Jing Meng's hand and said, "Now even a lowly maid like you is causing trouble for me."
"Your Majesty, please calm down." Jing Meng knelt down quickly, and even Jing Xuan beside her knelt down quickly.
Ever since the death of the Second Prince, the Imperial Concubine has gone mad and has completely lost her rationality. This makes Jing Meng and Jing Xuan feel distressed and they tremble with fear every day.
"Didn't I tell you that I would prevent Concubine Rong from giving birth to her baby?" Concubine Liu glared at Jing Meng and Jing Xuan and said, "How did you do it? Why is Concubine Rong's baby still alive and well?"
"Your Majesty," Jing Xuan said, "Wutong Palace is well-defended like an iron barrel. Some of the things we prepared cannot be delivered to Wutong Palace at all, and..."
"And what?" Concubine Liu said angrily, "Why don't you explain it clearly? Why are you hesitating like this with me? Are you challenging my patience?"
"The Emperor has sent an aunt to Wutong Palace to take care of Concubine Rong, that is Aunt Fang. With Aunt Fang here, our methods against Concubine Rong cannot be extended to Wutong Palace at all," Jing Xuan said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, if it weren't for us, why don't we let Concubine Rong go first! The heir in Concubine Rong's belly is so valued by the Emperor. It is really not a wise move for us to attack the heir in Concubine Rong's belly."
"Besides, isn't it Concubine Chun who we should deal with the most now? And most importantly, Concubine Chun must be trying to deal with the queen. Even if the queen doesn't care about herself, she should think about the princess's safety."
"Since Concubine Chun can harm the Second Prince, she will naturally use her vicious means on the Princess."
They destroyed the body of Concubine Chun's son. Concubine Chun will definitely not let it go. She may have been planning how to harm the Empress. The most likely scenario is that she will attack the Empress's child again. If the Empress does not regain her sanity quickly, the princess may also be harmed by Concubine Chun.
"That bitch, Concubine Chun," Concubine Liu said with a ferocious expression in anger, "Immediately arrange for more people to be around the princess. I have already lost my son, and I cannot let my daughter be harmed by others."
Although Concubine Liu values her son more, it does not mean that she does not care about her daughter.
Jingxuan and Jingmeng both breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the queen had regained her sanity and would not continue to be crazy. If they had known this earlier, they should have used the princess's safety to persuade the queen earlier.
Not long after Concubine Chen returned to Chonghua Palace, Yingyan came in from outside to report to her.
"What? Concubine Liu and Concubine Jing actually said such things to Concubine Rong's unborn child," Concubine Chen's expression became serious. "Concubine Jing is fine, but why did Concubine Liu have such malice towards Concubine Rong's unborn child? Shouldn't she focus all her energy on Concubine Chun and fight her to the death?"
"She probably lost her son, so she hopes that others can't have children either," Yingrui guessed. "Who knows, Concubine Liu might even be malicious towards Concubine Jing's fourth prince and the Queen's crown prince."
"Your Highness, tell me, should we do something about this? It would be great if Concubine Liu could get rid of the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince together."
"That's easy for you to say," Concubine Chen frowned in dissatisfaction, "If I do something at this time, Concubine Liu might suspect me. After all, Concubine Liu is not a brainless person. If Wei Yan hadn't handled it properly and let Concubine Chun take the blame for us, Concubine Liu might have found out about me."
The fact that Concubine Liu was able to give birth to a son and a daughter safely is enough to prove that she was not an ordinary person.
So even though Concubine Chen was tempted by Yingrui's proposal, she still didn't dare to take the risk.
Given how crazy Concubine Liu was now, Concubine Chen really didn't dare to provoke her. Didn't she see that the child in Concubine Rong's belly didn't cause any trouble to her? So did she harbor malice towards the child in Concubine Rong's belly?
"Your Majesty is smart, it is me who has misjudged you." Yingrui quickly blamed herself:
"Okay, the most important thing for you to do now is to quickly coax Wei Yan into a good mood. You don't need to worry about other things," said the Concubine Chen. "I'm hungry, so hurry up and serve breakfast!"
At the same time, in Wutong Palace.
As soon as Jiang Chunxi came back, Aunt Fang quickly asked someone to bring up a bowl of bird's nest porridge.
"Aunt, I have no appetite," Jiang Chunxi's face was still pale, and she held Aunt Fang's hand tightly. "Tell me, why did Concubine Liu and Concubine Jing say such things? Are they trying to do something to the baby in my belly?"
"Don't be afraid, your aunt is here. She won't let anyone harm the baby in your belly." Aunt Fang said with concern.
Ever since Aunt Fang came to Wutong Palace, she had been the one to accompany Chunxi to pay respects to the Queen, so she naturally heard what Concubine Liu and Concubine Jing said outside the palace.
When she thought about how people had been attacking Wutong Palace continuously in the past few days, Aunt Fang's eyes became cold and stern.
