Chapter 107 Concubine Kang denounces Ruyan Liu
Concubine Liu snorted coldly, with a bit of grievance on her bright face: "Your Majesty, if you send the bracelet I gave to the newlyweds to Baohua Palace for blessings, there will be rumors in the palace that the things I gave are not blessed and need to be purified by the Buddha."
"For no reason, I have to suffer this unprovoked disaster."
The emperor knew Concubine Liu's temper. If she was wronged, she would secretly vent her anger on Concubine Zhou.
All the women in the harem were the same to him. Many times, the emperor did not care about their feelings, but the heir was the most important.
"Then let the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs tell them that the bracelet has flaws and needs to be taken back and re-polished."
This way, we can both save Concubine Liu's face and eliminate Concubine Zhou's worries.
The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was her man. Concubine Liu had achieved her goal, so she decided to stop while she was ahead: "Your Majesty really loves Sister Zhou. I obey your command..."
Concubine Zhou breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Concubine. Now I can rest assured!"
"I am guilty of disturbing your majesty and the imperial concubine's rest. It is getting late, your majesty and the imperial concubine should go to rest quickly, otherwise I will be really scared..."
An ordinary concubine would have used the excuse of being frightened to ask him to stay with her. But Concubine Zhou pushed him away, which was quite unusual.
But think about it, now it is Concubine Liu who is responsible for her pregnancy, so she naturally dare not offend Concubine Liu.
"Then you should have a good rest. I will come to see you when I am free."
"Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off! Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off!"
When turning around, Concubine Liu and Concubine Zhou exchanged glances and were quite satisfied with her performance today.
early morning.
Concubine Liu helped the emperor wash and change his clothes, and then respectfully sent him to court.
After breakfast, Concubine Zhou went to the main hall to pay her respects: "I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine. May the Imperial Concubine be blessed with good fortune and happiness!"
Concubine Liu glanced at her lazily and said, "Didn't I tell you that you don't need to be polite when you are pregnant? Get up."
She had said so, but Concubine Zhou knew that if she really did that, she would probably be dead soon: "Your Highness is of noble status, and you are taking care of my baby. You are as kind to me as if I had been reborn. I dare not be disrespectful in front of you."
Concubine Liu snorted coldly: "You are quite sensible. Please take a seat."
"Thank you, empress!"
At this time, Cuizhu came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Chen Yaming, the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is here."
"Let him in."
"Yes."
Chen Yaming bowed respectfully and motioned the eunuch behind him to bring up the tray. His face was full of flattering smiles. "I dare not delay the Imperial Concubine's request, so I collected the remaining bracelets early in the morning. Although the concubines were puzzled, they did not doubt it after my explanation."
Now that the evidence was in her hands, she finally took the initiative. Concubine Liu said with satisfaction: "You did a good job."
"But the Queen will not be able to hide any movement in the harem. You must find out who tampered with the bracelet before she takes any action. Otherwise... I will not keep any idle people under my command!"
Chen Yaming's heart tightened, and he quickly assured: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my best to track it down!"
Concubine Liu had never looked down on Queen Jiang, but she was afraid that if she noticed any movement, she would destroy all the evidence in an instant. Then everything she did would be in vain.
Thinking of this, Concubine Liu narrowed her eyes: "When you go back, do this..."
After hearing this, not only Chen Yaming, but even Concubine Zhou felt a little shocked.
Everyone in the harem says that the imperial concubine is arrogant and domineering, but they didn't expect that her methods should not be underestimated!
That’s right, without some real ability, how can one sit firmly on the position of imperial concubine and even make the queen wary of him?
In front of her, Concubine Zhou became even more cautious.
……
After Nangong Xuanyu left the court, he was still on his way back to the Yangxin Palace when the eunuch who served in front of the emperor hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, Concubine Kang from the Shangxiang Palace sent someone to report that Concubine Liu wanted to kill her. Please, Your Majesty, take action for her!"
Although there was no evidence that Liu Ruyan was behind Concubine Kang's miscarriage, the person who did it was her personal maid after all, and the emperor always had doubts about her.
It was not until Liu Ruyan's alluring dance at the Xiaotangshan Palace that Nangong Xuanyu's impression of her improved.
Only a few days had passed and something unexpected had happened again.
Of course, the emperor is suspicious and will not trust anyone easily.
Everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Kang and Liu Ruyan have had conflicts. This time it might be that Liu Ruyan harmed her; or it might be that she staged this incident herself and wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge.
If it is the former, then the harem will never tolerate such a vicious woman!
But you have to understand the specific situation to know it.
The emperor's face darkened: "Go to the auspicious palace!"
Kang Guiren is one of the few noble ladies with a title. After her miscarriage, the emperor is very compassionate to her and is in great favor with her. Liu Ruyan was once a leader among the newcomers, and because of the incident at the Xiaotangshan Palace, she caused a sensation in the harem.
The two men faced off again, attracting the attention of countless people, who came to Shangxiang Hall one after another under the banner of concern.
"His Majesty……"
After Kang Guiren finished her greetings, her face was covered with tears: "I really don't know what deep hatred I have with Liu Guiren? Why did her maidservant who came with her kill my child? She also wants to kill me..."
When Liu Ruyan arrived, she just heard these words and her heart sank to the bottom!
She really didn't understand, she did this so secretly, how did Concubine Kang find out? !
No! It's not the last moment yet, she can't panic!
"Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"
Liu Ruyan knelt on the ground, her slender figure looking pitiful and miserable. "Sister Kang, I know you lost your child, and I am very upset. But the culprit has been punished. You are angry with me because she is my personal maid. This is indeed because I did not discipline my subordinates well. I have nothing to say."
"But you said I wanted to kill you. I really don't know where this came from..."
Xun You also looked aggrieved: "Ever since the young lady was stripped of her title by His Majesty, the palace servants who served her have all found excuses to leave, and the young lady is left with only this servant."
"The young lady has been feeling unwell these past few days and has been staying at Yilan Pavilion. I have been taking care of her and have never left her side. How could the young lady harm Concubine Kang? Your Majesty, please understand!"
Shen Zhinian sighed in his heart and was somewhat impressed by this master and servant pair.
First, Liu Ruyan hinted to everyone that Concubine Kang was grudgeful for her miscarriage and therefore deliberately framed her. Xunyou then told her about her pitiful situation in an attempt to arouse the emperor's sympathy.
What a clever trick!
It’s a pity that they have both witnesses and evidence, and Liu Ruyan is destined to lose this time!
The emperor sat in the main seat, his eyes dim and unclear, not believing any of the parties' statements, and asked, "Lady Kang, you said that Lady Liu wanted to kill you, do you have any evidence?"
