Chapter 409 405: Then let her have a taste of it herself
After Song Yunzhao left, Concubine Shu and Wang Zhaorong did not sit idle, but called Cai Qin over for questioning.
Yesterday, Caiqin accompanied Xu Guiren to Shouci Palace. What happened to make Xu Guiren sick? He couldn't suddenly become so ill for no reason.
Caiqin didn't dare to say anything at first, but when Concubine Shu said that she would be sent out of the palace if she didn't tell the truth, she was so frightened that she confessed immediately.
After listening to Caiqin's words, the two of them realized that Xu Mingying went to Shouci Palace yesterday, but the Queen Mother did not see her, but made her stand under the eaves for more than two hours.
In such a cold weather, even if there is no shelter under the eaves and no stove or charcoal pot for heating, the cold wind is blowing like this, and even an iron man cannot bear it.
Concubine Shu's expression was really unbearable. The Queen Mother really didn't take Xu Mingying's life seriously by doing this.
She has also heard that when the late emperor was still alive, the queen mother was often bullied by the late emperor's favorite concubines. Why should she inflict the suffering she suffered on others?
Xu Mingying is also unlucky enough.
Concubine Shu’s face was not good-looking, and Wang Zhaorong’s face was even darker. She looked at Concubine Shu and said, “We can’t hide this matter, we still have to report it to the emperor.”
The only person in the harem who can control the Queen Mother is the emperor. If the emperor doesn't come forward, if this continues, Xu Mingying may not be able to escape this time or next time.
Concubine Shu felt like she had been slapped in the face by the Queen Mother. She was one of the three concubines who served as the director of the harem. Where did the Queen Mother put her face by doing this?
If this anger cannot be released, wouldn't she be suffocated to death?
Her father is the Right Chancellor. She doesn't dare to do anything to the Queen Mother. How can she be afraid of others?
“An Xiaoyi was also in Shouci Palace yesterday?” Concubine Shu asked, looking at Caiqin.
Caiqin nodded with tears in her eyes, "Yes."
“Go and invite An Xiaoyi.” Concubine Shu said with a gloomy face.
Hearing this, Yun Dai immediately stepped forward to respond, then turned around and headed to Huayang Palace.
Huayang Palace and Wang Zhaorong’s Zhaoyang Palace lived next to each other, and soon Yun Dai invited people over.
Concubine Shu didn't even ask An Xiaoyi to come in to reply, and just threw her under the eaves. The atmosphere in Mingguang Hall became a little stagnant for a while.
Concubine Shu did not believe that An Xiaoyi was innocent. If An Xiaoyi was kind-hearted, she should speak in front of the Queen Mother and say a few nice words for Xu Guiren, which would not make people freeze for two hours.
Since she is so helpful to others, let her have a taste of what it feels like to be cold.
An Xiaoyi has been protected by the Queen Mother since she entered the palace. Except for being unable to get what she wanted in terms of love, the harem was much more comfortable than the concubines who entered the palace at the same time.
Besides, the truth about Jin Cuiyuan’s injury is still open to question. Concubine Shu’s heart is filled with darkness when she looks at such a person.
Concubine Shu never thinks she is a good person. In this harem, there is only one emperor. It is difficult for you to get what you want without fighting or robbing.
She naturally fought for it, but lost in the end. She gave up when she lost.
Even so, she did not take the lives of so many people in the harem seriously, nor did she really harm anyone's life.
Song Yunzhao is favored?
Why should Song Yunzhao be separated? So she can think openly about this matter. If she can't compete, she just can't compete with others. It's because she is incompetent.
However, she would not kill anyone in order to compete for the emperor's favor, but what did the Queen Mother and An Xiaoyi do?
In order to make the Wuxinhou Mansion behind Xu Guiren support An Xiaoyi, they harmed Xu Guiren like this. This was to force the Wuxinhou Mansion to surrender and take Xu Mingying's life.
Bah!
She is still in charge of the harem now. Even if Concubine Shu is not a good person, she cannot watch something like this happen.
An Xiaoyi doesn’t take other people’s lives seriously?
Then let her have a taste of it.
She is just a Xiaoyi, and I am one of the three concubines. If I want her to stand against the wind, it is like the Queen Mother asking Xu Guiren to stand for punishment. She can't even fart, and she must act like a piece of wood under the eaves of the corridor.
Concubine Shu asked someone to close the door of Zhaoyang Palace to find out why Xu Guiren was ill, and no one was allowed to go out without her permission. The palace servants who followed An Xiaoyi were cut off from reporting the news to the Queen Mother.
Wang Zhaorong felt slightly uneasy. After half an hour, she couldn't help it anymore and said to Concubine Shu, "Do you really want her to stand outside like this?"
What if the Queen Mother gets angry afterwards?
Concubine Shu looked at Wang Zhaorong and said, "Why are you so timid? You were not like this before. I just want An Xiaoyi to experience how Guiren Xu was treated yesterday. If she was really kind-hearted, she should have done it for her yesterday. Xu Guiren would like to say a few words, since she doesn’t have this kind heart, I have to teach her that after entering the harem, we are all sisters, what does it mean to share joys and sorrows!"
Wang Zhaorong:…
Since Concubine Shu and Concubine Ming have gotten closer and closer, their faces have become thicker and thicker like theirs.
She was unable to refute Concubine Shu's words, so she acquiesced.
Speaking of it, after she is no longer the third concubine, she is naturally not as confident as before in speaking and doing things. She is inevitably hesitant about looking forward and backward, and there is nothing that can be done about it.
This person does not have the confidence to live in this world because he is cowardly.
In any case, she would not dare to face the Queen Mother like Concubine Shu and Concubine Ming, who were so fearless. If Concubine Ming had not entered the palace, she could have been favored and given birth to a child, and she would not be living like this with her head down.
But who told her not to be a concubine?
I was still unconvinced before, but the appearance of the new concubine who entered the palace was very outstanding and was not inferior to that of the Ming concubine. However, the emperor didn't even glance at her. He just threw her aside after entering the palace for so long. Whenever he had time, he would go to her. Yaohua Palace run.
She has no thoughts at all now. If Concubine Ming hadn't helped her after the fall of the Wang family, her life would have been much more difficult than it is now.
Wang Zhaorong also tried to persuade her as usual. Since Concubine Shu had made up her mind, she would not hold her back. After all, everyone was in the same boat now.
Turning to Song Yunzhao, she sent a message to Taiji Hall, but Feng Yi kept summoning courtiers, and Meng Jiuchang couldn't reply for her for a while, asking Zhang Maoquan to come back and confess to her.
Song Yunzhao learned something from Feng Yi. Beiming was wandering around the border town again. It was clear that he had evil intentions. Maybe he was still thinking of going on an expedition, and he had just reorganized the army. Now he was afraid that he wanted to strike while the iron was hot to establish his authority.
It is indeed not a good time to go on an expedition in winter, but for wars, no matter what season, the enemy comes and you have to fight.
It was already sunset, and Song Yunzhao didn't expect Feng Yi to come over in person. Seeing that his face turned slightly pale, Song Yunzhao hurriedly asked people to prepare meals.
Feng Zu jumped up from the warm couch, first greeted his father in a decent manner, and then threw himself into someone's arms.
Feng Yi lifted his son up with a smile, and the whole hall was filled with the laughter of father and son.
