Several people quickly stood up and left.
She and Yue Concubine were the only ones left in the room. Concubine Yu looked at Yue Concubine's belly, her expression softened a bit, and said, "How have you been lately? Are you having a big reaction?"
"I keep vomiting all the time, and I am also incompetent. I really can only take care of my own health first." Yue Bin said bitterly.
Concubine Yue frowned, "I don't want to reprimand you, I just want to care about you. Although you are not his biological sister, you are still a member of the Gao family. I will naturally protect you to some extent. I also hope that you can Give birth to this child well.”
Yue Concubine stood up and bent down, "Concubine, thank you for your concern."
"Now you and I are in the same camp. Seeing how proud Concubine De Gui is, the Queen only thinks about her own belly and ignores the affairs of the harem. She occupies the title but refuses to take care of the general affairs, leaving Concubine De Gui alone to dominate. This palace is really I can’t swallow this breath.”
Concubine Yue did not answer immediately after hearing the words, but thought about it seriously, "Concubine De Gui is really cunning. We really can't catch her fault in the palace. Those people in this palace are used to looking down on others. Those concubines We’ve all gone to please her, we can’t do anything to her, but we can start from other places.”
These words made Concubine Yu perk up, and she immediately sat up and asked, "Where to start?"
"I heard that Marquis Qi Yuan has done a lot of ridiculous things recently. He has collected a lot of beauties in his backyard. Can we start from here?"
When Concubine Yu heard this, she immediately laughed and said, "I know that among these people, you are the only one with the smartest brains."
After Yue Concubine said this idea, Concubine Yu could even let out a long breath.
Pass this matter to Gao Mingyao and ask him to find a way to frame Jiang Tiancheng.
It's best that this woman is the one he can't touch. Once the incident is revealed, the emperor will be furious and will be punished by Qi Yuanhou. If he can be made to be demoted to a commoner and sent thousands of miles away, the noble concubine will also be the daughter of the guilty minister.
When she is in this palace, who can think highly of her?
After passing the news to Gao Mingyao, Gao Mingyao immediately arranged for someone to do it.
At this time, Jin Xin was in the palace, feeling a little uneasy.
Her right eyelid twitched, Jin Xin rubbed her brow helplessly, and sighed deeply, could it be because she didn't sleep well last night?
She had been suffering from insomnia for no reason these past few days, but she couldn't get up at all after falling asleep, and she was very tired.
Is it because the summer is too hot?
It's July, and July 7th is the Qiao Qiao Festival outside the palace. We need to prepare for these things in the palace, not only for the concubines, but also for the servants and maids who serve them.
The queen is not busy, so Jin Xin is inevitably busy. This must be why she has been very tired recently.
Now that the two concubines in the palace are pregnant, the queen and the concubine are given things according to the highest standards, but the queen mostly prepares things in her own palace and protects herself with the utmost care.
Yue Concubine is quite courageous. She will go to other people's palaces to show off her belly when she has nothing to do. Naturally, her favorite place to go is the Jade Concubine's palace.
But I would never dare to come to Chengen Palace.
Hong'er's first birthday will be at the end of next month. He crawls very fast, can stand but cannot walk, but dare not stand alone. He is strong and cute.
No matter how busy the emperor is, he will never come to Chengen Palace for more than three days.
So after the child recognized the person and saw his father, he waved excitedly. This move made the emperor look forward to seeing this child and enjoying the family relationship between father and son.
In the evening, it was agreed that the emperor would come over for dinner, so Jin Xin had someone prepare the dishes and waited for the emperor to come over.
Hong'er is still detained and waiting for his father.
But the sky gradually darkened, and finally it was completely dark. The emperor didn't come over, or even sent someone to say a word.
Jin Xin looked at the food on the table and saw that it was all cold. There was no movement outside.
"Your Majesty, please take the dishes and heat them up." Lianrong stepped forward and asked.
However, Jin Xin raised her hand to stop her and said, "There's no need to heat up. It's already midnight and it looks like he won't come. Let's go and find out where the emperor has gone."
Xiao Fuzi was a very clever person. The emperor did not come after the hour, so he sent someone to inquire in advance.
"The emperor is still in the imperial study. It seems that Qi Yuanhou has been announced to the palace and has not come out yet."
When Jin Xin heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad premonition.
"Has there been any news from outside the palace to me recently?" Jin Xin asked hurriedly,
"No." Lian Rong shook her head, but then she thought of something, as if she had just woken up, and said, "In the afternoon, someone seemed to ask to see the empress, but he was detained by Manager Huang. This matter, Manager Huang said it was not important. It was said that some servants with high vision wanted to find a way to serve in our palace, so I didn’t take it seriously.”
Lianrong's words made Jinxin realize that something might have happened.
Huang Wanshun is a member of the royal family. Whenever he meddles in the harem's concubines and asks for help, that slave definitely has something to do with him.
All this today is really abnormal.
Jin Xin immediately couldn't sit still and said, "Prepare a heat-relieving soup and go with me to the Imperial Study Room."
Jin Xin then took people to the imperial study room and asked to see the emperor.
However, Huang Wanshun stepped forward and stopped him with a smile, "My dear concubine, the emperor is still discussing matters with the ministers and cannot see you yet."
Hearing this, Jin Xin smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law. I am only here to deliver the heat-relieving soup. No matter how busy the emperor is, he has to take care of his own health."
Huang Wanshun continued to smile, "Send the soup to me, please take it back."
How could Jin Xin really leave? She asked in a low voice, "Did someone make the emperor angry? What can I do?"
Jin Xin was always kind to others, especially those in front of the Emperor. She was extremely polite and even flattering. She had done this since she was in the palace. Huang Wanshun admired Jin Xin's behavior and work very much. Yes, I didn’t show off.
"It was about Qi Yuanhou. Qi Yuanhou was drunk and defiled the widow of General Wang Zhao. Mrs. Wang left a suicide note and jumped into the river. She was rescued by General Gao. The matter was handed over to the emperor. Your Majesty. I’m angry.”
After hearing this, Jin Xin felt a chill running down her spine, her scalp was numb, and she could hardly stand. Fortunately, Lianrong supported her, "Your Majesty."
Jin Xin calmed down for a long time, then stabilized her emotions and looked at Huang Wanshun, "Has the Emperor taken any action on this matter?"
Huang Wanshun shook his head and sighed, "Your Majesty is thinking of your Majesty. This matter has not been dealt with yet, but the ministers have sent reports to the Marquis of Qiyuan one after another, asking the Emperor to deal with it seriously and not to chill the hearts of the soldiers."
Jin Xin closed her eyes, her heart full of despair. If Jiang Tiancheng was an official with political achievements, there might be room for him to deal with this matter.
But he happened to be an incompetent man. He relied on his deceased wife in the first place and his daughter who was promoted to a noble concubine in the back. If he could stay in peace, he would naturally be able to enjoy his old age. However, he has a romantic nature and now he is in love with the widow of a martyr.
He really deserves to die!
But if the emperor really dealt with it, her mother and younger brother would be implicated, and even she might be demoted, or worse.
She must save herself.
