Empress looks forward to falling out of favor every day

Chapter 508 Black Pot
Tweety fell so fast that she probably landed before she could react.

There was no cry, only the muffled sound of the flesh falling to the ground.

Mei stood quietly by the well, and after hearing a muffled sound, she probed to see the situation at the bottom of the well, and stood up straight after confirming that the person was dead.

After a long time, she said softly, "Don't blame me, it's your own bad luck. It's your blessing that the empress is using you now. Your family and empress will take care of you for you."

After Mei finished speaking, she turned and left indifferently.

Kunluan Palace.

Lu Chun hurriedly ran into the house, "Niang Niang..."

Xiao Yueyao was stealing food at the moment, and when she heard Lu Chun's voice, she was so frightened that she almost choked.

"What, what's wrong?"

"Your Majesty." Lu Chun breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a pale face, "Your Majesty, you have people staring at the Jiaofang Hall. The little eunuch we sent over today saw that it was not Mei Yi who went to the House of Internal Affairs to get something, but a maid from a face, so he followed secretly."

Lu Chun's words stopped.

Xiao Yueyao couldn't help asking, "What's the matter? What happened?"

Luchun took a deep breath, and then said slowly, "The little eunuch watched Mei push the maid into the well with her own eyes, and the things that the maid brought out from the House of Internal Affairs also fell into the well."

"Something's going to happen."

Xiao Yueyao's face was serious.

Luchun's face was pale, because the masters who served her were different, and Luchun and Mei also met several times, although each time it was not very pleasant.she
But she really didn't expect that Mei could push people into the dry well without blinking.

as predicted.

In the night, something happened.

Just after dinner, Yai brought people to Changxi Palace to invite Concubine Zhen in person.

"Concubine Zhen, the empress invites you to the Jiaofang Hall."

Concubine Zhen was reluctant at first.

Now that the queen is not favored and has no real power in her hands, if she needs to find her, she should come here in person.

Instead, let her pass.

But helplessly, the queen is still the queen, and she is just a little concubine now, so she can only go there once.

Although Concubine Zhen went, she was still resentful.

She thought to herself that she is a concubine who holds great power in her hands, why should she look at the face of a person who is despised by her.

Concubine Zhen just stepped into the Jiaofang Palace at this moment.

I couldn't help complaining.

"What the hell is this? I still have a bunch of ledgers that I haven't read yet."

When she said this, her voice was very loud, so that the queen could hear it clearly.

The queen sat on the bed, took a sip of tea leisurely, her gaze fell on Concubine Zhen lazily, "Sister Concubine Zhen is here?"

"Sister Zhenfei is also a busy person now, I can't even see you if I want to."

Before the Queen could say to sit down, Concubine Zhen had already sat down. She stroked her temples proudly, "It's not that I'm busy, but Your Majesty has entrusted me with the power to control the Six Palaces. I have to share the worries for Your Majesty."

"I don't know why the empress is looking for me today? If it's nothing important, I'm going back."

"Hey, what's the hurry, sister?"

The queen pulled him back, took a sip of tea slowly, and said, "It's natural that I have something to do to find my sister, and it's a big deal."

"Sister forgot, today is the day when the palaces go to the House of Internal Affairs to receive their monthly salary and other things."

When Concubine Zhen heard this, her whole body tensed up, waiting for the Queen's next words.

"But the girl from Jiaofangdian who went to receive her monthly salary today hasn't sent back her things, and she hasn't even returned until nightfall."

"I can't rest assured in the end."

The queen glanced at Concubine Zhen, "Let Yai take some young eunuchs out to look for it."

"Who knows, that palace lady is dead."

"Dead?" Concubine Zhen was taken aback, "How could he be dead?"

"Is my sister acting for me now?" The queen smiled meaningfully, "I still want to ask my sister about you, this palace lady... how did she die!?"

"Indeed, as my sister said, my sister is in charge of this harem. Usually, if other court ladies die, I can't take care of it, but now it's a servant of my palace who died, so I have no choice but to take care of it." .”

Concubine Zhen's face was ugly, and she smiled embarrassingly, "It's just a court lady, there are so many slaves serving in this palace, if I die today, I will die tomorrow, how can I care about it?"

"If my sister's palace really lacks such a maid, I will ask Qingliu to pick a smarter one for my sister and send it over some other day."

Concubine Zhen looked surprised.

The queen chuckled twice, "If that's the case, I wouldn't have asked my sister to come here. But the death of this court lady is really strange, she was... pushed into a dry well."

Concubine Zhen looked at the queen puzzled,

I thought the queen might be crazy?A court lady was pushed into a dry well, could the empress feel that she pushed it? !
The queen looked at Mei, Mei retreated respectfully, and a little eunuch came up after a while.

The little eunuch looked at the two masters and wives sitting above him, and knelt on the ground in fright without even lifting his head.

"See empress empress, see empress concubine Zhen."

"See empress empress, see empress concubine Zhen."

The queen interrupted him impatiently, "Speak up, tell me everything you know and see."

The little eunuch anxiously glanced at Concubine Zhen's direction, and said, "Slave, this slave is a servant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Today, this slave saw Tweety'er from Jiaofang Palace come to pick up something, and Eunuch He specifically asked which palace Tweety is from. As soon as Eunuch He heard that Tweety was from Jiaofang Palace, he immediately refused to give her the things...

The two had a quarrel, and the quarrel became more and more ugly. Eunuch He, Eunuch He gave her the things. "

Concubine Zhen frowned slightly upon hearing this.

She remembered that after that incident, she clearly instructed He Yue not to keep things from Jiaofangdian in the future.

He Yue clearly promised her, how could he turn around and do this?
"Did you hear that? Sister." The queen looked at Concubine Zhen, "This matter is not as simple as you think. If only a court lady died, I wouldn't come here personally to find you."

"In this situation, it is clear that He Yue is dissatisfied with me!"

"After he had a dispute with Tweety, he was still dissatisfied that Tweety took the things away, so he followed behind."

"Push Tweet down together with the things."

Yai said in a deep voice, "When Tweety was salvaged, she was still holding the things in her hands tightly."

The queen looked at Concubine Zhen, whose face was as white as paper, and smiled coldly, "A servant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs dare not oppose me. Someone must be behind him. Are you right? Sister Zhenfei."

Concubine Zhen's eyes flickered slightly, "This, this..."
