My Lady is well

Yong'an Palace.

The Queen has been claiming to be ill for several days in a row, and Concubine Jiang, Concubine Wen Shufei and Concubine Song Rong are taking care of her.

Concubine Song Rong's face didn't look very good. No matter how dumb she was, she knew that if anything happened to the Queen, she would really have no protection in the harem.

I always thought that with more time, the emperor would definitely like her.

Now, she could only see the emperor when the emperor came to Yong'an Palace to visit the queen.

"Cousin, how have you been feeling these days?"

The queen glanced at her and truly regretted bringing her in.

The emperor didn't even look at her, but just gave her the title of Rongfei because her last name was Song.

She is stupid and has no grace, and she hopes that she can take her place in the future.

It’s just a ridiculous dream!

Last time at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, he couldn't even say a single auspicious word. He didn't even bother to say "long and blessed life", but insisted on adding "a house with many children and grandchildren".

The Queen Mother's face turned dark on the spot.

The queen had no time to pay attention to her. She just shook her head and said, "You go back first."

Concubine Song Rong glanced angrily at Concubine Wen Shu and Concubine Jiang, thinking to herself that this cousin must be sick and confused.

What are they discussing? And they are doing it behind her back.

How could these two be good people?

My cousin is just worried that if something happens to her in the future, it will be bad for Cheng'an if Concubine Li becomes the queen.

Just wait and see. Once she overthrows Concubine Li, her cousin will naturally look at her differently.

She stood up, bowed slightly to the queen, and left Yong'an Palace.

The queen looked at her figure and felt a headache.

Concubine Jiang advised: "Empress Rong has the mind of a child. You don't have to bother with her. It's more important to take care of yourself."

The Queen sighed deeply and said, "If she is half as sensible as her two younger sisters, I will be relieved."

"Now that Shen Yueyao is back, the emperor treats her differently. I heard that the emperor allowed her to go to Zelu Palace every day to accompany him. When the emperor ascended the throne, he had intended to make her a concubine, but after a trip to Liufengxuan, he became a different person and forbade anyone to mention her name. Even I only found out later that her position was a concubine. She was quite capable. She burned down Luhua Pavilion and faked her death to escape from the palace. All these things would have killed anyone else several times. But the emperor loved her so much that he personally went out of the palace to bring her back. It seems that she will have to return to the position of concubine sooner or later."

She glanced at Concubine Wen Shu, and her eyes darkened visibly.

When she first entered the Eastern Palace, the Emperor was quite nice to her and often played chess and drank tea with her.

Now, it has been more than a month since he last stepped into her palace.

Concubine Wen Shu curled her lips lightly and said, "Yes, this sister Shen is really capable. Not only does the emperor like her, but even the empress dowager often mentions her. Even for such a big thing as escaping from the palace, the empress dowager didn't say a word. But..."

The Queen frowned slightly and said, "Sister Wen, if you have anything to say, just speak up."

There was a hint of intriguing meaning in Concubine Wen Shu's eyes and a gentle smile on her face.

"But she has no children yet, and she is just a little Baolin, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Shen Yueyao is a wonderful person. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I am reluctant to become her enemy."

Concubine Jiang lowered her eyes and stroked the handkerchief with her fingers, thinking of the day when she met Shen Yueyao after returning from delivering the poisoned wine to Xu Niannian. The sharpness in her eyes was filled with murderous intent.

She felt that she and Shen Yueyao could not be friends, and Shen Yueyao and the Queen could not be friends either.

However, she has not yet joined the game.

Concubine Jiang said calmly, "Right now, it is more important to focus on dealing with Concubine Li."

The queen nodded and looked at her with a hint of approval in her eyes.

"Sister Jiang is always resourceful. Do you have any good ideas about this matter?"

Concubine Jiang lowered her eyebrows and spoke modestly.

"It's not very clever, but you can take some reference. Concubine Li is second only to you in the palace, and she is also deeply respected by the emperor. It may be difficult to start with her. However, the General's Mansion is not an iron wall. How much do you think the emperor trusts the Li family?"

The queen frowned, withdrew her gaze, stared at the tea table beside her, and pondered for a few breaths.

"It's hard to say."

"One point, just one point of doubt. The relationship between the emperor and General Li is like a thick wall. It looks solid on the outside, but once a crack appears, the crack will expand infinitely. Then the wall will collapse with just a slight push."

The queen thought about her words carefully. On the one hand, she admired her talent, but on the other hand, she was worried that she might not be as submissive to her as she appeared to be.

He calmly raised the corner of his mouth and praised.

"Sister is indeed very resourceful. I'm afraid it will be hard to find an opponent in this palace."

Her tone was somewhat intriguing. Concubine Jiang showed a look of panic, stood up, lowered her head and bowed.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. How dare I, with my limited knowledge, receive such praise from your Majesty?"

Concubine Wen Shu curled her lips and sipped the tea, secretly keeping an eye on Concubine Jiang.

Here, Concubine Song Rong was eager to prove herself, and someone gave her a bad idea to poison the well in Zhangtai Palace.

The nanny and the palace maid were both honest and simple people, yet they were forced by her to do this thing of poisoning a palace maid to death.

The nanny was so frightened that her legs were shaking and she couldn't even walk properly, as if her feet were slipping as if they were greased.

The two of them walked quickly to Merlin, found a secluded place, and discussed countermeasures.

Shen Yueyao slept until noon, and took a short nap after lunch. Only then did she remember the Queen's invitation yesterday.

Seeing the two men acting suspiciously halfway, he and Yun'er secretly followed them and hid behind a tree to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Oh, Mammy, what shall we do?"

"I don't know either. Is Concubine Rong confused? If she really poisons everyone in Zhangtai Palace to death, we will be doomed too."

Shen Yueyao gasped and her eyes widened in shock. So explosive?

Song Yayuan is truly amazingly smart!

The maid stamped her feet in fear: "What should I do, Madam? You have been in this palace for a long time, please give me some advice. I just entered the palace two years ago, and I don't want to die so young."

Mammy gritted her teeth and said, "In my opinion, we should change the medicine and sprinkle some laxatives into the well. Then we can say it was the medicine's problem and it has nothing to do with us."

The maid's eyes lit up: "Okay, let's do it. The master is confused, and we can't die with him."

Shen Yueyao thought that these two palace servants were clear-headed people.

As her eyes moved, a plan suddenly came to her mind.

She deliberately coughed lightly, and the nanny and the palace maid were all startled. They hurried forward to check, but there was no one there.

There was clearly someone there just now. If someone had overheard their conversation, Concubine Rong would be in big trouble.

The nanny took a closer look and found a sachet lying at her feet, which she thought was left by the person who had just eavesdropped.
