The crabapple tree is fragrant in the tent, and the bright moon is in my arms

Xiao Xiazi couldn't help it and stepped forward: "Godfather, shall we go and invite the queen?"

Huang Quan knelt on the ground: "It's useless."

He looked at the rain curtains in the sky, and his voice was full of vicissitudes and weakness: "My child, from now on, Concubine Zhao will be the only master in the harem. Do you... understand?"

"The master of the harem is not the queen..." Xiao Xiazi was stared at by him, and quickly lowered his head and swallowed all the words: "Yes."

Huang Quan was helped up by him: "Prepare all the water, His Majesty will not stay here overnight."

"Yes."

a long time.

Zhu Dingyuan came out, threw the whip to Huang Quan, reached out to touch the falling raindrops, and laughed happily: "Return to the Yangxin Palace."

"Show the Palace of Nourishing Heart!"

-

Early winter has gone, and cold winter is coming. It seems that it will snow at any time. The palace roads in the imperial city are cold and damp, the tiles are bleak in color, and there is a faint smell of blood, which makes everyone feel terrified and their faces turn pale when talking about birthday banquets.

Chuntang Palace.

Concubine Fang stood outside the palace, looking at the flowers in the pond.

When Zhao Yue was helped over by He Quan, she quickly stretched out her hand: "Hurry up and sit down. I can't wait to see you when I know you're awake."

Zhao Yue was still a little weak. She bowed and said, "I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine."

Concubine Fang frowned and forcibly pulled her to sit on the stool: "What are you doing? How did I get the position of imperial concubine? It's all thanks to my sister."

Zhao Yue shook her head: "I bowed, not only to greet my sister, but also to thank her for saving me yesterday."

Concubine Fang's expression improved a little, "That cat belongs to Concubine Gao. You were poisoned yesterday. I don't know how chaotic the scene was. His Majesty killed the people in the imperial kitchen for you."

She was worried: "There were at least dozens of people who handled the imperial kitchen, and they were all executed overnight."

Zhao Yue's cheeks turned pale: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"I'm not telling you this to make you blame His Majesty, and it's not your fault in the first place, but to remind you that the hat of the evil concubine will be put on your head from now on."

Concubine Fang held her hand and said, "His Majesty dotes on you, but his behavior is really absurd. Now that His Majesty's promotion decree has not yet been delivered, I cannot manage the six palaces legitimately. I am afraid that you will be subject to a lot of rumors."

She sighed, "In the harem, three people can make a tiger, and gossip can melt gold. When the Queen Mother returns to the palace..."

Zhao Yue looked at her anxious expression and felt a little warm in her heart: "Sister, have you found the murderer?"

"No, His Majesty has confined Concubine Gao to her home, but he has not imposed a severe punishment on her." Concubine Fang bit her lip, a little hesitant.

"Also, Your Majesty seemed to have gone to Concubine Gao's place last night...last night."

Zhao Yue lowered her eyes.

"Don't be sad. The imperial concubine has been favored for a long time, and His Majesty still has her in his heart. Look, the Chuntang Palace that His Majesty renovated for you is so beautiful, and even the swing in your Ningzhu Pavilion has been moved here."

Concubine Fang comforted her: "What happened in the past is in the past. Just take care of yourself."

Zhao Yue's eyes fell on the swing, then looked at the crabapple trees in the pond, and said, "I'm not sad. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and your heart is unpredictable. I'm just afraid... I'm lucky I didn't die this time, but next time..."

"Pooh, pooh, pooh." Concubine Fang quickly stopped her.

"You have become the head of a palace, and your position may have changed. They should think twice before trying to harm you."

Concubine Fang poured her a cup of hot tea and said, "What I'm worried about is that Concubine Gao might want to harm you at the birthday banquet."

"Who else could it be?" Zhao Yue chuckled, his eyes filled with aggrieved and slightly pitiful expression.

Concubine Fang looked around and lowered her voice: "Empress."

"Sister!" Zhao Yue was so frightened that she almost spilled her tea.

"The Queen has an heir and is the head of the harem. I am just a small noble!"

Concubine Fang's expression remained unchanged: "In the past, the Queen was sick and weak, and always looked dignified and gentle, but now I don't know why her health is getting better and better. Sister, you are still too young."

She took a sip of hot tea and said, "The reason why the queen can become the queen is not just an empty title. If she didn't fight for it before, it was just because of her body. Now that she has a dragon heir and her body is well, why doesn't she fight for it?"

Zhao Yue was silent for a long time, then smiled faintly: "After listening to your words, I suddenly understand something."

"Sister is not trying to scare you, I am afraid of you..." Concubine Fang sighed, "I am afraid that you will be harmed for no reason."

Zhao Yue coughed a few times, still looking sick and exhausted: "I've remembered everything, sister. I'll be careful."

"If I can protect you, I will definitely do so." Concubine Fang ruffled her hair and said, "Since I have received your kindness, I will definitely repay you."

Zhao Yue stood up and said, "It's enough for me to hear your words."

He Quan stood not far away, looking at them, his lotus eyes as clear as water.

Xiao Yinzi moved over and said, "Hello, Manager Quan."

He Quan hummed: "Does your queen always talk so much?"

"I am happy to see your young mistress, and so am I. I am also happy to see Chief Steward Quan."

"..." He Quan took a step to the side: "My young lady is not in good health, the remaining poison has not been cleared, she can't be exposed to the wind for too long."

"Yes, it's because my queen is in good health, mighty and domineering, and has..." Xiao Yinzi said happily.

A knife flew past, and the air pressure around him solidified instantly.

Xiao Yinzi swallowed her saliva and heard He Quan say lightly: "Your queen is leaving."

Over there, Concubine Fang stood up and said, "You should take a rest. I just talked to you for a while, and you look like a fairy in a storybook. It makes my heart flutter."

"Sister!" Zhao Yue's cheeks flushed: "Little Quanzi, see the queen off."

"No need." Concubine Fang put her hand on the silver and said, "I know the way."

He Quan supported Zhao Yue and let her lean on him: "Empress Fang is worried about the young lady."

"She told me to be careful of the queen." Zhao Yue pointed at the swing and motioned He Quan to sit on it.

After he sat down, Zhao Yue sat in his arms and closed her eyes lazily: "Zhu Dingyuan has changed many people again."

"Yes, the number of servants serving the young master in the outer courtyard has doubled. They are all newly selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They do not have the complicated connections of the various palaces, but..." He Quan chuckled: "Basically, they are all stuffed in by servants."

Zhao Yue snorted: "You are so bad."

"I'm not a bad servant. Will you like me, young lady?" He Quan reached out and stroked her ears: "He even replaced the chief guard of the Jinyiwei."

Zhao Yue opened his eyes and yawned: "All the servants in the palace are yours, so let me choose the position of the chief guard."

He Quan pretended to think, touched her delicate skin with his fingertips, and looked at her flickering eyes: "I think this matter..."

Zhao Yue frowned: "Hmm?"

"Whatever the young lady says is what it is." He Quan's eyes flashed with desire, and he lowered his voice: "In addition to having a good eye, Concubine Fang also speaks well."

"Which sentence?"

"My young lady is like a fairy from a storybook. When I look at her for a few times, I can't help but feel...agitated."

His fingertips fell on his pale red lips, and Zhao Yue was embarrassed and angry: "Taoxi will see it when she comes out!"

"I don't care about that."

-

The swallows return to the garden.

"My lady, Miss Taoxi said that Miss Zhao has woken up." Baoer handed the cloak to Hua Da Ying and asked her to put it on.

"I went to bed early yesterday. Is there any movement?"

"Your Majesty stayed for an hour and then left. Then I saw..." Bao'er lowered her voice: "My lady, you guessed right. Miss Gao came out of the room in a panic."

"It's hard for you to stay up all night and watch."

Hua Ni pinched Bao Er's face affectionately: "It rained heavily yesterday. The air is good today. Let's go for a walk outside."

"it is good!"
