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

Fengyi Palace.

Concubine Ling grabbed a handful of Concubine Qi's melon seeds and said, "Hey, did you see the Queen's expression?"

Concubine Qi frowned. She thought about the cold eyes of His Majesty towards her, and then saw that her melon seeds were eaten by Concubine Ling. She became even more angry: "Didn't you say that something happened to Concubine Shen?"

"You are pregnant with the dragon heir, and you have been taking care of the baby every day without any news. Do you know what happened to Shen Da Ying?"

"What's wrong?" Concubine Qi couldn't help but lean forward out of curiosity.

The two former sisters, now concubines of strangers, came together again.

Concubine Ling's narrow eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Shen promised her... Oh, you are pregnant, you can't listen to these, otherwise you will be frightened and miscarry, and blame this palace."

Concubine Qi's curiosity was piqued, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Just tell me! Ling Yuanyi, stop keeping me in suspense!"

Concubine Ling clapped her fingers, put on the armor, stood up, turned around, and hummed a tune: "I watched her build a red building, I watched her entertain guests, and I watched her building collapse."

She lowered her head and looked away, her steps drifting like clouds, and she smiled happily while twirling her orchid fingers: "The beauty is still here, but the love is gone. I will sit leaning against the incense burner until dawn, hahahaha!"

Concubine Qi looked at her back and suddenly looked at Xiao He.

Xiao He held the melon seeds in her hands and said, "My Lady, Imperial Concubine Zhaochun has been confined to her house."

Main hall.

The queen sat on the couch, clenched the jade cup in her hand, her lips moving, her smile growing wider and wider, until finally she laughed so hard that tears came out.

Xun Qiu stood by and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhaochun is done. The Queen Mother will come back with the abbot."

“Hahahahaha Zhaoyue.” The queen’s eyes were cold and gloomy. “Did you see His Majesty’s cold eyes towards her? Did you see His Majesty’s alienation? How can a woman be compared with the destiny of a country!”

The sky outside was dark and cold, and there was no sign of life.

"She is still pretending to be pitiful and asking to be confined to her room. His Majesty has already dismissed the son of the Minister of Rites. She will not be able to turn things around this time!"

"The high priest." Xun Qiu was a little worried: "The high priest is not under the jurisdiction of the royal family, and his temper is strange. If she finds out..."

The queen sneered, "High Priest, what are you afraid of an old woman who pretends to be a ghost, huh? After tonight, everyone will know that the Imperial Observer died unexpectedly, and she will never be able to get rid of the title of a demon concubine! Hahahaha!"

"Your Majesty is wise."

Xun Qiu handed her the pills and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want the Queen to bury Ms. Shen, or keep it until the abbot arrives to check it out?"

"No need to look. As long as Zhaoyue appears, there will be something strange. The Queen Mother is a Buddhist, so she should be terrified if she sees her. As I remember... Mrs. Shen has never been in bed with me?"

"Yes."

The queen frowned, swallowed the pill, and drank a few sips of tea: "The doctor doesn't want such a woman, find a few brave men, take care of it, and then send it to the doctor."

"Yes." Xun Qiu continued, "There is no one to sweep the Houhai Lake, and the snow is thick. Chen San has done a good job and will guard the Houhai Lake for the Empress. The palace maids who were left alone a few days ago can be sent out together."

"Is His Majesty still in the Hall of Supreme Harmony?"

"Summon Prince Duan Ze to the palace." Xun Qiu thought, "At this time, Prince Duan Ze should stay in the palace."

The queen stroked her belly, her eyes full of pride: "Don't even think about getting my throne!"

-

Suihe Palace.

Concubine Fang's heroic face was filled with worry. She kept pacing back and forth. She picked up her cloak and said, "No, I will go and beg His Majesty again!"

Xiao Yinzi said, "Your Majesty! Imperial Concubine Zhaochun is only under house arrest. There is still room for maneuver. His Majesty is angry. Wouldn't it only make him more angry if you go to plead for mercy?"

Cuiyun also held her back: "Xiao Yinzi is right, Madam, you have done your best. This time it's not someone trying to harm Imperial Concubine Zhaochun, it's a punishment from heaven!"

"Heavenly punishment?" Imperial Concubine Fang said in a louder voice, "If you believe this, why didn't my child go to kill Concubine Ling? Why didn't any so-called gods save me when she tortured me before?"

Cuiyun knelt on the ground: "My queen!"

Xiao Yinzi was silent for a while: "My queen, Concubine Zhaochun must have been framed. You must calm down now and think about the high priest that Concubine Zhaochun mentioned."

"The high priest." Concubine Fang's eyes were slightly red. "Zhao Yue mentioned the high priest, but I am powerless to meet the high priest. The high priest does not belong to the royal power and is independent from the outside."

"My queen, the high priest used to be in charge of the royal family law, called the witch official, and only the late emperor could control and give orders. In this case, she will definitely not favor anyone, and she will definitely clear the imperial concubine's name!"

Concubine Fang looked at him and said, "Things have changed, and the dynasty has changed. How can you know her current temperament? What should I do to save her? Do I have to ask the late emperor or the crown prince for help?"

Xiao Yinzi held her hand and said, "I will accompany you to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but you should not ask His Majesty for mercy. Go ask Huang Quan, the chief steward, and listen to what he says."

"You said that the Imperial Concubine took a sword and committed suicide, but Your Majesty caught it with his hands and seemed to say something while holding her. We don't know, but Huang Zongguan is Your Majesty's man, he must be able to guess how Your Majesty intends to deal with Imperial Concubine Zhaochun!"

Concubine Fang squeezed his hand and said, "Xiao Yinzi, are you saying that His Majesty might be...acting?"

"My lady, everyone knows that you are on good terms with Imperial Concubine Zhaochun. If you take a look at Steward Huang's attitude, you will surely be able to guess something."

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Huang Quan was standing outside the palace. When he saw Concubine Fang approaching in a hurry, he quickly stopped her and said, "My Lady Concubine Fang, it's late at night. What are you doing?"

"General Manager Huang, I want to see His Majesty."

He said in embarrassment: "My lady, if you want to plead for Concubine Zhaochun, His Majesty was very angry. Now he has finally calmed down a little and is playing chess with Prince Duanze. Please don't embarrass me."

Concubine Fang glanced at the door and handed over the food box: "General Manager Huang, this palace is not here for this matter, I just want to see His Majesty. I have made some hot porridge, you bring it in, and I will leave."

Huang Quan's smile was somewhat forced, as if he was afraid that the door would open, and he stopped it again: "My queen! Please go back!"

His eyes were comforting, and when he looked at Concubine Fang, he was inexplicably nervous: "My lady, please go back!"

Nervous, what is he nervous about?

Concubine Fang smiled slightly and said, "Well, I'll go back first. Please bring the hot porridge in later."

"Yes, Madam, take care." He tapped Xiao Xiazi and said, "Go, see Madam Fang off."

On the way, Concubine Fang held Xiao Yinzi's hand and calmed down.

"Madam, what did you guess?"

"The door is full of eunuchs. When the Imperial Guards saw me coming, they all put their hands on the hilts of their swords, fearing that I would barge in. If Prince Duan Ze entered the palace, why didn't he bring any followers with him?"

Concubine Fang smiled from her pale lips: "I'm afraid I'll force my way in, because Your Majesty..."

It’s not in the Hall of Supreme Harmony at all!
