Quick Wear: I am a good female supporting role

Chapter 26 The Imperial Concubine’s Favor 10

The winter snow has melted, and New Year’s Eve is almost here.

Chu Lingruo has been obsessed with all kinds of books recently and doesn't want to leave.

She didn't care much about the affairs of the harem, and no one dared to make trouble for her.

I heard that Liu Luoyao was tortured by the concubines. Although her life was not in danger, she lost a lot of weight.

When Chu Lingruo first heard the news, she frowned slightly. Doesn't the dog emperor love Liu Luoyao? Why doesn't he care?

Later, Chu Lingruo found out that Mu Hexuan was afraid that overprotecting Liu Luoyao would only arouse the jealousy of the concubines.

Because he had previously set up a character that loved Chu Lingruo, Mu Hexuan always felt that Chu Lingruo loved him hopelessly, and was very jealous of his beloved Liu Luoyao, fearing that Chu Lingruo would see him being too nice to Liu Luoyao and then attack Liu Luoyao.

But the reality is that Chu Lingruo has been staying in Chongluan Palace reading books these days and has no time to take care of Liu Luoyao.

Chu Lingruo: .....I don’t really understand Mu Hexuan’s train of thought.

After all, he is the emperor. If Mu Hexuan protects him wholeheartedly, the other concubines will not dare to do anything.

"Your Majesty, it's time to get ready for tonight's palace banquet." Xia Zhu said respectfully beside Chu Lingruo.

The New Year’s Eve palace banquet is a tradition of the Wei State.

Every year the emperor would hold a banquet in the palace with his concubines and the close families of his ministers.

Originally, Ling Ruo was in charge of these banquet matters, but the original owner did not like to worry about these things, so she handed it over to other concubines, with Concubine Lian as the main one and the other concubines as auxiliary ones, who were responsible for all matters related to the palace banquet.

"Empress." Shuhua looked at Liu Luoyao, who had lost weight and looked a little haggard, with heartache.

"Shuhua, do you think Brother Xuan really loves me?" Liu Luoyao's face was a little pale. She had been quite frightened these days.

Because the group of concubines in Mu Hexuan's harem used some despicable means to scare her all day long. The concubines did not dare to go too far, and they kept a certain degree, which made Liu Luoyao quite miserable. Liu Luoyao stroked her pointed belly.

Mu Hexuan, who said he loved her, did not stand up for him, because the concubines who bullied Liu Luoyao all had some value in their families. Mu Hexuan just told her to be patient, and after getting rid of the Chu family, he would definitely punish those concubines.

I feel a little bitter in my heart.

Shuhua, who was standing by, saw that his queen was so sad and thought that Concubine Ling must be unhappy because of her pregnancy, so she instigated other concubines in the harem to do this, making the queen restless all day long.

He also recalled that Liu Luoyao's younger brother Liu Xiao was sentenced to death because of Concubine Ling's brother, and he hated her even more.

Shuhua actually loves Liu Xiao in her heart. She could have become Master Liu Xiao's maid, but because of her ordinary appearance, Liu Xiao did not accept her, which made Shuhua very sad for a while.

Now that Master Xiao is dead, and Miss Liu Luoyao is walking on thin ice in the harem because of the Imperial Concubine, Shuhua hates Chu Lingruo to death.

She thought of a brilliant plan, to put aphrodisiacs in the imperial concubine's wine, and then induce the imperial concubine to have an affair with other men, so that the imperial concubine would be skinned alive if she didn't die.

No matter how powerful the Chu family is, it would still suffer some damage if such a scandal happened.

Shuhua has already made up her mind. Even if she sacrifices her life, she will also make the imperial concubine suffer! Pave the way for the young lady. When something goes wrong, she will say that it was her own fault and it has nothing to do with Liu Luoyao.

It must be said that Shuhua is really naive and a little stupid. If something really happens to Chu Lingruo, not only will Shuhua be in trouble, but Liu Luoyao and the emperor will also be in trouble.

When she arrived at the scene, Lingruo sat next to the emperor. Since there was no queen now, she was the most important one in the harem.

The palace was brightly lit, the sound of stringed instruments was heard, and the ministers and royal relatives attending the banquet entered the palace one after another.

Mu Yuanjing was also present. He was wearing an ink-black robe with a jade belt around his waist. The hem of his robe was like flowing clouds, and his tall and graceful figure was like the breeze and the bright moon.

As soon as he arrived, the surrounding scenery seemed to be brighter, and everyone in the palace was impressed by the good looks of Night Prince Mu Yuanjing.

Chu Lingruo, who was sitting high on the stage, naturally also saw Mu Yuanjing, and she curled her lips slightly.

Mu Hexuan sat in the main seat and after exchanging greetings with the officials, there was singing and dancing at the banquet.

Chu Lingruo put the white flour cake into her mouth. Well, she had to say that the cooking skills of the imperial chefs in the palace were really good.

Chu Lingruo glanced at the maids beside Liu Luoyao at the banquet, and then looked at the fruit wine on the table. Chu Lingruo secretly mocked herself, thinking that the maids beside Liu Luoyao were really stupid, and dared to put something in her wine.

But it didn't matter, Chu Lingruo had already asked Jiang Yi to get the antidote for the aphrodisiac fruit wine and took it in advance. Besides, Chu Lingruo glanced at Mu Hexuan next to her.

Mu Hexuan was holding up the fruit wine and drinking it. The sweet grape wine tasted very good, and even Mu Hexuan, who didn't care much about food, drank a few more glasses.

Judging from the time, the effect of the medicine will take effect after the banquet.

"I feel a little unwell, so I'll leave first." After drinking a few glasses of fruit wine, Chu Lingruo's face was slightly red.

Shuhua, who was standing next to Liu Luoyao, watched this scene and was overjoyed. It was almost over, so Shuhua quietly retreated.

He just followed the imperial concubine not too far away. Shuhua secretly spent some money to let those eunuchs lead away the palace maids around the imperial concubine.

Shuhua bribed a young palace maid beside the imperial concubine. Of course, Lingruo also secretly instigated it. Most of the palace maids in Chu Lingruo's palace were loyal, and those who had other thoughts were sent away by Chu Lingruo with a reason long ago.

If Chu Lingruo had not guided her little maid, how could she have bribed the maids around the imperial concubine with her calligraphy and painting?

Shuhua was quietly following Chu Lingruo not far away. Chu Lingruo had already noticed it and followed the palace maid step by step to the side hall.

It was quiet all around, but there was a guard hiding in the side hall.

This guard was also hired by Shuhua, who only said that he was looking for a beautiful palace maid as his lover, and they were just waiting to get married tonight.

If the guard knew that the so-called palace maid lover that Shuhua found for him was actually the imperial concubine who was framed, he would definitely not dare to do it. After all, he also wanted his nine clans to be well off. Wouldn't it be a crime to risk his life to touch the emperor's woman?

Chu Lingruo was almost there, and curled her lips. She made a gesture, and Jiang Yi, who was far away, quickly took down the calligraphy and painting and pressed her down in front of the imperial concubine.

"What? You want to harm me? You are still a little naive." Chu Lingruo chuckled, her eyes full of coldness.

"How could that be? Why didn't you get the aphrodisiac?" Looking at the bribed little palace maid standing respectfully behind the imperial concubine, there was nothing she didn't understand about calligraphy and painting.

Her plan failed.

"Please spare my life, Imperial Concubine. Please spare my life." Shuhua was scared at this time, and kowtowed frantically on the ground, making a bang-bang-bang sound.

Not interested in Shuhua's begging for mercy, Chu Lingruo asked Jiang Yi to knock Shuhua unconscious and then threw him into a side hall.

It goes without saying what will happen next.

When Chu Lingruo was about to return to the palace, she saw a familiar figure.

It’s Mu Yuanjing.

He saw it all.
