After a simple breakfast, Su Minglang finally calmed down, and Xiaoye also restrained himself and stopped teasing her.
"Xiao Ye, go to Taiji Palace later and deliver a message, saying that I have something to ask you."
"Yes, Master." Xiao Ye suddenly became serious when talking about business. "But Your Majesty hasn't even seen the Queen, aren't you afraid..."
"It's okay. He will see me."
Su Minglang curled her lips, "He needs me right now. I'm rushing to find him. I'm afraid he's overjoyed!"
Li Zhao has not been able to come up with any results, and no one has been blamed for the death of the palace maid. The threat to the Li family is far from being resolved. I'm afraid the Li family is getting extremely worried now.
"By the way, why has Concubine Shu been so obedient these past few days?" Su Minglang half-rested his chin and muttered in confusion: "Logically speaking, shouldn't she strike while the iron is hot and cause more trouble for Xiao Heng?"
"She's not in any trouble, is she?"
Just as Su Minglang thought, Concubine Gu also encountered trouble, and it was trouble that she could not solve by herself.
"Why! Why!" Concubine Gu was throwing things in the hall at this moment, and the broken porcelain covered the corners of the hall. "She is just a palace maid, why can't I touch her!"
"Tell me! Tell me! Why did my father not allow me to do it?" Concubine Gu grabbed the teacup at hand and threw it at Ah Fu.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Please be careful with your hands!" Ah Fu looked at Concubine Shu with distress as she touched the broken tea sets without any scruples, as if she didn't feel the pain, even though blood was already flowing down her forehead.
"Why? Tell me why?" After venting her anger, Concubine Gu was already out of strength. She collapsed on the steps, her eyes filled with tears.
"My Gu family is at least the descendant of a famous official, and I am at least a concubine. My position in the palace is second only to the queen. Why, why should I give in to a mere maid?"
"Why should I give in to a bitch who hides herself all day long? Why!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down! Please don't get yourself hurt by being angry!" Ah Fu knelt down beside her, crying bitterly, and hurriedly wiped away her tears. "Lord Gu must have his reasons for doing this, Your Majesty, please be patient, Your Majesty!"
"Patience? Why should I be patient?" Concubine Gu pushed Ah Fu away and glared at him angrily: "It was him who wanted me to enter the palace, and it was also him who wanted me to compete for favor. I finally got this position, and now he wants me to be patient?"
"I can't stand it! I can't stand it!"
"He sent me into the palace and asked me to share a husband with other women. I tolerated it."
"She wants me to curry favor with her every day just to buy a better future for her son. I will put up with it!"
"I can't stand it any more! I can't stand it any more!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Ah Fu crawled to her side on his knees and supported Concubine Shu's shaky body. "Your Majesty, we should make decisions after careful consideration. You have endured for so many years. Please be patient for a while longer. Please be patient for a while longer!"
"Look, you are a concubine now. When you become a noble concubine, you will become the queen in the future..."
"You are the only concubine left in this palace. Won't the position of queen be yours in the future? When that time comes, no matter who he is, he will not be able to influence you!"
"My queen, my queen! Don't cry, my queen!"
Concubine Gu had already lost her strength and was staring outside the door with lifeless eyes. Two strong maids were standing in front of the hall.
"I only thought of them as my own people, ha!" Concubine Gu sneered, her eyes filled with flames of hatred: "But I never thought that the master in their eyes has never been me!"
"Father, father? What a great skill you have!"
"My Queen..." Ah Fu looked at her with heartache, hating himself for being powerless.
"Just take a break, madam, you are too tired."
Just when Concubine Gu was feeling smug about getting rid of the bitch, there was no news from the palace for a long time, until the news of a palace maid's death in Taiji Palace spread along with the rumor of buying and selling palace maids.
However, unlike what she had imagined, instead of being outraged in the palace, the news was suppressed and no one wanted it to leak out. Even Concubine Shu realized that the maid she had executed was not the pregnant one.
She had anticipated many methods to be used in the next test, but she did not expect to wait for her father's rare visit.
But the expected warmth did not happen, instead I got a severe scolding.
Lord Gu accused her of being unambitious and cruel, not giving Concubine Shu even a chance to defend herself. He scolded his daughter from beginning to end, then coldly ordered her not to interfere in the affairs of Taiji Palace and turned and left.
There is no greeting about her at all.
Even though Concubine Shu had prepared herself mentally, she was still hurt by him.
"However, how come father is so well-informed?" Concubine Gu Shu calmed down for a rare moment, and began to sense something was wrong. "The news of a palace maid being pregnant is just a rumor in the harem, and no one has confirmed it yet. How can father be so sure that someone is pregnant with the prince?"
"Perhaps, maybe Lord Gu is just worried about what might happen?" Lai Fu said tentatively, "If a palace maid is really pregnant, it will be difficult for you to get out of it if you are involved. Lord Gu is thinking about you."
"Bah!" Concubine Gu sneered and said mercilessly: "He is just afraid that something will happen to me and his precious son will be implicated!"
After this incident, Concubine Gu was probably completely desperate about the Gu family and Lord Gu.
"There are several people in my palace who I brought from home. It seems that they will not be loyal to me. Lai Fu, pick two obedient and useful ones. I can't be controlled by others anymore!"
"Now that I have already taken the throne of a concubine, even if I am not the most powerful one in the harem, if we really follow the law, then I am the master and they are just subjects!"
"I can compromise for them once or twice, just as a way of repaying their kindness of giving birth to me, but I still need to fight for my future myself, and I must not listen to them in everything!"
"It's good that your majesty can have her own ideas!" Lai Fu couldn't help but smile with relief when he saw that she had finally woken up from her sorrow. "Your majesty, you just need to regard them as your stepping stones. It is also the honor of the Gu family to wish you to ascend to a high position."
"Of course, I will definitely reach that position. I want to let them see what kind of achievements my daughter, whom they have always looked down upon, can make!"
