The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

The news that Nanxiang was attacked by a group of cats on her way back to the palace after watching a play soon spread to the ears of concubines in other palaces.

Jingren Palace.

Queen Chen had just returned to her bedroom from Yufu Palace when she heard the news from her servants.

She frowned at first, then became sentimental.

She had originally intended to invite Song Nanxiang to stay in Yufu Palace longer and watch more operas, but she didn't expect that he almost saved her.

But the other party didn't appreciate it, and there was nothing Chen could say. He could only say that everyone has their own destiny.

If Song Nanxiang had been more tactful and stayed a little longer, perhaps this incident would not have happened and she would not have been so frightened.

Sometimes, people shouldn't be too smart.

However, as the queen, she still has to show some sincerity when something happens to the concubines in the harem.

"Caizhi! Take some supplements from the storehouse and send them to Concubine Shu. Tell her that I am not feeling well and I will not visit her. Tell her to take good care of herself and try to give birth to a prince for the emperor." Chen said slowly, her tone quite irritable.

These tonics were given to her by the Queen Mother to nourish her body. Now she has not used them herself, but they have been given to others in return.

If Song Nanxiang was still there, she would have wanted to send more so that the child could be fostered by her. Now that she has become the mistress of the palace, this child is very important.

It is not impossible to take the child away, but it requires some effort.

Thinking of this, she went straight to the study and began writing a letter to the empress dowager.

Nowadays, the emperor often goes to Wangyueju in the harem. It is difficult for other concubines to sleep with him, let alone children.

……

Yufu Palace.

After sending away these concubines, although Song Wanru was a little disappointed in her heart, her face still looked full of joy.

It was because today she saw the fascinated reactions of the concubines in the harem after watching the opera.

It was not without benefit that the Queen bestowed this incredible wealth upon her.

Isn’t that a benefit?

The concubines came to Yufu Palace every few days, and after a while, the emperor might come too.

Maybe it won’t take that long. Perhaps the emperor can hold the next palace banquet here.

As long as the stage is still there, the emperor will have plenty of opportunities to come here.

Thinking of this, Song Wanru's disappointment about the emperor's absence today suddenly dissipated a lot.

Seeing Xiangcao running over in a hurry, Song Wanru showed impatience and immediately scolded, "What are you so impatient about?"

"My lady! The concubine of Wangyueju was attacked by a cat on the way back to the palace. Although she was not injured, she was frightened." Xiangcao said with a look of neither joy nor anger on her face.

"Cat attack? When did the palace start keeping cats?" Song Wanru asked with some confusion.

"In the early years, there were concubines in the palace who kept cats, but in recent years, there have been fewer of them."

"So where did this cat come from?"

"Maybe... maybe it's a theatre troupe." Vanilla said in a panic.

This stage is an excellent tool for Song Wanru to gain the emperor's favor. If she doesn't even have this, he might get furious and beat her up.

"What? Don't talk nonsense in front of me!" Song Wanru said to Xiangcao viciously after hearing this.

This stage is now everything to her in the harem, and she will not allow anything to happen.

"My lady! This stage has nothing to do with the troupe. If the troupe makes a mistake, the emperor won't tear down the stage." Vanilla said in a sullen tone, becoming a little timid.

"If the emperor gets rid of this troupe, do you think he will look for another troupe outside the palace?"

Song Wanru's face was gloomy, with some indescribable complex emotions in her expression.

Although she was reluctant to admit in her heart that this opera troupe was most likely one of the culprits who framed Nanxiang, the ripples in her eyes revealed some loss and regret.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside Yufu Palace.

Soon, several guards with swords appeared in front of Song Wanru, with serious expressions on their faces.

"See you! We are here on the orders of the Emperor to seal up the stage."

The words of the sword-carrying guard made Song Wanru feel cold in her heart. She asked with a trembling voice, "Do you mean to dismantle the stage?"

"No! It's just a seal! Check to see if there's anything unclean."

Hearing this, Song Wanru felt relieved.

"It's good that the stage is not demolished! There is still a chance to restore it to the light of day!"

She kept comforting herself in her heart.

When she was panicking, she saw a familiar figure among the group of sword-wielding guards.

'How did he get into the palace?'

The guard with a sword raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Song Wanru, with a few bright lights flashing in his eyes.

……

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

After confirming that Song Nanxiang was fine, Gu Junshen stayed in the Yangxin Palace for half an hour and then returned to the memorials.

As the new emperor, he had endless state affairs to deal with every day, and the affairs of the harem already distracted him a lot.

He had no choice but to spend more time on state affairs.

After a while, Liu Sheng came to the Yangxin Palace with a heavy face.

"Your servant pays respect to His Majesty!"

"How is the investigation going?" Gu Junshen asked softly as he checked the memorial in his hand.

"Your Majesty! I have taken all the members of the troupe to jail as you ordered. However, after several interrogations, we did not gain much. Three male actors even committed suicide by taking poison. I think the other party was well prepared." Liu Sheng said, his voice trembling.

"I understand. How is Chaoyue Road handled?" Gu Junshen frowned slightly, a hint of annoyance creeping up his brows.

Something is bound to happen in the harem every few months.

When will his harem be able to behave itself?

"Your Majesty! After the imperial physician's examination, it was confirmed that it contained something that caused the cat to go crazy. With the use of special medication, the road has been cleaned."

After saying this, Liu Sheng finally felt a little more confident. After all, he had done a pretty good job on this matter.

"Go and search it carefully again. The troupe must have helpers to succeed in the harem. The rest of the troupe should be exiled to the Northern Territory. Give them a chance to live." Gu Junshen said this and continued to check the memorials.

"Slave, you obey!"

……

Listen to Xuetang.

When Su heard that Song Nanxiang was attacked by a cat on the way back to the palace, she didn't look very surprised. After all, that was how she got there.

But she didn't expect Song Nanxiang's luck to be so good that she could avoid the schemes of the people behind the scenes time and time again.

She felt a little admiration and jealous at the same time.

She didn't understand why God gave beauty and wisdom to one person...

……

Yufu Palace.

After inspecting the stage, the sword-wielding guards sealed it off and took away some props left by the troupe. They also found some special powders and cat hair on the props.

Song Wanru looked at the familiar face and felt flustered.

His eyes dodged involuntarily.

Before leaving, the guard with the sword gave Song Wanru a deep look, with an indescribable loneliness in his eyes.
