The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

"Now! Immediately! Move this dressing table out of here." Concubine Xian looked at the dressing table, and that scene kept appearing in her mind, and she couldn't help but feel angry.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Luqi lowered her head slightly and quickly ordered the eunuch to move the large dressing table into the courtyard.

The inner hall where Concubine Xian of Chaoyang Palace lived suddenly became much more spacious.

That night, as Concubine Xian was lying in bed, she couldn't help but talk in her sleep.

In the dream, a large number of eunuchs and palace maids came to seek revenge on her. They grabbed her neck and wanted to strangle her to death, threw her into a well and drowned her, or hanged her...

And Xiang's pale face with blood flowing...

She looked at the suffocating scenes appearing before her eyes and was suddenly awakened by a nightmare.

"don't want--"

When she woke up, it was pitch black all around her and she began to feel scared again.

Shouting "Luqi!" to the outside of the palace.

After a while, Luqi came hurriedly.

"Empress! What's wrong with you?" Luqi asked with concern.

"Light the lamp for me quickly! Light the lamp for me from now on!" said the virtuous concubine with pale lips.

"Slave, you obey!"

"Go get me a cup of tea!"

As Concubine Xian looked at Luqi's hurriedly walking away, her eyes instantly turned cold.

"Song Nanxiang, do you think you can stop me by doing this? Can you keep your child? I won't let you have your way!"

"Hahaha!"

Then the virtuous concubine couldn't help laughing, a little crazy, with some mockery and disdain.

When she woke up the next day, there were two very obvious shadows around Concubine Xian's eyes.

Although she lit the lights in the inner hall, she still dreamed of the horrific scenes that took her life. She was awakened by fear five or six times that night.

Both pairs of eyes were already red.

……

After the incident in the imperial kitchen that almost harmed Nanxiang, everyone in the harem immediately became panic-stricken.

The one who reacted most strongly was Song Wanru from Yufu Palace.

You must know that since entering the palace, she always ordered all kinds of food in the imperial kitchen, desserts, syrups, Buddha jumps over the wall, stir-fried phoenix tongue, braised shark fin, and pork loin...

Now, hearing that the food made by the imperial kitchen almost poisoned the two personal maids of Wangyueju to death, she suddenly developed an inexplicable resistance to the things they sent.

"Vanilla! Can we make our own food from now on?"

Song Wanru looked at the sumptuous food on the table but had no desire to eat it, so she thought of cooking in her own yard.

She had heard that Song Nanxiang's Wangyueju would cook her own food in the future, and she was very envious.

"My lady! You are now promised a position. You only live in an inner hall of Yufu Palace, and you do not have the right to manage the kitchen of Yufu Palace. If the emperor or empress finds out, it will be a violation of palace rules." Xiangcao said slowly.

When Song Wanru heard this, she couldn't help but look angry, and then she felt powerless.

"From now on, everything sent from the imperial kitchen must be checked by me to see if it is poisonous before serving it. Do you understand?" Song Wanru frowned and said.

She knew that in the harem now, many things had to be done according to palace rules, and she was powerless to have some privileges, after all, she had never served the emperor in bed yet.

"I understand." Vanilla said in a low voice.

Last time, Queen Chen said she wanted to reminisce about the past, but it turned out that she was just bringing up old issues at the banquet and told her not to take it to heart.

Song Wanru treated what she said as bullshit. After all, the Queen made her embarrass herself in front of so many female ministers. How could she just say "don't mind it"?

From this conversation with the Queen, she also knew that the Queen was just using her as a pawn, but wasn't she also using the Queen as a means to win the Emperor's favor?

……

Wangyueju.

Nanxiang sat on the couch, drinking warm water, looking at the notes, waiting for the small notebook to bring the results of the task assigned to him yesterday.

Not long after, Xiao Benzi walked in with a smile.

"Your Majesty! Mission accomplished. The one from Chaoyang Palace was obviously frightened. He took the dressing table from the house to the courtyard and burned it. This action was even interrogated by the Queen. The one from Chaoyang Palace explained that the dressing table was infested with termites."

Xiao Benzi spoke slowly with a smile on his face. The task assigned to him by Nan Xiang this time was not difficult, but the reward was extremely high, a small box of silver, which was enough for him to buy a house for his old mother outside the palace.

"Well done! What's Concubine Xian's reaction? How's her complexion?" Nan Xiang said tenderly. She could already imagine how scared Concubine Xian must have been after seeing the severed hand.

A normal person would be frightened upon seeing the dead body of a cat or dog. If it was a human hand, it would be unreasonable not to be frightened and have a nightmare.

"I heard from the palace maids that the virtuous concubine woke up several times in one night and called the servants several times, making it impossible for them to sleep well!"

Nanxiang calmly raised the warm water, took a sip, and was particularly satisfied with the result.

Although this was just a threat, if Concubine Xian does anything excessive again, it will not be just a threat.

Nanxiang didn't intend to make a big deal out of it, but she had to fight back, otherwise she would be looked down upon by the other party.

It should be noted that ancient people believed in ghosts and gods the most. The fact that the severed hand could make the virtuous concubine wake up several times overnight is proof of this.

Moreover, Nanxiang also believed that Concubine Xian would not dare to tell anyone about the severed hand. Not to mention that Gu Junshen had no feelings for her at all, if Gu Junshen found out the owner of the severed hand, Concubine Xian would definitely be suspected.

All her efforts over the years may come to naught.

Then Nanxiang smiled and said to the little notebook, "Reward! I'll ask Kikuhei to reward you more later!"

"Thank you, Madam!"

……

Listen to Xuetang.

Lily looked at Su who was eating with some concern, and asked in confusion, "My lady! You have clearly heard about the incident in the imperial kitchen, why are you still eating so happily?"

The meal sent from the imperial kitchen today was particularly sumptuous, as if to apologize to the concubines in the harem.

However, only a few concubines could accept it, and most people had already felt alienated.

"What's there that I can't eat? I think what I have now is the safest." Su ate slowly in small bites, not caring at all.

The imperial kitchen has already aroused public anger. If they were to tamper with the food at this time, they would be dead.

It should be noted that all the chefs in the imperial kitchen have been replaced, and even the eunuchs who deliver meals every day have been transferred from other places.

The eunuchs and palace maids who were once popular in the imperial kitchen have now become the most unpopular people in all the palaces. It is their own fault.

"Really?" Lily still had some doubts.

"Okay! Help me clean up! I have to go to the Imperial Garden to meet the Emperor later." Su finished eating hurriedly, glanced at Lily and gave the order.

"Yes! My Lord!"

……

Wangyueju.

At this time, there were many delicious dishes on Nanxiang's table, all of which were spicy.

Of course there isn’t much chili, but there is some in almost every dish.

"Empress! Is it okay for you to eat such spicy food?" Juping said slowly.

Originally, Kikuhei planned to make lighter meals for Nanxiang, but Nanxiang asked her to make them spicier.

Kikuhei really couldn't understand it.

"I've been liking spicy food lately. Don't worry, I only eat a small amount!" Nanxiang smiled and slowly ate the food in front of her.

Of course she didn't like spicy food, she just wanted to show off to some people in the harem.

So that they won't make wild guesses.
