In the imperial study, Emperor Jianhe looked at an imperial guard kneeling on the ground in astonishment.
His secret guards had been searching for the Queen Mother for a month, but the old lady seemed to have disappeared without a trace. When he couldn't find her anymore, he decided to directly announce the Queen Mother's accidental death.
Anyway, the person is missing, and he has the final say on whether he is dead or alive.
Even if the Queen Mother appears in the future, he has a way to make her fake.
But now he was told that the Queen Mother's carriage was approaching the palace gate.
No, the guard came to report to him that this time was enough for the Queen Mother to reach the palace.
Emperor Jianhe gritted his teeth in hatred. This sinister and cunning woman...
"Walk."
Emperor Jianhe stood up and took Zhao Ren to greet the empress dowager.
The Empress Dowager's carriage stopped in front of Taihe Gate, where Emperor Jianhe, the Empress and many other concubines were waiting.
The guards brought the foot mat and put it down beside the carriage.
A slender hand lifted the curtain and Tazhi was the first to get off the carriage.
Immediately afterwards, Qingzhi supported the empress dowager and slowly walked out.
She was dressed in a golden phoenix robe, which was extremely gorgeous. Her eyes were deep and sharp. She glanced at everyone lightly, making people dare not look directly at her. Her aura was intimidating without even being angry.
"Your son pays his respects to the Queen Mother." Emperor Jianhe half-knelt and saluted the Queen Mother.
The queen and all the concubines followed suit and knelt down to pay their respects.
"Your Highness, may you live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
"Everyone, get up." Queen Mother Qin looked at everyone with a stern expression and said lightly.
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Emperor Jianhe looked at the empress dowager with a smile and said, "Mother, you have been exhausted from the journey. I will accompany you back to the palace."
The empress dowager raised her eyes and looked at Emperor Jianhe, and they could see the murderous intent in each other's eyes.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will go back by myself." The Queen Mother sneered and refused mercilessly.
The next moment, she said, "I returned to the palace suddenly, which disappointed the emperor."
Emperor Jianhe's expression froze slightly, and he almost couldn't maintain the filial piety on his face.
"Mother, you really love to joke with me. I am so happy to see you, how could I be disappointed?"
The Queen and all the concubines felt the tense atmosphere between the mother and son, and their hearts trembled, not daring to breathe.
In front of the Queen Mother, even the most arrogant concubine would wish she could shrink herself into a quail.
Queen Mother Qin smiled meaningfully, and Emperor Jianhe clearly saw the sarcasm on her face.
It’s just... quite infuriating!
Queen Mother Qin left with the palace maids.
Emperor Jianhe did not go to the Cining Palace, but the Empress and others did.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of Cining, I saw Yu En standing there with a smile on his face, one of his arms wrapped in a thick bandage and hanging above his neck.
"Your servant greets the Queen and all the masters." Yu En bowed.
The queen gave him a false helping hand and said, "Eunuch Yu, please get up."
The chief eunuch of the Cining Palace could be said to be the number one eunuch in the harem. Even though he was a servant, he represented the empress dowager when he went out, so the queen was naturally polite to him: "What's wrong with the eunuch's hand?"
Although the Queen was polite, Yu En did not dare to take advantage of her easily. After all, the master was the master, not to mention the mistress of the harem.
"Thank you, Queen. It's my own fault for being so stupid that I accidentally fell down the stairs and broke my hand."
"Eunuch Yu has suffered so much." Concubine Jiang pushed the Queen aside and said to Yu En with a beautiful smile, "I have a fifty-year-old ginseng. I'll send it to you later. You should take good care of yourself."
The queen glanced at her indifferently and said nothing.
Among all the concubines with outstanding looks, Concubine Jiang was undoubtedly the most extraordinary one. She was born with a beauty as graceful as a fairy, dignified and elegant. Wherever she stood, she was like peonies shrouded in smoke and flowers and trees piled with snow, making all the concubines in gorgeous costumes look dull.
Not to mention the concubines who had been in the palace for a long time, even the young concubines were jealous of Concubine Jiang's appearance.
God seemed to be particularly kind to her. Even though she already had a granddaughter, she was still breathtakingly beautiful. Time seemed to have stopped for her. Instead, she had become more charming than when she was young. She was undoubtedly the most beautiful woman in the harem. No wonder she had been favored by the emperor ever since she entered the palace.
She was spoiled by the emperor when she was young, and the longer the time went by, the more the emperor couldn't let her go.
Didn’t you say that you’ll get tired of aging and losing your looks?
What a hell.
Yu En looked at Concubine Jiang flattered, bowed and said, "Then I would like to thank the Concubine for her grace first."
Concubine Jiang covered her mouth and chuckled: "You are too polite, eunuch."
Concubine Xian glanced at Concubine Jiang with a sidelong glance. She was so pretentious at her age and didn't even feel annoyed.
But the emperor just fell for her tricks. If any of them did the same thing, it would be disgusting and make people want to vomit.
Concubine Xian considered herself to be the Empress Dowager's niece. She had looked down on Concubine Guifei since she entered the palace. Her family background was not even as good as the Qin family. However, she made the Emperor obsessed with her and gave birth to the second prince, who was the Emperor's first son who had grown up alive. As a result, she was promoted to Concubine Guifei.
Xian Fei suppressed her jealousy and said to Yu En, "Can we go in and pay our respects to the Queen Mother?"
Yu En smiled and said, "The Queen Mother just ordered that all the ladies should go back. There is no need to pay respects today."
After these words were spoken, many concubines breathed a sigh of relief.
The Queen paused, then smiled and replied, "Then I will not disturb the Queen Mother's rest. I will come to pay my respects tomorrow."
Yu En nodded respectfully.
Concubine Xian frowned and asked Yu En, "I can't go see the Queen Mother either?"
What she meant was that the Queen Mother was her aunt, so she wouldn't ignore her.
Yu En nodded: "The Queen Mother will not see anyone for the time being."
The virtuous concubine was so angry that she gritted her teeth and left in anger.
Everyone did not stay any longer and returned to the palace.
The queen walked in front, and no one dared to walk past the queen except the virtuous concubine who walked away first.
Suddenly, Concubine De asked, "I don't think I've seen Nanny Zhou beside the Queen Mother. Where did she go?"
After she reminded everyone, everyone came back to their senses.
Yes, the two palace maids and the chief eunuch were all there, except for Nanny Zhou.
"Could it be...that he went to do something for the Empress Dowager?" Concubine Jin said.
"Why can't we go whenever we want to get work done? Why do we have to choose the day when the Empress Dowager returns to the palace?" Defei glanced at Jinpin and said.
The queen frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt rose in her heart, but she said calmly: "Okay, where Nanny Zhou went is not our concern. If the queen mother finds out, you'd better be careful."
Everyone responded quickly.
At night, Zhao Ren rushed into the Qianqing Palace. Emperor Jianhe was practicing calligraphy, and a noble was quietly beside him, grinding for him.
"emperor……"
Zhao Ren called out and then stopped talking.
Emperor Jianhe looked up at him, then turned to the nobleman and said, "Go to the side hall and wait."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The noble lady bowed gracefully, not asking a single question because Zhao Ren had something to tell Emperor Jianhe and it was inconvenient for her to know.
When passing by Zhao Ren, she smiled and nodded at him.
