The abandoned concubine is charming and charming, and the sickly prince breaks his waist

Hua Shu knew that Concubine Yi must have noticed something and that was why she was testing her like this, but she was not in a hurry at all.

Because she was sure that Concubine Yi didn't know that the person that night was her. If she was sure that it was her, she would have told the Queen and the Crown Prince long ago. Why would they test her here?

Thinking of this, she put away the sneer in her eyes, raised her head and looked at Concubine Yi with some doubt: "I accidentally fell into the water when I first entered the palace. I have been resting in Xiaoyue Pavilion and have never gone out. Why do you think the smell on me is familiar, sister?"

Concubine Yi saw that the expression on her face didn't seem fake, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Could it be that she was overthinking it? The scent of medicine on her body was exactly the same as that of the person who knocked her out.

Seeing her frowning in thought, Hua Shu flashed a sneer in his eyes, pretending to suddenly remember something, and said to her: "Could it be that the incense used in sister's palace is the same as mine, so it feels familiar."

Yipin smiled at her and said, "It should be like this."

Although she said this, she had already decided in her heart to tell the Queen and the Crown Prince about this matter. Regardless of whether it was Hua Shu or not, it would be more reassuring to check it out.

Hua Shu saw through her thoughts at a glance, but she didn't take it to heart. She was worried that she couldn't get the Queen to take action herself. Maybe if Concubine Yi told her about this, she wouldn't be able to help but take action against herself.

Seeing the fake smiles on their faces, Shunpin at the side said impatiently, "Have you said enough?"

Hua Shu glanced at her without saying anything. Although Shunpin was also the Queen's person, she was easier to deal with than Yipin, so she didn't take her seriously.

After Yipin stepped forward and whispered a few words to Shunpin, her expression looked better, but she still looked at Hua Shu in an unfriendly manner.

After all, there were already enough women in the palace, and their favors were rare to begin with, and now there was another woman with extraordinary beauty, Hua Shu.

In addition, the emperor went to Xiaoyuexuan in person to favor her last night. Although he was intercepted by Concubine Shu, it was enough to show how special the emperor was to her. Naturally, she couldn't stand Hua Shu.

Hua Shu glanced at the sky, smiled at the two of them and said, "Two sisters, let's go quickly. It will be bad if we are late."

Concubine Yi smiled and nodded, then took Concubine Shun and followed Hua Shu to Chonghua Palace.

By the time they arrived at the gate of Chonghua Palace, most of the concubines had already arrived.

Hua Shu recognized the leading Concubine Fu, Concubine Qi Hui, Concubine Lin Xian, as well as Concubine Ning, Concubine Feng, and Concubine Wen at a glance...

When Concubine Fu and the others heard the voice, they turned around to look at Hua Shu at the same time. When they saw Hua Shu, who was still dazzling even in her simple clothes, they had different expressions on their faces. Some were amazed, some were envious, but more were jealous and disgusted.

But Concubine Fu was completely different from them. She stared straight at Hua Shu's face, as if she wanted to see something from her face.

Feeling a gaze falling on her, Hua Shu subconsciously looked over, and when she found that it was Concubine Fu, she couldn't help but frowned.

She had never had any interaction with Concubine Fu in her previous life, so why was she staring at her like that?

Out of curiosity, Hua Shu looked at Concubine Fu again, but she was looking away.

Hua Shu's doubts deepened, but she didn't have time to think about it. She followed Concubine Yi and the others and stepped forward to pay their respects to Concubine Fu and the others.

Seeing that Hua Shu came with Yipin and Shunpin, Concubine Fu asked them to get up with a faint expression and did not look at Hua Shu again.

Concubine Qi Hui looked Hua Shu up and down and said with a smile, "Lady Hua is indeed very beautiful. No wonder the Emperor went to Xiaoyue Pavilion in person last night."

Hua Shu put on a gentle smile and said, "I am lucky enough to have the emperor's mercy. If it was you, the emperor would definitely feel even more distressed."

Concubine Qi Hui intended to pull Hua Shu to her side. When she heard what she said, the smile on her face deepened a little: "She is a person who can talk. I like her. When you have time, come to Chenghuan Palace to talk with me."

Hua Shu said obediently, "Yes."

Concubine Fu on the side glanced at Hua Shu, opened her mouth but said nothing in the end.

Concubine Lin was a little surprised that Hua Shu was so good at getting along with everyone, but she didn't care too much.

At this moment, Nanny Zhang beside Empress Liu came out, bowed to everyone and said, "The Empress, please come in, ladies."

Concubine Fu walked in first, with Hua Shu walking at the end. After they paid their respects to Empress Liu, she also sat at the end when they took their seats.

Empress Liu had a gentle smile on her face, but when she saw one of the empty seats, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

Concubine Qi Hui had always been at odds with her, and when she saw that Concubine Li Shu was not there, she would not miss the opportunity to sow discord between them.

"The Concubine Shu is just pregnant and even the Empress doesn't take her seriously. What will happen if she gives birth to an heir to the throne in the future?"

Concubine Ning, who was standing by, glanced at Empress Liu and said with a smile, "I heard that Concubine Shu had a miscarriage last night. Maybe she hasn't recovered yet."

Concubine Qi Hui snorted coldly and said, "Whether she is pregnant or trying to win favor, only she knows."

Before he finished speaking, a sharp voice rang out from outside the door: "I'm just a little late, Sister Huifei is so impatient to find fault with me?"

Everyone looked towards the door and saw Concubine Li Shu walking in supported by a palace maid. If you didn't know her, you would have thought she was about to give birth.

Seeing her like this, Concubine Qi Hui couldn't help but sneer, "You are really going backwards as you grow older. You actually use this method to compete for favor with a little girl who just entered the palace."

Concubine Li Shu bowed to Empress Liu, then stood up and looked at Concubine Qi Hui and said with a smile, "The Emperor has always favored me, so why would I compete for his favor?"

Concubine Qi Hui wanted to say something, but Empress Liu spoke before her: "Well, if you have time to argue here in my palace, you might as well think about how to give birth to more children for the emperor."

Hearing this, Concubine Qi Hui stopped talking, and Concubine Li Shu snorted coldly and sat down in her seat.

Hua Shu had been watching the show from the beginning, so she was not surprised to see Concubine Qi Hui and Concubine Li Shu quarreling.

But she felt it was a bit ironic that so many women were vying for favor and being jealous of one man all day long, and even that man couldn't tell who was who among them, yet they still enjoyed doing so every day.

The more Hua Shu saw them like this, the more she wanted to climb up. She didn't want to live like them, relying on the favor of men.

She will climb up step by step until she sits on the seat above everyone else!

Empress Liu spoke some high-sounding words to them before letting them go back.

After everyone left, Concubine Yi appeared in front of Empress Liu quietly again.

Empress Liu rubbed her temples tiredly and asked, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Concubine Yi took a few steps forward and lowered her voice and said, "Your Majesty, I suspect that the person who knocked me out and rescued Chu Hengzhi that night was Lady Hua."
