The emperor just doesn't treat everyone equally, and it's none of my business!

Shangguan Yan's expression and state quickly made everyone believe that the queen had really regained her favor, and everyone's expression was somewhat complicated.

The palace has finally calmed down, and now that the queen has regained her favor, who knows what kind of turmoil will be stirred up.

None of the concubines in the harem would look down on the queen. Even though the queen seems to be idle every day and doesn't seem to like to take care of things, everyone knows that the queen is not a simple person, otherwise she would not have been able to live peacefully in the harem for so many years and hold the power of the harem firmly in her hands. It was only in the past two years that the emperor neglected the queen. A large part of the reason for this was due to the previous dynasty. In recent years, the Shangguan family has been too high-profile.

"My sisters, you've arrived quite early." Shangguan Yan smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

These guys avoided her when she fell out of favor, and some even took advantage of her misfortune. Now that she is back in favor, they all run away very quickly.

Shangguan Yan's eyes turned and his gaze fell on Concubine Xian, saying, "Concubine Xian is here today, too."

Concubine Xian nodded and said, "Your Majesty." But she did not explain why she came here today.

Shangguan Yan didn't ask any more questions.

After Concubine Chun passed away, Concubine Xian was the highest ranking concubine in the harem besides the Empress. Although Concubine Xian was always indifferent and had a calm personality, who knew if it was true or not? Didn’t Concubine Chun also not care about things at the beginning? She even didn’t leave the Weiyang Palace. But who could have thought...

Now that Concubine Chun has passed away, maybe Concubine Xian can't stand the loneliness anymore.

Everyone knew why everyone came together today, and there was nothing serious to do, so after a few words, the queen let everyone go.

"Your Majesty, has the Queen really regained her favor?" Xingyue asked while supporting Gu Shijin.

Gu Shijin smiled, but was not worried. "After all, she is the queen, the mother of a country. As long as she doesn't do anything too extreme, and the emperor won't depose her, it's only a matter of time before she regains his favor."

Not to mention Lu Junze's temperament. Lu Junze is not a weak and kind person, but he always feels a little guilty about the women in the harem. This is why Lu Junze will not take heavy measures every time the concubines in the harem make mistakes, unless they step on his bottom line.

Xingyue thought about it and nodded.

Yes, if it is just to depose a concubine or to confer a title on a concubine, then naturally the consent of the ministers of the previous dynasty is not needed. But if it is necessary to depose the queen, then the ministers of the previous dynasty will definitely intervene. After all, she is the mother of a country, and the queen also has some relationship with the previous dynasty.

"Just do our own thing. It's not necessarily a bad thing for the queen to regain her favor."

There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are kings.

Gu Shijin had never offended the Queen, so what was she afraid of? If the Queen attacked her for no reason, she would not back down.

The current Gu Shijin is no longer the young talent she was three years ago. She is now a concubine of the second rank, and has the third and fourth princes as her biological children. Anyone who wants to take action against her needs to think carefully.

Xing Zhu: "Don't worry, Madam, we know what to do."

Lu Junze's current harem is actually very small, with only about twenty people in total, and those who entered the draft last year have not been looked at by Lu Junze. The only people who really have status in the harem of Daxia are those who are concubines or above.

This includes Gu Shijin, and Gu Shijin may be the biggest threat, because she not only has two princes, but also the emperor's favor.

Three years have passed, and the emperor still hasn't gotten tired of Gu Shijin. As long as he enters the harem, he spends most of his time in Chenhua Palace. All the concubines are jealous of him, but no one dares to act rashly.

It was really because of Lu Junze’s excessive favor that everyone didn’t dare to move.

It is not wise to let one person disappear when another person is most in love. None of the women in the harem are real fools.

But Gu Shijin thought of one thing, and she asked, "Why didn't Concubine Ning come to pay her respects today?"

Although Concubine Ning did not like life in the palace, she did not like to attract attention, so every time something like this happened she would try her best not to attract attention.

Obviously, Xingzhu and Xingyue didn't know about this. They shook their heads. Xingyue said, "My queen, would you like me to go to Concubine Ning's palace to take a look?"

Gu Shijin thought about it and nodded. In this palace, she was the only true friend of Concubine Ning, so she should go and take a look.

"it is good."

As Gu Shijin expected, something really happened to Concubine Ning, but it was not a serious matter, she just caught a cold.

"How could you catch a cold in this weather?" Gu Shijin sat beside Concubine Ning's bed and asked worriedly as he looked at her pale face.

Aren't colds supposed to occur in winter or when the seasons change? It's so hot now, how can I still catch a cold?

Ning Jieyu shook her head, pushed Gu Shijin, and said, "Sister Jin, don't get too close to me. Be careful not to get infected."

She actually didn't know how she caught a cold, she just fell ill for no apparent reason.

Gu Shijin frowned and asked, "Have you asked the imperial physician to come and take a look?"

It wasn't anything else. Gu Shijin was just afraid that Concubine Ning didn't have a cold, but someone was trying to harm her.

Although Concubine Ning has a low presence in the palace and there is no benefit in harming her, people in the palace cannot look at them with normal thinking.

Ning Jieyu nodded, "Sister Jin, don't worry. Doctor Song came to see me and it's true that I have a cold."

Ning Jieyu obviously knew what Gu Shijin was thinking. She was just carefree and not really stupid.

"That's good. You should have a good rest and get well soon."

"Thank you sister for your concern."

Ning Jieyu pondered for a moment, looked at the palace servants in the room, waved her hand and said, "You can go down first."

"Yes, my lord."

Gu Shijin knew that Concubine Ning had something to say when she saw this, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

"Sister Jin, do you still remember Concubine Wang?"

Gu Shijin thought about it and nodded. She had a good memory. Although she had no contact with this person in recent years, she still had some impression of him.

"I saw her in the Imperial Garden a few days ago. I seemed to hear her discussing something with Concubine De's maid. I vaguely heard the word prince, but I didn't know which prince she was talking about. After thinking it over, I think I should tell you, sister."

What if it’s the third or fourth prince? Sister can make preparations early.

She wanted to tell Gu Shijin the next day when she knew about this, but she caught a cold and was groggy for the past few days, so she really forgot about it.

When did Concubine Wang and Concubine De get together?

However, she didn't think that she was targeting the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince. The Third Prince and the Fourth Prince now lived in Chenhua Palace and were very safe. It was not easy to harm them.

"I understand. Take good care of yourself and don't think too much."
