This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

Chapter 83: Sun Wukong defeats the White Bone Demon 18 times

"Of course it's true. Otherwise, Empress Hua will take you to see the Emperor in a few days and you can ask him in person." Concubine Hua explained patiently. She felt that her patience in her two lifetimes combined was not as much as she had at the moment.

After hearing Concubine Hua's promise, Linglong happily started to eat the duck bean paste buns.

After breakfast, Lanzhi and Guizhi went to play with Linglong.

In the morning, it was discovered that Huixiang and Xiaoyuzi had betrayed their master. At this moment, the servants serving in Ziyikun Palace were like dumb and no one dared to say a word.

Concubine Hua originally wanted to find the loopholes in Yikun Palace, which was why she did not order the palace servants to keep their mouths shut. Now that Huixiang and Xiao Yuzi have served as warnings, there is no need to waste her breath.

It has been more than seven days since the purslane incident. I wonder what Shen Meizhuang and Xin will agree to for the two of them?

I sent someone to warn Huang Guiquan not to deprive them of any of their food, clothing and other expenses, and that this dog slave should do his job with all his heart.

Xin agreed and probably felt okay. After all, she should have seen through the emperor's temper when she was in the palace. She had asked someone to tell him that Linglong was safe these days, so she should be relieved.

Shen Meizhuang is probably still sad. She was hurt by the emperor, and she needs some time to calm down. If she can't get over it, she will be like Concubine Duan, living in a barrier where she doesn't want to face reality. I hope Shen Meizhuang is a clear-headed person and can figure these things out soon.

Although she is now the most favored Concubine Hua in the six palaces, it is difficult to manage the people in the imperial court. Moreover, the Queen is watching her, so she cannot go too far in helping them secretly.

A side hall of Changchun Palace was where Xin agreed to live.

It was just as Concubine Hua expected. Xin's life was not just comfortable, it was like a fish in water.

Xin agreed to lie on the couch, leaning against the soft pillow, eating melon seeds while reading the notebook that Concubine Hua had someone quietly pass to her. The palace maid beside her hung her legs to her. She was so happy. It was just that she couldn't go out, not that she was going to die.

It is so comfortable to be confined on the spot without having to get up early to greet the emperor.

Thanks to Concubine Hua for her kindness, Xin agreed that her bones had become soft after being relaxed for the past few days. She wondered if Linglong had gained weight in Yikun Palace.

···········

Shen Meizhuang in Cunju Hall of Xianfu Palace was not so relaxed.

When she was just under house arrest, Shen Meizhuang would look at the rows of guards wearing yellow brocade robes and carrying swords at the palace gate when she woke up every morning. She was a woman who was not even capable of tying a chicken, so how could she need such heavy guards? After all, the emperor just didn't believe her.

Thinking about the humiliation of having her hair down by the Emperor that day, Shen Meizhuang still feels ashamed when she recalls it now.

But emperors have always been fickle, and I am just one of the three thousand beauties in the harem. With just a few pots of green chrysanthemums and a plaque, how could I believe that the emperor would treat me differently?

At least there is a baby in my belly now. The emperor is the emperor and the child is the child. Everything will be clear when the baby is born.

Caiyue saw her master standing at the door in a daze again and didn't know how to comfort her, so she set the table and invited Shen Meizhuang to have dinner.

"My lord, it's time to eat."

Shen Meizhuang stood up upon hearing the voice and went to the dining table to eat.

The servants in the Imperial Household Department were very dedicated and did not treat me badly at all.

Sea cucumber and abalone porridge was delivered to me early in the morning. Thinking about the rich meals I had these days, which were better than before, I guess Empress Hua must have put in a lot of effort. If I ever get out in the future, I will definitely thank Empress Hua.

-------------------------------------

Hua Fei didn't understand why she suddenly became out of touch with the news. She didn't even know the Imperial Observatory's assertion that the baby in Fucha Nobleman and Shen Meiyu's belly was a boy or a girl. So she asked Zhou Ninghai to investigate what went wrong with the clues she had arranged.

After checking, Zhou Ninghai found out that the staff he had arranged through several twists and turns had been transferred away from the Yangxin Palace. Zhou Ninghai thought it was a coincidence, but he did not expect to find out after checking in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that the slave who reported the news had been transferred from the Yangxin Palace to the Xinzheku and died suddenly a few days later.

When Concubine Hua heard the news, she was asking Songzhi to apply Impatiens balsamina on her. Her ten slender fingers were stained with the bright red Impatiens balsamina juice, which was very bright and eye-catching.

"I underestimated the Queen. It seems that the Queen has many spies in the palace." Concubine Hua raised her hand and carefully admired the gorgeous red nail polish under the light.

"Alright, I don't blame you for this, but you must be more vigilant in the future and don't make such mistakes again. And as for the young eunuch who died suddenly, seal some silver and send it to his home. After all, he died while doing errands for me, so I can't treat him badly."

"Yeah." Zhou Ninghai responded. This time, His Majesty suffered such a great loss from the Queen. He felt that it was all his fault for not being vigilant enough. Without Concubine Hua's reminder, he would have paid more attention to the matter of collecting intelligence.

Zhou Ninghai thought of another incident and tried to make amends.

"My queen, it seems that Jingren Palace has sent people to Songyang."

"Songyang?" Concubine Hua raised her eyebrows, put down her hands and looked at Zhou Ninghai, "Isn't Songyang the hometown of Concubine An?"

"Your Highness, that's right. I sent someone to follow them. Should we do something?"

"The Queen can do whatever she wants. She is the Queen, how can I stop her?" Hua Fei gave a sarcastic laugh. The Queen was going to overthrow everyone around her one by one.

"Yes."

"Just keep a close eye on her. Report to me immediately if anything happens. Oh, and ask Nian Xi to bring in some children's storybooks and comic books. Linglong hasn't been sleeping well these past few days and has been very noisy."

Concubine Hua felt a headache when she thought of Linglong, the little devil. She had been making a fuss the whole morning after she found out that her mother was under house arrest.

Afterwards, she acted like normal, eating, drinking and sleeping every day. She would also run to the bedroom with a pillow in her arms all night long to ask me to tell her stories.

Sun Wukong has already defeated the White Bone Demon eighteen times, but she is not tired of hearing it yet. Concubine Hua swears that she must let Linglong know that in addition to Sun Wukong's three defeats of the White Bone Demon, there is a vast world of storybooks worth exploring!

-------------------------------------

For more than ten days, Concubine Hua did not go to Jingren Palace to pay her respects, and always asked Concubine Li to ask for leave on her behalf.

Kang Luhai, a coward who was neither a snake nor a rat, heard that Huixiang and Xiao Yuzi, whom he bribed, died of a high fever a few days after being taken to the Ministry of Punishment. He was too timid to tell Concubine Li the truth.

So much so that Concubine Li always thought she was hiding well.
