In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband
Chapter 185 Being Taken Advantage of
The emperor didn't like Concubine Wan in the first place, and everything he did before was just to stabilize Xu Chao.
Wanpin was not giving up and wanted to get closer to the emperor, but the emperor dodged her. This time, Wanpin's actions were seen by everyone.
At this time, Wanpin felt her face becoming more and more itchy. She couldn't help scratching it with her hands. Some of the makeup on her face fell off, revealing the rashes on her skin.
The concubines beside her exclaimed, "Oh my God, look at her face, why are there so many rashes..."
"That's right, it's so disgusting. When I think about her standing next to me just now, I feel uncomfortable all over."
"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder you refused to go out before, it turns out you were too embarrassed to see people."
The Queen then looked over, her eyes showing the joy of having succeeded, but then she changed into a worried expression, "Oh my God, someone come quickly, send Concubine Wan back to the palace, and ask the imperial physician to treat her."
The guard took the order and stepped forward, ignoring Wanpin's struggle and dragged her away.
Wanpin was dragged outside while struggling, "How dare you! Let me go! Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Please, save me, these bitches want to harm me..."
Wanpin placed her last hope on the emperor, but the emperor just looked at Wanpin with disgust, a look full of disgust and disdain, as if he was particularly disgusted by Wanpin's current appearance.
When Concubine Wan met the emperor's gaze, she froze in place and allowed the guards to drag her out without struggling for a moment.
The emperor's glance deeply pierced Wanpin's heart. She originally wanted to win back the emperor's heart this time, but she never expected that the emperor would hate her so much. At that moment, Wanpin was a little confused in the harem. She didn't know how she could survive in the harem.
The emperor's attitude towards Wanpin was naturally seen by the other concubines. After this incident, everyone knew very well that Wanpin had completely fallen out of favor, and the emperor could not even deal with her superficially.
The harem has always been a place where the powerful are praised and the weak are bullied. After this day, one can imagine what happened to Concubine Wan, but no one will pity her.
The Queen and the remaining concubines were not affected by Concubine Wan at all, and the Hundred Flowers Banquet continued in a lively manner. However, before the banquet was over, the embarrassing incident of Concubine Wan at the Hundred Flowers Banquet had spread throughout the entire harem, and the news that Concubine Wan had fallen out of favor was also known.
Su Zhizhi, who was in the imperial kitchen, was stunned when she heard the news. All the desserts for the flower-viewing banquet were made by her own hands without the intervention of others. And in response to the Queen's request, Su Zhizhi also added a lot of peanuts.
Su Zhizhi originally thought that there wouldn't be any big problem, but she didn't expect that after having a miscarriage, Concubine Wan would still drag her weak body to attend the flower viewing banquet.
Thinking of Concubine Wan's symptoms of peanut allergy, Su Zhizhi felt her hands and feet were cold. When the Queen sent someone to find her, she thought she was favored by the Queen, but now it seems that Su Zhizhi realized that she was being used by the Queen, and now she is just a pawn of the Queen to deal with Concubine Wan.
Su Zhizhi suddenly felt a huge headache. After this incident, Wanpin would definitely not let her go. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. If Wanpin really wanted to attack her, no one would dare to stand on her side.
Su Zhizhi looked around and felt exhausted. She thought she was not a thick-skinned person, but in this deep palace, she was actually tricked and led by the nose.
Although Su Zhizhi was a little discouraged, she still had to continue with the work in her hands, but she was still a little uneasy.
Su Zhizhi was very worried that she would be taken away for questioning in the next second, but unexpectedly, no one from the Ministry of Punishment came, but a senior palace maid from Fengyi Palace came instead.
The other person smiled kindly when he saw Su Zhizhi. "I think this is the famous Manager Su. The Empress really liked the cakes Manager Su prepared at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, so she sent this servant to invite Manager Su to Fengyi Palace. I'm just wondering if Manager Su has time."
Su Zhizhi was surprised for a moment, then quickly reacted, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your kindness. How could I refuse your invitation? However, I am afraid that meeting you in this state would offend your eyes. If this aunt does not mind, I can go change into clean clothes first."
The palace maid nodded and said, "Of course, Director Su, just go ahead. I'll wait here for you to come back."
Seeing this, Su Zhizhi quickly returned to her room, changed into clean clothes, and then followed the palace maid to Fengyi Palace.
In Fengyi Palace, the Empress was resting with her eyes closed. Not long after, a young eunuch walked in from the doorway and said, "Your Majesty, Supervisor Su from the Imperial Kitchen has arrived and is waiting outside. Would you like to see him now?"
"Oh? It seems that Manager Su is quite fast. Bring the person in." The queen slowly opened her eyes. Her gorgeous clothes made her look even more beautiful. Perhaps because Concubine Wan was humiliated, she felt more and more cheerful in her heart, and her spirits were getting better day by day.
"Your humble servant pays his respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health." Su Zhizhi walked in cautiously and bowed respectfully to the Queen.
The Queen also looked at Su Zhizhi kindly, "Manager Su, please stand up quickly. Someone, please give him a seat and serve tea."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Zhizhi kowtowed again before sitting down.
The Queen looked at Su Zhizhi for a long time before she said with satisfaction, "I've always heard about Director Su, but I never thought I'd see him in person until now. Now it seems Director Su is truly a rare person."
Su Zhizhi hurriedly said in a panic, "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I am so humbled."
The Queen's smile deepened. "I really enjoyed the cakes that Director Su made at the flower viewing banquet yesterday. If Director Su is busy, I will ask the Emperor to invite you to my Fengyi Palace."
Su Zhizhi didn't expect that the queen called her over to extend an olive branch to her.
At that moment, Su Zhizhi was thinking about many things. The previous incident with Concubine Wan was indeed the Queen using her. This also meant that there was a completely irreconcilable contradiction between her and Concubine Wan.
So Su Zhizhi realized that if she wanted to protect herself in the harem, the queen was the best choice at the moment.
Although Su Zhizhi was still somewhat reluctant, she didn't know what the queen would do to her if she disobeyed her. After all, there was cannibalism in the harem.
