The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Seeing a hint of disappointment in Concubine Xiao's eyes, Jiang Wantang couldn't bear to refuse. She smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay."

The two chatted for a while, and then it was time for lunch. Jiang Wantang accompanied Concubine Xiao to finish lunch and then stood up to take his leave.

Concubine Xiao asked Nanny Su to send her back personally.

After the two left, Concubine Xiao looked at the pile of bottles and jars of medicine on the table that Jiang Wantang refused to take away, and sighed deeply with regret.

You can work hard for everything in the world, but you can't force your feelings.

What should she do with her poor nephew?

……

Jiang Wantang followed Nanny Su around several corridors. Just as they passed the side hall of Shoukang Palace, they smelled a burnt smell and heard a woman cursing.

"What the hell are you burning here, you crazy bastard?"

"You're crazy and talking nonsense all day long. I'm so unlucky to live in the same yard with you!"

When Jiang Wantang walked to the gate of the courtyard, he saw a woman in green clothes who was quite luxurious. She stood with her hands on her hips and angrily kicked over a copper basin in which something was burning on the ground.

The madman she was talking about was disheveled and dressed in dirty clothes. He was kneeling on the ground and picking up the unburned paper with his bare hands, as if he didn't feel any pain.

Seeing this, the woman in green raised her foot to kick the crazy woman kneeling on the ground.

"stop!"

Seeing this, Jiang Wantang walked over quickly and waved away the woman in green.

The woman in green stumbled a few steps before she stood firm. She was stunned for a moment as she looked at the stunning woman who suddenly appeared before her. Then she said fiercely, "How dare you! Where did this slutty bitch come from? How dare you push me!"

"Do you know whose territory this harem belongs to?"

After saying that, he raised his hand to hit Jiang Wantang.

The latter gave the woman in green a cold look, and she shrank back and subconsciously took a few steps back.

At this time, Nanny Sun had already stepped forward and looked at the woman in green and said coldly, "You bold and treacherous slave, how dare you bully your master? Come, drag her away and teach her a lesson."

"How dare you! Do you know who I am?"

"Let go, let me go!"

The woman in green was shouting and was covered with her mouth by several eunuchs and dragged away.

After dealing with the stubborn slave, Nanny Su looked back and saw Jiang Wantang's eyes fixed on the crazy woman who was kneeling on the ground and picking up the unburned scraps of paper.

Nanny Su followed her gaze and looked at the woman on the ground, explaining, "She is the late emperor's concubine, Concubine Yu."

"Don't look at Concubine Jiang, she's dirty and crazy now. She was once the most favored concubine in the harem, the most powerful Concubine Yu. Even the current Empress Dowager Qi couldn't overshadow her."

At this point, Nanny Su sighed: "Alas! What a pity..."

"What a pity?" Jiang Wantang suddenly turned around and asked.

Nanny Su came back to her senses, but her eyes suddenly dodged and she didn't answer for a long time.

However, Jiang Wantang looked at her without saying a word, obviously waiting for her to continue.

Seeing this, Nanny Su said unnaturally, "It's all my fault for being nosy. Concubine Jiang, just pretend you didn't hear anything and don't ask any more questions."

"Knowing too much about the past will not benefit Your Majesty."

But the more she kept her mouth shut and avoided talking about it, the more interested Jiang Wantang became.

Her keen intuition told her that there was something fishy going on.

Jiang Wantang smiled, but didn't show it on her face. She bent down and picked up the half piece of waste paper that had blown to her feet, and the words on it caught her eye.

It was written in the elegant small regular script of plum blossom style, and the content on the paper was exactly the content of the Sutra of Rebirth that she had seen in the Cining Palace today.

Living people copy the Sutra of Rebirth and burn it mostly to pray for their deceased relatives and friends and to liberate their souls.

and so……

Jiang Wantang narrowed his eyes slightly, looking thoughtful.

At this time, Concubine Yu was picking up things on the ground and crawled to Jiang Wantang's feet.

She looked up along the hem of Jiang Wantang's skirt until she saw Jiang Wantang's stunningly beautiful face. Her pupils suddenly dilated, her body trembled, and she looked at the person in front of her in almost disbelief.

The next moment, she suddenly knelt at Jiang Wantang's feet, hugged her legs tightly, and cried out in pain: "Empress Dowager! Empress Dowager!..."

"Your Highness, it's so great that you're still alive!"

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, and she cried bitterly, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I've let you down!"

"I was wrong. I'm sorry! I'm sorry..."

As she spoke, she cried and slapped her face like crazy.

Jiang Wantang let her hold her motionlessly, letting her leave one black finger mark after another on the hem of her white skirt.

She could truly feel Concubine Yu's sadness and regret.

Especially those eyes that were cloudy and full of pain when they looked at her.

At this moment, Concubine Yu was like a child who had done something wrong. She hugged the elder she depended on the most and confessed her sorrow, longing for her forgiveness.

She cried more and more brokenly, heart-wrenchingly.

Nanny Sun, who was standing by, was frightened when she saw this and quickly called for help to pull Concubine Yu into the hall.

The calls of "Empress Dowager" continued to echo in the air.

Nanny Su shook her head and said, "It seems that he is really crazy."

Suihe looked at Jiang Wan again and asked, "Is Concubine Jiang not frightened?"

Jiang Wantang shook her head.

Nanny Su said, "This Concubine Yu has been crazy for many years. Just treat it as a joke and don't take it to heart."

"Let's go. I'll take you back right away."

Afterwards, Jiang Wantang followed her out of Shoukang Palace.

When Nanny Su came back to report, she mentioned what happened in the side hall of Shoukang Palace to Concubine Xiao.

Concubine Xiao stopped trimming the branches, looked at her suspiciously, and murmured, "Empress Dowager?"

Nanny Su nodded and asked, "Could it be the one from the Cining Palace?"

Concubine Xiao shook her head: "Impossible."

"When they were young, the two of them would fight to the death, and each wanted the other to die. It's more like Concubine Yu hugged her and beat her, how could she hug her and cry?"

Concubine Xiao pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and said, "But now that you mention it, I think of someone."

Nanny Su asked in confusion, "Who?"

Concubine Xiao's eyes were far away: "Empress Dowager Wende during the reign of the late emperor."

"I heard that when Concubine Yu first entered the palace at a young age, she was raised by Empress Dowager Wende, just like the late emperor, and was carefully nurtured by her for several years."

"It is rumored that Empress Dowager Wende is stunningly beautiful, benevolent, virtuous, wise and intelligent. She is a legendary woman."

"If Concubine Yu was calling her, it wouldn't be surprising."

"Has the Dowager Consort ever seen the face of Empress Dowager Wende?"

"No." Concubine Xiao said with a hint of regret, "I've never even seen a portrait of her."

"God is jealous of beauty. This Empress Dowager Wende passed away at an early age."

"Perhaps fearing that missing her would only cause grief, the late emperor erased all traces of her in the palace."
