Zhu Yixiu is reborn in Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace and single-handedly kills her way throug

Thinking of this, Concubine Jing seemed even more confused.

Could it be…

Did the Queen Mother already know about the plot between herself and Concubine Hui?

But before she could think any more, a cough was heard outside the hall.

The Imperial Concubine Dowager supported Jixiang, who looked very weak.

When he reached Concubine Jing, he knelt down and said, "Greetings to the Queen Mother."

"Forget it, you're not feeling well, no need to be so polite."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

After thanking her, the Imperial Concubine stood up straight and said, "Your Majesty, I have always been in poor health and rarely go out. But today, by chance, I encountered a private matter."

"Private? Tell me about it."

The Queen Mother's tone was flat, without a trace of emotion.

There was no intention to even offer the other person a seat.

The Imperial Concubine Dowager also looked calm.

She knelt and spoke again, "Empress Dowager, I heard that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager have granted Longyue a marriage. Today, I was planning to go to Concubine Jing to inquire about the preparations for the marriage, but I happened to see a guard sneaking around outside."

"I am not feeling well, and Jixiang is just a weak woman. I am worried about the thieves' ruthlessness, so I didn't dare to alert others immediately."

"I watched the guard enter Concubine Jing's room, but then I saw Concubine Jing leave alone and go to Concubine Hui's room."

"I found these things too unusual, so I asked Jixiang to sneak up to Concubine Hui's window and secretly listen for a while. But I didn't expect... cough cough cough..."

Having said this, the Imperial Concubine suddenly started coughing again.

It seemed as if things had reached a more critical point.

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "If the Royal Concubine can't explain, Jixiang, then you can tell me what you heard yourself."

The Queen Mother's majesty is incomparable to ordinary people.

She is now more majestic than when she was the queen.

Jixiang's knees went weak and he knelt down.

"In reply to the Empress Dowager, I heard Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui say... that as long as Princess Longyue lost her virginity, she wouldn't have to travel to Dzungar to marry. Therefore, the guard's offense against the princess today was deliberately done by Concubine Jing."

As soon as Jixiang said this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly turned cold.

The matter of marriage alliance is not about the infighting in the harem.

It is a matter related to the country and the people.

In order to prevent Longyue from marrying far away, Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui actually dared to make trouble in this matter!

But Jixiang had not finished speaking.

"Empress Dowager, Concubine Jing also said... Even if Princess Longyue can't marry, there's still Princess Wenyi... Even if Princess Longyue doesn't go, it really doesn't matter..."

"presumptuous!"

The Queen Mother seemed very angry.

He slapped the table with his hand, his eyes full of anger. "Feng, you are so bold!"

Concubine Jing's face turned pale. She knelt on the ground with her fists clenched, knowing that she had no chance of survival today.

But as long as Longyue can stay in the capital, what does it matter if I risk my own life?

"Please forgive me, Queen Mother. I am not blessed enough to bear my own child. Longyue has been raised by me since she was born. I cannot bear to watch her go thousands of miles away."

"I know I was wrong in this matter, and I dare not ask for forgiveness from the Queen Mother. But Longyue is still just a child. Please, Queen Mother, have mercy and spare her life!"

After saying a long string of words, Concubine Jing kowtowed to the ground, no longer caring about whether she could survive.

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "How could it be you? Didn't you listen to what the Imperial Noble Consort and Jixiang said? Is there also Concubine Hui's conspiracy in this matter?"

"I remember your contributions to the late emperor and have been unwilling to criticize you in the slightest since you moved to Shoukang Palace. I never expected you to disregard the rules so much in private."

"So what if Longyue doesn't need to marry? Who would marry her if she lost her virginity? Do you want her to go to Ganlu Temple like her biological mother did?"

The Queen Mother's words struck Concubine Jing like a bolt of lightning.

She hurriedly shook her head and said, "Queen Dowager, that's not what I meant. Even if Longyue has lost her virginity, she is still a princess. As long as the Queen Dowager and the Emperor show mercy, they will definitely allow her to live a peaceful life."
