On the night of returning to the palace, it was reported from Changtianlou that the noble man had called an imperial physician, but the imperial physician told her that the clothes she was wearing had been contaminated with medicinal powder, which made her body itchy and easily attracted leeches. For a while, the concubines who had been waiting to see the lively scene of the noble lady became careful, for fear that this incident would fall on them inexplicably.
Zhuang Luoyan was sitting in the pavilion, looking at the koi swimming in the green lake with a comfortable expression, but heard the gossip of the two palace maids.
"Who do you think will harm the noble lady Qian?"
"Who knows, since the imperial concubine Qian entered the palace, she has also been very popular with the emperor. Although it is not as good as Concubine Shu Gui and Concubine Zhao Xianrong, she is almost the same as Concubine Rou."
"According to my opinion, Xu Zhaorong may have done this. Now that noble lady Qian lives with her, she has fallen out of favor, so she may hate her."
"Which two daring palace maids are arguing about the master?" Just when Zhuang Luoyan heard the rise, the voice of Concubine Rou was heard not far away. She had to put away her lazy bones and walked out of the pavilion to see kneeling In front of Concubine Rou's face, there were two pale maids.
"I've seen Concubine Rou," Zhuang Luoyan blessed Concubine Rou and glanced at the kneeling maid with a slight smile on her face.
"This is not Zhao Xianrong," Concubine Rou said that she was not happy with Zhuang Luoyan, but now Zhuang Luoyan's favor is flourishing, and her face is much gentler than before, "I only went to the outskirts of the city yesterday, how can I have the energy to come out today? go away?"
"It's just going to the outskirts of the city, it's not a lot of effort," Zhuang Luoyan smiled gently, "I saw the beautiful scenery today, so I thought about going out for a walk, but I heard some nonsense."
"It's not some nonsense," Concubine Rou looked at the two palace maids with cold eyes. It is not a happy thing for a concubine of any concubine position to be compared with a noble person by a palace maid. What's more, she has never been soft-hearted. Since someone dares to say that, they will naturally dare to bear her anger. "From the perspective of this palace, some people can't control their mouths, so they don't need to open their mouths."
Zhuang Luoyan lowered his eyes and lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and he didn't say much.
Seeing that Zhuang Luoyan had no intention of interfering in this matter, Concubine Rou said with a cold face: "Come here, send these two palace maids to the central province of the palace, such an act of arguing about the master must be severely punished."
Seeing the two palace maids begging for mercy and being dragged down, Zhuang Luoyan's smile faded, "Where is Concubine Rou from?"
"The noble person Qian is unwell, and she is also a sister who serves the emperor. Naturally, I will go to see her." Concubine Rou smiled, "Have you seen Zhao Xianrong? If not, I will go with I to see her. ."
At this point, Zhuang Luoyan naturally no longer refused, and she followed Concubine Rou's footsteps to Changtianlou.
After passing through the lush bamboo forest, he arrived at Changtian Tower. Zhuang Luoyan saw Gao Dezhong standing outside and knew that the emperor was also at Changtian Tower. He paused and nodded to Gao Dezhong with a smile: "Eunuch Gao."
"I have seen Concubine Rou, Concubine Zhaoxian Rong," Gao Dezhong said with a smirk to Zhuangluo, "The two concubines are here to see the noble lady? The emperor and the empress, the concubine Shu, are here at the moment. Well, please."
"There is Eunuch Lao," Zhuang Luoyan nodded slightly, seeing that Concubine Rou had already taken a few steps forward, so she had to turn around and follow.
Gao Dezhong looked at the backs of the two empresses and bent down again, and when he looked up again, the smile on his face slowly faded.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Rou, Zhao Xianrong, please see me!"
The expressionless Feng Jin heard the eunuch's report and nodded, "Let them come in." There was also a warm color on his face, which made the queen sitting beside him move her brows.
"Your Majesty, the skin on Mrs. Qian's body is about to be scratched, and Xu Zhaorong is too vicious," the queen said with a serious expression, "poor Lady Qian's snow-colored skin, this palace feels distressed when she sees it."
When Zhuang Luoyan walked into the house, she heard the Queen's words, and she felt a little emotional. Telling lies so sincere is a necessary skill for women in the harem. Walking three steps away from the emperor, Fushen said, "The concubine has seen the emperor."
"The two beloved concubines don't need to be too polite," the emperor said in a light voice, "give you a seat."
Zhuang Luoyan sat next to Concubine Rou, carefully glanced at the noble lady who was leaning on the bed, and suddenly took a breath. How could such a beautiful face turn into such a terrifying red rash? It turned a face of a whole country into a dominatrix.
"Why is the noble person Qian hurt so badly?" Concubine Rou frowned slightly with dissatisfaction with a surprised look on her face. "The noble person Qian is so beautiful, who would be so cruel?"
These words are really wicked enough. Obviously others have been disfigured, and the Queen and Concubine Rou have to mention the snow-colored skin and beautiful appearance. Does it mean that the emperor must take the embarrassed appearance of Qiangui to heart? And Xu Zhaorong, who was kneeling on the ground, must be transparent. Concubine Rou had to say such a thing
Qian Guiren didn't seem to be able to accept her appearance. As soon as Concubine Rou finished speaking, she pulled the quilt to cover most of her face, and she didn't even want to look at everyone.
Feng Jin raised his eyelids, ignored Concubine Rou's words, and turned to the empress: "The noble lady Qian looks like this, you should pay more attention to let her recover sooner."
"Please don't worry, Your Majesty, it's not only you, Your Majesty, who feel distressed, but I feel distressed as well." The Queen responded gently, then looked at Xu Zhaorong, "Xu Zhaorong, you have made mistakes again and again, and you are truly unforgivable."
Xu Zhaorong raised her head and smiled sadly, "Since the emperor and the empress have convicted me, I am naturally unforgivable."
Such words can't make the queen's face change half, she lowered her eyelids, "Earlier, you were jealous of Zhao Xianrong, the emperor wanted you to serve for many years, but did not punish you severely. Now you are poisoning noble lady Qian, your intentions are really sinister."
Xu Zhaorong listened to the Queen's words indifferently, then turned to look at the Emperor, "Your Majesty..."
Zhuang Luoyan saw that Xu Zhaorong still had hope in her eyes. Maybe she knew in her heart that the woman in the room couldn't wait to put this crime on her head, and the only one who could prove her innocence was the emperor.
"What else do you have to say?" The emperor looked at Xu Zhaorong with little emotion in his eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger, "Maybe I'm too indulgent to you."
The emperor's light-hearted words made Xu Zhaorong's expectations disappear completely. She knelt up straight and bowed to the emperor. She said in a clear voice, "The concubine has nothing to say."
