So the Queen Mother felt that Concubine Shu was really making trouble for no reason, and she was even more displeased: "Whoever gains power in this palace must be arrogant. Ai's family has been in the harem for so many years, and I have never seen anyone who is ostentatious live long. Yes. Concubine Shu, since you have gained the trust of the emperor, you should be humble and low-key, calm and calm, instead of doing things like today."
The queen mother seldom blames the concubine, because basically she doesn't care about the affairs of the harem, and today it is Xu who sent her to her door to scold her.
Hearing such heavy words, Xu's face could not be wiped off, she gritted her teeth and resisted in a low voice, and said aggrievedly: "Chenqie... I really only care about the body of Sister De Concubine, seeing that she has plump up a lot, and she lives in seclusion. A pulse diagnosis, if you are happy, it will also make you happy, who knows that things will develop like this... "
"Oh?" As soon as she heard the word Youxi, the Empress Dowager immediately regained her spirits, sat up straight and looked at Hua Chun and asked, "Is there no one in the Hall of Mental Cultivation asking for the Ping An Pulse?"
"Yes." Hua Chun nodded: "Not long ago, the imperial doctor came to give Chenqie a pulse, saying that Chenqie had eaten the wrong food, causing menopause and vomiting. It looks like she is pregnant, but in fact she just needs to be recuperated."
Slightly disappointed, the queen mother sighed: "If you can live up to your expectations, it would be great to let Ai's family embrace their grandson earlier."
"The Empress Dowager, don't worry, there will be children sooner or later." Hua Chun said: "It's just that the harem is dangerous, and the concubines have been neglected by the emperor. I don't hope to have a man and a woman. I just hope that I can live in peace."
If she really has a body, seeing Concubine Shu's posture, why don't she kill her secretly
Sighing, the Empress Dowager supported her forehead and said, "It's also Aijia's fault, wanting to embrace the emperor's grandson too much, which made the fighting in the harem even more intense. It's time for Aijia to reflect on it."
Hua Chun nodded, looking at Concubine Shu's gnashing of teeth from the corner of her eyes, she thought that this problem has been settled today, and there will be no peace in the future.
Aunt Yue Jian came back after a while, bowed to the Queen Mother and said: "There is indeed no hidden guard in the Hall of Mental Cultivation as mentioned by Concubine Shu."
"Impossible!" Xu frowned: "It must have been hidden! You can't find it, but I saw it with my own eyes. It is absolutely impossible to wrong her!"
"Why don't you go find it yourself?" the queen mother asked lightly.
Xu paused, aware of the empress dowager's dissatisfaction, but she was indeed not reconciled, if she couldn't find out, wouldn't she admit that she was planting the ground to frame Concubine De
Gritting his teeth, he was about to say that it would be better to clear the roster of hidden guards in the Qing Palace, when he heard the emperor's voice from outside:
"Why is it so lively?"
Hua Chun raised his eyebrows, looked back, Yu Wenjie stepped in with his long legs lifted, his face was still expressionless, and he went forward to greet the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager nodded, motioning him to sit down, and told him what happened just now, then looked at Concubine Shu and said: "Ms. Xu insisted that there are hidden guards in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and she is going to investigate."
"Dark guards?" The emperor frowned, and looked at Hua Chun with a dark face: "There are dark guards in your palace?"
Didn't his grandma give it to you? Hua Chun pursed her lips, complaining in her heart, while cooperating nervously said: "Your Majesty, my concubine has been wronged!"
"This kind of thing must be strictly investigated!" Yu Wenjie said to the queen mother very seriously: "If it is found out to be true, it is a serious crime that should be expelled from the palace!"
The queen mother was taken aback, but she didn't expect her royal son to be so serious. She thought that after pampering Hua Chun for a while, she had some kind of friendship. She didn't expect that this ruthless person was really the iron-blooded emperor.
With his words, Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "The emperor personally sent people to investigate, and naturally those people will have nowhere to hide."
"En." The emperor nodded, looked at Hua Chun coldly and said, "I will check the roster of the hidden guards, and then let people search for the Heart Palace, do you have any objections?"
Glancing at him aggrievedly, Hua Chun whispered: "Since it is such a serious crime, what should I do if my concubine was wronged?"
"If someone is wronged, then we will punish the wronged person. I will never take sides!" The emperor said solemnly, "However, it is impossible to play tricks under my nose."
Hua Chun lowered his head, and could see Concubine Shu's gloating expression, hesitated for a while, and said, "Then check it out."
Seeing that she was so unconfident, and the emperor was partial to her, Mrs. Xu was really happy. She didn't think about what to do if she really couldn't find it. Instead, she walked to the emperor and encouraged them to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation together. have a look.
"Since the emperor is the master, then the Ai family will not meddle in their own business." The Queen Mother said: "You go, it will save the Ai family trouble."
"Yes." The emperor nodded, glanced at Hua Chun, and pulled Concubine Shu out.
Mrs. Xu was so happy, she let out all the anger she had just received, walked beside the emperor with her chin raised, and looked at Hua Chun from the corner of her eyes.
The latter followed them quietly with a calm expression.
Going back this way, anyone with eyes could tell that the emperor was seeking an explanation for Concubine Shu, but a group of imperial guards searched the Hall of Mental Cultivation for a long time, and the emperor opened the secret box to check the roster for a long time, and finally had a very helpless expression Looking at Concubine Shu, she said, "There really are no hidden guards in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, where did the people you saw come from?"
Mrs. Xu was dumbfounded, pointing to the main hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation and said: "It's inside, you come with my concubine!"
The emperor nodded, and let her pull him into the main hall, and then saw her pointing at the wall next to her: "It just popped out from here."
Yu Wenjie was silent, looked at the solid wall, and his eyes fell on Xu Shi complicatedly: "Tell me, what kind of person can hide in the wall?"
Xu was taken aback for a moment, then panicked: "But the concubine did indeed see..."
"Could it be that the empress is hallucinating?" Hua Chun stood behind, and said quietly: "In this harem, if you do too many sinful things, you will always be entangled by unclean things. Instead of continuing to frame it, you might as well go back and find someone. Taoist, take a look."
Concubine Shu looked at her with dissatisfaction and said: "Don't try to scare me, I am not afraid of ghosts!"
Shrugging his shoulders, Hua Chun said: "The Empress Dowager checked and said there is no, you don't believe it, now even the emperor came to check in person and said no, you still don't believe it, the concubine has nothing to say about this matter, everything is up to the emperor's decision."
Concubine Shu immediately turned to look at the emperor: "You have to trust me."
"I do believe in you very much." Yu Wenjie's eyes were full of sincerity: "However, you let me down. There is a secret guard in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. It is clearly groundless, but you made a fuss in front of the Queen Mother, and let me go. She will not live in peace. Before I came here, I said that if Concubine De is wronged, I will punish those who wronged her."
"Your majesty..." Concubine Shu stared and shook her head: "The concubine really didn't wrong her!"
"That's the truth. Although I really want to take sides, if I don't set up a good rule this time, there will be more disturbances in the palace in the future." Looking at her very regretfully, the emperor said: "Let Concubine Wu Gui assist you in managing the harem." .”
With a shock, Concubine Shu raised her head in disbelief: "Your Majesty?"
This is said lightly, but is it to divide the power in her hands? Or share with Concubine Wu
Let's not talk about why the punishment is so heavy, it's about Concubine De, how much does the emperor want to see Concubine De, so that he bypasses her and gives power to a noble concubine
"That's it." He waved impatiently. The emperor waved his sleeves and left without looking at Hua Chun.
Concubine Shu slumped down on the chair next to her in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.
Hua Chun yawned, and was about to be seen off by someone, and then went to rest, when she heard Xu said quietly: "Don't be complacent, at least the emperor has me in his heart, but he doesn't have you at all. Today's enmity, this palace is take note of it."
Looking back at her, Hua Chun said: "Are you stupid? Why do people like me who have no competition with you have to be made enemies by you? You have time to spend with me, so why not deal with Concubine Wu Gui Well, even a noble concubine can snatch food from you."
Sounds like it makes sense? Xu paused and thought about it carefully. Indeed, if she continued to be an enemy of Concubine De, the pressure would be great enough, and it would not be enough to deal with Concubine Wu Gui.
After hesitantly looking at Hua Chun, Xu stood up, and said in a soft voice: "I heard from people in this palace that Defei is a very magnanimous person."
"Well, you don't have to put a high hat on me." Hua Chun waved his hand and said, "I don't like to be fussy. If you beat my palace man today, I beat your palace man too. This matter is evened out. If you If you don't take the initiative to provoke me, I will definitely not interfere in the affairs between you, let alone make trouble."
Nodding, Mrs. Xu kept today's events in her heart, and said with a smile on her face: "It's the best thing to be able to settle the past, and your empress should also be careful. You have a noble status now, so it is inevitable that someone wants to use you to get along with me. Right."
"I understand." Hua Chun said, "Go back."
"Yes." With a slight nod, full of anger, Xu shook his sleeves and left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
This good show made Xu Guipin and others enjoy watching it. Concubine De was not hurt at all, but she still didn't get the emperor's favor. Concubine Shu lost half of her power and her vitality was greatly injured. They reaped the benefits and immediately helped the noble concubine Wu to the throne, and they were very supportive.
"Speaking of which, Concubine De is also a different kind." Xu Guipin couldn't help sighing: "It's true that she doesn't get involved in anything, but she can get out of nothing when she encounters anything."
"That's a smart person." Concubine Wu Gui said, "So don't take the initiative to provoke her in the future, and let the people from Concubine Shu's side go first if you have anything to do."
"Understood." Everyone nodded.
The emperor turned back and entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Hua Chun looked at him with a smile and said, "The emperor is also an acting player."
"..." I couldn't understand what she was talking about, but Yu Wenjie still brought Feng Yuyi here, carefully felt her pulse, and made sure that she was not injured from today's tossing, so he sat beside her and said, "I didn't expect that, You have a way with other women, too."
"Hehe." Hua Chun's smile faded: "If possible, I don't want to deal with them."
