Chapter 318

A delicate female voice came from outside the hall, and the expressions of Zhao Qingcheng and Su Shu changed.

Xia Cao looked outside and found that it was Concubine Yue who had arrived, and couldn't help but scream in her heart:

This imperial concubine has not been dismissed yet, why is there another concubine Yue Yue?
Could it be that they all knew about the news that the empress had left the palace privately, and they all came here by appointment to catch the empress's sore feet?

Zhao Qingcheng has regained his composure, looking at Concubine Yue with a half-smile:

"Why, concubine Yue also came to visit the empress?"

"Yes……"

Concubine Yue slightly blessed her body:

"The concubine heard that the empress is unwell and sleeps restlessly, so she specially sewed a sachet with her own hands, hoping that the empress can take care of herself..."

"Concubine Yue is very cute."

Zhao Qingcheng snorted coldly, turned to Xia Cao and said:

"Why, can't the two empresses persuade Miss Xia Cao to wake up the queen?"

Originally, Zhao Qingcheng just wanted to try his luck.

The informant from Fengzao Palace came to report that the Queen did not show up all day today.

Although he doesn't go out of the palace on weekdays, he often walks in the palace.

And today, Xia Cao's behavior is also very strange, as if something important is hidden in her heart.

When Zhao Qingcheng came to Fengzao Palace and saw Xia Cao trying to evade the matter in every possible way, he became even more convinced that something had happened to the queen.

Thinking of all the previous signs, Zhao Qingcheng couldn't help inferring that the queen might not be sick at all, and she wasn't in the palace yet.

If she can grasp the queen's handle, she will not be able to reverse the emperor's dissatisfaction with her before.

"Sister Imperial Concubine, this concubine dares to say something, sister's words are inappropriate."

Xia Cao was in a dilemma, trying to refuse Zhao Qingcheng's request, but Concubine Yue spoke first.

She smiled and took a few steps forward:
"Even though the imperial concubine's elder sister is more powerful than me, there is still a queen above her. Does my elder sister think that if the empress is sick, she can be sent by my elder sister?"

"You! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Zhao Qingcheng was annoyed and anxious, and his eyes were a bit harsh.

Is Concubine Yue accusing her of overstepping?

"Sister, why should you be so angry? The concubine is just asking. If my sister is not guilty, of course it is not about you. It is only natural for me to wait for the concubine and the empress here. Miss Xia Cao, don't worry."

Concubine Yue saluted with a slight smile, Zhao Qingcheng was choked by her and couldn't speak.

If Concubine Yue wasn't here, she could just let Su Shu break in, but now...

Xia Cao breathed a sigh of relief, at least Concubine Yue was not aggressive and asked her to invite the queen.

But when will the empress come back...

Concubine Yue sat quietly at the side, drinking the tea brought by the maid.

Zhao Qingcheng could only sit down angrily, secretly scolding Yue Fei for pretending.

The two sat opposite each other for almost [-] quarters of an hour, when Xia Cao suddenly heard a sound coming from the inner hall.

She was secretly happy, and was about to go back to the inner hall to have a look.

"Why are the two concubines sitting here, where is the queen?"

When Yan Mingxi stepped into the main hall of Fengzao Palace, he couldn't help laughing when he saw Concubine Yue and Concubine Huang Guifei's eyes met.

Wang He also said that concubine Yueyue often visited Fengzao Palace in recent days, and now it seems that Qingcheng also cares about the queen very much.

Zhao Qingcheng was secretly proud that the emperor was finally here. How could Xia Cao shirk the blame this time?

"The emperor is here, why don't you invite the empress to come out?"

She glared at Xia Cao.

"Yes."

Xia Cao lowered her head and returned to the inner hall respectfully, Zhao Qingcheng showed sharp eyes behind her.
