   Chapter 571 Sickness (1)

   Queen Qiao's illness spread throughout the harem in the shortest possible time.

  The concubines who didn't know the inside information went to Jiaofang Palace as usual to greet them, and they all ate behind closed doors.

The palace guards guarding the palace gate said the same thing to everyone: "His Royal Highness was assassinated and injured, the empress was overly worried and her illness became worse. From today onwards, the palace will be closed for rest. When the empress recovers, she will be summoned to all the concubines. "

The implication of    is that without Queen Qiao's oral order, no one will come to greet her in the future.

   Obviously, when they came to greet you yesterday, they could still go outside Queen Qiao's bedroom. Why can't I even enter the palace gate of Jiaofang Hall today?

  The talented and beautiful people who have entered the palace are full of doubts but dare not talk much, so they all go away.

   Yang Concubine was the only one who refused to leave and looked anxious: "The Empress is recuperating, what about the Sixth Prince?"

  The sixth prince is still raised in the Jiaofang Palace, and she can only take a cheeky look when she comes to greet him. Queen Qiao's palace is closed, how can she see her son?

The palace guard who was guarding the gate received the warning long ago, and replied respectfully: "Go back to the concubine Yang, the empress was unable to take care of the sixth prince when she was ill, so she ordered the sixth prince to be carried to Shouning Palace last night. Concubine Yang wanted to see His Royal Highness the sixth prince. , go to Shouning Palace to ask for peace."

   Yang Concubine breathed a sigh of relief, a look of joy flashed in her eyes.

  The soft-eared Empress Dowager Zhao is much more fooled than Queen Qiao. Furthermore, it is better for a child to be raised by the grandmother's side than to be raised in front of the first-born mother.

   Yang Concubine did not delay for a moment, turned around and went to Shouning Palace to greet her.

   When we arrived at Shouning Palace, the first person I met was Concubine Qin.

   "My concubine has seen Concubine Qin." After Yang Concubine fell out of favor, she became much more low-key and honest, and did not dare to be slighted when she saw Concubine Qin.

   Concubine Qin smiled affectionately: "We are all concubines who serve the emperor. I am a few years older than you, so just call me Sister Qin."

   In terms of age, Concubine Qin was two years older than Concubine Yang's biological mother. However, since they are all concubines in the harem, they should be called sisters.

   Yang Concubine pursed her lips in her heart, with a look of flattery on her face, she changed her voice and called Concubine Qin.

Concubine Qin held Yang Concubine's hand and sighed in a low voice: "The sixth prince was well raised in the Jiaofang Palace, but something happened to the prince, and the empress was seriously ill. Now, the sixth prince has to be held in Shouning temporarily. Come to raise him in the palace."

   Mentioning the sixth prince, Yang Concubine's eyes showed eagerness: "Sister Qin, can I meet the sixth prince?"

   Concubine Qin's eyes flashed, and she smiled softly: "It is natural for mothers and children to be close, and the empress dowager is the most benevolent. I will accompany you to ask the empress dowager, and the empress does not agree."

   Yang Concubine was overjoyed, and hurriedly collected her robes and saluted her thanks: "I have worked for Concubine Qin."

   Empress Dowager Zhao is soft-hearted, but not everyone's words work. In the harem, Concubine Qin was the closest and favorite of the Queen Mother Zhao. Concubine Qin said one sentence in front of the Queen Mother Zhao, which was equal to ten sentences of others.

   Yang Concubine knew that Concubine Qin was intending to close her, so she had to hold her nose and bow her head.

   Concubine Qin was very satisfied when she saw Yang Concubine being so polite.

  The reason for Queen Qiao's "calling sickness" can't be hidden from others, but not from her. Now the crown prince's injury is unknown and the situation is in danger. Crown princess Lu Mingyu is not in the palace, and there are only three children left in the east palace. Queen Qiao was banned again...

   With such a good opportunity, I can’t help myself if I don’t make trouble.

   Conquer Yang Concubine first, and use the stone of Yang Concubine to explore the movement in the future. There is a lot of movement, and it is the stones that are worn out, and it is always impossible to implicate myself.

   Concubine Qin thought about it, and became more and more affectionate with Yang Concubine, and took Yang Concubine's hand into the Empress Dowager Zhao's bedroom.

  …

   Outside the Hall of Jiaofang.

  The concubines all dispersed, leaving only Concubine Meng and Wang Jieyu.

   Concubine Meng watched coldly as the concubines were sent away one by one, sneering in her heart.

  What kind of confinement to recuperate, such a shameful excuse to fool others is fine, to her, but it is not at all useful. After all, she had "closed the palace to recuperate" for more than a year.

   Concubine Meng not only refused to leave, but also put on a look of watching the fun.

Wang Jieyu was really worried, she frowned, and said softly to the gatekeeper, "The Queen is resting, I don't dare to disturb you. Please pass a message to the lady on my behalf. , just send someone to send a letter to Fanghua Palace."

   As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sneer next to him: "The queen has a good dog. I don't know if this dog will bite the master back when given the chance."

   This is so harsh.

  Wang Jieyu, who was always good-natured, was furious in her heart, and suddenly turned her head to look at Concubine Meng: "Concubine Meng, please respect yourself."

   Concubine Meng's old enemy was Queen Qiao, but in recent years, Concubine Meng hated Wang Jieyu the most.

   Looking at myself in the mirror is like yesterday's yellow flower, getting old day by day. Wang Jieyu, who looks like her own, is as charming as a flower, and her holy favor is enduring. How could Concubine Meng not hate her?

   It's just that Wang Jieyu kept her head down and never competed with people. She didn't have a chance to provoke and vent her anger.

   This time is a good opportunity.

Concubine Meng raised her brows, but she didn't smile: "What do you mean by Wang Jieyu? Where am I not being self-respecting? What I said just now is the truth. However, the truth is always a bit harsh. Be a thief. When the people heard it, it was inevitable that they would feel guilty, and even become angry with shame.”

  Wang Jieyu's pretty face was flushed with anger.

   She has always been low-key and unwilling to hold grudges with others. Concubine Meng provoked over and over again, but she mostly endured it silently.

   Today is unbearable.

"The Empress treats me like a mountain, and I am willing to be the dog by the Empress. Dogs are the most loyal and will never betray their masters." Wang Jieyu said coldly, "I think, Concubine Meng doesn't understand. After all, Concubine Meng is not qualified to be a dog owner."

   These words deeply stabbed Concubine Meng's sore spot.

   Concubine Meng's expression changed, and she glared at Wang Jieyu: "What did you say?"

  Wang Jieyu said lightly: "Mengfei Niangniang has such a good ear, how can I not hear what I say. Anyway, Meng Fei Niangniang wants to hear, I will say it again."

   "We have high and low rank, and we are all concubines. To put it bluntly, in this palace, only the Empress is the wife, and we are all concubines."

   "No matter whether you are a noble concubine or a good concubine, they are not serious masters. Who told us that we were not married in a bright red wedding dress? Concubine Meng said yes or no?"

Concubine Meng was so angry that her whole body was trembling, she pointed her finger at Wang Jieyu's nose, and yelled angrily: "Bah! You filthy bastard! The daughter of a criminal minister who was lucky enough to climb on the dragon's couch dared to be compared with me. !"

   That finger was only an inch away from poking Wang Jieyu's nose.

Wang Jieyu was not afraid at all, and sneered: "I am the daughter of a criminal minister, and the empress was chosen to serve the emperor seriously. But I didn't climb the dragon couch by myself. Concubine Meng is very familiar with such things, and I am ashamed. Not as good."

   Concubine Meng: "..."
