After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Concubine Ming looked at Murong Zhixi, waiting for her to nod, but Murong Zhixi kept her head lowered and did not compromise quickly this time.

"Yunxiang, pour me a glass of water."

Liu Yunxiang thought about it, poured a glass of water, bent down and handed it to Murong Zhixi.

Murong Zhixi whispered in a voice that only two people could hear: "Qingpinghou is the elder brother of Concubine Ming."

Liu Yunxiang understood that Qingpinghou was the brother of Concubine Ming, and her daughter was the niece of Concubine Ming. She wanted to attract King Ying to join her camp and help her son win the throne.

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while, then turned around and walked to Concubine Ming, saying, "When the servant came over, His Highness told me that the Concubine has always treated him as his own son and planned everything for him. He respects the Concubine very much in his heart."

Concubine Ming's expression softened a little, "There is no need for us, mother and son, to say such outspoken words."

"And that night, His Highness knew that the empress had the intention of putting the mandarin duck next to him. He had good intentions, but really..." Liu Yunxiang paused and lowered his voice, "His Highness is extremely distressed, but he really has no intention."

Concubine Ming frowned, her thoughts turned around, and she said, "I have brought Imperial Physician Qin here, so that I can give him a diagnosis and treatment."

"Your Majesty, Your Highness will not lie to others about this kind of thing, right? If this matter gets spread, Your Highness will lose face, so it is best for Your Majesty to pretend that you don't know anything, so as not to create a gap between mother and son."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"I don't dare. I'm just sending a message on behalf of His Highness. He also said that if the empress brings up the matter of going to the concubine, he will tell the empress that he does not want to harm other people's girls. If the empress insists on marrying him a concubine, he will go to the girl's house. Tell him about his hidden illness, and if people don't mind, he will accept your mother's kindness."

The corner of Concubine Ming's mouth twitched, but he did not refuse or slap her in the face. But if he went to the Qingping Marquis Mansion to reveal his hidden illness, wouldn't it be the case that she knew the King of England had that illness and still persuaded her niece to marry him? , ruining the niece's lifelong happiness.

How could she have the shame to return to her parents' home in the future?

What's more important is that there is a estrangement between her and her brother, and he may not be able to plan for her and her son wholeheartedly in the future.

Concubine Ming narrowed her eyes and then said: "I am doing it for his own good, so if he doesn't want to, just forget it."

"Your Highness knows your kindness and has kept it in mind."

There was a hidden thorn in these words. When Concubine Ming looked at the maid in front of her, she had to admit that she was clever, but she was playing tricks on her eyes. How could she forgive her easily?

"I have some precious medicinal materials that can replenish kidney qi. How about this? You follow me into the palace and give these medicinal materials to His Highness."

Liu Yunxiang was stunned. He might as well have done this trick.

"Your Highness also told me some other things. If you don't let other maids follow you into the palace..."

"Why, I can't even use a maid from your Royal Palace?" After saying that, Concubine Ming looked at Murong Zhixi, "Princess, what do you think?"

Murong Zhixi was still confused, "But Yunxiang isn't..."

"Ahem!" Liu Yunxiang hurriedly interrupted Murong Zhixi's words. If she said it, wouldn't it cause trouble for her and Yan Mu. They had already offended Han Lin, but they didn't want to offend Concubine Ming again, "Concubine Ming, Your Highness has something urgent to do with your servant, why don’t you go back and tell your Highness first?”

"You still want me to wait for you as a slave?"

"no……"

"Then stop being so nagging!"

With that said, Concubine Ming turned around and walked out. Liu Yunxiang wanted to talk to Murong Zhixi, but two nuns in palace clothes stepped forward and pushed her out.

"Princess, please send someone to help this servant deliver a message to His Highness!"

Let him enter the palace and save me!

Liu Yunxiang was pushed into a carriage, with two fierce-looking nuns guarding her. She couldn't help but lower her head and sigh. What is this? She helped Leng Yuxie solve the problem, but she also had to bear the anger of Concubine Ming. This time she entered the palace, she would have to suffer physical pain.

The carriage heard the entrance of the palace, and Liu Yunxiang got out of the car with the two nuns. There was already a phoenix chariot waiting for her. Concubine Ming got on the phoenix chariot, and the remaining palace maids and guards followed behind.

The palace walls are very high. When entering the palace, there is a long corridor. The queue is actually very long. Liu Yunxiang follows at the end and cannot see the front at a glance. This Ming Dynasty imperial concubine's travels are really big, and think about Aunt Qiu, this majestic queen, wandering around the market, breaking her legs for money.

Thinking of Aunt Qiu, Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but smile.

Since returning to Jin'an, she has been to the kindergarten several times, but Aunt Wen said that she had never been there. She must have been in the palace and was temporarily trapped by something.

If she is in the palace, I wonder if I can meet her this time.

The imperial concubine Ming Dynasty lived in Chonghua Palace, and the interior and exterior of the palace were decorated very luxuriously and exquisitely. Liu Yunxiang took a quick look at it and realized that the Chonghua Palace was very big, with many maids and eunuchs, but it was really unnecessary for so many people to serve one person.

When Concubine Ming returned to the palace, she went to the bedroom first. She waited in the hall of the outer hall, and the two nuns were also waiting there. She was like a prisoner awaiting trial.

Leng Yuxie, you'd better come here quickly, or I'll never help you again!

After waiting for a short time, a palace maid came over carrying a tray. The palace maid walked towards her. Liu Yunxiang glanced at the palace maid first, and then saw that there was a jade Ruyi in the tray she was carrying.

What is this for? Could it be that it was given to her as a reward?

She sneered inwardly, finding the idea too funny.

The palace maid walked up to her, raised her head and glanced at her, then picked up the jade Ruyi and smashed it to the ground under Liu Yunxiang's puzzled gaze.

It was a very good jade, but it was broken into several pieces.

"you……"

"You are so brave, you dare to break the jade Ruyi that the emperor gave to the empress!" The palace maid took the lead.

Liu Yunxiang blinked, "It was clearly you who broke it, or you broke it on purpose!"

The palace maid had a look on her face and looked back at the two nuns, "Two nuns, have you seen it?"

The two nuns nodded, and one of them held her hand and said calmly: "We saw that this maid from the British Prince's Palace did not understand the rules and wandered around the hall. When she saw the jade Ruyi on the Duobao shelf, she took it out to play with. It was shattered by my hand."

Liu Yunxiang chuckled, and she didn't have to defend herself. This was obviously ordered by Concubine Ming. She wanted to teach her a lesson, but there had to be a reason, so she forced one on her.

She couldn't explain clearly because this was Concubine Ming's territory and no one was interested in her.

At this time, Concubine Ming changed her clothes and came out. She glanced at Liu Yunxiang and sneered coldly: "I just asked Aunt Duan, you must be the maid of the British Prince's Palace."

Liu Yunxiang pursed his lips and smiled: "Since the Queen knows, please let the civilian woman go. If you are angry, just ask the King of England to reprimand her."

"But it was you who ruined my affairs."

"I also listen to His Highness."

Concubine Ming sat down on the Arhat bed in front of the hall and glanced at the ground, "You broke the jade Ruyi that the emperor rewarded me with. This is a serious crime in the palace!"

"The empress knows who broke this jade Ruyi."

Concubine Ming smiled and said, "It's you who I say you are!"

"Then I can only cry out that I was wronged."

"Shout, no one can help you in this deep palace. You are probably still waiting for the King of England to save you, but you are overthinking. How could the King of England offend me for you?"

After speaking, Concubine Ming narrowed her eyes and said with a stern face: "No one can make me suffer, but you are too ignorant! Someone, drag her out and hit her fifty times first!"
