A palace full of cannon fodder reads my heart, and ladies are killing each other indiscriminately

"Oh? Really?" The queen looked surprised, but soon realized something was wrong.

Normally, Concubine Zhao is not good at caring for her, and besides, she and Concubine Zhao still have unresolved grievances and misunderstandings.

How could he agree to her coming back with Gu Huaijin?

"My son saw Ruanruan alone in the Royal Garden and was worried that she would not be safe alone, so he simply brought her back to Fengyi Palace."

Gu Huaijin explained with a smile.

When the queen heard this, she immediately frowned and lowered her head to ask Gu Ruanruan softly.

"Why is Ruanruan alone in the Imperial Garden? What do the people your mother and concubine arrange to serve you do?"

The latter sentence obviously contained some anger.

Gu Ruoruan opened her mouth, but she didn't expect the queen to be so angry because of her.

She also realized that she seemed to be in trouble.

"It's none of Sister Yunzhi's business. Su Ruanruan ate cakes secretly. She was afraid that she would find out, so she sneaked out of Chenghuan Palace."

The queen immediately showed a wry smile and pinched her little fleshy face.

"Concubine Zhao, it's true. Since you want to eat, why not give you some?"

Look at the poor little Ruanruan, he has to sneak around just to get a bite to eat.

"I came to Fengyi Palace today. What do you want to eat? Ruanruan, let me know as soon as possible." The queen called Su Ye: "If you want to eat delicious food in the future, come to the queen mother. The queen mother will ask Su Ye to instruct the kitchen."

"Mother, you are such a good person~"

Gu Ruan softly called her mother.

Then he hugged her back and started acting cute.

As soon as Fengyi Gonggang's dishes were put on the table, someone outside announced that Concubine Zhao was here.

"Mother concubine~"

Gu Ruoruan saw Concubine Zhao's aggressive look.

He was so frightened that he hid in the queen's arms.

Seeing Gu Ruoruan in the queen's arms, Concubine Zhao's temples jumped with anger.

"Gu Ruoruan, why did you come to Fengyi Palace?"

When Concubine Zhao heard that Gu Ruoruan had come to Fengyi Palace, she was so angry that she rushed all the way there.

She hadn't spoken yet, but she was obedient and actually hid in the queen's arms.

Her disagreement with the queen was no longer a matter of one day or two.

As long as she is favored in the harem for a day, she will be a thorn in the flesh and a thorn in the queen's side.

This silly boy, does he know that Fengyi Palace is dangerous?

The queen, in particular, is a duplicitous person.

The queen stood up and patted Gu Ruoruan's back.

It was rare that I didn't have a cold face with Concubine Zhao.

Gu Huaijin on the side thought to herself, "How do these slaves spread the word?"

He immediately explained: "My son, I pay my respects to the noble concubine."

"My son saw Ruanruan lying alone on the rockery in the imperial garden. He was worried that something might happen to her, so he coaxed her to find delicious food in Fengyi Palace, and then came to Fengyi Palace."

"Ruanruan is young, so please don't be cruel to her."

"Even the people you chose to serve, Imperial Concubine, can't do it either. The children have run out and no one knows."

The queen said coldly.

"Mother concubine?" Gu Ruanruan looked at Concubine Zhao: "It's none of Sister Yunzhi's business, she's just a greedy person."

Looking at Yunzhi kneeling on the ground, shivering, she felt guilty.

He hugged her legs and climbed up like a tree, making coquettish sounds and acting cute.

"Concubine, Concubine Ruanruan will never be greedy again and sneaked out of Chenghuan Palace. Concubine…if you kill Sister Yunzhi, who will make delicious food for Ruanruan in the future?"

Yunzhi raised his head and looked at Gu Ruoruan, who was acting coquettishly towards Concubine Zhao, and her eyes turned red with emotion.

"Princess, my empress, this slave did not take good care of me, so I voluntarily accepted the punishment."

"Now that you know you were wrong, go back and kneel down for an hour."

Concubine Zhao didn't know if she was helpless because of Gu Ruoran's entanglement, or she felt that she was in Fengyi Palace at this time and didn't want the queen to see the joke.

She is also a face-saving person.

"Thank you, empress."

Yunzhi got up and went back to Chenghuan Palace to receive his punishment.

"Since Concubine Zhao is here, why not stay here and have lunch before leaving. I have already ordered people to prepare Ruan Ruan's favorite dishes."

The queen took a deep breath, held back her temper, and was a little more patient with Concubine Zhao.

I don’t know if the two of them are incompatible with each other, or if they have naturally hostile temperaments.

Every time we meet, we can't say more than two or three sentences before getting choked up.

The queen didn't like Concubine Zhao being domineering, and Concubine Zhao felt that she was extremely hypocritical in pretending to be generous and virtuous.

Coupled with the emperor's intentional or unintentional guidance, the two were naturally incompatible.

Gu Ruoruan was still thinking about the sweet-scented osmanthus cake brought by Gu Huaijin, and stared at Concubine Zhao with her head raised.

"Mother concubine~"

Concubine Zhao pursed her lips. Although she was not happy to stay in Fengyi Palace, she still couldn't stand her daughter's watery eyes.

That’s all, it’s just a meal.

She didn't believe that the queen really dared to poison it.

Because of Concubine Zhao's sudden arrival, the meal was not a pleasant one.

If I were to say that the only person who enjoyed the happiest meal was Gu Ruoruan.

The queen's thoughts were spinning, and Gu Huaijin kept pricking up her ears, hoping to hear some favorable opinions from Gu Ruoruan.

听了半响，脑海里都只有循环播放两个字：“好次，好次~?3?8(?0?7?1?1`?3?8)”

Concubine Zhao is absent-minded, so her appetite will naturally not be very good.

Eat without talking and sleep without talking.

After the food was removed from the table, the queen ordered the maid to soak the red robe.

"Concubine, would you like to accompany me to the side hall to sit for a while?"

Concubine Zhao originally planned to finish her meal and leave after taking care of herself.

Unexpectedly, the queen actually allowed her to stay for dinner for the first time. After dinner, she did not intend to send her away, but kept her here.

Concubine Zhao couldn't figure out what the queen wanted to do for a while, and stared at her suspiciously.

The queen smiled sweetly: "Why don't you give me the favor, your concubine? Or do you think the tea in Fengyi Palace is not to your liking?"

"Humph, I have never had any good tea. Since the Queen is so gracious, it is not impossible to stay and drink two cups."

She snorted arrogantly, flicked her sleeves, and followed the queen to the side hall.

The queen walked a few steps, then stopped, turned around and said to Gu Huaijin and Gu Ruoruan with a smile: "I have something private to tell Concubine Zhao. Huaijin, please take Ruanruan to the imperial garden to eat."

Concubine Zhao frowned slightly and stepped back.

With such a solemn appearance, what on earth is the queen trying to do?

Gu Ruoruan blinked her eyes. She was not worried about her mother and concubine, but she didn't notice any malice in the queen.

Gu Huaijin lowered his head and thought for a moment. He didn't know what his mother was thinking.

Logically speaking, he is already a disabled person and has no chance of becoming the emperor.

"My son, I obey."

But in any case, it must be because of her that the Queen Mother sent him and Ruanruan away at this time.

Concubine Zhao didn't know what the queen was doing, so she asked the palace people behind her to guard outside, leaving only Jinxiu.

"Queen, what do you have to say to me? Why do you need to be so secretive?"

Concubine Zhao said a little unhappy.

She felt that the queen deliberately brought Gu Ruoruan to Fengyi Palace, just to wait for her here.

"Concubine, don't be impatient. When you meet someone, you will know why I want to keep you here."

The queen winked at Su Ye, and Su Ye immediately understood.

After quietly retreating, within half a quarter of an hour, a young eunuch came in with his mouth gagged.

"What does the queen mean?"

Concubine Zhao looked at the little eunuch kneeling in front of her. If she remembered correctly, this little eunuch looked familiar.

The queen asked someone to remove the smelly socks from the little eunuch's mouth.

When the little eunuch saw the queen and the concubine, he was so frightened that his body was soaked in cold sweat.

Kneeling on the ground, he kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy: "The Queen, please spare my life. I don't know what I did wrong, so I asked the Queen and the Concubine to tie me up."

The queen sneered: "You really don't know?"

Concubine Zhao was even more confused.

Although this person looked familiar to her, she was convinced that she had been focusing all her attention on Yun Weiwei and the emperor recently and had no intention of attacking the queen.

"Which palace did you serve in?"

The queen asked unhurriedly.

"Slave, this slave has always been in Chenghuan Palace and has never been anywhere."

The little eunuch looked up at the queen. When he saw the coercion emanating from the queen, he shrank in fear and lied with a guilty conscience.

Chenghuan Palace?

Is he from Chenghuan Palace?

Concubine Zhao looked at Jinxiu, who shook her head: "I have never seen him before, but... in the past few days, a young eunuch said he was seriously ill, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs transferred two more."

Jinxiu looked at the little eunuch and seemed to have thought of something.

His face immediately turned ugly: "Empress..."

She did not continue speaking, but secretly looked at the queen.

The queen naturally paid attention to the expressions of her master and servant, and smiled to help Concubine Zhao clear her doubts.

"I'll answer this for you. You used to be a young eunuch serving in Huaqing Palace. In the past few days... you were transferred to Chenghuan Palace."

"This, slave...even if I was in Huaqing Palace before, I can't prove anything."

The little eunuch said unwillingly.

He was already wet underneath.

Concubine Zhao wrinkled her nose in disgust and covered her nose with a handkerchief.

"This little eunuch is right. Even if he once worked in the Huaqing Palace, he can't prove anything." His clear eyes showed stupidity: "But you, the Queen, why do you know so much about our Chenghuan Palace?"

The queen's face froze, and soon she changed her face again.

"This little eunuch used to serve the Sixth Prince, but he was suddenly transferred to your Chenghuan Palace. Don't you have any doubts at all?"

The queen regretted meddling in her own business, and felt that Concubine Zhao was too stupid and deserved to be deceived by the emperor.

Concubine Zhao glanced at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground. Of course she knew that this little eunuch was sent by Huaqing Palace.

She not only knew that someone from Huaqing Palace was in her Chenghuan Palace, but also knew people from Qianqing Palace and Fengyi Palace.

She was just pretending not to know. She just didn't understand why the queen was so kind suddenly.

After waiting for a long time, the queen didn't tell her her true purpose, so she said impatiently.

"How old is the Sixth Prince? Maybe it was an accident."

The queen's face stiffened. The sixth prince was only five years old this year. No one would have thought that the five-year-old sixth prince would be so scheming.

"That's all, take him down and deal with him properly."

Disposed of?

That is to say, this little eunuch will not survive.

Concubine Zhao's face was pale and she didn't even look at the little eunuch. The little eunuch opened her mouth to cry out, but was gagged again and led away. ?0?2
