Conspiracy

Chapter 42

"Your imperial concubine, you may have forgotten the rules of etiquette in the palace, how dare you be rude to the empress!" Sister Qing who was beside the empress sternly said.

"Presumptuous! When this palace is talking to the empress, when will it be your turn to choke!"

The queen straightened her skirt and gave her a squinting look, "Concubine Yu, the matter of the crown prince's injury has not yet been determined. If you are too careful, you will be guilty of your own crime."

Concubine Yu retorted, "Empress, are you angry and want to implicate the innocent? If that's the case, my sister won't be in the way of my sister here. The emperor is still waiting in Kunhua Palace, so my sister will leave first." .”

Before the queen could speak, Concubine Yu Guifei finished speaking in a strange manner, covered her lips with a smile, and led the palace people away.

The imperial doctors returned to the inner hall of the prince's bedroom, and only the empress and the maids around her were left in the main hall.

The Queen's fingernails had penetrated into the palm of her hand, she was bleeding without knowing it, but she still had a correct smile on her face, which was not at all inappropriate.

Chunyin, the court lady in charge beside her, said angrily, "Mother, this noble concubine is becoming more and more presumptuous because of the emperor's favor."

"Heh, in this harem, there are always no flowers that are popular every day. If you want to be crowned in the sixth palace, how can you rely on a beautiful face to keep your holy favor. She has an arrogant and domineering personality, and she will only become a thorn in the hearts of others. Everywhere Relying on family background, you will not learn to win people's hearts and be kind to others like others, but will make countless enemies for yourself. If one day encounters a catastrophe, even if others do not make trouble, they will stand by and let it fend for itself."

The queen stared at the front with cold eyes, playing with the golden armor in her hand, her voice was weak but meaningful.

Sister Qing agreed, "Your Majesty's words are very true, but despite what she said, Concubine Yu's arrogance is on the bright side. Compared with some people who have always been eloquent and flattering, she is usually amiable, but if she becomes ruthless, That’s why it’s impossible to defend against.”

"It's always been like this in this harem to compete openly and secretly, comparing family background, scrambling for position, competing for seniority, and conspiring to win favor." The queen's tone was profound, with the corners of her lips slightly raised, "Let's go, go and see the prince."

"Yes, ma'am."

The queen stood up from her seat, and after finishing her attire, Chun Yin stepped forward to hold her hand, and the group headed towards the inner hall.

After Yu Guifei left the main hall, she headed straight for the vermilion gate of the Eastern Palace. As she walked, the beads and jade pendants on her waist collided with each other, making a jingling sound.

Watching the people in the Eastern Palace being tortured in the courtyard, the wailing and screaming could be heard endlessly, she closed the hair bun next to her ear, smiled sideways, and pursed her red lips lightly, "The emperor is merciful to show mercy, I hope you will wait a long time!" Lesson learned, be more careful in the future."

After saying that, she intentionally walked past Zhilan, Zhilan who was leaning against the board dropped her hands, Concubine Yu pretended to step on it unintentionally, and also crushed it twice hard.

"Ah! Zhilan, I'm really sorry." Concubine Yu raised her hand and yawned lightly, then said with a smile, "Everyone, take care, I'm tired, so I'll go back and rest first."

With ten fingers connected to her heart, Zhilan endured the pain, her eyes turned cold, she clenched her teeth as she watched Concubine Yu flaunt her departure.

Inside the inner hall of the East Palace, the scent of medicine permeated the air, and the imperial physicians and court officials stood guard in front of the prince's bed to meet emergency needs.

The queen entered and looked at Shang Yuchen lying there with a pale complexion, her eyes couldn't help but get moist.

Let go of Chun Yin's hand, walked quickly to the bedside, stroked the prince's cheek with trembling hands, two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks, "Chen'er."
