His Royal Highness, he is plotting against me

Chapter 182 Betrayal
However, Concubine Li has been enjoying herself these few days.

Even seeing Chen Fulin, the person who made her feel like a thorn in her throat, was able to greet her calmly and say a few words.

Chen Fulin was quite strange.

But considering that the only high-ranking concubines accompanying him this time is Li Fei, it's normal for her to be in such a good mood.

After all, Concubine De has to stay in the palace to take care of the harem, and Concubine Shu has never been on His Majesty's list of considerations.

But if Concubine Li thinks that she is the first one in this group of women... then she is wrong.

As far as she knows, that person is here this time... His Majesty asked for it three times and four times.

But on the surface, this matter is little known. The empress closed the palace to worship the Buddha. She has never appeared in front of people for many years, and she has never been on the list of attendants for this royal driving.

She knew about this because His Highness the Crown Prince mentioned it when he came back.

That day, someone in the court should have said something unpleasant, and a certain person's original words were quite rude:

"Let the Zhou officials set fires and not allow the people to light the lamps. The father wanted to take this opportunity to ask the mother to leave the palace and go to be at ease, but he still wanted to use others' hands to let Gu stay behind. It's just wishful thinking!"

Chen Fulin: ...cough cough!
In order to guarantee her right to travel, she remembered that she seemed to be angry at that time, and complained with His Highness for a while.

Their East Palace, according to His Highness the Prince's original plan, is that only their family of four will go there.

But Jiang Fuxuan had people coming and going in those days, and after Chen Fulin thought about it carefully, he added a few more.

One of them is Concubine Yang.

There are also two low-ranking Fengyi, their ancestral home is in Yuzhou, these two people have been in the palace for ten years, this trip can be regarded as full of their longing for their hometown.

Both she and Concubine Yang left the Eastern Palace, Chen Fulin thought about it, and under the astonished eyes of everyone in the Eastern Palace, he actually handed over the affairs of the Eastern Palace to Concubine Cui.

It has to be said that in those years, many people saw with their own eyes the scene where Concubine Cui and Chen Liangdi were as close as sisters.

When Chen Liangdi first entered the palace, if it wasn't for the side concubine Cui's protection, would she be able to go so smoothly?

But later Chen Liangdi was favored and gave birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor and the little princess, but side concubine Cui was completely left out in the cold.

In those days, many people secretly said that she crossed rivers and demolished bridges, that is to say, they later saw this Chen Liangdi's ruthless methods, and both Concubine Yang and Li Liangdi were killed, so they did not dare to provoke her.

But this time she handed over the internal affairs of the Eastern Palace to Concubine Cui...

Concubine Cui has been acting like a transparent person in the East Palace these years, and Concubine Yang can still go to Jiangfuxuan to see the eldest grandson of the emperor and the little princess.

This is really unpredictable.

Not to mention that others couldn't figure it out, even Cui Wan, who suddenly received the pair of cards and the key account book from Jiang Fuxuan, didn't quite understand it.

"You Liangdi..."

Cui Wan looked at the pile of things and frowned.

Would she still hand over the housekeeping to her?
Will she still trust her?

Su Yun who brought the things came with a smile on his face: "My concubine, my master has said that now that she is gone, only you can take on this task in the East Palace. I hope you will help me."

Cui Wan was silent.

She was naturally excited to be able to leave the palace to see the mountains and rivers other than Sili, but she also knew that she would not be on the list for this trip.

But when the list came out, she was inevitably a little disappointed.

But she naturally wouldn't think that the other party came to show off to her, but she never expected that she would do this...

"Okay, thank you master for me."

Although she didn't know why, she could feel that this was her kindness.

A heaven, a hell.

With a single thought, she stepped into hell with one foot. She thought that she would never be forgiven in this life, but she never thought about it.

Cui Wan was in a complicated mood at this moment.

Suyun smiled and said: "Where is the side concubine, it should be our master thanking you, thank you."

She saluted slightly and left Changting Hall.

After Suyun left, Luying stepped forward to collect the account books.

"My lady..."

She pursed her lips, for a moment she couldn't understand what Chen Liangdi meant by doing this.

Could it be because they are the only concubines left with the highest status?
No, taking care of the internal affairs of the Eastern Palace is actually nothing more than a matter of His Highness's words, Lin Zhao training Hu Liangyuan, no matter what position you are in, it is all right.

What's more, their side concubines have been neglected for five full years...

A few years ago, Luying was still very upset, she was angry with her master for not fighting, and asked Chen Liangdi to spoil the East Palace alone.

Even if their master is greedy, so what if they act?
Isn't Chen Liangdi still mother and child safe!

So their master locked herself in the Changting Hall, eating fast and praying to Buddha, as if atonement, which made Lu Ying very angry for a while.

But as time went by, the anger in her heart gradually subsided.

Occasionally, I saw those little gadgets that Chen Liangdi gave to her master, they were worthless, but each of them seemed to make people happy.

Even if the side concubine was ill, she would subconsciously remember to keep the room ventilated, instead of covering the doors and windows tightly so that the master would not see the wind.

In those days, their master and Chen Liangdi were as close as sisters.

Oh no, even the young ladies of the Cui family are not so close to their masters.

Lu Ying gradually understood... Perhaps, what their master and Chen Liangdi care about is betrayal.

Although she was very reluctant to admit it, the fact was that their master had betrayed Chen Liangdi.

So the sin in the master's heart is not because of her greed, she made a move on Chen Liangdi, but because of betrayal.

She betrayed Chen Liangdi, and she also betrayed herself.

She comes from a family, but she also hates the rules of the family.

She didn't want to be that kind of person, but she became that kind of person...

Cui Wan slowly recovered from the silence: "Put it away, you and Bai Lu will work hard to sort out these things and have a general idea in mind."

Your Highness and the others have only been away for two months, and almost all the people in the palace have left, and the rest of them can follow the old practice.

She looked at it for her, as a redemption.

"Yes."

Lu Ying went to the side room with her things in her arms, and sorted out these things with Bai Lu, without disturbing her master any more.

She knew that the complexity in the master's heart at this moment was not lighter than hers.

**
August [-]st.

It is advisable to travel.

The entire imperial city has been busy since three days ago.

The large items of luggage that should be traveling have already been transported to the pier one after another for loading. On the day of departure, everyone only needs to bring themselves and some accompanying items.

"Are you ready?"

Chen Fulin dressed up and walked out from the inner hall, looking at Qin Xu and Qin Xi brothers and sisters who were also dressed up.

Before the trip, His Majesty will first perform a ceremony to sacrifice to the sky, firstly to inform the world of the maiden voyage of the Grand Canal, and secondly to pray for heaven to bless them for a smooth trip.

Therefore, each of them has to dress up to attend, and can only change into casual clothes after boarding the ship.
