Under the Empress Dowager, all members will be King

Chapter 55
Concubine Zhen didn't have the slightest desire to survive. She looked at the flowers outside the window, and the buds of Huanyan flowers hung all over the branches. They were white and flawless, exuding a faint fragrance.

And what about her?She is a flower about to fade.

After leaving the food box, Gu Yinwei left with the almonds.

Chuchu ran out to greet her, "Master, did you bring Huanyanhua back?"

Gu Yin nodded slightly, turned around and entered the hall.

Chu Chu took a bouquet of flowers from Tian Tao, hugged them and asked, "Sister Thong Tao, why did the master go out with such an ugly face?"

"Changning Palace is not peaceful." Almond Tao gave a general explanation of the current situation of Changning Palace.

"Concubine Zhen used to be kind to her master, but now she's in trouble, let's help her out more."

"You are right."

"I'll make an extra portion for dinner, and let's send it to Concubine Zhen and Aunt Xiaoyu."

"Okay, I'll deliver it."

Xiaoyu hugged the peach and acted like a spoiled child, "Sister Tongtao, you are so kind."

"I have to work too, no, you can't cook and deliver food at the same time."

Gu Yinwei returned to the study room and took a pen to draw on the paper. She first drew a big circle, and then drew four small circles. The big circle represented the Queen Mother, and the small circle represented the Empress, Concubine Jin, Concubine Zhen, and Honorable concubine.

The empress dowager stuffed a lot of people into the emperor's harem, and if she was inconvenient to say something, she would use the concubine's mouth to say it to the emperor.

Now Concubine Zhen has turned against the Queen Mother, and there are still three people who can use the Queen Mother.

The other concubines who did not take refuge in the Queen Mother were on their own, not united at all.

Concubine Yi retired, Concubine Rou drank heavily, and Concubine Xian's foundation was not stable.

Gu Yinwei echoed what Wei Junzhai had said before, he said that the queen mother would soon cause trouble for the emperor.

Gu Yinwei stayed in the study all afternoon, no one came to disturb her, Tiao Tao changed the water twice and fed the parrot under the eaves once.

Gu Yinwei looked out of the window, it was getting dusk, and Tingtao was holding a food box, talking to her with a smile, "Master, I'll deliver food to Concubine Zhen."

Fengtao walked quickly, Chu Chu put the freshly cooked dinner on the dining table, and the maids brought hot water to help Gu Yinwei wash his hands.

Gu Yinwei slowly picked up the chopsticks, "You go down to eat too, I don't have to wait here for the time being."

Chu Chu smiled and ran out, "Master, take it easy, I'll go and see if the simmering sweet potatoes are cooked."

In the evening, Chuchu chatted with Panda, and Panda said that she wanted to eat stewed sweet potatoes, so Chuchu specially put two sweet potatoes to simmer, and the food was ready, waiting for her to eat when she came back.

Almond's footsteps are very fast, Jiaofang Hall is not far from Changning Palace, and the trip will not take more than a quarter of an hour. The sweet potatoes in the stove are fully ripe, and Almond has not returned yet.

Chu Chuyue waited more anxiously, Gu Yinwei said: "It's not an option to wait like this, let's go out and look for it."

The two asked questions as they walked, but the other maids avoided one after another, not daring to answer Gu Yinwei's question.

When passing by Jingyang Palace, Shuanglu beside Concubine Rou gave Gu Yin a message.

"Gu Changyi, don't go to Changning Palace, just look north."

"North? The north is the residence of the concubine Xiangui." Could it be that the almond peaches were seized by the concubine Xiangui.

Gu Yin thanked her slightly, and hurriedly walked north, when she passed a cool hall, she heard someone crying.

Chu Chu clenched Gu Yinwei's sleeves tightly, "Master, there is not a single guard patrolling at night, I'm afraid."

"You wait here, I'll go take a look."

Gu Yinwei walked around the gazebo and found a dry well covered with a stone, Gu Yinwei shouted: "Tiantao, is that you?"

A response came from the bottom of the well, "Master, help me."

Huge stones blocked the dry well, the breath of the almonds was unstable, and the voice of speaking became weaker and weaker.

Gu Yinwei asked Chu Chu to watch the wind for her. She stood with her back to the corner of the wall, concentrated her energy to draw a powerful talisman, and used the power of the rune to push away the boulder.

She leaned over and stretched out her hand towards the almond in the dry well. The bottom of the well was a certain height from the ground, and the almond couldn't reach Gu Yinwei's hand.

Chu Chu ran to Jingyang Palace to borrow a bundle of ropes, tied a stone, and let the ropes down. Tong Tao picked up the ropes and tied them around her waist. Gu Yinwei and Chu Chu pulled them up together, and the ropes were pulled halfway. The Dali Talisman on Wei's body loosened, the two of them lost their center of gravity, the rope slid down, the almond hanging in mid-air screamed in fright, Gu Yinwei and Chu Chu also lost their center of gravity and fell forward.

At the very moment, a white hand stretched out, and Chuchu exclaimed, "Master Zhenfei has come to help us."

With the help of Concubine Zhen and Chu Chu, the four worked together to rescue Panda.

After the catastrophe, the rest of his life trembled when he walked, and looked like he was still in shock.

"Piantao delivered food to Bengong, but the virtuous concubine murdered Wangtao, thinking that this palace is easy to mess with."

Wan Tao was worried that things would get worse, so she tried to persuade her, "Concubine Zhen, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years."

"Bengong is a quick-tempered person. He is used to avenging revenge on the spot. He can't wait ten years."

Gu Yinwei followed closely behind, and the two walked with wind, and it seemed that they were going to fight with the concubine Xiangui.

The virtuous concubine lived in the side hall of Cheng'en Palace, and the head of Cheng'en Palace was Concubine Jin. Concubine Jin received the news early and hurriedly ordered people to turn off the lights, pretending to be asleep.

In fact, she and Aqiu, the maid in the palace, put their ears on the door, eavesdropping on the movement outside.

The salaries of the virtuous concubines in the side hall were lower than those of Concubine Jin, and they could not afford so many eyes and ears. When she received the news, Concubine Zhen had brought someone to kill her.

Concubine Zhen and Concubine Xiangui looked at each other, Concubine Xiangui felt trembling and got up to give up her seat.

Concubine Zhen didn't take her seat, "Your concubine, you've killed someone, yet you're still able to sit still."

"The concubine doesn't understand what the concubine Zhen means."

Concubine Zhen seemed to have expected that she would say something like this, "Your concubine is really forgetful, I will help you recall memories."

Concubine Xian Gui pretended to be calm, but she was flustered inside.

"Little fish, take a piece of red-hot coal."

Xiao Yu turned around and walked out, after a while two maids came in with a basin of charcoal fire.

It's too early to use the charcoal basin in this season, and you can feel a rush of hot air rushing to your face from four or five feet away.

"Your Majesty, do you remember?"

The virtuous concubine's psychological defense collapsed, "What does the concubine Zhen want to ask?"

"Bengong wants to ask you, why is the flat peach being thrown into the dry well with the back foot after delivering food to Bengong?"

"The concubines don't know either."

"Only you know about the dry well next to the pavilion of Cheng'en Palace. How do you explain it?"

The virtuous concubine was stopped by Concubine Zhen's words, and Concubine Zhen continued, "The gazebo is very windy, could it be that the almonds thought it was too hot and went to the gazebo to enjoy the cool air, and they slipped and fell into the dry well?"

"Amygdala, are you hot?"

"Concubine Zhen, this servant is heartbroken."

Concubine Zhen gave Bian Tao a reassuring look, and said to herself: "If I meet such a wolf-hearted person, I will feel chilled."

The noble concubine gritted her teeth and did not speak.

The virtuous concubine glared at the maid behind her. This maid was recently hired by her, and she was not easy to handle. She had clearly instructed that this matter should be done cleanly. Big battle.
