The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 245 Yu commits suicide
This day is the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, the day when the emperor puts down his pen. From this day on, he no longer has to attend the morning court.

The ministers were busy at home preparing for the New Year and did not go to court until the 20th day of the first lunar month.

Xiao Linzi went to see his master Zhou Anhai early in the morning with a bag of snacks.

Zhou Anhai squinted at Xiao Linzi and said.

"What's the matter, little bastard?"

Xiao Linzi showed a helpless expression, took out the bag of snacks from his arms, and handed it to Zhou Anhai with both hands.

"Master, could you please stop being so alert?

Boy, since I'm fine, can't I come to honor you?
Look, this is the snack from our Yikun Palace.

Yesterday, Concubine Hua gave it to me, so I kept it for myself.
Use it to honor you, my old man.

You know, the snacks in our Yikun Palace are among the most delicious in the palace.

Even the pastry chef in the imperial kitchen can’t compare to him!

Your Majesty doesn’t reward people easily! "

Zhou Anhai took the bag of snacks, sneered and said.

"Don't try to fool me, kid. My family has watched you grow up since you were seven years old.

As soon as you stick out your butt, we will know what kind of donkey shit you are doing. Why don’t you tell us the truth?
You never come to my house for no reason. Tell me, what do you want us to do this time?"

Xiao Linzi said with a grin.

"As expected of you, Master. You are so smart. I came here to ask you a favor."

Zhou Anhai stared at Xiao Linzi.

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, kid. Do you think you can interfere in the affairs of the Queen?"

Xiao Linzi's pair of round puppy-like eyes were also wide open.

"Master! Please, just this once.

I know that Taohong in Jingren Palace is your companion.
The Jingren Palace is now surrounded like an iron barrel.

I have thought of many ways, but there is really no other way.

Please."

Zhou Anhai sighed and whispered.

"Forget it, my family shouldn't let you know so many things.

I'll only tell you what I know.
Other things may be life-threatening.

My leg is something I knew that I shouldn't have known back then.

Little bastard, if you don't want to end up like your master,
Just be content with your job and do your job well."

Xiao Linzi kowtowed heavily and went back.

The Jingren Palace and the Yiku Palace have always been the most difficult places in the palace to place people. After Ulanara gave birth to a stillborn baby, she dismissed several servants on the pretext that the servants had not served her well.

Among them was the spy planted by Shilan two years ago. Xiao Linzi racked his brains to come up with this idea.

Taohong was an inconspicuous maid in Jingren Palace, but the more inconspicuous she was, the less likely people would be on guard against her.

On the way back to Yiku Palace, Xiao Linzi turned to the imperial kitchen and took some tea, fruits and snacks, saying that Concubine Hua would have them for lunch.

Xiao Linzi was walking back with his lunch box when he unexpectedly ran into Jiang Fuhai.

"Hello, Eunuch Jiang, what are you doing?"

Xiao Linzi originally didn't want to pay attention to Jiang Fuhai, but when they ran into each other, he thought that if he didn't explain, there would probably be another storm, so he spoke and greeted him.

Jiang Fuhai was a servant serving the Queen, so he was always arrogant and looked down on other servants except Su Peisheng, not to mention that Xiao Linzi was young.

Even though Xiao Linzi was already the chief eunuch of Yikun Palace, Jiang Fuhai still snorted coldly and ignored him.

Xiao Linzi didn't care either. He stepped aside and let Jiang Fuhai pass first.

After Jiang Fuhai left, Xiao Linzi spat at Jiang Fuhai's back.

"What the hell? We are all slaves, so who is nobler than who?"

Xiao Linzi staggered back to the Yiku Palace. Standing at the corner of the long street, Concubine Li said to the palace maid who followed her.

"See? Although we are both servants, the servants of Her Majesty the Queen are of a higher rank than those of Her Majesty Hua Fei."

Li Guiren's maid bowed her head and replied, "Yes, I understand. One day when the young lady becomes a rich lady, I will also be able to be proud and proud."

Concubine Li laughed happily.

"You are smart. But I despise these eunuchs.

They say eunuchs are rootless, so they just serve as eunuchs.

They are still fighting against each other, not knowing that they are just a joke in the eyes of their masters."

The palace maid said.

"Is this why the young master doesn't want eunuchs around him?"

Concubine Li tightened her handkerchief and said.

"Do you think I don't want it? It's just that I can't have it now.

When I entered the palace, I knew that I had to stand on Concubine Hua's side.

But our emperor spends his days reviewing memorials and meeting with ministers.

Occasionally, he would go into the harem to visit a few favored concubines.

Concubine Hua never mentioned me in front of the Emperor.
It was the Empress who asked the Emperor to visit me twice.

So, I don’t know who to listen to.”

The maid looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she whispered.

"Why don't you have the best of both worlds, young master?"

Concubine Li looked at the palace maid and said.

"What do you mean? Put me between the Queen and Concubine Hua?
This is not a bad idea, but what should we do with the Empress Dowager?"

The palace maid smiled and replied.

"In this harem, the only real master is the Queen.

But Concubine Hua is currently favored and has some power in her hands.

It would be better for you to stand in the middle and look at which side you can have a say on, and then go that side.

As for the Empress Dowager, you just have to be perfunctory with her.

Besides, the most important thing is that you should think more about it.
How to gain the emperor's favor. "

Nian Shilan murmured as she watched the snow slowly falling outside the window.

"Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. When winter passes and spring comes, it will be another year of peace and prosperity.

My brother said that the scenery in Shu is very beautiful, but the low grain prices this year have hurt farmers.

I wonder if my brother can find a way to make the people under his rule live a good life."

In her previous life, Nian Shilan would never care about this. At that time, apart from the matter of competing for favor, her mind was focused on eating, drinking and having fun.

But in this life, she had an idea in her mind that was gradually taking shape.

For that idea to be realized, it must have the support of the people.

Songzhi walked in with the Fourth Prince in her arms, smiling.

"Master, don't worry about whether it hurts the farmers or not. Look at the Fourth Prince. His pouting mouth is so adorable."

Nian Shilan came to her senses, turned around and walked towards Songzhi, taking Hongli from her arms.

Hongli, who is already three months old, is no longer red, ugly and wrinkled as he was when he was just born. Now the baby Hongli has a snow-white skin and round eyes, and his little mouth is moving as if he is sucking milk, which is extremely adorable.

Nian Shilan hugged Hongli, touched his little face with her fingers and smiled.

"My dear, you don't have to pout because I'm here to protect you.

Mother will give you all the good things.

Even if your mother can't give it to you, your uncle can give it to you.

You just need to grow up obediently."

Nian Shilan was immersed in maternal love when Xiao Linzi ran in hurriedly.

"My Lord, Yu committed suicide in the cold palace.

The eunuch who was guarding him came to report that he had died by hitting a pillar, a tragic death.
