The little palace maid is charming and charming, and she is a disaster along the way

Chapter 26: Li Changzai, what do people say?

On a rainy night, there were bursts of thunder.

The lights in the distance suddenly lit up, like a spark that spread across the prairie, quickly spreading towards the Fanghua Palace.

However, Shen Qingtang, who was immersed in a dream at this time, was not sleeping well. It was not until she heard hurried footsteps in her ears that she seemed to be disturbed and woke up in the brightly lit bedroom.

She looked at the curtains above the bed in confusion, and it took her a while to distinguish between reality and illusion.

The bed curtain was lifted from the outside. Shen Qingtang pressed his aching forehead and looked at Amber and the other two calmly.

"You look so flustered, has something happened?"

Shi Liu breathed rapidly and lowered her voice to say, "My lady, Concubine Zhang had her period last night. The Queen asks you to go to Linfengju now."

"Mrs. Zhang is bleeding?" Shen Qingtang's forehead jumped. Seeing that they looked uneasy, he could not help but comfort them: "Don't worry, if you haven't done anything wrong, you are not afraid of your own shadow."

Shen Qingtang tried to comfort them verbally, but the villain in her heart was feeling so wronged.

She knew that pregnant women should not be touched.

No matter how cautious you are, what is coming will still come.

It's numb, destroy it!

Shen Qingtang cleared his throat and scanned the three people, finally stopping on Amber and An Lan.

"Pack up and come with me to Linfeng Residence." Seeing Shi Liu looking at him with disappointment, Shen Qingtang gave her a trusting look, "Among the three of you, Shi Liu, you are the most alert. In case something unexpected happens, I will leave the care of Fanghua Palace to you and Fu'an."

Amber knows medicine, and Anlan is steady.

Shi Liu is smart and Fu An is tactful, so Shen Qingtang couldn't be more relieved to leave the two of them to guard Fanghua Palace.

Facing her trusting gaze, Shi Liu, who was originally upset that Shen Qingtang didn't value her, was immediately moved and her eyes were red.

"Don't worry, my lady. Fu'an and I will definitely take good care of our Fanghua Palace." Shi Liu looked determined.

This is not only the young lady's youth palace, but also their youth palace.

Good slaves do not serve two masters. Even if something really happened, they would guard the Fanghua Palace that belongs to their master and would never give anyone a chance to fish in troubled waters!
Shen Qingtang looked at Shi Liu deeply, then took Amber and An Lan and slowly walked towards the darkness that was ready to devour anyone.

Shi Liu watched their backs as they left. In the dark night with heavy thunder and rain, she seemed to be able to faintly hear the voice of her young lady, which soothed her anxious heart through the heavy rain.

"...Don't just focus on me. If I catch a cold, you will be in trouble..."

……

Guanju Palace is quite far away from Chunxi Palace.

As soon as she stepped into the gate of Chunxi Palace, Shen Qingtang felt a heavy aura rushing towards her with bared fangs and claws.

At a glance, the palace maids and eunuchs of Chunxi Palace all lowered their heads nervously, and dared not make any sound as they walked hurriedly past.

Linfengju, not far away, was like a faint candlelight that was about to go out, swaying and struggling in the rain.

Inside the Linfeng Residence, Queen Ye was sitting on a soft couch in the outer room. She held a silk handkerchief lightly under her nose and looked out at the rainy night with a frown.

"Send someone to check why Lady Shu hasn't arrived yet."

As soon as Queen Ye finished speaking, Aunt Ginkgo, who was serving her, immediately called out the name of a young palace maid. As soon as the young palace maid left, Liu Zhaoyuan's voice rang out.

"Noble Lady Shu hasn't arrived yet. Could it be that she is feeling guilty?" Liu Zhaoyuan flicked the silk on her wrist and glanced at the temporary delivery room filled with blood. Her face was grim and she said, "If I had known that Noble Lady Zhang would have bleeding when she came back after going to Fanghua Palace, I would have stopped her no matter what."

It’s a pity that her plan to kill the mother and keep the child was aborted!

Thinking of this, Liu Zhaoyuan clenched her fists in annoyance. "I only regret that I don't have the ability to predict the future, and let Concubine Zhang suffer this disaster."

"It was just a trip to Fanghua Palace. How can Empress Zhaoyuan be sure that it was done by Concubine Shu?"

In Linfengju, not only the Queen and Liu Zhaoyuan, but also Li Changzai, who lived in a remote corner, hurried to Linfengju in the pouring rain after learning that Concubine Zhang had seen blood.

After Li Changzai refuted Liu Zhaoyuan, without waiting for her to look at him, he looked at Queen Ye with a pleading look on his face.

"Your Majesty, if Concubine Zhang's bleeding is really related to Qingtang, I beg you, please forgive her this time because she has just entered the palace."

After Li Chang finished speaking, everyone in Linfengju looked at her in surprise.

Li Changzai, is that what people say?
Now, even Liu Zhaoyuan, who was contradicted by her, calmed down her unhappiness and secretly looked forward to Shen Qingtang's arrival.

"It's hard for Li Chang to still care about Concubine Shu after you were treated lightly by her. It's really admirable!"

However, the highly-watched Li Changzai remained calm and pleaded for Shen Qingtang.

"I have nothing to ask for, I just hope that the Queen will be lenient with her and give Sister Qingtang a chance to reform herself—"

"Oh, is it so!"

Before Li Changzai could finish his words, he was interrupted coldly.

"Li Changzai is a kind-hearted person, but I don't know what I did wrong, so why did Li Changzai insist that I was the one who did it?"

Outside Linfengju, amidst thunder and lightning, a beautiful woman wearing an apricot-white gauze skirt with a plain satin ribbon around her waist, with hair like thick clouds and a beauty that could not be concealed even without makeup, appeared in everyone's sight.

It’s… Lady Shu!!
Even though they were all women, all the concubines looked at her in a daze.

With the arrival of Concubine Shu, even the bloody Linfeng Residence seemed to be purified, and even the air became fresher when you breathed.

All of a sudden, all the concubines looked at him dangerously.

This woman must not be allowed to stay!
When Shen Qingtang saw Queen Ye sitting on the couch, he knelt down respectfully and saluted.

"May the Queen be well and healthy. I am late, and I hope you will forgive me."

Empress Ye looked at Shen Qingtang with scrutiny, "Lady Shu, do you know why I asked you to come here?"

Being questioned, Shen Qingtang looked up in surprise.

Her clear eyes were filled with confusion: "Isn't it because I was unable to visit Concubine Zhang in time like the other ladies?"

Is this also wrong?

When asked back, Queen Ye couldn't help but feel choked up in her heart, and even her eyes turned colder when she looked at Shen Qingtang.

"Noble Lady Zhang suddenly had spotting at night. I heard that she came to your Fanghua Palace this afternoon. Does this have anything to do with you?"

Without waiting for Shen Qingtang to say anything, Ye Changzai, who had been staring at her since she came in, immediately sobbed with a look of disappointment on her face.

"My fellow concubine, I know you are resentful of Concubine Zhang because she ignored you when you became a palace maid, but the child is innocent after all. How can you..."

While Li Changzai was silently shedding tears, Liu Zhaoyuan beside him was also unwilling to be lonely.

"Before I went to your Fanghua Palace, Concubine Zhang's pregnancy was fine. Why did she have a miscarriage after seeing you?!"

Facing the malicious slander from others, Shen Qingtang looked up at Queen Ye, her eyes firm and fearless.

"Your Majesty, please understand clearly. If this is not an accident, then someone must have deliberately harmed her and is trying to shift the blame to someone else!!"
