Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 229 Confrontation
The queen's response made the queen mother very dissatisfied. She knew that it would be very difficult to seize power from the queen.

"Before evening, if you can't find Nanny Qin..." In the middle of speaking, the Empress Dowager's gaze was fixed on the Empress's face, with a certain determination in her expression.

At this juncture, if the imperial power can be taken away, many things will be much easier.

"Please don't worry, Empress Dowager, I will try my best to send someone to look for it, and if I can't find it, I will say that I can't find it."

There was still a smile on the queen's face, and her eyes collided with those of the queen mother. On her face, there was a determination not to give up an inch.

After being married to the emperor for many years, this is the first confrontation between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

In the past, although the queen mother looked down on the queen and even made things difficult for her many times, she would be careful not to go too far. After all, the other party was the queen. If it was too much, both faces were not good-looking.

In addition, when the queen faced her, she was always humble and evasive. It was not easy for her to find out some faults.

But this time is different, now is a critical period for the Chu family, the queen mother is facing Xuanyuanqi, and naturally she no longer saves face for the emperor's queen.

And the queen, because of her own responsibility and the aggressiveness of the queen mother, finally showed the aura that belonged to her queen.

Squinting her eyes slightly, the Empress Dowager stared at the Empress, and saw that she was always looking directly at her without giving in, so she couldn't help but sneer a few times.

"Okay, now that Aijia is sick, all of you are bullying Aijia."

"The queen mother's words are serious. The affairs of the harem should be taken care of by the queen. I believe the queen mother is very clear about this. After all, you have also been a queen before."

"The empress is still here, and the phoenix seal is in my hands. How can there be any reason for the empress dowager to help you take power? Now that you have become the empress dowager, you should enjoy the blessings. Let the concubine, the empress, deal with matters in the harem."

At this time, there is absolutely no way to back down. The empress knows very well that even though she is facing the empress dowager, she still lacks a bit of courage in her heart.

But thinking of the ancestors of the Gu family, the emperor's entrustment, the queen straightened her back to face all kinds of unreasonable demands of the queen mother.

The Queen's words made it impossible for the Queen Mother to refute. She had indeed walked all the way from the Queen's position.

It can even be said that she has experienced such things as seizing power.

In the past, when she was still the empress, the empress dowager at that time also wanted to seize power. At that time, she refused to give up an inch and used many means to dispel the idea of ​​the empress dowager.

Now, things like that have changed, and it was she who wanted to seize power from the queen.

"The queen mother is weak now, so the concubine will not disturb her. When she finds Nanny Qin, she will be sent back properly. Don't worry too much about the queen mother. Taking good care of her body is the key."

Having said all that needs to be said, the queen saluted the queen mother and was about to leave.

The queen mother opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but found that the words were blocked in her throat. She didn't know what to say. Could it be that the queen was forced to stay?What's the use?

Thinking in this way, the queen mother closed her mouth and watched the queen leave the main hall of Shoukang Palace.

After leaving the Shoukang Palace, the queen looked at Zhishu beside her, and gave her some instructions, Zhishu responded, and sent someone to 'guard' the Shoukang Palace.

It is said to be a guard, but it is almost the same as a prison. She knows in her heart that even if she does not send someone to 'guard', the current Queen Mother will not be able to cause any trouble.

Qin Nanny was not there, and her legs and feet were not flexible, so she couldn't get out of Shoukang Palace at all.

Now, the servants in Shoukang Palace have been cleaned up by her in sevens and eights. Even if the Queen Mother wants to find someone to pass on her news, she can't find it at all.

Sitting on the phoenix chariot, the queen returned to Fengyang Palace.

…………

"What did you say? Mother Qin is gone?" In Roufu Palace, Concubine Chu looked at Zizhu with a look of surprise.

Concubine Chu Gui knew very well who Qin Nanny was. She knew very well that she was the most useful confidant around the Empress Dowager.

But now, Nanny Qin is gone... Does this indicate that something is going to happen?

Thinking like this, Concubine Chu Gui couldn't sit still, she stood up and paced back and forth in the hall.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much, maybe the matter is not as serious as you think." Seeing Concubine Chu like this, Zi Zhu and Zi Xiao persuaded together, although the two of them also had no bottom at this time.

"No, there must be something wrong with it. I ordered people to prepare a sedan chair. I am going to Shoukang Palace."

Concubine Chu Guifei felt that at this time, she could no longer care about exposing herself. She had to go to Shoukang Palace and discuss it with the Queen Mother.

People like them in the palace have no way of knowing about the matter of the paddock. Even though Xuanyuanqi has the support of the Chu family behind him, who knows that behind the emperor, there is no power of his own?

After receiving the order, Zi Zhu responded and started to prepare. Concubine Chu Gui was still restless, pacing in the hall.

Not long after, Zi Zhu returned to the palace with a very ugly expression on her face. Concubine Chu Gui looked at her, feeling more and more uneasy in her heart.

"What's the matter?" Asking Zizhu, Concubine Chu Guifei's heart rose in an instant.

"Your Majesty... The Empress Dowager ordered someone to take care of the Roufu Palace."

Looking at Concubine Chu Gui, Zi Zhu spoke tremblingly, she was not sure what it meant.

"What did you say?" Concubine Chu Gui was startled, and strode towards the outside of the hall, as if she couldn't believe it unless she saw it with her own eyes.

Walking out of the main hall, Concubine Chu walked towards the gate of the palace with big strides. As soon as she reached the gate of the palace, she saw the guards at the gate.

After a few steps to the gate of Roufu Palace, Concubine Chu Guifei walked towards the outside of the palace. The guards stretched out their hands and stopped Concubine Chu Guifei.

"Presumptuous, you know that I am a noble concubine, how many lives do you have, and you dare to block my way!"

Speaking angrily, Concubine Chu looked at the guard at the door, her face flushed red.

"I beg your concubine to forgive me. I am obedient to the empress's orders. The empress has ordered that my concubine is pregnant. For the sake of the emperor's heir, please rest well in Roufu Palace."

The guard at the door didn't change his face, and said back to Concubine Chu, after hearing what he said, Concubine Chu's heart sank completely.

"I want to see the queen. As the concubine personally appointed by the emperor, she can't just restrain my feet like this!"

Looking at the guards at the door unwillingly, Concubine Chu spoke angrily. As for her, if the guard at the door didn't speak anymore, just by looking at him, you could tell that the rest of the guards obeyed him. If he didn't speak, the rest would naturally follow suit. Will not speak.

"I order you in the name of the noble concubine to invite the queen. I am pregnant with dragon descendants. If something goes wrong, can you afford it?"

Seeing that the guard didn't respond to her, Concubine Chu bit her lip and pushed her 'belly' forward, her words were threatening...
