The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 1148 Competing for the rear position (5)
"How can I not be angry? Even the jade concubine believed that the phoenix was a good omen, so why couldn't she be fooled!" Concubine Ning angrily swept the teacup on the table to the ground, and said bitterly: "Since she is sincere If I want to fight against Bengong, if I don't let her try it out, she won't know what I'm doing! Undoubtedly, our phoenix was shot by Jinxiu, right? Good, very good."

Concubine Ning sneered a few times, gritted her teeth and said, "If that's the case, if she killed my bird, I will kill her people!"

Looking at Concubine Ning's blood-red eyes, Xueyan was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, are you planning to do that?"

Concubine Ning asked sharply: "Why don't you go out and tell me to wait?"

"Yes, servant girl is going now." Xueyan saluted hurriedly and ran out quickly.

As soon as this matter spread, those idlers in the palace had a new topic. They talked about how ugly they were, and they slandered Concubine Ning to the point of slander. They hid in their own palace every day and sulked, but they didn't dare to come out to see people.Qingchen turned a deaf ear to those words, and laughed them off, but did not ask anyone to stop them, allowing Concubine Ning to experience the feeling of being criticized with harsh words.

Although all the big and small matters in the palace were left to Concubine Jing to take care of, if there were really some things she couldn't control, she would still come to discuss with Qingchen.

That day, she was making small clothes for the child in her womb in the pavilion. When she saw Concubine Jing coming slowly from the Jiuqu Bridge with her maid, she said with a smile, "I thought I would take care of the harem for you, and you would be free." Some, but how do you look at it, you seem to be busier than before? You are making clothes and drawing brochures, and you don’t want to be idle for a moment. If the emperor finds out, it’s time to blame you.”

Qingchen put down the needlework in his hand, poured a cup of tea for her, and after a long while of needlework, he was indeed a little tired, so he said: "It's really time for my sister to come, and I was just looking for someone to talk to, now I am pregnant, and the concubines are afraid that something will happen to them, and no one will come to sit with me, I am really lonely by myself."

"It's fine if you don't come, but there's nothing good to say if you come. Rather than making you angry, it's better to raise your baby quietly." Concubine Jing took a sip of tea and continued, "I'm here this time because I have serious matters to share with you." You said. Just now, Concubine Yu came to me and said that she had been hearing women crying in the middle of the night for the past few days, and the little eunuch on duty at night in her palace also saw a female ghost standing in the yard, but in the blink of an eye It's gone, the little eunuch peed his pants in fright."

"Female ghost?" Qingchen was a little unbelievable, "I don't know if others believe it or not, but I don't believe it. Maybe someone is playing tricks?"

Jingpin sneered and said: "It's because she has done too many bad things. How many unjust dead ghosts are there in this palace? There are more people than the living people. Why don't you go to someone else, but to her?"

Qingchen thought for a while and said: "If it is said that a female ghost is taking her life, it is nothing more than Zizhu who was killed with a stick in her palace, right?"

Concubine Jing shook her head lightly, moved closer to her and said in a low voice, "It doesn't seem like that, the girl in Jingshu said that she was on duty last night and saw a figure on the window. She looked out through the window and saw I touched a corner of the clothes, it seems that... it belonged to Concubine Li."

"Concubine Li? How could it be her?" Qingchen really couldn't understand why the person pretending to be a ghost pretended to be someone who had been dead for so long to scare Ye Hanyu. Few people know.

Concubine Jing also seemed to be a little puzzled and said: "I am also wondering why it is not Zizhu but Concubine Li, but the girl in Jingshu insisted that what she saw was the brocade and silver dress that Concubine Li often wore before. Si Luoshang, that dress is unique, it was given to her by the emperor when she was the most favored, if you say that, it might be Concubine Li."

Qingchen thought for a while, then asked: "Then sister came to me, did she want to send more people to patrol around Yubi's Yilanxuan, and catch ghosts when necessary?"

In fact, this matter should be reported to the emperor, but Qingchen knew that Concubine Jing was the person she didn't want to see the most in the palace, and she avoided it if she could. She would rather come to her than go to the imperial study, so she said : "Alright, after dinner, I'll mention this matter to the emperor again."

Since she said that, Concubine Jing didn't need to explain any more, and asked: "There is one more thing, I don't know if you have heard of it. The emperor ordered a marriage for the third son of the Ning family, but it is less than 20 days. The Second Miss of the Su family died unexpectedly."

"What did sister say?" Qingchen couldn't believe his ears, his eyes widened in surprise and asked: "Such news can't be spread indiscriminately. Where did sister hear it from? Is it reliable?"

Concubine Jing knew that she had been annoyed by this matter for the past few days and that she had no good plan to stop her. She would be surprised when she first heard it, "Why is it not true? When I came here, I saw Concubine Ning go to the imperial study from a distance, probably It is because of this that I went to the emperor.

Now that the Ning family has been promised, the Su family means that they want the Ning family to send the funeral, at least they should enter the Ning family's ancestral hall, but the Ning family thinks that they have died before they have passed the door. The emperor bestowed the marriage, and he had to be buried as his wife, so he was not very happy about it. Mr. Su was very annoyed because of this. He was in the imperial study with the third son of the Ning family to seek the emperor's comment. Concubine Ning probably tried to persuade the fight. "

"How did this happen?" Qingchen was stunned, and it took him a while to remember to ask: "Then how did the second Miss of the Su family die? If the Ning family and the Su family were married to fight for the successor of Concubine Ning, then They shouldn't care about these things at this time. What's more, what my sister said is true. Concubine Ning painstakingly begged the emperor to get this marriage over and over again. Ancestral hall, there is nothing wrong with that."

"There is nothing wrong with it. Besides, if the Ning family really wants to take advantage of the power of the Su family, they really shouldn't care about whether it is bad luck or not. But the key point is that the third son of the Ning family probably couldn't swallow that breath."

Seeing that the expression on Qingchen's face became more and more surprised, before she could ask, Concubine Jing went on to say: "I heard that the second young lady of the Su family went to meet her lover in private yesterday under the pretext of going out of the city to offer incense. ...It seemed that he lost his innocence on the spur of the moment, but by chance, he was bumped into by the third son of the Ning family and blocked in the room. The third son of the Ning family also had a fiery temper, so he killed the man on the spot. After he left , the Second Miss of the Su family felt shameless, so she hanged herself."

"How is this possible..." Although I haven't seen it personally, Qingchen still feels that there are many unreasonable things in this matter, "Since the second miss of the Su family is going out of the city to meet her lover privately, she will definitely avoid people's eyes and ears. How could the third son of the Ning family appear there by such a coincidence? He also witnessed all this with his own eyes. He was also a leader of soldiers, and he least believed in ghosts and gods. How could he go to the temple for no reason? Are there a lot of doubts and things that don’t make sense?”
