Chapter 186

"You mean that Xihua Palace gave a gift to Annan County Palace in the name of the Third Prince." Concubine De tapped the table with her jade finger and repeated lightly.

After hearing the words, the maid at the bottom answered the situation again respectfully, Concubine De couldn't help but chuckled lightly, making people retreat.

Then he snorted and said, "I didn't expect that the Empress has even let the Xihua Palace do the work for her. I haven't been to the Empress for a long time. The weather is so good today. Let's go." Empress, let's go to the liveliness." She couldn't believe that the empress really didn't have any grudges against the one from Xihua Palace.

Concubine De was talking and asked people to go down to prepare, and she had to go into the inner room to change clothes before going.

However, before Concubine De got up, the little eunuch rushed in and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhou committed suicide."

Concubine De was still a little confused when she heard the words, but her footsteps stopped abruptly, Concubine Zhou committed suicide!After all, although Concubine Zhou has been demoted to Concubine Zhou, in the hearts of old people like Concubine De who have been with the emperor for a long time, it seems that they have not slowed down for a while, and they still feel a little dissatisfied with Concubine Zhou. After the reaction, he couldn't help but screamed: "What did you say?" Despite the sharp voice, the hand holding the fan actually trembled slightly.

The little eunuch didn't want his master to lose his composure because of Concubine Zhou's suicide, but he didn't dare to comment. After glancing at his master nervously, he replied again loudly: "If you return to the master, Concubine Zhou committed suicide, the empress probably has rushed over now .”

In fact, the moment the little eunuch spoke, Concubine De had already reacted. The reason Concubine De lost her composure was not because of how much sisterhood she had with Concubine Zhou, but because she was really surprised by the suicide, she closed her eyes as if sighing, After opening her eyes, Concubine De immediately returned to normal, calmly went back to the house to change her clothes, and told the people in her palace to keep her mouth shut.

And at this moment, Xihua Palace also received the news, Nan Muxuan was also in a daze for a moment, and then smiled wryly, thinking of the letter from her father outside the palace yesterday, thinking of the Zhou family and Chaotang, now she can only sigh I can't think about it, this time the Zhou family's rebellion has nothing to do with the imperial concubine, and the emperor knows it, so he just lowered her rank. I really don't know why she insisted on ending it on her own, and she took her own life. Don't take it seriously, maybe some people are used to being superior, so they can't come down a little bit, that's why they don't cherish life so much.

No matter how others feel, the once invincible Concubine Zhou has already ended her life in her own way, and now the impoverished Concubine Zhou has no knowledge of the world anymore.

Concubine Zhou's death was nothing new, she wore a luxurious imperial concubine gown and committed suicide by taking poison. She dressed herself very luxuriously until her death. Nan Muxuan only took a glance from a distance before turning her head and closing her eyes. After she died, she still did not forget the imperial concubine's demeanor at the end. What is important? Since she came to Dayuan, she had seen too many deaths, and even nearly died herself, but she still couldn't remain indifferent to death.It is also incomprehensible for Concubine Zhou to commit suicide like this.

When Chu Jin learned that Concubine Zhou committed suicide, she seemed to be in a daze for a while before ordering her to be buried as a concubine. Everything was left to the empress and the Ministry of Rites, but he himself did not attend the whole process.

With the death of Concubine Zhou and some people who were cleaned up before, the layout of the harem began to become simpler. Even the women in the harem became calmer. Those who had children all put their minds on their children. The children also wrote poems and paintings, and stayed in their own palaces honestly and tried not to cause trouble.

Although it was involved by the previous court this time, the death of too many people in the harem made most people involuntarily quiet down, temporarily put away all kinds of thoughts, at least, on the bright side, it was Such.

As the lord of the harem, the queen is still busy doing what she should do as a concubine, but Nan Muxuan, who is a favorite concubine, has been unremarkable recently. It is now a good summer season, and the harem is extraordinarily quiet and beautiful. In Mu Xuan's rare good mood, she took a walk sooner or later, and occasionally went for a jog or something, and sometimes Nan Mu Xuan dragged the Third Prince along when he was not busy.

As for Chu Jin, perhaps because of the busy affairs of the previous court, or because the death of Concubine Zhou had somewhat affected him, he seldom went to the harem during this period of time. Although he occasionally went to Xihua Palace, he seldom stayed overnight. This is also one of the reasons why Nan Muxuan has been so leisurely and unrestrained recently. As for not worrying about falling out of favor, this Nan Muxuan simply doesn't care at all, not to mention Chu Jin's current state of not wanting to go to any palace. It was the Xishan incident that gave her a lot of confidence. No matter what kind of relationship they have, for Chu Jin, what kind of position does she occupy in his heart as a concubine? People can still protect her even when she is in danger, and even block the sword for her, as long as Nan Muxuan thinks about it, she will even feel a little bit guilty for the calculations and insincerity she has been using against him all the time.

Moreover, Nan Muxuan obviously felt that after the trip to Xishan, the atmosphere between Chu Jin and her had obviously changed. The busy time together is better, but the feeling is different. How to put it, at least Nan Muxuan can feel that many times her concern for Chu Jin is not just because she wants to plot something.
