Chapter 119 Harem Scheming
Bi Ning looked at the big red brocade pouch held in the palm of Concubine Rong, on which was embroidered a pair of vivid little dolls, and was even more moved. He took the brocade bag with respectful hands, and took it away carefully like a baby. She got into her arms, then squatted down and saluted, and said with red eyes: "Your Majesty is busy helping the emperor take care of the harem, but she still has my affairs in mind, I really..."

"We are all one family, so why should the third sister-in-law say such things!" Rong Guifei stretched out her hand to help Bi Ning up before she finished speaking, and said with a smile, "It's getting late, third sister-in-law, let's go back!"

"Yes." Bining replied with a choked voice, sniffing his nose lightly, looked up at Concubine Rong Gui again, then clutched the kit in his bosom, turned and walked towards the road closest to the palace gate.

"Your Majesty, that kit..."

"If you give it, give it. Now she needs something more than this palace!" Before the maid who had given the kit to Concubine Rong Guifei had finished speaking, Concubine Rong Guifei spoke, and the empathetic pity flashed in her eyes. , said flatly: "Nowadays, what this palace needs most is not a child, but the position of queen."

"Yes!" The maid answered clearly and did not speak any more.

"The emperor has been to Ninghe Palace for two days in a row, and it looks like he will come to my palace tomorrow. Have you made arrangements for what this palace asked you to prepare?" Concubine Rong asked suddenly.

The palace maid naturally understood what she was talking about, and hurriedly lowered her head to respond: "The maidservant is ready according to the mother's instructions, the empress can rest assured, this time the emperor will definitely understand the good intentions of the empress for him!"

"Very good!" Concubine Rong nodded, with an expectant smile on her face.

"What? Did you meet the concubine's sister?" After returning to Ninghe Palace, Jin Liu saw that the emperor had already left, so he went to see Murong Shengxue and told her about meeting Concubine Rong in the imperial garden. Concubine Ning, who had just woken up, was startled, looked her up and down, and asked nervously, "Are you... all right?"

Jin Liu raised his eyes to look at Murong Shengxue, and said a little puzzled: "The imperial concubine just talked a few words with the courtier, the empress thinks... what can the courtier do?"

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Murong Shengxue's face, she looked back at herself in the vanity mirror, did not speak, but Xiaohong, who was standing behind her and combing her hair, said: "Miss San, our mother is worried about you , The imperial concubine looks kind and friendly on the surface, but in fact she has a lot of tricks behind her back, the empress is afraid that you will not be in the palace for long, and you don't know her details, so you found her way!"

"But I just met the imperial concubine, and I don't think she is the kind of person with deep plans!" Jin Liu blinked and said innocently.

"Our lady is right. When Princess Bi Ning wanted to hit our lady, Concubine Rong helped our lady stop her!" Bixi also hurriedly said.

"What do you know! This is just what they did for you!" Xiaohong said to Tourmaline angrily, then turned to look at Jinliu, "Miss San, you..."

"You are the only friend of this palace. I have always treated you like a younger sister. I also know that you treat me well, so originally I didn't want to tell you these things because I was afraid that you would worry." Xiaohong didn't finish. Concubine Ning interrupted her, stood up and walked to Jin Liu, took her hand and said, "But now that you have entered the palace, I have to tell you the truth for your safety. gone."

I just dozed off and was afraid I fell asleep on the table. I don’t know how long I slept. I woke up and hiccupped. It seemed that there was a lot of gas in my stomach. I don’t know if there is something wrong with my stomach⊙ ⊙b sweat

"Your Majesty, what you mean is..." Jin Liu stared blankly at Murong Shengxue.

Murong Shengxue was not in a hurry to speak, she pulled Jin Liu to sit down, and then said: "Since I entered the palace, Concubine Rong has treated me like a sister, so even if the emperor favors me, other positions Even if the concubine who is taller than me is jealous of me, I can't do anything to me, thinking that my parents died early, and I grew up with my uncle, my aunt despises me, saying that it is not good for me to kill my parents, and it is not good to treat me all the time. Although my uncle sympathized with my aunt, I was afraid of my aunt, so I suffered a lot when I was a child. Because of this, I especially cherish people who are kind to me, so I was really grateful to Concubine Rong at that time , and even really treated her like a sister, until later..."

"Until the empress lost her first child?" Jin Liu continued to ask.

Murong Shengxue showed a painful expression on his face, nodded slightly, and said: "I remember very clearly that I was pregnant when the imperial physician found out that I was pregnant on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month. At that time, the fetus was only more than one month old. The imperial physician said that Ben Gong was cold and would not be able to keep the child, so he had to rest for a few months. After learning about this, the emperor was happy that we finally had a baby, but also worried about Ben Gong's health, so he stayed in bed for several days. Staying in this palace, on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in previous years, the emperor would go to the Taimiao with Concubine Rong to pray for blessings, but that year the emperor stayed in Ninghe Palace in this palace. Without the emperor personally presiding over it, naturally Concubine Rong could not Going to the Taimiao to pray for blessings, maybe it was because of this incident that Concubine Rong began to have resentment towards me. Although she still loves me on the surface, she asked the imperial dining room to deliver nourishing decoction to me every day, and ordered it in front of the emperor. Ben Gong needs to take good care of his body, and reminds the emperor to always be by Ben Gong's side to make Ben Gong feel at ease, but after drinking the decoction she gave, Ben Gong's child is gone. My child is less than two months old!"

Murong Shengxue spoke emotionally, and her voice choked up, which shows how much the loss of her child had hit her, until today, two years later, she was still deeply saddened when she mentioned this matter.

"The matter has come to this point, and it won't help the matter if the empress is sad. Don't hurt your body because of it. The most important thing is." Jin Liu hurriedly comforted her. Although Murong Shengxue entered the palace, the connection between them has not been broken over the years. However, she also often came to the palace to accompany Murong Shengxue. She naturally knew about Murong Shengxue's pregnancy. Because of this incident, the capital also had the quietest New Year that year. What I know is that there are so many things in it.

After crying a few times, Murong Shengxue finally calmed down a lot, wiped the tears off his face with a handkerchief, and then said to Jin Liu: "Your father is the envoy of the Supreme Hospital, and I have a close relationship with you. Secret, you should remember that the emperor had someone thoroughly investigate this matter."

Jin Liu nodded, "I remember that my father was very busy with this matter, but I didn't know that there was something about Concubine Rong in it. After hearing that Madam Rong lost her child, Concubine Rong did more to comfort her. To save the emperor's first child, he also invited Master Ming Fei from Shifei Temple to enter the palace to chant sutras for the unborn little prince."

"Hehe...these are just for the emperor to see!" Murong Shengxue smiled coldly and said, "It's a pity that there was no evidence that she drugged me at the time, but the emperor is not so It's so deceiving, the emperor is very clear about who is the happiest when the child of this palace is gone, maybe it is because of this that the emperor is not willing to let her be the empress!"

"What did the emperor tell the empress?" Jin Liu asked in surprise.

Murong Shengxue was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I guessed it myself."

Jin Liu nodded, looked at Murong Shengxue, and said doubtfully: "Then why are you still with Concubine Rong..."

"Because I don't want to embarrass the emperor! Before entering the palace, I may not really want to marry the emperor, but since I entered the palace, the emperor has always loved me. In the entire palace, only the emperor is Sincerely, I have entrusted my entire life to the emperor, so for the sake of the emperor, I will endure anything, including the revenge of murdering my son! I can even give up the position of empress to Concubine Rong!" Murong Shengxue said He sighed for a long time, looked at Jin Liu with a lost smile, and said: "You may think that this palace is very stupid, since you know that when you get old, the emperor may not want to treat this palace like this now, and still want to treat him like this." I endured all the pain for him, but I don't regret it at all, because I love the emperor, I love the emperor with all my heart, even if he despises my age when the time comes, and abandons me, I don't care about it. The palace has no complaints or regrets, I just ask the heavens to take pity on me and give me a child with the emperor's blood, that's enough!"

After Murong Shengxue finished speaking, it still rang in Jin Liu's ears. Although she felt that Murong Shengxue's actions were a bit silly, she had never been in a relationship, so what right did she have to comment on other people's love?Perhaps Murong Shengxue's unrelenting love for the emperor is true love!
A hint of envy suddenly arose in Jin Liu's heart. Although she did not approve of such a self-sacrificing love, as a woman whose psychological age was already mature, she still looked forward to love and a relationship where she could work together and face a happy future together. Love, but where is the person who wants to go to the end of life with her?

"Liu'er." Seeing Jin Liu bowed her head and said nothing, Murong Shengxue held Jin Liu's hand tightly, made her face her, and said, "I didn't mean to say these things to you today. Slandering Concubine Rong, in fact, apart from killing Bengong’s child, she did manage the harem for the emperor in order. Bengong told you this, just to let you know what to do, and it’s good when you face her in the future Be careful."

"Your Majesty's good intentions, my servant naturally understands." Jin Liu hurriedly said.

"Also." Murong Shengxue looked into Jin Liu's eyes, and said again: "You must have heard that there are rumors outside that I want you to enter the palace because I want your Jin family to become my family outside the palace. power……"

Jin Liu hadn't waited for Murong Shengxue to finish speaking, so he laughed and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I am not an ignorant person, and I remember what your Majesty said to my daughter before, so I don't think so. I will misunderstand my mother because of those rumors."

Murong Shengxue smiled relaxedly when he heard the words, and tightly held Jin Liu's hand and said: "I am relieved to hear you say that, now besides the emperor and brother-in-law, I am the only one beside you. Gong is really afraid that you will misunderstand me because of those."

"Yes, Miss San, you don't know. Our empress was very angry when she heard about this incident. The empress sincerely treats Miss San as a younger sister, but she was misunderstood by outsiders. She wanted to make it clear to you, but she was afraid that you would misunderstand her. Now that I've said this, I'm afraid the empress won't think about clarifying this matter with you!" Xiao Hong said to Jin Liu with a smile, then turned to look at Murong Shengxue and said with a smile: "The empress can finally sleep today. Get a good night's sleep, and don't have to worry about Third Miss misunderstanding you anymore!"

"You can say it!" Murong Shengxue glared at Xiaohong, said with a smile, and still did not let go of Jin Liu's hand.

Crying and laughing with Murong Shengxue, Jin Liu stayed with her until it was dark after dinner and then went back to the side courtyard of Ninghe Palace, as soon as Jin Liu entered the room, she went to the chaise longue, sighing inexplicably He said: "The side courtyard of Ninghe Palace, the west side courtyard of Jin Mansion, the side courtyard of the main courtyard, I seem to have been living in the side courtyard all the time!"
