The Legend of Zhen Huan: Entering the Palace to Become the Queen Mother

Chapter 280: Concubine Hua is proud, the Queen is calculating

"The Emperor's excitement has worn off, and her dish has become completely cold."

Hua Fei picked up the teacup and took a sip, then spoke in a mocking tone.

"Now that the noble lady Wan has lost the emperor's protection, she is like a fish on a chopping board, waiting for the queen to slaughter her. As for when the queen wants to remove this dish, it depends on her mind."

Concubine Cao smiled and agreed.

"Your Majesty, this noble lady Wan's father was demoted by the Emperor."

Jianqiu looked at the queen who was practicing calligraphy and spoke.

"Really? When?"

The Queen asked slowly.

"Reporting to the queen, during the morning court today, Zhao Zhiyuan wrote a letter to denounce Wan Guiren's father Zhen Yuandao for dereliction of duty, so the emperor demoted him."

Jianqiu spoke up and told Xiao Xiazi the information she had heard from him.

"No wonder the noble lady Wan was rejected when she asked to see the emperor today."

"If I remember correctly, this Zhao Zhiyuan seems to be Nian Gengyao's man?"

The queen raised her eyes and looked at Jianqiu and asked.

"Reporting to the Queen, Nian Gengyao did plead for Zhao Zhiyuan. It is said that he made a mistake before, so he deliberately asked the Emperor to give him a similar position again."

Jianqiu thought for a moment and then spoke.

"As expected, that's what I was saying. Why was Lady Wan's father suddenly demoted? There must be something wrong here."

The queen was not too surprised to hear this, after all, she had already guessed it in her heart.

You should know that the person who hates Concubine Wan the most in the palace now is Concubine Hua.

If Concubine Wan's father was demoted, Concubine Wan would inevitably be implicated, and Concubine Hua would naturally be proud of this.

Thinking that Concubine Hua would be proud, the Queen could no longer suppress the hatred in her heart.

She took a deep breath, picked up the pen and wanted to continue writing, but she made a mistake when she started writing.

"This calligraphy is ruined. Take it out and deal with it."

The queen put the pen in her hand back on the pen holder, stood up and walked to the couch beside her and sat down.

"It's the lady."

Jianqiu quickly asked people to pack up the things.

"My lady, some time ago, I heard from Xiao Xiazi that Concubine Hua insisted that the emperor give her nephew Nianfu a title. The emperor disagreed, and Concubine Hua even threatened the emperor."

Jianqiu saw that the queen was in a bad mood, so she thought for a moment and spoke.

"I know about this matter. The ministers in the court also had some objections at the time, but because of Nian Gengyao, no one dared to say anything more."

The queen was a little confused as to why Jianqiu suddenly mentioned this.

"My lady, since both Concubine Hua and Nian Gengyao think so highly of Nian Fu, if we can find a way to make Nian Fu cripple an arm or break a leg, not only can we avenge the Third Young Master, but we can also severely hit Concubine Hua's arrogance."

"This matter can also help the emperor vent his anger. You know, the emperor was not willing to give this title, but he had to do so because of Nian Gengyao. I think the emperor is also very dissatisfied with this matter."

Jianqiu told him all the plans he had been thinking about for some time.

"This is a good idea, but you also know the situation of my family. If it were in this palace, it wouldn't be difficult for me to accomplish this with my years of accumulation. But if it were outside this palace, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy."

"Moreover, the person who can accomplish this is definitely not an ordinary person. Where can I find such a person?"

After hearing Jianqiu's words, the queen began to think carefully.

Nian Fu is the best person for her to take revenge on. If something happens to Nian Fu, both the Nian family and Concubine Hua will suffer as much as she did before, or even more.

Thinking of Concubine Hua's heartbroken and desperate expression, she couldn't help feeling happy.

Now, because of the Nian Gengyao incident, she really couldn't do anything to Concubine Hua, and even had to endure Concubine Hua's provocation.

But this does not mean that there is nothing I can do. If Jianqiu plans this method carefully, I will definitely be able to get revenge.

After all, that incident happened so long ago, and I don’t think Concubine Hua would think of bringing it upon her.

As for the emperor, I'm afraid he would be happy to see this happen.

"Jianqiu, we have to plan carefully."

"If this is accomplished, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

The queen smiled and looked at Jianqiu and said.

"I don't care about any generous reward. As long as I can make your majesty feel more comfortable, I am willing to do anything."

Seeing the empress smiling, Jianqiu couldn't help but laugh too.

Over here in Sui Yuxuan, Zhen Huan was embroidering, but her mind was wandering somewhere else.

Although she had known for a long time that her father would be demoted by the emperor, she still had some hope in her heart.

After all, she had personally received the memorial impeaching her father from the emperor and read it. She thought that by the emperor treating her like this, her father would be spared from this unprovoked disaster.

That's right, it was an unexpected disaster.

She was not a fool, so she naturally knew that it was obvious that Concubine Hua was deliberately trying to disgust her.

After all, the matter of Zhao Zhiyuan caused a lot of controversy some time ago. You have to know that after being demoted, this man relied on Nian Gengyao's intercession to get a higher position. Even a fool knows that he is now Nian Gengyao's man.

"My lady, the soup is cold, why don't you eat it?"

Huanbi looked at Zhen Huan's distressed face and asked worriedly.

"I feel so depressed that I can't eat."

"You take it away."

Zhen Huan didn't even look at him and spoke calmly.

"My lord, this is for."

Huanbi paused for a moment before continuing.

"The master's affairs are what bother you so much?"

"But since the matter has come to this, my lady, you can't let this ruin your health. Otherwise, Concubine Hua will become even more arrogant."

Seeing this, Huanbi began to persuade.

"What can I do if I'm upset? This is the emperor's order. As a concubine, I can only obey his orders."

"Don't worry, I'm not deliberately not eating. I just don't have much appetite right now."

Seeing that Huanbi was so worried about her, Zhen Huan had no choice but to give her a comforting smile and said.

"My lady, your appetite has not been very good these past few days. Why don't I ask Doctor Wen to come and take a look at you?"

Huanbi spoke up.

"No need. Sister Mei is finally getting better. Doctor Wen needs to keep an eye on her health."

"This disease comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like a thread being pulled out. Moreover, this disease is an epidemic, so we should take good care of it and let Doctor Wen take good care of it."

"I just don't have a good appetite. Why should I bother Doctor Wen for such a small matter?"

Zhen Huan quickly spoke up to stop Huanbi.

"I think maybe it's because I ate something greasy before, so my appetite is so poor. I think I should drink some tea tomorrow to relieve the greasiness."

"It's getting late, and I'm a little sleepy."

Zhen Huan put down the embroidery in her hand and smiled at Huanbi.
