Chapter 207 Leaving at midnight, the so-called spice
The next morning, the news that the emperor left Concubine Nian's palace in the middle of the night and went to Concubine Wan's palace spread throughout the Old Summer Palace.
Fortunately, Concubine Nian is now under house arrest, so she will not be humiliated in person by Concubine Qi and others.
But the fact that the emperor left her mercilessly last night and ran away to accompany another woman, the person she hated the most, was enough to make Concubine Nian feel extremely ashamed.
This made her already existing disgust towards Zhen Huan reach its peak. Now it couldn't even be called disgust, but a hatred that made her wish for her death.
She hates Zhen Huan.
It was Zhen Huan who made her suffer such humiliation, and it was Zhen Huan who made her lose the emperor's favor.
He had clearly put in so much effort, but Zhen Huan did nothing, so the emperor went straight to Zhen Huan.
When the Emperor cared about Concubine Xuan, she could still comfort herself that it was only because of the Sixth Prince. But when the Emperor cared about Zhen Huan, she couldn't even find an excuse.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor left Qingliang Palace in the middle of the night last night in the heavy rain and went to the Bitong Academy of Wan Guiren."
Huichun placed the lit incense burner in front of the queen and began to report carefully.
"Mr. Wan?"
The queen opened her eyes with a little surprise and looked at Huichun and asked.
"Yes, Lady Wan."
Huichun nodded affirmatively.
The queen raised her lips into a sarcastic smile and closed her eyes again, fiddling with the emerald green beads on her bracelet.
"Concubine Nian has lost face this time. In the past, she was shameless enough to seduce the Emperor away from the Empress. Now Concubine Nian has received retribution."
As the senior maidservant beside the Queen, Huichun naturally knew the good things that Concubine Nian had done in the past. Now that Concubine Nian was being humiliated in such a way, she naturally felt a little gloating.
"No matter how good the old are, they can't compare to the freshness of the young."
"Whatever this palace went through, naturally Concubine Nian could not escape either."
The queen was not very surprised by this matter itself. In fact, she knew very well that her husband, the emperor, was a person who easily got tired of the old and loved the new.
He was able to treat me like this back then, so it was only natural for him to treat Concubine Nian like this now because of Concubine Wan's treatment of Concubine Nian.
She was surprised before because the emperor did not go to Concubine Xuan's Wufutang, but went to Bitong Academy to find Concubine Wan.
But now she figured out the twists and turns. Wasn't her sister most afraid of thunderstorm nights back then?
The emperor must have been thinking of his sister, so he went to Bitong Academy.
But when she thought of this, she couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Although he has always hated his sister for taking the emperor away, he now has to use his sister as a card to achieve his own goal.
It seems that I have lived under my sister's shadow all my life and will never be able to get rid of her influence.
She and her sister used to be good friends, even though she was a concubine's daughter and her sister was a legitimate daughter.
But her sister has always been very kind to her and is willing to share any good things with her.
It was precisely because they once had such a close relationship that she felt extremely sad after she learned that her sister had seduced the emperor. She was not only in pain of being betrayed by the emperor, but also in pain of being betrayed by her sister.
The two people closest to her and the ones she valued the most joined forces to deal her the most painful blow.
"My lady, how can this be the same?"
"Back then, Concubine Nian deliberately used tricks to snatch the emperor away. Now, Concubine Wan did nothing. The emperor took the initiative to go there."
After Huichun finished speaking, she realized that she had said the wrong thing and looked at the silent queen with some trepidation.
"She doesn't need to do anything. As long as she is there, the emperor's heart will follow."
"If a person's heart is not there, all that remains is a shell."
The queen did not notice the loophole in Huichun's words. Instead, she stared ahead with empty eyes and spoke with a slightly sarcastic tone.
I don’t know if he was talking about Lady Wan or someone else.
"I remember that the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi presented a mandarin duck and harmony screen as tribute last year. This is a good thing. You can give it to Lady Wan as a reward."
The queen withdrew her thoughts, thought about it and decided to add fuel to the fire.
She naturally knew that Concubine Nian, who had always been proud and arrogant, was being humiliated in this way, and now she must be eager to eat Zhen Huan's flesh alive. She just wanted to let Concubine Nian know that she saw everything. This screen was meant to irritate Concubine Nian.
Now she only needs to deal with Fu Cha Zhixi alone. As for Concubine Wan, Concubine Nian will naturally take care of her. She just needs to add fuel to the fire.
"What kind of incense did you light?"
The queen smelled the scent coming from the incense burner. Because of the incident with Huanyi incense, she was somewhat averse to all spices.
"My lady, I saw you were reciting scriptures. It rained last night and the air was very humid, so I lit some sandalwood."
Huichun began to explain.
"Sincerity is not about these external things. Sincerity of heart is the most important thing. Please take this thing away."
The queen gave instructions to Huichun.
"I'll take it out right away."
Huichun quickly took the incense burner out.
Fu Cha Zhixi was drawing her eyebrows with black ink when she heard the news.
She was curious about what this Luozidai looked like when she watched TV dramas before, so when she received the Luozidai sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she couldn't wait to try it.
"My lady, Lady An is here."
Yuhu walked quickly into the hall and said to Fucha Zhixi.
"Really? Please ask her to come in."
Fu Cha Zhixi put down the Luozidai in her hand and turned to look at the door with some excitement.
"You are finally here. I thought you had other concubines to befriend, so you didn't come."
Fu Cha Zhixi stood up and greeted him with a smile.
"Sister, you are joking. The person closest to me in this palace is only you, and there are no other concubines."
"Sister, you sound jealous when you say that."
An Lingrong has been with Fu Cha Zhixi for a long time, so she naturally knows each other's temperament.
Not only would she not feel that she had offended her sister by the other party's words that sounded like blame and complaint, but she would instead feel that this was a way for them to get closer to each other.
"Of course I'm jealous. I know that you've been going to the Wan Guiren Palace all the time and haven't come to Wufu Hall."
"Why is there something so good in Bitong Academy that makes you so reluctant to leave?"
Fu Cha Zhixi snorted and asked angrily.
"how could be."
"I just came to my sister's place."
"I had no choice but to go to Sister Wan's palace some time ago. I was also entrusted by someone to act as a middleman."
An Lingrong explained somewhat helplessly.
"What's going on?"
"Could it be the incident that happened to Chun Chang a few days ago?"
Fu Cha Zhixi asked with some confusion.
