About Me Than the Heroine Su

Chapter 160 - deep palace



Bai Chu was worried and bored when Bai Yinhua bumped into her.

These days she stayed in Zhuangzi, and she was amused by the jokes of the family of Prince An’s Mansion.

Lan Chuan crossed the threshold, hesitated for a few breaths behind the screen, and then stepped inside.

When I saw Bai Chu leaning on the soft couch, the long crow blue hair was not rolled up, but was casually draped behind his shoulders, leaning on his side, his left hand resting lazily on his forehead, and there was a strand of light black hair on the right, soft and soft. It hangs down softly, and the warm sunlight shines on it, and a clear light is vaguely visible.

There were also a few brilliant rays of light that gently glide across her delicate profile, adding a halo of hazy and ethereal artistic conception to her already beautiful face.

Lan Chuan forgot his purpose for a while, so he just stood there and looked at her so dazedly, he didn’t even realize it, and his calm eyes suddenly showed a little soft nostalgia.

The atmosphere was peaceful, and it took a long time for Bai Chu to discover his figure. His slender eyelashes were lifted up, and his bright eyes were kind to him. He looked in his direction, and slowly revealed a gentle smile: “Lanchuan?”

He suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly lowered his eyes: “Madam.”

“It seems that there has been no news from the third brother for a long time?” she asked softly.

Lan Chuan’s originally chaotic thoughts suddenly came over and calmly replied: “Yes. If you have anything to say, this servant will bring you there.”

“It’s okay.” Bai Chu thought for a while, then pursed his lips and smiled, “Didn’t I tell you, I don’t need to call myself a slave anymore, it’s so awkward to speak.”

Lan Chuan was stunned, “Yes.”

“As for the third brother, I don’t have much to say, but he is your master after all, and I am free here. Lanchuan, you can go back and ask him if he can help.” Bai Chu said softly, “If there is nothing wrong, you can do it again. return.”

She sighed: “The main four princes followed Prince An south, and there is no news coming back so far, everyone is worried about whether there will be a change in this, I don’t mind, you have a master-servant status on your body, but it’s not good. out of the way.”

Lan Chuan’s mind was suddenly blank for a moment, and when he heard the words behind her, the breath blocked in his heart slowly spit out.

“Don’t worry, I’ll go back and have a look.”

“Okay,” Bai Chu said with a smile, “if there is any new news, don’t forget to come back and tell me.”

Lan Chuan’s tense expression softened slightly, and he agreed obediently: “Okay.”

There was a lot of commotion outside about King An’s right and wrong, but Xu Huan wanted to calm down, but she couldn’t tell everyone about King An’s ability, and Shi also persuaded her, and everyone sympathized with her at the moment. Support her to adopt the Bai family’s child and leave a heir, the situation is in her favor, don’t care about those rumors.

Even if King An came back, she wouldn’t be to blame.

Xu Huan’s thoughts on King An were much lighter, and after this incident, she knew the importance of her parents’ family, and she wanted to repair her relationship with Shi, so she obeyed her words obediently.

The Xu family is unwilling to take care of it, but it is still necessary to enter the palace and report to Queen Xu.

After all, Queen Xu had previously intended to support the Xu family to get on King An’s boat. This matter is a private matter, but it is also involved in a careful study.

Empress Xu didn’t say anything after listening, her face was pale, and she sent Shi Shi away directly.

Her relationship with King An was not so close that she even had to pay attention to his personal affairs. Coupled with Queen Xu’s attachment to King An, she was even a little gloating when he saw an accident.

If the harem was not so lively recently, the queen would be in a better mood.

A few months ago, during the Mid-Yuan Festival, there was a sudden riot of ghosts in the harem. Several palace servants in Qiuhua Palace saw a female ghost in white clothes and long hair covering the palace in the middle of the night. Chi Chi chants “wrong”, “to take revenge” and the like.

Ghosts and witchcraft have always been taboo in the harem. Queen Xu ordered the four concubines to investigate them, but in the end, nothing was found. The backlash caused people to panic. Everyone in the palace suspected that it was Kang Zhaoyi, who used to live in Qiuhua Palace. To find out who killed her back then, and let her pay for her life.

Empress Xu took advantage of the topic and took the opportunity to greatly exaggerate the four concubines’ incompetence. She also went to the emperor to file a complaint. Although Gongquan did not fight back, the matter had already been handed over to her.

The queen doesn’t mind either, as long as she can handle this matter well, the sage will naturally see that she is not someone the four concubines can replace at will, and sooner or later Gongquan will be in her pocket.

I thought that as long as a little concubine was taken as a scapegoat to solve the matter, I didn’t want to think that in the next few months, no matter how many suspects she found, she would not be able to suppress the “girl ghost” in Qiuhua Palace. In the end, even the empress had a headache. At this moment, a blind old maid suddenly appeared in Qiuhua Palace. When I asked, I realized that this was the maidservant who was serving by Kang Zhaoyi.

According to her, she was instructed to increase the amount of a certain medicinal material in the medicinal soup that Kang Zhaoyi often drank, which dragged her down abruptly.

After that, she was assigned to the cold palace to serve as an official. After all these years, she survived undisturbedly. Until now Kang Zhaoyi has been wronged and reappeared in the world, this old woman seems to have just woken up from a dream. Hua Gong apologized to Kang Zhaoyi, and was determined to give his life for his life and tell the truth.

It sounds very moving, but compared to the fact that the old mama finally confessed that Concubine Shu came out, it is much less conspicuous.

There were indeed rumors in the palace that Kang Zhaoyi, who was murdered by Concubine Shu, wanted to have custody of the eldest prince, but Kang Zhaoyi was gone, but she was pregnant herself, and the matter was over.

Because of this rumor, the eldest prince also met the third prince several times.

But most of them were rumors, and Concubine Shu was not a vegetarian. With Gong Quan in her hand, she easily suppressed the rumors.

But at this moment, she came up with a personal certificate out of thin air, no matter how Concubine Ren Shu defended herself, she couldn’t escape.

At first, Empress Xu was hesitant about whether to make a deal with Concubine Shu in turn, but she did not want the eldest prince to move faster, so she went to the Taiji Palace directly. He was able to copy the Buddhist scriptures a hundred times to pray for Kang Zhaoyi’s blessings and escape, and he was confined to the Yongshou Palace, and he would not come out until he repented in good faith.

After all, Concubine Shu has a grown-up prince under her knees. Even in the face of the third prince, she can’t just go into the cold palace or give death like others.

The turmoil was so big that one of the four concubines was forced out of the stage. Empress Xu was naturally delighted, but on the one hand, she had to beware of Concubine Shu and the third prince, and on the other hand, she had to be fair and selfless in front of the emperor. The balance between loving and loving mother-in-law has been pondering all day long about caring for the emperor to appease the third prince.

Empress Xu was afraid that she would be ill again, so she hurriedly drank the medicine and rested for a few days. How could she bother to worry about King An?

“Empress Empress, Empress De Concubine asks to see you.” Suddenly, the gatekeeper came to report.

Concubine De has always been low-key and dull, and she always comes to the door. She suddenly came to ask for an interview, and Empress Xu was really curious.

“What kind of wind is this, and it brought you to the Kunning Palace in this palace?”

Concubine De had no children, and she was the one who was the least fond of fighting among the four concubines. The Empress somewhat disdained her so-called pretense of being indifferent to fame and fortune, but at the same time, she felt a little less fearful.

Concubine De’s face did not change, and she respectfully saluted Empress Xu, until she heard her call, and then she slowly sat down on the red sandalwood chair brought by the palace servant next to her.

“Concubine, thank the Empress for the seat.”

Empress Xu slowly put down the tea bowl in her hand: “If Concubine De has anything to say, just say it bluntly. I’m not feeling well, I’m afraid I won’t be sitting for a long time and I should take a break.”

Concubine De narrowed her eyes and said softly, “Concubine respectfully asks the Empress to step back.”

The queen looked at her with a half-smile but a half-smile, then looked slightly sideways: “You all go down first.”

“Yes.”

Only the two of them were left in the huge hall, and the queen said, “You can speak now.”

However, Concubine De suddenly stood up and solemnly knelt down in front of her, causing the Empress to be surprised: “You!”

“The concubine has something to report to the Empress.”

“What’s up?”

“Empress Empress, the concubine is bold, and now the second prince is seriously ill, can you think about it, how should you go?”

Empress Xu’s face was startled and angry at first, and then she sneered: “Bengong is the empress and the biological mother of all the princes, what else does Bengong think about?”

Concubine De sighed softly: “Empress Empress, my concubine has no children, and I never interacted with the people in the harem. Now I have no choice but to come here and ask for your protection. My concubine is here, I beg you to tell the truth with your concubine. “

The queen looked at her suspiciously: “Why do you say there is no way out?”

Concubine De buried her head even lower: “Niang Niang, Your Majesty’s body doesn’t seem to be stable.”

“Bang——” The tea bowl in Queen Xu’s hand was knocked to the ground in an instant, but she didn’t care, she leaned over eagerly, and shouted sharply, “Presumptuous!”

“What the concubine said is true. If the lady doesn’t believe it, the concubine is willing to wait for the day when you truly believe in the concubine.”

After speaking, Concubine De saluted respectfully again, and turned away without any hesitation, her back was neat and tidy.

“etc……”

Just as she stretched out her hand to open the door, Queen Xu called out to her almost subconsciously, “What are you talking about?”

With her back to Queen Xu, De Fei’s elegant face quickly flashed a smug gleam of pride, and when she regained her senses, all those aggressive emotions had disappeared.

She softly stood under the Queen’s head, and said softly, “The Queen Mother should have already seen Her Royal Highness Prince An, right?”

This “His Royal Highness” is definitely not an ordinary respectful address.

Empress Xu was startled at first, her pupils quickly enlarged, full of unexpected shock: “You! Concubine De, are you from King An?”

Concubine De smiled lightly, but did not answer: “The concubine will not disturb the Empress’ rest. If you have anything else, just let someone come to inform the concubine, and the concubine will definitely come to greet you in person.”

She was slightly blessed, then raised her hand to open the door, and walked out of Kunning Palace first.

On the other side, Bai Chu, who was in the suburbs of Beijing, saw Lan Chuan who came back from Shen Yuzhi. His brows were slightly wrinkled, and he was worried.

Bai Chu asked, “What happened?”

“Ma’am,” Lan Chuan replied in a low voice, “The third young master said that the Fourth Highness and Prince An met a mountain bandit near Yanzhou.”
