The empress, the phoenix, was out of harmony. The emperor had to visit her every day. Once again, Phoenix Palace became a place for the concubines of the harem. All kinds of tonics and gifts flowed into Su Mianyue's storeroom like flowing water. Su Mianyue could not help but sigh. Being sick was also good. At least it could make a lot of money. Mu Tinng came to report every day, which made Su Mianyue a little unhappy.
They didn't have much to talk about, but Su Mianyue had to deal with it because of mu ting's plan. Moreover, they were interested in Mu Tinng's occasional suggestion. They had a good talk. When Mu Tinng left, Su Mianyue would get angry under the covers.
The ghost believed that Mu Tinng really wanted to break the ice with her and be a loving couple, afraid that there was a huge conspiracy waiting for her.
"Miss, in fact, the emperor is very good to miss. The emperor is the biggest Tianlan. If he is good to miss, miss will be able to walk in the back palace. Even that bitch gu ling is forbidden from coming to trouble miss. Why is miss still unhappy?" Biwu looked at Su Mianyue in puzzlement, not understanding what Su Mianyue was worried about.
"Baby Biwu, haven't you heard the old saying," no matter what you do, you are either a traitor or a thief?" Su Mianyue cast a hateful glance at Biwu.
"Ah!" Biwu's mouth was wide open in surprise. After a long time, he nodded his head forcefully and said, "When miss said this, the servant also felt that it was abnormal. In the past, the emperor's face was gloomy when he saw miss, as if miss owed him a lot of money, but now suddenly he is so good to miss. There must be a conspiracy."
"Even if your brain feels abnormal, then it must be abnormal." Su Mianyue held his chin in contemplation and sifted through the recent events. He did not find anything unusual. "What exactly does Mu Tinng want from me?"
"Apart from the silver, miss has a pretty face. Her figure hasn't developed yet. At most, it's just average." Biwu looked at Su Mianyue and said seriously.
With a slap on Biwu's head, Su Mianyue said angrily, "I'm not in a good shape yet. I have nice breasts..." Looking down at the chest that was barely a b cup, Su Mianyue said dejectedly, "It looks like it's about the same size as Gu Linng's. It really doesn't look good."
"Mm-hmm." Biwu nodded repeatedly.
"That's better than you, one at the airport." Su Mianyue's disdainful gaze fell on Biwu's chest, subconsciously reaching out to touch it, but Biwu jumped away.
"What are you hiding from, miss? I just want to take your measurements and see if you still have room for development."
"The young lady just likes sex, so I won't fall for it." Staring at the hand of a salted pig that Su Mianyue had yet to confiscate, Biwu wrapped his arms around his chest and snorted, "Although miss's figure is not outstanding, but miss's face is indeed the most beautiful in Capital City. Even if you look at the entire Tianlan, it is difficult to find a more beautiful one than miss."
"It's just that I can't find anything more beautiful, but I can find something even. Concubine Lang's appearance can compete with mine, and her figure is much more enchanting than mine." Su Mianyue admitted the truth in frustration and sat there listlessly, frowning and saying, "So Mu Tinng must not want my skin, but he has other plans."
"That's not necessarily true. Isn't it said that all vegetables and carrots have their own love? Miss's appearance is refined, and the most important thing is her temperament. That's incomparable. Even ten Concubine Lang is less than one in ten thousand miss." Biwu clapped.
Straightening up, Su Mianyue finally regained some confidence, and then said helplessly, "If Mu Tinng really just wants me, I can't resist at all. Not to mention that he is my husband in name, I can only comply with his identity. So the possibility is almost zero. If you think about it again, you might be able to guess what Mu Tinng's intentions are."
Biwu nodded, thinking that Su Mianyue's analysis made too much sense, but before the two of them could figure out why, Chunhua came in to report the news.
"To the empress, Old Madam Gu is seriously ill and wants to see Concubine Ling. Concubine Ling is already kneeling at the entrance of the imperial study." Chunhua saluted.
"Old Madam Gu is really sick at the right time," Su Mianyue sneered.
Gu Linng could not charm Mu Tinng in the harem, so the Gu's Mansion used this method. Mu Tinng would naturally pity Gu Linng, and the punishment should be canceled.
"Pass on the imperial edict and ask Imperial Physician Xie to go to the Gu's Mansion. After all, Old Madam Gu is the emperor's sworn wife, isn't she?" Su Mianyue spoke slowly, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Once Gu Linng regained his favor, Su Mianyue would never have a good life. Seeing that half a year from the old lady was about to pass, Su Mianyue did not want to cause any trouble before he left the palace.
But Su Mianyue did not know that she had been deceived by the old woman again. The old woman only said that Su Mianyue would not be in danger in half a year, but she did not say that she would leave the palace in half a year, let alone that she would leave the palace safely.
Chunhua took his orders and left. Su Mianyue stood up lazily and said to biwu, "Go get the sedan chair ready and put some of the pastries you made in the morning. Concubine Ling is playing the bitter trick. If I don't show up, our emperor will be in a difficult position."
Biwu answered, but his back could not help but tremble. Why did he always feel a strange feeling when he heard his miss's last words, instead of really trying to relieve jun's worries?
Gu Linng was kneeling at the entrance of the imperial study, asking Dehai to pass a message to Mu Tinng, and he was not in a hurry to ask for an audience, but the frail figure kneeling in the sun was really heartbreaking.
It worked for people who cared about themselves. Mu Tinng was not Wuqing to Gu Linng, or else she wouldn't have been disappointed so many times that she retained her second class status.
"Concubine Ling is still kneeling outside?" Mu Tinng asked with a frown, and the speed at which he reviewed the notes slowed significantly.
"The servant has already said to send lady Concubine Ling back to the palace, but even if the spirit concubine did not say a word in tears, it would not be easy for the servant to forcefully send lady Concubine Ling back." When Dehai replied, he carefully glanced at Mu Tinng and saw that his face had returned to its normal state. He tactfully retreated.
Although Mu Tinng stopped asking Gu Linng, Gu Linng outside had a way to get his attention.
"Mother, let's go back to the palace. You just had a heart attack yesterday. How can you stand the sun if you continue to shine like this?" Bizhu cried and pleaded.
"Shut up. I will not spare you for disturbing the emperor's handling of the affairs of the state." Gu Linng's voice was hard to conceal, but the volume was not low enough for the people in the imperial study with the windows open to hear it clearly.
Mu Tinng frowned again. He put down his pen and was about to go out to take a look, but he heard the eunuch sing, "The empress is here."
Mu Tinng paused and sat back to see what Su Mianyue would do about it.
At this moment, Mu Tinng's mood suddenly cleared up. It was as if the worry about gu ling had dissipated like a mist. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up, which made Dehai look frightened and he knew who he should please.
"Empress, isn't this lady Concubine Ling? How could she kneel here? Could she have made another mistake?" Holding Su Mianyue out of the sedan chair, Biwu looked at Gu Linng doubtfully and thought of something, "The servant remembers the emperor's decree. Concubine Ling will be grounded until the empress is fully recovered from her injuries and will kneel at the entrance of Weiyang Palace for half an hour every day. Has the emperor made another decree and changed the location of the punishment?"
Su Mianyue sneered and gave Biwu a look. This girl was really irritating. She didn't see Gu Linng's face darken. If she had another heart attack, how would she sing the rest of the show?
Biwu quietly spat out his tongue and stopped talking. Instead, he helped Su Mianyue up.
"Your concubine sees the empress." Gu lingrou opened her mouth weakly, and even her nod was supported by Bizhu.
"No gift." Su Mianyue said calmly, and then said, "This palace is confused. Concubine Ling kneels here not to welcome this palace, but to accept the emperor's punishment. Then the imperial concubine continues, this palace went to see the emperor."
Gu Linng gritted his teeth and begged as Su Mianyue was about to step forward, "Empress, please say something nice to your concubine. Her grandmother is seriously ill. She wants to see your concubine, your concubine..."
"It seems that Concubine Ling's rules have been learned in vain." Su Mianyue shook his head in disappointment and said, "Concubine Ling, you have a grandmother. How many concubines in the harem don't have a grandmother? Not to mention others, even my father was seriously injured and my elder brother was disabled. I have never asked the emperor for grace. If all the concubines and concubines in the harem were to leave the palace because of the elder's serious illness, how many concubines and concubines in the harem could stay in the palace? Even if this grace is a request, you should also ask Empress Dowager, this palace, or Concubine Hua, who is temporarily in charge of the six palaces. Concubine Ling, however, you have overstepped your rank to look for the emperor. Do you think Empress Dowager and this palace are all ornaments, that the palace rules can open the back door for Concubine Ling at any time, or that the emperor does not have any political affairs to deal with, and that you should take the spirit consort as the first priority?"
"Concubine..." Gu Linng's eyes were filled with tears, hiding his resentment under the tears, but his words were once again blocked by Su Mianyue.
"I know that you are filial and don't want to make things difficult for you. I have already sent Imperial Physician Xie to visit Old Madam Gu. If old lady gu is really at her age, all you can do is burn incense and pray for her. After all, she is a concubine. You can't touch the funeral of such ordinary people to avoid bringing bad luck to the harem. Is Concubine Ling selfish enough to care only about his own feelings, but not about the fortunes of the entire harem, or even the emperor?" Su Mianyue's tone was still faint, but it blocked gu ling's request for an opportunity.
Imperial Physician Xie was Empress Dowager's man. He would not lie if he went to see Old Madam Gu. When it came to the emperor, Gu Linng, even the first concubine, had to be careful. Otherwise, he would be forced into the cold palace by Mu Tinng.
"Well, Concubine Ling, you'd better go back. If you really fall ill here, you know that your filial piety has caused your body to be unable to bear it. Those who don't know think that you are using bitter meat to win the emperor's love on the grounds that your elders are seriously ill. After all, you are still being punished. Concubine Ling, since you have already entered the palace, and you are still the imperial concubine whom the emperor dotes on at the top of his heart, you must restrain your manner of doing things. Everything must be done first by the emperor. Don't take the emperor's favor to you and do something that will make the emperor difficult. After all, every move of the emperor is related to the court. You can't let the emperor leave the name of a fatuous monarch who dotes on his imperial concubine and destroys his country in the history of youth because of your Concubine Ling's selfishness, can you?" Su Mianyue gently advised, every word of which was from the bottom of her heart. However, she was hostile to Gu Linng, and all the words became targeted at framing.
But Gu Linng couldn't refute a single word, because what Su Mianyue said was true.
Turning to bizhu, Su Mianyue's eyes turned cold and he shouted, "Bizhu, as the head lady of Weiyang Palace, you indulged your master twice and again to do something out of the ordinary. Do you really think that if your master trusts you, no one will dare to touch you? A servant like you who doesn't know how to persuade the lord can't be too much killed with a cane. Today, your master in the japanese palace is too worried about you, so he spared you this time and went to get fifty of his own staff. If there is another time, he will find a white ling and end it, so he doesn't have to wait for his release."
Bizhu's body trembled with fear. She was just a slave. How could she interfere with the master's whereabouts? However, she had to suffer whatever the master did that was not pleasing to her.
At this moment, Bizhu had a grudge against Gu Linng and was actually envious of Yingchun's original actions.
So what if he was a traitor? At least he became a small master in the harem, much more glorious than being a stewardess.
