"Everyone, take a seat. It's rare for you to come to the Phoenix Maiden Palace. If my body isn't well, then feel free to speak!" Meng Qianrong didn't have a good impression of them, but she couldn't possibly dare to leave openly.

"Actually, us sisters came here to inform you that Your Majesty has bestowed upon her the title of a dancer as an imperial concubine, and that he reigns over his every night. She didn't even go to live with him when he bestowed upon her the palace, and now she's openly living with him in the Palace of Qing Xing, Your Highness, you have to say something!" You are the Palace Mistress, if you don't say anything, then wouldn't that woman be flying in the sky? " After he finished speaking, he decided to wait and see how she would respond.

She had no interest in their conversation. If it was in the beginning, she would have felt wronged and angry, but now that Hua Chenfeng was behind her, Wang Shouchuan didn't even bother to look at him, so why would she appear in front of Wang Shouchuan?

"I know all of this. After a few days, when the Japanese palace is in better shape, I'll find Xue Fei to come and chat with us. Today, all of you should go back to your own homes." Meng Qianrong was ready to send them away with a few words.

The three of them looked at each other, and you, especially Chenfei, had an unwilling look on your face.

"Esteemed queen, you are the head of the imperial harem. It's not too long before that woman takes your place. Are you not worried at all?" Chen Fei wanted to force her, to see how long she could remain calm.

"Heh heh, my body is weak and sickly, I can't serve by the king's side. Since I have a younger sister that has been doted upon by the king, if the king were to waste my time, I'd have nothing to say!" Meng QianRong had already seen through all of this. She wanted to anger her, but there was no way.

"The Queen is so generous! "Since that's the case, our little sisters will head back first. Esteemed queen, you should rest more before …" There was something in her words. She turned around and left.

The other two concubines also left together. Meng QianRong only got up after they left the palace, "Hmph, you didn't dare to do it yourself. You just wanted me to lie down in this muddy water. You really put your heart into it."

"Mistress, do you still want to find that Xue Fei?" Little Lian asked.

"What's the use of finding her, she will only make me look petty. She is now the king's favorite and can live in the palace, it can be seen how much the king loves her, maybe she is the king's true love, why should we go and provoke the king? Isn't it good for us to live a peaceful life?" Although she hadn't taken even half a step out of Phoenix Nest Palace, she still understood the matters of the imperial harem.

"Mm …" Little Lian nodded in agreement with her master's words.

The few of them left the Phoenix Nest Palace and discussed angrily within the imperial garden. Coincidentally, Lan Qi'er happened to pass by and she heard everything they said.

"Mistress, would you like to go to the Queen's side? "The queen is actually a very kind person. Just now in the imperial garden, I heard with my own ears that the empress was biased towards you and oppressing them." Lan Qi'er told Cen Xue everything she had heard.

Queen? In her memory she had never seen the queen, and she remembered that at that time she had spoken of the queen's death in front of him. She had pointed to her nose and said that the queen had been killed by him, so what was the truth? This filled her with curiosity towards the queen!?

"Qi'er, I heard that the queen is unwell. Go and see if there's anything you need to give me. I haven't seen the queen in such a long time, it's about time to visit her." After she finished speaking, she walked towards the Phoenix Maiden Palace out of curiosity.

Arriving outside the door, she lifted her head and looked at the three words, reminding her of the scene when Sun Zhang changed her name to the Lan Ling Palace. Memories surfaced, causing Cen Xue's eyes to be shrouded in a layer of mist …

"Mistress, are you alright?" Lan Qi'er pushed her arm.

"Ah …" "It's nothing, I just remembered something from the past, so I'm a bit sad. It's okay now, let's go in." He swallowed the tears in his eyes, took a deep breath and slowly walked inside.

Cen Xue looked at the layout of the palace. She had never been to the Phoenix Nest Palace before, and had only been there a few times after it had been rebuilt. Now that she saw the original appearance, it was actually very elegant.

"Cen Xue greets the queen." In the bedroom, Meng QianRong was still lying on the bed pretending to be sick, looking at her through the thin curtain of the bed.

"I wonder what kind of wind sent my sister to my Phoenix Nest Palace?" She was indeed a beauty. With just a glance, Meng QianRong was completely captivated by her beauty.

She was not like the rest of them who dressed up in a charming and seductive manner. She wore a goose-yellow blouse and had a simple pearl hairpin in her hair bun. She looked elegant and refined. No wonder the king doted on her.

"I heard from Chenfei and the rest that the Queen has been bedridden for quite some time. Cen Xue has always been greeting the Queen in the future, so she brought a thousand year old ginseng to pay her respects." Cen Xue said in a gentle tone. Even though she was doted upon by the king, she knew the principle of being a pampered by others. She could not let the queen lose face in front of her.

Meng Qianrong coughed lightly. Xiao Lian, who was standing beside the bed, immediately went forward to take the ginseng from Lan Qi'er's hand. She then pulled open the thin curtain covering the bed, showing her true face.

"Sister, thank you. I haven't been in good health lately. I need you to take care of the king. Chenfei and the others can do whatever you want with me. You just need to do your own thing. Do you understand what I'm saying?" Meng Qianrong saw that she was also a smart person, so she happily met her for the first time.

"Cen Xue will remember your words." Looking at the queen who was half lying on the bed, she had the appearance of a sickly beauty. It could be seen that life in the palace wasn't very happy for her.

The two looked at each other. There was no hatred in their eyes. They only looked at each other more carefully …

"Cough, cough …" "If little sister is fine, please go back first. I'm a bit tired and would like to rest for a while." Meng Qianrong purposely coughed and ordered them to leave.

"Alright, Cen Xue, go back first. Queen, rest well …" Cen Xue stood up and bowed, while Lan Qi'er supported her and left slowly.

She didn't know how many times better this queen was compared to the Chen Concubine of that day. She really didn't understand why she had neglected the queen before this. Was it because her father was the Prime Minister Meng Shihai?

After leaving Fengyi Palace and passing through the imperial garden, Cen Xue saw Doctor Kou from afar. After entering the palace for so long, she had never gone to look for him.

"Doctor Keser …" Cen Xue followed after him.

Heather had never heard such a melodious voice before, so she was a stranger. When she turned around, she realized it was the recently doted upon Xue Fei by the king!

Cen Xue quickly ran over to him. Doctor Kessler looked much tougher than he would in five years. After all, he had never experienced such hardships, so he looked much more energetic.

"Coser pays his respects to esteemed imperial concubine." He bowed 90 degrees towards Cen Xue.

"Doctor Keser, there's no need to be so courteous. You're an elder, how can you pay respects to me?" Cen Xue helped him up. Even though he wasn't as old as five years later, the obvious lines in his eyes were impossible to escape.

"Hehe, since the Empress is so humble, this is the fortune of the King." It was rare to see a girl like her, who was able to sit on the throne of the imperial concubine, being so humble.

As the two chatted, Heather did not forget to carefully examine this king's new pet. Indeed, she was beautiful, and fair skin was a rare sight in Lou Lan's country. The weather here was hot, and even the skin color was a little dark.

"May I ask why Xue Fei stopped me?" Everyone in the palace knew what he was capable of, but they all wanted him to treat any minor ailments.

But he wasn't someone anyone could ask, unless it was the king. If it wasn't for his majesty's orders, he wouldn't have gone to any of the other palace matriarchs. The queen had been sick for several months now, and he wouldn't have gone even if the king hadn't spoken.

"It's nothing. It's just that it's rare to see you. I've been in the palace for almost two months, and I haven't seen you once." Cen Xue casually said.

"Looks like I'm late today!" Just as Cen Xue finished speaking, another unfamiliar voice sounded from the other end.

Cen Xue looked over curiously. Who was this old woman? She looked about fifty years old, but there was not a single strand of white hair in her hair. Only the wrinkles on her face betrayed her age.

"Lady, this is the High Priest, Carina." Lan Qi'er looked at her puzzled expression and reminded her in a low voice.

So it was the High Priest. Yu Wu would take over after her death, so if she chose to be with Yuwen Tuo, who would she be looking forward to the next High Priest?

"Empress Dowager Xue is safe and sound." Carina took the initiative to bow to her.

Cen Xue was stunned. Only when she heard her voice by her ear did she regain her senses.

"So you are the High Priest?" Cen Xue still had not recovered from her curiosity.

Carina looked at her, a smile on her face. This girl was really adorable. No wonder she was able to win over the king's heart.

"Yes, I am the High Priest of Lou Lan, Karina. When Empress is free, you can come find me at the Immortal Mansion." The child was simple and kind, and Carina saw through her at a glance.

"This, would it be a mistake for you to be the successor?" In the past, she often went to the palace, but she didn't know what was different about it now.

"Oh? How did the Empress know that I was the successor? " She had never mentioned this matter to anyone. She had wanted to make a name for herself in the whole of Lou Lan Country, but Yu Wu had volunteered herself in the end.

She had been searching for a long time, but she couldn't find the most suitable successor. She felt ashamed …

Cen Xue was stunned. She seemed to have said something wrong as her mind spun. She could only use Yu Wu as a shield. "It was Yu Wu who told me."

Hearing her answer, it turned out to be that little girl. No wonder she knew about it.

"It doesn't matter. As long as the esteemed Empress wants to, we can do it at any time. The doors of my palace are open for Empress Dowager Xue at any time." She smiled.

"Mm, then I must go take a seat when I have time, but it's already getting late. I have to hurry back so that the king won't be able to find me. You guys chat a bit, I'll be leaving first." Behind her, Lan Qi'er was tugging at her clothes, reminding her that it was getting late and that the king was about to return.
