Chapter 223

"That's my tea cup," Su Rushuang complained. "What a surprise. If I sit in Donghua palace like this one day, I'll see if you're surprised. What about Xiao Yi, I can't hear you coming in."

Meng Qianchong swallowed a few salivas as if he hadn't heard her.

Su Rushuang shouted "Xiao Yi" impatiently outside. Seeing that she could not be seen for a long time, he said impatiently, "this girl can't see anyone for a few days. I don't know where she died. If I were to see her, I would have to peel her skin."

"You say Xiao Yi," Meng Qianchong raised his eyebrows. "She's not a female official in your palace now. She's an Iraqi talent I've newly accepted into the palace. She won't bring you tea and water."

Su Rushuang was stunned. He asked mutely, "when did you take her into the back palace to be your concubine? Tell me anyway."

"She's meritorious," Meng Qianzhong snorted coldly, "it's much more effective than you."

Su Rushuang wondered, "what's her credit? I don't know how you saw her go together. I gave her to you before. Aren't you reluctant?"

Meng Qianchong's eyes flashed a trace of evil. He looked straight at her, "she has removed the Chen imperial concubine for me. It's Xie Yingmei. Do you think it's more useful than you?"

Su Rushuang opened her eyes in disbelief. "How could she help you get rid of the imperial concubine Chen? Which one are you playing with?"

"Kill with a knife. You don't know that Xiao Yi's mother's family is Mu's army," Meng Qianzhong took off his coat and went to bed. "It seems that you really don't know anything as general Mu's niece."

Su Rushuang's face turned white and said, "she's a mu Jiajun. Why did she come to my palace?"

"I don't know. In short, she confessed her identity to me and wanted to do something for me in exchange for her life, so I asked her to remove the obstacle of concubine Chen," Meng Qianchong put his hands behind his head and smiled at her. "What do you say about killing with a knife?"

Su Rushuang looked at her smiling face and felt creepy, "so you used a concubine to let her be your executioner?"

"Yes, what do you think?" Meng Qianzhong turned his head to see her.

Su Rushuang hesitated for a long time and squeezed out a few words from her teeth. "How do I know? Just like it yourself. In short, she doesn't have to carry tea and pour water in my palace all day."

Meng Qianchong showed his white teeth, "but I killed her in the evening when I spoiled her talent."

Su Rushuang was stiff and whispered, "then you're going to cross the river and tear down the bridge."

"Well said, but do you think I can keep such people around me?" Meng Qianzhong's voice was terrible. "This is also to cut off an unscrupulous man for you. You absolutely can't keep such people around. I'm sure you will betray you."

Su Rushuang sneered, "what you said is very good. If you take good care of the German imperial concubine, there will be no betrayal of me in the palace."

Meng Qianzhong glanced at her fiercely, "if you ask me to take care of the princess, you have to take care of yourself and don't come out to make trouble again."

Su Rushuang brushed his lips and turned over to sleep. "Who are you going to push to kill imperial concubine Chen like this?"

"Don't worry about me. There are many people dying in vain in the back palace. As soon as concubine Chen leaves, everyone will soon forget about it. At that time, they will still pay attention to others and take care of a person from the state of Qin." Meng Qianzhong didn't pay much attention to it. As soon as he closed his eyes, he went to sleep.

Su Rushuang drooped her eyes and thought for a while, and whispered, "you won't treat me like this in the future, just like stepping on an ant."

Meng Qianzhong opened a pair of obsidian eyes in the vast darkness, "then be clever to me. Don't make me angry with you. Just stay in Huayang palace."

Su Rushuang bit her lips and turned over to sleep. She didn't look at him anymore.

It was afternoon after Xue ronghua and Chu Zongge were chatting outside the palace that day. When she hurried to Zhaoyun hall, she saw Princess de there.

Xue ronghua looked at the silent palace and wondered, "why is the German imperial concubine here?"

Luo Ninghai looked at her carelessly, "where have you been? Why did you come back at this time? The palace has been waiting for you for a long time."

Xue ronghua looked anxiously at the palace, "madam, did something bad happen when the maidservant went out?"

"The little prince Meng Yanqi is in Zhongcui palace," Luo Ninghai brushed his sleeve. "If you go to see him, you can go to the palace by the way."

Xue ronghua was stunned and opened his eyes in disbelief. "Why did the empress want her maidservant to go to Zhongcui palace? What happened to empress Chen?"

Luo Ninghai stared at her calmly and said with a smile: "don't you know that Princess Chen was seriously ill last night and the imperial doctor's rescue was ineffective. She has gone. The little prince was sent to the palace by the emperor."

Xue ronghua was shocked and hurried into the palace. She had only been out all night. How could such a big thing happen to her, imperial concubine Chen... How could something happen to her? She had just given birth to a little prince and could spend the rest of her life safely in the palace. Why was she suddenly seriously ill.

"Don't go. Calm down and listen to the palace," Luo Ning said calmly on the sea. "It's heartache for the palace to lose an ally. Naturally, I'm surprised how she left like this, but you know it's in the palace... Many people in the palace left like this."

Xue ronghua seemed to be nailed to the steps by someone. She turned pale and said, "who is it? I just went out at night. How can she die?"

"The first emperor abdicated for only an hour," Luo Ninghai looked at her bitterly. "You should take care of her in Zhaoyun hall. Why did you run outside the palace."

Xue ronghua gnashed his teeth and said, "she can be killed, that is, things of identity. Only the mother can know who wants a mother's life."

Luo Ninghai's pupils tightened. "Are you just doubting this palace?"

Xue ronghua took a breath, "I don't dare, but I didn't know how many things I missed last night."

"I don't know what you missed," Luo Ninghai snorted coldly. "Last night, concubine Chen suddenly vomited blood. All the Royal doctors went to Zhaoyun hall. Even the emperor came from Huayang palace, but there was no way to return to heaven. Concubine Chen died in the emperor's arms."

"That's it," Xue ronghua suddenly felt angina pectoris. "Imperial concubine Chen died like this?"

"Otherwise, do you think there's something hidden here," Luo Ninghai gave her a white look. "You don't have to be sad. It's reasonable to find out the real murderer behind the scenes and avenge imperial concubine Chen."

Xue ronghua covered her chest. Because she was obsessed with the romantic and snowy moon, she didn't treat Xie Yingmei in time. She was already regretful, "then... Who did my mother think the murderer would be?"

Luo Ninghai lowered his eyes and said, "the palace has not revealed the true identity of its allies to anyone, but whether some people can think of it or not is another matter."

"You mean Su Rushuang's hand?"

"There are only a few who have motives. Who do you think it is?" Luo Ninghai walked carelessly to the gate of the palace and looked back and said, "you can go back to the palace with this palace now. If the leader of Zhaoyun hall is not here, you princess of Qin can go back."

Xue ronghua's complicated eyes fell on her face, "I don't want to go. I want to know who killed her."

Luo Ninghai curved his lips. "Talking here can't save the people who have died. What can you do in the palace as a person of the state of Qin?"

Xue ronghua clenched his fist tightly with both hands and said in a deep voice, "I'll stay."

Luo Ninghai smiled and covered up the difference in the bottom of his eyes, "this palace is up to you. It's your own business. Without imperial concubine Chen, Su Rushuang can be removed from this palace."

"You can't," Xue ronghua shook his head decisively. "You need help to bring down Su Rushuang."

Luo Ninghai didn't mean to be angry, but smiled at her, "what do you mean, can't this palace?"

Xue ronghua's eyes brightened and looked straight at him, "you need a helper, that's me."

Zhuang Youyi drank a cup of soup with worry, turned her face and looked at her secretly.

Jiang Jinwen finally couldn't sit still. She glanced at her impatiently. "Do you want to tell me about Princess Chen?"

"How do you know?" Zhuang Youyi opened her mouth in surprise. "But... It's really strange that concubine Chen left like this."

"What's strange about this? It's just that the mother is seriously ill and it's difficult to recover at once," Jiang Jinwen asked with her head askew. "How do you care about the affairs of the harem?"

"I used to eat with empress Chen several times, and I thought she was still a good empress," Zhuang Youyi said with tears in her eyes. "When she left, I went to Zhaoyun hall to cry."

Jiang Jinwen glanced at her, handed her a silk handkerchief and said softly, "I don't have much impression of empress Chen, but I pity the newborn prince. I haven't had a mother for so long."

Zhuang Youyi sniffed and nodded approvingly, "I'm also thinking about this, but the little prince is now in Zhongcui palace. Does the emperor want to give it to you?"

Jiang Jinwen was surprised and quickly waved her hand, "I'm just a Jieyu. No matter what the child of imperial concubine Chen said, I'll give it to the imperial concubine or the German imperial concubine."

"The imperial concubine knew at first glance that she would not raise children," Zhuang Youyi turned her eyes, "but Princess de already has a pair of children. The emperor can't give her this one again."

Jiang Jinwen lowered her eyes and whispered, "the emperor won't give it to me. He should directly ignore me. I'm completely discouraged after not coming for so long."

Zhuang Youyi looked at the sad smile on her lips and couldn't help comforting her: "don't worry, it's so early..."

"It's still early," said Jiang Jinwen, hooking up her lips and smelling bursts of sighs. "He doesn't take me in his eyes. It seems that I'm going to be a white headed concubine."

Zhuang Youyi hesitated and said, "why don't you talk to Prince Chun."

Jiang Jinwen was stunned and looked straight at her, "what do I do when Prince Chun and I say this?"

Zhuang Youyi just said something casually. Unexpectedly, it was a slip of the tongue. She quickly explained: "I just heard Prince Chun say he wanted to help you, so I said this sentence. I know you have nothing to do with him. Just take me as a slip of the tongue."

"He can help me," sneered Jiang Jinwen, with sadness in her eyes. "How can he help me? Can he help the emperor and me round the house? It's a joke."
