"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you have forgotten the etiquette and rules in the palace, and how dare you be rude to the Queen!" Aunt Qing next to the Queen said sternly.
"How presumptuous! When I talk to the Queen, when will it be your turn to choke!"
The queen straightened her clothes and glanced at her sideways, "Concubine Yu, the prince's injury has not yet been determined. It would be wrong to be careful, and you will be blamed for it."
Concubine Yu retorted, "Queen, are you so angry that you want to implicate innocent people? If that's the case, I won't bother my sister here. The emperor is still waiting in Kunhua Palace, so I will leave first."
.”
Without waiting for the queen to say anything, Concubine Yu finished speaking in a sinister tone, covered her lips with a smile, and left with the palace guests.
The imperial doctors returned to the inner hall of the prince's palace. Only the queen and the maids around her were left in the main hall.
The queen's nails penetrated into her palms, and there were blood stains without even realizing it. The smile on her face was still upright and not inappropriate at all.
Chun Yin, the maid in charge beside her, said angrily, "Your Majesty, this noble concubine is getting more and more presumptuous because of the Emperor's favor."
"Oh, in this harem, there are always flowers that last a hundred days. If you want to be favored by the Sixth Palace, don't you have to rely on your beautiful face to keep your favor? Her character is arrogant and domineering, and she will only become a thorn in the hearts of others. Everywhere.
Relying on family background, you will not learn to win over people's hearts and be kind to people on the surface like others, but will instead make countless enemies for yourself. If one day you encounter a disaster, others, even if they don't add insult to injury, will stand idly by and let it fend for itself."
The queen stared forward with cold eyes, playing with the golden armor in her hand, her tone was faint but meaningful.
Aunt Qing agreed, "What the empress said is absolutely true, but even so, Concubine Yu's arrogance is on the surface. Compared with some people who are always good at persuading people, she is usually pleasant-looking, but if she gets ruthless,
That makes people hard to guard against."
"It's always been like this in the harem, fighting openly and secretly, competing for family status, competing for position, competing for seniority, and plotting to win favor." The queen's tone was profound, and the corners of her lips slightly raised, "Let's go and see the prince."
"Yes, empress."
The queen stood up from her seat and straightened her clothes. Chunyin stepped forward to hold her hand, and the group headed towards the inner hall.
...
After Concubine Yu left the main hall, she walked directly towards the vermilion door of the East Palace. As she walked, the beads and jade pendants around her waist collided, making a clanking sound.
Seeing the people in the East Palace being tortured in the courtyard, with endless wailing and screaming, she pulled her hair around her ears, smiled sideways, and said with her red lips, "The emperor will be merciful only when he is kind. I hope you will wait for a long time."
Lesson learned, be more thoughtful in the future."
After saying that, she deliberately walked past Zhi Lan. Zhi Lan, who was leaning against the board, dropped his hands. Concubine Yu pretended to step on her accidentally and even crushed her twice.
"Ah! Zhilan, I'm so sorry." Concubine Yu raised her hand and yawned lightly, smiling, "Everyone, take care, I'm tired, so I'll go back and rest first."
With their fingers linked to their hearts, Zhi Lan endured the pain, her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she gritted her teeth as she watched Concubine Yu leaving in a grand manner.
...
In the inner hall of the East Palace, the fragrance of medicine filled the air, and the imperial doctors and palace officials stood guard in front of the prince's bed to meet emergencies.
The queen entered and looked at Shang Yuchen lying there with a pale face, her eyes couldn't help but get wet.
Letting go of Chun Yin's hand, she quickly walked to the bedside, stroking the prince's cheek with trembling hands, and two lines of clear tears fell down her face, "Chen'er."
