Concubine Shu returned to Yongqing Palace, and the palace staff hurriedly helped her apply heat to her knees.
Concubine Shu closed her eyes and rested her mind. The eunuch Zhao Liang hurried in from outside and said through the screen: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Concubine Shu hummed.
The palace maid put the blanket on her legs. Zhao Liang came in and said a few words in her ear.
Concubine Shu was startled and opened her eyes suddenly: "Really?"
"Yes," Zhao Liang bent down and said, "I have a fellow countryman who was in the imperial kitchen. Qianer went out with the eunuch in charge. I accidentally saw him... I heard that the nun insisted on kneeling down and went out of Nansuibo's house.
, and quietly wiped away tears, saying 'enemies' and so on."
Concubine Shu narrowed her eyes slightly.
It’s really unexpected!
The nanny next to the Queen Mother actually had an affair with that libertine!
But, how to use this news?
If this news is known to the emperor, then harming the dumplings and rice cakes will become a famous teacher, which is intentional.
But in this way, the blame falls on this nanny, and the Queen Mother can completely escape from it!
It shouldn't be difficult to take advantage of this news and form a temporary alliance with the Queen Mother to avoid confrontation.
But is it useful to get on the Queen Mother's ship?
This is different from what happened with Yan Shiyue. She is already a concubine, and she cannot become a concubine just by saying a few words.
As for the Eighth Prince, the Queen Mother had Jiulang Julang, so she had no need to help Eighth Prince. Besides, Eighth Prince was a man, and he needed Emperor Mingyan's nod to take action, so the Queen Mother could not intervene.
Is it possible that we can only threaten the nanny and have an internal response?
Concubine Shu was very unwilling.
But she was still unwilling to give in. The next day, when it was time to suffer, Concubine Shu couldn't help but speak out: "In the first seven o'clock in my family, I went to Nansuibo Mansion to express my condolences. I have always been devoted to the Queen Mother.
"
To the Queen Mother, this was just an ordinary word of flattery, but when Aunt Shou heard it, she couldn't help being frightened.
After a while, she whispered persuasion in the Queen Mother's ear: "Why leave this eyesore... What if we get desperate and alert the Emperor..."
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth, and instantly remembered the loyalty glasses, and said coldly: "You are serious, get up!"
Concubine Shu thanked her, and the Queen Mother said: "Go."
Aunt Shou took the initiative to send her out. The Queen Mother had great trust in the nannies and thought that she should give her a few words, so she didn't think much about it.
After leaving the palace gate, Aunt Shou suddenly stepped forward, held her arm, and said, "My Lady, Concubine Shu, please be patient!"
"Thank you so much, mama." Several palace guests calmly stepped back, and Concubine Shu said, "Mom, don't worry, whoever is young and doesn't fall in love... I won't talk too much."
Aunt Shou held her hand, but suddenly tightened it, and said coldly: "Did you kill her?"
Concubine Shu was startled.
She glanced at her in astonishment, and without caring about any other demeanor, she said anxiously: "That's absolutely not the case! Why would I do this?"
Seeing that she was looking straight at her, obviously not believing her, Concubine Shu said: "If this matter was instigated by me, I will die from a puncture in my intestines!"
Aunt Shou was stunned.
She stared at her, then slowly stepped back and said: "My queen, please go slowly, I won't send you away anymore."
Concubine Shu returned to the palace, her face full of surprise.
She never expected that the Queen Mother would misunderstand that she had killed the Crown Prince! Why was there such a misunderstanding?
Wait, who killed the prince? Why did the Queen Mother doubt her?
Concubine Shu thought deeply.
Over there, Nanny Shou returned to the palace with heavy steps.
Even Concubine Shu knew about this matter. I'm afraid it would be easy for others to find out.
They have been with the Queen Mother for decades, and she trusts them very much. But because of this, she will be extremely angry once she learns that they are hiding their bias.
In addition, if this matter gets too big, the Emperor and His Highness Fuyan will not let it go. Even the Queen Mother... may not be able to bear the consequences, so if there is a scapegoat, the Queen Mother will definitely be happy to see it.
Its made.
Aunt Shou returned to the palace. The Queen Mother was closing her eyes and being massaged by the medical lady. She didn't notice it, but everyone else saw something strange in her expression.
In the evening, after the Queen Mother went to bed, it was Aunt Xiang's turn to keep watch outside. Aunt Fu looked back and forth as usual before returning to the bedroom.
Aunt Shou should have come back earlier than her, but she was not here at this time. Aunt Fu didn't care. As usual, she asked the maid to fetch water to soak her feet. While she was soaking, she saw Aunt Shou coming back.
The two beds were separated only by a carved screen. Aunt Fu asked her, "Where have you been?"
Aunt Shou said: "I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, so I went to the clean room twice."
Aunt Fu didn't think much about it, she just hummed, and the palace maid had her head straightened, and was about to hold her up when Aunt Shou saw it, stood up and said with a smile: "Come here, I will serve you too!"
Aunt Shou came three years later than she and Aunt Xiang, but with her unique skill of combing her hair, she soon won the favor of the Queen Mother, who was still a concubine at the time, and became their equal.
Nowadays, even the Queen Mother rarely uses her to comb her hair. Aunt Fu smiled and said, "That's good. I'm an old man and I can enjoy it."
Aunt Shou smiled while pressing her head and gently pulling her hair into a bun for sleeping. She said with a smile: "I still remember when I first came here, I combed your sister Hexiang's hair every day."
"Yes!" Aunt Fu also sighed, "You were short at that time, and you couldn't reach us when we were sitting on the couch. We asked you to go up to the couch to comb your hair, but you refused."
Aunt Shou smiled and said: "I am timid and very scared. I never thought that you and Sister Xiang are both good people." She sighed: "Now that we have been together for decades, our sisters are old, and I don't even have my grandson."
I already have them. The last time I went back, I would call her grandma. It was so cute."
Aunt Fu smiled and said, "You will also enjoy happiness in the future."
Aunt Shou said, "I asked you to become my godmother a long time ago, but you refused."
Aunt Fu shook her head: "I grew up in the palace, and a hundred years after the Queen Mother, I went to follow her, so why bother with such a concern."
Aunt Shou's eyes flashed.
The two chatted for a long time. When the palace maid came to collect the basin for soaking feet, she heard Aunt Shou say: "You really shouldn't do such a stupid thing!"
The palace maid was stunned for a moment, and Aunt Shou didn't seem to expect it. After a pause, the palace maid hurriedly bowed, collected the basin, and left.
Aunt Fu was also stunned by what she said: "Where do you start talking about this?"
Aunt Shou said without changing her expression: "I said you were careless and didn't cover her feet after soaking them..." She stepped forward and covered her feet.
The next day, Aunt Shou still looked worried. Now even the Queen Mother saw it and called her: "Shou Shou, what's wrong with you?"
Aunt Shou glanced quickly at Aunt Fu.
Then she said: "No, it's nothing."
Recently, the Queen Mother couldn't bear to see such secretiveness, so she said with a stern face: "What's going on!"
Aunt Shou gritted her teeth and said, "Empress Dowager, I will tell you."
She looked at Aunt Fu and Aunt Xiang, and they all moved away. Only then did Aunt Shou step forward and speak in the ear of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother's face suddenly darkened.
She sneered and said: "Okay, okay!" (To be continued)
