"If Concubine De really likes you, it proves that she has some discernment. In short, you should try to stay away from Concubine De in the future." Shen Manyun confessed uneasily.
"What sister said is, sister, don't worry. It's windy here, let's go back." An Rong changed the subject.
After she returned to Hanyunxuan, she still felt uneasy no matter how much she thought about it, so she went to find out who was visiting the Royal Garden today. There might be some clues.
After all, Zhao Ling had never noticed her before today.
Zhitao quickly found out the results and returned to Hanyunxuan to report the situation to An Rong.
"Concubine De and the Queen Mother chatted for a while before?" An Rong was a little surprised.
Could it be that Mu Ci said something in front of Zhao Ling that made Zhao Ling suddenly become interested in her?
Thinking of this possibility, her heart sank slightly.
"My servant has checked and found out that Concubine De did meet the Queen Mother in the Imperial Garden. As for what they talked about, no one knows." Zhidao was silent and then asked: "It can't be that Concubine De told Concubine De in the Imperial Garden." The master is targeted by Concubine De because he speaks ill of him, right?"
Speaking of which, she was a benefactor in Na Yingchun, and the Queen Mother once said that she would repay this kindness one day. In this case, how could the Queen Mother deliberately hinder her master.
Furthermore, the master did nothing to anger the Queen Mother.
"If I am really targeted by Concubine De, I will have to keep my tail between my legs in the future." An Rong quickly made a decision: "In the past half month, I will not leave Hanyunxuan. Even if Sister Shen is looking for... "
She paused and said: "That's not right. Concubine De is a scheming person. If I deliberately hide it, it will make her worry. You can continue to do whatever you need to do in the future, no need to worry."
But with her appearance like this, how could Zhao Ling keep an eye on her? Isn't this strange?
The only explanation is that Mu Ci mentioned her to Zhao Ling.
From this day on, Zhao Ling began to pay attention to An Rong's movements. However, An Rong was the same person as usual, there was no difference.
It's just that as time goes by, one can see whether An Rong is a dragon or an insect.
Let’s talk about Xihua Palace.
Zheng Cairen has been keeping a low profile since she was pregnant. She rarely leaves the East Side Palace for fear of meeting the empress Shu who is in charge.
At this critical moment, many people were staring at the baby in her belly.
It's a pity that when people sit in the house, disaster still comes from the sky.
Concubine Shu's main palace was suddenly stolen, and the entire Xihua Palace had to be searched, and the East Side Palace was certainly no exception.
Zheng Cairen was panicking as he watched the people pouring into the main hall.
Of course it wasn't because she stole the lost items, she was afraid that Mu Xue had bribed the palace servants of the East Wing Hall and hid the dirty things in the East Wing Hall. If this was the case, even if she had a thousand mouths, she couldn't tell the truth.
Her intuition told her that this was Concubine Shu's conspiracy, because Concubine Shu did not allow her to give birth to the emperor's heir.
Zheng Cairen was frightened, but she had no choice but to do anything. Unless there was an edict from the emperor, she could not stop Concubine Shu from searching the palace.
By the way, the person in charge of the harem is Concubine De. Perhaps Concubine De will not allow Concubine Shu to search the palace easily.
"Wait a minute!" Zheng Cairen shouted.
The people who were about to search the palace heard the sound and looked towards Zheng Cairen. The leader was Lan Xin.
"No one is allowed to search the palace without the emperor's order!" Zheng Cairen said coldly: "The person in charge of the harem now is Concubine De. If you get permission from Concubine De, you can search the palace!"
Lan Xin responded with a sneer: "Among the four concubines, Concubine Shu is higher than Concubine De..."
"But it is Concubine De who is in charge of the harem. Whatever happens in the harem, Concubine De should be in charge of it. For both emotional and rational reasons, Concubine De should be in charge of the matter. If Concubine De is saying that she wants to search the palace, then I have nothing to say.
You can tell." Zheng Cairen interrupted Lan Xin.
She actually didn't know what was going on.
But now that she really had to search the palace and find the missing things in the east side hall, she would be completely finished.
Lan Xin sneered. She was just about to let others start searching for dirty things when Zheng Cairen suddenly said: "It is the emperor's decree that Concubine De is in charge of the affairs of the harem. Or do you think you can even ignore the emperor's decree?"
"
Zheng Cairen's words finally frightened Lan Xin.
Disobeying the imperial edict is a serious crime of beheading. If the emperor is held accountable and wants to chop off her head, what should we do?
Thinking of this, she decided to go to the ward to meet the concubines.
I believe that Concubine De is not ignorant and dares to take care of the household affairs of Xihua Palace.
Wushou Palace had just received the news that the head of Xihua Palace had lost a piece of valuable jewelry. Lan Xin came to Wushou Palace and asked for orders to search Xihua Palace.
Lan Xin couldn't wait for Zhao Ling's answer for a long time, and she was a little anxious: "I would also like to ask Concubine De to order a search of Xihua Palace!"
Concubine De should know that she should not interfere in this matter, and those who are sensible should turn a blind eye.
"This is such a serious matter, please allow me to think about it again." Zhao Ling gave up and continued to ponder.
Lan Xin waited for another two quarters of an hour.
She probably knew that Concubine De was deliberately making things difficult for her, and it seemed that the situation was not good.
The longer this matter drags on, the worse it will be. She can no longer delay it. Thinking of this, she added: "The wells of Concubine De and Xihua Palace are not in conflict with the river. I hope that Concubine De will do it conveniently, otherwise Concubine Shu...
"
Zhao Ling should understand what she didn't finish.
Concubine Shu is now favored at noon, and she has a little emperor's heir in her belly. Concubine Shu can be promoted to a higher status before giving birth to an emperor's heir. No woman has ever been able to obtain such an honor and favor.
If the virtuous concubine is sensible, she should not stand in the way of the concubine Shu.
When Zhao Ling heard this, he was not angry but smiled: "What you said makes some sense. However, I still said the same thing. The search for the palace is a big matter, and Zheng Cai is also pregnant with a dragon heir. Apart from other things, if you collide with Zheng Cai
No one can bear the responsibility for affecting the dragon heir in her womb."
Lan Xin's face changed slightly and she became anxious: "Empress De Fei——"
"I have decided to let the Emperor decide this matter!" Zhao Ling interrupted Lan Xin.
How dare a little minion threaten her?
She's not even afraid of Mu Ci, so she's afraid of the one from Xihua Palace? It's a joke!
Lan Xin returned without success and hurried back to Xihua Palace to report the matter to her master.
"Ms. Zhao, this bitch, she wants to ruin my good deeds. It's so good that if she didn't come to provoke me, I wouldn't have attacked her. Since she is so ignorant of promotion, from now on, I will be without her!"
Mu Xue clenched her fists.
Originally, she thought that Zheng Cairen could be punished easily this time, but Zhao Ling suddenly interfered and the emperor also received news, making the matter difficult to handle.
As long as the emperor allows her to search the palace, she can naturally convince the emperor that the ornament was stolen by Zheng Cairen.
She was afraid that the emperor would not allow her to search the palace, so the matter would end badly.
What she planned came to nothing.
It's just that Zheng Cairen, that bitch, can't be dealt with today, but she will have a chance in the future!
Zhao Ling went to Yanfu Palace to report the matter. After hearing this, Dugu Liancheng seemed a little interested: "Is there such a thing?"
