Chapter 270 Queen's Strategy
"Don't kneel down to me!"

Xu Guiren immediately knelt down on the ground, and as soon as she knelt, the other three concubines in the room also knelt down immediately.

Empress Sun looked at them and gave Yinshuang a glance, and soon Yinshuang told what she had just discovered.

"Mr. Xu! What else do you have to say? This is the end of the matter, and you have wasted my trust in you. How could you have teamed up with other concubines to deceive me? How can a woman with such vicious thoughts be worthy of continuing to be the emperor?" Concubine? Today I will put you in limbo! Never come out again!"

Xu Guiren's face turned pale, and he rolled his eyes upwards, as if he was about to faint.

"What am I supposed to do? Why is it so lively? Could it be that they are discussing how to celebrate the emperor's birthday?"

A woman with a plump figure walked outside the room.The skin is fair and condensed, and there seems to be thousands of autumn waters hidden in a pair of twinkling eyes.

——This person is the beloved Concubine Lan.

The queen's face darkened, but she still put on a smile and said, "Why is Concubine Lan so free to come here today?"

You know, since Concubine Lan was pregnant with the dragon heir, the Queen Mother had exempted her from all greetings. Naturally, Concubine Lan didn't have to greet the Queen. She came uninvited today, but she didn't know that she was here to join in. What a bustle.

"Look at what the queen said, although the empress dowager spared all my greetings, the queen is the master of the harem after all. Didn't Concubine Lan think that she hadn't come to pay her respects to her sister for a long time, so she hurried over to greet her sister? !"

She was called "sister" in a friendly and charming manner, with a smile in her eyes, and she seemed to be very close to the queen.

The smile on Empress Sun's face froze, she thought that Concubine Lan was really a difficult character to deal with, but she said: "It's really hard to have a heart for sister Concubine Lan."

"What did my sister say, but I didn't expect that my sister's place in the future will be so lively. I should come to greet my sister from time to time. You must know that my Lanxi Palace is very deserted. How can it compare to Here, sister, there are so many concubines talking together."

As Concubine Lan said, she seemed to realize that Xu Guiren's face was pale, and she couldn't help but asked suspiciously: "Is this Xu Guiren? Why is your face so pale? Could it be that you didn't eat breakfast?"

"Yin Shuang, tell Concubine Lan." Empress Sun said in a neutral tone, and glanced at Xu Guiren.

So Yinshuang said: "I don't know about Concubine Lan. A while ago, a newly promoted Shen Changzai was ill, and Xu Guiren and other concubines asked for an order to visit, but the next day, Xu Guiren came to meet the empress. The empress said that Shen Chang was covered with rashes all over his body, so the empress sent Shen Changzai to the Leng Palace to recuperate. Unexpectedly, this morning, the servants passed by the door of the Leng Palace by chance, but they saw that Shen Changzai was weak, but never What kind of rash has happened, this Xu Guiren is detestable, and now the empress is going to send her to the cold palace."

"There is such a thing? Xu Guiren, how dare you lie to the empress?" Concubine Lan opened her eyes wide, surprised, and turned to reprimand Xu Guiren.

Xu Guiren squeezed the handkerchief tightly, knelt down with a puff, but covered his face and wept: "I don't mean to deceive you, empress, it's because the incense that Shen Chang used in the room was too strong. It made us cry, maybe it was because our vision was blurred that we misread it!"

Yinshuang couldn't help scolding: "Bold concubine! How dare you quibble!"

"Is Xu Guiren quibbling? Why don't we first announce a palace maid who works in Shen Changzai's palace and listen to what she has to say?"

Concubine Lan said, without waiting for Empress Sun to nod, she waved her sleeves and said, "Come here, go find a court lady who used to work in Shen Chang's courtyard."

Yinshuang looked at Queen Sun with dissatisfaction. The latter had a sullen expression on her face, but she still tolerated Concubine Lan's arrogance.

Yinshuang called softly with worry on her face: "Your Majesty."

Queen Sun waved her hands but said nothing.

After a while, two father-in-laws were seen pulling a maid from outside. The maid knelt down in the middle of the hall. The first sentence was: "Slave Xiangxun has seen the Queen, and the Queen is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

Empress Sun always spoke at this time, she stared at the palace maid below and said: "Tell me about the events of that day in detail."

The maid said yes.Then he told the events of that day one by one.

"...So Xu Guiren and the other concubines left the Chaoyang Palace. When I left, I heard Xu Guiren say that the incense smoke in this room is so big that my eyes are fascinated."

After listening to the words of the palace maid, Concubine Lan nodded thoughtfully and looked at the high-ranking queen seriously: "Oh, does such a thing really happen? Sister, is this really a misunderstanding? ?”

"If it was really a misunderstanding, Xu Guiren was just blind and misunderstood, and he did not cause any big fault. Sister Queen, you have always been generous and kind, and there is no need to send Xu Guiren to the cold palace and give such a heavy punishment. Punishment?"

The queen kept her face tense and did not speak, she could not see the expression in her eyes clearly with her downcast eyes, but only Yinshuang, who was closest to her, saw the handkerchief tightly held by the queen.

"That's what Sister Lan Fei said. Since Xu Guiren has made a mistake, the punishment will not be as severe as being thrown into the cold palace."

The queen opened her mouth lightly, without any smile on her tense face: "However, Xu Guiren still lied about Shen Changzai's condition, and said that he gave Bengong such a misunderstood condition. To be punished, so as not to continue to 'read wrong' next time."

"As for the punishment, one year's month will be deducted, and the female ring will be copied three thousand times. What do you think, Sister Lan Fei?"

Concubine Lan smiled and said: "Sister Queen is indeed the most kind and generous."

Xu Guiren's face relaxed, and his heart, which had been up and down all the time, finally fell back to its original place.

The queen continued: "As for Shen Changzai, since it is just a common fever and weakness, there is no need to go to a place like Lenggong to recuperate, so let her go back to Chaoyang Palace and ask the imperial doctor to treat her properly."

Speaking of this, the empress rubbed the bridge of her nose with her hands, waved her sleeves and said, "I'm tired, so let's end this matter."

After speaking, she stood up supported by Yinshuang, walked from the seat into the lower hall, and left the hall all the way.

All the concubines and concubines in the room bowed their waists to salute: "The concubines respectfully send off the empress."

After the queen left, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

Feng Cai just reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.Turning around, he saw Xu Guiren leaning over, almost ready to fall. He couldn't help shouting: "Hurry! Help Xu Guiren!"
