The charming empress is too good at fishing, and the ruthless emperor has fallen

Lu Zan issued an imperial edict, and the twelve palaces in the east and west of the harem were suddenly filled with people.

In the entire harem, except for Kunning Palace, only one concubine lived in Yicui Palace, Xianfu Palace and Yanxi Palace, while the other palaces all had two concubines.

Jingshu in Yicui Palace is now pregnant with a child, Concubine Ning in Xianfu Palace has a eldest princess, and the second prince born to Concubine Zhao in Yanxi Palace is now half a year old. The eldest prince is personally looked after by the people in front of the emperor.

Lu Zan's arrangement was naturally to protect his heir who was too weak.

The eldest prince had been in poor health since he was a child and was frail and sickly.

The second prince was planned by Concubine Xie to give birth prematurely and was quite weak, but now he was carefully raised by Concubine Zhao.

Lu Zan's heirs were too few, so both the former dynasty and the harem were naturally concerned about this. After all, it was related to the country, the country, and the country.

The previous batch of beautiful ladies had not yet been canonized, so Lu Zan stayed in Yicui Palace day and night.

Now that the beautiful ladies have been canonized and placed in various palaces, on this day, the eyes of the entire harem were fixed on the emperor again.

The new people are looking forward to it but nervous, and the old people are looking forward to it and curious, wondering whose sign Lu Zan will play tonight.

However, no matter who it is, they can’t go to Yicui Palace, right?

According to the Taiyuan Hospital, the fetus in Concubine Chen's belly is almost eight months old, and she cannot serve the Holy Emperor. The Holy Emperor has not favored other concubines since the death of Empress Yuan, so why should she turn over tonight?

Jing Shu was also a little curious about where Lu Zan would go tonight.

In the evening, news finally came from the imperial court.

Tonight the Chengguang Hall lights up.

"Chengguang Hall is the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, and it houses Zhang Concubine, who has the highest ranking in this draft." As soon as the news came to Yicui Palace, Xiu Qing immediately frowned and said, "This slave has met Zhang Concubine once. , her appearance is quite charming, very similar..."

Speaking of this, Xiu Qing suddenly paused slightly, with a slightly angry expression on his face.

Jing Shu couldn't help but smile when she saw her like this.

"What does it look like?"

Even though he asked this question, he actually already guessed why Xiu Qing was suddenly angry.

Sure enough, Xiu Qing frowned and muttered unhappily: "She looks very much like the empress she used to be! In the past, when I first saw her, I felt something was wrong. Now when I think about it more carefully, Every move she makes is clearly understood!"

"Oh? Really? Like what I used to look like before?" Jing Shu slightly supported her chin with one hand, a flash of interest in her eyes.

"Yes! She did it on purpose! Knowing that the empress was favored in the palace before, she deliberately imitated the empress and wanted to please the Holy Emperor and compete with the empress for favor!" Xiu Qing said angrily.

"You're right, I also think she did it on purpose." Jing Shu continued.

I don’t know how many details of the Restoration Society were mixed into this group of show girls.

Zhang Bin has the highest status among them. Her father is also the governor of water transportation. He is stationed in Huai'an City in the south of the Yangtze River. Not only is he in charge of canal and water transportation affairs, he also serves as the governor of seven state capitals at the same time, which is an important status.

In addition to Zhang Pin, Ji Liangdi and Ming Guiren also came from the Jiangnan area.

Lu Zan had told her before that on the road to the Guangfu Meeting, many drivers of beautiful women coming to Beijing were robbed, including those from Jiangnan.

In other words, the identities of Zhang Bin, Ji Liangdi, and Ming Guiren are all very suspicious.

Their father was out of town, so it was difficult to identify him directly. The most important thing was that Lu Zan wanted to use them to lure out Xiao Ye who was hiding behind his back.

In order to compete for favor, the concubines imitated the former Jingshu in an attempt to win Lu Zan's favor. This is normal.

But Xiao Ye can be said to know Jing Shu very well.

If he intended to train these craftsmen to imitate Jing Shu and seduce Lu Zan, then the suspicion of this concubine would be high.

"Xiu Qing, I suddenly have a question for you." Jing Shu was thinking about this, his eyes fell on Xiu Qing, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Excuse me, your Majesty, I must tell you everything you know!" Xiu Qing said quickly.

"When I faked my death and left the palace, you didn't ask why. When I came back, my appearance changed. You didn't ask why. Didn't you ever doubt my identity at all?" Jing Shu held her chin with one hand and looked at it. she asked.

"This is not the first time that your Majesty has changed like this. Is it necessary for me to ask?" Upon hearing this, Xiu Qing immediately said with a blank look in his eyes, "My duty is to take good care of your Majesty. Do I need to know anything else?"

"Isn't this the first time you've changed?" Jing Shu frowned slightly, "Have I changed before?"

"It has changed!" Xiu Qing nodded affirmatively, "The empress changed once when she was thirteen years old. After she married into the East Palace, she changed a lot more, but the empress is still the empress."

Jing Shu was so confused by her answer that she didn't know what to say.

Although she knew that Xiu Qing's brain was a bit weak before, but now, she felt that it was really weak.

If you are missing a root, you will accept death.

Xiu Qing has determined that the person she serves has always been her master in her heart, so no matter how this person changes, he will always be her master.

Jingshu couldn't tell whether this was good or bad.

It would probably be bad if Jing Wei were Xiu Qing's master.

But it's good that Xiu Qing's master is her, because she will always remember Xiu Qing's kindness, and she will treat such a silly and loyal girl who only knows how to accept death.

Unknowingly, Jing Shu quietly praised herself.

She is really a kind-hearted and good mistress!

"Will your Majesty feel disappointed if Your Majesty doesn't come tonight? After all, these days, he comes to rest with your Majesty every day." At this time, Xiu Qing suddenly asked cautiously.

"No." Jingshu said without thinking.

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that the Holy Emperor's favor will be taken away by other women?" Xiu Qing tilted his head slightly upon hearing this, looking puzzled.

"Xiu Qing, you have to remember that the love that can be taken away will be taken away sooner or later. There is no need to have any special expectations about this. Everything depends on man-made efforts." Jing Shu said, winking at her.

"What you said makes sense." Xiu Qing nodded as if he understood.

Lu Zan won't come tonight, so Jing Shu will be happy to be quiet.

The weather is hot now, and although there is ice in the hall that is constantly exuding air-conditioning, it is still a bit stuffy after all.

Jingshu simply took a round fan and went outside the hall to enjoy the cool air.

In the courtyard of Yicui Palace, Lu Zan had already ordered someone to build a terrace. The terrace was surrounded by green plants. He could rest on it at night and enjoy the cool breeze.

Xiu Qing and Liu'er went up to arrange the arrangements in advance.

Xiaocui supported Jingshu, and Zitang held an ice bowl beside her. In it were a few ice grapes and two small pieces of ice watermelon that had just been taken out of the ice bin.

It was dark at night, but there were lights on the terrace, which was quite bright.

Jingshu stepped on the stone slab in the yard and was about to step onto the terrace when she suddenly stepped on a round bump and her feet slipped immediately!
