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

After Jingshu's actions, not to mention how the other palaces talked about her, at the very least, the servants in Yicui Palace became more attentive to their work, and they were in awe of her from the bottom of their hearts.

She didn't really regard the matter as settled.

After being in the palace for so long, it can be said that among Lu Zan's concubines, the one she had the most contact with, apart from Concubine Xie and Concubine Ning, was Rong Shunyi.

Rong Shunyi is definitely not the kind of person who clings to others.

But this time, she actually did something for Concubine Chen. There must be a reason.

Jing Shu, this is not all speculation.

She heard Rong Shunyi's voice last night and knew that Rong Shunyi did not harm her out of her own heart, but was coerced into doing so.

This was one of the reasons why she remained calm last night and did not expose Rong Shunyi in front of Lu Zan.

Rong Shunyi took action to harm her, but the real mastermind hiding behind the scenes was Concubine Chen.

She didn't want to go all out to deal with Rong Shunyi, so she asked Concubine Chen to hide aside and watch the fun without having anything to do with her.

Jingshu naturally remembered yesterday's grudge.

Concubine Chen, she will not let it go.

However, to deal with a cunning old fox like Concubine Chen, who has Shangshu Mansion and Prince Ping Nan as her backer, she must act steadily, step by step, and she will never make a move unless she is sure to hit with one hit.

On that day, after learning that Rong Shunyi had withdrawn her green badge and thanked guests behind closed doors, Jingshu understood that Rong Shunyi would not help Concubine Chen anymore in the future.

"Xiu Qing, please find a way to inquire quietly these days to see if any major events have happened in the palace during my absence, especially related to Rong Shunyi."

She ordered here and took out the token for leaving the palace that Lu Zan gave her before returning to the palace, "Zitang, please leave the palace and find out what was originally discussed before Rong Shunyi entered the palace. Regarding family matters, see if the family is in any trouble, and if so, help solve it."

"My slave obeys the order." Xiu Qing and Zi Tang responded in unison.

Afterwards, the two went to do their own things.

The news about Rong Shunyi naturally spread throughout the harem very quickly.

If you are smart, you can understand that what happened in Yicui Palace last night is inseparable from Rong Shunyi, but I can't understand why Concubine Chen knew it was her, but didn't deal with her, but just interrupted the two of them. A slave's legs.

Those who are not smart will not be able to understand anything. They will only feel that this noble concubine Chen is too barbaric and is embarrassing the concubines in the harem for nothing. It is really difficult to get along with her.

At night, the main hall of Zhaochun Palace.

Concubine Chen was holding a needle in one hand and threading the needle on the embroidery stand. The eldest palace maid Yue Ruo next to her reported with a dissatisfied and puzzled look: "Your Majesty, I went to Hanzhang Palace, but Rong Shunyi refused to see your servant. , and never asked anyone to open the door for this slave. Madam, what does she mean?

"You have obviously promised to do things for your Majesty, but now you regret it?"

When Concubine Chen heard this, she smiled lightly.

Just listen to her say: "Concubine Chen is so good at knocking down mountains and shaking tigers.

"I used coercion and inducement, and after a lot of effort, I finally found Rong Shunyi's weakness and forced her to work for me. In the end, Concubine Chen just sent her two slaves with their legs broken, and then she I was so frightened that I shrank back like a turtle, and I didn’t even want to care about the person I loved. It’s really out of character.”

She spoke leisurely, but her words were sharp.

"How could she do this? Isn't this betrayal?" Yueruo suddenly became angry.

"Since she broke her promise, we naturally don't have to keep her promise and send a message to people outside the palace to tell them to take action. There is no need to show mercy." Concubine Chen said lightly, and the needle and thread in her hand stabbed into the embroidery frame accurately and sharply. .

"My slave obeys the order." After receiving the order, Yue Ruo immediately went out to deliver the message.

The next day.

When Concubine Chen woke up, she saw Yueruo standing in front of her bed in a panic.

"What's wrong? This expression looks like you've seen a ghost." Concubine Chen frowned and said with some displeasure.

"Mother, isn't that just seeing a ghost? What you ordered me to do last night didn't work!" Yueruo said quickly.

"What?" Concubine Chen suddenly looked surprised, "What's going on? Why didn't you succeed?"

"My servants don't know. People outside spread the word that everything was going well. A few powerful men in black appeared out of nowhere and rescued people directly! Our people are no match at all!"

After Yue Ruo finished speaking, she looked at Concubine Chen a little helplessly.

After Concubine Chen was stunned for a short time, she thought of something and suddenly smiled.

"It seems that we have really met our match this time."

She raised her hand and asked Yue Ruo to wait on her and stood up. Her tone was very casual and casual, "Well, since the death of Empress Da Yuan, this palace has been peaceful and ruthless for too long. It's time for some disturbances. In this way, we won't It’s a waste of time for me to enter the palace.”

On the other side, in Yicui Palace.

Because of her pregnancy, Jingshu was much sleepier than before.

Lu Zan didn't come last night, so she was able to have a good rest, and she woke up earlier than before today.

After finishing breakfast, taking a walk in the yard for a while, and finishing eating, I saw Zitang coming back from outside.

"Why are you back now? But what happened yesterday?" Jing Shu looked at her and couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty, we did encounter some trouble last night, but it's all resolved now." Zitang said, scanning the other palace people in the courtyard.

Jing Shu understood instantly.

She raised her hand and stroked the hairpin on her head, and said, "Is my bun a little messy? Come in and show me."

After saying that, he took Zitang into the inner hall.

"What happened?" After Jingshu sat down on the Arhat bed, he looked at Zitang again.

Zitang first presented the token for leaving the palace.

Then, she slowly said: "Yesterday, according to the order of the empress, I went out of the palace to investigate Rong Shunyi's matter, and the results have been obtained.

"Before Rong Shunyi entered the palace, she did discuss a marriage to the son of the minister of Honglu Temple, named Zhang Lingzhi.

"Later on, the marriage was obstructed by Mrs. Xie, who was still a noble concubine at the time, and she was asked to use various means to snatch it away. Rong Shunyi had no choice but to enter the palace and was canonized as a beauty by the Holy Emperor.

"But Rong Shunyi and Zhang Lingzhi were in love at that time. After that, they were forced to separate, but they couldn't let go of each other, and they had some contact secretly.

"A few days ago, Zhang Lingzhi's father suddenly fell ill and passed away. Then, Zhang Lingzhi also had his legs broken on the street. He still can't stand up. His wife is a member of the Xie clan. After Xie's collapse, , and Zhang Lingzhi had many conflicts. Now seeing the Zhang family like this, they simply left their husband and children behind, took away the family's money and ran away with their lover.

"Last night, the servants and the rest of the Jin Yiwei were guarding the Zhang family. They saw someone sneaking up at the back door of the Zhang family. He colluded with the concierge and planned to set fire to the Zhang family and kill the entire Zhang family. Fortunately, they were discovered in time and no one was alive. Let them be favored.

"The slaves arrested the person who set the fire and the concierge, and interrogated them severely all night. They only found out that it was related to the palace, but they didn't know who the master was.

"Now that the Zhang family has settled down temporarily, the Jin Yiwei and others are still guarding there, so I will come back first and report to the empress."

Jing Shu was naturally a little shocked after hearing what she said.

Thinking of the hatred in Rong Shunyi's expression and words when she mentioned Concubine Xie before, we can know how abominable what Concubine Xie did at that time was.

For her own selfish purposes, she used her position of power to ruin Rong Shunyi's happiness and Zhang Lingzhi's life.
