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

Concubine Ning's eyes flashed when she heard the punishment of being grounded for two months.

Two months later, Zhao Concubine's baby Dragon Si had passed the most dangerous period of the first three months.

Your Majesty, this is not a punishment at all, it is clearly a protection.

The other concubines also had unnatural expressions on their faces when they thought of this.

Zhao Bin was so angry that her face turned pale!

She said something wrong in front of the Holy Emperor that day, and the Holy Emperor directly demoted her from the position of Zhaoyi to Liangdi, and also took away her position as the head of the First Palace!

But today, the bitch Jing Shu contradicted him like that, and he didn't even want to lay a finger on her. Instead, he just punished her to copy two books? Two months grounded?

What is this penalty? Is it too light? It's obvious that this bitch was punished according to her wishes!

Isn't this really biased?

Zhao Bin was so angry that she couldn't breathe evenly, but she didn't dare to say a word of doubt.

Not to mention the concubines, even Jing Shu herself was quite surprised.

Having seen Lu Zan's many cruel and ruthless methods, she thought that her life would definitely be in danger this time. Unexpectedly, he looked scary, but he just handled her with such care and did not chop off her head. , and did not demote her status...

"Yes, I obey the order."

Jingshu stopped as soon as she saw the good news, glanced at the ugly faces of the other concubines around her, and quickly bowed and left.

"Concubine Zhao's fetus is unstable and she needs to have a safe pregnancy. Why not let the emperor accompany her back to Yanxi Palace. There will be no need to come to Kunning Palace to pay her respects in the past two months."

At this time, the queen spoke and looked at Lu Zan.

When Lu Zan heard this, he just nodded and didn't say anything. He seemed a little absent-minded.

"Thank you, Queen, for letting the Queen worry about my concubines."

The queen's words played into Zhao Concubine's heart.

Among the high-ranking concubines in the harem, only the empress has no children. She was really afraid that if she came to Kunning Palace every day to pay her respects, the empress would secretly attack her, so she quickly bowed obediently and thanked her, and then took the initiative to hold Lu Zan's arm. The bird walked away happily.

As soon as the two left, a concubine looked at the queen with dissatisfaction and said.

"Mother, is your Majesty too partial today? What a noble person you are, Your Majesty. Jingshu is so rude and arrogant, yet your Majesty punishes him so lightly!"

"That's right, my dear, if the emperor is so partial, won't it make that concubine even more arrogant and arrogant in the future?"

The concubines said angrily.

The queen didn't say anything, took a sip of tea slowly, then put down the teacup in her hand and said in a calm tone:

"Have you forgotten that Concubine Jing once saved the Holy Emperor's life?"

With one sentence, those dissatisfied voices were immediately silenced.

"In the past, when the Holy One was in danger and Concubine Jing risked her own life to block His Majesty's sword, where were you people? Today, she just contradicted His Majesty with a few words. Compared to this life-saving grace, what is it? You have a lot of opinions here. Da, do you want to force the Holy One to severely punish the concubine and become an ungrateful person?"

It has to be said that the Queen knows Lu Zan well enough.

Although she didn't know why Lu Zan refused to touch Jing Shu when he was in the East Palace, and why he refused to give Jing Shu a high position after he ascended the throne, she knew that Lu Zan was thinking of this life-saving kindness.

At this time, no one among the concubines dared to say anything.

"Okay, I'm exhausted, please step aside." The queen glanced at their still unwilling faces one by one, and waved her hand tiredly.

"Yes, the concubine is retiring."

All the concubines retreated, and naturally there was not much discussion about today's events along the way.

The queen was supported by the palace maid back to the inner hall.

Xiang Mo looked at her face, couldn't help it, and still said with a somewhat uneasy expression: "Mother, even though I have the kindness to save my life, the Holy Lord's treatment today is indeed a bit biased.

"In the past, Zhang Zhaoyi also had a life-saving grace for the Holy One, but if she angered the Holy One, wouldn't the Holy One kill her anyway?

"The Holy One is reluctant to punish Jing Shu. Is it because of this life-saving kindness or because of personal love?

"Mother, do you really not care?"

She finished her words.

The queen raised her hand and knocked over a cup of cold tea on the table: "How presumptuous!"

Xiangmo immediately knelt on the ground, with a stubborn look on his face:

"Your Majesty, please calm down! But all these servants are thinking about your Majesty! Now Concubine Xie is about to take the eldest prince back to the palace. Concubine Ning is raising the eldest princess and is confident in whatever she does. However, the empress is still childless and spends every day working for the Holy Lord. The other women were walking on thin ice, fearing that if they did something wrong and made the Holy Emperor dissatisfied, they would lose their position and fall into the hands of the covetous Concubine Xie...

"Empress, please think more about yourself!"

As she spoke, she bowed her head to the ground, tears already covering her face.

The queen knew that she was loyal and could not bear to punish her.

"I understand what you mean, but you don't understand Your Majesty well enough. Since Concubine Xie already has a eldest prince, Your Majesty will never allow her to rise to a higher position. This is His Majesty's way of checking and balancing."

The Queen sat there slowly, her expression as calm as a Bodhisattva without sorrow or joy, "As for the concubine, I will not be able to see the Holy One for two months. During this period, Concubine Xie will return to the palace, and then there will be the draft.

"When she is released from the ban, the harem will be full of newcomers. Whether the Holy One can remember her will all depend on her ability."

The queen said, raising her hand to stroke the golden phoenix crown on her head, which symbolized the noble status of one person above ten thousand people.

Thinking of something, a sarcastic sneer suddenly appeared on her lips: "I am the queen, if you want something, why do you have to do it yourself?

"If she has the ability, let her level the mountain like Concubine Xie. I will wait and see whether she dies or Concubine Xie falls.

"After all, as long as I remain the queen..."

After Jingshu was imprisoned, she ate, drank, slept, and read storybooks every day. Her days were boring but uneventful.

In the first two days, the people in the imperial kitchen were deliberately neglectful, and the meals they delivered were cold and hard to eat.

However, starting from the third day, it returned to its original state.

Jing Shu didn't need to ask anyone to inquire, but he knew that Lu Zan must have spoken.

Seeing her doing nothing every day, Xiu Qingyan couldn't help but become anxious again:

"Your Majesty, your Majesty must still be thinking of you. The two-month confinement is to protect your Majesty. During this period, it is impossible for Concubine Zhao to embarrass your Majesty with the dragon heir in her belly. However, watching the Mid-Autumn Festival The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace will hold the first general election since the Holy Emperor ascended the throne. I heard that the beautiful ladies have already entered the palace one after another.

"My dear, are you really not worried at all?"

Anxious?

Jingshu took the storybook and lazily sat on the couch, distracted for a moment.

Should she be anxious?

After being punished by Lu Zan, the slaves in the imperial kitchen started to make things difficult for her again.

But Lu Zan asked someone to send a message, and her meals became better again.

With or without Lu Zan's favor, there was such a huge difference.

"How many days are left until the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Jingshu asked after a while, her eyes moving.

"There are less than six days left." Xiu Qing replied.

Jing Shu lowered her beautiful eyes, and a trace of thought appeared on her pretty face.

After a while, she finally got up from the couch she had been lying on for three days: "Go and prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones. In addition, ask Chen Xiao to prepare a set of eunuch's clothes for me."
