This also made him feel even more guilty and distressed. It was rare that he did not harass Nie Shuangshuang during the confinement period, but instead buried his head in dealing with the assassin's affairs.

Prince Rui was indeed not the mastermind, but the people around him started to become arrogant over time, wanting to wait for the assassination to succeed and then put on the yellow robe.

Song Chuji chopped off the heads of those rebels in front of King Rui, and blood splattered seven feet.

Everyone was so frightened that their faces turned pale, and Prince Rui, who was young, peed himself directly.

So what if they are brothers? The emperor is cold-hearted. If they betray, he will kill them! For a time, everyone was in a panic, afraid that they would be the next one.

However, these things did not stop the people in the harem from continuing to throw dirty water and gossip at each other, and the news that Nie Shuangshuang was confined to Fengluan Palace was also widely spread.

The fact that the Queen Mother had fallen out of favor and was confined to the palace had not been confirmed until the imperial concubine was seen in charge of the six palaces.

After several people visited Zhongcui Palace, the rumor became true.

The concubines of Concubine Qi's faction gathered together, eating melon seeds and chatting about this new thing.

"Looking at the Empress protecting His Majesty from the attack, I thought His Majesty would be blessed by His Majesty from now on. I didn't expect His Majesty to change his personality after praying for blessings. Haha, it's funny."

"Nie Shuangshuang has been the queen for so long. She was so proud of herself a few days ago. She never looked at us sisters in the eye. I never expected such a sudden turn of events.

Now that you have lost your majesty's favor, and even the power to assist in managing the six palaces has been given to the imperial concubine, what use will you have in the future?"

"I heard that there were rumors in the previous dynasty that His Majesty wanted to depose the Queen, but he was afraid of the power behind Concubine Lan, so he might be interested in Concubine Qi!"

……

When Concubine Qi heard these words, a faint smile appeared on her lips. She was so proud of herself that she almost forgot to look in the mirror. She had never been favored before, but she still dreamed of becoming a queen every day.

Concubine Qi is proud of her beauty. Although her beauty is not as stunning as the Empress or as bright and dazzling as Lan Yinruo, it is still pretty good. His Majesty will definitely notice her.

"Sisters, be careful with your words! The Queen is the mother of the country and a role model for all women. How can I compare to her?"

Concubine Qi, who had always been arrogant and domineering, was now pretending to be humble.

"Your Majesty, don't be so modest. The Queen is in poor health and has fallen out of favor. It's unknown how long she can live."

"Ah? But I heard that His Majesty stayed in Fengluan Palace last night!"

"She's probably been making a lot of noise all night, otherwise Your Majesty could have put her under house arrest?" How stupid! Your Majesty went to Fengluan Palace to see her, but instead of coaxing her into submission, he increased the punishment.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Qi also responded: "Okay, let's go visit the queen more often when we have time. The queen is alone in the palace and has no relatives. She is usually very tolerant of us. Don't let the queen be cold to us sisters after she falls out of favor."

"Oh, sister Qi Fei is so shameless! The Empress is the empress, personally appointed by His Majesty, and what's going on between them is your turn to be a concubine who has rarely even met His Majesty?

"When you say out of favor, who else in this palace has not fallen out of favor except the Empress?"

Shu Guipin walked over with a smile on her face and mocked him mercilessly.

"you!"

When Concubine Qi saw her, she was filled with hatred. They were old rivals, but she could not argue with Concubine Shu or scold her enough.

She could only swallow her anger. What else could she do? Beat someone in public in the palace? Wouldn't she become the second queen?

At noon, His Majesty sent a eunuch to pass on the message: "My dear ladies, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. His Majesty would like to enjoy the moon with you ladies and ladies. Please prepare."

Concubine Yue smiled and said, "It's Mid-Autumn Festival again. I remember that during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, the Empress and His Majesty were in love and we sisters were envious.

After all, things are no longer the same as they used to be!"

She looked at Concubine Qi and chuckled, "The Queen is under house arrest, and the Imperial Concubine is busy with harem affairs and preparing for the banquet. Concubine Qi must dress up and stay with His Majesty!"

Concubine Qi declined politely and appeared to be nonchalant, but she was actually smiling brightly inwardly, and it was obvious that she was thinking the same thing in her heart.

Inside Zhongcui Palace

Lan Yinruo secretly mocked Yun Wei as she talked about the concubines who had been behind Nie Shuangshuang in the imperial garden.

"I don't know why those idiots were sent to the palace!

Especially that Concubine Qi, she is hopelessly stupid. After the Queen's confinement is lifted and her relationship with Your Majesty is reconciled, I will definitely expose her in front of Your Majesty! "

The reason why she is keeping still now is to wait for Nie Shuangshuang to regain the emperor's favor first. It is a matter of time for her.

Even this time of house arrest was insisted on by her own efforts, just to sleep with the emperor less often and have a few days of leisure.

But when I think of Nie Shuangshuang's poor health and how she always looks so weak and unable to take care of herself, I always feel that she seems too pitiful. It's really pitiful to see her fall down at the slightest breeze.

She would go and take a good look at her after her house arrest was lifted. She didn't know what the Fengluan Palace was like now.

Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet

All the concubines had arrived, and Song Chuji also sat on the upper side. The seat next to Song Chuji that belonged exclusively to the Queen was still empty.

The concubines were whispering in the audience, "Your Majesty, why didn't you invite the Queen Mother out? On such an important day, the Queen Mother should come out to celebrate!"

"The Queen has fallen out of favor, what's the point of coming? Isn't it just to make His Majesty upset?"

"She is said to have betrayed His Majesty. His Majesty hates her to the core and is disgusted with her to the extreme!"

"So what if she's stunningly beautiful? Isn't she just abandoned when she's tired of playing with me?"

……

Lan Yinruo felt uncomfortable when she heard these words. She glared at those concubines fiercely and prepared to teach them a lesson in private.

He turned around and said, "Your Majesty, the queen is alone in Fengluan Palace, so let her come to the palace banquet."

Song Chuji felt a headache when he heard this. It was because Nie Shuangshuang was too harsh on him that he was annoyed.

Everyone in Fengluan Palace said that the Queen was in a bad mood during her confinement. He was also very anxious and wanted to see her very anxiously.

Song Chuji said: "I have sent someone to invite them. They will be here soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nie Shuangshuang was supported by someone and walked in. Her graceful and elegant figure made people envious and jealous. The Queen's figure was truly beautiful.

Her face was extremely pale, and her thin and weak body needed the support of Hui'an beside her. There was no color on her face, and her boneless appearance was so pitiful to look at.

She even deliberately whitened her complexion and put on a little rouge to look more pure and delicate. Her every move touched Song Chuji's heart.

How come you're so weak after not seeing you for a few days?

Little did she know that she was just pretending to prevent Song Chuji from seeing her and turning into a beast and forcing her to sleep with him tonight. She would be in so much pain then!
