As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell silent.

Queen Gu had a gloomy face and her eyes swept over Concubine Rou and Shen Guidi, and finally looked past them and behind them.

Where did Nanny Tong die?

How come this bitch met Princess Yan?

Concubine Rou looked at Queen Gu with a half-smile, and casually pulled Shen Guidi to sit down, then asked meaningfully: "What are you looking at, Queen? Are you...looking for someone?"

Shen Guidi glanced at Concubine Rou with a smile on her face, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

She is not some fool who has never experienced the world.

I never believe in any kindness without reason.

Concubine Rou and she had only met once, and they could not even be considered friends.

But Concubine Rou not only blocked the road, she also punished the servants for her and even led the way for her openly, confronting the Queen head-on.

No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem right.

Concubine Rou was a princess who came here for marriage.

For the sake of peace and development between the two countries, her situation in the harem has always been good.

As long as it wasn't excessive, Emperor Zhaoyuan was happy to give her respect. What's more, she was extremely beautiful and had given birth to adult princes and princesses. In the harem, she was not the most favored, but she was the type that had always been favored.

She has always lived a comfortable life and her position in the harem is unshakable. Even the queen has to be considerate of her. She doesn't need to please others at all.

But there is no reason to offend others, right?

Then why should she help herself?

Shen Guidi couldn't figure it out, so she just said nothing.

She pretended to be docile, lowered her brows, and sat in her seat.

Shen Guidi didn't want to get involved in the witty exchange between Concubine Rou and the Queen. What concerned her more was the gaze not far from her, which had been following her since she entered the palace.

Although the gaze was not hostile, it made her feel very uncomfortable.

Shen Guidi pursed her lips.

She pretended to glance at everyone casually.

Suddenly.

Her eyes met with Song, the second wife of Liu Zhongshu's illegitimate son.

Madam Liu's pupils trembled violently.

She opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but when she thought of her current situation, she closed her mouth silently.

Shen Guidi turned his eyes away calmly.

The way he looked at her was as if he was looking at a stranger.

A hint of loss flashed across Madam Liu's eyes, and her expression was gloomy and unclear. No one knew how she felt after confirming Shen Guidi's identity. No one knew how much willpower she had to use to stop herself from being content at this moment.

now.

The quarrel between Empress Gu and Concubine Rou is not over yet.

Seeing that Queen Gu did not answer her question, she simply raised her hand and shouted outside: "Bring the person in."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came in from outside and brought in Nanny Tong, who was tied up tightly.

Queen Gu's face was tense: "Concubine Rou, what are you doing?"

"Your Majesty, please allow me to report that this Madam Tong has been insane for the past two days. She went to the Prince of Yan's Mansion in your name and gave Princess Yan a lecture. After Princess Yan entered the palace, she deliberately led her to the back door of the East Side Courtyard of your palace, saying that the Fairy Water Bridge on the main road leading to your palace was broken and could not be passed through. The servants were still repairing it, so they could only arrange for Princess Yan to enter and exit from the back door of the East Side Courtyard."

Concubine Rou's voice was gentle, but the words she said immediately caused an uproar.

Everyone looked at each other.

No one expected that this would be the development direction.

Nanny Tong was an old nanny in the Queen's palace who trained the palace maids.

Even though the Queen felt that the Princess of Yan did not understand the rules of the capital or the rules of palace banquets, there was no reason for her to ask a nanny who trained servants to teach the Princess of Yan the rules.

Not to mention, he even made up a reason to lead people to that back door.

The way they looked at the queen changed.

Queen Gu was proud and arrogant. After suffering some hardships in her early years, she didn't learn anything else, but she did a great job in being "obedient".

The reason why she was able to sit firmly in the position of the mistress of the harem during these years was, firstly, that Emperor Zhaoyuan found it troublesome, and secondly, the old maid around her gave her advice and restrained her, so that she did not do anything irreparable.

Who knew that I would do such a stupid thing today?

Were the maids around her confused, or was she unable to bear it any longer and hid behind a maid and started to cause trouble on her own?

Queen Gu pursed her lips.

She stared at Nanny Tong with a dark and unclear look in her eyes.

Nanny Tong shuddered suddenly. She struggled hard, trying to push open the balled handkerchief stuffed in her mouth, making a "mmmmm" sound from her mouth.

Queen Gu looked gloomy.

Nanny Chen beside her quietly touched her back.

Queen Gu shuddered, and immediately came back to her senses from her gloomy mood: "Really? Madam Tong's madness has recurred in the past few days?"

"You have to watch me, that is. Otherwise, who would dare to do this? Queen, don't you think it's funny? How is this possible? Let's not talk about whether the bridge is broken or not. There is no reason in this palace to ask Princess Yan to go through the back door of the side courtyard of the East Palace. If the bridge is really broken and she can't come, then how did the sisters and ladies get here? It can't be that they all went through the back door of the side courtyard of the East Palace, right?"

Everyone's expression changed, as if they had not expected that Concubine Rou would bring the topic up to them.

"What are you saying, Concubine Rou? We have behaved properly and came in through the main entrance." Someone glanced at the queen stealthily, and only explained briefly after making sure that she would not do anything.

Another lady covered her lips and chuckled: "Yes, we all came in through the main entrance."

"How could a bridge be broken? I just came over the Fairy Water Bridge. It can't have just collapsed, right? It's really unfortunate that Princess Yan is here!"

"That's right."

"The Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet is not something that can be prepared overnight. This bridge is broken early and late. Could it be that this bridge is not compatible with Princess Yan's birthday? Is the bridge a spirit that is deliberately making things difficult for Princess Yan?"

"If you ask me, the palace banquet has been prepared for a long time, and such an accident happened at this time. It is really unreasonable. Your Majesty, why don't you investigate it carefully to find out what happened?"

These concubines and ladies were talking to each other.

Every word was filled with sarcasm.

The so-called bridge collapse was just a scam used to deceive Princess Yan, who was unfamiliar with the imperial palace.

Queen Gu never imagined that not only would Concubine Rou sabotage her, but there were so many people who dared to agree with Concubine Rou, with every word filled with doubt and ridicule?

I'm just... tired of living.

But now that the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, it is not appropriate to see blood, and the palace banquet is about to begin. If there is anything to say, she can only hold it in for now.

For a long time.

Queen Gu calmed down, suppressed the twisted anger in her eyes, and explained word by word: "Everyone, please be patient. This matter must be said by that crazy slave. Princess Yan is my daughter-in-law and saved the life of Prince Yan. I pamper her so much that I can't wait to do such a stupid thing. Someone must have taken the opportunity to sow discord between us. Princess Yan, what do you say, is it true or not?"
