An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan
Chapter 464: Praying for Mercy
Concubine Qi has made up her mind to act according to the Queen's instructions.
So, she sent her confidant, Cui Guo, to contact Fu Cha.
While waiting for Cuiguo to come back, Concubine Qi was extremely restless.
"Really? Why haven't you come back yet? Did something go wrong?"
The more anxious Concubine Qi was, the slower time seemed to pass.
At the same time, Concubine Qi inevitably recalled what happened to Concubine Hua before.
Although she did not see it with her own eyes, the Queen told her that the reason why she successfully defeated Concubine Hua that time was not only because An Lingrong came like "rain in time of need", but the more important reason was that something went wrong with Song Zhi, who was asked by Concubine Hua to go to the Imperial Hospital to invite the imperial physician.
Songzhi fainted in the Imperial Hospital, which was in a mess at the time, so they just randomly assigned an imperial physician to go to Chuxiu Palace.
According to the Queen's judgment, Concubine Hua must have arranged her own staff in the Imperial Medical Bureau before, which is why she was so impatient to ask Songzhi to invite them.
It's a pity that man proposes, God disposes. Even though Concubine Hua had made all the plans, she couldn't stop Songzhi from letting her team down halfway!
At this time, Concubine Qi watched Cuiguo not come back for a long time, and she couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts in her mind.
"Could it be that something happened to Cuiguo as well?"
The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, and Concubine Qi's face turned pale.
Just when Concubine Qi was about to send someone to inquire about the news, Cuiguo finally came back.
"Miss!"
Cuiguo looked no different from when she had just left.
She didn't know that her master was having all kinds of wild thoughts in his mind while waiting for her.
When Cuiguo returned to Changchun Palace, she immediately found Concubine Qi and prepared to report to her.
"Why did you come back just now? Don't you know that I am almost dying of anxiety waiting for you?"
Only Concubine Qi knew the pressure in her heart, and it was difficult for her to reveal it to others.
After finally seeing Cuiguo coming back, Concubine Qi first breathed a sigh of relief, but then she began to blame Cuiguo for being such a worry.
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
Cuiguo was confused by the sudden blame and quickly explained the reason why she tried to save her relationship.
"I didn't delay on purpose, but I met Aunt Jianqiu on the way back. She felt a little strange that I didn't stay in Changchun Palace to serve her, so she asked me a few questions. I didn't dare to hide anything..."
As Cuiguo said this, the innocence on her face became more and more obvious.
She came home late not because she was playing around or for any other reason, but simply because she was tripped and even seriously questioned by the other party.
Cuiguo knew the relationship between Concubine Qi and the Queen. Facing the questioning of the Queen's maid, could she still shirk it?
"Oh! It's her again!"
Concubine Qi already had a very bad impression of Jianqiu because of the other party's previous attempt to intimidate her. Now seeing that Jianqiu was actually trying to interrogate her trusted palace maid, she immediately felt that Jianqiu's ghost was still lingering around, and her hatred for Jianqiu increased.
Even so, Concubine Qi couldn't really do anything to Jianqiu, so she immediately turned her attention back to Cuiguo and asked, "Since Jianqiu was embarrassing you, how did you respond?"
"Reporting to the Majesty, I dare not hide anything, so I told Aunt Jianqiu what the Majesty wanted."
Although Cuiguo knew the relationship between Concubine Qi and the Queen, it did not mean that she dared to say it in front of them at this time.
Therefore, when answering Concubine Qi, Cuiguo's tone was much more gentle.
"Haha, you can talk."
Concubine Qi was very angry now, but she didn't want to get angry again with Cuiguo who was loyal to her. In the end, she nodded, which was regarded as her consent to Cuiguo's answer.
……
The next morning, Concubine Qi went to pay her respects to the Queen with two dark circles under her eyes.
Anyone who met Concubine Qi on the road, whether they were masters or servants, were shocked by her haggard face.
Everyone was very curious. What had happened to Concubine Qi, the queen who was usually known for being "heartless" that she became so haggard?
I was very curious, but no matter what, Concubine Qi was still a concubine.
Therefore, no one dared to ask directly.
This situation continued until the concubines from all six palaces gathered in Jingren Palace. The Queen saw Concubine Qi's expression and finally opened her mouth to ask.
"Concubine Qi, how did you do this?"
The Queen had already anticipated Concubine Qi's subsequent actions when Jianqiu came back to report to her last night.
Now, although the Queen looked concerned on the surface, she already knew in her heart what Concubine Qi would say.
"Reporting to the Queen, I have had nightmares over the past few days, which has caused me to be unable to sleep day and night, and I am mentally exhausted. I am rude in front of the Queen, please don't blame me!"
In response to the question from the Queen, Concubine Qi showed a wry smile on her face. At the same time, she stood up from her seat and expressed her apologies to the Queen.
Hearing this, the queen frowned slightly, seeming a little puzzled.
"Forget it, sit down first."
The Queen waved to Concubine Qi, motioning her to sit down first.
After Concubine Qi sat down again, the Queen asked again, "Is it because Third Prince's homework is bothering you?"
Because Concubine Qi loved her son the most, and all the concubines in the six palaces knew this very well.
The queen's usual method is to disguise herself, and she does this especially in front of the concubines in the six palaces.
If she directly asked Concubine Qi whether she was worried about Fucha, it would seem that she had known about this for a long time. This motive was undoubtedly too obvious, which the Queen would naturally not accept.
"Thank you for your concern, Queen. The Third Prince has made great progress in his studies recently, and even the Emperor has praised him a lot."
Concubine Qi didn't expect the Queen to ask this suddenly, and she didn't react at first.
But as a mother, she didn't want her son to lose face in front of the concubines in the harem, so Concubine Qi didn't think too much about it and directly told her son that the emperor praised her.
Concubine Qi's unconventional behavior undoubtedly disrupted the Queen's original plan, making her immediately unhappy.
"Oh? That's really good!"
The Queen would definitely not express her thoughts directly. Instead, she said to Concubine Qi with a look of relief: "You are always concerned about the Third Prince, and the Third Prince has never let you down. I am happy for you and your son when I see this!"
"Thank you, ma'am."
Although the Queen said congratulations, Concubine Qi realized that the Queen was looking at her with cold eyes.
It was not until this time that Concubine Qi finally realized that the Queen seemed unhappy again!
Realizing this, Concubine Qi immediately showed a bitter expression again.
"To be honest, Your Majesty, I have actually been troubled by another matter for a long time."
Under the Queen's warning look, Concubine Qi finally did not let her down this time. Instead, she did as she wished and expressed her concerns about Fucha.
It was not until this time that many curious concubines understood why the queen looked so worried.
But then again, what Fucha did to Concubine Yun at that time was simply outrageous!
Even though the person involved, Concubine Yun, is not present now, isn't it a bit too hypocritical for Concubine Qi to make such a request so openly, hoping that the Queen can forgive Fucha?
