The Job of an Imperial Concubine

On the night when she returned to the palace, it was reported in Changtian Tower that Qiangui called the imperial physician, but the imperial physician told her that the clothes she was wearing were contaminated with medicinal powder, which made her whole body itchy and easily attracted leeches. For a while, the concubines who had been waiting to see Qiangui's bustle became careful, for fear that this matter would happen to them inexplicably.

Zhuang Luoyan sat in the gazebo, watching the koi swimming in the green lake with a relaxed expression, but heard the gossip of the two court ladies.

"Who do you think will harm noble Qian?"

"Who knows, noble lady Qian has been loved by the emperor since she entered the palace. Although she is not as good as Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhao Xianrong, she is almost as good as Concubine Rou."

"From my point of view, Xu Zhaorong might have done this. Now that Mr. Qiangui lives with her, but she has fallen out of favor, I don't know how much I hate it."

"Which two daring maids are talking about the master?" Just when Zhuang Luoyan was excited, the voice of Concubine Rou was heard not far away. In front of Concubine Rou, there are two palace maids with no color in front of her.

"I've seen Concubine Rou," Zhuang Luoyan blessed Concubine Rou, and glanced at the kneeling maid with a slight smile on her face.

"This is not Zhao Xianrong." Although Concubine Rou said that she was not happy with Zhuang Luoyan, but now that Zhuang Luoyan's favor is in full swing, her face is much gentler than before. "I just went to the suburbs yesterday, how can I have the energy to come out today?" go?"

"It's just going to the outskirts of the city, and it's not a lot of effort." Zhuang Luoyan smiled gently, "Seeing the pleasant scenery today, I thought about going out for a walk, but I heard some nonsense."

"It's not some nonsense," Concubine Rou looked at the two maids coldly, it is not a happy thing for any concubine to be compared with a nobleman by a court lady. What's more, she has never been soft-tempered. Since someone dares to say that, they must bear her anger, "In my opinion, some people can't control their mouths, so they don't need to open their mouths."

Zhuang Luoyan drooped her eyes and lowered her head, the corners of her mouth were slightly curved and she didn't say much.

Concubine Rou saw that Zhuang Luoyan had no intention of intervening in this matter, so she said with a cold face: "Come here, send these two maids to the palace. This kind of behavior of talking about the master will be severely punished."

Seeing the two maids begging for mercy and being dragged down, Zhuang Luoyan's smile faded a little, "Where did Concubine Rou come from?"

"Ms. Qiangui is not feeling well, and she is also a sister who serves the emperor, so I naturally went to visit her." Concubine Rou had a half smile, "Has Zhao Xianrong gone to see her? If not, then I will go and see her together with Bengong." .”

When the words reached this point, Zhuang Luoyan naturally no longer refused, and she followed Concubine Rou's footsteps to Changtian Tower.

After walking through the lush bamboo forest, we arrived at Changtian Building. Zhuang Luoyan saw Gao Dezhong standing outside, knowing that the emperor was also in Changtian Building, he paused, and nodded to Gao Dezhong with a smile: "Eunuch Gao."

"I've seen Concubine Rou, Concubine Zhaoxian Rong," Gao Dezhong said with a smile to Zhuang Luoyan after saluting, "The two empresses are here to see Mrs. Qiangui? At this moment, the emperor and empress concubine Shu Guifei are all here. Well, please."

"My father-in-law," Zhuang Luoyan nodded slightly, seeing Concubine Rou had already walked a few steps forward, so she had no choice but to turn around and follow.

Looking at the backs of the two empresses, Gao Dezhong bent down again, and when he looked up again, the smile on his face gradually faded.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Rou Zhaoxian asks to see you!"

Feng Jin, who had no expression on his face, heard the eunuch's report and nodded, "Let them in." There was also a warmer look on his face, which made the empress who was sitting beside him twitch.

"Your Majesty, the skin on Qiangui's body is almost scratched, and Xu Zhaorong is too vicious," the queen said with a serious expression, "Poor Qiangui's snow-colored skin makes me feel distressed just looking at it."

Zhuang Luoyan walked into the room, and when she heard the Queen's words, she felt a little emotional. Telling lies so sincerely is a must-have skill for women in the harem. Fushen walked to a place three steps away from the emperor, "I have seen the emperor."

"You two concubines don't need to be too polite," the emperor said in a calm voice, "give me a seat."

Zhuang Luoyan sat down under Concubine Rou, carefully glanced at Qiangui who was leaning on the bed, and took a breath of air-conditioning, how could such a beautiful face become like this, that horribly red rash Turning a face that is all over the country and the city into a dominatrix.

"How did Qiangui get hurt so badly?" Concubine Rou was surprised, frowning with dissatisfaction, "Qiangui is beautiful, who would be so cruel?"

These words are really wicked, obviously others have been disfigured, but the queen and concubine Rou still have to mention snow-colored skin and beautiful appearance. Is it possible that the emperor must keep the embarrassment of Qiangui in mind? Also, Xu Zhaorong who was kneeling on the ground could possibly be transparent, concubine Rou insisted on saying such a thing?

Qiangui seemed to be unable to accept her own appearance, and as soon as Concubine Rou finished speaking, she pulled the quilt to cover most of her face, and she didn't even bother to look at everyone.

Feng Jin raised his eyelids, ignored Concubine Rou's words, and turned to the Queen and said: "Your Excellency Qian looks like this now, you should put in more effort to let her recover sooner."

"Please don't worry, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not only distressed by you, but I am also distressed." The Queen responded gently, and then looked at Xu Zhaorong, "Xu Zhaorong, you have made mistakes again and again, it is an unforgivable crime."

Xu Zhaorong raised his head and smiled sadly, "Since the emperor and empress have condemned me, I am naturally unforgivable."

This kind of words can't make the empress change half of her face, she lowered her eyelids, "Earlier you were jealous of Zhao Xianrong, the emperor thought you had served for many years and did not severely punish you, now you are poisoning Qiangui, your intentions are really sinister."

Xu Zhaorong listened to the queen's words indifferently, then turned to look at the emperor, "Your majesty..."

Zhuang Luoyan saw that there was still hope in Xu Zhaorong's eyes, maybe she knew in her heart that all the women in the room couldn't wait to put this crime on her head, and the only one who could prove her innocence was the emperor alone.

"What else can you say?" The emperor looked at Xu Zhaorong without much emotion in his eyes, as if looking at a stranger, "Maybe I have indulged you too much."

The emperor said so lightly that the expectations in Xu Zhaorong's eyes completely disappeared. She knelt up straight, bowed to the emperor, and said clearly, "The guilty concubine has nothing to say."
