Chapter 481 [The Legend of Zhen Huan 16]

The Queen Mother sat on the chair, her eyes revealing a trace of fatigue and helplessness. She sighed softly and asked Sun Zhuxi beside her: "Zhuxi, do you think what I did was right or wrong?"

Sun Zhuxi quickly stepped forward and replied respectfully: "Master, I think you are not wrong."

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, indicating her agreement with Sun Zhuxi's words, but the sadness on her face did not dissipate. She continued, "Haha, everything is the fault of that Concubine Shu. If I had known, I should not have asked her to enter the palace. Once she entered the palace, everything became a mess. Look, the Emperor actually threatened me for that bitch. I am her biological mother. How dare he do this to me?" At this point, the Queen Mother's tone became a little excited, and sparks of anger flashed in her eyes.

Sun Zhuxi comforted him, "Master, please don't be angry. It's important to take care of yourself."

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, trying to calm down, and then slowly said: "Forget it, forget it, now we can only take it one step at a time. However, this Concubine Shu can no longer be allowed to stay in the palace, we must find a way to get rid of her."

Sun Zhuxi's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of an idea. She lowered her voice and said to the Queen Mother, "My Lord, should we send someone to put some medicine in Concubine Shu's food? It's a secret medicine from the previous dynasty, called Beauty Drunk. This medicine is colorless and tasteless. Once it's drunk, people will die without knowing it."

The Queen Mother frowned slightly after hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Okay, you arrange for someone to do it, and do it secretly so that no one can find out."

Sun Zhuxi nodded repeatedly and assured, "Yes, master." After that, she turned and left, ready to act according to the Queen Mother's instructions.

"Your Majesty, do you think I won't harm Concubine Shu? I don't believe you will really take your brother's life for Concubine Shu." The Queen Mother said with a gloomy face.

She knew her son too well. Although he had been raised by Empress Xiaoyiren, his relationship with her had always been distant.

However, she also knew that this son had always longed for maternal love in his heart, so did she really not love this son? Perhaps not entirely, but she just loved him less than her younger son.

As night fell, the emperor still went to Chengqian Palace, and seemed to have no intention of staying overnight in the palaces of other concubines.

After entering Chengqian Palace, the emperor sat on the bed, gently stroked Youyou's hair, and said softly: "My dear, there may be major changes in the future. I am worried that you will be implicated. How about I arrange for someone to send you out of the palace to hide?"

Youyou raised her head, looked at the emperor, and said with determination in her eyes: "I will not leave. I will stay in the palace to accompany the emperor."

In fact, Youyou had already learned from Fanghua that the Queen Mother and the Emperor had a dispute, and knew the reason.

She knew that the Queen Mother would not give up and would definitely take action.

The emperor was well aware of this, and he secretly thought that perhaps this was a perfect opportunity to clean up the entire harem.

"Well, I will send people to guard Chengqian Palace. My dear, remember to check all the food in the future. I am worried that someone will poison it." The emperor said. Although he sent people to be by Youyou's side, he was also afraid that there might be places that he did not supervise.

"I know that my maid Zixuan knows some medical skills. I'll let her check it when the time comes." Youyou said.

"Well, that's very good." The emperor nodded, expressing his satisfaction, "Then I am relieved."

At this time, in Jingren Palace, the Queen was asking Jianqiu: "Jianqiu, where did the Emperor go tonight?"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has gone to Chengqian Palace." Jianqiu answered truthfully.

"What? The Emperor has gone again!" The Queen frowned, looking displeased. "Didn't the Empress persuade him?"

"I don't know. I just heard that the emperor's expression seemed a little strange when he came out of Shoukang Palace." Jianqiu said cautiously.

"What on earth happened?" The Queen was puzzled. "Forget it. I will go to the Empress Dowager tomorrow to ask her in person."

On the other side, in Yikun Palace, Concubine Hua also learned the news that the emperor was going to Chengqian Palace, and she was immediately furious.

"Songzhi, has the emperor gone to that bitch Shufei's place again?" Concubine Hua asked gritting her teeth.

"Your Majesty, yes." Songzhi replied tremblingly.

"Songzhi, do you think the emperor has forgotten me?" Concubine Hua complained, tears glistening in her eyes. "It's been so long, and he hasn't come to see me. Is it because I'm old that the emperor is tired of me?"

Songzhi quickly comforted her, "Don't let your imagination run wild. You are the most beautiful woman in the harem. How could the emperor be tired of you?"

"But now the emperor only goes to Chengqian Palace all day long and is unwilling to even look at me..." The more Hua Fei thought about it, the sadder she became, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Your Majesty has always been as beautiful as ever, and you are only 28 years old. Your Majesty, stop daydreaming and go to bed early. I heard that going to bed early can beautify your complexion." Songzhi comforted Concubine Hua softly and carefully helped her make the bed.

Concubine Hua frowned slightly: "Oh? Are you serious? Going to bed early can beautify your face? Why haven't I heard of this before?" As she spoke, she stroked her cheek, seeming to be half-believing and half-doubting this statement.

Songzhi nodded quickly: "Yes, Madam, I also heard from some young palace maids. They said that if you go to bed early and get up early every day, your skin will become better!"

A glimmer of hope flashed in Hua Fei's eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly: "Well... In this case, then I will believe it for the time being. However, if this has no effect, wait and see how I deal with you servants!"

Songzhi quickly bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "Yes, Madam, I will do my best to take care of your daily life."

Hua Fei gently waved her hand, signaling Song Zhi to leave. She slowly lay down on the soft bed, closed her eyes, and prayed in her heart that this method could make her more beautiful.
