Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 705 Finally found a reason

Cining Palace.

After hearing the Queen Mother's scolding, Xu Rou curled her lips.

But she didn't dare to argue.

Don't think she doesn't know that the reason her aunt was so keen on asking her to pay her respects at Ningyuxuan.

I'm not afraid of breaking the rules, okay?

She was just greedy and wanted me to go to Ningyuxuan and bring her something to eat.

When Concubine Gao walked into the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager was still chatting with Xu Rou.

Shi Yaoyao sat next to him and didn't say anything.

This time, she did not actively offer any suggestions on how to deal with Lady Gao.

Both the aunt and the niece hated her.

So, she just came a little late, and the Queen Mother sent someone to call her.

Anyway, they all want to involve her in this harmful matter.

The reason the Queen Mother used to deal with Concubine Gao today was to serve her illness.

But she didn't dress up as carefully as she did last time, for fear that people would not believe that she was really sick.

Isn't she just a beauty? She's not worth her attention.

So when Concubine Gao came in, she saw the empress dowager with a rosy face and leaning against the head of the bed pretending to be weak.

"Your concubine Gao Meiren pays respect to the Queen Mother."

After Gao Meiren came in, the first thing she did was to humble herself.

Her main focus now is to prevent the Queen Mother from finding any evidence against her.

"Ms. Gao is very smart..."

Hongdou moved the tiles on the roof of the Empress Dowager's bedroom to create a crack.

She and Huang Ye were both looking inside through the crack.

As for why it's just a crack? Why not make it bigger?

If it moves too far, won’t the people in the house notice it?

"Lady Gao, right? I'm not feeling well, the Queen is pregnant, and Concubine Du has to take care of all the affairs in the harem..."

The Queen Mother looked at Lady Gao, who was kneeling on the ground with her head lowered, and did not let her stand up.

Lady Gao didn't dare to say anything.

She is a foul-mouthed person, but her mother has also taught her that the more you talk, the more mistakes you make.

She only speaks bad words according to the situation.

She would never say anything in a place like the Cining Palace, which is a dangerous place.

"Except for those few people in the palace, you are the only one with a position that is qualified to come to the Cining Palace to serve the sick."

Gao Meiren still kept her head down and didn't respond.

The Queen Mother is a straightforward person and she is impatient with people beating around the bush.

"You haven't said anything so you don't want to serve me?"

"I am willing. I am very willing and honored to serve the Queen Mother."

Hearing the Queen Mother's voice, Meng's tone suddenly became stern from his initial weak tone.

Lady Gao quickly expressed her loyalty loudly.

"I don't think you dare say you don't want to."

Xu Rou curled her lips in disdain and said to Lady Gao.

"Then get up."

The Queen Mother didn't intend to punish Lady Gao with a stick at this time.

Lady Gao got up from the ground and stood respectfully beside the empress dowager's bed.

"Sister Shi Cairen has met Sister Gao."

Shi Yaoyao never makes mistakes when it comes to rules.

She walked forward and bowed respectfully to Lady Gao, who politely asked her to stand up.

Now she knew very well that this Concubine Shi was in cahoots with Empress Dowager Xu and the others.

But now, it would be good if she could offend one less person.

After all, she had never had any obvious conflict with this talented scholar.

"Shi Yaoyao is a ruthless character. She is impeccable in every situation."

On the roof, Huang Ye was also praising Shi Yaoyao to Hongdou.

"What a ruthless character she is. In my opinion, she is no match for the queen."

Red beans and yellow leaves are biting each other's ears.

"Our Hongdou is still the one with good taste..."

Huang Ye patted Hongdou's head approvingly, and the two of them continued to look down with great interest.

According to the rules, Xu Rou should also bow to Lady Gao.

After all, Shi Yaoyao is already in the front and has set an example.

But who is Xu Rou?

She wished she could kill Lady Gao right now, so how could she possibly pay her respects to her?

Regarding Xu Rou's disdain and unwillingness to greet.

Lady Gao didn't dare to care about it.

Xu Rou has her aunt, the Empress Dowager, watching her, so she doesn't even dare to glance at her.

"Miss Gao, I have a headache, please give me a massage..."

The Queen Mother always does things in a simple and rough manner.

She glanced at Gao Meiren with the side of her eyes and didn't say a word.

Lady Gao looked left and right, seeming a little embarrassed.

The Queen Mother leaned against the head of the bed, and behind it was the wall.

Even if she wanted to go forward and massage the empress dowager's scalp, there was no place for her to stay.

"Empress Dowager, could you please get out of bed, otherwise I can't..."

Unfortunately, before she could finish her words, the Queen Mother flew into a rage.

"You clearly know that I have a headache... It hurts so much that I can't get out of bed, and you are still here making sarcastic remarks. What is your intention?"

Gao Meiren was so frightened that she knelt on the ground again.

"Your Majesty, calm down. What I meant is..."

"You mean you want to make fun of the Queen Mother on purpose."

If Xu Rou didn't come out and say a few words at this time, she would be unworthy of all the grievances she had suffered in Ning Yuxuan.

"Your Highness, I definitely don't have that thought."

Although he knew in his heart that he would definitely suffer some hardships when he came to the Cining Palace today.

But Lady Gao didn't expect that the Queen Mother would be so persistent.

She was too lazy to even pretend and just used her ultimate move right away.

"Rou'er is right. You rely on the Queen to protect you and don't take Cining Palace seriously..."

Whenever the Queen was mentioned, the Queen Mother would begin to seethe with anger.

She now really felt that this Concubine Gao was relying on the power of the Queen to provoke her Cining Palace.

She has plenty of ways to deal with this restless concubine.

"Your Highness, I have always respected you the most. You must trust me..."

When Concubine Gao heard that the Queen Mother had put such a big accusation on her, she was terrified.

She kept defending herself, hoping that the Queen Mother would let her go.

"You respect me the most?"

The Queen Mother stared at Lady Gao.

"I really respect the Queen Mother..."

Lady Gao couldn't care about anything else now.

She just insisted that she respected the Empress Dowager.

Even if the Queen Mother wanted to torture her, she had to have a reason.

There is nothing wrong with her respecting the Queen Mother. How could the Queen Mother be dissatisfied?

"What a respectful person..."

The Queen Mother looked at Lady Gao and smiled sinisterly.

"It has been more than half a year since last year. You respect me so much, why haven't I seen you come to the Cining Palace to pay your respects?"

Concubine Gao was speechless after hearing what the Queen Mother said.

It was her fault.

She was so focused on showing her loyalty that she forgot about this.

"Your Highness the Queen Mother... Without the Queen Mother accompanying me... I cannot come to the Cining Palace to pay my respects without permission..."

Gao Meiren said stumblingly.

"You've found a good excuse... Don't you respect me? If that's the case... Isn't it natural for you to come to Ning Yuxuan to pay your respects?"

The Queen Mother finally found a reason to punish Concubine Gao.
