Chapter 66
Sure enough, Concubine Xiao lived up to Xie Chen's trust in her, and stormed into the Empress Dowager's palace on the second day Gao Kun was sent to Shifang Palace.

Concubine Xiao actually didn't know which eunuch Gao Kun was in her palace until now, she just took the time to find them.

Just heard that Xie Chen and the empress are both in the empress dowager's palace, so she can't say anything more now that she is in charge of the empress dowager.

"Mother, mother, you have to judge the ministers and concubines!" Xiao Guifei came in crying, her beautiful face was covered with pear blossoms, which made people feel sorry for her.

The Empress Dowager was talking to Xie Chen and the Empress when she was suddenly frightened by Concubine Xiao's crying.

Xie Chen and the Queen looked at each other, seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Get up first, and tell me what's going on, what's the proper way to cry like this?" The Empress Dowager said helplessly, looking at Concubine Xiao who was kneeling on the ground and bowing before she got up.

After hearing this, Concubine Xiao stood up and went to the side of the Empress Dowager, holding the Empress Dowager's arm, with tears still hanging on her face: "Empress Mother, thank you...she didn't ask my opinion, just...just...just use the best things around me. The smooth ones are leaving."

The Empress Dowager looked up and saw that Concubine Xiao's most trusted maid was still standing beside her, and the chief eunuch was also standing at the door, so she knew that Concubine Xiao was probably making use of the topic again and deliberately looking for trouble for others.

But you still have to save face, and you can't tell the truth, saying that she favored the imperial concubine, so she asked Xie Chen: "Chen'er, is what the imperial concubine said true?"

Xie Chen nodded, and said honestly: "Grandmother, it's like this, the little eunuch is kind to me, I see him living a miserable life, and I want to give him a good place."

The Empress Dowager nodded seriously, and asked again: "How come? Isn't he the most handy servant that Concubine Xiao uses?"

Xie Chen shook his head, saying he didn't know about it.

Concubine Xiao Gui had a trace of embarrassment on her face, and said forcefully: "I didn't know it at first, but now that he's gone, I feel uncomfortable."

Xie Chen silently reminded him: "He is just a servant who cleans the courtyard."

Concubine Xiao glared at Xie Chen, and continued to say to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, no matter what it is, how can the people around me leave at will, and they don't take me seriously!"

The Empress Dowager looked at Xie Chen helplessly.

Seeing this gesture, Xie Chen bowed his head, and confessed his mistake to Concubine Xiao in a soft tone: "Your Majesty, Chen'er made a mistake, you should punish Chen'er."

Concubine Xiao's eyebrows twitched, if it was before, Xie Chen would have jumped up and quarreled with her, but this time Xie Chen has made a lot of progress in the palace, and he actually gave in to her.

Concubine Xiao Gui was also afraid that Xie Chen had other plans in her heart, seeing her silent, she would not jump into the pit on her own initiative.

The queen said to Concubine Xiao at this time: "My sister is Chen'er's elder just like me, why don't you just spare Chen'er once, it can be regarded as giving me face."

Concubine Xiao Gui is a few months older than the empress, so she has always been called elder sister, but she is also willing to surpass the empress in age.

"Okay, then I will give the Empress a face." Xiao Guifei sneered, her face was even more arrogant.

No one in the hall spoke, they were all waiting for Concubine Xiao Gui's next words.

Concubine Xiao looked at the queen, and felt that the queen could not be forced to blame her for this matter, so she turned her eyes to Xie Chen and pointed her finger at her: "Chen'er, you also said that the person who is going to leave is the person who cleaned the courtyard in my palace. Come and help me clean the yard in a while."

Gao Kun went to Shifang Hall, Concubine Xiao deliberately didn't let anyone do his job, even if the House of Internal Affairs arranged for someone to go in, they would not come until tomorrow, Concubine Xiao was waiting for this moment.

It's just that these words made the expressions on the faces of the people present a little unnatural. Xie Chen is the emperor's own niece, the daughter of the prime minister's wife, so her status is naturally noble, how can she do the job of a servant.

"Enough is enough, Concubine Gui." The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Xiao and put away the smile on her face.

Concubine Xiao didn't feel that what she said was wrong, "This is the punishment Chen'er asked me for. Is there anything wrong?"

Xie Chen knew that Concubine Xiao Gui was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect that as she got older, she would become more unreasonable.

"What kind of punishment did the imperial concubine give Chen'er, tell me!" The emperor's voice came from outside.

A quarter of an hour ago, Xie Chen winked at Yinhuan and asked her to find someone to report to the emperor as she said before.

But I didn't expect the emperor to come so soon.

Everyone's eyes were all looking towards the door, Xie Chen keenly noticed that the eyes of the emperor fell on the empress next to him first, he was worried, and only looked away after seeing that the empress was fine.

Xie Chen's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help wondering whether the rumors about the empress' feud were true or not.

If the emperor really likes the empress, not the rumored dislike, then why Xie Chen has never seen the emperor doting on the empress.

Concubine Xiao Gui felt a little guilty when she heard the emperor's question, after all it was just a trivial matter.

But he still pretended to be sad, tears came as soon as he said it, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have to make decisions for my concubines!"

Xie Chen and the queen couldn't help admiring Concubine Xiao Gui.

The emperor came over to help Concubine Xiao who was on the ground, with a distressed face: "What's wrong with Concubine? Don't cry, my heart hurts just looking at it."

Xie Chen glanced at the queen next to her from the corner of her eye. She didn't have much expression on her face, as usual, but Xie Chen felt that she was a little lonely.

After hearing this, Concubine Xiao told the emperor what she had said to the queen mother again, but made herself even more pitiful.

Sure enough, the emperor looked at Concubine Xiao with even more distress, and wiped the tears off her face, "How old is Concubine, and she still cares about this child Chen'er."

Xie Chen watched the emperor's gentle movements, but the words he said were really annoying, and a smile appeared on his face.

The emperor comforted Concubine Xiao, and gave Xie Chen a wink. Xie Chen accepted his smile knowingly, and continued to admit his mistake: "If Concubine Concubine Chen insists on letting Chen'er clean the courtyard for you, it's not that..."

"What? The imperial concubine asked you to do the cleaning for the servants?" The emperor pretended to be surprised, and then pulled away the crying concubine Xiao.

The emperor looked at Concubine Xiao with a serious face: "Concubine, this is because you are being unreasonable, no matter how hard you can let Chen'er do such a thing!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Concubine Xiao to reply, she went on to say: "I also found your fault, I only punish Chen'er, Chen'er, you go back today and think about your mistakes behind closed doors, come to my palace tomorrow and talk about what you did wrong."

"Your Majesty, this... this"

"Chen'er knows his mistake, Chen'er respects the imperial decree." Xie Chen didn't wait for Concubine Xiao to finish speaking, and quickly received the punishment.

Concubine Xiao looked at what was done, and was so angry that she didn't know what to say, she gave Xie Chen and the silent queen beside Xie Chen a look.

The queen mother smiled and said nothing, but she sighed silently when she looked at the queen and the emperor.

Xie Chen returned to Shifang Palace, still doubtful about what he happened to see today, so he asked Yinhuan to call Gao Kun in.

"See Miss Xie, what's your order?" Gao Kun came in and asked politely.

When Gao Kun came here yesterday, he said a lot of thanks, and now he is doing his best for what Xie Chen ordered.
