Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 132 Rumors
The resentment in Princess An's eyes was beyond the Queen's imagination, but this was exactly what she wanted, but in front of Princess An, she still had to pretend to be a loving mother.

"An'er, didn't the queen mother say that? No matter what you think in your heart, you can't say it, especially to Concubine Chen."

"Mother, in this harem, I can only trust you, and I won't say a word to other people."

Perhaps because of Shen Rongjie's death, the young Princess An appeared much more mature.

"Hey, you are still so young, this shouldn't be something you carry." Sighing, the queen didn't mean to correct Princess An's words at all. What she wanted was to make Princess An think that her mother's He died because of Concubine Chen.

"Empress mother, son-in-law must avenge mother. She made son-in-law lose her mother, son-in-law will make her lose child!" She spoke viciously, and Princess An's immature face showed a hint of ferocity.

"An'er, why do you do this? If your father finds out... Sigh!" Sighing, the queen stretched out her hand to stroke Princess An's head, her face full of pity.

"In the end, you are also your father's first daughter, and your father always misses you very much. The concubine Chen's child has not yet been born, so even if your father likes it, he probably won't surpass you."

"An'er, you are still young, and there are some things that should not be borne by you."

If Concubine Rong or Su Qingyan were present, they would definitely understand that although the queen's words sounded like appeasement, they were actually instigating. It's not complicated enough.

She had already thought about it, and after such a tease from the queen, she would definitely do it according to her own will.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. You have experienced such a thing this early in the morning. You must have not eaten yet, right? The queen mother asked someone to prepare some food for you. After using it, sleep in the queen's place. ?”

The words were almost finished, the queen changed the subject, if she kept talking, the effect would not be so good.

After hearing what the queen said, Princess An responded in a low voice, but she had her own thoughts in her heart.

…………

In the next few days, as Su Qingyan expected, there were a lot of gossips in the harem, but she didn't care about it, other than asking for peace every day, she just took care of her body with peace of mind.

The Hungry Ghost Festival is getting closer, and there are rumors of ghosts suddenly appearing in the palace. It is said that Shen Rongjie died with a grievance, so her ghost lingers, and she wants to take advantage of the Hungry Ghost Festival to seek revenge on the person who made her feel resentful. .

For such rumors, Emperor Jing couldn't help being furious, and ordered Kang Ninghai to arrest a few people and kill them directly as a warning to others.

However, such a warning did not stop the rumors, but intensified. Many palace people said that they saw the wronged souls, and some even got sick.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the Ghost Festival is coming, and the palace is not peaceful recently, why don't you invite a few more eminent monks to do a good ritual to appease the souls of the dead in the palace."

In Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager sat on a soft couch, fiddled with Buddhist beads in her hands, and said to Emperor Jing.

"Yes, everything is up to the Queen Mother." Emperor Jing knew that the Queen Mother had always been in awe of ghosts and gods, and now that the Queen Mother asked, he would naturally not refuse.

"Well, let's leave it to the queen. Speaking of which, rumors are spreading in the harem, and the queen should be rectified. Otherwise, what's the point?"

Although the Empress Dowager does not leave Shoukang Palace, she knows everything that should be known.

"My son understands." Nodding, Emperor Jing responded, the previous rectification did not have any effect, and Emperor Jing had already asked Kang Ninghai to investigate. He believed that there must be someone behind this, not some lingering soul.

"Well, there are two concubines who are pregnant in the palace. After all, it's still too few. Although the court affairs are important, the offspring are also important. You should move around more."

In the Empress Dowager's heart, the most important thing is naturally the heirs, after all, Emperor Jing still doesn't have a heir who can inherit the throne.

Although Emperor Jing was young, he still had to pay attention to the inheritance of his heirs. Only in this way would the court be stable.

"I know." Emperor Jing knew what the Queen Mother was thinking, so he didn't refute it. After all, he still had to decide whether to go to the harem.

He has already made up his mind that he will go to Tao Ranju frequently in the recent period. After all, Ah Qing is pregnant, and he is worried that she will be affected by rumors. Of course, in order to avoid some troubles, he will occasionally go to Ningxiang Pavilion. In this way, No one can say anything.

After talking with the queen mother for a while, Emperor Jing left Shoukang Palace. After thinking about it, he ordered Long Nian to go directly to Qifeng Palace.

Knowing that Emperor Jing was coming, the queen couldn't help being a little surprised. She reached out to straighten her hair and straighten her clothes before heading out of the hall to welcome her.

"The empress is free." Seeing that the empress wanted to salute, Emperor Jing waved his hands, and the two entered the shop together. After sitting down, Emperor Jing talked about what the empress dowager had just mentioned.

"Don't worry, your majesty, the concubine has already ordered you to go down." Having been with the queen mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for many years, the queen naturally knew the queen mother's temperament, so she had already made preparations in advance.

"The empress is doing business, of course I don't worry. Speaking of which, there have been too many rumors in the palace recently. I suspect that someone is doing something wrong. I have asked Kang Ninghai to investigate. If it is found out, I will never forgive you lightly." Looking at the empress, Emperor Jing He spoke again.

"Such people really cannot be tolerated." Emperor Jing's gaze made the queen feel a little guilty, she always felt that the emperor might know something, so she warned her.

But in front of Emperor Jing, she dared not show it.

"Seeing that it's coming to the Ghost Festival, the empress has been working hard recently. Let some of those who are about the same age be released from the palace. If the rest are still uncontrollable, they will all be sent away."

After listening to the Queen's words, Emperor Jing nodded, and then gave instructions.

"Yes." After hearing Emperor Jing's words, the empress quickly responded, releasing the old palace servants out of the palace was considered a gift, "The emperor is merciful, and the palace servants will definitely appreciate the emperor's kindness."

The queen said so, Emperor Jing didn't speak, he looked away, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

The hall fell into silence, and after staying for a while, Emperor Jing left.

Looking at Emperor Jing's back, the queen couldn't help frowning, she wasn't sure if the emperor knew something, the only thing she knew was to find a way to curb the rumors in the palace.

…………

"Master, there's been a lot of rumors about the haunting recently, why do you still have the mind to go out for a walk?"

Today's weather is exceptionally good, and it's not so stuffy, so Su Qingyan simply took Zitan and Ziyan to the small garden for a walk.

"What does haunting have to do with me? Why am I not in the mood? Look how beautiful the blue sky is, it would be a pity not to come out for a walk..."
