Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 153
Looking at Su Qingyan who was kneeling on the ground, the queen restrained the smile on her face. This was the third time that Concubine Chen was late to greet her.

"Concubine Chen Gui, if I remember correctly, I said yesterday that you can be exempted from asking for greetings if you are pregnant, but if you want to greet them, you should show it."

Without letting Su Qingyan get up, the queen glanced in the direction of Concubine Rong, and seeing her provocative smile on her face, she became more and more annoyed.

"Please forgive me, empress, I know I'm wrong." Kneeling on the ground, Su Qingyan's attitude was the same as yesterday, which made the empress even more angry.

"Since you know your mistake, then Concubine Chen should just kneel here for half an hour." Originally, she wanted Su Qingyan to get up, but thinking of her doing this one after another, the Empress felt that if she didn't express it again, the rest of the concubines would be afraid. I have to learn from her too.

"Empress, Concubine Chen is pregnant, so I'm afraid I won't be able to kneel."

Concubine Rong sat on the chair, smiled and said, although what she said was a plea, but the words were more like a joke.

"It's only half an hour, why can't you kneel? My palace has repeatedly given Chen Guifei a chance, but Chen Guifei has ignored my words. This can be regarded as a crime. Do you have any objections if you are not a noble concubine?"

If someone else interceded, the empress might use the slope to get off the donkey, but it was Concubine Rong who spoke, which made the empress feel even more that she and Concubine Chen wanted to join forces to deal with her.

"I don't dare to have any objections. I just want to remind the Empress. Now Concubine Chen is the emperor's favorite person. If something happens, the Empress may not be able to take care of it."

Staring at the queen, Concubine Rong still had a smile on her face. It didn't matter to her whether she let Concubine Chen get up, anyway, she had nothing to do with herself.

It would be even better if something happened to Concubine Chen in Qifeng Palace, but she wished Concubine Chen could not keep the child in her womb.

Not only that, because the accident happened in Qifeng Palace, the emperor will definitely punish the queen, even if she is not abolished, the queen will not get any good.

After thinking about it, the one who benefits the most is myself.

"I am the empress, so I don't need the concubine to remind me what to do. The concubine should take care of her own affairs."

The queen didn't know what Concubine Rong was thinking. She was a little anxious after being confined for more than ten days. In order to consolidate her position, she had to ask her family to send someone to the palace.

It was hard to get rid of the confinement, but she didn't get back her rights, which made her more anxious. It was because of this that she would not hesitate to face the provocations of Concubine Rong and Concubine Chen. I chose to punish the noble concubine Chen.

Su Qingyan knelt on the ground, listening to the verbal battle between the empress and Concubine Rong, she was glad that it was Concubine Rong who reminded her that if she was someone else, her plan might not succeed.

Yes, Su Qingyan did it on purpose. She intentionally came late to pay her respects, and deliberately changed her attitude towards the queen based on Concubine Rong's attitude.

Su Qingyan is smart, she is very clear that the empress is afraid of Concubine Rong, although she may not be afraid of herself, but if she shows that she wants to join forces with Concubine Rong, it will be different.

Even if she showed signs of it, according to the Queen's personality, she would definitely find a way to prevent her from joining forces with Concubine Rong.

Of course, it is impossible for Su Qingyan to join forces with Concubine Rong, at least right now, it is impossible.

Speaking of which, Su Qingyan was also betting. She bet that the empress would be anxious and impetuous because of being grounded and deprived of her rights.

When a person is in this situation, even if she is usually rational, she will lose her composure and thus lack due judgment.

Sure enough, Su Qingyan guessed what the empress was thinking, because of her intentions over and over again, the empress, who was already a little anxious, finally lost her judgment and punished her to kneel in the Jiaotai Hall where she was invited to peace.

There was pain in her stomach, and Su Qingyan understood that what she ate had finally worked. Thinking that she was about to lose her child, Su Qingyan's eyes flashed with pain.

Son, mother is sorry for you, it is mother who is useless, unable to keep you...

The empress didn't notice Su Qingyan's situation. At this moment, she was only focused on fighting with Concubine Rong, and couldn't pay attention to Su Qingyan at all.

"Empress!" The queen didn't notice, but Yingluo did. She always felt that Concubine Chen's reaction was a bit abnormal, so she kept secretly paying attention to Su Qingyan's reaction.

Speaking of which, she also didn't want the queen to punish Su Qingyan to kneel down, but in front of so many concubines, she couldn't express her opinion to the queen. After all, she was the queen's personal maid, what she should do at this time, It is absolutely standing by the Queen's side.

Even if it was wrong for the queen to do so, she could not slap the queen in the face in front of so many concubines.

Seeing that the noble concubine Chen was kneeling on the ground was unstable, Yingluo knew something was wrong, so she hurriedly opened her mouth to remind her master.

Hearing Yingluo's voice, the queen subconsciously looked at Su Qingyan who was kneeling on the ground. The moment she raised her head, Su Qingyan fell to the ground.

In an instant, the queen's face turned pale, because she clearly saw blood stains on Su Qingyan's skirt.

"Master! Master!" Even though Zitan was an insider, she couldn't help but panic when she saw her master fell to the ground. She lifted Su Qingyan from the ground and let her lean in her arms.

"Child..." Moving her hand to her lower abdomen, Su Qingyan's tone was low, with a grief that only Zitan could hear.

"Come here, hurry... go and get the imperial physician!" The queen was a little lost, but Yingluo quickly came to her senses and shouted towards the outside of the hall.

"Your Majesty, we need to move the concubine Chen to the side hall first." After shouting, Yingluo looked at the queen and said to her.

"Come on, move the noble concubine Chen to the side hall, hurry up!" The queen came back to her senses and ordered to the palace people. Concubine Rong looked at the appearance of the queen, and attracted the red sleeves beside her, and gave her instructions in a low voice A few words.

In response, Hongxiu retreated quietly, because of the confusion, no one noticed that she had left Qifeng Palace.

…………

"Hiss..." On the main hall, Emperor Jing suddenly covered his chest, and frowned tightly. Kang Ninghai stood aside, seeing Emperor Jing like this, and hurriedly took a step forward.

Not only him, the ministers in the palace also looked at Emperor Jing with worry on their faces.

"I'm fine, Su Qing can continue." The one who was reporting back was Su Qingyan's father, Su Zhiyuan, who has now become the Secretary of the Household Department.

After receiving the order, Su Zhiyuan saluted and spoke again, "Report to the Emperor..."
