Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 566 Admitting Mistakes
"Master, Concubine Zhuang is here." In the early morning, just after Su Qingyan had breakfast, Zixuan's reply sounded outside the hall, and Su Qingyan responded, signaling her to invite Concubine Zhuang in.

"My concubine pays her respects to Concubine Chen, and concubine Jin An." Entering the hall, Concubine Zhuang spoke in a respectful tone, and saluted Su Qingyan. Beside her was Ban Xia who was also very respectful.

"Concubine Zhuang, please get up quickly." Sitting on the couch, Su Qingyan waved her hand, signaling Concubine Zhuang to get up, but Concubine Zhuang didn't move, she was still kneeling on the ground.

"Concubine Zhuang, what do you mean?" Seeing her like this, Su Qingyan asked Concubine Zhuang.

"I beg your concubine to forgive me." Hearing Su Qingyan's question, Concubine Zhuang kowtowed to Su Qingyan before speaking.

"Forgive me? Forgive me for what?" She raised her eyebrows, Su Qingyan was a little surprised, she looked at Concubine Zhuang, and said again, "No matter what it is, get up and answer, don't kneel on the ground."

"Thank you, Empress Concubine." Su Qingyan said so, it was really wrong for Concubine Zhuang to continue kneeling, she stood up and stood aside with her head bowed.

"Tell me, why did you ask me to forgive your sin? Could it be that you did something that was not good for me?" Staring at Concubine Zhuang, Su Qingyan spoke in a flat tone, obviously her tone was the same as usual, but she didn't know What's the matter, Concubine Zhuang's heart still twitched.

"The concubine is kind to the concubine, and the concubine dare not do things that are not good for the concubine. The concubine asked the concubine to forgive her sins, because the concubine concealed the concubine and was not honest enough to the concubine."

Gritting her teeth, Concubine Zhuang spoke again. She suddenly felt that she had misjudged Concubine Chen all along. She might not be as easy-going as she appeared on the outside.

Thinking about it, a person who has not been favored for three years has become a noble concubine in only one year. If he has no skills, how can the emperor like him so much?
"Not honest enough? What did Concubine Zhuang hide from me?" Hearing what Concubine Zhuang said, Su Qingyan showed a smile on her face, "Sit down and answer, Zixuan, let's have some tea."

Zixuan responded, and then stepped back. Concubine Zhuang hesitated for a while, and finally sat down next to the chair.

"Some time ago, my concubine was doing needlework in the Mingyue Pavilion, and suddenly heard two young maids talking outside the Mingyue Pavilion. Between the words, they were talking about the child in the womb of the empress. The concubine was shocked and wanted to tell the empress. , but worried that it was a trap.”

"Just after such a hesitation, rumors quickly spread in the palace, saying that the child in the womb of the imperial concubine is... a ghost fetus, because the womb of the empress is bigger than others."

"Because of this rumor, the concubine is even more afraid to tell the empress, but if she hides it like this, the concubine is always uneasy. Whenever I think of the favor the empress has given to the concubine, the concubine's heart is like a fire. After much deliberation, I finally decided to report to the empress. .”

"Although...although this matter has passed for a few days, I didn't hide it intentionally. Please forgive me for concealing it." Standing up, Concubine Zhuang fell to her knees again.

Hearing Concubine Zhuang's words, Su Qingyan glanced at Nanny Jin at the side, both of them showed surprise on their faces.

They really didn't know what Concubine Zhuang said, not only them, but even Kang Ninghai didn't know.

"You just said that you heard a little maid outside your Mingyue Pavilion talking about it?" Turning around, Su Qingyan asked Concubine Zhuang.

"The words of Concubine Huichen are indeed true. Her voice is not too low, so I suspect that this is a trap. To tell you the truth, I asked Ban Xia to investigate and found that many people have heard such words, so... ...So, this matter is aimed at the empress."

Now that she had said it, Concubine Zhuang gritted her teeth and told Su Qingyan what she knew. What she didn't know was that what Su Qingyan needed now were these clues.

"Jin Nanny, quickly help Concubine Zhuang up." After hearing Concubine Zhuang's words, Su Qingyan looked at Jin Nanny and gave instructions. , Tell Kang Ninghai everything.

Kang Ninghai was worried that there was no clue, but now, this clue came.

When Su Qingyan said this, Concubine Zhuang felt relieved. Before Nanny Jin could touch her, Concubine Zhuang got up quickly. She knew that Nanny Jin was someone whom Imperial Concubine Chen relied heavily on. How could she let Nanny Jin Mama helped herself up?

"Sit down. Not only do I not blame you for this matter, but I also want to thank you." Looking at Concubine Zhuang, Su Qingyan smiled and said.

"If you had kept it from me, I would not have known about it, but you chose to tell me and provided me with clues for the investigation. In fact, it doesn't matter whether it's sooner or later. It's not too late to know now."

"Next month will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. The palace should be lively and lively. At that time, your status may be mentioned." Emperor Jing had told Su Qingyan about this matter before, and Concubine Zhuang would be mentioned. The status was naturally based on Su Qingyan's face.

"Niangniang..." Concubine Zhuang never thought that Su Qingyan would say such a thing. Thinking that her status might change, Concubine Zhuang suddenly felt guilty.

This time, she really felt guilty. Before, she wanted to wait and see what happened, and when it was right, she would tell Concubine Chen, or she didn't say anything at all, just watched.

But I didn't expect that although I was thinking of everything, Concubine Chen was sincere to me. For a moment, Concubine Zhuang's heart was so full that she didn't even dare to look at Su Qingyan's face.

"It's not easy to survive in the harem, I can understand you." Seeing Concubine Zhuang like this, Su Qingyan spoke again, the more she was like this, the more embarrassing Concubine Zhuang was.

"Mother, I know I was wrong. From now on, I will never dare to hide my thoughts again." Kneeling down on the ground again, Concubine Zhuang kowtowed three times to Su Qingyan. Her behavior made Su Qingyan rush He stood up and helped her up with his own hands.

"I'm helping you. I just think that you are very similar to Bengong's past. It can be regarded as fate. Some things are over, so don't take it to heart. In this harem, if you make a wrong step, you may make a wrong step. Ben Gong hopes that you will not go wrong."

Looking at Concubine Zhuang, Su Qingyan spoke seriously, Concubine Zhuang nodded again and again. How could she dare to have other thoughts now?
At this time, in her heart, she was extremely in awe of Su Qingyan, and she secretly swore in her heart that from now on, she would definitely follow the example of Imperial Concubine Chen in order to repay her kindness to herself.

"Sit down, you can stay at Longgan Palace for lunch at noon." Patting Concubine Zhuang on the shoulder, Su Qingyan said with a smile, Concubine Zhuang quickly responded and sat down on the chair again.

The refreshments were brought up, Su Qingyan picked up the fruit tea on the small table, and took a sip with her lowered eyes, no one saw the flash of light in her eyes...
