Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 597 Bad intentions
Concubine Rong wanted to hide what she wanted to hide, but in the end she didn't hide it. On the way to Guanju Palace to pay her respects, Li Zheng overheard the little palace maid talking about her.

Standing in the same place in a daze, Li Zheng didn't expect that such words would be spread because he didn't think about anything, he didn't do anything. For a moment, Li Zheng felt a little desperate.

After the gossiping ladies left, Li Zheng thought about it, changed direction, and walked aimlessly.

Behind Li Zheng, someone was watching her every move. Seeing her walking in one direction, that person turned around and walked in another direction.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Li Zheng came to the lotus pond. Although it was already August, the lotus was still in full bloom. Li Zheng sat by the lotus pond with a dazed expression.

She originally thought that as the princess's mistress, those things that were imposed on her could be taken away, but she didn't expect that it was still the case.

Recalling what she heard just now, Li Zheng's eye circles turned red unconsciously, and tears rolled down the corners of her eyes. At this moment, she was full of grievances.

For a moment, Li Zheng even thought that he might as well jump off the lotus pond, in this case, he would be able to settle everything.

Li Zheng didn't know how long she had been sitting by the lotus pond. She only knew that the thoughts in her heart became stronger and stronger. She stood up and walked towards the lotus pond step by step.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Behind her, a pair of hands grabbed her, and a gentle voice sounded, causing Li Zheng to turn his head and look at the person behind him.

Behind Li Zheng, a concubine wearing a light purple palace attire was standing behind her, her face was full of concern, behind her, followed by several palace people, all bowed their heads at this moment .

"You are not a concubine in the palace." Looking at Li Zheng, he pulled her concubine to speak, his tone still very gentle.

"You are?" Looking at the other party, Li Zheng's eyes flickered with hesitation. She hadn't walked around the harem before. In normal times, she had never been to other places except Yichun Palace and Guanju Palace.

"This is Concubine Xian, which palace do you belong to? Looking at the clothes on your body, it seems that you are not a palace lady." After Li Zheng finished speaking, Linglong immediately opened her mouth and revealed the identity of Concubine Xian.

"Minister Li Zheng, join Concubine Xian." After hearing Linglong's words, Li Zheng immediately knelt down on the ground, wanting to salute Concubine Xian.

"Don't be too polite, so you are Princess An's teacher." Supporting Li Zheng, Concubine Xian smiled and said, she pulled Li Zheng and sat where Li Zheng had been before.

"Look at your appearance just now... what are you going to do?" After sitting down, Concubine Xian looked at Li Zheng and asked with concern. If she didn't know, she thought the relationship between the two was good.

"Minister..." Opened her mouth, Li Zheng didn't know what to say, so she had to lower her head, her eyes turned red again.

"I heard some rumors recently, which are related to you. At first, I didn't believe it. Now that I see you, I am more and more sure that someone is trying to make trouble behind your back."

Li Zheng couldn't speak, Concubine Xian spoke in a gentle tone and helped Li Zheng to speak. After listening to her, Li Zheng raised his head and looked at Concubine Xian.

"Concubine Xian, do you believe in women?" At this time, Li Zheng was extremely eager to be recognized, so after hearing Concubine Xian finished speaking, she immediately asked anxiously.

"Bengong naturally believes in you. You are a good girl at first glance. How could you seduce the emperor? In fact, I know something about your past. Those things are not fair to you at all. .”

Nodding her head, Concubine Xian spoke seriously, her eyes full of trust in Li Zheng, she was so grateful to Li Zheng.

"Speaking of which, aren't you Concubine Chen's distant cousin? Why doesn't Concubine Chen come forward to help you in such a matter? In today's harem, everyone knows how much Concubine Chen is favored. As long as she says a word, the rumors in the harem will immediately spread. will all disappear."

Looking at Li Zheng, Concubine Xian showed doubts on her face, Li Zheng couldn't help lowering her head when she said so.

Just now, she also thought of this question, and she didn't know why, why imperial concubine Chen didn't say a word for herself.

"Could it be..." Halfway through speaking, Concubine Xian's tone was full of hesitation, seeing her like this, Li Zheng couldn't help asking.

"Concubine Xian, what do you mean? Can you tell the girl?" People are like this, the more people don't want to say something, the more they want to know.

"Actually, it's nothing. If I say this, I'm afraid you'll misunderstand." Seeing Li Zheng taking the bait, Concubine Xian pretended to be embarrassed. The more she was like this, the more Li Zheng wanted to ask.

"Concubine Xian, the girl won't misunderstand, so you can tell the girl." Looking at Concubine Xian, Li Zheng begged.

"Forget it, I'll tell you, but don't overthink it." After hesitating for a while, Concubine Xian finally spoke, Li Zheng nodded quickly, and looked at Concubine Xian.

"I was thinking that you and Concubine Chen are cousins. If something like this happened, Concubine Chen should send someone to help you immediately to eliminate the rumors, but she didn't."

"I heard that you have met the emperor before, so I thought, could it be... Imperial Concubine Chen is afraid that you will be favored by the emperor and compete with her?"

"This is what I shouldn't have said. If someone knew about it, I thought it was me who instigated the relationship between you. But think about it carefully. It's just a matter of one sentence. Why didn't Imperial Concubine Chen help you? The palace has heard that Concubine Rong has ordered that the palace people are not allowed to spread rumors."

"You are Princess An's teacher, there is nothing wrong with Concubine Rong for helping you, but if it is true, you and Concubine Chen should be closer. I see that you look good, maybe you are really likely to be liked by the emperor. "

Looking at Li Zheng, a gentle smile appeared on Concubine Xian's face again, "What I said just now, I just said it casually, don't think too much about it."

"In this harem, there are too many right and wrong, even sisters may turn against each other, not to mention cousins... Oh, look at me talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."

Annoyance flashed in her eyes, Concubine Xian stretched out her hand, patted Li Zheng's hand, and said in a gentle tone, she said this, although Li Zheng nodded in response, but he was full of thoughts in his heart.

What Li Zheng doesn't know is that this is exactly what Concubine Xian wants. Anyway, Concubine Xian has been in the palace for four years, and Li Zheng doesn't know all the twists and turns she will make. Misleading is also normal.

"I feel that since you and Concubine Chen are cousins, she can push you to Concubine Rong to be a teacher for Princess An, but she can also push you to the emperor's side. After all, Concubine Chen is pregnant. It's inconvenient to sleep in."

"The emperor is in his prime, so he will inevitably think about those things. At this time, the cheapest one must be the maid next to Concubine Chen..."
