Queen's scheming

Chapter 36 The Woman in the Palace

Shen Qingyi had just returned to the palace from Duke Feng's mansion, before she had time to change her clothes, she heard that Zhang Yang reported that Concubine Min was visiting.

Shen Qingyi asked Zhang Yangdao puzzledly, "What's the matter? On the day I left the palace, what happened in the palace? Concubine Min had a miscarriage for only three days, and she was not raised in Yuhua Pavilion, so she came to Ningsu Palace do what?"

Zhang Yang shook his head, since Concubine Min's miscarriage, the palace has been silent like a gourd whose mouth has been sawed off suddenly. "Concubine Min only said that she wanted to pay her respects, but she didn't say much about it. But the lady is tired after going back to the mansion to visit relatives today, or else the slave will return it to you, and ask her to come back another day?"

Shen Qingyi waved her hand, "Forget it, let her wait in the inner hall first, and burn a few more charcoal basins. In such a cold weather, if she runs back and forth, I'm afraid she will hurt herself." Shen Qingyi pushed herself and said humanely.

After Shen Qingyi changed her clothes and went to the inner hall, she saw Concubine Min combing a simple lily bun, a hairpin with a butterfly inlaid with tender pink pearls and silver steps, a string of silver orchids on her hairpin, and a magnolia flower on her forehead The green tin, the delicate and elegant Xiaojiabiyu.Wearing a smoky blue Su brocade white butterfly dress with flowers, and a light yellow winter blouse embroidered with January white, which echoes the long skirt, and the face is only slightly powdered. His solar terms didn't match. He was dressed in gentle clothes, but there was a hint of chill.

Concubine Min greeted Shen Qingyi, and stood there silently.

Shen Qingyi was startled when she saw it, "It's so good, what is this for? Your body is not in recovery yet, why don't you take good care of it."

Concubine Min raised her eyes to look at Shen Qingyi, her eyes were as dark as an abandoned dry well, so deep that it was chilling.Seeing this, Yu Lian and Yu He tactfully brought down the palace full of maids.

"Okay, all the maids are going down. If you have anything to do, sit down and talk about it." Concubine Min's eyes were largely filled with despair. A woman who lost her child is often like a migratory bird that has lost its wings. Desperate and sad.

Concubine Min did not take her seat, but raised her skirt, leaned over and knelt down, letting the winter jasmine flowers on the outer dress spill on the ground, "Concubine came to beg the empress to avenge concubine's child. "

"How do you want to take revenge? Didn't the emperor decree to confine Concubine Xuegui for two months?" Shen Qingyi lamented Concubine Xue's stupidity. The emperor only confines Concubine Xuegui, clearly showing favoritism. He would only end up being left out in the cold by Li Tianyou.

"A concubine's child is a life, but the emperor only ordered a confinement for two months. It turns out that a concubine's child is only worth two months of freedom?" Concubine Min raised her head and complained, "Concubine knows that her status is humble, and she is more humble than a concubine. No one else, but the concubines just want to give birth to the child in peace, so as to comfort the loneliness of the deep palace, why they still refuse to let the concubine go."

What Concubine Min said was what Shen Qingyi thought back then. In Shen Qingwan's eyes, a child was power and status, but at that time Shen Qingyi only wanted to have a child of her and Li Tianyou, that's all.

"Get up, I can't help you, Concubine Xuegui's punishment will not be changed, if you still feel dissatisfied, you can go to the emperor." Shen Qingyi was helpless, Concubine Xuegui was framed, Shen Qingyi knew, The emperor also knew, besides, Li Tianyou also got 10 taels of gold donated by the Zhen Guo Gongfu because of this matter, and the punishment for Concubine Xue Gui was nothing more than that.

"Although my concubine is humble, she is not so stupid. No one would be so stupid as to let her own stolen goods be caught on the spot, so Concubine Xuegui must have been framed." Concubine Min was forced by Concubine Xuegui to drink After eating the white fungus and lotus seed soup, she felt an unbearable abdominal pain within a short while. She hated it at the time and thought it was Concubine Xue Gui who was harming her, but after thinking about it afterwards, she always felt that something was wrong.

"Then why did you come to seek Bengong?" Shen Qingyi suddenly relaxed, she sympathized with Concubine Min, but a mother who has grown strong and avenged her child does not need her sympathy.

"My concubine heard that the empress rewarded the honey fragrance around my concubine?" Concubine Min raised her eyes to Shen Qingyi, as if she wanted to see something on her face.

Shen Qingyi went out of the palace for a while, and just entered the palace to take a rest. Now that she was relaxed, she picked up the teacup with azure-glazed willow patterns beside her, sipped the tea, and said lightly, "It's true, she bumped into this Gong, I punished her, why, are you going to hold me accountable for your maid?"

"Concubine dare not." Concubine Min stared at Shen Qingyi's face, "Concubine is just curious, Empress Empress is never someone who disposes of maids at will, how could she be rewarded with such serious redness just because of an almost collision? . ” Min Concubine deliberately bit the word “nearly” very hard.

Shen Qingyi's face had a faint soft light in the mist of the tea, which made it difficult to see her expression, "Is it possible for me to explain to you how this palace deals with the palace people?"

"Of course not." Hearing this, Min Bin seemed to understand something.Changing his expression, he said humbly, "The concubine is just asking for the protection of the empress. Concubine Xuegui poisoned and killed the concubine's child, and she is only grounded. She is the third-rank noble concubine, the first palace master, and the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion." The concubine is afraid that she will cause trouble for the concubine after she lifts the title of Jin. The concubine thinks that the empress also has a miscarriage not long ago, so she must understand the concubine's mood. Mother's, for the sake of her own children, don't you care about the Duke's mansion or the emperor's family?"

Shen Qingyi frowned slightly, Min Bin's words were intended to show that her formed male fetus was also poisoned by others, heh, it turned out that Shen Qingyi was ignorant of things that others could see through in her previous life, no wonder she would It ended up like that.

"You don't have to worry about this. As a queen, I will treat you all equally. If Concubine Xuegui wants to bully you, I will be the first to refuse." She will set foot in Yuhua Pavilion, that is a disgrace to her, the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo.

"The concubine can feel at ease in this way." Concubine Min bowed to leave, as gentle as when she came.

"Why didn't the empress tell her directly that Mixiang was bought by Shen Ronghua, and that her child was also framed to death by Shen Ronghua?" Yu He asked puzzledly as she turned from behind the screen of Yu Da Basho.Ever since Yuhe confessed to Shen Qingyi that she knew martial arts, she often hid behind Qingyi, especially in this kind of situation, although Shen Qingyi said several times that no one would blatantly assassinate in this deep palace, but Yu He insisted on this, and after a few arguments, Shen Qingyi just let her go.

"Many times, some words are more deeply rooted in people's hearts than being spoken out." Shen Qingyi smiled sweetly.Concubine Min obviously knew that Concubine Xue Gui was framed by someone, and when she asked about Mi Xiang, she just wanted to see Shen Qingyi's reaction.Shen Qingyi killed a court lady with a stick for no reason, obviously she was covering up something, so who in this palace would Shen Qingyi cover up for her?Of course it was her weak second sister.Concubine Min also made it clear just now that as a mother, for the sake of her children, she doesn't care about the government or the royal family.

Shen Qingyi suddenly became curious, what kind of sparks would collide between Concubine Min and Shen Qingwan who live in the same palace.
