Shocking Harem Road: The Legend of Concubine Yi

Chapter 52 Playing
It was almost noon, and it didn't feel too cold.

Yulan Hall is located in the south of Fushan, surrounded by a grove of trees.

Concubine Zhen's favorite magnolia was planted in the courtyard, but it hadn't bloomed yet.

Xinyi's sudden visit surprised Concubine Zhen, and even the two Zhaoyis who were visiting were also surprised.

Chen Shanggong ordered someone to serve tea for Xinyi. After chatting for a while, Concubine Zhen realized that she had something to say to herself, so she sent away the two Zhaoyis and dismissed all the palace people, leaving only Xinyi and Chen Shanggong behind. palace.

"Let's talk, sister, you are so cautious, it must be a big deal!" Concubine Zhen said with a smile.

Xinyi smiled slightly, and said, "The servant girl came today to thank the empress for her reward!"

"Sister, you're being polite," Zhen Guifei said, "I also feel that I have a good relationship with you, and I don't have anything good to give you, it's just some rouge and gouache! Why is my sister so alien!"

Xinyi bowed and said: "The empress has a kind heart and treats the servants so well, if the servants accept it with peace of mind, then the servants don't understand the rules!"

Concubine Zhen Guifei covered her mouth with a smile, and said: "Your sister is an imperial court lady after all, she just needs to be more respectful than other people!"

Xinyi thanked the compliment, it was very good, so she said: "I remember the first time I saw the maidservant, the maidservant gave a box of Yuyan ointment to the maidservant, I wonder if the maidservant remembers it?"

After Zhen Guifei heard this, she looked at Chen Shanggong, nodded and asked, "What do you mean by my sister's words?"

Xinyi said: "Your Majesty treats your servants with such affection, how can your servants not be grateful! Because of this, your servants must report this matter to Your Majesty Ming, please be careful!"

Concubine Zhen picked up her teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "What's the matter? Tell me!"

"It's the jade face paste," Xinyi said, "My lady rewarded my servant, and this servant is very grateful. But when I went back that day, my servant talked about my mother's great favor with the two little maids who served her. The servants are curious, why are you always so charming, the imperial concubine? The servants are thinking, firstly, you are a natural beauty, and secondly, I am afraid that the skin care products you use on a daily basis are different!"

Concubine Zhen and Chen Shanggong laughed.

Xinyi continued: "The servants have already formed this appearance, even the beauty of your little finger is not as good as yours. I just want to make up for it with diligence and find some high-quality skin care products to maintain it. Let the slaves see some of them!"

Hearing what Xinyi said, Concubine Zhen and Chen Shanggong sighed endlessly.

"The slaves and servants thought so, so they dared to try out the reward from the empress together!" Xinyi said, but hurriedly knelt down, and said, "The reward from the empress, slaves should not be passed on to others, please punish the empress!"

"That's all, you get up and continue," Zhen Guifei said, "What happened afterwards?"

Xinyi stood up and said: "My lady, the servant and the two maids tried it together, but, look at the face of the servant, there are many red spots."

Chen Shanggong walked in front of Xinyi with the help of Concubine Zhen, and saw that it was indeed so.

"How could this be?" Concubine Zhen asked in shock.

Xinyi was full of grievances, and said: "Perhaps the servant girl has thick skin, and there is only a slight abnormality. However, the condition of the two servant girls is much more serious, and the imperial doctor has been invited to look at it. The imperial doctor said that it will take half a year for the wound to heal." .”

Zhen Guifei showed a sad look on her face, but she remained silent.

"Your servant is fine, but I just thought about it. This thing was given to my servant by my mother. Moreover, this object was not made by your own hands. Could it be that someone wanted to poison you, so I made it in Yuyan ointment?" Hands and feet?" Xinyi said, observing Concubine Zhen carefully, but there was nothing abnormal in Concubine Zhen's expression, everything was as Xinyi expected: she knew about this a long time ago!
Thinking of this, Xinyi felt a little more at ease, and continued: "This servant is grateful for your mother's great kindness, and with this thought in her heart, she hastened to report to her!"

After that, she also fell silent, waiting for Concubine Zhen's answer.

After a while, Concubine Zhen smiled and said: "Sister, you are a caring person!" Then she took out a silk handkerchief, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said: "To be honest, the object was given to me by the queen, the queen Why would you treat me like this?"

Chen Shanggong hurriedly comforted her, and she continued: "Sister, I'm the one who got you into trouble, woo woo!"

And wept bitterly.

"I have been in the palace to accompany the holy driver since I was a child, and no one feels sorry for me. If the emperor didn't take pity on me, I would be the most pitiful person in the world!" Concubine Zhen became more and more excited as she spoke, Xinyi just waited quietly.

Concubine Zhen took Xinyi's hand and said, "It's rare that you are so caring, sister. If it wasn't for you, I, I would—"

"My lady, please don't be sad, don't cry and break your body!" Xinyi persuaded.

Concubine Zhen wiped away her tears, and heard Chen Shanggong ask: "Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Xinyi is most concerned about the following words.

"This matter involves the empress, so I have to think carefully and take every step seriously, otherwise I will startle the snake!" Concubine Zhen said, "Sister Xinyi, thanks to you reminding me of this matter. However, we have to continue Please trouble your sister!"

"My lady, please tell me!" Xinyi said, but she had already guessed what the imperial concubine was going to say.

The noble concubine said with a smile: "I will look for opportunities to raise this matter with the Lafayette and the emperor, but, if there is any news about this kind of matter, it will be a waste of time, so—"

"Please don't worry, ma'am, this servant will never say a word!" Xinyi saluted.

The imperial concubine held her hand and said: "Sister, this time you and I won this battle together, in the future, I will never treat you badly!"

With a smile on her face, Xinyi bowed and saluted, "Even if my servant is going through fire and water, I will not hesitate to do so!"

Concubine Zhen helped her up with a smile, and sighed: "It's really hard for my sister! My sister is like this now, if the emperor sees it, it is my fault!"

Xinyi replied: "The servants are just serving tea and water, the emperor doesn't care about the appearance of the servants, the empress doesn't care!"

Zhen Guifei said a few more polite words, and Xinyi left.

Seeing her leave, Chen Shanggong heard Zhen Guifei say: "This girl is really a troublesome master!"

"Who says it's not? Look at the meaning behind what she said. It's clear that she knew that you were involved in this matter, but she pretended to be loyal to her, and she was thinking of her in everything. This kind of person, Sooner or later it will be a disaster!" Chen Shanggong said.

Concubine Zhen nodded and said: "Even if it's a disaster, I have to keep her and me to deal with the queen for the time being!"

"When I sit in the middle palace, she, Zhuang Xinyi, naturally has no need to exist!" As she said, a murderous look flashed in her eyes.

But Chen Shanggong said: "Mother, why do you insist on wooing her? What can she be useful for?"

"You don't even think about it, how did she become the emperor's personal servant from a poor court lady? Either someone facilitated this, or there was a past between her and the emperor that no one else knew. Otherwise, so many people stared at her. Where can she get that seat?" Concubine Zhen said.

Chen Shanggong nodded, and said: "If there is someone who contributed to that, that person must be Lafayette or Princess Antai. Only they can let the emperor hand-pick Zhuang Xinyi. But how could she, Zhuang Xinyi, be favored by Lafayette?"

Concubine Zhen pondered: "However, it seems wrong to say that Lafayette or Princess Antai sent to the emperor. According to Lafayette's way of doing things, he would not choose someone like Zhuang Xinyi! Because Lafayette doesn't like her." Her, this is the most important thing!"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean—"

"Zhuang Xinyi must have some past with the emperor, otherwise, would the emperor take her to Tiger Roaring Camp?" Zhen Guifei said, "However, it is a strange thing that she took the initiative to form an alliance with me?"

Chen Shanggong said: "Your Majesty's words are very true! Since she is a person in front of the emperor, why did she come to the harem to form an alliance with you, Madam? Could it be that her purpose is also the position of the harem?"

Concubine Zhen glanced at Chen Shanggong, sighed, and said: "It's not impossible! She is just a palace maid, if there is no one to help, even if she is favored and made a concubine, it may not be easy!"

After all, the imperial concubine sneered and said: "It seems that this palace really has to take good care of this girl!"

Xinyi walked out of Yulan Hall, and only carefully washed off the fake makeup on her face when she returned to her room.

When she was in the Valley of No Mind, she also learned superb makeup skills. She can draw any kind of makeup, and it can definitely achieve the effect of being fake. Just now, even Concubine Zhen Gui and Chen Shanggong didn't recognize Xinyi's face The wounds on it are fake.

Concubine Zhen obviously wanted Qiao'er and Lian'er to keep the tragic situation until the day she needed it. It was too cruel for the two court ladies, and Xinyi couldn't stand it.What's more, Xinyi has already ordered medical medication for them, so she has to find a way to prevent her lies from being exposed.

Because of what happened last night and morning, Ming Xuanyu didn't summon Xinyi all day today. Although she was also very tired, there was no time for her to rest at all.

She first called Qiao'er and Lian'er into her room, and revealed the serious relationship.

"My empress means that I can no longer heal you," Xinyi said, and the two maids knelt down and cried bitterly.Xinyi helped them up, and said: "We are all slaves, involved in the master's affairs, no matter good or bad, we have to be punished. If we want to pass the test safely, we have to unite, do you understand?"

Lian'er wiped her tears and said, "Your servant, your servant will obey your lord's orders!" Qiao'er also shed tears and nodded.

Xinyi then said: "This matter has a lot to do with it, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs may come to investigate. You guys have to think it through!"

"My lord, the slaves will do what you say! Never reveal a word!" The two said.

"Well, as long as you listen to me obediently, I, Zhuang Xinyi, will definitely keep you safe!" Xinyi said.

She knew that she and the two maids were tools used by the imperial concubine to attack the queen, how could she keep them!But now, they have to say this to calm their hearts.

With that in mind, she told them her plan.

She will continue to heal their wounds, but to make them successfully pass various inspections, it depends on her extraordinary makeup skills.

After An Xin sent the two court ladies away, Xinyi began to plan her own countermeasures.

However, at this moment, a person knocked on the door and came in. It was none other than Lan Zhen's former subordinate, Xiufang.

Xinyi also recognized her, but she was just wondering, wasn't she caught in charge of criminal justice?Why did it come out so soon?Looking at her like this, she doesn't seem to have suffered anything!
So, what is Xiufang's role in Lan Zhen's case?
"My lord, why don't you rest for a while? Since you are innocent, you should rest for a while before coming back!" Xinyi poured two cups of tea and said with a smile.

"Your Excellency cares so much about my subordinates, I really don't dare to be one!" Xiufang saluted.

Then, Xinyi learned about Zhang De's advice to Xiufang to rest in the morning, but she didn't expect that it was Hu Sheng who kept Xiufang in the end.

Could it be that Xiufang is also a member of the organization?

However, judging by the way she speaks, she may not know Xinyi's origin, so Xiufang's background is questionable.

"Your Excellency, you have followed Master Lan for many years. Since you don't dislike me as a newcomer, and you are not afraid of being wronged under my hands, I don't have much to say! You just stay!" Xinyi said, and Xiufang saluted.

"I also don't understand a lot of things, so following me will definitely be harder than Mrs. Lan, please be more patient!" Xinyi continued, after a few words of politeness, she sent Xiufang out.

Xinyi collapsed on the bed, although she was not on duty today, she was much more tired than usual.

The maid brought lunch, she ate some casually, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
