Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

Chapter 280 Green Prairie

Emperor Suwen was in a very good mood at the morning court today. After all, he found that none of his ministers had made any memorials, which was really beyond his expectations.

Especially the Imperial Censor who usually loves to nag and find fault, was unusually quiet today, like a well-behaved rabbit.

You know, in the past this Chief Censor was the most talkative person in the court, but now without his noise, the whole morning court is so comfortable!

"My dear ministers, do you have anything to report? If not, you may all go away!" Emperor Suwen was secretly delighted in his heart, and his feet were as fast as if they were greased. Before everyone could react, he had already impatiently rushed towards the Queen's bedroom.

Following closely behind him was the eunuch Liu who had been serving him closely. He always had a strange feeling in his heart that something was wrong with the emperor recently, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

However, he did notice that Emperor Suwen went to the Queen's bedroom almost every day recently, as if they had returned to the loving and sweet days when they were newly married.

At this moment, in Rong Fei's bedroom, Rong Fei was dressing up carefully.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor hasn't come to see you for many days. Aren't you anxious? Why don't we take the initiative? I heard that the Emperor hasn't been anywhere recently, not even to Concubine Shu's place. He stays with Your Majesty all day long. He really only favors Your Majesty!" Rong Fei's personal maid muttered softly while combing the Queen's hair.

"Zi'er, don't say such things casually. The Queen is the Empress of the Eastern Palace. It is natural for the Emperor and the Queen to have deep feelings for each other," Concubine Rong said pretending to be indifferent.

"Your Highness, I know that you are concerned about the Emperor. Every time the Emperor comes, your eyes are gentle. Although I don't understand love, I can see that Your Highness has the Emperor in her heart."

"Zi'er, the emperor is not just my emperor. I feel bitter in my heart. Over the years, I have not fought or competed for the sake of the prince. I thought I would never care about him again, but when I see him favoring other women, I feel very uncomfortable."

Rong Fei's eyes flashed with a trace of loneliness, and she said in a slightly low voice: "Over the years, I have been trying hard to restrain my inner feelings and dare not show them easily. But every time I see the emperor getting close to other women, an uncontrollable sadness will surge in my heart."

Zi'er looked at Rong Fei distressedly and said softly, "Your Majesty, I understand your difficulties. You have sacrificed too much for the emperor, but sometimes, emotions are not completely controlled by reason. I believe that the emperor also has true feelings for you, but he is just unable to control himself."

"Yes, how could I not know that?" Rong Fei sighed softly, her eyes becoming a little blurry, as if she was recalling every little bit of the past. She slowly said: "When I first entered the palace, I was only concerned about the glory of my family, and never thought that I would fall in love with the emperor. However, as time went by, the emperor's care and consideration gradually melted my heart, and I couldn't help but fall into it."

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not?" Zi'er suddenly mustered up the courage to ask.

Rong Fei frowned slightly and looked at Zi Er in confusion: "We are master and servant, what else should we talk about? Who else can I use besides you? If you have anything to say, just tell me. I am not a dictatorial person. I know that honest advice is unpleasant to the ear but beneficial to action."

Zi'er gritted her teeth and mustered up the courage to speak: "Your Majesty, I think you can't go on like this. You should take the initiative to win the emperor's attention and favor instead of waiting silently. Only in this way can the emperor truly realize your importance."

After hearing this, Concubine Rong was silent for a moment, then shook her head and said with a bitter smile: "Zi'er, I want to do the same thing, but reality forces me to maintain the status quo. If I compete for favor, it will definitely cause jealousy and resentment in the harem, and may even affect the status of the emperor. I can't lose everything because of a momentary impulse."

"Are we just going to give up like this?" Zi'er asked unwillingly.

Concubine Rong gently stroked the hairpin in her hand, with a determined light in her eyes: "Of course not! Although I will not compete for favor, I will continue to protect the emperor and the prince in my own way. As long as I have love in my heart, I can live a fulfilling life even without the emperor's favor. Moreover, one day, I will let the emperor return to my side again."

After saying this, Concubine Rong inserted the hairpin into her bun, smiled at the mirror, and her eyes revealed an unspeakable firmness and determination.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor goes to the Queen's palace every day. I don't know if the Queen can get pregnant at that age. If that's the case, it won't be a good thing for the Third Prince. The Second Prince is the legitimate son after all, so we have to make plans early," Zi'er continued to persuade.

"Zi'er, stop talking. I know everything. The Imperial Concubine Shu is very favored and arrogant. Why don't we let them fight for it and then reap the benefits? Do you think Li Shulan doesn't know the whereabouts of the Emperor?" Concubine Rong said in a neutral tone, as if she really didn't care.

Zi'er felt a little distressed when she saw Concubine Rong's restrained look. She knew very well what Concubine Rong was planning. As Concubine Rong's personal maid, how could she not understand Concubine Rong?

"Since your majesty thinks so, it is indeed true. Now that the Imperial Concubine Shu is pregnant, she is very arrogant and domineering. I heard that she killed many palace maids and eunuchs. And the other day I saw Imperial Concubine Shu in the Imperial Garden, and she seemed to be very intimate with a eunuch beside her!"

"Zi'er. Go and prepare some gifts, no supplements, and accompany me to see Concubine Shu and have a chat with her," Concubine Rong said with a wry smile.

Zi'er was also a smart person. She knew Rong Fei's plan very well, so she chose some ordinary gifts. There was no food or daily necessities at all. She also understood that even if something happened to the child in Shu Guifei's belly, it would not concern Rong Fei. It must be said that both the master and the servant were thoughtful people.

Concubine Shu was already pregnant, and she looked much fuller and more charming. She no longer cared whether the emperor would come to her bedroom or not. She even spent money to make everyone in the palace her own confidant, and spent every day hanging out with the eunuch in the bedroom.

On this day, the little eunuch was lying on Concubine Shu's belly, listening to the fetal movements. The two of them were like an ordinary couple, and the atmosphere was very warm.

"Lan'er. I haven't been in high spirits these days. I miss you so much today, why don't I serve you?" The little eunuch pinched the snow-white breasts of Concubine Shu with one hand and supported her waist with the other. Concubine Shu made a sound that made people think of Yingning.

"You, please be careful. The doctor said that we can have sex, but you better be careful. I really want to have sex with you." Concubine Shu blushed and soon she gasped under the teasing of the young eunuch.

Concubine Rong was dressed up beautifully and walked towards Concubine Shu's palace with Zi'er. The master and servant were talking and laughing. The palace maid guarding the door of Concubine Shu's bedroom turned pale with fright.

The maid ran in hurriedly and told the maid who was guarding outside the room. The maid calmly asked the maid to go down, and then she prepared to go in and call Concubine Shu.

Who knew that there would be a series of embarrassing sounds coming from the room. The old nanny's face turned red, and she shook her head helplessly, and finally she coughed loudly.

The young eunuch in the room was at a critical moment. When he heard the nanny's cough, he was frightened and instantly collapsed. This made Concubine Shu very depressed.

Concubine Shu hurriedly stood up and asked the eunuch to hide quickly. Then the nanny came in and helped Concubine Shu change her clothes.

"Your Majesty, please be more careful in the future. You are getting worse and worse. If this incident is discovered in broad daylight, we will all lose our heads. Concubine Rong is here with the palace maids, and they may be at the door by now," the nanny said in a low voice.

Concubine Shu's face flushed, and the room was filled with a strong smell of lust. She sneered and said, "What on earth does the Luo family want to do? Concubine Rong actually came to see me. It seems that I have no choice but to say no." After saying that, Concubine Shu sat upright and pretended to drink tea...

The eunuch hiding under the bed didn't dare to breathe. He didn't even have time to put on his clothes. He cursed in his heart, "Damn Concubine Rong, why did she come now instead of earlier or later?" Thinking of how he had just been interrupted, he felt even more angry!
