Chapter 456: Those who are favored are fearless
Nangong Xuanyu had so many political affairs to deal with, so it was naturally impossible for him to stay with Concubine Liang all night.
He looked at Ruoli and said, "Just take good care of Concubine Liang and use your merits to atone for your sins. If anything happens to Concubine Liang, I will not forgive you!"
Ruoli's heart trembled, and she said quickly: "I obey your command!"
"When Concubine Liang wakes up, send someone to tell me."
"Yes."
Ruoli is really happy for the Empress!
As there was a snake plague in Chengqian Palace, His Majesty did not conclude that it was the Empress who did it because of insufficient evidence, but the Empress eventually lost His Majesty's favor.
Now, because of the imperial concubine’s arrogance, His Majesty finally sees the grievances suffered by the good concubine!
Maybe this is what it means when good people are rewarded.
Nangong Xuanyu walked out, and when he passed by the group of beautiful women, he suddenly paused and asked, "Which one is Concubine Hao?"
He listened to Li Changde's report of the whole story. The reason why Concubine Liang was able to come out of Qin'an Palace this time was entirely due to Concubine Hao mobilizing the palace concubines who had been favored by Concubine Liang in the past to meet the emperor in the Yangxin Palace.
He is a grateful person and has great courage.
Concubine Hao was delighted and quickly stepped forward to bow, saying shyly, "Your Majesty, I greet you!"
No woman who could enter the palace was ugly, no matter her rank or status or whether she was favored or not.
Even in the palace, she was only considered an ordinary-looking woman, but she was a rare beauty outside.
Concubine Hao had been out of favor for a long time, so naturally she was not the type to be stunning at first sight. But she had delicate features and a gentle temperament, and was also a graceful and elegant girl from a small family.
The most important thing is that it is fresh.
Nangong Xuanyu didn't say anything else, just nodded slightly to signal her to stand up, then strode away.
This made Concubine Hao very uneasy.
Does Your Majesty like her or not?
If she doesn't catch His Majesty's eye, she will have to continue living a life without favor...
No one was favored, only Concubine Hao was remembered by His Majesty and even spoke to His Majesty. It would be a lie for the concubines around to say they were not envious and jealous.
But they stood up for Concubine Liang's past favor, which meant that they were not bad people. Although they felt a little uncomfortable, no one targeted Concubine Hao.
They still look affectionate and harmonious with each other like sisters.
……
Yongshou Palace.
Concubine Liu was originally at the desk, writing a letter to Liu Shizhang, telling him to take good care of himself when he went to the border.
Many of the generals in the army were his father's former subordinates. After he passed away, they would take care of him for his father's sake.
When she finds an opportunity, she will beg His Majesty to transfer him back to the capital.
But who knows...
As soon as she finished writing the letter, Concubine Liu received news from the imperial court.
Your Majesty not only released the bitch Concubine Liang from Qin'an Palace, but also scolded her severely!
His Majesty actually said, actually said that if she didn't have the tolerance to manage the harem, there would be many capable concubines in the harem. He didn't want to see such a thing again!
Doesn't this mean... that someone else will replace her?
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how could you be so cruel to her just for Concubine Liang? !
In the past, Concubine Liu would definitely be heartbroken.
But now, besides sadness, she felt more angry and a sense of crisis.
Concubine Liu raised her head, forced back the tears that welled up in her eyes, and said through gritted teeth, "There is an order of seniority and distinction between the noble and the humble. Concubine Liang is only a fourth concubine, and I am a concubine! How can Your Majesty lose face for Concubine Liang?"
"In your Majesty's heart, do you still regard me as a noble concubine who assists in managing the six palaces?!"
Could it be that in the end, she not only lost the heart of His Majesty, but also lost the power in her hands...
Cuizhu quickly advised: "Madam, you are honest and upright, how can you compare with Madam Liang who is good at acting?"
"She just has a fever, but she's pretending to be dying. Your Majesty will surely take pity on her!"
"At this time, you must not offend His Majesty again, otherwise you will fall into the trap of Concubine Liang."
Concubine Liu's eyes were filled with hatred: "I clearly gave her the quilt, but that bitch pretended to be a good person and froze herself to the point of catching a cold. She acted so pitiful in front of Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty just falls for it!"
Xiaohuazi couldn't help but feel a little regretful at this time.
If he had known that the guards would come to report, he would have advised the Imperial Concubine to release Concubine Liang first.
In this way, things wouldn't have come to this point.
Xiao Huazi was afraid of being angered by Concubine Liu, so he quickly tried to find a way to make amends: "Your Majesty, in the palace, temporary success or failure is nothing. The one who laughs the most is the winner!"
"Empress Liang is a very scheming woman. She pretended to be pitiful in front of His Majesty this time and gained His Majesty's favoritism. You can also learn her tricks and deal with her!"
"You are much more important to His Majesty than Concubine Liang. If you bow your head, will His Majesty still have the heart to blame you?"
Concubine Liu understood that since the matter had been brought to His Majesty's attention, she could no longer use overt means to deal with Concubine Liang. She had to show weakness and admit her mistakes to His Majesty in order to win back His Majesty's heart.
But as soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he made her a noble concubine. Unlike many concubines in the harem, she climbed up step by step from a low position.
In addition to her impressive family background, Concubine Liu had never suffered any hardship since she was a child.
She could try every possible way to please His Majesty in order to win his favor, but how could Concubine Liu lower her head to apologize to His Majesty because of that bitch, Concubine Liang?
"impossible!"
"I will never let that bitch, Concubine Liang, or anyone in the palace, laugh at me!"
Even if His Majesty blames her for this, she will not admit her mistake!
Concubine Liang! They just keep walking and see!
Although Cuizhu and Xiaohuazi had a headache, they also knew the temper of the imperial concubine, and they could not persuade her...
Concubine Liu sat on the chair with a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.
In fact, there is another reason why she is so confident -
So what if she treated Concubine Liang like that and caused her to have a high fever?
His Majesty only gave her a verbal reprimand and did not impose any substantial punishment.
After all, His Majesty was reluctant to punish her.
People who are favored will have nothing to fear.
Who knew that at this moment, a palace maid came in and said, "My lady, the eunuch in front of the emperor has come with the imperial edict."
Concubine Liu's heart skipped a beat, and she inexplicably had a bad feeling: "Let him in."
Seeing the young eunuch, Concubine Liu quickly asked, "But what instructions does your Majesty have?"
The young eunuch raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and cursed Li Changde a thousand times in his heart!
Eunuch Li didn't do this thankless task himself, nor did he let his apprentices come, but asked him to do it.
He is totally inhumane!
Although he was thinking this, the young eunuch did not dare to show any abnormality on his face. After bowing, he said with a stiff face, "My Lady Concubine, His Majesty has ordered that you kneel in the Qin'an Palace tonight and reflect on yourself!"
