Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 423: 9th Son Reports

Cining Palace.

"Aunt, why don't you say anything? Are you afraid of Concubine Ye?"

Xu Rou became anxious and spoke out what was in her heart.

The Queen Mother raised her eyelids and looked at the blurry, colorful face in front of her.

If it were in the past, she would definitely scold Xu Rou and ask her to pay attention to her appearance.

Because she has always been training Xu Rou to be the queen.

Now...

With her lack of ambition and impulsive temper, let alone the emperor...

Even she herself felt that letting her niece become the queen was a little unsatisfactory.

"What do you think about this matter?"

The Queen Mother ignored Xu Rou and turned to ask Shi Yaoyao.

Shi Yaoyao looked around the yard.

There were only three of them in the yard now, and the other two were servants serving them.

She can trust her Lian'er, and she also says Qiu Die beside Xu Rou can be trusted.

As for Jiuer who was beside the Empress Dowager, she used to be from the Cining Palace and was trusted by the Empress Dowager.

It should be said that there are no outsiders in the courtyard of the inner hall of the Cining Palace now.

"Empress Dowager, I think you have to step in on this matter. Others..."

Shi Yaoyao pretended to be embarrassed.

"Besides you, only the emperor can take care of this matter..."

"The Emperor's uncle was busy protecting that bitch, how could he possibly care about this?"

Xu Rou screamed again.

"That old thing, let's not talk about it."

The Queen Mother also said this angrily.

"Then we only have two options now. One option is to ignore it and let it go."

Shi Yaoyao looked very helpless.

"How is it possible? How can we let that bitch off so easily? She deserves to die... damn it..."

Xu Rou stomped her feet like a madman and screamed.

"The second option is for the Queen Mother to personally come forward and charge Concubine Ye with the crime of committing adultery in the harem."

Shi Yaoyao said slowly.

She has already thrown out the bait, and it depends on whether this fool Xu Bin will take the bait.

"Aunt, that Concubine Ye hurt you so badly, you can't let her go this time..."

Xu Rou's IQ started to improve at this time.

"This opportunity is rare. The palace rules of the Great Xia Dynasty clearly state that concubines cannot spend the night in the Yangxin Palace."

The Queen Mother knew that this was an opportunity.

but…

"You just keep yelling. Tell me, is there anyone else available in my Cining Palace?"

The Queen Mother was also extremely upset.

"I would like to punish her, but who would listen to me, the Queen Mother, now..."

She gasped.

"Will the Ministry of Punishment listen to me? Or will the emperor listen to me? Including the people in the Cining Palace..."

The Queen Mother was so angry that she no longer called herself "Aijia".

"Everyone in the Cining Palace is the emperor's man. If I wanted to do something, they would have reported it to the emperor long ago."

She is now a queen mother without any help and has no manpower at her disposal.

How could she punish Concubine Ye?

Xu Rou thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

"So... is this matter over?"

This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.

A queen mother was actually unable to do anything to a concubine.

Shi Yaoyao was also upset. She knew the situation of the Cining Palace better than the empress dowager.

It’s a pity that Concubine Ye missed such a good opportunity.

"In the harem, we can't do anything to Concubine Ye. If someone brings this up in the court..."

The Queen Mother pondered.

"Then her crime of having an adulterous harem is confirmed..."

Xu Rou excitedly took over her words.

The Queen Mother rolled her eyes at her.

"Then someone has to go to the court and say it..."

The key point is that at this time, who would dare to talk about these trivial matters that have nothing to do with the current situation in the court?

Doesn't it have anything to do with the current situation?

The Queen Mother suddenly smiled.

She knew where to start.

Beijing.

Originally, the common people in the capital all knew about the war between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Southern Zhao Kingdom.

How dare a tiny country like Nanzhao dare to challenge the Great Xia Empire? Isn't this courting death?

Since they want to die, just grant their wish.

Therefore, the war in the front has little impact on the people in the capital.

After all, Nanzhao is so far away from the capital, and it is impossible to attack the capital.

However, gradually, a rumor spread in the capital.

It is called a rumor because it is not credible.

This rumor said that ever since the Great Xia Dynasty went to war with the Southern Zhao Kingdom, the Great Xia Dynasty had been invincible.

Now the people of Nanzhao Kingdom are almost driven back to their lair.

But recently, something went wrong.

The army of the Great Xia Dynasty was infected with plague.

This plague is not simple, it is related to the harem.

It was because there was a concubine in the harem who couldn't stand the loneliness and openly spent the night in the Yangxin Palace.

This angered the gods, who sent down the plague to punish the royal family of the Great Xia Dynasty.

When this news first came out, not many people believed it.

After all, for these matters, only the information released by the official authorities can be counted.

But this is just so strange.

As more and more people knew about this.

The story became more and more convincing.

People finally found out that the concubine in the promiscuous palace was actually the daughter of Minister Huang.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Huang Ye was reading the letter brought back by the prince.

That’s right, the prince has returned from Fanjing Mountain.

She also brought back a letter from her master.

Master’s letter was very simple.

The letter said that Jingzhen received a letter from Huang Ye and immediately went to the front line to save people.

Guanzhen knew that the matter was of great importance, and she was worried about Jingzhen going on the journey alone.

So she handed over the affairs of the nunnery to Lingyu and accompanied Jingzhen to the front line.

Only then did Huang Ye feel completely relieved.

With her master, a martial arts master, around, she no longer has to worry about the safety of her second master.

And the letter in her hand was written by his eldest brother.

Huang Ye knew about this rumor on the first day it spread in the capital.

This is thanks to Jiuer's tip-off.

The spread of rumors in the capital was planned by the Queen Mother and Shi Yaoyao behind Xu Rou's back.

The Queen Mother was afraid that Xu Rou might talk nonsense and reveal what they were planning.

That way they wouldn't be able to escape.

So Qiu Die didn't know about this either.

And the person guarding the gate of Cining Palace now is Xiao Yinzi's man.

Xiaoyinzi told Jiuer about it.

If she heard anything about Concubine Ye, she could tell the eunuch at the gate if she thought it was useful.

Because Xiao Yinzi knew that Concubine Ye had saved Jiuer.

Jiuer agreed without hesitation.

She also wanted to repay the kind-hearted empress, and she didn't want anything to happen to her.

So after hearing the conspiracy between the Queen Mother and Shi Yaoyao, she lied, went out and told the eunuch in the gatehouse about it.

The eunuch knew that the matter was of great importance, so he did not delay and sent someone to report to Xiao Yinzi directly.

If Xiaoyinzi knows it, then Huang Ye would know it too, right?
