Chapter 192 Conspiracy
No one expected that such an episode would occur in the banquet that should have ended successfully.
On the corridor outside the main hall, the ministers and families were raising their heads to admire the eternal lights in the sky.
The lights were like a galaxy hanging upside down, and the ladies gathered together in groups of three or two, chatting in a low voice, or enjoying the lanterns and viewing the scenery, which was a peaceful scene.
Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps broke the tranquility. A palace maid ran from the end of the corridor in panic, her face flushed and her expression flustered, as if she had seen something unspeakable.
Which of the ladies present has been struggling in the back house for many years? With just one glance, it was no accident that the appearance of this palace maid was not accidental. They exchanged meaningful eyes, but they both remained silent in tacit understanding. After all, it is rare to see such a good show in this deep palace.
Mrs. Gu Xie Nian’s heart tightened, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost crushed. She knew very well these methods of back home, and this was clearly a situation that someone deliberately arranged. At today’s banquet, the Gu family’s position was not clear, and Yun Xuan has not returned yet… She dared not think about it anymore, so she could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that her daughter could get rid of the danger and hope that her son could break the deadlock in time.
"Bold slave! “Concubine Chen’s personal nanny shouted loudly, “How dare you disturb the Concubine and your wives? What should you blame?” "
The palace maid was dragged by two eunuchs to Concubine Chen, knelt down with a pounce, and kowtowed repeatedly: " Immortal, forgive me for your crime! I didn’t mean it…"
“Say! What’s the point of being in a panic?!” There was a hint of majesty and displeasure in Concubine Chen’s voice.
The palace maid who was originally panicked said a little quick tone: “Imperial Concubine, I did not intend to do it, please forgive me.” As she said that, she kowtowed a few times to the ground, put her forehead on the cold ground, making a slight sound.
Concubine Chen was calculating in her heart. Seeing that the time was almost right, she waved her hand, “Forget it, today is the birthday of the Empress Dowager, and it is indeed unlucky to see blood.”
“Thank you, Concubine! Thank you, Concubine!” The palace maid said with gratitude.
Concubine Chen sat upright on the soft chair, playing with a string of jade rosary in her hand, with an indifferent expression: “Forget it, today is the birthday of the empress dowager, so it is not advisable to see blood.” Tell me, why are you so panicked? "
The nanny beside Concubine Chen looked at Concubine Chen’s face, turned around and raised the palace maid’s chin, her tone was not friendly, “Empress, be kind, why don’t you explain the whole story clearly?”
The palace maid’s face, which was originally a little pale, turned red in an instant, and there was a little hesitation in her tone, as if this matter was so difficult to speak of.
“Why don’t you tell me honestly!” The nanny looked at the palace maid kneeling on the ground and looked timid. She was both satisfied and a little impatient. She should be at ease.Arrange a more clever palace maid.
“I…I, I will go to Cui’an Palace to check as usual tonight, but I saw…I saw…” The palace maid seemed to be frightened by the sudden cold shout of the nanny, and was shocked, “I saw a man and a woman…” The palace maid’s voice became smaller and smaller, and finally it was almost inaudible.
Even if she didn’t say anything later, how could the people present not know?
Everyone present took a breath. The rosary in Concubine Chen paused, and her face suddenly changed: “Bold!” I dare to do this miserable thing in the palace on the birthday of the Empress Dowager! Can the palace rules be arranged? "
She stood up suddenly, and her sleeves flew: "Come! Follow this palace to Cui’an Palace! "
“Empress, calm down!” After all, he is a person who temporarily served the Phoenix Seal and was deeply favored by His Majesty. The ladies immediately salute and comfort him.
“It’s still a while before the banquet will last. Ladies will do it themselves. I have something to do. Let’s take a step forward.” Concubine Chen calmed down and held the nanny’s hand and walked towards Cui’an Palace.
The ladies looked at each other, but they all followed tacitly. Who would have missed such a bustle?
Xie Nian walked at the end, and cold sweat was already pouring out of her palms. She knew too well about Concubine Chen’s methods. Today’s play was clearly aimed at the Gu family. I just hope Yun Xuan can escape in time…
The former Concubine Xie was also favored. The Cui’an Hall where she lived was not far from the main hall. In a little more than a quarter of an hour, Concubine Chen arrived at the gate of the palace, and the ladies also followed Concubine Chen.
When everyone came to the door of the Cui’an Hall, the lights were weak, but the man’s breathing and the woman’s moans came one after another. Even the ladies who had already given birth to children were blushing when they heard this.
A hint of anger appeared on Concubine Chen’s face. Unfortunately, if you look closely, you will find that the satisfaction of the plan that flashed through her eyes.
A trace of pride flashed in Concubine Chen’s eyes, but was quickly replaced by the anger he pretended to be: “Come here!” Breaking open the palace door for this palace! "
Several eunuchs immediately stepped forward and knocked open the hall door in a few seconds. The sound in the hall ended abruptly.
Concubine Chen took the lead in stepping into the hall, and all the wives followed closely. I saw a mess in the hall, with men and women scattered on the ground, and the curtains on the bed were hanging low, and two entangled figures could be seen vaguely.
"Bold! "Concubine Chen shouted angrily, “Don’t you get out yet!” "
The bed curtain was suddenly lifted, and a disheveled man rolled out of the bed in panic. Everyone looked closely and found that it was the fifth prince Xiao Qi!
When Concubine Chen saw that the person kneeling on the ground was her son, satisfaction flashed through her eyes, and she felt that her plan had been implemented smoothly.
No one expected that such an episode would occur in the banquet that should have ended successfully.
