Chapter 309 The Queen Mother is so petty
Chapter 309 The Queen Mother is so petty
The Queen Mother had already reminded him so clearly, so Lu Xinran naturally had to look back on the past.
But in her opinion, these are nothing beautiful, just a pot of flowers... When did the Queen Mother become so stingy?
Although she wanted to complain, her true feelings were most easily heard when she was just spectating, so she immediately collected her thoughts and started to express herself in a targeted manner.
[That basin of national beauty, eh, this Concubine Qi doesn't know what's going on either. ]
[She also thought that the Queen Mother felt that she could not win the fight, so she destroyed the flowers on purpose to disgust her.]
[After so many years, she still thinks about this incident, but many people are no longer around, and she doesn’t know who destroyed the flower.]
Queen Mother: “?!!”
So she had been wrongly blaming Concubine Qi for all these years?
But, she was the only one fighting with herself for that pot of flowers back then, so how could outsiders be involved?
If she didn't believe that Lu Xinran's thoughts were always correct, she would have thought she had seen it wrong.
Concubine Qi was kneeling on the ground, her body still trembling slightly. It was an old event that happened so many years ago... The Empress Dowager still remembered it.
Does that mean that she has to revisit all the tricks they used against each other when they were competing for favor?
She was already a little flustered, and the empress dowager just sighed softly and let her sit back on the stool.
"These past events now seem like they happened in a previous life."
It has been so long now that there is no chance to find the truth.
Lu Xinran echoed the sigh just right, and the Princess of Chu and the Princess of Jin also echoed her, and they all tried their best to coax the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother just sighed for a moment, then smiled again with narrowed eyes when she heard that they cared so much about her.
"I'm old now, so I tend to recall things from the past, like when Concubine Xu and I fell into the water together."
The legs of Concubine Xu, who was lifted up by her, went limp and she slid to her knees on the ground.
"Back then, it was my sister's fault that caused the queen to fall into the water."
"Hey, how can I blame you? Were we not in the water together? I still remember that the late emperor visited you and sent a lot of supplements to your palace."
Lu Xinran and the others: "..."
So, does the Empress Dowager have a good memory, or is she really not very narrow-minded?
Even though it happened so long ago, I still remember every detail clearly.
Concubine Xu didn't expect to hear her say this, and she knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Yes, it's my fault. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
The Queen Mother waved her hand to signal her to sit up quickly, but her eyes fell on Lu Xinran.
Lu Xinran immediately obediently opened the booklet of Concubine Xu, but it was a long time old and it took a lot of time to find it.
[It was really an accident that year! 】
[It can’t be said to be a pure accident. The moss under their feet came from nowhere. They were so busy competing with each other that neither of them paid attention to their feet.]
[The palace maids around them were also far away. After the two of them finished their sexual intercourse with each other, they were about to leave. As a result, the Queen Mother slipped first, and she subconsciously pulled Concubine Xu's arm.]
[When Concubine Xu was pulled by her, her feet began to slip. She was standing closer to the water's edge, and her body became unstable, so she fell directly into the water.]
[The Queen Mother was also dragged into the water because she was holding her.]
[After they fell into the water, the palace servants all tried to rescue them in a panic, and the moss was flattened by everyone's footsteps.]
[When they returned to the palace to recover, they could no longer find any trace of them by the lake.]
[Xu Taifei felt that the Queen Mother deliberately framed her, and the Queen Mother also felt that this was a trick that Xu Taifei used to win favor.]
[The two of them became even more hostile to each other because of this incident, and neither of them thought that someone had deliberately framed them. ]
[Well, it can't be said that they were deliberately framed. It should be said that the moss was there, and whoever stepped on it and slipped into the water was the one who was targeted.]
[But that person probably didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected effect. ]
Queen Mother: "..."
So she had remembered all these things for so many years, but now when she deciphered them, they were all "misunderstandings"?
She has been hated by these two people for so long, are they all innocent and are unlucky?
She found it difficult to accept this reality, so she raised her hand and pointed at the last concubine.
"Concubine Liu back then..."
"Your Highness, I really didn't have the slightest intention of harming you back then. Please understand."
Without waiting for the Queen Mother to finish her words, Concubine Liu immediately knelt on the ground.
She has been living in the palace for so many years, not fighting or competing for anything, just hoping to live a stable life.
Back then, it really was an accident!
The Queen Mother was startled by her overly intense reaction, then shook her head and laughed: "What are you doing? I just keep thinking about the past these days, thinking about the things that happened when Su Hongyu was still here."
When Concubine Liu heard her talk about Su Hongyu, she became obviously more nervous.
Su Hongyu was suddenly mentioned some time ago, and then the past events were inexplicably revealed, and many people died inside and outside the palace.
Now Su Hongyu is mentioned again... Concubine Liu rolled her eyes and fainted from fright.
There was a sudden panic in the hall. A palace maid ran over and helped the person to a soft couch nearby, and someone hurried out of Yongshou Palace to call for the imperial physician.
The other two concubines all looked pale, not knowing what was waiting for them.
The Queen Mother watched everything that happened in the palace with a smile on her face, and she did not forget to say to Concubine Xu and the other two teasingly: "This guy has always been timid, and he is still like this after so many years."
Concubine Xu and Concubine Qi forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.
If she hadn't mentioned Su Hongyu, how could Concubine Liu have fainted from fright?
That can kill people!
Who knows what crime they will be charged with.
They are not young anymore, so it would be fine if they died, as they only have a few years left to live anyway. But what about their families and tribesmen?
If they were also confiscated and exiled like the Zhang family...then they would be dead and the sinners of the entire family.
Lu Xinran paid attention to the Queen Mother's expression, wondering if she still needed her to flip through the booklet.
Seeing that the Queen Mother no longer looked at her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, everything that happened today also gave her a certain warning: no matter how tolerant the empress dowager appeared, she was the winner of the harem fight, and she was just as bloodthirsty and cruel as anyone else.
She should remember this!
The imperial physician arrived and gave Concubine Liu an injection to wake her up. The empress dowager felt very bored looking at the three people who were still in a panic.
He waved his hand and asked the palace servants to send them all back to their respective residences.
"It's getting late. Let's go to the front hall. If the emperor hasn't finished his work yet, we can talk first."
The Queen Mother always felt that it was not satisfying enough. The events of the past were not what she expected, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
If the concubine can't find a big melon that satisfies her, then she will go to the front hall to grab one.
The emperor has so many concubines, so he must have many thoughts and methods.
