Chapter 8: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
It has been three days since Zhao Nianwan sealed the nobles, the atmosphere in the Guan Ju Palace is still very low, the virtuous concubine reclined on the beauty couch and pretended to sleep, and the slender hand had a knock on the couch, and the sound of the knock sounded in the hearts of several palace maids, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound, and hurriedly came in from outside the hall in the twilight of their lives, and whispered: "Niangniang."

Concubine Xian opened her eyes slightly, and instructed the palace maids who were waiting around her, "You guys should retreat first." There was no joy or sorrow in his voice.
"Niangniang, the slave maid has found it clear, Zhao Guiren has not been in contact with other palace concubines before, but a month ago, Zhao Guiren had collided with Concubine Ning in the palace back garden, and Concubine Ning punished her for kneeling on the stone road of the palace garden for two hours, during which it happened that Concubine Yi went to the palace garden to relax, but according to the palace maid of the palace garden, Concubine Yi just asked Zhao Guiren why he knelt there, and he didn't say anything." After seeing the palace maids in the palace rushing out in the twilight years, Fang took a step forward and bent down and whispered in front of the virtuous concubine.
When the virtuous concubine heard this, she thought secretly, and her eyebrows frowned for a while: "In the twilight of life, who do you think will benefit the most from this matter?" ā
Twilight thought for a while and replied, "Naturally, it's Zhao Guiren." ā
Concubine Xian chuckled, and then asked, "Then who do you think is the biggest victim?" Twilight frowned: "Of course it's Niangniang, as soon as this matter comes out, Your Majesty must be annoyed by Niangniang, but what does this have to do with Niangniang, the whole Ligong is so big, and Niangniang can't take care of it everywhere, besides, the villains who see the wind and make the rudder, bully the soft and fear the hard abound, that Zhao Guiren is not favored, but he endured it and didn't say it, and quietly stabbed Niangniang into such a big trouble." ā
Concubine Xian sneered: "She is also a talent, and she has only been fortunate to be recruited by His Majesty twice a year after entering the palace, and she has a dragon heir when she is born." It's a pity that she wasn't used by the palace. ā
Twilight was shocked when she heard this: "Niangniang means that she is the person who is Concubine Ning?" The virtuous concubine sneered on her lips, and said lightly: "Who else can she be, this palace is in charge of the six palaces on behalf of the phoenix seal, she is only the assistant of the six palaces, and if something happens, Your Majesty will naturally be the first to be held accountable for the palace." ā
"Ming Youlan, Ming Youlan, do you think that if you have such a trouble with Zhao Nianwan in the palace back garden, this palace will believe that you are innocent!" Concubine Xian rubbed the ring on her hand and said thoughtfully: "In the twilight of my life, dress up for the palace, and go to the palace to meet that Zhao Guiren in a while." Your Majesty values this child so much, this palace should go to visit, and it is only right to share your Majesty's worries. ā
Twilight nodded yes.
Inside Qiyun Xuan.
The shallow and pleasant fragrance of the fetus is filled with a little bit of gold from the carved gold furnace in the room, including the double-ended medicine bowl, carefully handed it to Zhao Nianjuan, Zhao Nianhuan just took the medicine, Hanshuang hurriedly took the medicine bowl she handed over, put it in the tray held by the little palace maid behind him, and ordered: "You retreat first." The little palace maid bent her knees slightly, bowed her head and exited the inner room.
"Since the little master is pregnant and has been named a nobleman, those minions no longer dare to bully the little master." Hanshuang said with a smile.
Zhao Nianwan's eyes did not fluctuate, and he said lightly: "Since I am on the boat of Concubine Ning, Concubine Xian will not let me go." "Only she knows that day and Concubine Ning surrendered, she hoped that Concubine Ning would help her keep the imperial heir, after all, she was just a small permanent before, even if she was in Qiyunxuan, those minions who praised the high and the low did not put themselves in their eyes, and the palace was treacherous, so how could she have the ability to keep the imperial heir, but the price of doing so was that if she gave birth to a prince, she would have to be raised under Concubine Ning's knees.
Hanshuang looked at Zhao Nianwan with some concern, and said, "Little master, will the virtuous concubine come to take revenge on us?" ā
Zhao Nianwan hooked the corners of her lips, but there was no smile on her pale face: "With the means of the virtuous concubine, she is afraid that she has already found out that the mastermind is Concubine Ning, even if it is revenge, she will only go to Concubine Ning." Besides, a few days ago, His Majesty has already made His Majesty have an opinion on Concubine Xian, if anything goes wrong with the imperial heir in my belly, His Majesty is only afraid that he will annoy her, so hurt the enemy by a thousand and damage eight hundred, I believe that Concubine Xiangui will not take the risk. ā
Hanshuang listened to Zhao Nianjuan's analysis, nodded, and said, "What the little master said is very true. After speaking, he paused, and said: "Concubine Ning of Yuxiu Palace sent someone to send some supplements for the fetus, and the slave maid has already put it away." ā
Zhao Nianwan closed her eyes slightly, and said a little weakly: "Since you put it away, forget it, even if it is Concubine Ning, we still have to guard against it." ā
Suddenly, the voice of the palace maid came from outside: "Little Lord Qiyu, the virtuous concubine is here, and she has just entered the courtyard gate at this time." ā
"Little master, why is the virtuous concubine here?" Hanshuang asked in surprise. Zhao Nianwan frowned: "Just make a show for Your Majesty." ā
"The virtuous concubine has arrived." As he spoke, the little eunuch's voice had already sounded.
The virtuous concubine walked into the inner room, but saw that Zhao Nianwan was laboriously getting up from the bed to salute, so she gave a look to the twilight year, and the twilight year was relieved, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhao Nianhuan, and the virtuous concubine said with a smile: "Zhao Gui's body is important, these false gifts are almost gone." When Zhao Nianwan heard this, he lowered his head and said, "Thank you for your grace." ā
Concubine Xian smiled softly on her face: "A few days ago, the noble people were wronged, and it was all the palace's negligence for a while, so that those slaves who bullied the soft and afraid of the hard bullied my sister's head, and today the palace specially came to make amends for you, by the way, let's see if there is anything missing in your Qiyunxuan." ā
Zhao Nianwan replied with sincere fear: "Niangniang is in charge of the six palaces, it is already very hard, the concubine can't share the sorrow for Niangniang, she is already blaming herself in her heart, but she still caused trouble to Niangniang, how dare you say that she will make amends." ā
After listening to Zhao Nianwan's words, Concubine Xian was very satisfied, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to the nobleman's birth, and the palace also ordered the Shang Food Bureau and the Shang Sleep Bureau to take special care of Qi Yunxuan. ā
Zhao Nianwan hurriedly got up and saluted again: "Concubine Xie Guifei Niangniang's grace." ā
Concubine Xian frowned and reproached: "You are also a double body now, this palace has exempted you from saluting before, you should pay more attention to the imperial heir in your belly." Zhao Nianwan bowed slightly, lowered her eyes and replied: "What Niangniang taught is that the concubine remembers." ā
Concubine Xian sat for a while, asked some innocuous words, and then asked Hanshuang to wait for Zhao Nianwan to rest, and left Qiyunxuan with her twilight years.
On the way back to Guan Ju Palace, the virtuous concubine sat on her shoulder, remembered Zhao Nianjuan's behavior, and said thoughtfully: "This Zhao Guiren is a smart person, and he voted for the door of Yuxiu Palace. Duyun heard the words of the virtuous concubine and said: "Zhao Guiren is a beauty dedicated to Nanhua, I heard that she was a famous Nanhua talent in Nanhua before, and she was also the concubine of Nanhua Taifu, but when she came to Da Chu, there was no one behind her to rely on, so she surrendered to Concubine Ning." ā
Concubine Xian gently stroked the ring on her hand and muttered, "If it can't be used by this palace, what's the matter if it's ruined?" ā
