Chapter Twenty-Nine: Waiting or Watching?
"Your Majesty, your subordinates have checked the entire Qing Palace, everything is normal, nothing is unusual, and everything is normal for the concubine Niangniang."
Poplar bowed.
"From now on, where she has gone and what she has done, she will tell me word for word."
After a moment of silence, the man's voice was low.
"Your Majesty, there is a saying among my subordinates, I don't know whether to ask or not."
The doubts in Mu Yang's heart made him uncomfortable for a long time.
"Don't ask, don't ask."
The man said a word, so Mu Yang didn't know whether to ask or not.
After thinking about it for a while, Mu Yang still spoke stubbornly: "My subordinates want to ask, does the emperor send his subordinates to serve the concubine Niangniang, or to monitor the concubine Niangniang?" ”
I always feel that the emperor has not explained this errand clearly.
When he was in the Heart Cultivation Palace, the emperor obviously let himself pretend to be a eunuch to serve the concubine.
But the things that the emperor let him do were all sneaky and unsightly things.
Check the courtyard of the concubine and monitor the whereabouts of the concubine..... There will be more in the future, and Mu Yang doesn't dare to continue thinking about it.
After a few moments, the man spat out a few syllables heavily.
"When you're waiting, watch by the way."
Mu Yang: "......"
......
"What? The emperor turned over Su Guifei's brand?! ”
In Changle Palace, the queen's voice resounded throughout the dormitory, and the aftermath echoed in the air for a long time.
Maple nodded tremblingly.
"Niangniang, you should rest early, the emperor will not come today."
Every night, the queen will order someone to light the lights in the Changle Palace, and the palace will also specially smoke incense and prepare the emperor's favorite snacks.
But the days that can wait for the emperor are pitiful.
It's good now, there is a Su Guifei in the palace.
As soon as Concubine Su came, the emperor came to the harem many times, but he went to Qingle Palace.
"Hmph, even if the emperor flipped over her brand, he just sat down and left, and she couldn't be proud."
The mood of the riot soon subsided, and the queen sat down in front of the dressing table and slowly took off the hairpin on her head.
Maple Leaf's expression looked struggling.
She didn't answer the queen's words immediately, biting her lip and thinking for a long time before she spoke carefully.
"..... The emperor wants to stay in Qingle Palace tonight......"
Maple Leaf's voice was so small that it was almost inaudible.
The queen's gaze froze instantly.
"Staying overnight? You're not mistaken, are you? ”
Maple nodded affirmatively.
"The slave maid is not wrong, the palace maid who is waiting in the Qingle Palace told the slave maid in person, the emperor ordered someone to prepare water for bathing, and he will stay in the Qingle Palace tonight."
Hearing this, the queen stared ahead without focus, and did not speak for a long time.
Pinching the bead hairpin in his hand, the green tendons that pop out of the back of his hand are obvious one by one.
"Leprechaun! ......”
Biting her lip and squeezing out this sentence from her lips, the queen broke the bead hairpin in her hand into two.
"Listening to the eunuch in charge of the respectful room, the emperor directly flipped Su Guifei's without even thinking about it."
After speaking, Maple Leaf quietly glanced at the broken pearl hairpin in the queen's eyes.
The queen was even more angry when she heard this.
But before she could have a seizure, the palace maid who was keeping vigil outside the door hurriedly walked into the hall with a lantern.
"Returning to the queen's mother, Concubine Ming led the other ladies to ask to see her outside the palace."
The queen raised her eyebrows and glanced in the direction of the outside of the hall.
They came so fast......
I didn't get a good night's sleep last night, and I can't sleep tonight...
"Let them wait in the front hall."
The queen said slowly.
"Slaves and maids obey ......"
The palace maid quickly retreated.
After the palace maid faded, the queen ordered Maple Leaf to take off all the jewelry on her body, remove the gorgeous brocade on her body, and put on a silk nightgown, looking like she had fallen asleep.
She couldn't let the other concubines see anything.
She is the queen of the emperor, the mother of the country, she should be the mother of the world, not follow those small-bellied women to compete for favor and disturb the harem.
Swallowing her resentment, she walked towards the front hall.
