Chapter 30 Bringing People In
On a dark and windy night, thick clouds obscured the hazy moonlight, gusts of cold wind whistled by, and even the resplendent palace did not make people feel a trace of warmth, some were only mysterious and weird.
And on such an unusual night, the queen sent someone to invite Concubine Hua to Fengqi Pavilion, everything was ready, a huge net had been woven for Concubine Hua, just waiting for her to walk in by herself.
"Queen Mother, it's so late, I don't know why you invite your concubines to come?" On the way here, Concubine Hua always felt a chill coming to her, and she felt inexplicably uneasy in her heart, but she didn't feel afraid.
Because Concubine Hua has never taken the gentle woman of the queen in her eyes, it is only because of her title and the emperor's favor that she came reluctantly.
"It's nothing, this palace is just bored, so I want to find my sister to talk to me and relieve my boredom." The queen smiled gently, the hatred in her eyes quickly disappeared, although she wanted to accuse Concubine Hua of her crimes immediately, but she also understood that she couldn't be in a hurry, and if she wanted to deal with Concubine Hua, she had to calm down, and she must take it step by step.
And this time is a great opportunity to hit Concubine Hua, once you miss it, you may never have it again.
Over the years, I really don't know how many heart-wrenching things Concubine Hua has done, and it's time for her to pay the price.
"Then my sister is better to be respectful than to obey her fate." Concubine Hua didn't doubt that the queen's words were false, and she was still complacent in her heart, thinking that the queen would also respect her for three points, so she sat down proudly.
"The crown prince and the crown princess are also there? It's so loving that I envy others. After Concubine Hua sat down, she saw Yan Zimo and Ling Yuwei, her words were full of ridicule and jealousy, because she had never had that kind of affection.
And in her eyes, she has always looked down on Ling Yuwei, and thinks that such an ugly woman is not worthy of being a princess at all, but she can't control it, because Yan Zimo will not listen to her at all.
"Wei'er greets Concubine Hua." Ling Yuwei didn't want to pay attention to Concubine Hua at first, but thinking of what they were going to do next, she still reluctantly gave her a salute, anyway, she couldn't be arrogant for long.
And Yan Zimo didn't pay attention to Concubine Hua, anyway, his attitude towards her has always been cold, and he felt that it was a waste of tongue to say more to her.
Ever since he learned what Concubine Hua had done to his sister, he hated her even more, and he wanted to kill her with a sword to avenge his sister.
"It's still the crown princess who is sensible and knows how to respect her elders, unlike some people who don't even know the most basic etiquette." Concubine Hua has always been dissatisfied with Yan Zimo's indifferent attitude towards her, but she is a little afraid of Yan Zimo's sharp eyes, so she can only refer to Sang scolding Huai's casual talk.
"Look at the memory of this palace, I forgot to serve tea to my sister, nurse, hurry up and serve tea to Concubine Hua." The queen said suddenly, but a subtle chuckle flashed at the corner of her mouth, the show will be staged soon, she wants to see how Concubine Hua escapes this time.
The queen's diligence is taken for granted in the eyes of Concubine Hua, in her impression, the queen seems to have always been so good to her, but the voice of the nurse made her heart tremble, when did this Fengqi Pavilion have one more nurse? How could she not know?
However, Concubine Hua didn't think much about it, but indulged in the queen's politeness to her, because it satisfied her vanity.
Concubine Hua has always been jealous that the queen can get the emperor's favor, so she always opposes the queen everywhere, but what surprised her was that the queen was not pampered and arrogant, but always humble and polite to her, which also made Concubine Hua even more inches, and she didn't take the queen in her eyes at all.
"Concubine Hua, please use tea." Moon Shadow slowly walked out of the back room with a cup of tea and respectfully presented it to Concubine Hua, but her appearance had changed into the appearance of a nurse, and her voice also imitated the voice of a nurse.
"Ah......" Concubine Hua had been immersed in her vanity, but when she came back to her senses and was about to use tea, she saw the moon shadow in front of her clearly, and suddenly frightened the teacup to the ground, and exclaimed.
Although the queen and the others all knew that the person in front of them was Moon Shadow, what they saw in Concubine Hua's eyes was a real nurse, so they had such an overreaction.
"Sister, what's wrong? Is the teacup too hot? Concubine Hua's reaction was expected by the queen, and it seemed that she had indeed done something wrong, so she would be frightened and panicked the moment she saw the nurse.
"You...... How did you end up here? Concubine Hua didn't answer the queen's question, she realized her gaffe just now, and asked calmly, although more than ten years have passed, she can still recognize at a glance that the person in front of her is the nurse who was once bribed and killed by her to kill the little princess.
But Concubine Hua also remembered very well that not long ago, she had sent her most trusted son Yan Ziming to kill the nurse, how could she still appear here alive?
Could it be that the person her son killed was not a nurse? Why did she suddenly return to the palace and appear in the queen's Fengqi Pavilion? What's going on here?
"What? Does Concubine Hua know the nurse? When the queen saw Concubine Hua's strange reaction, she was even more sure of the bad things she had done, and she wanted to punish her now, but in order to be able to defeat her completely, she could only deal with her patiently.
"I don't know, I just feel a little familiar." Concubine Hua didn't know what was going on, so she still pretended to answer calmly.
"Niangniang doesn't remember the slave anymore? The slave can remember the mother clearly. A sneer appeared on Moon Shadow's face, and her cold eyes looked straight at Concubine Hua.
"This palace is a noble Hua concubine, and you are just a humble slave, why should this palace remember you?" In fact, Concubine Hua's heart was completely messed up, but she was still silent on the surface and pretended to be calm.
"It doesn't matter if the mother doesn't remember the slave, as long as the mother still remembers what the slave did sixteen years ago." Moon Shadow had already heard from the queen what Concubine Hua had done back then, so she was introducing Concubine Hua step by step, and she didn't believe that she could keep her calm and not show any flaws.
"Bold slave, this palace doesn't know you at all, what sixteen years ago? Dare to slander this palace, pull it out and cut it. Concubine Hua's heart became more and more flustered, especially when she heard the words sixteen years ago, so she thought about killing Moon Shadow as soon as possible, but she forgot that she was now in the queen's territory and not her bedroom.
"Why should my sister be angry? Hongu is a little curious, what happened between my sister and the nurse sixteen years ago. The smile on the queen's face was so gentle, but in Concubine Hua's eyes, there was a knife hidden in the smile, and it seemed that she had always underestimated the queen.
