C20 King Qi's Doubt

Qin Buzhou stayed the whole night in the imperial study, carefully guarding the ingots. He was worried about the emperor's body, but also worried about his head.

"Someone, come!" A night passed, but he never thought the emperor would still have such a temper. Yuanbao nervously entered the imperial study. Your Majesty, what orders do you have? "

"What time is it?" Qin Wenzhou stretched his back and asked him. He looked at the color of the sky with his ingot and said, "Your majesty, there's about an hour left before the assembly begins."

The emperor's expression seemed to be a lot better than last night, and he was finally slightly relieved.

Before the morning assembly, Qin Wenzhou stared at the innocent looking ingot and said, "Arrange for the people who are watching over Xie Zhi to act smarter for me!"

"Yes." Yuanbao respectfully agreed. As expected, it was to thank his benefactor. His Majesty truly did not mean what he said. Yuanbao sighed in his heart.

Teng Pavilion Hall.

Sou Sou woke up early in the morning. She felt that she was in a good mood, but she never had the chance to sleep and would naturally wake up. Every day, she would go over to Madam Rongde to pay her respects, feeling helpless.

"When Jiu Ming came to help her dress, he reminded her with good intentions." "My lord, perhaps the entire palace has heard of what happened last night. You should be careful when you go over to pay your respects."

"Why?" Sou Sou had an innocent look on her face. This matter had nothing to do with her.

"After all, the Emperor has left the Tantai Hall in a fit of rage. This is a great matter, and those who have heard of it would definitely stir up trouble and say that you were wrong in front of Madam Rongde." Jiu Ming was helpless. Although he said that there was a reason behind what happened yesterday, due to bad luck, they could only admit defeat.

She felt that the wine was reasonable. This morning had already passed since they went to pay their respects. However, she did not expect that she would arrive so early.

As soon as she entered the room, Zheng Consort taunted her, "Isn't this the same as thanking your benefactor? Why did you come so early today? "

"Could it be that if the Emperor does not go to the Tantai Pavilion, you can get up early? Then it seems that Madam Rongde should recommend that the Emperor should go to the Tantai Pavilion less." His wife's tone was sour.

Sou Sou ignored her and went over to pay her respects.

"Thank you, exalted one. Zheng Consort said that the Emperor left the Tantai Hall furiously yesterday and did not sleep in the Imperial Study all night?" Madam Rong asked her kindly. She was extremely dissatisfied.

This surprised her. To the heavens and the earth, she had only watched as the emperor angrily left the Tantai Pavilion. She didn't know that the emperor was so angry that he hadn't slept for the entire night in the imperial study.

"Chenqie didn't know that the emperor went to chenqie's palace yesterday. Since chenqie's body wasn't feeling well, she advised the emperor to rest at her place. But he didn't expect her to leave in anger." Sou Sou replied to Madam Rongde's question with a serious expression while not forgetting to look at his wife's expression.

Zheng Xianzi could not hold back her anger. "Madam, your orders are spouting slander!"

"Elder sister's words are wrong, but chenqie told the emperor in this way. Perhaps the emperor really doesn't like people who make trouble like elder sister. Otherwise, why would he rather stay in the imperial study than go to elder sister's place?"

She had wanted to use this matter to suppress Xie Zhi, but who would have thought that this cunning woman would actually bite back and say that the emperor was angry because he didn't like her!

Madam Rongde looked at Xie Zhi and thought to herself, 'This woman looks like she's overweeningly arrogant, but she isn't so easy to suppress when she's doing things. It looks like she still has to think things over. She opened her mouth and said, "Alright, since the emperor doesn't blame us, this matter is over. The imperial concubines will be coming soon. All of you are going to confront each other like this, what are you all acting like?"

"Madam, it's clear that you're grateful for your pettiness. Chenqie is nothing more than …" Zheng Rui was unwilling to accept this.

"Alright, in my opinion, it's just that the concubine isn't right. Thank you for entering the palace for a short period of time, if there's anything that doesn't conform to the rules, you should teach her well." Although she felt aggrieved in her heart, she did not dare to contradict Madam Rongde's reprimanding of her concubine.

What was so good about this woman, Xie Zhi? Not to mention the fact that the Emperor doted on her so much, even Madam Rongde was biased towards her. It seemed like she didn't need to use any tricks. After some time, there would be no place for her in the palace.

Before long, all of the imperial concubines had come to pay their respects.

As soon as Noble Li entered and took his seat, he saw Xie Zhi sitting absent-mindedly on her seat. "What's wrong with you, Noble Xie?" "You're early today?"

"Little sister, I'm afraid I don't know. Last night, thank you for angering the emperor. Presumably, it's because the emperor's sleeping so peacefully that he woke up so early." Imperial Concubine Qian said with a smile. Her words were soft and gentle, but it didn't make her feel comfortable to listen to them.

After being reprimanded by Madam Rongde, Zheng Xianzi didn't say much. She only felt satisfied when she saw that many people were looking unhappily at Xie Zhi.

Seeing these people making things difficult for Xie Zhi, Madam Rong felt that this woman didn't need her to do anything. Naturally, someone would help her deal with her. On the surface, she still seriously defended Xie Zhi. After all, the more pampered she was, the more others would dislike her.

"We are all sisters, there is no need to be so confrontational. Thank you for your grievances."

"Yes." This concubine doesn't dare. " No one said anything more now that Mrs Jung had spoken.

Before Xie Zhi left, she thanked Madam Rongde who looked at her amiably. "I'll tell you more if the emperor has anything to hide from me in the future."

"Yes."

Those consorts who had yet to leave were even less convinced when they heard that Madam Rongde was such a spoiled child.

After she returned, she sighed deeply.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Jiuming asked as he made her some tea.

"These women are too scary, alas."

"Didn't Lady Rongde still help her benefactor today? Why do you still say that?" Jiu Ming didn't understand. An Jian, who was standing by the side, spoke very little. As he watched the two of them talk, he started to think about his own matters.

"It's precisely because Mme. Jung De has been so protective of me that I feel terrible." "What a pity." "Originally, I didn't want to show off, but the emperor refused to let me go. Now that I've seen Madam Rongde's demeanor, I'm afraid he knows that the emperor's favor towards me will bring me endless trouble. She also wants to fan the flames."

An Jian saw through it, "Noble person's thinking is right, but if the emperor really dotes on you, then you must firmly grasp it. To survive in the harem is to have the emperor's care.

"That's what I said. After these past few days of being in contact with them, I feel that none of them are easy to deal with. It's better that I avoid them a little."

Ye Ci let out a deep sigh. Troublesome woman.

In the evening, An Jian received a message from a pigeon that King Qi wanted to see her.

She secretly left the palace to meet King Qi as per their agreement. The man who opened the gates asked her about Xie Zhi, causing An Jian to feel a little disappointed, but he hid it well.
