Chapter 231 Meng Bin morally blackmails Shen Zhinian
Nangong Xuanyu has always known that Shen Zhinian is kind, and was also moved by these words: "...Okay. Then I will go to Yonghe Palace tonight."
"It's just... I have something I want to tell you."
He was the emperor and always did whatever he wanted in the harem. No matter what he did, no concubine dared to interfere.
He doesn't need to care about other people's feelings.
But this time, for the first time, Nangong Xuanyu had the idea of explaining in front of a woman.
Because he didn't want her to be sad or upset.
Shen Zhinian had already guessed what Nangong Xuanyu was going to say, but it was more sensitive because it involved the Zhenguo Mansion. She should not act too smart in front of the emperor.
Showing off your intelligence will make people dislike you and fear you.
"Your Majesty, what do you want to say to me?"
Nangong Xuanyu looked away: "Noble Lady Wen is the youngest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. I took away the Queen's imperial seal and imprisoned her in Kunning Palace. In order not to disappoint the Duke of Zhenguo, I must comfort her."
He believed that Nian Nian could understand what he meant and could understand him.
Sometimes, men’s demands are actually very demanding, but they don’t even realize it.
They hope that women will be sensible and considerate, and not be jealous when their husbands favor other women; they also hope that women will be stingy occasionally to show that they care about them.
The right balance is so hard to grasp...
But Shen Zhinian likes this kind of difficult things.
"I understand..."
"I know that although Your Majesty is an emperor, there are many things that are beyond your control. I understand, and I don't have the heart to embarrass Your Majesty."
"Noble Lady Wen has been in the palace for so long, it's time for Your Majesty to favor her... I'm fine."
"When your majesty is not here, I will take good care of myself and my child and will not let your majesty worry."
Having said that, Shen Zhinian gave Nangong Xuanyu a sensible smile.
But anyone could tell from her slightly red eyes that she was forcing a smile...
Nangong Xuanyu's brows were deeply frowned, and he had an urge to hug the woman in front of him tightly in his arms and never let go.
She loved him deeply, but she would not make things difficult for him in the name of love like the imperial concubine did. Instead, she would always stand in his shoes and think for him at all times.
So gentle, so sensible.
hold on……
Give him a little more time.
He will not let her down and will not let her suffer for too long.
"... Nian Nian, believe me."
In the end, the emperor left only this sentence and left Zhongcui Palace.
Although he wanted to put on a show for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he had just lost a child today and was in no mood to favor Concubine Wen, so he went to Concubine Meng.
……
Yonghe Palace.
After Mengpin woke up, she knew the whole story.
She touched her deflated belly and first burst into tears, crying for the loss of her child and the end of her second half of life!
Then she lay motionless on the bed like a puppet that had lost its soul, as if she no longer cared about anything in the world.
Even when Concubine Liang brought a large amount of supplements, Concubine Meng still had no reaction.
Seeing her haggard appearance, Concubine Liang sat beside the bed, holding her hand and shedding tears: "Poor sister Mengpin..."
Concubine Meng did not respond.
He stared straight at the ceiling without even moving his eyes.
Seeing that only Xia Chan was serving nearby, Ruoli's eyes flickered: "Why don't you see Chunying?"
Xia Chan lowered his head and said calmly, "Your Majesty knew that it was Chunying who specifically mentioned that the lotus pond in Yonghe Palace was dug by the late emperor for his favorite concubine. Your Majesty might be blessed if she went there. Your Majesty was angry with Chunying and ordered her to be beaten to death..."
Pure lies are easy to spot. Only when truth and lies are combined together can they be perfect.
Although she was the one who instigated Mengpin to leave, the origin of the lotus pond was indeed told by Chunying. Anyway, not many people would care about the death of a servant, and no one would delve into it.
as predicted.
In Ruoli's eyes, Chunying and Xiachan were both Concubine Liang's people, and she did not doubt Xiachan's words.
Chunying was incompetent and deserved to die. She was too lazy to waste her time on a dead person.
Seeing that Mengpin looked disheartened, Liangfei sighed heavily and said with compassion: "Sister's child is gone, and it's not just sister who is sad. I am also sad in my heart..."
"But now that things have come to this, there is no point in giving up on yourself. The real murderer who killed your child is still at large..."
Speaking of this matter, Mengpin finally reacted. In addition to the overwhelming hatred in her eyes, there was more helplessness.
"Sister Liangfei..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, she burst into tears: "I originally thought that it was Concubine Rou who killed my child, but I didn't expect that it was someone from Kunning Palace who did it..."
"I know that Gao Yunhuai is a eunuch. Why would he harm my child for no reason? The Queen is behind all this!"
"Even if Your Majesty took away her imperial seal, she still lives in Kunning Palace and is still the mother of the country! How can I not hate her in my heart!"
"But...but what can I do?"
"Her family background is so prominent, and she is the queen. I have no background, no favor, and even lost my only support... If I confront her, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg..."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I really can't do anything..."
When she was in the palace, the queen was the high and mighty princess, and she was just an insignificant concubine. Mengpin's fear and awe of Queen Jiang had long been deeply engraved in her bones!
She didn't even dare to think about revenge for her child, let alone revenge for her child. So she became more and more desperate, and her heart was dead...
Ruoli couldn't help but quietly rolled her eyes.
Concubine Meng did not dare to hate the Empress, but she was extremely jealous of Concubine Rou because Concubine Rou did not have a family background that made her afraid.
To put it bluntly, she is a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong!
There is no need to count on such a coward to take revenge on the Queen.
Liang Fei looked at Meng Fei with more pity: "I understand what you mean. I came here today just to persuade you to be more open-minded, but don't try to stop a rock with an egg and get yourself into trouble."
"What a coincidence! Just as my sister got into trouble, Concubine Rou brought His Majesty here. If they had come earlier, Gao Yunhuai might not have had the chance to attack my sister. Alas..."
Seeing that Mengpin was stunned again, Liang Fei lowered her eyes, patted the back of her hand, and said softly: "The imperial physician said that my sister needs to rest well now in order to recover."
"I won't bother you any more. I'll come visit my sister another day."
Liang Fei had been gone for a long time, Meng Fei was still in a daze, Xia Chan couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty...what's wrong with you?"
Mengpin seemed to react suddenly, and gritted her teeth and said, "It was Roupin! She must have known that the Queen was going to attack me, but she didn't warn me!"
"The harem is complicated and it's not easy to have children! As concubines, we should at least have some sympathy, right?! Concubine Rou knew the intentions of the perpetrator, but she was indifferent. How could she be so cruel?!"1
