Empress looks forward to falling out of favor every day

Chapter 507 Blacklisted Households
Concubine Zhen was flustered.

"What should I do! I can't let her succeed! But now the things in her palace are gone, and no one can see who gave them to, as long as the queen insists on killing her."

"At that time, the other concubines and eunuchs in the palace will think that this palace is negligent! I don't have the ability to control this harem."

"This palace will never let the queen succeed."

But now she used her own money to make up for the missing share in Jiao Fangdian, which really made her feel aggrieved.

There is a kind of dumb who eats coptis, and feels bitter and indescribable.

When Yayi returned to the Jiaofang Hall with her things, she happened to see the nanny who had come to deliver safflower soup to the queen coming out of the back room.

Her eyes dimmed, and she hurried into the room.

The queen had just finished drinking the medicine, and now she was frowning because of the bitter taste in her mouth.

Mei brought a cup of tea for the queen to rinse her mouth, and a spittoon for the queen to wash away the bitter taste in her mouth.

The queen spit out the water in her mouth into the spittoon, and took a sweet and sour plum from the table into her mouth, which made her feel a lot better.

Seeing her master like this, Mei felt distressed, "Ma'am, we won't have to drink this soon, very soon."

The queen didn't care much, she had been here for such a long time, and she didn't care if it was more or less.

"How are things going?"

She asked.

Mei replied in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it's done."

The queen nodded in satisfaction, "Give the maid some money later, and then send her out of the palace, she doesn't have to stay in the palace anymore."

"There is also the extra item from the Jiaofang Palace. It is secretly burned, so don't let people look at it."

"Yes, ma'am."

Mei responded respectfully, and was about to turn around and retreat, when the queen said again.

"By the way, spread the word."

Yai leaned over: "Your Majesty, this servant understands."

On that day, there were rumors among the court ladies and eunuchs that Concubine Zhen ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to embezzle things from the empress's palace.

The servant mentioned this matter, and by the way, recalled the improper handling of Concubine Zhen's handling of all matters in the harem during this period.

The queen and concubine Shu were also mentioned for comparison.

I feel more and more that Concubine Zhen is not as good as Concubine Shu and the Empress.

This story was widely circulated, and the number of concubines who came rushing to curry favor with Concubine Zhen gradually decreased.

Concubine Zhen knew something was wrong.

As soon as Qingliu inquired, she knew what the outside world said about her.

It was just the gossip of a few servants, she shouldn't have taken it to heart, but if the gossip reached the ears of the emperor and queen mother, things would be different.

As soon as Concubine Zhen got angry, she wanted to go to the Jiaofang Hall to discuss the crime with the queen, but was stopped by Qingliu's nonsense.

Concubine Zhen also realized that she was impulsive. Although she felt that the queen must have said these words, she had no proof after all, and the queen was even more unlikely to admit it.

If she passed in such a hurry, if others saw it, they would guess that she had a bad relationship with the empress.

Wouldn't it be confirmed that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was ordered to embezzle things from the Queen's Palace?

Concubine Zhen could only swallow the bitterness into her stomach.

—

Kunluan Palace.

Xiao Yueyao also learned about the matter between the Queen and Concubine Zhen, and felt like she was watching a joke.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the queen is trying to seize power.

But now that Concubine Zhen is in the light and the Empress is in the dark, it is not good for Concubine Zhen and it is easy to suffer.

But if the empress is also in the open, with Concubine Zhen's impulsive and irritable temperament, she can't beat the empress.

In Xiao Yueyao's heart,

The Queen and Concubine Zhen are both blacklisted households.

But concubine Zhen looked cuter than the queen after all.

Xiao Yueyao thought for a moment, and then told Luchun, "Go, find a reliable person, and keep an eye on the movement of Jiaofangdian."

Time flies by.

The queen kept her own place in her own palace, but she didn't make any moves.

Concubine Zhen was relieved early, breathed a sigh of relief, and even began to doubt her guess.

Do you feel that you are judging the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?

Maybe, the queen doesn't have the heart to seize power with her at all.

Now, she was living her days of settling accounts and listening to gossip.

And the one in Jiaofangdian was ready to start taking action when Concubine Zhen let go of her guard.

A girl with a strange face came out of the Jiaofang Hall and went to the House of Internal Affairs.

Today is the day when the palaces send people to collect things, and the father-in-laws of the House of Internal Affairs are very busy.

Seeing an unfamiliar maid at this moment, the father-in-law, the head of the House of Internal Affairs, has a new heart after what happened last time.

No one took things away directly.

Instead, he asked a bit more, "What's your name? Which palace?"

The servant girl looked honest and obedient, "Elder-in-law, I am a maid of Jiaofang Palace, my name is Cui'er. Sister Yayi is unable to come today because of something, so let me come and pick it up."

The father-in-law, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, looked at her more than [-] times, wrote down her name, and then gave her the things that Jiaofangdian had brought.

In this way, if you want to have an accident when the time comes, you won't be afraid that you won't be able to find someone.

The maid took the things and left.

The father-in-law, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, looked at her back for a long time, always feeling strange in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was so strange.

At this moment, the other palaces were urging for things again, so the father-in-law, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, didn't think too much, and went to work.

The little maid took these things and found a remote dry well, and after seeing that there were no hot workers nearby, she threw all the things into it.

After finishing all this, she was about to turn around and go back to Jiaofangdian.

Unexpectedly, Mei was standing behind her.

The maid was startled, and raised a pure and innocent smile, "Sister Mei, I have already thrown the things into the dry well as you ordered."

"Well, well done." With a sullen face, Yai walked towards the little maid, looking at the things at the bottom of the well.

She withdrew her gaze and landed on Tweety'er again, "Tweety'er, do you know the only rule of serving in Jiaofang Palace?"

Cui'er nodded, "Sister Mei, Cui'er knows that everything should be done with the empress first, and you must be loyal to your empress."

"Sister Mei, I will be loyal to my empress."

Mei nodded, "Tweety, you've done a good job, today you have to do something for your empress."

Tweety just started working as a errand, and she was very happy to be praised by Mei.

"Sister Mei, I am willing to do anything for my empress."

"Then..."

Mei's voice paused, and she suddenly stretched out her hand to push Tweety back.

Tweety was startled, her pupils widened, and she looked at Mei in disbelief.

Behind her was the dry well, being pushed by Mei like this, the whole person staggered a step back, tripped directly on the dry well, and fell into the dry well.

There was not a single drop of water in the dry well, so there was no water to cushion her momentum in such a fall.

Human beings have no chance of survival.
