Chapter 237 Weird
Chapter 237 Weird
Jin Xin glanced around and leaned closer to Zhou Lingge, her voice choked with sobs, "Your Majesty, Sister Qiao'er would never betray you..."
Zhou Lingge felt a little relieved.
The fact that Jin Xin can think this way means that she is not a girl who judges people by her eyes.
Sometimes, many things cannot be believed by seeing them.
These two girls are people who have a clear distinction between love and hate, especially towards her temper.
She fixed her gaze on Jin Xin, and couldn't help but feel a bit of pity.
Her voice softened unconsciously.
"If you're not good at interrogation, let Fuquan take charge."
After hearing this, Jin Xin's eyes flashed with joy.
She nodded quickly in response.
She finally confirmed that Qiao'er was not really separated from the Empress.
It seems... Qiao'er has really been acting out a master-servant feud with the Empress since a very early time.
Everything that happened to Zhou Lingge was sealed by her order.
No one knew that she had met Ling Da Ying, and no one knew that Ling Da Ying had once attempted suicide in front of her.
All of this was covered up quietly.
Inside the Wolong Palace.
All the concubines in the harem were present, but Qin Feiling still did not let Concubine Wan start to try the case.
Everyone knows that His Majesty is waiting for the imperial concubine.
Many people are particularly dissatisfied.
The imperial concubine is so arrogant that she wants them to just wait for her?
But neither the Queen Mother nor the Empress expressed their dissatisfaction. As mere concubines, they naturally had no right to offend His Majesty.
The Queen Mother now doesn't want to interfere in Zhou Lingge's affairs at all.
After the previous events, a big rift had appeared in the mother-son relationship between her and the emperor. If she continued to oppose the emperor, I am afraid that the emperor would really send her out of the palace without any mercy.
She was really scared.
The Queen Mother lowered her head and remained silent. The noble lady was poisoned to death, and the consequences were serious. If the truth was not investigated thoroughly, it would cause a big disturbance in not only the harem but also the former dynasty.
This time the emperor invited her over, and she naturally understood his intention.
The Queen Mother sighed helplessly.
Never mind...she's old.
As long as the emperor can govern the Jin Dynasty well, she will turn a blind eye to how he favors the imperial concubine and how he indulges her.
So when Zhou Lingge was late, the Queen Mother not only did not blame her, but even asked Qin Feiling with concern: "Emperor, the Imperial Concubine hasn't arrived for such a long time, could something have happened on the way?"
"She's still pregnant. Why don't we send someone to look for her? I'm feeling a little uneasy..."
Qin Feiling was very surprised by the Queen Mother's words.
But he was also genuinely happy that his mother could come to her senses and slowly become nicer to the imperial concubine. This was a good thing for him!
Qin Feiling naturally became more friendly towards the Queen Mother.
"Your Highness must have been delayed by something. It's okay. Let's wait patiently."
"If the imperial concubine knew that the queen mother cared about her so much, she would definitely be very happy."
The Empress Dowager never expected that just a casual question she asked the Imperial Concubine would make the Emperor so happy.
She suddenly felt that she had been using the wrong methods to ease the mother-son relationship with the emperor.
She seemed to have suddenly understood something, and continued to ask about the imperial concubine's recent health condition.
Qin Feiling answered them one by one very eagerly.
Although the mother and son were talking about the imperial concubine, their mother-son relationship gradually improved because of the imperial concubine.
The concubines watched this scene with indescribable expressions.
There is an inexplicable sense of weirdness.
It was as if all of them no longer existed, leaving only the emperor, the empress dowager, and the imperial concubine they mentioned?
Zhou Shiya sat quietly, indifferent to everything around her... and unmoved.
No matter what happened, no matter what she heard, she was like a person without any emotions, so quiet that people suddenly felt that she seemed to be just a soulless shell.
Qin Keqing sat in the corner, her eyes frequently looking towards the entrance of the hall. The longer she looked, the more frequently she looked.
Li Kui, who was close to her, looked at her with a puzzled look and asked Qin Keqing in a low voice, "Lady Qin, what are you looking at?"
Qin Keqing collected her thoughts, curled her lips and shook her head: "Nothing, I just feel strange that the imperial concubine hasn't arrived for so long. I hope nothing has happened..."
Li Kui's eyes flickered with jealousy, and she couldn't help but grumble softly, "Everyone in the harem, including His Majesty and the Queen Mother, is waiting for Concubine Yu. Concubine Yu is so arrogant...and yet His Majesty isn't angry at all, and is still waiting patiently."
Qin Keqing smiled faintly and didn't respond.
Lin Yan bit her lip and continued, "The imperial concubine is pregnant, so His Majesty is a little tolerant of her..."
The more Li Kui thought about it, the more dissatisfied he became.
"Even if she's pregnant, she shouldn't be so arrogant. Look at the Queen, she's also pregnant, why is she so low-key and doesn't bother with anything?"
"Lin Changzai...you've been with His Majesty before. What kind of person do you think he is?"
Li Kui couldn't help but feel curious. She had been in the palace for so long but had never had the chance to speak to His Majesty.
She couldn't help but envy Lin Yan.
Lin Yan couldn't help but blushing, and she looked up at Qin Feiling with affection.
Then, she lowered her head and murmured softly: "Your Majesty is a very gentle person..."
Li Kui was envious. "Lin Changzai, among all of us newcomers, His Majesty is most concerned about you. He went to Qixia Palace yesterday. What did you talk about?"
Lin Yan thought of yesterday's events, her face filled with happiness and sweetness. "I talked to His Majesty about some ballads, and he really liked the songs I sang. Speaking of which, I have to thank Concubine Qin... If it weren't for Concubine Qin giving me some music scores, I wouldn't have caught His Majesty's attention."
As she spoke, she looked at Qin Keqing with gratitude.
Qin Keqing smiled indifferently.
"My hand is injured and I can't play the piano anymore. Those music scores are just a pile of waste paper in my hands. Lin Changzai is a master of music and has a beautiful voice. Those ballads can only show their strengths in your hands."
"The fact that Concubine Lin has attracted the attention of His Majesty is a testament to your strength and has little to do with me. If you gain favor in the future, it will be due to your own abilities and has nothing to do with me. Concubine Lin must seize this opportunity and strive to gain the Emperor's favor as soon as possible. This will also be a source of pride for us newcomers entering the palace together."
Li Kui's eyes were filled with surprise: "Those songs that Concubine Lin sang were actually provided by you, Concubine Qin?"
Qin Keqing didn't want to talk about it anymore.
She just smiled and nodded perfunctorily.
Lin Yan suddenly felt that what she had just said was inappropriate.
She pursed her lips, smiled and stopped talking.
Li Kui felt unhappy when she saw that they were all smiling but not saying anything, as if they didn't want to reveal more.
She obviously has a better relationship with Lin Yan, but now she looks like an outsider?
Her expression couldn't help but become a little gloomy.
