Chapter 599 I’m Going to Become Her Harem (97 Votes Plus)
It has only been two days since Shen Zhinian was assassinated, so the mastermind behind the assassination has naturally not been found out so quickly, and Zhan Weiran is still continuing the investigation.
The virtuous concubine was the head of the harem and also assisted in the management of the six palaces. When she was injured, no matter what people thought, they all sent people or came to Zhongcui Palace in person with gifts to visit her.
How much sincerity is there in the palace? Many people came to visit her, but what they were planning was probably only known to them.
Shen Zhinian didn't see most of the people and asked Nanny Xiao to send them away.
Some low-ranking concubines not only did not feel resentful, but instead thought that this was normal.
They are not favored, so how can it be easy for them to get close to the favored concubine?
At this time, Handan came in from outside and announced, "Your Majesty, Concubine Liang and Concubine Xue are here to visit you."
Both of them are the mistresses of a palace, and Concubine Liang is one of the four concubines who manage the harem together with her. Shen Zhinian can't refuse them entry.
"Invite people in."
"Yes."
Liang Fei walked in front, and Xue Fei followed behind. One of them was calm and dignified, and the other was cold and elegant. Both were first-class beauties.
Walking together is quite pleasing to the eye.
Concubine Liang nodded slightly and greeted: "Concubine Xian."
Concubine Xue bowed and saluted: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Madam Xianfei. May you be blessed with good fortune and peace!"
When Shen Zhinian looked at Concubine Liang, his eyes deepened.
The pit that Concubine Shu dug a few days ago is waiting for Concubine Liang. I wonder if Concubine Liang has noticed it?
After just a moment, she looked away and said calmly, "No need to be polite, please take a seat."
"Handan, serve the tea."
Handan said respectfully, "Yes."
Shen Zhinian asked with a smile: "What kind of wind blew Concubine Liang and Concubine Xue to Zhongcui Palace together today?"
Concubine Liang looked at Shen Zhinian gently, with a bit of worry and heartache in her eyes: "I heard that Concubine Xian was injured. I was very worried about her, so I came to visit her today."
"I never thought that Sister Xuepin and I would have the same idea. We met outside and came here together."
Shen Zhinian nodded: "I see."
Concubine Liang's eyes fell on Shen Zhinian's arm, but her wound was covered by the wide sleeves and nothing could be seen.
"How is Concubine Xian's injury? Is it serious?"
Seeing the concern in Concubine Liang's eyes, Shen Zhinian sneered in his heart.
If she had not seen through Concubine Liang's hypocrisy long ago, seeing Concubine Liang like this, she would probably really think that she cared about her very much.
It's just acting, who can't do that?
Shen Zhinian's eyes warmed up and he slowed down his tone: "Thank you for your concern, Concubine Liang. The imperial physician has already checked it and said it's not a problem."
Concubine Liang seemed relieved: "That's good."
From beginning to end, Xuepin spoke very little.
Her personality was originally cold, so she naturally couldn't be as considerate as Concubine Liang. It was enough for her to come and visit Shen Zhinian and know that he was fine.
After the greetings, Concubine Liang gestured to Ruoli and handed over the small box in her hand.
She looked at Shen Zhinian with a look of pity in her eyes: "For us girls, the most important thing is our appearance and skin."
"The virtuous concubine is so charming. If she had any scars on her body, not only Your Majesty, but even I would be heartbroken."
"This is a scar-removing medicine that I specially prepared based on an ancient recipe. I hope it can restore Concubine Xian's arm to its original state."
Xuepin's brows slightly frowned on her cold face.
In the palace, she would not trust anyone easily. Especially something as sensitive as ointment, it would be too easy to use it to harm someone...
However, in front of Concubine Liang, even if Concubine Xue thought so in her heart, she couldn't say it out loud.
However, Shen Zhinian seemed to feel nothing. When he looked up at Concubine Liang, his eyes became much warmer and even a little moved.
"I have been worried these past two days that I would be left with scars on my arms and be disliked by His Majesty. I didn't expect Concubine Liang to be so thoughtful. Thank you so much!"
Concubine Liang smiled slightly and said softly, "We are all sisters, so why should Concubine Xian be polite?"
After that, the three of them talked for a while, and then Concubine Liang stood up and said, "Well, it's getting late, and I still have palace affairs to deal with in Changchun Palace. I won't disturb Concubine Xian anymore."
Shen Zhinian said: "Fuqiu, send Concubine Liang out."
"Yes."
Fuqiu lowered her head and said, "Lady Liangfei, please come this way."
Concubine Xue stood up and gave a perfunctory farewell.
When Concubine Liang disappeared from her sight, Concubine Xue looked at the box of ointment on the table and couldn't help but said, "Concubine Xian should trust the medical skills of the imperial doctors."
Her reminder was obscure, but Shen Zhinian understood what she meant.
Shen Zhinian picked up the ointment on the table and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I dare not use things sent by others casually."
Seeing that she was on guard, Concubine Xue didn't say anything more.
Shen Zhinian's upper body suddenly leaned forward and got closer to Xuepin.
Her delicate and charming face was slightly mischievous, and she blinked at Concubine Xue: "Are you concerned about me?"
Concubine Xue was originally cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and not good at speaking. When Shen Zhinian teased her like this, she couldn't help but look a little unnatural: "...I don't understand what the virtuous concubine is saying."
Shen Zhinian looked at her with a smile and pointed out directly: "You are worried that Concubine Liang has bad intentions and will tamper with the ointment. So you reminded me implicitly that I should just trust the imperial physician and not use her stuff."
"Xuepin, you are clearly concerned about me, why are you embarrassed to admit it?"
Concubine Xue's ears felt hot. She stood up and said, "I have been out for a long time. I don't know if the Second Princess is crying or not. I will take my leave now."
After she finished speaking, she bowed hastily and strode away.
Shen Zhinian couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Handan shook her head helplessly: "Madam, why do you always tease Concubine Xue like this?"
Shen Zhinian said with interest: "Who made her so twisted? She cares about people, but she refuses to admit it."
"Don't you think it's fun to make a person who looks cold but is actually warm-hearted, so that he is at a loss as to what to do?"
Handan and Fuqiu looked at each other, both feeling helpless.
The Queen occasionally says in private that Your Majesty has a bad taste, but isn't she the same herself?
If Your Majesty were a man, who knows how many beauties she would have harmed.
But since she is a woman, she is no less inferior.
First it was Concubine Sun, then Concubine Xue. I'm afraid that one day, your majesty's harem will become her harem...
After dinner, Shen Zhinian was talking to the Fourth Prince in the cradle.
Unfortunately, her arm was injured, so she couldn't hold the sweet and soft little Axu for a while.
The fourth prince is almost five months old, and he is getting fairer and fairer. His cute little face looks like a glutinous rice dumpling, which makes people want to take a bite.
