Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 408: Old Mountain Ginseng Delivered to Shen Zhinian

The little maidservant was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a plop, her body trembling: "I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong!"

Little did she know that the more frightened she was, the more annoyed Concubine Liu became: "Why are you letting her stand here? Hurry up and drag her out!"

The little maid knew Concubine Liu's temper, and seemed to understand what would happen if she was dragged out. She immediately kowtowed and said, "My Lady Concubine, please spare me! My Lady Concubine, please spare me!"

Cuizhu and Xiaohuazi both knew that the little palace maid had done nothing wrong, but the Empress had been in a bad mood these days, and would find a place to vent her anger as soon as things went wrong.

As the closest people to the queen, they must of course put the queen's interests first and immediately advised: "Quit your anger, queen!"

"If this matter reaches His Majesty's ears, I'm afraid His Majesty will be unhappy again."

Only then did Concubine Liu realize that she was planning to regain the emperor's favor and could not let him think that she still had the same hot temper as before.

Seeing that Concubine Liu's expression had eased a little, Cuizhu quickly winked at the little palace maid: "You tactless slave, get out of here!"

The young palace maid knew that although she would never be qualified to serve in the inner room again, her life was saved at least, so she immediately crawled away.

At this time, another palace maid came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Xiyan from Ruyi Pavilion has delivered the framed painting."

Concubine Liu said coldly: "Let her come in."

"Yes."

When Chu Xiyan came over, she happened to see the little palace maid who was fanning herself. She was so scared that her face turned pale and full of tears, and she left tremblingly.

She lowered her head with a mocking look on her face.

Another poor guy who was almost attacked by Concubine Liu.

After entering the palace for so long, Chu Xiyan had heard many things about Concubine Liu. Some said she was arrogant and domineering, some said she had a hot temper, and some said she was overbearing and tyrannical.

But no one has ever said that Concubine Liu was vicious.

Because in the eyes of the people in the palace, Concubine Liu usually took direct action when she encountered something, unlike many concubines who came up with vicious schemes one after another.

And she never harmed the royal heir.

In the harem, he is already a rare kind person.

Some people even praised Concubine Liu as a person of temperament!

Chu Xiyan listened and felt it was extremely ironic!

Yes! From Concubine Liu's perspective, she certainly wouldn't think she was vicious. She was born in a prominent family, held a high position, and had always been in a high position. How could she take the people below her seriously?

She just had no regard for human life.

In her eyes, the lives of the lower class people are not as precious as a teacup or a chair in Yongshou Palace. Of course, if they die, they die.

How could a noble concubine care about ants...

But... ants also have families and relatives. They can also experience the pain of having their families torn apart, and thus develop infinite hatred!

She ignored the life of my servant, and one day she will be retaliated against by me!

Stepping into the inner room, Chu Xiyan tried hard to suppress the hatred in her heart, kneeling on the ground and saluting with great respect: "This servant greets the Imperial Concubine, and I wish you good luck and peace!"

Concubine Liu raised her eyes and glanced at her: "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Concubine!"

Chu Xiyan stood up and respectfully handed over the scroll in her hand: "Your Majesty, the portrait I drew for you and the eldest princess last time has been framed."

Xiaohuazi immediately stepped forward to take it and slowly unfolded it.

The mother and daughter painted on it were lifelike, playing among the flowers, and the atmosphere was warm and beautiful.

Looking at this touching scene, Concubine Liu's mood suddenly improved a lot.

The eldest princess came in from outside with her short legs. She looked at the portrait and clapped her hands repeatedly: "It's Yun'er and mother! They look so similar! Yun'er likes it!"

When Concubine Liu's eyes fell on the eldest princess, a hint of tenderness appeared in her eyes. She walked forward, picked her up and touched her cheek.

Then, Concubine Liu looked at Chu Xiyan and said nonchalantly: "Since the eldest princess likes it, you have done a great deed, and you will be rewarded!"

Concubine Liu always wanted those she loved to live and those she hated to die. She was never stingy with her help for those who could make her happy.

No one knows how much pain Chu Xiyan's heart hurts every time she sees the happiness of her enemy's mother and daughter getting along with each other!

She lowered her head and bit her lips hard to suppress the tears that were gushing out of her eyes. She said with joy: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward!"

"Please forgive me for being so bold... Children grow up fast and look different every few days. If the Imperial Concubine is willing to give me this opportunity, I am willing to paint the eldest princess from time to time and record her growth!"

Concubine Liu certainly hopes that when Yun'er grows up, she can see what she looked like from childhood to adulthood.

Few mothers could refuse such a proposal, and Yun'er also liked to be painted.

Concubine Liu immediately said, "Yes."

Chu Xiyan kowtowed heavily on the ground several times: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your favor! I will do my best to record the growth of the eldest princess!"

Mother, Father, she is one step closer to revenge!

……

Zhongcui Palace.

Knowing that Concubine Liu had set her sights on her belly, Shen Zhinian had people keeping an eye on what was happening in Yongshou Palace.

Although her people could not enter there, they could still find out who had been to Yongshou Palace.

Naturally, the news of Chu Xiyan coming in and out of Yongshou Palace also reached Shen Zhinian's ears.

How come the palace maid named Xiyan, who had previously vowed to be willing to work for her, now tried to curry favor with Concubine Liu?

A slave should not serve two masters, otherwise he will never have a good ending. Many people understand this truth. Shen Zhinian thinks that with the other party's cleverness, he should not do such a stupid thing.

Seeing her expression, Xiao Mingzi took the opportunity to say, "Madam, why don't I find a chance to find out why Xiyan went in and out of Yongshou Palace."

"If she can gain the trust of the Imperial Concubine... maybe she can be used by us!"

Shen Zhinian nodded.

At this time, Fuqiu strode in from outside holding a box and said with a smile, "Madam, Madam Zhou knows that you will give birth soon, so she sent someone to bring this gift in!"

"Imperial Doctor Tang has checked it out and it is indeed an extremely rare medicinal herb. I'm afraid it's hard to find even in the palace!"

Madam Zhou is Zhao Yungui.

Asking Tang Luochuan to check is not because he does not trust the Zhou family, but there are too many chances that things sent in from outside the palace could be tampered with during the process, so he has to ensure that there is no chance of error.

"What is so mysterious?"

Shen Zhinian opened the lid and saw the old mountain ginseng lying inside.

With this size, this color, and this medicinal fragrance, it is truly a treasure among treasures, the kind that cannot be bought even with money!

Even though Shen Zhinian was a first-rank lady in her previous life, she had never seen old mountain ginseng of this quality!

Not to mention her, even old people in the palace like Madam Xiao were shocked!
