Chapter 360 Adding Fuel to Concubine De
At this time, Qiuyue came in from outside and reported: "Your Majesty, the royal carriage has passed the Imperial Garden and is coming to Zhongcui Palace."
Shen Zhinian subconsciously said, "Didn't His Majesty come here this morning?"
Why is it happening again?
Although she didn't say the second half of the sentence, Nanny Xiao was a smart person and knew what she meant.
Other queens may wait for the stars and the moon, but they may not be able to see His Majesty. Why does His Majesty come to see the queen, but the queen seems unhappy?
In just a moment, Shen Zhinian put away the expression on his face and replaced it with a gentle and expectant smile: "Get ready to welcome the emperor."
Xiao Zhouzi quickly wiped his face and lowered his head respectfully.
After all, he was a servant of the Zhongcui Palace, and the queen was kind and kind, so it was okay for him to occasionally show his true emotions and express his loyalty. But for a servant to be sentimental in front of the majesty, there was a risk of being impolite.
"Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"
"No need to be polite."
Nangong Xuanyu took Shen Zhinian's hand and helped her up personally.
Her beautiful eyes seemed to be able to speak, looking at him lovingly, with a subtle surprise in them. It seemed that his arrival made her very happy.
The emperor's annoyance dissipated a lot, and he asked in a gentle voice: "Nian Nian seems to be in a good mood?"
All the palace servants in the inner room retreated tactfully.
Shen Zhinian leaned in Nangong Xuanyu's arms, stretched out her slender fingers, and gently drew circles on his chest, saying coquettishly: "No. How can I be happy?"
The smile in the emperor's eyes became even stronger: "Yes, yes, Nian Nian is not happy, it is me who is happy."
She has always been shy, so it's normal that she is embarrassed to admit it, so he stopped teasing Nian Nian.
In fact, Shen Zhinian was really helpless at this moment.
It's not that she was annoyed when she saw Nangong Xuanyu. After all, this man had a face like a fallen immortal, which was pleasing to the eye. She also loved beauty, so she naturally liked to appreciate it.
But since Concubine De and Concubine Liu made such a big fuss today, I'm afraid all the eyes in the palace are on the emperor, wanting to know who he will appease tonight.
But he neither stayed in Chengqian Palace nor in Yongshou Palace, but came to Zhongcui Palace. Wouldn't this definitely make her hate him?
She couldn't let the emperor stay here tonight.
Otherwise, if Concubine De hated her so much and Concubine Liu was jealous, how could she just stand by and watch?
Having said that, Shen Zhinian would not drive people out as soon as the emperor arrived.
The struggle in the harem has always been about taking advantage of every opportunity that can be used.
In just a short while, Shen Zhinian analyzed everything.
She always asked people to pay attention to the movements in Yongshou Palace and Chengqian Palace.
Under normal circumstances, no matter how much the emperor doted on Concubine Liu, she was so domineering in the harem and even injured Concubine De. In order to quell the rumors, the emperor would definitely give Concubine Liu some symbolic punishment.
But until the emperor came, there was no news that Concubine Liu had been punished.
This shows that deep down in the emperor's heart, he felt that Concubine Liu did nothing wrong. He even wanted to take this opportunity to give Concubine De a warning.
It must be that Concubine Liu asked the eldest princess to tell the emperor what Concubine De said, and this man believed most of it.
The current situation is -
Concubine Liu slapped Concubine De under the pretext of wearing a flower in her hair. In the emperor's view, others were not aware that Concubine De wanted to instigate the eldest princess to do evil.
So Nangong Xuanyu didn't know that Shen Zhinian had already found out that Concubine De was trying to plot against her, and she thought she was helping Concubine De hide it from her.
Because of this, he must have felt guilty towards her, which was why he came to see her again late at night.
What Shen Zhinian needs to do is to make good use of this and deepen Nangong Xuanyu's feelings for her!
After figuring out all these twists and turns, Shen Zhinian raised her eyes to look at the emperor, her voice soft and with a hint of concern in her tone: "Your Majesty, I heard about what happened in Qianqiu Pavilion."
"As for the conflict between the Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine, I believe Your Majesty will make a wise decision, so I will not speak nonsense."
"It's just... I heard that Concubine De was beaten, and on the way back to Chengqian Palace, she fell off the sedan chair. I wonder if her injuries are serious? What does the imperial physician say?"
Nangong Xuanyu's mood suddenly became extremely complicated...
If what the Imperial Concubine said was true, then Concubine De originally intended to plot against Nian Nian's child.
Nothing serious has happened yet, and for the sake of the Third Prince's face, he does not intend to make the matter public.
Nian Nian is so innocent and kind, but she is kept in the dark and knows nothing. She is still worried about Concubine De...
Even...she trusted him so much, but he had to keep it a secret from her for the sake of the overall situation...
At this moment, he felt both indebted and distressed towards the woman in front of him...
At the same time, he became even more dissatisfied with Concubine De!
"Niannian, sometimes you don't need to care so much about others. Just pay more attention to yourself."
Shen Zhinian looked at Nangong Xuanyu affectionately: "In fact, what I really care about is not the Empress Defei, but Your Majesty..."
"The Empress Defei is the mother of the Third Prince. Although the Third Prince is still very young, the mother and son are connected by heart. If something happens to the Empress Defei, the Third Prince will sense it and will definitely cry and make a fuss."
"When the time comes, your majesty will be distressed again."
"Your Majesty has to deal with so many state affairs every day, it's already hard enough. How can Nian Nian bear to let Your Majesty worry about the affairs of the harem again? So Nian Nian hopes that Her Majesty Defei will be safe and sound."
Nangong Xuanyu's heart was extremely shaken. He hugged Shen Zhinian, wishing he could merge her into his own flesh and blood...
He simply couldn't imagine how heartbroken and sad Nian Nian would be if she knew that Concubine De was plotting against her and their child behind her back...
The more this happened, the more guilty he felt towards her.
For a moment, he actually wished that he was not an emperor.
Because the woman in his arms, although she has developed some thorns as she grew up, she still cannot change her kind and beautiful nature, and she never speculates about others with malice.
Even when others were secretly trying to harm her, she was still foolishly thinking about others...
Such a simple person is not suitable for survival in the harem.
Since God sent Nian Nian to him, he must protect her well!
"...I already know your true feelings for me."
"You don't have to worry about what happens between the Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine. Just stay in the Zhongcui Palace and take good care of your pregnancy and give birth to our child."
As for other things, he will clear the obstacles for her!
Shen Zhinian lowered her eyelids slightly to hide the flash of sarcasm in her eyes, and said shyly: "I will listen to your majesty..."
Nangong Xuanyu touched the hair on the back of her head and said softly, "Okay, it's getting late, let's rest early."
Shen Zhinian knew that the emperor's dissatisfaction with Concubine De had deepened a lot.
At this time, she would add fuel to the fire!
