Chapter 258 Chu Xiyan and Shen Zhinian talk about the previous chapter
Concubine Liang nodded gently: "Everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Rou is kind and kind. If you go and apologize to her, how can she not forgive you?"
"Yes! Sister Liang Fei is right!"
Concubine Meng seemed to have finally found a way to survive, and breathed a sigh of relief: "I don't want to die, and I don't want to be framed by anyone again. I must get Concubine Rou's forgiveness!"
Perhaps because she was still thinking about this matter, after saying this, Concubine Meng left in a hurry.
Ruoli looked in the direction she left and pointed at her head: "My Lady, is there something wrong with Concubine Meng?"
"I'm afraid Concubine Rou feels that Lady Meng is not even qualified to be her rival. Why does Lady Meng always think that Concubine Rou will kill her?"
Concubine Liang still smiled like a bodhisattva: "Everyone has their own face. Concubine Meng bullies the weak and fears the strong. She is tough on the outside but weak on the inside. It's not surprising that she has such thoughts. I hope that after some efforts, she can get Concubine Rou's forgiveness."
Ruoli couldn't help but say, "But Concubine Rou didn't even bother to attack Concubine Meng. If she ran over like this for no reason and begged her to let her live, Concubine Rou would definitely be disgusted..."
Having said that, Ruoli finally came to his senses.
Yes.
Pregnant women should avoid being in a bad mood.
What if Concubine Rou was disgusted by Concubine Meng and got angry, causing problems for the heir to the throne...
Ruoli lowered his head and smiled, then remembered another thing, his face suddenly darkened: "The one in Kunning Palace has had his seal and treasure taken away, yet he is still so restless!"
"I originally thought Xia Chan was a loyal person, but I didn't expect that she was actually the Queen's person! It seems that Chun Ying's death was also deliberately planned by her!"
"Fortunately, this time, Xia Chan just pushed Concubine Meng to take the blame, and she has been beaten to death by His Majesty. Otherwise, there would be such a hidden danger. What if she obeyed the Queen's orders one day and did something to us..."
"My lady, do you need to place new nails next to Concubine Meng?"
Although the palace maids assigned to Noble Lady Meng were all selected by Concubine Liang from the Imperial Household Department, except Chunying and Xiachan, the others were ordinary palace maids and eunuchs.
After all, a lady like Meng would not need her to place so many obstacles around the other person.
Concubine Liang looked at the flowers on the table that had been squeezed dry of juice, with a compassionate smile on her face: "No need."
Some people are like these flowers. Every last drop of their value has been squeezed out and there is no need to waste any more time on them.
……
On this day, Shen Zhinian, as usual, went for a walk in the Imperial Garden accompanied by a group of palace servants.
Yuan Bao spotted the person behind the flowers and shouted, "Who is sneaking around there?!"
A young palace maid trembled, and hurriedly came out and knelt on the ground: "Your servant... Your servant Xiyan, a palace maid from Ruyi Pavilion, greets Concubine Rou. May your Majesty be blessed with good health!"
Shen Zhinian glanced at her and said nothing.
Yuan Bao asked coldly, "You are not working at Ruyi Pavilion, what are you doing here sneaking around?!"
Xiao Mingzi said "Huh" and recognized Chu Xiyan: "It's you?"
Shen Zhinian looked at Xiao Mingzi: "Do you know each other?"
Xiao Mingzi shook his head and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I don't really know you."
"Once, I was passing by the Imperial Garden and was accidentally bumped into by this little palace maid."
Chu Xiyan then said tremblingly: "You, please report to Concubine Rou, I have no other intentions. Last time, I accidentally bumped into Eunuch Ming and was beaten by Nanny. Not only did Eunuch Ming not blame me, he also pleaded for me in front of Nanny."
"So, so I just delivered the painting and passed by the Imperial Garden. I saw Eunuch Ming here, so I wanted to come up and thank him..."
"It's just... it's just that because Your Majesty is here, I dare not go forward to disturb Your Majesty, so I hid behind the flowers. Please forgive me, Your Majesty! Please forgive me!"
Shen Zhinian waved her hand: "I am not a man-eating monster, why are you so scared? Get up."
Chu Xiyan then raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead: "Thank you, Madam Roupin!"
"Your Highness is as beautiful as a fairy, of course she is not a monster. It's just that I, a humble servant, never dared to think that one day I would be able to talk to your Highness, so I was nervous..."
Shen Zhinian chuckled: "He's quite sweet-talking."
"Okay, go ahead."
Chu Xiyan responded with a "yes", bowed respectfully and then left.
After her figure disappeared, Shen Zhinian turned his head to look at Xiao Mingzi: "What do you think of that little palace maid named Xiyan?"
It was not that she was overthinking it, but there were too many people in the palace who wanted to get close to her for various purposes, so Shen Zhinian had to be cautious.
Xiao Mingzi said: "This is the second time I have seen her. I wonder if she has other intentions."
"Please rest assured, Madam Queen, I will thoroughly investigate Xi Yan's origins and background!"
Shen Zhinian nodded and no longer paid attention to Chu Xiyan.
Just as she finished her walk and was about to go back, she ran into Concubine Meng.
Without saying anything, Concubine Meng knelt down with a plop and began to kowtow to Shen Zhinian: "Madam Roupin, I know that I was blinded by greed in the past and have offended you in many ways. I really know my mistakes now, please forgive me!"
Shen Zhinian's eyes turned cold: "Mrs. Meng, what are you doing?!"
The Imperial Garden was bustling with people coming and going, and when Concubine Meng acted like this, people who didn't know what was going on might think that Concubine Meng had done something to her!
Recalling the nightmares she had these days, Concubine Meng's face turned pale as paper: "Madam Roupin, I really didn't mean to go against you before!"
"You are still the queen with a stable status, and I have been demoted to a noble lady and have lost my favor. I really can't pose any threat to you! Please show mercy and give me a chance to live!"
Shen Zhinian asked coldly, "When did I say I was going to do something to you? You are acting like this for no reason. Do you want to use the attitude of a weak person to put me in an unjust position?!"
Concubine Meng's body trembled even more: "Compared to Concubine Rou, I am the weak one... Your Majesty is in a higher position, what's wrong with being more kind and compassionate to the weak?"
"I no longer dare to go against you. I just want to survive in the harem. Why is it that even after I have said so much, Your Majesty is still unwilling to forgive me?"
"Your Highness is beautiful, has an heir, and is favored by His Majesty, but I have nothing... I have already apologized to Your Highness in such a humble way, what else do you want me to do?"
The palace servants passing by were all surprised when they saw this scene. Some of the brave ones even lowered their voices and began to whisper.
Looking at Concubine Meng's unreasonable and unreasonable attitude, Shen Zhinian felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly!
