Chapter 293 Chen promised to surrender to the person who passed the note
"I have seen your Majesty, may you live in peace and happiness."
Chen agreed to kneel down and salute, keeping his eyes on Consort Nianhulu's chin, without looking around at all, and every move he made was flawless.
Concubine Niuhulu glanced at the woman below her and called out nonchalantly, Chen agreed to thank her and carefully sat down on the embroidered stool one-third of the way up, then raised her head and pursed her lips and said:
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I was feeling unwell a few days ago and was unable to pay my respects to you. Now that I am feeling better, I took the liberty to come here."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Nianhulu picked up the teacup to hide the sarcasm in her eyes. How could she not know whether Chen Da Ying was feeling unwell?
It was just that Chen Da Ying was too clever before and self-righteously took advantage of the fact that Concubine Xian was caught cheating, which led to Concubine Xian reconciling with the Emperor after the affair was cleared up, leaving herself embarrassed.
It also made those who had previously mistakenly thought that Chen Da Ying was valued by the emperor angry and humiliated, and they added insult to injury. Their treatment plummeted, and they had to keep a low profile.
He understood in his heart, but drank a sip of tea gracefully. After putting down the teacup, he said with a warm face:
"Chen promised to be more polite, but those are just empty formalities. Your health is more important."
After hearing this, Chen Da Ying quickly thanked the imperial concubine for her concern, and then the two of them chatted about daily life and talked about some interesting things, but they were all trivial matters. It was not until Chen Da Ying noticed that Imperial Concubine Nianhulu showed a hint of impatience that he told her the purpose of his trip.
"My Lady, in addition to paying my respects to you today, I have something else to ask..."
She put down the teacup, looking somewhat uneasy and uneasy.
Concubine Nianhulu thought to herself that it finally came out.
She looked at Chen and agreed.
Very generous:
"You are one of my palace's people. Although you entered the palace late and were not familiar with me at first, after more than half a year, we are all sisters. It's okay to speak frankly."
Chen Da Ying looked at Concubine Niu Hulu with gratitude, and his expression relaxed slightly before he finished the rest of his words:
"It was about the incident that day when I caught him cheating. I had no bad intentions. I just told what I saw, but others misunderstood me."
She bit her lip lightly, seeming to feel very aggrieved:
“But after I returned, I remembered something. When I saw Empress Xian, Qing’er was beside her. But when I returned from my meal, I saw Qing’er leaving with Xiao Ruzi, the chief eunuch beside Empress Xian.
It is said that Qing'er was threatened to give Empress Xian a drug. She should have stayed by Empress Xian's side all the time. Why did she leave Empress Xian? Did Empress Xian order her to do so? Empress Xian was really lucky. She was drugged but happened to be in the imperial tent, so it didn't turn into a tragedy!"
Hearing this, Concubine Niuhulu narrowed her eyes unconsciously, and her expression showed that she was thinking about something. At this time, Chen Da Ying said casually:
"And Wu Su promised that I was equal to her in rank and that we were seated next to each other. I accidentally saw her looking at the emperor with affectionate eyes many times. How could she have an affair with a eunuch... a eunuch? It would seem like..."
"What does it look like?"
When Concubine Nianhulu heard this, a light bulb went off in her head, as if she had grasped something, but there was just a thin membrane blocking it, so she hurriedly asked.
Chen agreed and bowed his head slightly.
Said softly:
"It seems that Empress Xian knew from the beginning that Wu Su had agreed to the adultery plot, but she just quietly followed the plan and changed the target."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if the sky was opened for all to see, and Concubine Nianhulu finally understood everything.
That's it, that's what makes sense.
She had her doubts about the adultery that happened that day.
After all, it was Concubine Ping who framed Concubine Xian. Even if it was a mistake, why should Wu Su have played the role of catching the adulterer? Why did she ruin her future and run to the mountain cave to have an affair with Xiao Anzi at that time?
Moreover, Wu Su agreed and said that someone covered his mouth and took him to the hillside. Who was that person? Many doubts did not make sense.
But apart from Mo Yun, there were no eyewitnesses to what happened that day. Maybe Wusu Da Ying just had a brain seizure. Or maybe, framing Concubine Xian was fake, and framing Wusu Da Ying was real?
But no matter whether it is true or false, a little Wu Su who did not serve the emperor in the night was dead, and she still despised her for being useless and failing to successfully frame Empress Xian!
So she just left it alone, but after hearing what Chen agreed to, Concubine Nianhulu felt a little excited and annoyed.
What was exciting was that they had caught Empress Xian with something wrong. If that was the case, then Wu Su's agreement to have an affair with Xiao Anzi in public was a frame-up by Empress Xian.
What would be the emperor's reaction when he found out about this kind of scheming person who caused him to lose face in public?
What’s annoying is that if the emperor had realized it earlier, he might not have reconciled with Concubine Xian.
But it is not too late now, and Concubine Nianhulu cheered up.
She looked at Chen Da Ying carefully.
After a while, he said:
"What Chen promised was that there was indeed something fishy about the adultery incident. Even though I am no longer in charge of the palace, I still have my own duties as a noble concubine. I cannot watch a concubine die unjustly. You are very good. When you have time in the future, come to me more often to talk."
Chen Da Ying felt relieved immediately. Before coming to Mulan Paddock, she had decided to take the opportunity to climb into the emperor's bed, and then use this opportunity to get close to Concubine Nianhulu, be officially accepted by her as a favorite, and receive Concubine Nianhulu's support.
Unfortunately, the previous goal was not achieved, and seeing that she had offended Empress Xian again, she had to change her way to get closer to Concubine Nianhulu.
Now that her goal has been achieved, she immediately said in surprise:
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. It is my honor to be able to talk with you."
Afterwards, Concubine Nianhulu was thinking about something and spoke absent-mindedly. Chen Da Ying understood and left quickly.
After Chen agreed to leave, Nanny Qin replaced the Empress' cup of tea and said:
"Your Majesty, that Chen may seem to have surrendered, but he actually wants to use you to deal with Concubine Xian. He has bad intentions!"
Concubine Niuhulu took the new tea.
He chuckled softly:
"I know that she wants to use my power to climb into the emperor's bed. I will give her a chance. It depends on whether she can withstand it."
A gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and she whispered to Nanny Qin for a moment. When she finished speaking, Nanny Qin's eyes lit up.
"Your Majesty is wise. The smarter people like Chen Da Ying want to climb up the social ladder, and they are likely to do some "wrong things" during this period. But Your Majesty has no idea that Chen Da Ying is a scheming person. He is just helping out because they are in the same palace."
The master and servant looked at each other and smiled.
On the other side, Shi Nanxi and Kangxi came back after watching the sunset. Kangxi went to handle official business, and Shi Nanxi returned to her tent.
Xiao Ruzi came in first and reported:
"My lady, I have finally found the person who passed the note to us."
"Oh?"
Shi Nanxi was lying lazily on the couch holding Xixi in her arms, and turned her head to the side when she heard the words.
"who is it?"
Xiao Ruzi whispered:
"It was a servant eunuch brought by Concubine Ping. His name was Xiao Muzi. He was from the same hometown as a gatekeeper eunuch in Changchun Palace. On the day when Concubine Ping's little prince died, the gatekeeper eunuch saw the emperor coming to visit the little prince, so he ran to report to Concubine Ping. As a result, Concubine Ping mistakenly thought that the emperor came to see her, which made her lose face, so she punished him with thirty strokes of the cane.
In the end, the gatekeeper eunuch didn't make it and died. The gatekeeper eunuch had once been kind to Xiao Muzi. After the gatekeeper eunuch died, Xiao Muzi was determined to take revenge. That's why he secretly handed us the note after hearing about Pingpin's plot."
"So that's how it is. He is indeed a man of affection and righteousness." Shi Nanxi hugged Xixi and sighed.
At this time, Xiao Ruzi said:
"That little Muzi said that the queen helped him to avenge his death. It was a great favor and he could never repay her. From now on, as long as the queen needs him, he will go through fire and water without hesitation."
This is an intentional surrender!
