Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 225: Get Huangpin out of Ningyuxuan

Ningyuxuan.

Huang Ye was sitting at the table writing a letter to her family. Although the little Prince Fu went to the mansion every day, she was still worried if her family didn't see her letter.

First of all, she wanted to write a letter to her whole family, telling them that she was doing well, that the emperor and the retired emperor treated her very well, that the empress dowager and Xu Rou would occasionally provoke her, but as long as she didn't make any mistakes, they couldn't do anything to her, so she asked her family to rest assured. From now on, the prince would make a visit every month to deliver a letter to them and let them know about her recent situation.

Then it was written to Qing Yuer. Since the second house had been separated, with the ability of the second master of the Bo Mansion, he was just a second or third rate family in the capital. If it weren't for the empress dowager and Xu Rou in the palace, he would probably have no presence in the capital.

Therefore, Huang Ye gave Qing Yuer clear instructions to withdraw all the people who were monitoring the Bo Mansion and start focusing on the Queen's maiden home, the Zhenxi Palace. Huang Ye's intuition has always been accurate. After entering the palace, she found that the Queen was the one with the greatest hostility towards her besides Xu Rou and the Queen Mother. If she wanted to deal with it, she had to plan ahead.

Huang Ye emphasized to Qing Yuer that he should try his best to get someone into the Zhenxi Palace, and also to place someone in the home of the Minister of Personnel Shi Zhong, as they might be useful when the time comes.

In addition, she also made a list of things she wanted, which included some marinade ingredients and pills she had made in her house before. She was afraid of being checked when she entered the palace that time, so she did not bring them in. The prince had to make two extra trips to bring these things back.

After writing the letter, Huang Ye called the prince in and tied the folded and oil-wrapped letters to the prince's legs: "Prince, you are my most trusted partner. From now on, I will leave such a confidential matter as delivering letters to you. I don't trust anyone else. Thank you for your hard work."

The prince was so moved that he flapped his wings on his chest, feeling proud of his master's trust. His master said for the second time that he was a partner, and he would live up to his master's trust and deliver the letters safely.

Kunning Palace.

The queen swept the teapot and teacups on the table to the ground, and crackling sounds immediately rang out in the room. If she hadn't been rational, she would have wanted to overturn the table.

Lan Ruo stood in the room not daring to breathe. There were only two of them in the room. When they went out later, she would say that she had dropped these things accidentally. This kind of thing happened more than once or twice. Every time, she was terrified. The Queen's temper was becoming more and more uncontrollable.

"You mean, that Concubine Huang, dined at the same table with the retired emperor and several other people for nearly two hours." Jealousy made the queen unrecognizable. She was a queen, and she had never eaten with the emperor, the retired emperor and other core figures of the Great Xia Dynasty. What right did that Concubine Huang have to eat with them?

"It was passed on by our people, so it should be correct." Lan Ruo replied nervously.

"Lanruo, you have been in the palace for several years. When I brought that Concubine Huang to Ningyuxuan, why didn't you remind me that place was so close to the retired emperor..." The queen looked at Lanruo sinisterly and said.

"That Concubine Huang, didn't she curry favor with the retired emperor just because she was close to him, and then curry favor with the emperor? Why didn't you remind me of such an obvious loophole?" The queen's voice became louder and louder.

"Your Majesty, it's all my fault. Please punish me." Lan Ruo knelt down. She knew she couldn't explain herself at this moment. If she said anything more, the Queen would become even more furious.

"You also know it's your fault?" The queen picked up a needlework basket and smashed it on Lan Ruo's head. "Useless thing, when you came here, mother said you were useful, but I didn't expect you to be so useless. You can't even do a small thing. What's the use of you?"

Lan Ruo was hit on the forehead by the scissors in the sewing basket. A stream of blood flowed down her forehead and dripped onto the ground. She didn't dare to move and let the blood drip.

The queen saw that the blood on her head had subsided by half, so she walked forward and pressed a handkerchief on the wound on her forehead, and her tone became a little slower: "You are an old man by my side, and I didn't control my temper well today and hurt you. You should get up and clean up. It's up to you to decide what to say."

Lan Ruo stood up, holding the scarf on her head. Maybe because of her old age and the bleeding, she felt a little dizzy. She supported herself on the table for a while, then bowed to the queen and walked out. She called the palace maid waiting outside to come in and clean up, and then walked towards her house alone.

The queen sat by the table and watched the palace maids cleaning up the broken porcelain pieces and bloodstains on the floor without saying a word. She didn't worry that such a small matter would spread. Now the entire harem was in her control. It was that Concubine Huang who had become a thorn in her side. She had to find a way to move her out of Ningyuxuan. Only by leaving there would she not use the emperor emeritus to get close to the emperor.

The Queen now regretted her decision very much. When the Emperor blamed her for placing Concubine Huang in Ningyuxuan, why didn't she change her mind immediately? She would have won the Emperor's favor and avoided the troubles she faced today.

Or it's because the people around her are not capable enough. The queen now dislikes Lan Ruo very much. She thought of someone, this person is the old nanny who is in charge of the Kunning Palace. She also surrendered after she came in, but she had her own people around her, so she never used her. She always let her take care of some miscellaneous trivial matters in the Kunning Palace. Now that Lan Ruo is useless, why not call her over and ask her if she has any good suggestions? That Concubine Huang can no longer live in Ningyuxuan.
