Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

Chapter 255 The Emperor is not coming tonight

"Could it be that she has provoked someone she shouldn't have provoked over the years?"

Seeing that Zhou Defu didn't say anything, she continued to ask.

But he just smiled, laughed it off and said no more.

"Your Highness, you should take a good rest and don't get involved in things that you shouldn't be involved in. The Queen is so capable that she will definitely find the real culprit immediately."

Return to the bedroom.

Bitao also advised Shen Zhishu not to look so sad.

The dead people and what happened had little to do with her, so why worry about it?

But I have a feeling that something might happen to Concubine Yue and the Queen Mother.

Shen Zhishu looked at the carefree Bitao and sighed.

Whatever.

Even if she wanted to control it, she couldn't do anything at the moment.

So, she took a nap as usual.

It’s strange, the last time the pregnancy reaction was not obvious, but this time, after just a short while, she felt sleepy all the time and always wanted to sleep.

When I woke up, it was dark.

When dinner was served, Bitao specially brought up a bowl of medicine soup.

But he had a bitter face.

"Who made you unhappy?"

"The Emperor ordered Eunuch Zhou to deliver this tranquilizing soup, and he also told me that he would not come tonight."

Bitao looked aggrieved, as if she was the one who was suddenly out of favor.

"The Emperor is very busy with government affairs. Why do you still want to see him every day?"

"It's not that I want to see him. Your Majesty, please don't slander me. I just asked around and found out that the Emperor is now... with the Queen."

Bitao stamped her feet anxiously, looking unhappy.

So he went to look for Su Rong?

Shen Zhishu was stunned for a moment.

"That's also for business. Someone died in the harem, and the Empress must be investigating. The Emperor naturally wants to settle the matter as soon as possible."

"Have you forgotten, Your Majesty, that since entering the palace and parting unhappily in Lanfang Courtyard that night, the Emperor has never visited the Empress at night. This is the first time."

Bitao said this very seriously.

With a beginning, the meaning is different.

No matter what the reason, he is now with the Queen, and the Queen will definitely find ways to keep him.

"Then have you forgotten that she is the queen, and she and the emperor are married to each other, and they got married earlier than me, and the child in her belly is also the eldest son."

So isn't it normal for the emperor to go to the queen?

"My lady, how can you say that?"

Bitao was so stunned by these words that she couldn't say anything.

This is true, but as the emperor's favorite concubine, how can she think from the queen's side?

"So, even if our queen doesn't win the emperor's favor, she still has all the advantages now."

Su Rong is no longer crazy about Yan Chu's infatuation with someone else. Perhaps from the initial rejection and disbelief, she has become numb imperceptibly now.

But she would never accept that.

"That's right. After all, the Queen was born noble. She is the best among the noble ladies in Kyoto in terms of reputation and status."

Bitao felt a little depressed after hearing what her master said.

To be fair, the current queen is very good in terms of status, family affairs, talent, and brains...

It seems that they are all above their own masters.

Therefore, the more this happened, the more worried Bi Tao became. She was always afraid that the favor her empress had received would be taken away by the Queen at any time.

"That's right. Everything is the best. I wonder how many people would envy her for having such conditions."

Shen Zhishu had just woken up and had no strength in his body, so he put his arms on the table and leaned lazily.

"Your Highness, you are also very good, and you are not easy to find. Don't be discouraged. You are favored by the Emperor and you are pregnant with the heir. You will definitely be very good in the future."

Bitao was worried, but couldn't bear to see the empress sad, so she hurried to comfort her.

be discouraged?

I was just thinking about how to make her lose it all.

"Has the Queen Mother returned to the palace?"

The emperor is not coming, but she can go out for a walk.

"The Empress Dowager was upset. When she heard that you had just left Lanfang Courtyard, she returned to Cining Palace."

"Then do some simple makeup for me, and I'll go visit the Queen Mother."

"At this time? I'm afraid the Queen Mother has already fallen asleep."

Bitao was surprised.

"If you can't see it, just treat it as a digestive tract after a meal."

Shen Zhishu decided to go.

Half an hour later.

In the Cining Palace.

Shen Zhishu met the Queen Mother.

She had taken off her makeup and her long hair was loose.

However, she looked very healthy even without any makeup on, and even better than she did during the day.

"You're here so late, what's the matter?"

She smiled faintly, but her smile was inexplicably cold.

It is completely different from the kind-hearted and compassionate appearance of Buddha in the daytime.

Shen Zhishu lowered his eyes and nodded, very respectful.

"I was worried that you were frightened today and couldn't sleep well, so I came to check on you."

"Isn't it because the Emperor went to the Queen's place tonight that you are uneasy?"

But the Queen Mother didn't seem to believe her lies.

And he laughed and joked.

"It must be about the murder of Aunt Li. I don't think that much."

She really doesn't care.

It's just one night, how could the emperor change his mind so easily?

"You have a good attitude."

The Queen Mother smiled calmly.

As she spoke, a bowl of glutinous rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice wine was brought to her.

"You are lucky. I cooked glutinous rice balls tonight. Sweet osmanthus wine is a special delicacy of my Cining Palace. You can try it."

There is also sweet osmanthus floating in the soup, and a faint sweet osmanthus fragrance wafts into the air along with the aroma of wine.

Shen Zhishu had just finished dinner, and when he smelled this, he felt hungry again.

"Thank you."

Then she thanked Aunt Du who brought her the dumplings, picked up the bowl and ate in small bites.

The wine aroma is very strong, the glutinous rice balls have thin skin and rich fillings, and are sweet but not greasy, and surprisingly delicious.

So before he knew it, all six dumplings in the bowl went into his stomach.

"You didn't have dinner, so you come to my house to ask for food?"

The Queen Mother looked somewhat amused and helpless.

The expression is a little helpless, but much more vivid.

Shen Zhishu actually thought she was very happy.

Because she ate the glutinous rice balls?

"I just came here after eating, but I didn't expect your glutinous rice balls to be so delicious. The ones made by the chefs in the imperial kitchen are not as good as yours. Is there a cooking god hidden here, mother?"

She couldn't say that she had a good appetite and was greedy.

Since the Queen Mother is happy, there shouldn't be any problem if you continue to praise her.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother's smile deepened.

"I'm not some god of cooking. This is just Madam Du's unique skill. I just like this dish. I've been eating it for decades and I never get tired of it."

"Madame Du can actually cook?"

Hearing this, Shen Zhishu was extremely shocked.

This Madam Du looks very cold, and worldly things don't seem to suit her at all.

"That's all. This is my mother's secret recipe. After she passed away, I am the only one in the world who can make this kind of flavor."

As she spoke, she was quite proud and looked towards the Queen Mother.

Speaking of this bowl of glutinous rice balls, she could feel that the Queen Mother and Nanny Du were both in a strange mood.
