After a change of the topic, the Queen Mother took a sip of hot tea and said lightly: "But even if Concubine Ning lost her holy favor, she would not end up in a miserable end. You may have to think about the reason behind this."

Concubine Shu opened her mouth again, but after a while, she couldn't reveal a word.

Concubine Ning is indeed weakened because of Chen Lanxi and His Majesty. But she is still the second fourth concubine in the palace and holds great power.

She doesn't need His Majesty to be favored by her for the rest of her life. She just needs His Majesty to think about her old love a little and then manage the common affairs in the palace.

She even made friends with Chen Lanxi, helping Chen Lanxi to gain more opportunities from His Majesty's place again and again...

In the future, if Chen Lanxi climbs up, he will be a friend but not an enemy...

Thinking of Concubine Ning’s various proper arrangements and thinking about her current situation, how could Concubine Shu speak again?

The Empress Dowager asked her at this moment: "I heard that Chen Lanxi was originally the person standing on your side, so you couldn't tolerate her and forced her to push her out?"

"I..." Concubine Shu trembled and fell into deeper fear in an instant.

She had actually forgotten this matter.

In other words, I don’t want to think too much, so I am buried in the depths of my memory.

Chen Lanxi was the one she ordered into the palace and was originally considered respectful to her. Logically speaking, as long as she used a little means, she could trap people in her own camp, but she was because of some trivial matters...

"Forget it, I won't mention the past." Seeing that Concubine Shu's expression changed a few times, the Empress Dowager finally waved her hand and told her not to think about the past.

Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief, but when she mentioned Shen Lanxi again, she was still embarrassed: "What should Chen Lanxi do? Let's take it seriously... let it go without paying attention?"

My aunt made a point, but she still felt that letting her go was inappropriate.

No matter what kind of opportunity they had ever won over, they are now unremitting opponents.

Only by trampling her to death as soon as possible can she feel at ease!

"What do she do?" the queen mother sneered, "Do you think this is the first time the emperor takes her out to play?"

"No..." Concubine Shu shook her head.

This is indeed not the first time.

Last time, it was the day when the empress dowager returned to the palace and summoned her to question her. Then when she was about to summon the emperor, she was blocked by the eunuch in the imperial study room...

Although there was no verification that time, the Empress Dowager suddenly returned to the palace for such a big deal, but His Majesty was able to delay for a long time on the grounds of busy government affairs. This is very abnormal!

And when he came back, he gained two levels of position for Chen Lanxi...

She was sure that His Majesty had also left the palace with Chen Lanxi that time.

But if this is the case, shouldn’t we be more anxious?

Your Majesty treats him so special...

Seeing another hint of urgency on Shufei's face, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but sigh: "It seems you still don't understand."

She put down the teacup, looked at Shufei, and pointed out the key point directly: "It's not the first time he has taken people out, why did you get the news this time? Is your person suddenly becoming clever, or is it that he didn't want to hide it at all? Think about it carefully."

Concubine Shu's back suddenly tensed, and then suddenly lost her momentum: "It was Your Majesty who didn't want to hide it..."

The answer is obvious, she doesn't need to fantasize about something unrealistic to deceive herself.

Seeing her like this, the Queen Mother finally felt a little relieved: "Since you know why, then think about it carefully, why didn't he hide it?"

"Because...there is nothing to hide when I went out to do it?" Shufei guessed.

"Yes, there is nothing to hide." The Empress Dowager smiled, "When I see the Minister of Justice, what can I hide?"
