Regardless of whether Xiang 'er had been instructed by her to do this, she had something to do with it.
Perhaps today, the palace would spread rumors that she was jealous and had evil intentions, using Xiang 'er to offend Noble Consort Fang. Who was the one who framed her?
"Master, I'm afraid something bad has happened this time!”Bai Lian bit her lip and said, her hand that was combing Liu Weirong's hair slightly trembling.
Noble Consort Fang was the Empress Dowager's niece, and master was probably implicated in this matter.
"Xing 'er, how is Noble Consort Fang now?”Liu Weirong calmed the panic in her heart and asked calmly.
" The Imperial Concubine was hit by Xiang 'er, and her head accidentally hit the edge of the palanquin. She lost a lot of blood, and she hasn't woken up yet..." Xing' er's face was bitter as she quickly told him the information she had found.
"What?"
It was so serious. Liu Weirong's face turned pale, as if she had been choked by a cold wind that went straight into her heart. Even half of her body was cold. Her hand unconsciously trembled, and the hairpin fell to the ground with a " pa ".
The person behind the scenes was vicious.
On one hand, she stopped Fang Zhiying from sleeping with her, and on the other hand, she framed her. This time, regardless of whether she was innocent or not, she would have to bear the Empress Dowager's anger.
The Empress Dowager would probably summon her today.
What should she do?
Even after breakfast, Liu Weirong still had no clue. After all, she had just entered the palace and her foundation was very shallow. The only people she could use were Bai Lian and Xing 'er.
However, Xing 'er was still in the observation period.
Liu Weirong's heart sank when she was stopped outside the Guan Yu Palace to visit Noble Consort Fang. Many palace maids and eunuchs around her looked at her strangely.
Liu Weirong pursed her lips and left the gift.
On the way back, she happened to bump into Liu Xiangya. She also saw Liu Weirong. She blinked her eyes and pursed her lips into a smile. Her red cherry lips outlined a bright smile.
He seemed to be very happy to see her.
After walking over and comforting Liu Weirong with a few words, she brought Bishui into the Guan Yu Palace.
Liu Weirong looked up at the rising sun and returned to Rou Fu Palace with White Lotus.
After washing off the disguise on her face, Liu Weirong changed into a long dress and leaned against the couch, quietly reading a book and waiting. The sunlight outside the window reflected her lowered eyebrows, so quiet and gentle that it was moving. Even if White Lotus looked at it every day, he could not help but sigh in his heart.
In fact, Liu Weirong, who was staring at the book, was already lost in thought. She was recalling the plot of the novel and the personalities and methods of the important concubines to see if she could find any clues.
She wasn't like Liu Xiangya, who had other people in the dark besides Bi Shui.
Fortunately, she knew the plot. The ending of the novel revealed her noble fate. It said that the reason why she could be like a fish in water in the palace was because Lady Liu and Liu Zhihao were prepared. When she was ten years old, they began to secretly bribe the people in the palace. Other than some servants released by the new emperor, there were a small number of people who had more bargaining chips than the other newcomers.
Even if she knew a few, she didn't know who they were.
When it was almost noon, what was supposed to come finally came.
Hearing Xing 'er's message, the head eunuch of Ci' an Palace, Eunuch Chen, came to pay his respects.
Liu Weirong quickly put down her book and left the bedroom. She sat down in the main room outside and took a deep breath before letting Eunuch Chen in.
"This servant greets noble De, noble Ji Xiang!”Eunuch Chen only shook his horsetail whisk and bowed slightly to Liu Weirong.
As the Empress Dowager's confidant, Eunuch Chen was already in his fifties, but he still looked very energetic. It was said that he had been by the Empress Dowager's side ever since she entered the palace. He was the Empress Dowager's most trusted person.
"Eunuch Chen, please take a seat. Xing 'er, watch the tea!”Liu Weirong didn't dare to be arrogant and hurriedly said.
Eunuch Chen didn't stand on ceremony and sat on the mahogany chair beside him. Liu Weirong smiled and asked,"May I know why Eunuch Chen has come?”
Xing 'er served tea to Eunuch Chen, but he didn't even take a sip. He only said indifferently,"This servant is here by the Empress Dowager's decree to summon Noble De to Ci An Palace.”
Liu Weirong's heart skipped a beat. She thought to herself, Finally, it's here. She couldn't help but ask,""Eunuch, do you know why the Empress Dowager summoned the maids and concubines?”
"This servant is only following orders and doesn't know anything else. The Empress Dowager has summoned you, so you should quickly prepare. This servant will return to report first and take his leave!”With that, he got up and left in a hurry.
Liu Weirong had already guessed the Empress Dowager's attitude from Eunuch Chen's attitude, and her heart sank. It seemed that the people from Ci 'an Palace were in trouble.
He could only wait and see.
White Lotus picked a lotus flower green gauze dress for her master and combed her hair into a simple bun. She only put an emerald hairpin on her head, which was simple yet solemn.
The most important thing was that it did not go overboard and was in line with the identity of a noble.
No one could find fault with her attire.
After she was done, Liu Weirong checked her body before taking White Lotus to Ci 'an Palace.
When she arrived at Ci 'an Palace, she found that she was not the only one who had arrived. Other than the Empress, there were also the newly conferred Fourth Concubine and a few concubines attached to the Fang family.
As soon as she entered, she felt several gazes cast at her. They were all mocking and gloating. There were also those who were watching the show. The ones watching the show were the Empress's.
After paying his respects to the Empress and these high-ranking concubines, he stood quietly to the side.
"The Empress Dowager has arrived!"
As the voice fell, the empress dowager, who was wearing a bright yellow robe embroidered with phoenixes, walked in with a group of palace maids and eunuchs.
The Empress led the concubines to pay their respects, and Liu Weirong also bowed.
When the Empress Dowager passed by her, she paused for a moment. Her cold gaze swept over her head, making Liu Weirong's scalp tingle.
"Get up!" The empress dowager sat on the throne in the middle and spoke indifferently.
Only then did the Empress lead everyone to stand up.
Liu Weirong stood up. The Empress Dowager's cold gaze was fixed on her, and her tone was mixed with a hint of cold questioning,""Noble De, is Xiang 'er your palace maid?”
Liu Weirong smiled bitterly. Finally, the Empress Dowager had made things difficult for her.
Noble Consort Fang was the Empress Dowager's family's precious treasure. Who asked the Fang family's direct line of descent to only have one daughter of the right age, Fang Zhiying?
It was only natural that the Empress Dowager valued him. Now that something had happened, how could he not be angry?
"Replying to the Empress Dowager, yes!" Liu Weirong replied respectfully.
The Empress Dowager slapped the armrest heavily. Everyone couldn't help but tremble. Only Consort Shu's lips seemed to have a faint smile.
"Noble De, do you know what crime you have committed?”
Liu Weirong's heart skipped a beat and she quickly knelt down. She lowered her head and took a deep breath before looking up at the Empress Dowager."I don't know!"
She would never admit what she had done.
At this moment, Consort Shu suddenly spoke," Empress Dowager, please calm down. This noble sister has only been in the palace for a short time and has not studied the 'Four Books for Women.' She won the first place and obtained the Emperor's favor. It is inevitable that she will be jealous of the Emperor's favor for Consort Sister. Therefore, she made a big mistake. It is just that she has not woken up yet…"
As she spoke, Consort Shu used a handkerchief to wipe the corner of her eyes.
"Mother, Shu Fei's younger sister is right. It's all ChenQie's fault for not managing things well, that's why such a thing happened. ChenQie is willing to be punished!”The Empress also expressed her opinion.
"What does it have to do with the Empress? It's clearly some people who are bold and arrogant because of their favor!”Consort Hui said straightforwardly.
Only Consort Xian and Consort Duan remained silent.
The other concubines also agreed. After they entered the palace, only Liu Weirong was flipped.
Liu Weirong clenched her fists and dug her nails deep into her palms. Her heart was as clear as a mirror. Their words confirmed that Liu Weirong had murdered the imperial concubine out of jealousy.
How ruthless!
Xiang 'er was already dead and had no evidence. It seemed that they wanted to use this incident to make her unable to turn things around.
