Chapter 145

If there was any problem with Concubine Chun's fetus at this time, she would be killed if she was investigated.

But Lu Rou relied on the favor of the Marquis and her methods were extremely vicious. If she didn't do as she was told, she would not survive.

Unfortunately, the Madam was not at home at this time. If she knew, the situation would definitely be different if she intervened.

Seeing Cui'er still indifferent, Lu Rou shouted angrily, "What are you waiting for!"

This time, she not only wanted to deal with Chun'er, the bitch, but also Old Madam Shen. If they don't want to give her a chance to live, don't blame her for being rude.

...

The next morning.

Xu Yuan took Cui Liu into the palace together. As soon as they arrived at the palace gate, there was a nanny waiting there to greet them.

Seeing Xu Yuan's face full of smiles, the nanny bowed to her and said, "Madam, please come this way."

Xu Yuan nodded slightly, but on the way to Shoukang Palace, she saw a figure calling her.

"Isn't this the Marquis's wife?"

She looked up and saw a woman with a slightly gorgeous appearance standing there, followed by several palace maids.

The nanny looked at the person and couldn't help but frowned, muttering in a low voice, "Why is the imperial concubine here?"

"Imperial concubine?"

While Xu Yuan was hesitating, the woman had already walked towards her. Concubine Liu's eyes were full of disdain, and her cold eyes fell on Xu Yuan.

"Greetings, the imperial concubine."

Concubine Liu snorted coldly, and had no good face for Xu Yuan, "Madam, I heard that it was Mei'er who you bullied at the Hundred Flowers Banquet a few days ago." Concubine

Liu was Liu Mei'er's aunt, and she came here to help her.

The nanny saw that the situation was not right, and hurried forward and said, "Imperial concubine, the queen mother is still waiting for the marquis's wife in Shoukang Palace. If it's too late, the queen mother will be unhappy."

"So it was the queen mother's intention for her to enter the palace?"

Concubine Liu recognized that the nanny was someone close to the queen mother. Even though she was angry with Xu Yuan, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

"Yes." The nanny nodded and replied, "The Marquis's wife is also the benefactor who treated the Empress Dowager."

This Concubine Liu is in great favor, and if she doesn't say so, she might do something more extreme.

Xu Yuan naturally understood the nanny's good intentions, and faced Concubine Liu's contemptuous eyes and slowly replied, "Concubine, I didn't bully Liu Mei'er."

"On the contrary, it was the emperor's intention that Liu Mei'er was punished."

Being in the palace, as long as you ask a little about the details, you can know what happened.

Concubine Liu has always been supported by others, and she was immediately annoyed when she heard Xu Yuan's words.

"Xu Yuan, do you mean that I am deliberately wronging you?" Concubine Liu's eyes were burning with anger.

Of course, she knew that her niece was punished by the emperor, but who made Xu Yuan appear in front of her at this time. Of course,

she wanted to take this opportunity to give her a good beating, but the only thing she didn't expect was that Xu Yuan suddenly became the savior of the Empress Dowager.

She was unwilling to let Concubine Liu let it go like this. She paused and turned to the nanny in front of her and said, "Mammy, are you going to take her to the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace?"

"Yes." "

I just happen to be going to visit the Empress Dowager."

The nanny was stunned and looked at Xu Yuan with a little worry.

It seems that this concubine has set her sights on the Marquis' wife.

Xu Yuan did not have any emotional fluctuations about Concubine Liu's words. She was invited to the palace by the Empress Dowager. Even if Concubine Liu was dissatisfied, she would not dare to do anything openly.

If she left the palace, Concubine Liu's power would be even more unattainable.

Several people came all the way to Shoukang Palace. On the way, Concubine Liu kept looking at Xu Yuan.

This person's reaction was obviously beyond her expectations.

Other people were either afraid or flattering when they saw her, but Xu Yuan was good, and he didn't react at all.

In Shoukang Palace.

The Empress Dowager summoned Xu Yuan immediately after learning that he was coming.

"Your servant greets the Empress Dowager." Xu Yuan saluted the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother raised her hand, her attitude was calm, but when she saw Concubine Liu who came with them, her eyes showed surprise.

"Concubine, why are you here?"

It was not until the Queen Mother looked over that Concubine Liu spoke slowly.

"Queen Mother, I met this Marquis on the way, and I heard about her medical treatment some time ago. I admired her very much, so I came with her."

Concubine Liu praised Xu Yuan in front of the Queen Mother, without any arrogance and domineeringness seen before.

It must be said that Concubine Liu is good at speaking nice words.

The Queen Mother nodded, "My Lady, I already know about your niece."

"If you just admire her, that's fine, but if you have other intentions, the Marquis's wife is my lifesaver, and I will never allow anything to happen."

After the Queen Mother said this, she exuded majesty and asked Concubine Liu again, "My Lady, did you understand what I said just now?"

Concubine Liu was shocked. You know, even if she treated her, the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital had treated her countless times and said she was a lifesaver. At most, they would reward her with something. What difference could it make?

As for the nanny's previous words, she just took into account that the other party was someone close to the Queen Mother and did not do things too much.

But who would have thought that the Queen Mother's words were completely telling her and everyone present.

The Queen Mother wanted to protect the Marquis's wife.

Just thinking of this, Concubine Liu felt a little jealous and unwilling.

I wanted to wait until Xu Yuan left Shoukang Palace before finding a reason to collide and teach him a lesson, but now it seems that it won't work.

Xu Yuan was also secretly surprised by the Queen Mother's attitude.

However, with the Queen Mother's statement, no matter whether it was the Imperial Concubine in front of her or other people, at least they restrained their behavior.

On the contrary, she felt a little relieved.

Imperial Concubine Liu lowered her head and replied to the Queen Mother, "I understand."

After receiving Imperial Concubine Liu's answer, the Queen Mother hummed lightly, then raised her hand and said, "Okay, I still have something to say to the Marquis's wife, you can leave."

"This..."

Imperial Concubine Liu was shocked again. She had just arrived at Shoukang Palace, and the Queen Mother wanted her to leave.

This was clearly displeased.

She was deeply favored by the Emperor in the palace, and even when she saw the Queen, she did not avoid her, but who would have thought that the Queen Mother would treat her like this.

The Queen Mother saw Concubine Liu standing there with an angry look, and there was already displeasure in her eyes, "What, Concubine Liu, do I need to say the same thing again?"

"Or do you think that because you have the emperor's favor, you don't care about me?"

Faced with the Queen Mother's anger, Concubine Liu quickly calmed down and hastily responded, "I dare not."

"I will take my leave now."

After bowing, Concubine Liu did not forget to glare at Xu Yuan when she turned around.

It was obvious that she was taking today's incident to heart.

Xu Yuan didn't care. She was not in the palace, and there would be no intersection in the future.

Even if the imperial concubine wanted to do something, she had to consider the consequences of what the queen mother said just now.
