Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

Chapter 257 The World of Mad Men and Mad Women 3

"I don't need you to tell me this," Jiang Chunxi assured, "Don't worry! I wouldn't dare to tell anyone else about this matter except you. It's not like I'm risking my life."

"I'm glad you know." After hearing Jiang Chunxi say this, Rouying felt relieved.

At the same time, Gu Yansen had already arrived at Concubine Xian's palace.

A guard entered the concubine's palace without the master's permission, and this did not arouse anyone's suspicion. If Concubine Xian and Gu Yansen had not been too reckless in the original owner's previous life, otherwise no one would have noticed it.

This shows how absurd this world is. Of course, it is also because of this that Jiang Chunxi dared to confront Gu Yansen directly and was not afraid of being killed by Concubine Xian to silence her.

Because Empress Xian is a crazy woman with a mental problem, and she cannot be viewed from the perspective of a normal person.

"What's the matter? Why do you look so unhappy?" Empress Xian looked at Gu Yansen's smile, which seemed so free.

"Your Highness, I am here to apologize to you," Gu Yansen said with a guilty and embarrassed tone, "I originally wanted to ask my childhood sweetheart to serve you, but I didn't expect that she would be unwilling to do so. It is such a great blessing to serve you, Your Highness, but she actually..."

Gu Yansen really didn't want to pollute the Empress' ears by saying what Jiang Chunxi said. For someone as kind and gentle as a chrysanthemum, it would be better not to let dirty words pollute the Empress' ears.

"I am willing to give your childhood sweetheart a chance only for your sake," Empress Xian said, "but since she is unwilling, forget it."

"Also, you should be more careful! Don't be fooled by others. Some women can only share happiness but not hardships. I wonder if your childhood sweetheart has climbed up to a high branch!"

Gu Yansen looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and then he said bitterly, "No wonder, no wonder she returned the ring I gave her to me and wanted to cut ties with me. It turns out there are better options."

"Humph! I should have thought of it long ago. Jiang Chunxi always forces me to climb up the social ladder. She always looks down on me because I am just a small guard in the cold palace. So how could she possibly have any true feelings for me?"

"I was so stupid that I believed her and even begged Her Majesty to give me such a great favor and let me serve Her Majesty. But I didn't expect that in the end, she had already found someone better. How could she still look down on me?"

"I'm relieved that you can see clearly," Concubine Xian said with a look of relief, "Since you know that your childhood sweetheart is not worthy of your love, then don't be angry or sad about her anymore. I will ask the emperor to let you serve as a guard in front of the emperor. Then you will be able to hold your head high and make your childhood sweetheart regret it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your esteem." Gu Yansen happily knelt down in front of Empress Xian.

"What are you doing?" Empress Xian quickly stood up and helped Gu Yansen up. "There is no need for such false formalities between you and me. Don't do this again in the future, or I will be angry."

While speaking, Empress Xian winked at Gu Yansen playfully. She was a woman in her twenties, and she was dressed in an old-fashioned way. It was really incongruous for her to act so playfully, as if she was an old person pretending to be young on purpose.

But Gu Yansen was stunned as if he had seen some rare beauty. He felt that there was no other woman in the world as beautiful as Concubine Xian, and his heart was pounding.

"Your Majesty, I still have to go to work, so I'll take my leave first." Gu Yansen said as he quickly took two steps back. He was very nervous at this moment and really didn't dare to get too close to Concubine Xian.

"Go!" Concubine Xian smiled, "Come to Yikun Palace after you finish your work tonight. We haven't watched the moon together for a while since you came out of the cold palace."

"Yes." Gu Yansen naturally would not refuse Concubine Xian's invitation, and left Yikun Palace with pink bubbles in his heart.

After Gu Yansen left, Ruoxin, the head maidservant beside Concubine Xian, said worriedly, "Isn't it a bad idea to let Guard Gu come to Yikun Palace at night? If someone sees this, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

Ruoxin really couldn't understand why her master was too close to Guard Gu in the cold palace, and why didn't she plan to restrain herself after coming out of the cold palace? Did her master forget how she was framed and sent to the cold palace?

Of course, Ruoxin never suspected that Concubine Xian and Guard Gu had any hidden relationship. After all, Concubine Xian and the Emperor were childhood sweethearts, and her relationship with the Emperor was not comparable to that of the concubines in the harem, so how could she have any hidden thoughts about Guard Gu?

The reason why the Queen was so close to Guard Gu was simply because she was hurt by the Emperor and wanted to find someone to talk to. It was the Emperor who did not believe the Queen in the first place and made the Queen suffer in the cold palace for three years.

But now the Queen has been released from the cold palace, right? Why is she still so close to Guard Gu, and even made an appointment with Guard Gu to come to Yikun Palace to watch the moon together? This is really too scary, okay?

"Gu Yansen and I are innocent, there is nothing to worry about," Concubine Xian said nonchalantly, "Ruoxin, you have suffered with me in the cold palace for three years, why are you still talking like this? If Gu Yansen hadn't helped us and saved me many times during these three years in the cold palace, I would have died long ago."

"If I alienate myself from Gu Yansen after I come out of the cold palace, then what's the difference between me and that ungrateful person? So don't say such things again in the future, or I will punish you."

Ruoxin felt that her master's words were wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. However, she was always loyal and felt that what her master said must be correct: "My master is smart, it's all my fault."

Empress Xian smiled and nodded, feeling very satisfied with Ruoxin's words.

At the same time, in the Queen's Palace.

"Your Majesty, today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. The Emperor will definitely come to Fengzhao Palace. Your Majesty, should you get ready?" Lu Qiu, the head maid beside the Queen, said:

"What is there to prepare? Ever since Concubine Xian came out of the cold palace, the emperor has been devoted to her. How can he remember the ancestral rules?" The queen said tiredly, "Besides, no matter how I dress up, the emperor will not even look at me. Now he only has Concubine Xian in his heart. How can he have eyes for other concubines, even for me, the queen."

According to ancestral rules, the emperor must rest in the queen's palace on the first and fifteenth days of the month. In the emperor's eyes, she is not his first wife at all. If the late emperor had not stopped it, the position of queen would have fallen on Concubine Xian. After all, Concubine Xian was the one the emperor wanted to marry.

Ever since she married the Emperor, the Queen has always been afraid that one day the Emperor would depose her and replace her with Concubine Xian. She finally sent Concubine Xian to the cold palace, but she never expected that she would be released from the cold palace.

But it is also true that as long as the emperor still cannot forget Concubine Xian, it will only take time for Concubine Xian to come out of the cold palace. How could he let Concubine Xian stay in the cold palace until her death?
