Chapter 92: To Intercept Ning Wanyin’s Favor?

Mozhu Xuan.

“Mistress, your confinement is over, you can finally go out!” Shi’er looked at Song Qingzhi, who was lying on the sickbed, and comforted her, “As long as you can see His Majesty, you will surely regain his favor!”

Song Qingzhi lay listlessly on the couch, her face pale, “Cough… How could His Majesty want to see me? I’ve been sick for a month, the imperial physician has already reported to him, he hasn’t come to see me even once…”

Because of sadness and worry, her heart was filled with resentment, Song Qingzhi deliberately refused to take medicine. Her body had never fully recovered since her miscarriage.

She thought that if she was close to death, the emperor would definitely come to visit her.

She wanted to use this to gain the emperor’s pity and concern.

But when she was at her worst, she was delirious and feverish for three days, and the emperor never came once.

Song Qingzhi understood.

The emperor had completely abandoned her…

“Mistress, you must not give up on yourself!” Xiao Dongzi persuaded, “His Majesty is a little dissatisfied with you, so he didn’t come to see you. But you can go to see His Majesty…”

Song Qingzhi shook her head tearfully, “He doesn’t want to see me… I’ve written him so many greetings, but he hasn’t summoned me once…”

“This servant isn’t suggesting you go to Qianxin Palace to pay your respects… but you can move to Yonghe Palace!” Xiao Dongzi reminded her.

Song Qingzhi’s face changed instantly, “Then wouldn’t I have to rely on Ning Wanyin to see the emperor? How dare you say such a thing?”

“Mistress, calm down!” Xiao Dongzi knelt down with a thud, “This servant is only thinking of you. His Majesty doesn’t see you, he doesn’t know how heartbroken you are for him… Your affection for him, you must see His Majesty, let him know, only then can he pity you…”

“This servant also heard that Liushuangxuan in Yonghe Palace has been empty since Li Guiren passed away. The concubines think it’s not auspicious… but this servant thinks, you have no grudge against Li Guiren, Li Guiren’s spirit in heaven won’t harm you…”

Some of the less favored concubines with low ranks actually wanted to go to Liushuangxuan, but Concubine Shu wouldn’t let anyone occupy that position easily.

She would definitely arrange for someone useful.

“Mistress, if you go to Yonghe Palace, you will definitely be able to see His Majesty. When His Majesty sees you so haggard for him, you faint in front of him… His Majesty will definitely pity you!” Xiao Dongzi beat his chest, “This servant is speaking from the heart! Please, Mistress, for the sake of your affection for His Majesty, think carefully!”

Song Qingzhi was originally reluctant, but after he said this, her mind wavered.

Shi’er nodded in agreement, “Mistress, this servant thinks Xiao Dongzi is right. If it weren’t for Ning Wanyin harming you, you wouldn’t be in this situation today, you’re using her to see His Majesty, this is what she owes you!”

Song Qingzhi was actually just afraid of losing face, she was afraid that people would say that she could only see the emperor because of Ning Wanyin.

But Shi’er’s words gave her a way out.

Ning Wanyin had harmed her!

If she moved to Yonghe Palace, she could intercept Ning Wanyin’s favor, wouldn’t that also be a way to get revenge?

“Shi’er, help me change my clothes, I’m going to see Concubine Shu.” Song Qingzhi said.

Shi’er happily replied, “It’s good that Mistress has figured it out.”

Soon.

Song Qingzhi, carrying heavy gifts, went to Jingxi Palace.

Concubine Shu didn’t show any disrespect towards her because she was now down and out, she smiled and had people serve her tea.

Concubine Shu served her tea and said with concern, “I heard you’ve been unwell, I’ve been wanting to visit you. But His Majesty has given orders… not to let anyone disturb you, so I could only refrain. Now seeing that your complexion isn’t good, have you fully recovered? Zhenzhu, give Song Xianshi my ginseng tea.”

“It’s very good for nourishing the body, you must take good care of yourself.”

Song Qingzhi was moved for a moment.

No one had been so polite to her since she fell from grace.

“Thank you, Concubine Shu! Concubine Shu is kind and virtuous, I am deeply grateful.” Song Qingzhi bowed, thinking about changing her residence, she was still a little embarrassed to speak up.

“Song Xianshi, you came today, is there anything you need? Just tell me, don’t be polite.” Concubine Shu asked proactively.

Song Qingzhi stammered, “Your concubine wants to change her residence…”

“Where do you want to go?” Concubine Shu asked.

“Liushuangxuan.” Song Qingzhi looked at Concubine Shu with some trepidation.

She was a little worried that Concubine Shu wouldn’t agree.

“Liushuangxuan is empty, but… Song Meimei had some unpleasantness with Ning Jiejue before, if you two live together, I’m worried that you two won’t get along and cause trouble, it would be bad for harmony.” Concubine Shu said slowly.

Song Qingzhi’s heart tightened, “Your concubine will definitely not cause trouble…”

“Song Xianshi has a good temperament, I know that. But Ning Jiejue has a domineering personality… If you really intend to live with her, I think you should send her some gifts and apologize. That way, she won’t make things difficult for you.” Concubine Shu said very thoughtfully.

Song Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, “Thank you, Concubine Shu, for your advice, your concubine understands.”

“The two of you living under the same roof, resolving your grievances, showcasing the harmony and friendship of our harem, I’m also happy for you.” Concubine Shu said with a warm smile, “Zhenzhu, have the Internal Affairs Department send two palace servants to help Song Xianshi move.”

“Thank you, Concubine Shu!” Song Qingzhi quickly stood up and bowed.

…

That day.

Song Qingzhi moved to Liushuangxuan, the left wing of Yonghe Palace.

“Mistress, Song Xianshi has moved next door.” Xiao Gui Zi rushed in to report, “She framed you before, now she has the nerve to take advantage of you!”

Ning Wanyin was startled, she was a little surprised.

Song Qingzhi was very concerned about her reputation, she would actually do something so embarrassing, with her self-righteous personality?

It didn’t seem like something she would do.

But she still moved in, it seemed that now, reputation was less important than the emperor’s favor.

Lianrui also disliked this Song Qingzhi, the mistress had been framed by her for a serious crime.

She said angrily, “The last person who lived here, Li Guiren, is already dead, she doesn’t mind the bad luck, hmph!”

“We don’t care who lives in Liushuangxuan. Let her be, but… you all be careful, we had a conflict with her, be on guard.” Ning Wanyin reminded.

Lianrui and Xiao Gui Zi both accepted the order.

This morning, the emperor had summoned Ning Wanyin.

In the evening, the imperial carriage arrived.

Ning Wanyin and Song Qingzhi, who had just moved in, greeted the imperial carriage together at the front of Yonghe Palace, bowing and paying their respects.

Helian Qi saw Song Qingzhi at a glance.

There was one more person greeting him, how could it not be obvious?

But his gaze swept over her, he remained indifferent and landed on Ning Wanyin, he reached out to help her up, then turned and walked towards Lingsxue Pavilion.

Song Qingzhi felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.

She deliberately swayed and fell to the ground, closing her eyes tightly.

“Mistress has fainted!” Shi’er shouted loudly to the emperor.

Helian Qi paused, turning to look at the fainted Song Qingzhi.

Ning Wanyin saw through her scheme to intercept the emperor’s favor, she calmly looked at Helian Qi, “Your Majesty, do you want to take a look? Song Xianshi seems to be unwell?”

“I’m not an imperial physician, why would I go and take a look.” Helian Qi’s expression was cold, his gaze fell unhappily on Shi’er, who was shouting loudly in front of him, “Your mistress has fainted, don’t you know to call the imperial physician? You’re acting improperly in front of the emperor, someone, drag her away, twenty lashes.”

Shi’er’s face changed instantly, “Your Majesty, spare me, this servant was just worried about the mistress…”

Song Qingzhi, who was lying on the ground pretending to be unconscious, almost fainted for real. Emperor, how can you be so cruel?
