ng to do!"The curses in my heart, because of the pain, came out in fits and starts.Every cell in his body seemed to be dividing and reorganizing.After she gradually got used to the pain, a voice, some...Nán Xiāo Qīng openly protected Gù Qiān in front of everyone. The other concubines dared to be angry but not to speak out.

The Imperial Consort tried to smooth things over, but unfortunately the lower-ranking concubines, seeing the Empress's unsightly expression, didn't dare speak up. The higher-ranking concubines, on the other hand, weren't willing to flatter her, and the atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point.

"Your Majesty, if you tolerate Xiangfei's insubordination, wouldn't that be setting a dangerous precedent"

The Empress was displeased. Although this was just a bench in the garden, it was the main seat, representing status and authority. Gu Qian sat and lay as he pleased. Wasn't this an attempt to usurp her position as Empress

She was born into a noble family and entered the palace at the age of seven. She and the Emperor were childhood sweethearts.

Although the emperor indulged in pleasure and sensuality, her status never wavered.

The Empress's surname is Lin. When she first entered the palace, the Emperor said that she would always be his Lin sister.

When the imperial concubine first entered the palace, she was highly favored and even contemplated vying for power with the empress. The emperor, however, neglected her for several days to show his preference for the empress.

After that, Consort Xian became much more obedient.

Why should this Fragrance Concubine be an exception!

Nan Xiao Qingxin said these women are too much trouble, I'd rather be with Gu Qianhao.

What's good about her......it's that Gu Qian simply didn't want to bother with him, wishing she could stay far away. Though this wasn't something to be happy about.

He's been swamped with state affairs these past few days. The messes left behind by his predecessor were too numerous, and there were still a number of officials outside the palace who wanted to rebel. To avoid being dethroned, he had to maintain his persona, which was exhausting him almost to death.

Returning to the palace means having to feign pleasantries with those concubines he doesn't care for at all.

He was kind of thinking about striking!

This means, after all the struggle he went through to regain his memory and find Gu Qian, it's impossible for him to give up halfway.

"What is the Empress saying As a Queen, you shouldn't be like Xiangfei. She's young, you should be more tolerant."

"The Empress: "..."She's a young one for someone of her status!"

Nan Xiao gently patted the Empress's hand. "Both the flower and the person are beautiful. If you were angry, you wouldn't be beautiful anymore. I want to eat your Eight Immortals Chicken tonight, so how about we go back earlier"

The Empress, seeing him give her face in front of so many people, could not say anything more. She blushed and said shyly: "Your Majesty wants to eat, the concubine will prepare it when she goes back."

The Empress broke into a smile, and the other concubines breathed a sigh of relief. Though Nan Xiaoqing was to accompany the Empress in the evening, this was still a rare opportunity for them to appear in public. Naturally, no one would ask Gu Qian to perform any more talents; they all wished to take their place on stage immediately.

Seeing all the concubines putting in their best effort, Gu Qian became spirited.

In ancient times, there was no television. Besides reading short stories, there were basically no entertainment options.

These concubines, some graceful and some pretty, were able to sing and dance well. They could certainly pass the time.

The Empress hurried back to make chicken, and the flower viewing banquet broke up early.

"Noble Consort Xian followed up with Gu Qian who was about to return to Zhaohua Palace, "Sister Xiangfei, it's still early. Why don't you come sit at my place"

Gu Qianshen just wanted to refuse, but he heard Xianfei lean closer and whisper, "Don't you want to know who poisoned you"

Of course she wanted to know which bastard it was. After thinking about it, she still followed Xian Fei to her Yuehe Palace.

The Xianfei had retired the palace maids, leaving only two people inside the room. She personally poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Gu Qian, “Sister Xiangfei, how about you try this tea”

Gu Qian didn't drink the tea and went straight to the point: "How did you know someone had poisoned me"

She only told Nan Xiaoqing, and the two of them had briefly discussed it in private. They agreed to investigate further discreetly.
