Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 683 Liu Shiqing's defense is broken (114 million votes plus additional)

Ruoli had served Concubine Liang for so long and had always known that her majesty was the gentlest person.

Although she had been scolded by the Queen Mother for similar things before, every time, the Queen Mother's tone was full of helplessness, and she was not really blaming her.

Because of this, Ruoli became more and more courageous and spoke more and more outspoken in front of Concubine Liang.

This was the first time Ruoli saw the queen so furious.

For some reason, her heart suddenly trembled, and she knelt on the ground in fear: "My lady, I know I am wrong!"

"I didn't mean it, I just... I just feel sorry for you..."

The fierce look in Concubine Liang's eyes quickly disappeared, returning to her previous gentleness.

She sighed, stepped forward and helped Ruoli up, and said in a slow tone, "You have served me for many years, how could I really blame you?"

"I am just worried that if your words get out, you will get into trouble."

She looked so amiable, as if the person who had just been furious was not her.

Ruoli was touched and her eyes were wet: "My Lady, you are so kind to me..."

The Empress is the only one in the entire harem who cares so much about the palace maids.

Without the Empress, where else could she find such a good master?

Concubine Liang stood up and walked to the Buddha statue she was worshipping.

Because her back was facing away from Ruoli, Ruoli couldn't see the expression on her face.

"In fact, I understand that what you just said makes sense."

"But your majesty is the emperor. How can I decide who to favor?"

"The fact that Concubine Chen was promoted to Concubine by His Majesty in such a short period of time and given unique favor by His Majesty proves that she is indeed extraordinary."

"I have nothing to be dissatisfied with."

"So, don't say similar things again in the future."

"The Imperial Concubine Chen is now the head of the harem. Whether it's you or me, you must be respectful when you see her in the future. Do you understand?"

Ruoli pouted, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with Concubine Chen, but she did not dare to refute Concubine Liang's words, so she lowered her head and said, "Yes. I will follow your instructions."

Concubine Liang waved her hand and said, "Okay, it's getting late. Go down and have a rest. You don't need to keep watch tonight."

"Yes."

After Ruoli left, Concubine Liang was the only one left in the inner room.

Her beautiful face flickered in the candlelight.

I don’t know how long has passed...

Suddenly there was a loud "boom"!

The Buddha statues and incense burners on the table were all swept to the ground!

The palace maid outside was startled by the noise and hurried in.

Seeing the mess in the inner room, she was surprised: "My Lady, what happened?!"

Everyone in Changchun Palace knew that the Empress, like the Empress Dowager, was a devout believer in Buddhism.

The goddess burns incense to the Buddha statue every day and is extremely pious to the Buddha.

Today all the Buddha statues fell to the ground. What happened?

Concubine Liang turned around, with no extra expression on her face, and said calmly: "The ornaments on my body just got caught on the tablecloth by accident, and brought all these things down. You can take someone to clean them up."

The maid didn't think much about it, she bowed and said, "I obey your command!"

……

Ever since Liu Shiqing was imprisoned here by the emperor's order, Lixuan Pavilion has become a place that palace people avoid, and therefore it is the least informed place.

Of course, this only applies to Liu Shiqing who was locked in the bedroom. Cuizhu was still able to walk outside, so she naturally knew that everyone in the palace was congratulating the one in Zhongcui Palace who was promoted to the position of imperial concubine today.

Cuizhu's face turned extremely ugly in an instant!

Then, she felt a deep worry in her heart...

Cuizhu simply couldn't imagine what would happen if her master knew this news...

As a result, she was somewhat absent-minded while doing her job the whole day.

The person who knows Cuizhu best in this world is Liu Shiqing, who grew up with her.

After dinner, she put down her chopsticks, looked at Cuizhu and asked, "What happened to you today? You were in a daze the whole day."

Cuizhu's eyes flickered, she didn't dare to look at Liu Shiqing's eyes, she stammered: "No... I'm fine..."

Liu Shiqing sneered: "Cuizhu, do you know that you always look like this when you lie?"

"Tell me, what happened in the palace? I have fallen into this state, is there any news that I cannot accept?"

At the end, there was a hint of self-mockery in Liu Shiqing's tone.

A hint of hesitation flashed across Cuizhu's eyes...

Do you really want to tell the master this news?

Even she found it hard to accept. If the master knew about it, wouldn't he go crazy?

But there is no wall that is impenetrable.

Especially for such a big thing, Cuizhu also understood that she could hide it for a while but not forever, and her master would find out sooner or later.

Rather than waiting for the master to find out from other people and do something irreparable, it would be better for her to tell the news and calm the master down.

Thinking of this, Cuizhu lowered her head and stood beside Liu Shiqing, and said carefully: "Master, your Majesty has promoted... promoted the Consort Xian to... to the Imperial Concubine..."

By the end of her speech, Cuizhu's voice had become quieter and quieter, almost as soft as the hum of a mosquito.

But Liu Shiqing still heard it clearly.

"What did you say?!"

She suddenly looked up at Cuizhu, her peach blossom eyes filled with disbelief. She stood up and said, "I am the eldest daughter of Duke Dingguo. I married your Majesty as a concubine with a noble status. I gave birth to the eldest princess for him and lost my ability to have children. Only after your Majesty ascended the throne was I named a noble concubine."

"How long has that bitch Shen Zhinian been in the palace? On what basis?!"

"Where did you hear this news? Who spread rumors in the harem?!"

Saying one thing is saying it, saying two things is saying it. Rather than leaving a hidden danger and causing the master to be stimulated in the future, it is better to say it all at once.

Cuizhu knelt on the ground with a plop, closed her eyes, and said with determination: "Master, this is an imperial decree from His Majesty, not a rumor. It has spread throughout the court and the harem..."

"And... not only that, His Majesty also bestowed upon the Imperial Concubine the title 'Chen'."

At this point, Cuizhu knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, trying to calm Liu Shiqing's anger: "Master, calm down! Master, calm down!"

Liu Shiqing knew that no one would dare to spread rumors about such a big thing. She just didn't want to believe it.

At this moment, Liu Shiqing didn't know whether he was more shocked or more hateful.

She fell down on the chair and laughed at herself: "Haha...hahahaha...an extra title was given..."

"Since the founding of the Great Zhou, the Noble Consort and the Four Consorts have been fixed positions, and there is no rule for granting them new titles."

"Even I never asked Your Majesty to do this back then."
