Crazy Queen, Striving to Become the Most Beautiful Lady in the Harem

Chapter 395 Birthday Banquet

Sun Manrou didn't believe that Queen Lin Junxue was really willing to help her. She must have something to ask for.

That's why she waited on the palace road specifically to get to the bottom of it.

If Danzhen hadn't told her that the emperor would come to Ci'an Palace in a while and told her how to win the emperor's pity in front of him.

She was afraid that today, she would be schemed against by that bitch Sun Qing, be disliked by the emperor, and completely fall out of favor.

Sun Manrou felt very uneasy after leaving Ci'an Palace.

She doesn't know what she is afraid of?

I don’t even know who I’m afraid of?

Was it Sun Qing who framed her today, the Queen Mother who severely punished her, or was it the Queen in front of her?

Seeing that Lin Junxue did not speak

Sun Manrou said again, "Queen, I know how I treated you since I entered the palace when you were not in favor. Today, you helped me. Don't say it's sincere. I'm not stupid and won't believe it. Why don't you just tell me, Queen, I will repay your help today."

Lin Junxue turned around and looked at Sun Manrou, catching a hint of uneasiness in her eyes, and curled the corners of her lips slightly.

Everyone said that the Concubine Chen was arrogant and stupid, but she thought that was not necessarily true.

"Empress Chen, do you think I need your help? As for me helping you, it's all based on my mood. In this harem, as long as it doesn't involve human life, there will be no eternal enemies."

Sun Manrou laughed at herself

"Your Highness, you are right. There are no eternal enemies in the harem. Since Your Highness does not have any today, I will remember this favor. If you need me in the future, I will do my best to help you once."

Lin Junxue had a blank expression on her face. She nodded slightly without any reaction.

Sun Manrou said goodbye, and when she was about to leave the attic, she stopped and spoke

"Empress, you were the one who sent someone to summon the Emperor to Ci'an Palace today, right?"

Sun Manrou knew clearly that the emperor came to Ci'an Palace right after leaving the court, and it would be impossible if no one informed him.

Today, from the time the Queen arrived at Ci'an Palace, she has already taken control of the overall situation.

What a deep thought this is?

Lin Junxue looked at Chen Fei's back with a deep gaze, but did not answer the question.

Sun Manrou left the attic

Danzhen came in

"My Queen, let's go back to the palace."

Second day

Xie Yu went to Sun Manrou's palace to visit her and stayed overnight.

In the following days, Xie Yu began to be busy with disaster relief.

In winter, disasters occur frequently in various places.

At this time of year, Xie Yu was extremely busy. Every day, after the court session, he would summon ministers from various departments to discuss

Xie Yu hadn't entered the harem for almost a month, and the harem was very quiet and nothing happened.

During this period, Xie Yu went to see Zhang Yuyan twice. Now Zhang Yuyan was the only pregnant woman in the harem, so Xie Yu naturally still valued her very much.

December 5

Lin Junxue had just finished lunch when Gao Cheng conveyed his imperial edict to the harem.

Xie Yu wanted to take Sun Qing out of the palace to the royal palace, where there was a natural hot spring, and only the favorite concubine was qualified to bathe in the hot spring.

Now, Xie Yu issued an order to take Sun Qing to celebrate her birthday.

I don't know how many people's eyes turned red after hearing this decree.

Everyone was speculating that after Sun Qing's birthday, given her current status of favor, her position might be further elevated.

Zhonghe Palace

Danzhen served tea and Qiaoxin put away the bellyband she had just embroidered for the child.

These days, when she had some free time, Lin Junxue sewed a bellyband by herself, intending to give it to the baby in Zhang Yuyan's belly.

Qiao Xin said, "Your Majesty, it's icy and snowy, and the roads are hard to walk on. It takes at least half a day to get to the royal palace. The emperor really dotes on Liang Zhaoyi. I wonder how many people will be moved by this birthday gift. I heard that the Concubine Chen was furious in her own palace. It's understandable that the Concubine Chen saw this honor and favor, how could she not be angry?"

Lin Junxue put down the scissors, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Three days later, it will be Liang Zhaoyi's birthday. Send her a gift."

Qiao Xin agreed

"I understand, Madam, don't worry, I will be more careful and make sure no one takes advantage of me."

Lin Junxue's eyes were slightly deep, but she smiled meaningfully.

She said calmly, "Don't worry too much, just pick two at random. After your birthday, there will be no more Liang Zhaoyi in the harem."

Danzhen and Qiaoxin were shocked

What do you mean by this?

There is no Liang Zhaoyi anymore?

After Lin Junxue stood up, she walked to the window and looked at the red plum blossoms outside that were blooming more and more brightly.

Xie Yu suddenly wanted to take Liang Zhaoyi to the hot springs to celebrate his birthday.

I guess he has made up his mind to take action on Liang Zhaoyi's birthday, involve the Sun family, and seize the Sun family's military power.

Is it finally time for Liang Zhaoyi, the chess piece, to take the stage?

But Xie Yu chose Liang Zhaoyi's birthday to kill her.

There is not even a trace of emotion at all. Even if there was, they would not have chosen this day to take action.

Second day

Xie Yu took Sun Qing with him to the royal palace ten miles away from Kyoto.

On the day of departure, Lin Junxue and the concubines in the harem saw him off respectfully.

At noon

The concubines in the harem worshipped Buddha in the Buddhist temple and returned to their respective palaces in the afternoon.

In the following days, news from the palace was delivered to the palace every afternoon.

It was nothing more than that Xie Yu took Sun Qing to have fun today, and they were having fun every day.

three days later

Sun Qing's birthday banquet was held in the palace. Xie Yu ordered that the birthday banquet must be grand and not be neglected.

evening

Lin Junxue was not in a hurry to fall asleep. She sat on the chaise longue and read a book.

Danzhen said, "My queen, it's this hour, why are you still awake? What's on your mind?"

Lin Junxue said calmly, "Nothing, I'm just waiting for some news."

Soon

Guyu walked in anxiously

"Your Majesty, something really happened. Just now, the Emperor's personal guard entered the palace and went to the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace. Tonight, the Emperor was assassinated. It was Liang Zhaoyi who took advantage of the Emperor's drunkenness and tried to stab the Emperor with a dagger. Fortunately, the Emperor reacted in time and was not injured by Liang Zhaoyi. Unfortunately, Liang Zhaoyi has been thrown into prison, and the Emperor is on his way back."

Danzhen exclaimed

"What? The emperor was assassinated? Or did Concubine Liang want to kill the emperor? What's going on?"

Suddenly remembering what Lin Junxue said a few days ago, Dan Zhen was stunned and looked at the

"My lady, you even guessed this."

Lin Junxue put down the book and looked at the two of them with a deeper gaze.

"I guessed what the emperor would do at Liang Zhaoyi's birthday party, but I didn't expect that the emperor would use assassination to start this game."

Xie Yu spent three months holding Sun Qing in his hands, favoring her, and allowing her to become the center of attention in the harem.

It was to seize the military power of the Sun family by assassinating her on her birthday.

Sun Qing assassinated Xie Yu and was convicted of the heinous crime of killing nine generations of his clan. He was thrown into prison and it was not up to him whether to plead guilty or not.

The Sun family must admit to this crime. If they want to save their lives, they can only hand over their military power.

Xie Yu's move was really cruel. He didn't need to sacrifice a single soldier, and he also wanted the Sun family to willingly hand over their military power.

Lin Junxue pinched the corner of her eyes. It was already five o'clock in the morning. It was time to go to bed.
