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

Chapter 306 Inexplicable

On the second day, when the concubines paid their respects, Lin Junxue announced the list of people accompanying them on the journey south.

Some were happy and some were sad, and the happy ones were naturally the concubines who could accompany him.

After paying respects, Chen Mi deliberately stayed behind, saying that she was not feeling well and did not want to follow.

Lin Junxue looked at Chen Mi in front of her. In this harem, Chen Mi was the first one who had a clear understanding of life.

But in the past few days, Chen Mi's expression was obviously a little off.

When the concubines were chatting, they were distracted and no one knew what they were thinking about. This was different from the past.

Lin Junxue said calmly, "Okay, since Concubine Mi is not feeling well, take good care of yourself when you go south this time. I will tell the emperor that you will not be accompanying him this time."

Chen Mi stood up and saluted

"Thank you very much, Queen. It is because of my poor health that I was unable to serve you and the Emperor this time."

Lin Junxue waved her hand

"Please sit down, Concubine Mi. I feel relieved to have you in the harem."

Chen Mi paused and said politely, "Your Majesty, please trust me. I will not let you down."

Chen Mi sat for a while, drank a cup of tea, and left with the palace maid.

After she left, Qiao Xin came in

"Your Highness, a few days ago, Duke Chen's Mansion sent a letter to the palace. It was very secretive. Yesterday, Eunuch Xiao from the Ministry of Internal Affairs received the news. Xiao Xiazi has not yet hurried to report this to you, Your Highness."

Lin Junxue's control over the harem is now very deep,

Lin Junxue held the teacup in her hand without moving, her eyes deepened.

A few days ago, the Mansion of Duke Chen sent a letter to the palace, saying that Concubine Mi had been behaving abnormally for the past few days.

It seems that Concubine Mi's abnormal behavior has a lot to do with the Chen Guogong Mansion.

Concubine Mi has always been a calm and steady person, but she has been acting strangely these past few days.

In this case, it seems that this letter from Duke Chen's Mansion is quite interesting.

Lin Junxue took a sip of tea slowly and put it down. She always felt that this letter might be related to her.

Because in the past few days, there has been a slight change in the way Chen Mi looks at her. Outsiders can't notice it, but she can feel the difference.

"Duke Chen has always been famous in the court for not competing or fighting. When the late emperor was in power, Duke Chen was deeply trusted by the late emperor. When the emperor ascended the throne, Duke Chen made a lot of efforts. Over the years, the lives of other dukes have not been as carefree as Duke Chen. Back then, Concubine Mi was the emperor's preferred candidate for empress. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor's accession to the throne was unstable and needed the support of my father and brothers, the position of empress would probably have belonged to Concubine Mi. Duke Chen, this shrewd guy, has been planning for many years and paved a good way for Concubine Mi."

As for the illusion of non-competition created by Duke Chen, it may be used to deceive outsiders.

If she really didn't want to fight or compete, she would not have allowed Chen Mi, the respected daughter of the Duke's Mansion, to enter the deep palace where people were eaten without leaving any bones.

Chen Mi was also a noble lady from an aristocratic family. Many young men from famous families wanted to marry her. Finally, the Duke Chen's Mansion sent her to the palace and she became Concubine Mi.

In the final analysis, letting Chen Mi enter the palace would consolidate the status of the Chen Guogong Mansion.

Qiao Xin said, "Your Majesty, although Duke Chen no longer has any real power in the court, he has always been respected and trusted by the emperor. Over the years, no matter which concubine in the harem is favored, the emperor has never treated Concubine Mi coldly. Concubine Mi does have some weight in the emperor's heart. Your Majesty, do you suspect that there is something wrong with the letter sent by Duke Chen's mansion?"

Lin Junxue nodded slightly. In fact, if it was a normal day when her mother's family sent a letter to her, it would not be a big deal for a concubine and she would not take it to heart.

But these few days, when Chen Mi came to Zhonghe Palace to pay his respects, he was obviously absent-minded, which was very abnormal.

Several times, Chen Mi looked at her with a look that was not normal, but rather complicated.

She has always been sensitive, so she felt it at the first moment.

Originally, she thought she was just being overly concerned.

But today, Chen Mi stayed alone again, saying that he was not feeling well and could not go south with them. This was very wrong.

At this moment, no matter how I think about it, something is wrong.

Lin Junxue put away her thoughts. This time, she hoped that she was just overthinking.

"This time when we go south, tell Xiao Cheng to pay more attention to Concubine Mi's Shenguang Palace. Maybe, it may be that I am overthinking it."

Qiao Xin leaned forward and said, "My lady, I will tell Eunuch Xiao right away."

At night, after Lin Junxue had served the emperor in bed, she told Xie Yu that Concubine Mi could not go south with him.

After listening to this, Xie Yu only said that if Chen Mi felt unwell, he should take good care of himself. However, he still called Gao Cheng in and gave Chen Mi some tonic.

On the second day, after Xie Yu left the court, he went directly to Chen Guang Palace to see Chen Mi and had lunch together.

After Lin Junxue knew about this, she was not surprised.

If the original owner was sincere to Xie Yu back then, Xie Yu married her more for the support of the Lin family father and son.

Then, Chen Mi entered the palace relying on his childhood sweetheart relationship with Xie Yu, which was naturally different.

In this harem, if there is a concubine that Xie Yu values, Chen Mi is the most important one.

She and Xie Yu have had a deep bond for many years, and the fact that Xie Yu was able to go to Chenguang Palace today shows his deep affection for Chen Mi.

evening

Lin Junxue comes out of the shower

Danzhen stepped forward and gently applied the prepared hair oil on Lin Junxue's long hair.

"Your Highness, just now, Eunuch Gao came over while you were bathing. Eunuch Gao said that the Emperor would not come to our Zhonghe Palace today and has already rested in Chenguang Palace."

Lin Junxue nodded slightly, "Yes, I understand."

Guyu points good incense, and comes over

"Your Majesty, Aunt Qiaoxin and the palace maids have prepared all the things for the trip south today. We will set out in five days. Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions? I will go and prepare them."

Lin Junxue said calmly, "Don't worry about the things that Qiaoxin and you have prepared. Just prepare them."

Guyu nodded in agreement

this night

Lin Junxue slept exceptionally well. It could be said that as long as Xie Yu didn't sleep next to her, she could sleep peacefully.

A good night's sleep.

On the second day, after Lin Junxue got up, she issued an order that the concubines in the harem would be exempted from paying respects to each other for the next five days.

In the next few days, Xie Yu stayed at Chenguang Palace. The day before departure, he came to Zhonghe Palace.

Lin Junxue smiled, went up to greet him, and said, "Your Majesty, good luck!"

Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue without any abnormality and still had a smile on his face.

He stood there, looking deeply at Lin Junxue, and inexplicably felt uncomfortable in his heart.

He had not been to Zhonghe Palace for four days and had been staying at Concubine Mi's place.

Jun'er looks like he doesn't care at all?

In the past two days, soup was not delivered to Taiwu Palace as before.

"Get up, Jun'er"

Lin Junxue could tell that Xie Yu's attitude was a little colder than usual.

What is Xie Yu doing?

She stood up, looking normal.

"Your Majesty, why are you so unhappy today that you come to vent your anger on me?"

Xie Yu paused, turned his head and looked at Lin Junxue who was still standing there with a smile on her face, frowned, and lowered his tone.

"Jun'er"

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became extremely cold.

Gao Cheng and Qiao Xin looked at each other, Gao Cheng waved his hand, and the waiters immediately left.

Then, Gao Cheng and Qiao Xin stepped aside
