Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 236 Lan Ruo is injured

Kunning Palace.

Things in the palace can be hidden from others, but they cannot be hidden from the Queen Mother. It didn't take long for the Queen Mother to hear about Huang Ye sending food to the retired Emperor.

"This Concubine Huang knows the benefits of living in Ningyuxuan. No wonder she refused to move out when asked." The queen was very angry. She heard that the emperor had also gone to Qiyun Palace. The emperor had been to Qiyun Palace too frequently in the past few days.

"Lanruo, how do you think we can get Concubine Huang to leave Ningyuxuan?" Although the Queen asked for Lanruo's opinion, her gloomy eyes still made Lanruo shiver.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor...can't possibly not visit the new concubines. That Concubine Huang is pretty. Not to mention that the Emperor hasn't been to Ningyuxuan yet, it would be normal for him to go there in the future. The Emperor can't possibly never visit the new concubines. There are also advantages to Concubine Huang living far away. She won't be in front of your eyes usually, so you will have less worries, right?" Lan Ruo sincerely advised the Queen. Since Concubine Huang was determined not to move out, it would be better to just leave it at that.

"You mean to just let it go, even though she lost face for me in front of so many people this morning?" The queen held back her anger. Is Lan Ruo her person? Why does she always speak for others?

"That's not what I meant..." Lan Ruo felt that the Queen was overthinking: "Your Majesty, think about it. The Supreme Emperor values ​​her now, and she has the Emperor's favor. If you touch her rashly and anger the Supreme Emperor, it would be fine. The Supreme Emperor has a good temper. But if you anger the Emperor..." What she meant was that if the Emperor was angered, it would affect the relationship between the Queen and the Emperor.

Lan Ruo did not say anything else. The Emperor usually looked very kind and had never said harsh words to the Empress. However, he was the Son of Heaven after all. If a quarrel really broke out... it would probably not end well.

"You are the head aunt of my Kunning Palace, but you always speak for others. What is your intention...huh?" The queen suddenly got angry and picked up the chair beside her and smashed it on Lan Ruo's head: "Useless thing, what use is there for you? I think you have reached the end of your job as the head aunt, why don't you just let someone else do it?"

Lan Ruo just saw that the Queen showed no signs of losing her temper, so she dared to give the Queen heartfelt advice. After all, the child was raised by her own breast, so how could she not feel sorry for her? Seeing that the Queen was sad, she also wanted to persuade her to be more positive. Who knew that the Queen would suddenly become angry, and she was not prepared at all.

Because Lan Ruo lowered her head, she was hit by the chair raised by the Queen, and fell to the ground and fainted.

Seeing Lan Ruo fainted, the Queen was a little panicked. She just wanted to find an excuse to remove Lan Ruo from her job as manager and let Nanny Yang take her place. Unexpectedly, she lost control of her temper and knocked her unconscious. You know, the person in charge of Kunning Palace also has a rank. If someone dies casually, the Ministry of Punishment will have to intervene.

"Go and call Nanny Yang over." The queen opened the door a crack and said to the palace maid standing outside the room.

The palace maid looked normal and she agreed obediently and went to call Nanny Yang. However, only she knew that her hands were shaking badly. She heard Aunt Lanruo's scream clearly just now. She had to run quickly to call for help. Aunt Lanruo was usually very protective of them, so nothing could happen.

Nanny Yang rushed over breathlessly. The Queen called her, which must mean she has made up her mind to take action. As the person who came up with the idea, she must not fall behind.

The queen let Nanny Yang in alone. She was startled to see Lan Ruo still lying unconscious on the ground. She didn't even bother to greet him and asked anxiously, "Queen, what's going on?"

"She just talked back to me... As the head aunt of Kunning Palace, she eats the food of Kunning Palace, but she speaks for others..." The Queen said stubbornly: "I was so angry that I took a chair and threw it at her. Who would have thought that she was so useless and fainted like this."

"Madam, is there any way to wake her up?" the queen asked Madam Yang.

Nanny Yang calmed herself down. She had experience with this kind of thing. She took out a large sewing needle from her purse and stabbed Lan Ruo in the philtrum. Bright red blood oozed out, but Lan Ruo still did not wake up.

Nanny Yang hardened her heart, picked up Lan Ruo's hand, and stabbed the needle hard into the gap between the nails of her middle finger. Lan Ruo suddenly took a few deep breaths and slowly opened her eyes.

"Lanruo, how do you feel? Can you get up and walk?" Seeing Lanruo wake up, the queen was relieved.

With the help of Nanny Yang, Lan Ruo struggled for a while before she stood up shakily. She felt dizzy and nauseous, and had no strength in her body. This queen was really cruel. She was going to take her life.

"Your Highness...I am too old...and may not be able to handle the job of being the head of Kunning Palace...Please find someone else."

Enduring the discomfort, Lan Ruo spoke intermittently. Although she was exhausted now, she was still very clear in her mind. Seeing Nanny Yang appear here at this time, if there was anything she didn't understand, she took the initiative to raise it. At least she and the queen still had some relationship, and the queen would not kill her.

"Since you proposed it yourself, I cannot go against your wishes. From now on, you can live out your retirement in Kunning Palace. When you have nothing to do, go visit the eldest princess more often. That child will love you."

Seeing Lanruo was so sensible, the queen immediately became friendly. Although Lanruo was not very capable, she was really kind to children. She was relieved to leave the eldest princess to her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." Lan Ruo replied tremblingly, "Please help me wash up... It won't look good for me to go out in this state." Her hair was covered in blood, and she looked scary.

Who is Nanny Yang? Of course she knew that if Lan Ruo went out like this, she would definitely be criticized, so she quickly agreed to go out, brought in a basin of water, and cleaned up for Lan Ruo. During the whole process, the queen said nothing, as if this matter had nothing to do with her, and there was no trace of pity in her eyes.

Lan Ruo's heart was completely chilled. She had known for a long time that she was such a vicious person. The funny thing was that she still thought that she was a child raised by her mother and that she was different to her. She suddenly regretted why she had listened to her and brought that bowl of bird's nest to Madam Yu, causing such a charming beauty to die. This was retribution, retribution for the evil things she had done in the past.
