The Empress Behind the Veil

Chapter 30 The Concealment at the Palace

Naturally, how could Su Zhen’er not spread this news? In the palace, there is no such thing as a secret.

“Thank you Sisters. Lu’Er, save this!”

“Good, Empress!”

“Enjoy, this is snow ginseng, if made into soup, good for blood circulation and skin beauty.”

“Still there is this, flower oil cream hundreds of years, if applied to the diseased body part, can stop the pain and remove the marks, make the skin back bright.”

Qin Ruojiu was grateful to them. After saving everything, he also told someone to serve the best cakes in Fengyi Palace.

Zhao Yuanran tasted it, but Consort Lan refused to taste it. He said his stomach and intestines were not healthy, so he could not eat.

No one knew this was honest or a lie, or perhaps he was unwilling to taste the cakes for fear of being poisoned by Qin Ruojiu.

Because his face was injured and he could not speak much, Qin Ruojiu became more listening. Concubine Lan's mouth continued to speak, not stopping, while conversing with Zhao Yuanran, for some reason, she suddenly offended Su Zhen’er as well.

“Hem, the woman was desperately getting the affection of the Dearest Emperor, she did not even respect the Empress. We are all like brothers, the Empress is our sister as well. He could have held a banquet at Xiaoyang Pavilion when Brother was unwell. He's really outrageous.”

After saying, Consort Lan also took tea on the table. At the same time, he kept glancing at Qin Ruojiu and Zhao Yuanran.

Zhao Yuanran who felt Consort Lan's words had another intention even glanced at Qin Ruojiu. He still did not know this Empress, although outsiders said she was a wicked, vile, cruel person, but before looking directly at her, he would not come to think of it that way. However, although the Empress always wore a veil, her clear eyes left the impression that she was a good person.

Qin Ruojiu did not say anything, Consort Lan became disappointed.

Inwardly, he cursed the Empress foolishly, which was obvious, but the Empress still did not understand. Or maybe, he also did not dare to face Su Zhen’er?

Concubine Lan coughed , then shifted the target to Zhao Yuanran, “Haiya, not knowing why Her Majesty the Emperor kept asking Su Zhen’er to serve her. Though the demon is not Yuanran. In the past, His Majesty loved Brother Yuanran very much, now His Majesty the Emperor never even visited Qingyi Palace, I think, surely this fox demon has already vilified Brother Yuanran in the presence of the Emperor.”

As Zhao Yuanran was off guard, Consort Lan instead turned the target on him.

Yuanran was a little angry and upset, “Yuanran did nothing wrong, where maybe Consort Zhen could vilify me in the presence of His Majesty.”.

“Oh yes? Concubine Zhen likes to talk recklessly. If it wasn't for him, maybe the Empress..”.

“Celebrate Lan..”

Before Concubine Zhen spoke, Zhao Yuanran first interrupted his conversation.

Whether intentionally or not, Consort Lan wanted to push all of these matters to Su Zhen’er, she seemed to want these two women who were greater than her against Consort Zhen.

As Zhao Yuanran recalled, Consort Lan deliberately slapped herself, as if she regretted her actions.
