The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 49 Is The Content All Right?
“When I got hurt, didn't you also visit me? Even brought me very expensive nutritious food. Even though I don't have any expensive items or food, I brought you a new blanket. This blanket is made neatly, the material is also soft, definitely warm.”
“Iya, the image of her peon was embroidered by the Empress herself, she spent about a month to complete the embroidery.” Lu’Er said while showing the embroidery to Zhao Yuanran, so that the Majesty's Concubine could feel the Empress's kindness.
It turned out that Qin Ruojiu felt embarrassed and reprimanded in a small voice, “This is nothing. Compared to other concubine gifts, my present is completely worthless.”
It does. Swiftlet nest, ginseng, hasma (Hasma is a traditional Chinese food ingredient made from the uterine tract of frogs, especially the female Asian grass frog (Rana chensinensis) which is caught before spring.) and others, everything was much more expensive than Qin Ruojiu's gift.
Zhao Yuanran stared at the embroidery on the blanket and smiled sincerely, “Wah, it's beautiful. Was it really Brother who embroidered this? Very good, I have never seen results embroidery as beautiful as this.”
“Iya, the Empress who embroidered it.” replied Lu’Er
“It's nothing, I have free time, so I do things that can make me happy.”
“This song is really beautiful. When compared to the items on the table, I prefer this blanket.”
Hearing Zhao Yuanran's praise, Qin Ruojiu became flattered, “Oh? The important thing is you like. I don't know what to give you, this is just as a concern from me. But you see, because I came, all those who visited you fled.”
Zhao Yuanran laughed, “Don't say that. I'm most pleased that the Empress came. Of all the concubines, where was ad ayang really sincere to visit me because of my concern? Everyone just wants to know my situation, find out the news about the Emperor's son.”
“Oh yes?” even though Qin Ruojiu understood, but he did not want to accuse others, so he just pretended to be shocked.
Qin Ruojiu recalled Lu’Er's words, then asked, “Why? Is he really the mastermind behind all this?”
Zhao Yuanran shook his head, “I don't know either, but if it's Consort Zhen's doing, I don't think he's going to tell his lady to do that, because it's too conspicuous. Although he was a loved one of His Majesty the Emperor, but if he harmed the emperor's son, his life would also be miserable. He is a smart man. I don't think he will be so reckless.”
“Then, how do you handle this issue?”
“I have asked His Majesty the Emperor not to blame Consort Zhen first, but rather to investigate this matter secretly to find the person behind all of this.I guess as long as the emperor's son is healthy, I think as long as the emperor's son is healthy, that person will definitely appear again.”
Qin Ruojiu saluted Zhao Yuanran's calmness in dealing with the matter, Zhao Yuanran's nature was truly commendable.
Hearing his reply, Qin Ruijiu said, “Iya, Your Majesty's concubine should observe this matter closely. We must not accuse others without evidence, but we must also not let bad people be free.”
“Is your son okay? He wasn't hurt, was he?” qin Ruojiu asked as she raised her head and smiled.
Zhao Yuanran nodded.
“His Majesty's concubine, you told me so many things, aren't you afraid that I'm the one who wants to hurt you? Now that something happened to you, I was the first person suspected, in everyone's eyes, because I was the empress and my heart was evil, because you threatened my position, then.”.
