Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 519 Panic

Rumors swept out from the Yilan Palace like a hurricane.

At first, it was just saying that Concubine Jiang of the Eastern Palace was not liked by the Queen Mother.

The story spread like wildfire, and it became known that the Queen did not want Concubine Jiang to give birth to the Crown Prince's eldest son, so the people below forced Concubine Jiang to have an abortion in the name of relieving the Queen's worries.

There were also rumors that the Queen and Concubine Min were not getting along, that the Ninth Prince and the Eighth Prince were close in age and had many conflicts when studying together, and some rumors about the Eighth Prince and the Crown Prince's cousin Zhaoxun Jiang Yulan.

With the instigation of more than one or two people with ulterior motives, it was finally revealed that the Eighth Prince was having an affair with his cousin, and the Empress ordered someone to abort Concubine Jiang's pregnancy.

Jiaofang Hall.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Min requests to see you."

"not see."

Pu Jie walked out slowly, bowed to Jiang Lanzhi, and said in a gentle voice: "Empress Min, the Queen had trouble sleeping at night and went to bed at dawn. I went to take a look and found that the Queen was sleeping soundly. If you have anything to say, you may as well tell me."

"Is it because of yesterday's rumors that Her Majesty couldn't sleep?" Yun Ying behind Concubine Min Jiang Lanzhi asked hurriedly.

"Alas, what rumors, nonsense. When Concubine Jiang was pregnant, His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince was not in the capital. If Concubine Min came here for that reason." Pu Jie raised his lips in a standard arc and smiled, "You can put your mind at ease. The Queen doesn't take it to heart."

"But...if these nonsense cannot be stopped in time, I'm worried that my niece will be driven to death by the rumors." Jiang Lanzhi said anxiously with tears in her eyes.

"Don't worry, Concubine Min. You are just seeing rumors surging because..." Pu Jie lowered his eyes and shook his head, "These rumors came from your palace."

"The other palaces are very well behaved."

"I have arrested all the palace maids in Yilan Palace who were talking nonsense. Aunt Pujie, please help me tell the Queen that I did not discipline my concubines properly, and please punish me."

Pu Jie nodded and said, "I have taken note of what Concubine Min said. I will convey it to you after the Empress wakes up."

"Thank you, Aunt Pujie. I will go back first."

......

The ginkgo trees along the palace path were covered with golden leaves, but Jiang Lanzhi had no intention of appreciating them.

"My queen, aren't we going to the East Palace?"

"No, let's go back to Yilan Palace." Jiang Lanzhi had a cold face, feeling doubtful and frightened.

Pu Jie had just said to her, "When Concubine Jiang was pregnant, His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince was not in the capital."

Who in this palace doesn’t know this?

Who said that Jiang Yu was pregnant with the Eighth Prince's child and entered the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace?

Who will believe?

It was obviously impossible, but Pu Jie told her this.

Jiang Lanzhi hooked her finger at a eunuch and said, "Go check the rumors in the Pepper Palace to see if there is really such a ridiculous rumor that my niece is pregnant with the Eighth Prince's child."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Wait." Jiang Lanzhi rubbed her brows, "No need to go."

"Miss?"

"I guess the rumors spread from Yilan Palace made the Queen suspicious of us."

"Empress, what should we do?" Yunying was really anxious.

"What should we do? Don't worry about it. Without evidence, the one who should be anxious is the Queen."

Maybe she was overthinking it? It was just her intuition, or maybe it was just an illusion caused by her guilty conscience.

“The more you do, the more mistakes you make.”

Most conspiracies and schemes in history have failed because they are too complicated. The more steps and people involved, the more chaos and rush the process goes, and the outcome becomes unrecognizable.

She only did two things: find the right person to do it and let her achieve her goal in the simplest and most brutal way. As for the rest, there are plenty of people who will give her a push.
