Chapter 359 Psychological Distortion
Xie Run was in a particularly peaceful mood.
"Anyway, there's a lot of talk in the palace about me trying to seize the Sixth Prince, and I can't bear all that injustice in vain."
She is in a high position, so why does she always want to explain things to the lower-ranking concubines?
Not to mention that she didn't do it, even if she did, what could Xian Zhaoyuan say?
If she is always so weak-tempered, how many people will respect her as Concubine Zhaode in the future?
Because Xie Run kept a strict control over the Showa Palace, no news was leaked.
Xian Zhaoyuan went straight back to her room and cried when she felt wronged, and no one knew about it.
It was not until the next day when Xian Zhaoyuan went to Zhaohe Palace again and was rejected by the Sixth Prince that everyone gradually realized that something was wrong.
"The Emperor has already issued the order. Can Concubine Zhaode still withhold the Sixth Prince's money?"
Concubine Sun was under house arrest, and only Concubine Xi, who lived in her palace, would occasionally visit her to talk.
It was Concubine Xi who told Concubine Sun about Xie Run and Xian Zhaoyuan competing for the Sixth Prince.
Concubine Sun resented the humiliation she suffered because of Xie Run's title being stripped away, and she spoke with rage: "Don't be fooled by her pretending to be a good person. You can't be sure what she is secretly plotting, deliberately instigating the Sixth Prince to stay away from Xian Zhaoyuan!"
Concubine Xi sighed, "Xian Zhaoyuan is unlucky. She finally got the emperor's order despite all the rumors, but who would have thought that someone would interfere at the last moment."
"I don't know what happened to the Sixth Prince. He suddenly doesn't like Xian Zhaoyuan anymore."
Her brows were slightly furrowed, and she seemed a little worried.
Concubine Sun snorted softly, "What else could it be? He's just a one-year-old child. Someone must have been playing tricks on him!"
Concubine Xi: "If this is true, what should Xian Zhaoyuan do?"
"She entered the palace with me and was in the spotlight. Now, she is being manipulated by others using her child and has suffered a lot of injustice. I really feel sorry for her."
Concubine Sun glanced at Concubine Xi and found it funny.
This Concubine Xi is really pretentious. Is she feeling sorry for Xian Zhaoyuan, or does she want to make fun of Xian Zhaoyuan as if she doesn't understand?
She smiled and said, "My sister is now pregnant with the royal heir, so the emperor naturally values her. If you really care about Xian Zhaoyuan, why don't you say a few good words on her behalf so that the emperor can fulfill her wish?"
The fact that Xian Zhaoyuan wanted to raise the Sixth Prince had long been known to everyone in the palace.
However, Concubine Sun never had any thoughts about the Sixth Prince, simply because she looked down on the Sixth Prince's mother's background.
After all, she is the daughter of a duke. What would it be like if she raised a child born to a prostitute?
So she kept staring at Wu Baolin's belly.
Now that Xian Zhaoyuan has raised the Sixth Prince, no one in the palace can compete with her.
Concubine Xi hadn't expected to be questioned by Concubine Sun. She smiled softly and said, "To be honest, sister, I have the intention, but I don't have the courage."
"Although the Emperor may have some sympathy for us mother and son for the sake of the child, my sister has never been favored and cannot grasp the Emperor's intentions."
"My sister wanted to say a few good words for Xian Zhaoyuan, but she was afraid that her words would offend the emperor and end up doing something bad with good intentions."
Concubine Sun snorted lightly, "Why don't you just say that you only want to speak well of Xian Zhaoyuan, but you absolutely cannot do it in action?"
"Can I force you to say something nice to her?"
The smile on Concubine Xi's face froze slightly.
On the way back, the maidservants beside Concubine Xi complained for her: "Empress Sun really deserves to be punished. Now that she's in such a desperate situation, she's still so arrogant!"
Concubine Xi glared at the palace maid: "She is a tiger in trouble, so what am I?"
The maid was startled and immediately lowered her head: "It was my fault, it was my fault!"
The maid complained, "I just can't stand her arrogance. She has no favor and no children. She only sits on the throne of concubine because of her connections in the palace. I guess she will die of old age as a concubine."
"The queen is pregnant with the royal heir, yet she is so aggressive and shows no mercy!"
Concubine Xi sneered, "When has she ever shown mercy to anyone? Now she's confined to Yongning Palace, isn't it because she didn't give face to Concubine Zhaode?"
"I've also inquired about it. She's never been favored in the palace. The reason she's been able to get her current position as a concubine is firstly due to her family background, and secondly because the emperor feels somewhat guilty about her, as the disfigurement of her face is somewhat related to the eldest prince."
"Now she is taking advantage of this little bit of guilt to act recklessly. Sooner or later, she will suffer the consequences."
The palace maid echoed, "That's right! In the past, she relied on her position as the mistress of Yongning Palace to make her suffer a lot. Wait until the little prince is born, and we'll see how arrogant she becomes!"
"I'm afraid that by then the main seat of Yongning Palace will have to be taken by someone else!"
Who said that the emperor has few children in his harem?
Now that I have a child, I naturally feel more confident.
While the master and servant were secretly discussing Concubine Sun, Concubine Sun was also talking about Concubine Xi to the people around her.
"I was just a little bit ignored, and you guys are treating me like a fool!"
The maid beside her handed over tea and coaxed her softly, "Your Majesty, calm down and don't bother with those little villains."
Concubine Sun was holding her tea, furious. She cursed, "Do you really think she's here to give me a letter out of kindness?"
"She just wants to instigate me to compete with Xian Zhaoyuan and fight with Concubine Zhaode!"
The palace maid was surprised: "Your Majesty has never had any grudge against her, why is she so calculating?"
"When have we never had any grudges?" Concubine Sun said with understanding, "I have been getting more irritable lately. I don't show any good will towards anyone, and I'm bound to use offensive words."
"I'm afraid Concubine Xi has been wronged in the past, and now that she has the prince's support, she wants to vent her anger."
Princess Sun had a bad temper and sometimes would lose her temper at people for no reason, or make sarcastic remarks or glare at them.
Concubine Xi lived in Yongning Palace, close to her, and probably suffered the most grievances from her.
Princess Sun is not so arrogant as to think that she can bully others and they will accept it without complaint.
The palace maid advised, "Your Majesty, you are the head of Yongning Palace. If you don't want to see her, then don't see her."
Concubine Sun: "...I am under house arrest now. If I don't see her, how can I know what is happening in the palace?"
The palace maid really didn't know how to persuade him at this moment.
After Concubine Sun was stripped of her title and placed under house arrest, her temper became less sharp, but she was still moody and erratic.
After complaining about the waiter, Concubine Sun said, "Go to the storehouse and select some good supplements for the imperial physicians to examine, then send them to Wu Baolin."
Maid: "Yes."
After sending the messenger away, Concubine Sun leaned against the head of the bed, playing with the tassel in her hand out of boredom.
Her appearance was ruined, and she probably had no hope of gaining favor in this life.
But she actually didn't really want to raise the baby in Wu Baolin's belly.
After all, who at such a young age would want to raise someone else's child?
It was just that with her current status and position, having a child would always be much more stable, and with the urging of her parents and elders, she would go to show her goodwill to Wu Baolin every now and then.
Princess Sun also knew that Wu Baolin was about to give birth, and she was worried that someone would snatch her child away, so she held her belly and was in a panic every day.
Every time Concubine Sun or anyone else gave something to Wu Baolin, Wu Baolin would toss and turn in bed that night.
Perhaps it was because her mentality changed after her face was destroyed that Princess Sun now has some subtle psychological distortion.
When she was in a bad mood, she would go to send things to Wu Baolin.
Seeing Wu Baolin frightened, she felt an indescribable joy and pride in her heart.
