Chapter 138 Cold Palace

"Concubine Zhen was disrespectful in front of the emperor, and her palace power was stripped away. She was moved to Chongde Hall and confined to her house. She was not allowed to leave without the emperor's order."

After listening to the story and dealing with Lu Xinyin, Qin Zhi went straight back to Zhaozheng Palace. Today was going to be another busy day.

Qin Zhi glanced at Zhang Deli who seemed to be hesitant to speak, thought for a moment, then ignored him and decided to go to bed.

"His Majesty!"

Zhang Deli was about to speak after hesitating.

Empress Zhen is pregnant. Should we arrange for an imperial physician to take care of her?

"go out."

Qin Zhi interrupted him before he finished speaking.

What else could it be that he was hesitating about other than Concubine Zhen?

If he doesn't care about the baby in Concubine Zhen's belly, will the Queen Mother just watch Lu Xinyin being pregnant and sent to the cold palace and do nothing?

If other concubines were locked up in the cold palace, it might be miserable, but the empress dowager was still alive. She was Zhenfei's aunt. Chongde Hall was so close to Ci'an Palace. Although the queen mother would not openly disobey his will, she would provide a lot of care and help in private.

Early the next morning, Qin Zhi handled the affairs of state skillfully.

After listening to the imperial physician's report on the health conditions of the Fourth Prince and Concubine Hui, he slowly rode on the dragon chariot to the Queen's Pepper Palace.

Qin Zhi planned to discuss with Shen Ningyue the specific matters of promoting the old people's positions before the new concubine entered the palace, and issue an imperial decree by the way.

The six palaces were just promoted not long ago, so it shouldn’t have been so soon that there was another wave of collective promotions.

However, on the one hand, Concubine Zhen Lu Xinyin was moved to Chongde Palace and was under house arrest, Li Xihua and Jiang Lanzhi were demoted to confinement in their respective palaces, and on the other hand, only Concubine Hui Meng Xinghe was promoted.

Although everyone knew that this promotion was a comfort to Meng Xinghe, knowing was one thing, but jealousy was inevitable when comparing the two.

"I have met your Majesty. May your Majesty be well and at peace."

Shen Ningyue bowed gracefully, her eyes flashing with surprise at seeing Qin Zhi.

She originally thought that His Majesty would go to Suzaku Palace to accompany Meng Xinghe and the fourth prince Qin Mingyun in the next few days. No matter how noble her second princess Mingyue was, she would always be inferior to the prince in the eyes of the world.

"Get up."

"Your Majesty, have you gone to the Suzaku Palace to see Concubine Hui? I heard that the Fourth Prince has woken up, and I was just about to go and see him when your Majesty arrived."

Shen Ningyue's clear and bright phoenix eyes were curved, and there was a soft smile in her voice, like a feather sliding across her heart, bringing a slight itch.

Qin Zhi held Shen Ningyue's hand and led her into the palace, heading towards Princess Hengshan's bedroom.

"After I have seen Mingyue and drafted the decree, I will go with you."

"What's the purpose?"

“The intention of promotion.

Although the conferment of titles on the six palaces had just taken place not long ago, Concubine Zhi gave birth to the fifth prince after that and therefore missed out on the reward.

After Yan Liangren was demoted, I saw that she had behaved herself a lot better, so it's time to promote her.

As for Noble Lady Hui, I plan to promote her to Noble Consort."

"I will do my best to obey your majesty. Since your majesty has made up his mind, the auspicious event of the promotion should be held as soon as possible. I will call someone to draft the imperial decree."

"Noble Lady Hui will be named Noble Concubine Hui, Noble Lady Zhi will be named Concubine Zhi, and Lady Yan will be named Noble Lady Li."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I heard early this morning that Your Majesty wanted to move Concubine Zhen's sister to Chongde Palace? Has the Empress Dowager known about this?"

Everyone in the palace knows that misconduct in front of the emperor is just a basket that can hold anything.

Without stating the specific true crime, she was moved from Hanzhang Palace, which was very close to His Majesty's bedroom, to Chongde Palace, which is more remote, and was placed under house arrest indefinitely. So Chongde Palace was either a cold palace or a cold palace.

It is not entirely remote, after all, it is very close to the Empress Dowager's current bedroom, Ci'an Palace.

The Empress Dowager's bedroom originally planned for the imperial palace was not the current Ci'an Palace, but the Jing'an Palace at the other end. However, as the Empress Dowager did not like the location and layout of the original Ci'an Palace, she replaced the plaques of the two palaces.

The original Ci'an Palace has become the Jing'an Palace where the concubines live today, and the original Jing'an Palace has become the Ci'an Palace where the empress dowager lives today.

Chongde Hall is located to the rear of Empress Dowager Ci'an Palace, where the late emperor's concubine, Zhao, once lived.

When the late emperor was still the crown prince, Zhao was imprisoned in Chongde Hall and confined under house arrest. Later, when the late emperor ascended the throne, she was brought out and given the title of Chen Fei, which was above the noble concubine. Your Majesty does not often go to Ci'an Palace, so I don't know if Concubine Zhen has the same luck as Chen Fei.

His Majesty had just concluded the trial of the poisoning case of the Fourth Prince and Concubine Hui, and before the night was over, Concubine Zhen was imprisoned in Chongde Hall.

Not sure whether it was because she spoke up for her younger sister that angered His Majesty, or because her vicious true face was exposed by His Majesty, Shen Ningyue was more inclined to the latter.

However, Shen Ningyue was too lazy to delve into these matters. His Majesty had said with all her might that it was Concubine Lin Gui who did it, so it could only be Concubine Lin Gui who did it.

As for what Meng Xinghe thought, whether he suspected that His Majesty was shielding Concubine Yi or was suspicious of Concubine Zhen, it had nothing to do with her. Just don't let anyone die. She was the queen and she must not easily get involved in a fight with concubines.
