Transmigrated Canon Fodder, Please Calm Down! Chapter 481



“Send everything to the Imperial Concubine.”

“Last time she mentioned liking gold and silver, take all the gold and silver from my treasury and send it over.”

“She changes her palace attire three times a day, so give her all the tribute silks too.”

“And those ornaments, I’ve heard she likes to change them daily. Send them all as well.”

Eunuch Li was stunned, staring at the dramatically transformed Xuanyuan Mo, he did not know how to respond. Remembering the message he had just received, he cautiously spoke, “Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Empress invites you to join her for lunch.”

Xuanyuan Mo’s expression instantly turned cold. The icy gaze he shot at Eunuch Li made it clear that he’d misspoken, and Eunuch Li hastily knelt down.

“This servant will deliver all the rewards to the Imperial Concubine right away.”

Feeling Xuanyuan Mo’s cold stare withdraw, Eunuch Li quickly wiped the sweat from his cheeks, inwardly groaning. Indeed, the emperor’s thoughts were impossible to predict.

Just yesterday, he had been showing favor to Her Majesty the Empress, but today he was nearly emptying the treasury to shower the Imperial Concubine with gifts. If it weren’t for the multiple layers of clothing he was wearing, his back would already be soaked with cold sweat.

News of Xuanyuan Mo’s extravagant gifts to the Imperial Concubine spread quickly and within a quarter of an hour, the entire harem knew about it. The emperor had nearly emptied his private treasury, and even the rare treasures from the latest tributes were all sent to the Imperial Concubine’s palace.

The people in the palace, whether old or new, could not understand Xuanyuan Mo’s actions and were even very astonished.

Wasn’t the one Xuanyuan Mo truly cherished supposed to be Her Majesty the Empress?

Then what was this all about today?

“Your Highness, the palace storehouse is nearly full.” Mei Lan, unimpressed by Xuanyuan Mo’s sudden generosity, asked, “Should we move things to the side hall?”

“Move them there.”

Tang Guo responded without even looking up, skillfully shuffling mahjong tiles. Seeing the stunned expressions of Concubine Meng De and the others, she smiled and said, “Wait a bit. Bring the items here and let Concubine Meng De and the others pick something first.”

“Imperial Concubine, there’s no need.” Concubine Meng De quickly shook her head. She was simply shocked. What was the emperor up to today? Could there be some sinister scheme behind this?

The other concubines thought the same way. Even those who had been reading in the side halls came over, each looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy, which was truly amusing.

They were all wondering, could it be that His Majesty was serious this time and intended to get rid of the Imperial Concubine for the sake of the Empress?

One by one, they grew increasingly anxious. As mere minor concubines, there was truly nothing they could do if the emperor decided to target another concubine.

“Concubine Yin Shu, continue. What’s wrong with all of you?” Tang Guo shook her head with a laugh. “It’s just some rewards. You’ll get used to it. It’s not a big deal. But if you keep losing focus, you’ll all leave your undergarments here and get out of my palace this time.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the women quickly snapped out of their thoughts. Losing their undergarments? That would be far too embarrassing! Besides, except for He Zhaoyuan, none of them had brought a spare set.

For several days in a row, Xuanyuan Mo continued to send various gifts to the Imperial Concubine’s palace.

At first, everyone speculated that it was a setup, assuming he was finally preparing to take action against her.

However, as days went by, and he personally selected items to send to the Imperial Concubine’s palace daily, it forced everyone to reevaluate the Imperial Concubine’s position.

The most unsettled person was naturally An Ningxiang.

She had already figured out the reason why. Xuanyuan Mo had discovered that the Imperial Concubine was the one he had been searching for.

She didn’t know what had transpired between the two of them, but it was certainly not in her favor.

“Ah Mo, what’s wrong with you lately?” An Ningxiang could no longer hold back and personally intercepted Xuanyuan Mo in the imperial study. She forced a smile and said, “Ah Mo, you…”

She opened her mouth but didn’t know how to phrase her question.
