The master and servant returned to the inner hall. They had been together for many years, so how could Zui Xiang not see his mistress's intentions?

But the queen is right, this matter involves many things and Concubine Li really cannot get involved.

The next day, Concubine Li came early in the morning as usual.

Concubine Rou frowned, "Didn't I tell you not to get involved? Why are you looking for me?"

Concubine Li looked at Concubine Rou seriously and said word by word, "You are just a fool."

Concubine Rou wanted to argue, but Concubine Li raised her hand to stop her, "I know what you mean."

Concubine Li said to herself, "You said you ate the poisonous insects, so I guessed that you are working for Queen Xuan."

"She is the queen of a country, and her target is Your Majesty. One more or one less doesn't make much difference, so what's wrong with adding me?"

Concubine Rou looked at Concubine Li's serious expression and sighed, "We are not working for the queen. Although we were infected with the poisonous insect, we have not felt any discomfort in all these years."

"We have no worries and are willing to die. You are different from us."

Concubine Li said "Pah" twice, "What the hell, it's really unlucky."

Concubine Rou didn't care. She smiled and looked at Concubine Li seriously, saying word by word, "If you want to leave the palace, you still have the right to live a good life, but we have lived for revenge from the beginning."

After hearing this, Concubine Li hesitated for a moment and told Concubine Rou about her life story, "My parents are ordinary farmers, and I have three sisters."

"My three sisters are Zhaodi, Pandi, and Niandi. Do you know my name?"

Concubine Li's eyes were red as she looked at Concubine Rou and said with a wry smile, "My name is Qiu Di."

From the name, it can be seen how much Li Fei's parents favor boys over girls. Rou Fei doesn't know how to comfort her. She is an orphan and has been without parents since childhood.

Concubine Li didn't wait for Concubine Rou to respond, and continued to talk on her own, "I don't know if it really works, but when I was three years old, my mother really gave birth to a younger brother."

"But my mother had a severe hemorrhage when she gave birth to my brother, and she can no longer have children."

"So my younger brother has been precious since he was young. Any good things in our family have to go to my younger brother. When I was ten years old, I was not as tall as my seven-year-old brother."

"My three sisters and I are as thin as bamboo poles, but my brother is white and plump."

"My younger brother is growing up. He needs money for education, money for marrying a wife, and money for building a house."

"So my parents sold my three older sisters. Since I was pretty, I was sold to a brothel."

Concubine Li looked at Concubine Rou and said word by word, "I am indeed different from you. I have been alone from the beginning."

"I studied very hard, just to stand out from the crowd. In the end, I became an oiran. A master redeemed me and sent me to the palace. I became a beautiful lady in the palace."

After that, Concubine Li added, "Since I entered the palace, I have been looking forward to the day when I can go out."

Concubine Rou pursed her lips and said, "Then you shouldn't get involved in this mess."

Concubine Li looked at Concubine Rou and said, "I have been in a daze for more than 20 years. Finally, I want to live for myself. I want to find the meaning of my life."

Concubine Li looked serious and said word by word, "I'm not kidding, I'm serious about wanting to join you."

"Before, all I wanted was a stable life for the rest of my life, but now I also want to be with you guys."

Concubine Li's eyes were so bright that Concubine Rou couldn't open them. She could only reply dryly, "I can't make the decision. Your Majesty's words count."

Concubine Li held onto Concubine Rou's arm and said, "Then go ask her."

Concubine Rou pursed her lips and finally looked at Zuixiang. Zuixiang nodded and went out.

Concubine Li was very excited, "Then tell me quickly, who are we all."

Concubine Rou didn't dare to take any risks. She needed the Queen's consent before she could say, "Why do you want to leave the palace?"

After hearing this, Concubine Li rolled her eyes and leaned over to whisper, "Haven't you ever served that old man? He's weak but still stubborn. He's almost buried. If he dies one day, what will I do for the rest of my life? Will I be buried with him?"

After hearing this, Concubine Rou felt that what Concubine Li said was right. She had never thought about this issue carefully before. Later, she had a master, so she should stay with her master for the rest of her life.

Concubine Li climbed onto Concubine Rou's arm again, her eyes sparkling as she asked, "When will my share come?"

It took Concubine Rou a moment to realize what she was talking about. How could she have known that this man was not only greedy but also vain?

She stared at Concubine Li, "Didn't you take my share?"

Concubine Li's expression froze, and she quickly pulled out the hairpin from her head and stuffed it into Concubine Rou's hand, "Give it back to you, I want a new one."

In fact, she likes this one very much. Why not wait until the new one arrives and then find a way to get this one back?

Concubine Rou: “…”

Qi Wuyou just woke up and saw the news sent from the palace, which was a bit beyond her expectations.

But Qi Wuyou agreed. Since Concubine Li had made up her mind, the more people the better. After all, Concubine Li had been poisoned, so there was no need to worry about her rebelling.

Since we are free today anyway, why not go out and get together?

Qi Wuyou acted immediately and ordered Shisan to pass the message to Ye Jiu and He Yun to gather at Baiweizhai at noon.

Qi Wuyou walked slowly. She and Xuan Yelan were the last to arrive.

As soon as I entered the door, Ye Jiu's mocking voice came to mind, "You two are really amazing. Whether it was us or you who proposed it, you were always the last to arrive."

Qi Wuyou rolled his eyes, "Don't you want your garden anymore?"

Ye Jiu quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know I was wrong."

Qi Wuyou smiled and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and sit down quickly. I have something to say."

Ye Jiu frowned when he heard Qi Wuyou say that it had been confirmed that the cloud mist grass was in Concubine Yin's bedroom in Baohua Palace. When he went there before, there was no cloud mist grass in Concubine Yin's bedroom.

But according to Lianxiang's description, it was undoubtedly cloud grass.

Ye Jiu shared his findings, and Qi Zi continued, "Is it because your mother...she knows you are a doctor and wants to hide it from you?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Qi Wuyou and said, "She does have that flower in her palace. I can see it every time I go there, except when Ye Jiu went there that time. I just thought she lost her temper again and destroyed the flower."

Qi Wuyou felt that what Qi Zi said made sense, so she told Ye Jiu, "Anyway, go and take a look that day."

It was just a banquet, so Concubine Yin would not have hidden the cloud grass by chance.

Qi Zi suddenly thought of something, and she looked at Qi Wuyou, "What should I do if he goes to steal things?"

She is a princess after all. How could she go to the banquet alone? Besides, something big was going to happen that day, and people would be suspicious if Ye Jiu was not there.

Qi Wuyou looked at Qi Zi and laughed, "Of course I won't let my sister go to the banquet alone."

She looked in Lu Yue's direction, but Lu Yue waved her hand and said, "You can bring your family to the birthday party, but I must go with you."

To prevent some foolish people from hooking up with her man.

He Yun sighed and scratched Lu Yue's nose. "What are you thinking about? The Queen is talking about Thirteen."
