Hua Fei shook her head. "Forget it, let's talk about it later. Thank you for this."

"Because I was blind, I tortured Concubine Jing a lot. In the end, I was the one who let her down. It was you who helped me get rid of this sin."

Su He was shocked. She suddenly remembered that if she hadn't arrived suddenly and told Concubine Hua the truth, Concubine Hua's sins might not be limited to this one.

"My beauty, before the palace selection, did the queen assign a maid to you?"

"Yes, it was a maid named Fuzi."

"Is she still alive?" Su He asked tentatively.

"Why, a little palace maid is worthy of my sister's attention?"

Su He rolled his eyes and said, "I just don't want your hands to be stained with blood because of Fatty Orange."

"She's still alive. Songzhi should have arranged for her to do some cleaning work."

"Has the Emperor seen her?"

"What do you mean?"

"The Queen must have had a purpose in sending someone like that. She wouldn't have done it to place a nail in your palace. Your Yikun Palace is so well-protected, she wouldn't do such a useless thing."

"You mean, for the Emperor?"

Su He shook her head. "I guess so. First, she wanted to disgust you. If you kill her because of the emperor, she can flatter you in front of the emperor and make him think you are vicious. Your Nian family is so powerful that you can be so unscrupulous."

"Hmph~, if it were in the past, I'm afraid it would really be the same as before. To me, she's just a little palace maid, so I can just kill her."

"But now, I know that these things may be the driving force behind the Nian family's destruction in the future."

"That old woman, the Queen, has a really good plan."

"Sister, you seem to be particularly compassionate to the palace maids?"

Su He was born under the red flag and grew up in a harmonious and stable social environment. The relationship between people was equal, at least on the surface. In addition to the respect for life, even a three-year-old child knew that killing was against the law.

But she couldn't tell Concubine Hua that it was wrong to kill people for personal gain.

Because the times and living environment are different, she cannot use her own values ​​to demand people of this era.

"I'm not pitying the palace maids. It's just that no matter who they are, whether they are the emperor or beggars, to me, they are all raised by their parents and are all living beings. I should just respect life."

"You have really changed a lot, as if I have never known you." Concubine Hua sighed.

"(ˉ▽ ̄~) Tsk~~, you're talking like we knew each other well."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and they were as close as brothers.

"Have you met Cao Qinmo and Lipin recently?"

"I used to win their favor, so I kept them by my side. But now I don't need this illusory favor at all. Why should I care about them?"

"Besides, one is dumber than me, and the other is sinister and vicious. Thinking about the past, I feel uneasy to keep such people around."

Su He felt relieved when she saw Concubine Hua thinking this way, "That's good."

"Songzhi, go call Fuzi in."

"This servant pays respects to Concubine Hua and Concubine Qi."

"Get up~, the old lady Queen has assigned you to me. I don't care what conspiracy you have. I will give you two choices now."

"First, I will give you to the emperor and let you be a real mistress. Second, I will let you leave the palace."

Fuzi's eyes were filled with confusion. He stood there at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Hua Fei's aura remained the same, and Su He was very happy. She still liked Hua Fei like this.

"Fuzi, don't be afraid. Concubine Hua has no other intentions. Think about it carefully. If you have any difficulties, just speak up."

Fuzi knelt on the ground with a thud, "My two majesties, I don't know either."

The two looked at each other.

"Just tell me what you have to say. I and Concubine Qi will take care of it for you. What are you afraid of?"

"My two madams, I don't want to be the emperor's man, but if I leave the palace, I won't be able to support my brother and sick mother at home. So for a moment, I don't know what to do."

"Then what do you want? There is no way you can stay in Yikun Palace any longer. You also know that I am in opposition to the Queen, and I don't trust you."

Su He patted Concubine Hua's hand, signaling her not to be anxious.

"Fuzi, tell me about your family situation."

"My lady, there are four people in my family, my father, my mother, and my 8-year-old brother. My father is a carpenter, and my mother's family used to be a small businessman. But after my grandparents passed away, the family property was taken away, and my relatives arranged a marriage for me in order to maintain their interests."

"But that man was uneducated and only knew how to hang out in brothels all day long. My mother ran away from the marriage and later encountered a human trafficker, who saved her life. "

"Life was good in the early years. My father was a skilled craftsman and my mother ran a cosmetics shop which was doing well."

"It's just that my mother had a rough life in the first half of her life. In addition, she was in poor health after giving birth to me and my brother. That's why I secretly sold myself into the palace."

"I used to work in the laundry department. Three months ago, the Empress transferred me from the laundry department to serve in Jingren Palace."

"Then have you learned even a little bit of your mother's skills?"

"I know the entire business process, but I dare not say anything else."

"Okay, I will send someone to check if what you said is true. If it is true, I will send someone to treat your mother and find a good way out for you."

"Okay, you can go down now. Since Concubine Qi has promised you, you should stay in Yikun Palace recently. I will not treat you badly."

"Thank you, Madam Hua, thank you, Madam Qi."

"Sister? You want to use her for business?"

"Yeah, I want to make more money so I can feel at ease."

"Sister, all you have is money. What's mine is yours. Why do you have to work so hard to earn it?"

"Shilan, have you ever thought about what else you want to do besides being the emperor's concubine?"

Concubine Hua stared at Su He blankly and did not respond for a long time.

"Okay, Miss Hua, think about it carefully. It's getting late today. I wanted to teach you how to play Monopoly, but it's too late to talk. I'll put the things here first, and you can play by yourself by reading the instructions. I'm going to go back first."

Lingrong had been in the emperor's bed for three consecutive days, which was almost as long as Concubine Shen's. Every time they paid respects to the emperor, they would engage in verbal battles.

The weather was getting colder, and Su He really wanted to drink hot milk tea, so he asked for some milk, taro, and glutinous rice flour and started tinkering in the small kitchen.

The smell of freshly-made caramel taro milk tea filled the entire small kitchen. "Hongtao, Baiguo, go call Lingrong and Siji over. This should be drunk hot."

Su He directly asked Xiao Yingzi to carry one of the small pots into the main hall and instructed:

"Xiao Yingzi, you should divide that big pot among the palace servants."

"Thank you, Master~, I'll go right away. I think everyone is drooling already."

These days, no matter what new food Su He researched, he would let the palace people try it. Such a life was something Xiao Yingzi had never dared to imagine before.

The master is kind and he can often enjoy delicious food. Little Yingzi feels very happy every day and becomes much more lively.

Before Baiguo entered the east side hall of Concubine Xia, the door curtain was opened.

"Bai Guo, is it my sister calling me?"

Bai Guo lowered his head and smiled secretly, "Chang Zai, go quickly, the queen is waiting~"

Jin Xi at the back couldn't help but shook her head helplessly, "Young Master is really becoming more and more childish."

"Aunt and Miss Bailu, please come with me to the small kitchen to have a cup of milk tea. It smells very sweet~"

Xia Dongchun lay on the table, looking at the small pot in front of him with a tightly covered lid, with a look of despair.
