The crabapple tree is fragrant in the tent, and the bright moon is in my arms

Ning Ruxin is very concerned about her appearance now. When she heard this, her expression softened a little: "Sit down."

"Except for often sleeping with him on that day, Your Majesty has never set foot in the harem. Concubine Gao is now..." Hua Ni sighed.

"Your Majesty loves the gentle beauty of Concubine Gao. Currently, Concubine Ning is the only one in the harem who has such beauty. She will surely rise to prominence in the future."

Ning Ruxin coughed and said, "Isn't Hua Ying the concubine's person? Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble in the future by saying this?"

Hua Ni was a little confused: "The concubine's people?"

She laughed out loud, covering her lips, with a hint of romantic charm: "I flatter the concubine, just want to live."

"If you must tell me who it is."

Hua Ni reached out her hand and touched the teacup: "Who brought me into the palace?"

Ning Ruxin recalled and suddenly understood: "You are..."

"Just keep it in mind."

Hua Ni took a sip of hot tea and looked at the fish in the water.

"Is it true that Chang Zai has trouble sleeping every night and is in a trance? To be honest, I was like this in the past few months."

"What do you mean?" Ning Ruxin covered her face: "No, no, I just didn't sleep well these days."

"Chang Zai, there's no need to hide it." Hua Ni looked at her with a charming smile: "If the food wasn't tampered with, what else could it be?"

"All your things should be sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are not only your Majesty who can dispatch them, but also the Empress, the Imperial Concubine, and even Concubine Fang."

Hua Ni said sincerely: "Chang Zai should carefully check the items in the bedroom. Some things, the more valuable they are, the more dangerous they are."

Ning Ruxin's face changed, her mind was in a mess: "What do you mean, are you saying that someone has done something to me, not what the imperial physician said about overthinking and being restless?"

"How could the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital not be able to cure insomnia?" Hua Ni blinked, "Unless... the condition keeps recurring and he is poisoned while taking the medicine, I'm afraid even gods can't cure it."

"Poison?" Ning Ruxin clenched her hands: "You mean, I'm poisoned? There's something in my room?"

"Just go back and take a look, and you'll know."

Hua Ni stood up and said, "I told Chang Zai about this because I was afraid that Chang Zai would die. After all, we are in the same boat now, right?"

She leaned forward and lowered her voice: "Noble Lady Zhao is favored, and we are the only ones who can share her favor. Apart from relying on the Queen, what other way do we have to survive?"

Ning Ruxin pursed her lips, her eyes dim.

After she left, he gritted his teeth and said, "Lan'er, what did you receive from the Ministry of Internal Affairs a few months ago?"

"This is a lot, my young master. All kinds of rewards, cloth and brocade. Oh, yes, there is also a sleeping pillow."

"Sleeping pillow?!"

Ning Ruxin grabbed her hand and asked, "How many months have I slept with it? Have you changed it?"

"I changed it, but I only washed the outer cover, not the inner one..."

"Who gave it to you? Did everyone receive it?"

Lan Er tried to recall: "I think we all got them. A chief eunuch said this pillow was very good and even Concubine Gao used it, so we all got them."

"Gao, noble, concubine."

Lan'er knelt down hurriedly: "My lady, I didn't know there was something wrong with that thing!"

Ning Ruxin's pupils turned red, her whole body trembled, and then she laughed out loud: "What a good trick, what a good trick... It makes me have nightmares every night... I can't sleep..."

Her eyes were grim: "Some people say I'm crazy. If Hua hadn't promised to tell me, I would have really gone crazy in a short time!"

Lan'er was shocked: "My lady, I will go back to the palace and check everything!"

Ning Ruxin calmed her breathing and closed her eyes: "No hurry...send him out secretly at night. Now that Song Kui and Yan Yang have lost their power, there are too few people we can use. Write a letter to father at night. There are many forces in the palace. I have to have my own people and can't let others do whatever they want!"

She opened her eyes, cold and gloomy: "The position of Chief Guard of Jinyiwei is still vacant."

If there were any of her people among the Jinyiwei stationed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, it would certainly be convenient for them to know the whereabouts of His Majesty.

Lan Er suddenly stood up and blocked Ning Ruxin: "My lady, someone is coming."

"He is a eunuch with a strange face."

Ning Ruxin stood up: "Eunuch?"

The man lowered his head, put the things down, and left quickly.

Lan Er looked at the wrapped thing and said, "My dear, don't touch it. It's a little weird!"

Ning Ruxin picked it up and her expression suddenly changed after she opened it.

It’s... Yan Yang’s jade pendant!

Lan'er looked at the note inside and said, "My lady, I asked you to go to the Pillow Book House. Did Guard Yan invite you? You can't meet him anymore. You two are no longer together!"

"No, not him."

Ning Ruxin broke out in a cold sweat and clutched the jade pendant tightly: "I must go."

This person knew her secret. If this matter were exposed, she would definitely be killed without a burial place.

She couldn't let this happen.

"Lan'er, go back and get a knife. I'm going to the Pillow Book House first."

Ning Ruxin put away the jade pendant and said, "That person asked the eunuch to tell me that he must be the master of the harem. Since he asked me to go to the empty Pillow Book House, this matter may be able to be turned around. You take the knife and come in quietly. If anything happens to me, you must kill him. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand."

Ning Ruxin wiped away the cold sweat: "It's okay...it's okay..."

-

Pillow Book Tower.

The renovated building looks even more majestic, with layers of pavilions rising like clouds. The roof, which had originally been peeling off, has been repainted and decorated with dragon carvings, making it look dignified, orderly and majestic.

Zhaoyue stood inside, looked at the neatly arranged bookcases, and reached out to touch them.

Not a speck of dust.

The man standing by the window had a playful look on his face: "My lady, why are you alone? Is this the treatment you get as a concubine?"

Zhao Yue pulled out a book, and her sleeve was nearly burned by the candle. She did not respond, but frowned: "Why light so many candles? There are so many books here, aren't you afraid of fire?"

Wei Ruoming sighed softly, "His Majesty ordered that the young lady loves reading and he is afraid that it will hurt your eyes."

He looked at Zhao Yue and said, "If there is a fire, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck. I am not always watching this place."

"It's been a long time since we last met, and your words are still sharp." Zhao Yue stared at the book and hooked her finger at him.

Motion him over.

Wei Ruoming looked around, and there was no one there.

As he moved, the sword at his waist made a clinking sound.

"My Lord, did you come to see me specially?"

His Majesty asked him to renovate the Pillow Book Tower. After it was completed, he had to inspect it every day. Thanks to Zhaoyue, he had to walk an extra circle every day.

"How is Yan Yang now?"

Zhaoyue looked very quiet while reading, which was a little disconnected from her charming face, but strangely enough, it was hard to look away. She became even more beautiful.

Wei Ruoming looked at her slender white fingers and said, "There is a saying... A tiger in plains is bullied by dogs, and a phoenix without feathers is no better than a chicken. He has been the head of the guards for so long, so naturally many people don't like him. Now that he has lost his power, what else can he do?"

He frowned and said suspiciously, "He and you...?"

Zhao Yue raised her eyes and looked at him, giving him a puzzled look, as if she thought he was sick.

"It doesn't matter."

The candlelight in the daytime was bright, shining on her side, making her look like she was coated with a layer of soft light.

His figure was reflected in her black pupils, and Wei Ruoming felt that the surroundings were extremely quiet.

Only her soft voice could be heard: "Do you want to... be the captain of the guard?"
