Swap, the involutionary regent palace fight also forced me to rebel

Yun Ji remembered that the maid beside her was still kneeling at the gate of Kunning Palace, so she hurriedly trotted back to Kunning Palace.

It was not until he saw the maid's figure that he realized that he had overestimated Nan Yingzhi's athletic ability.

But after running a few quick steps, he was now out of breath and couldn't stop.

After finally catching his breath, he lowered his head and spoke to the girl whose name he did not know: "Get up."

When the little maid heard her mistress's voice, she quickly got up crying.

Seeing that "Nan Yingzhi" was intact, she rushed over and cried, "Miss, I thought you..."

Yun Ji was not used to physical contact with outsiders, so he subconsciously stepped back, trying to avoid it.

However, the little maid was a maid that Nan Yingzhi brought from the general's mansion. She was very agile and Yun Ji couldn't escape at all because of Nan Yingzhi's delicate body.

The little maid grabbed Yunji's neck and burst into tears at the gate of Kunning Palace.

Yun Ji was devastated and confused. As the daughter of a military commander, how could Nan Yingzhi’s martial arts skills not even be as good as a maid’s?

Although he thought that this maid was a personal servant and he shouldn't push her away, Yun Ji's scalp was tingling because of the strange aura surrounding him, and it was not appropriate to let her cry in front of the gate of Kunning Palace. He squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Let go!"

The little maid didn't understand why the young lady suddenly became so fierce. She bit her lip to hold back her tears and reluctantly let go.

Yun Ji looked around, grabbed her sleeve and pulled her to a secluded place nearby.

He wanted to know Nan Yingzhi's situation in the palace, but he didn't know the maid's name, so he just lied: "I accidentally fell and hurt my brain. I can't remember many things. For example, I don't know your last name."

"Ah?" She burst into tears again, "You don't recognize me!"

Yun Ji had a strong ability to empathize with others. Seeing her cry, he felt very sad. He quickly raised his hand to stop the little maid from crying: "So you are?"

"Young lady," she rubbed her red and swollen eyes from crying and introduced herself, "I am Lan Fu."

Yun Ji wanted to comfort her, his eyes wandered, and he pretended to remember: "Yes, you are Lan Fu."

Lan Fu's eyes lit up, and her surprise was beyond words: "You remembered?"

"I have some vague impression." Yun Ji didn't know where Nan Yingzhi lived, so he asked Lan Fu to lead the way. "But I don't remember where she lived, or her relationship with other concubines. Please take me back to the bedroom and tell me about it on the way."

When Lan Fu learned that the young lady had lost her memory, she felt heartbroken as if she were being stabbed by needles. She saw that the young lady no longer had her usual smile on her face, and realized that she was not in a good mood either.

In order not to make the young lady sad again, she forced herself to smile and chattered all the way, telling the whole story about the discord between Nan Yingzhi and other concubines.

Yun Ji listened and memorized it in his heart.

It turns out that Nan Yingzhi, as the eighth-rank beauty in the harem, needs to live in one palace - Zhuixia Palace - with three other people.

It gets its name from its proximity to sunset.

This palace has no other advantages except that it is close to the Imperial Garden and has beautiful scenery.

It is far from the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, so the Emperor cannot get here and has few opportunities to sleep with the Empress. It is also quite a distance from the Empress's Kunning Palace.

Even in the early morning to pay their respects to the empress, the concubines living here had to get up much earlier than the concubines in other palaces.

Otherwise, being late is a sure thing.

Although the Queen is kind, concubines in the harem are not allowed to be late without reason unless they are sick or they slept with the Queen yesterday.

Anyone who violated this rule would be severely punished for contempt of the queen.

The other three concubines in Zhuixia Palace are no pushovers either. On the surface, they call each other sisters and form a small group of three, concentrating their firepower to deal with the naive Nan Yingzhi. In fact, they are also fighting overtly and covertly - after all, there are no sisters in the harem.

Lin Cairen, who reported Nan Yingzhi for bullying the concubines, was the one who loved to show off the most in the group. The other two, Tan Cairen and Wu Meiren, were the two concubines who tried to persuade her to make a big deal out of a small matter, but were unsuccessful.

After listening to this, Yun Ji fell into deep thought. In other words, does he have to go back to this complicated and targeted Zhuixia Palace?

Although he has always liked to work hard, his love for work has not diminished even when he is not in the court.

But fighting against the women in the harem...

Yun Ji stopped at the gate of Zhuixia Palace, took a deep breath, and forced himself to accept the facts.

As a palace concubine, isn't it her job to work hard to improve her status so that she can eventually become the queen and rule over the six palaces?

Since he was considering all the concubines as his opponents, then why should he be afraid of these three beauties and talented women of similar status to himself?

Thinking of this, he straightened his back and signaled Lan Fu to push open the door of Zhuixia Palace.

"Hey," Lin Cairen's voice came out impatiently as soon as the door opened, "Where did Sister Nan go? Why did you come back so late?"

Lady Tan ran her fingers across the smooth skin of her face: "I think the Regent wants to talk to my sister."

"Sister, do you know," Wu Cairen said with a threat in her voice, "it is a serious crime for a concubine in the harem to have an affair with the prince?"

Yun Ji ignored them and walked towards his bedroom according to Lan Fu's instructions.

It is easier to block an open attack than to guard against an arrow from behind. He does not care about these cold words in public. After all, what is really terrifying are all kinds of calculations behind the scenes.

The South Americans, who usually get furious at a single word, are able to remain calm today after being framed like this?

"Hey!" Instead of getting the expected angry rebuttal, Lin Cairen continued to insist, "Are you mute? Why don't you say something!"

Yun Ji doesn't talk much. He would rather take action than talk than make harsh remarks.

What kind of hero is it if you can only show off your verbal skills for a moment?

However, blindly tolerating him was obviously not appropriate, as it would only make them think that he was weak and could be bullied.

You still have to establish your authority so that you can live a better life in the future.

Yun Ji stopped when he heard that and gave them a look.

His eyelashes drooped, making his gentle almond-shaped eyes look disdainful. His bright red lips were slightly raised, contrasting with the cinnabar mole between his eyebrows.

With such beauty, she really looks like a monster.

Being hurt by Yun Ji's beauty, Lin Cairen shouted angrily: "I just got away with it, why are you so noble!"

Concubine Wu chimed in: "That's right! You haven't even seen His Majesty yet and you're already so cocky?"

Yun Ji didn't care about their verbal attacks. He knew they had bad intentions anyway, so he didn't take a single word they said to heart and was indifferent.

He withdrew his gaze, raised his foot and continued walking into the hall.

These people are not to be feared. What is scary right now is that Concubine Shu. She seems to have a lot of dissatisfaction with this body.

Although Nan Yingzhi used the body of "Regent" to protect himself once, the rank of Concubine Shu was far higher than his own. If he couldn't do it openly, he would definitely do it secretly, or instruct other concubines to trip him up.

There are too many people in the harem who are of higher status than herself. She is like an ant and may be crushed at any time.

The three people living together in front of me might be Concubine Shu's spies.

After all, it's easiest to strike since they're close.

Thinking of this, Yun Ji felt an inexplicable chill.

When I am awake, they can't do anything to me for the time being, but when it is the middle of the night and I go to bed, who knows what they will do in my bedroom?

After much thought, he felt that he should work hard to improve his position and get out of here as soon as possible.

It is too dangerous to be in the same hall with these people.

"Let me tell you," Lin Cairen was obviously dumber than the other two. She took the initiative to provide information to Yun Ji, her voice full of pride, "You have offended the Imperial Concubine Shu. Isn't the Imperial Concubine going to execute you today for me? You may survive today, but not tomorrow!"

It was like a pillow when you are sleepy. Yun Ji hadn't figured out how to confirm the connection between them and Concubine Shu, but now his perspective suddenly became clear.

This Concubine Lin had previously sought justice from Concubine Shu, and now she keeps saying "The Empress will not let you go", so it seems that she obeys Concubine Shu.

As for the other two concubines, they seemed to be fence-sitters who were wavering between the Empress and Concubine Shu.

Yun Ji originally planned to go back to the palace directly, but when he heard "for you", he turned around and saw Lin Cairen's arm as he pulled up his sleeves.

Familiar with the wounds caused by various weapons, Yun Ji could tell at a glance that these wounds were caused by the hairpin. Her injuries looked terrible, but in fact, her muscles and bones were not damaged, so they were not a problem.

"Humph," seeing that her little trick had worked, Lin Cairen lowered her sleeves and shouted, "You really don't have the blood-scaring disease. You even tried to deceive the queen with this excuse this morning. You are really bold!"

Seeing the confusion on Yunji's face, Lan Fu leaned in and whispered to him what happened this morning, emphasizing: "That wound was definitely not caused by Miss!"

"Oh," Yun Ji understood the whole story and walked to Lin Cairen's side. He stretched out his hand and plucked out the hairpin on her head that caused the injury. "You said, was this wound caused by me?"

He played with this inferior hairpin, feeling lucky that Lin Cairen had no martial arts skills, otherwise, in his current body, it would not be so easy for him to succeed.

Lin Cairen's hairpin was taken away from her before she could see his movements clearly. She was panicked and said, "So what if it's not true? You can't produce any evidence!"

"I see the scratches caused by this hairpin," Yun Ji sneered, "are exactly the same as the ones on your arm."

Lin Cai said without thinking: "Did I draw the line at myself?"

Yun Ji shrugged: "That's the correct answer."

Lin Cairen wanted to quibble but was interrupted by Yun Ji's words.

"Since you like being scratched by the hairpin," he took a few quick steps, shortened the distance, and pointed the tip of the hairpin at Lin Cairen's eyes, "then, hey, how about I give you a few?"

Lin Cairen had never seen such a scene before. She was so scared that she struggled wildly: "You, you dare?"

Yun Ji chuckled with ease, his eyes fierce: "I dare."

Concubine Wu and Concubine Tan standing by were so shocked by this scene that they screamed and rushed out of the Zhuixia Palace.

"What's the noise about?"

A shrill voice came from outside the hall, containing a lot of criticism.

Yun Ji didn't want to make a big deal out of it. He recognized Gao Shu's voice and turned the hairpin with one hand, carefully putting it on Lin Cairen, and put his other hand on his lips: "Shh."

Lin Cairen was trembling all over and couldn't speak.

"The South American is crazy!" Lady Wu and Lady Tan shouted at the same time, "Eunuch, help me!"

Your Majesty just summoned a South American to sleep with you, and this South American went crazy?

Gao Shu had seen a lot of storms after all. He did not turn around and leave because of the one-sided words of Concubine Wu and Concubine Tan. Instead, he stepped into the palace.

He wanted to see whether this South American was really crazy or just pretending to be crazy.
