"I dare not ask too much from you, Your Majesty. I only ask that Your Majesty Jingpin give me some advice. Don't let me be like last time, where I was plotted against and still didn't know it."

Ye Bingshang's words were sincere and heartfelt. Jingpin was not a heartless person. She liked Ye Bingshang's dignified and reasonable character. She quickly held Ye Bingshang's hand and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

After Ye Bingshang calmed down, Jingpin spoke in a gentle tone, with a rare bit of firmness: "You are someone in my palace. When I protect you, I am protecting myself."

The two reached a consensus for the time being, and Jingpin did not refuse the floating brocade and Luozidai sent by Ye Bingshang. Life in the palace is boring, so who doesn't like these things? Just don't wear them in front of Huafei.

Jingpin had been idle all day long and had been raising turtles. With Ye Bingshang's company, she became more interested. She set up a chess game and talked about many things that had happened in the palace recently.

"You were confined to the palace to recuperate, so you probably didn't know a lot of things. Just half a month after you were released, the noble lady of Wan finally regained her favor."

Ye Bingshang looked guilty, "I didn't know much about the fact that Lady Wan was implicated because of my affairs. I really shouldn't have done that."

"You two sisters have such a deep affection for each other, which is rare in the palace." Jingpin dropped a white piece and casually echoed, "The day the emperor went to Wan Guiren's palace, he happened to see a pot of withered flowers, and immediately sent Huang Guiquan, the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to prison."

Ye Bingshang's eyes flickered, and she felt inexplicably annoyed. She shook her head slightly to make herself clearer, and dropped a black bet, "I remember that Huang Guiquan seemed to be Concubine Hua's man."

Jingpin said nonchalantly, "Yes, because of this, Concubine Hua was so embarrassed. When she came to pay her respects, she was even ridiculed by Concubine Qi. I think now she hates Concubine Wan the most, and you second."

"She is loved by everyone, but also hated by everyone. Concubine Hua has always disliked concubines and noble lady Wan."

Seeing that Ye Bingshang no longer lost her composure as she did in the past when it came to the matters of Concubine Hua and Guiren Wan, Concubine Jing raised the corners of her mouth slightly and felt more satisfied with her.

From now on, there will be someone with a similar temperament to chat with in the palace, and life will not be too boring.

Ye Bingshang did not notice Jingpin's changes. She looked calm while playing chess, but her mind had long since drifted away. An emotion called jealousy was pulling her back.

It was too familiar. She had been jealous of Ye Xiwu in the past. She was jealous that Ye Xiwu had been spoiled by everyone since she was a child. Even those who claimed that they truly loved her would forget the harm Ye Xiwu had done to them because of a dream.

When she came to this world, she became the daughter of a noble family. Her family background was better than Zhen Huan's, and she was also blessed with love. However, she began to be jealous of Zhen Huan.

Ye Bingshang felt that she was ridiculous, like a struggling ant. No matter how hard she tried or how much she planned, she could not compare to those who were favored by heaven.

It was common in the palace to flatter the powerful and bully the weak, and everyone had suffered injustice. That day, Yinzhen also saw the dire situation of her palace, but he only asked Su Peisheng to send some rewards as compensation.

But when it was Zhen Huan's turn, she sent Concubine Hua to death just because of a pot of withered flowers.

Even though Ye Bingshang didn't like Yinzhen at all, she couldn't help feeling jealous. She was jealous that Zhen Huan had received Yinzhen's genuine preference, which was not comparable to the little preference gained through love.

Well, it’s time for Zhen Huan to learn from Concubine Hua’s power.

With her mind so far away, she naturally lost the game to Jingpin, and it was a miserable defeat. Fortunately, Jingpin was not a proud and ostentatious person, and she didn't know Ye Bingshang and Shen Meizhuang very well. She just thought that she was tired because of the remnant of poison.

……

Two days later, when Yinzhen stepped into Xianyue Pavilion again, he keenly sensed the coldness around Ye Bingshang. Her words and actions were colder than usual, without her previous gentleness.

Feeling down?

Thinking about what happened this morning, Yinzhen felt a little guilty. Although there was no conclusive evidence of the poisoning, many points pointed to Concubine Hua. Unfortunately, Nian Gengyao was fighting in the northwest at that time, so he could not deal with Concubine Hua.

They could only use a few scapegoats who were pushed out as scapegoats from the imperial kitchen, and put the blame on the dead Jiang Cheng, saying that it was Jiang Cheng who bribed them.

Therefore, Jiang Cheng's wife and children were also implicated and executed together, but Jiang Shen was saved by Concubine Hua.

Yinzhen was also worried that without the Jiang brothers, Concubine Hua would look for a trusted imperial physician again, which would then require a lot of effort to deal with the matter of Huan Yixiang, so he went with the flow and spared Jiang Shen's life.

The matter has been settled. Ye Bingshang, as the victim, must have known that Concubine Hua framed and poisoned her, but he did not punish her. No wonder he has this attitude towards him today.

Yinzhen sat cross-legged on the couch by the window, pretending to read a book, clenching an eighteen-bead jade bead string in both hands. Even though he felt guilty, his tone was still steady and gentle, showing the ability to remain calm in the face of danger.

"I am sorry to have wronged you in this matter, but I have no evidence, and I cannot disappoint my subjects."

Ye Bingshang had a smile on her face that didn't look happy, but rather a little tired. Her tone was even slower than usual, as if she wanted to imprint every word in her heart. "I understand. I thank the emperor for finding the real culprit."

"Ahem."

Yinzhen coughed awkwardly, drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and clenched his 18-bead jade bracelet faster. "I have discussed this with the Queen. I plan to promote you and give you a new title."

The word "Hui" is not a bad name, but it always reminds people of that unfounded disturbance, adding a bit of disappointment.

Yinzhen thought for a moment, picked up his brush and wrote the word "Lan", "The orchid grows in a secluded valley, and does not lose its fragrance even when there is no one around. A gentleman cultivates his virtues and does not change his principles even when he is in poverty. So I named her Lan, Lanpin."

Promotion, is this compensation for protecting Concubine Hua?

Ye Bingshang knelt down calmly, speaking in a gentle tone that naturally made people feel relaxed, "I thank the emperor for his praise, but I have only been in the palace for a short time and I am helpless with the heir, so I dare not take the main position."

Yinzhen helped the man up, held Shibazi's hand and gently patted Ye Bingshang's hand, "I said you can bear it, then you can bear it. This is my order, and no one can disobey it."

"The orchid in the valley is so beautiful and otherworldly, it suits you very well."

Ye Bingshang then accepted the decree and expressed her gratitude, "I thank the emperor for his kindness."

This was an unexpected surprise. The reason why he asked Wen Shichu for the poison was just to lift the house arrest as soon as possible and frame the person who poisoned him. Now that he could be promoted first, it would be better.

If Shen Meizhuang herself was facing such a real benefit that was delivered to her door, she might have arrogantly and stubbornly refused it, but Ye Bingshang would not push it away. The position of noble and concubine was a watershed, and after the enthronement ceremony, she would become the mistress of a palace.

Ye Bingshang blinked her eyes, and her eyelashes trembled as if they were grasping at people's hearts. Her cheeks were slightly red at this moment, and she actually looked a little shy.

"I have another unwelcome request, please grant it, Your Majesty."
