"How could it be, how could it be! How could it be!" After leaving the forest, Concubine Shu looked incredulous all the way.

She really couldn't believe that Xiao Heng would really lower his status and hang out with a palace maid. It was obvious that he already had three thousand concubines in his harem. Even if he was fickle, he could just open up his harem and recruit more beautiful girls.

The more Concubine Shu thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She suddenly raised her head and grabbed Su Minglang who was walking in front of her. Su Minglang staggered when she suddenly pulled him and turned around to look at her in confusion.

"You knew it a long time ago, right? Su Minglang!" Concubine Shu suddenly remembered that Su Minglang had shown unusual calmness from the beginning. She thought that even if the Queen accidentally saw the Emperor and the palace maid mingling, she would not be so calm.

"What the hell is going on! Who is that woman?!"

Su Minglang frowned as she listened to Concubine Shu's angry questioning. She pressed down Concubine Shu's hand that was holding her and looked straight at her. For a moment, Concubine Shu was shocked by the aura in her eyes.

"Forget about her." Su Minglang said in a flat tone.

“How is this possible!” Concubine Shu suddenly broke free from her hands, pointed her finger at the tip of Su Minglang’s nose and angrily cursed: “How can I tolerate such a bitch to infest the harem!”

"Although we are concubines, we are also listed in the royal family's jade book! We will be buried in the imperial mausoleum in the future. How can we allow a little palace maid to defile us with such a noble status?" The more Concubine Shu spoke, the more resentful she became. "Your Majesty must have been bewitched by that little bitch, it must be like this!"

"Bewitched?" Su Minglang sneered, "What kind of bewitching would make Your Majesty risk his majesty's life and bring her into the royal enclosure?"

"It must be bewitching, it must be bewitching..." Concubine Shu muttered to herself as if she couldn't hear her question. Su Minglang looked at her and she looked like she was possessed by a demon.

This incident happened suddenly and was certainly not in Su Minglang's plan. She had expected that since Xiao Heng brought Li with him, some trouble would occur, but she did not expect to be met by the person she should not have met.

"Phew! Fortunately, she didn't see it." Su Minglang could only think thankfully at this moment that the Queen didn't see it, otherwise she would really be at a loss.

Su Minglang suddenly felt that she was a little rash. She had been acting according to her original memories, but since she woke up, this world had become very different from her previous life, and variables were coming to her one after another.

If she continues to follow the routine as before, she's afraid that the opposite of what she wants will happen.

However, her top priority now was how to persuade Concubine Shu to be patient. After all, she still needed to create an illusion for Xiao Heng that Li's identity had not been exposed. The only thing to be thankful for was that she had been holding Concubine Shu down, so she did not see Li's face clearly, but only saw the palace maid's clothes.

"So what even if you saw it?" Su Minglang asked suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Concubine Shu suddenly woke up from her own world and asked in confusion: "Just find her and deal with her. What's the big deal about a maid dying in the palace? Do you think the palace is as peaceful as your Linglong Palace?"

Su Minglang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect her to say it so directly. Then he sighed and asked seriously, "But you didn't see her face clearly, and you don't even know her name."

"How are you going to find him?" Su Minglang paused and continued, "Are you going to deal with every maidservant around His Majesty?"

"Don't forget who the master of that palace is!"

"But, but..." Concubine Shu couldn't think of any better way for the moment, but she was unwilling to just endure it.

"Don't say but." Su Minglang turned around and walked forward. "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, Concubine Shu."

"Although there are many maids around His Majesty, the number brought here this time is limited, and there are even fewer who can serve closely. Even if you want to intervene in this matter, you must investigate it slowly and quietly."

"You, aren't you anxious at all?" Concubine Shu always felt that Su Minglang was too calm. She took two quick steps to catch up and asked, "Have you come up with a solution?"

"What can I do?" Su Minglang turned around and looked at her innocently. "Your Majesty already has so many sisters in the harem. It's just one more. What's the big deal?"

"Your Majesty will open the palace to select new people in the future anyway. Naturally, more people will enter the palace at that time. With new people replacing old ones, how can His Majesty remember a palace maid?"

"Your Majesty works hard every day, so there is nothing wrong with wanting to have some fun occasionally."

Su Minglang's tolerant, generous and nonchalant look made Concubine Shu feel suffocated. She couldn't help but wonder if Su Minglang had been with the Queen for too long and had caught the Queen's half-dead look.

When Concubine Shu thought that Su Minglang would also hold this string of Buddhist beads and kneel down in front of the Buddha statue with a calm expression and worship in the future, she felt goose bumps all over her body.

Su Minglang looked at the person in front of her, not knowing what he was thinking. Sometimes he frowned, and sometimes he shook his head frantically as if he was frightened. She was speechless. She no longer cared about Concubine Shu's inner world and walked forward on her own.

When Concubine Shu woke up from her imagination, she found that Su Minglang had gone far away without her knowing.

Concubine Shu stamped her feet angrily, and when she saw that she had no intention of waiting for her, she followed her unwillingly: "Hey! Don't be so presumptuous! When did I allow you to walk in front of me!"

"Hey! Su Minglang, wait for me!"

Su Minglang had not planned to wait for her, but as long as she did not stop, Concubine Shu kept shouting at her. It was unknown whether the sudden change made her unconsciously become close to Su Minglang, or whether she had a brain storm and did not care about her image for a moment. Anyway, she kept shouting at her loudest, forcing Su Minglang to stop for the sake of her face.

When Concubine Shu saw Su Minglang stop, she snorted coldly, quickened her pace and jumped in front of her, and then walked away without waiting for her. Su Minglang could only follow behind her and looked away helplessly. The more she looked at Concubine Shu, the more she felt that something was wrong. However, a concubine who could be openly trapped in the bedroom by an outsider like her father must be very unwise. Thinking of her affectionate look towards Xiao Heng, Su Minglang suddenly had a doubt that she had chosen the wrong person.

As Concubine Shu was walking, she suddenly turned back to look at her. She saw Su Minglang looking distressed. She instantly felt that she was suppressed by her. A sense of satisfaction filled her heart, and the unhappiness just now disappeared in an instant. Concubine Shu felt as if she had regained her strength, and she quickened her pace and strode forward.
