Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

After closing the door, Ji Anni leaned against the door, unable to move, and stood there for several seconds before she finally realized what she had just done. She actually threw Concubine An out, just like throwing away garbage, and threw Concubine An out of this right courtyard.

Oh my god... This is undoubtedly more explosive news than her falling off the horse. It will surely spread throughout the palace in less than half a day, right? Concubine An will definitely not give up. When she thought of the revenge plan that the other party might carry out, Ji Anni felt cold sweats.

When she looked up, she found that all the palace maids in the yard were staring at her in amazement.

Die'er had gotten up from the ground without knowing when, ran to Ji Anni's side, and tightly grasped the corner of her clothes. Die'er was speechless, and only looked at her with worried and frightened eyes.

"It's okay, don't be afraid." Although Ji Anni was also very panicked, she still forced a smile to comfort Die'er.

Die'er had tears in her eyes. She held Ji Anni's hand tightly and knelt down in front of her.

Ji Anni was startled and hurriedly helped her up, asking in panic, "Die'er, what's wrong? Don't cry first, what happened?"

Ji Anni was most afraid of seeing other people's tears. Whenever she saw someone crying in front of her, she would immediately panic, be at a loss, and not know what to do.

Die'er knelt on the ground and refused to get up no matter how hard Ji Anni pulled her. She kept making "ah ah" sounds, and no one knew what she wanted to say.

Die'er was speechless, and Ji Anni became anxious and asked her if she could write. But Die'er kept shaking her head. Suddenly, Die'er pushed Ji Anni away with a palm, knelt down about two or three steps away from Ji Anni, and kowtowed several times, causing blood to flow from her forehead.

Ji Anni was so frightened by her sudden action that she was stunned for several seconds. When she just reacted, she saw Die'er rushing towards the stone pillar beside the door!

"No!" Ji Anni screamed in fear, rushed forward and held Die'er's hand tightly.

This stopped Dier from committing suicide by banging her head against the pillar.

"Oh my God..." Ji Anni held Die'er tightly in her arms, fearing that if she let go, Die'er would rush out and seek death again. "Oh my God... Die'er, what's wrong with you? Why do you want to die?... The one who should feel guilty, blame herself, and be punished by God should be Concubine An, not you... Die'er, you are not the one who should die..."

Die'er was hugged tightly by Ji Anni. After struggling for a few times and failing to break free, she lost some strength and buried her head in Ji Anni's arms and started crying. She shook her head while crying, but she could only shake her head and could not speak. It was unknown what she wanted to deny.

Seeing her like this, Ji Anni felt very distressed. She patted her back gently and comforted her, "Die'er, calm down first... Let's go back to the house first. I'll ask the maid to get you a doctor to treat the burn on your mouth..."

Die'er's tears flowed faster after hearing this, and she was about to become a tearful person. She pushed Ji Anni away slightly and fell to the ground, as if she wanted to kowtow to Ji Anni again.

Ji Anni hurriedly hugged her, took out a silk handkerchief, wiped the faint blood from the wound on her forehead, and said, "Die'er, what happened to you? Don't cry first... Don't cry first..."

But the more Ji Anni persuaded her, the harder Die'er cried.

The other maids also put down their work and stared at Ji Anni and Die'er. This was probably the first time since they entered the palace that they saw the imperial concubine quarreling with the imperial concubine over a maid, and even hugging the maid to comfort her, right?

At this moment, a voice came from the door: "My lady, I am late."

When Ji Anni heard the voice, she looked up suddenly and saw Hua Rong standing at the door.

Hua Rong's eyes quickly swept across Die'er's face, without showing too much surprise, and she only said to Ji Anni lightly: "I congratulate the queen on her promotion to the imperial concubine, and I wish the queen will be able to rise to the top in the future."

Isn't this the time to talk about congratulations? Ji Anni hugged Die'er, who was sobbing, and glared at Hua Rong. There was a hint of condemnation in her eyes. She condemned Hua Rong for not being moved by Die'er's crying and for calmly congratulating her on her promotion.

But Hua Rong remained calm and slowly shifted her gaze from Ji Anni to the other palace maids in the courtyard.

The maids obviously recognized Hua Rong and knew that she was a maid who had served Princess Tianning, so they seemed a little afraid of her. Wherever Hua Rong's eyes swept, the maids there immediately lowered their heads and continued to work. After Hua Rong's eyes swept around the courtyard, no maid dared to look in the direction of Ji Anni and Die'er. They all buried their heads and obediently did their cleaning work.

At this time, Hua Rong helped Ji Anni up and said, "My queen, there are too many people here, why don't we go inside and talk slowly. I saw everything that happened just now, my queen... Die'er wanted to commit suicide because you, my queen, cut off her chance of survival."

"What?" Ji Anni was shocked and looked at Huarong in confusion.

Huarong looked at Ji Anni with a smile, but did not say anything. However, that meaningful look seemed to say: Your Majesty, please follow me first.

Ji Anni felt dizzy. Seeing Huarong leading the way in front, she subconsciously held Die'er and followed.

Hua Rong led them to a small room in the right courtyard. There were tables, chairs, benches, cabinets and beds in the room, which looked like a guest bedroom. Ji Anni pulled Die'er to sit on a soft chair, while she stood aside. Die'er was just a palace maid, so of course she didn't dare to let the imperial concubine stand while she sat. She tried to stand up several times, but was pushed back to the chair by Ji Anni.

At this time, Hua Rong had closed the door and came to them, saying, "Your Highness, you have offended Concubine An today. Concubine An will definitely not let it go. She dare not touch you for the time being, but she is angry and will definitely vent all her anger on the servants. Your Highness, I know that your Highness has good intentions to save Die'er, but do you know that it is because of your lack of calmness that Die'er may be in danger of her life?"

Hua Rong's words deeply pierced Ji Anni's heart. She admitted that she was too impatient at the time, but she never expected that the consequence of her impatient behavior would put Die'er in danger.

Ji Anni held Die'er's hand tightly. She felt that there was no warmth on Die'er's hand, only a thin layer of cold sweat.

Hua Rong continued, "Your Highness, Die'er kowtowed to you just now because she was grateful to you for protecting her. But in addition to being grateful, she also understood that if Concubine An took revenge, she would not be able to escape death. Rather than living in pain, it is better to end her life by herself - this is why Die'er wanted to commit suicide by hitting the pillar just now. Your Highness, this is not the way to save people. Your impulsiveness cannot save anyone. Not only can your reckless behavior not save them, but it will kill them. Your Highness, you should be self-disciplined...but why don't you understand?"
