As soon as Song Nanxiang walked out of Chengqian Palace, she was stopped by Eunuch Liu who followed her.

"Mrs. Song, please wait a moment. The sedan chair will be here soon."

Upon hearing this, Nanxiang looked at Eunuch Liu behind her with some surprise.

"Eunuch Liu, this is against the rules."

"When the emperor said he would give you a ride, isn't that what he meant?" Eunuch Liu smiled faintly, his attitude respectful as if he was deliberately trying to curry favor with Nan Xiang.

Nanxiang thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Why not take the sedan chair if there is one?

It is not a far distance from Chengqian Palace to Wangyueju.

The shoes worn by the imperial concubines were even more difficult to wear than modern high heels. After walking in them for a long time, the feet really couldn't bear it.

Caiyun, who was standing by, couldn't help but smile when she saw this.

"My Lord! The Emperor has finally remembered me. I am not far from being favored by the Emperor."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see the emperor's attitude towards Song Nanxiang. If she still couldn't see it, then she would have been with her for so long in vain.

After a while, a sedan chair was carried in, and Nanxiang sat on the hard-earned sedan chair as she wished.

This sedan chair is different from the one Su sat in. The one she sat in only had a place to sit, and was hollow all around. It was usually used to carry the emperor.

On the way back to Wangyueju, a few eunuchs in good shape carried the body quite steadily, and Nanxiang was very satisfied.

It would be nice if there was someone to carry me every time I go out.

On the way back to the palace, Nanxiang thought a lot.

There are still many doubts about Xiang Yihan's case. It is very likely that the emperor was concerned about the prime minister's face and only demoted Xiang Yihan to a concubine and imprisoned him.

Of course, Xiang Yihan’s loss this time was huge.

The emperor has already formed a fixed impression of her, and it would be difficult for her to sleep with him in the future.

However, what worries Nanxiang the most is the mastermind behind this, whose methods are really too clever.

This matter seemed to be under her control.

……

Chaoyang Palace.

After Concubine Huang returned to the palace, she heard the news that the emperor had sent Song Nanxiang back to his bedroom in a ceremonial sedan chair.

"Master! The Emperor is so good to Concubine Song. You have never been treated like this." The maid Chunxiang spoke up for her master.

"She deserves it. She is one of the few smart people in the palace." Huang smiled softly, not taking the matter to heart at all.

"Don't worry, you will get all these favors in the future."

"I believe you." Chunxiang said lightly.

……

Jingren Palace.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Concubine Song will soon receive the emperor's favor." Caizhi said.

"Isn't it a matter of time? She is not an easy person to be ignored." Chen smiled faintly, as if she had expected it.

"The emperor hasn't come for a long time. He doesn't even come on the regular 16th day." Caizhi said with a somewhat aggrieved tone.

Although she was the queen's personal maid, she was not favored by the emperor as a queen. She was gossiped about by countless palace maids and eunuchs in private, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

The attitude of those palace maids and eunuchs towards her was much worse than that of Ningxiang, who was beside the imperial concubine.

I really don’t know who is the personal maid of the master in the harem.

……

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

After Gu Junshen returned to the palace, he looked at the memorial.

I have been so worried about the princess today that I forgot something as important as this memorial.

I'm afraid I'll have to be busy tonight.

Gu Junshen, who was reading the memorial, suddenly thought of something and said to Eunuch Liu at the door, "Liu Sheng!"

"Your servant pays respect to His Majesty!" Eunuch Liu bowed and saluted.

"There are still many doubts about Xiang's promise. Send someone to check the identities of the two servants, and also check the Imperial Medical Clinic privately." Gu Junshen's eyes became as dark as ink.

In fact, he didn't think Xiang Yihan was the murderer. He was not a fool and he would not make a decision as soon as he saw evidence.

The reason why he punished the person first was just to calm the mind of the mastermind behind the scenes, and then he planned to investigate the case secretly.

Besides, the prime minister has made a lot of contributions to the country after all, and Gu Junshen cannot treat his daughter carelessly.

"I obey your order!" said Eunuch Liu.

"By the way, isn't Concubine Song short of servants? Send someone to pick out a few clever ones. Then get some jewelry and fabrics from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and send them over." Gu Junshen suddenly thought of something and said.

Eunuch Liu smiled slightly and said, "I obey your order."

He had long guessed that this Song Changzai would definitely receive the emperor's favor in the future.

He had followed Gu Junshen since he was still a prince, so he could figure out some of his preferences.

The emperor just likes pure styles!

The favor to the Imperial Concubine was only because she gave birth to the only child. Plus, there were few concubines in the harem, so the child had to go either to the Imperial Concubine or to the Queen.

……

Wangyueju.

Song Nanxiang just arrived at the bedroom.

Kikuhei and Haruzuki were waiting outside the door.

"Greetings, young master!"

"Let's go into the inner hall first." Nanxiang said lightly with a smile.

Returning to the inner hall, Nan Xiang quickly took off her cloak and then sat down on the couch.

Although it was very unsightly, there were only her, Caiyun and Juping in the inner hall, and they were all family members, so there was no need for them to pretend to follow the rules.

"Caiyun, help me massage my feet." Nanxiang said.

"Okay, master!" Caiyun covered her mouth and chuckled, then squatted down and began to rub Nanxiang's calves.

"Kuping, is there anything to eat in the kitchen? I'm a little hungry." She looked up and said to Kikuing.

"Master! Chunyue made a lot of plum cakes today. I will go and get some for you now." Kikuhei smiled slightly when he heard this.

"Plum blossom cake? But it's made from the plum blossoms in the yard?"

"My Lord, yes. Originally Chunyue wanted to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but there are no sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in the heavy snow. There are only plum blossoms. But I think the cakes made with plum blossoms should taste good."

Hearing this, Nan Xiang became a little interested and said, "Get some over there."

In fact, she still felt a little touched by Xiao Linzi's betrayal. The person around her suddenly betrayed her one day, and this feeling of insecurity made her very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Haruzuki and Kikuhei are still good at the moment.

……

After what happened to Xiang Yihan, the harem became much quieter.

The next day, the emperor sent a few eunuchs and palace maids, as well as some jewelry and fabrics, under the pretext of compensating Nanxiang.

How could Nanxiang not guess what the emperor was thinking?

After receiving the compensation, he gave the new palace maids and eunuchs a warning.

Nanxiang saw that these people were all old people in the palace, and they were very experienced and smart in doing things.

She couldn't help but sigh, "This emperor is really thoughtful."

At the same time, she was thinking that her body was almost healed.

Previously, I wanted to temporarily avoid the attack, but I found that it was useless.

Anyone who wants to deal with you can find any excuse.

So three days later, Nanxiang dressed up and came to Jingren Palace to pay her respects to the Queen, and mentioned in passing that she had recovered.

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health."

After Nanxiang arrived at Jingren Palace, she soon met the queen.

"You look much better. Are you feeling better?" The Queen said with a smile as she looked at Nanxiang.

"I have recovered. I have come here specially to pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen!" Nan Xiang leaned over and whispered softly.

"Good good!"
