If not abolished

"Miss, how come you are in such a state after going out? Come in quickly." As soon as Sun Ruoji walked into Yikun Palace, the nanny was amazed when she saw her like this.

"I accidentally fell." Sun Ruoji explained.

After a lot of trouble, Sun Ruoji finally cleaned the mud from her hair. "Don't catch a cold, girl. Come and have a bowl of ginger soup."

"Yeah, thank you."

"My lady, Miss Sun is back."

"How is it?"

"Lin Cairen and Xue Baolin fought and pushed the person into the mud in the pond. She was supposed to be in great trouble, but unexpectedly, His Highness Qi suddenly came out to save her." Yunqi recounted what happened in the afternoon.

"Your Highness Qi? I'm afraid someone led him there? If that's the case, I'll have to go and show some concern for him." Concubine Wang said and walked out.

"The royal concubine has arrived."

"See the Imperial Concubine."

"Good boy, get up quickly. I just heard about you. What happened?" Concubine Wang asked with concern.

Sun Ruoji lowered her head and said, "I was going to the Imperial Garden to pick some flower petals for Your Majesty, but I accidentally fell."

"I heard that Concubine Lin and the others bullied you. If it is true, you must not be afraid. If someone really bullies you, you must tell me and I will seek justice for you." Concubine Wang said indignantly.

"No, no, Concubine Lin and the others saw me fall, and asked people to help me. How could you two noble ladies bully me? Your Majesty, you know clearly." Sun Ruoji immediately looked up and shook his head repeatedly to deny it.

Noble Concubine Wang didn't know what to say when she heard this. "Since you've said that, I won't pursue the matter any further. As I said before, if you have any grievances, please tell me. I will definitely help you."

"Thank you, my lady. I will do it."

"Then you have a good rest. I will leave first."

"Congratulations, my dear wife."

After Concubine Wang came out, she said, "This little girl is quite sensible."

“I don’t quite understand. With you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as her backers, why doesn’t Miss Sun tell the truth and just suffer through it?” Yunqi asked in confusion.

Concubine Wang looked at her and said, "She filed a complaint today. I can punish Lin Cairen and the others, but this feud has been established. I and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot protect her all the time. Unless she hides in Yikun Palace forever, Lin Cairen and the others will definitely take action as soon as they get the chance. If it happens too often, I can't ask me to deal with it every other day. So filing a complaint will not solve the problem, and it may even become a vicious cycle. She is just a little lady now, without any status, so why fight with those people. In this palace, the only way to avoid being bullied is to climb up and hold power in your own hands. She will understand it soon, and when she understands it, she will be eager for quick success and instant benefits, and then she will inevitably make mistakes. That is our goal."

"This Miss Sun is only eleven or twelve years old. Can she think of so many things?" Yunqi felt that such a young child might not have so many twists and turns.

"Do you know why Lin Cairen and the others are willing to deal with the Sun family?"

"Didn't you order me to do that, Madam?"

"I didn't give any orders, I just said that I knew no one would die."

"Could it be that Lin Cairen and the others have some personal grudge against this Miss Sun?"

"Originally there wasn't any. Do you remember how Concubine Lin and the others entered the palace?"

Speaking of this Yunqi really thought about it carefully, "I heard that it was sent to the palace by the uncle of the emperor. It seems that there was a group of people at that time."

"Yes, that group of people were originally specially trained by the Pengcheng Earl's Mansion for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Later, something went wrong, so the Crown Prince sent them all to the palace. I heard that this Sun was among them, but she suddenly fell ill and escaped. Do you think this was an accident? Or was it man-made?"

"You mean Miss Sun did it on purpose... But Miss Sun and Lin Cairen are old acquaintances. Logically, they should have a good relationship. How could there be any resentment?"

"Think about it, these people were supposed to enter the Eastern Palace, but ended up in His Majesty's harem. It sounds like they are blessed with wealth and status, but His Majesty is too old to have children. According to the ancestral system, concubines without children will be buried alive with His Majesty a hundred years later. Do you think Lin Cairen and the others are mentally balanced? They may be buried alive at a young age, but Sun escaped and was favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Her future is limitless. Who would be happy to see this? The better Sun lives, the more they hate her."

"So that's how it is." Yunqi suddenly realized.

"What surprises me is how Agui knew about Sun's existence so early and even started to plot against her?" Concubine Wang then figured it out. Two years ago, it was Agui who personally told the prince that the king's uncle had trained a group of girls and proposed to use them to fill the harem. Now that he thinks about it, he should have been targeting Sun at that time, but he didn't expect his plan to fail, so he started the subsequent plan.

"What did the queen say?" Concubine Wang's voice was a little soft and Yunqi didn't hear it clearly.

"nothing."

Chuxiu Palace

"Sister, sister, have you heard?" Chu Xuanying ran into the room happily, her tone extremely happy.

"Behave yourself, or the aunts will see you and punish you again." Cao Wanyi tapped her head.

"Sister, it hurts, hurry up, hurry up, ask me what's going on?" Chu Xuanying was waiting for her to ask, and then she let it out, looking at her expectantly.

Cao Wanyi deliberately said: "I'm not curious, you can tell me if you want."

"Sister, why are you like this? I was about to tell you, did you know? That Sun Ruoji fell into the pond in the Imperial Garden, hahahahahaha, did you know? He looked so miserable. It's a pity that I didn't see it, otherwise we would have laughed about it all day."

"Why would he fall into the pond for no reason?"

"I heard that he was going to pick flowers for the Imperial Concubine."

"At this season, the lotus flowers in the pond haven't bloomed yet. Why would he go to the pond? Was there anyone there at the time?" The more Cao Wanyi listened, the more she felt something was wrong.

"Then I don't know. Who else was there? Oh, I heard that the first people who found her were Lin Cairen and Xue Baolin, and they had someone rescue her. Oh, and His Highness Qi from the King of Han's family escorted her all the way back." Chu Xuanying, the gossip-monger, knew the entire incident clearly.

"That's it."

"Yes, sister, don't you think it's funny? Sun Ruoji saw a lot of people on her way back. She was really embarrassed this time." Chu Xuanying laughed again.

"Okay, you should also restrain yourself and stop spreading it. Trouble comes from the mouth." Cao Wanyi reminded her. Cao Wanyi felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed, but this was not something she should care about.

"I know, I know. You are the most cautious."
