"Wu Zhaoyi! I didn't mean it! I really didn't expect it!"

"Wu Zhaoyi, think about it. The emperor has stayed in your Ruyi Palace for two consecutive nights, and he called for water so many times at night. Four times in total. Looking at the entire harem, even Concubine Xia, who was deeply favored by the emperor in Weiyang Palace and the most favored concubine in the six palaces, did not say that she called for water four times at night when she was favored by the emperor."

"From this alone, we can see how important your position in the emperor's heart is."

"I believe that in that situation, let alone me, I'm afraid anyone would have the same idea as me. I just feel that the emperor cares so much about you, Wu Zhaoyi, why do you have to go to such lengths and listen to the queen's words..."

"Besides, the Queen has just entered the palace, and Wu Zhaoyi has only known the Queen for a short time. I am afraid that you, Wu Zhaoyi, are simple-minded and can be easily taken advantage of. What if you are taken advantage of by the Queen without knowing it, and finally feel grateful to her? Wu Zhaoyi, I have been with you for so many years, and I don't need to say much to know how loyal I have been to you. Even if I said those words, it was all for your own good."

If any other woman in the harem said this, Wu Qingying might not believe it.

But if these words came from Zhang Ying's mouth, it was obvious that Wu Qingying believed them without a doubt.

Not to mention that Zhang Ying has been with her for so many years. Secondly, Zhang Ying's family is just a small official in Damu, who is not even qualified to see the emperor.

The reason why she was sent to the palace was entirely because she was somewhat good-looking in their area.

It's just that Zhang Ying's looks can only rank among them. But in the harem full of beauties, let alone ranking, there are countless concubines more beautiful than her. Any one of them would be many times more beautiful than her.

As for the two times that Zhang Ying was favored by the emperor, it was not because of her beauty, but because of her own intelligence and wisdom.

but--

There are also many intelligent women in the harem.

The reason why Wu Zhaoyi was not worried at all that Zhang Ying would betray her or rely on her to get to the throne was simply because the emperor never paid any attention to her. Even if he could favor her once or twice occasionally, for Wu Qingying, that was only occasionally, and Zhang Ying would never become a stumbling block to him.

Over the years, Zhang Ying has relied on herself to become very successful in the harem, and no one dares to bully her.

Even the second-rank concubine would not make things too difficult for her because she was theirs.

Zhang Ying has received countless benefits from me over the years. Unless Zhang Ying was kicked in the head by a donkey, she would not think of betraying me.

So even if Zhang Ying didn't come to Ruyi Palace and kneel down and cry in front of her today, Wu Qingying didn't intend to cause her much trouble.

Not to mention now, seeing Zhang Ying crying bitterly, with a look of remorse and fear on her face.

Wu Qingying finally sighed helplessly: "Forget it, get up."

Hearing this, Zhang Ying's face lit up with joy, but she still knelt on the ground with a look of fear: "Wu Zhaoyi, you...you forgive me and don't blame me anymore?"

Hearing this, Wu Qingying couldn't help but roll her eyes at her: "What else? Do you think I have to beat you to death to vent my anger?"

She knew that Zhang Ying had good intentions and was loyal to her. She had seen it all these years. Otherwise, she would have ordered people to drag Zhang Ying away and beat her to death after what happened yesterday.

"But it's strange."

As she spoke, Wu Qingying sat down with Yue'er's help, and her eyes fell on Zhang Ying at this moment: "Noble Lady Zhang, tell me. You said that I did that yesterday. I'm afraid that anyone would feel alienated and uncomfortable. When I went to Kunning Palace to apologize to the Queen today, what do you think the Queen did to me?"

Zhang Ying really didn’t know this.

Because today she didn't care where Wu Qingying went or what she was doing.

Her whole mind was now focused on what she should say to make Wu Qingying calm down when Wu Zhaoyi came back.

Especially after hearing that Wu Qingying went to Kunning Palace early in the morning, Zhang Ying became even more uneasy and frightened.

If the Queen ignored Wu Zhaoyi or was sarcastic to her, when Wu Zhaoyi came back, all the blame would be on her.

But contrary to Zhang Ying's expectations, Wu Zhaoyi's anger and venting were much smaller than she had imagined?

Not just small, but nonexistent?

She thought that she would have to kneel on the ground and repent for a long time in front of Wu Zhaoyi before Wu Zhaoyi would forgive her, but what she didn't expect was that she had just started, and there were still many things she hadn't had time to say to Wu Qingying, but she just forgave herself like that?

I heard Wu Qingying take the initiative to talk to me about the Queen.

Zhang Ying was curious, so she followed her words and asked, "What did the Queen say to Wu Zhaoyi? Did she cause trouble for you, Wu Zhaoyi, for what happened yesterday?"

Hearing this, Wu Qingying shook her head, then she thought of something and nodded, "It should be that they caused some trouble, just making me stand outside the Kunning Palace for a while longer, but there is nothing else."

However, Wu Qingying deserved it for standing outside the Kunning Palace for a while longer.

Yes, that’s right, Wu Qingying really deserved it, and she admitted it.

After all, the Queen had high hopes for her and always thought of her for everything, especially the matter of being favored by the Emperor. To be honest, if it weren't for the Queen's help, she probably wouldn't know where she would have been abandoned by the Emperor until now.

Not only did she not feel grateful to the queen, she even doubted the queen's intentions.

Thinking of this, Wu Qingying couldn't help but get angry and glared at Zhang Ying fiercely.

Feeling that Wu Qingying's anger was vented on her again, Zhang Ying quickly lowered her head in fear, knowing that she had caused a big trouble with Wu Qingying.

"After the Queen allowed me to enter, she didn't say anything to me and just asked me to taste the tea. I don't know how many varieties of tea I have tasted while she was with me."

During this period, Wu Qingying wanted to apologize to Yu Huan for what happened yesterday, but Yu Huan did not give her this opportunity at all. Not only did he not give her this opportunity, he did not even give her the chance to speak.

"Tea?"

Wu Qingying’s words made Zhang Ying stunned and she looked at her.

"Yes."

Wu Qingying nodded, then waved to Yue'er beside her.

Then Yue'er showed Zhang Ying a box of tea she brought back from Kunning Palace.
