The maidservant is too charming. I want to help her become the queen.

Everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Xian was investigating the palace costumes. When Furong heard that the letter was from Concubine Xian, she did not dare to delay for a moment and hurried to the palace to present it to Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu had just finished her rage and was now slumped dejectedly on the chaise longue, her mind in a mess.

When she saw Furong push the door open, she became even more furious. Without saying anything, she grabbed a porcelain bottle at hand and threw it at the door of the hall.

The sound of the porcelain bottle breaking was mixed with Concubine Shu's screams.

"Fleur! You're wings are hard now, aren't you?!"

"I told you to get out, and now you dare not listen to me?!"

Furong ignored Concubine Shu's rebuke, quickly closed the door and ran towards Concubine Shu.

"Your Majesty has wronged me. I am here to deliver a letter to you."

letter?

What letter?

On weekdays, Concubine Shu would only receive letters from her father Zhao Ning once a month.

Every time, Zhao Ning would remind Concubine Shu in his letters to serve the emperor well and consolidate her favor in the palace.

Every time Concubine Shu read the contents of the letter, she would be upset for a long time and would not want to read it again. Besides, it was not yet time for the monthly letter.

Who would write to themselves at this time?

The doubts in Concubine Shu's heart replaced her irritability and anxiety, and she calmed down instantly.

She took the letter from Furong and opened it slowly.

There were only five small words written on the letter: "A chat at Yanqing Palace."

As the envelope was opened, a small piece of dark purple cloth fell out.

Concubine Shu was startled, her face changed instantly, her hands holding the letter trembled uncontrollably, and the piece of cloth slipped down onto her dress.

She shook the cloth from her dress onto the ground as if she was avoiding the plague, her eyes full of fear. She stuffed the letter into Furong's hands, and her voice was filled with tears as she begged for help.

"Furong, look! What does Concubine Xian mean by this?"

"Has she found out? What should I do?!"

At this moment, Concubine Shu was crying loudly at Furong, like an ignorant child.

She has been arrogant since she was a child and is used to others cleaning up the mess she makes.

Before she got married, her father Zhao Ning helped her clean up all the troubles she caused.

Now that we are in the palace, all matters, big or small, depend on Furong.

After reading the letter, Furong roughly understood what Concubine Xian meant.

Since Concubine Xian sent this piece of dark purple fabric, it was implying that she already knew that Concubine Shu was the one who made the palace costume.

If she really wanted to expose it, she could just report it to the emperor.

But today, I went through so much trouble to write a letter to invite Concubine Shu to have a chat.

It seems that this matter will definitely take a turn for the better!

Furong gently held Shufei's trembling hands, her smiling face and firm eyes met Shufei's panicked gaze.

"I have always said that Your Majesty is blessed by heaven!"

"It seems that Concubine Xian has already thought of a solution for us regarding the palace dress issue!"

The tears in Concubine Shu's eyes had not yet dried, her eyes were red, and she looked confused.

Although she didn't understand what the countermeasures were in Furong's words, when she heard Furong say that good things will come to those who are lucky, she knew that she didn't have to worry about the matter.

Whenever she got into trouble in the past, Furong would persuade her like this, and things would always end up being resolved perfectly.

I guess it should work this time!

Furong carefully wiped away the tears on Concubine Shu's face with a silk handkerchief.

She struck while the iron was hot and advised Concubine Shu that she should visit Concubine Xian as soon as possible, and hurriedly helped Concubine Shu to wash and dress up.

Although Shufei was extremely unhappy, after all, she had never been to Yanqing Palace. In the past, only Xianfei visited her in Xianfu Palace. But now that Xianfei had the upper hand over her, she had no choice but to bow her head.

However, when she arrived at Concubine Xian's palace, she had not yet thought about what to say.

Shufei has always only acted like a spoiled child in front of Li Xuansheng, and now that she is asked to ask Xianfei for help, she really doesn't know how to start.

After all, on weekdays, Concubine Shu was always sarcastic and mocking when she met other concubines in the palace, and even the queen was no exception.

Concubine Shu stared at herself in the mirror in a daze, grabbed Furong's hand as she was dressing her, and said with a worried look on her face:

"But Furong, I don't know what to say when I see Concubine Xian later..."

Furong smiled calmly, stopped tying up Concubine Shu's hair, and comforted her quietly.

"Don't worry, Madam. I will help you."

soon.

Shufei and her entourage arrived at Xianfei's palace.

As if the virtuous concubine had anticipated this, she had already sat in the main hall and had ordered the palace servants to prepare scented tea and snacks in advance.

When she saw Concubine Shu being escorted by palace servants into the palace, before she even performed the greetings, she smiled and asked:

"How is your Majesty, Concubine Shu? It's been a long time since we last met on the birthday of Emperor Wanshou. Are you doing well?"

There was something dagger hidden in Concubine Xian's words.

On the surface, he was greeting Concubine Shu, but now Concubine Shu was deeply involved in the palace dress case, which sounded quite ironic.

Although Concubine Shu came here today to ask Concubine Xian for a favor, she was too lazy to put on a good face and said to Concubine Xian with a sour face:

"Humph, I never thought that Concubine Xian would care about me so much. Thank you so much!"

After saying that, Concubine Shu threw the letter she had been holding onto the ground fiercely, and the letter paper and cloth in the envelope immediately scattered all over the floor.

Concubine Shu pointed at the mess on the ground with an arrogant look on her face.

"Xian Fei, what is your intention in sending these things to my palace?!"

Faced with Shufei's accusations, Xianfei was not angry but smiled indifferently.

She winked at Yuzhu beside her.

Yuzhu immediately understood what Concubine Xian meant and sent the other palace maids away.

Only two ladies and their personal maids were left in the palace.

After clearing the scene, Concubine Xian said:

"My Lady Shufei, I have found out that the matter of the palace costumes was your work."

When Concubine Shu heard what Concubine Xian said, even though she was prepared in her heart, a look of panic still flashed across Concubine Xian's face.

Her fingers hidden in her sleeves were pressed tightly against her knuckles, and her fingertips had turned slightly white.

But Concubine Shu did not speak, instead her maid Furong replied to Concubine Xian on her behalf.

Furong bowed respectfully, "My Lady Concubine, since you have sent the letter, why don't we be frank and not beat around the bush? Do you have any idea about resolving the issue of the palace dress?"

Furong's response was generous and appropriate, and Concubine Xian couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

I had only heard in the past that Furong was like the military advisor behind Concubine Shu, and today I see that the rumors are indeed true.

Now that the matter has been laid out in the open, Concubine Xian no longer hesitates and reveals the entire plan.

"Madam Shufei, you and I are both old friends in the palace, and I don't want to be your enemy over the palace costumes."

"It's just that I have discovered the clues in the clothing bureau."

"The current strategy is that you just need to transfer this clue to someone else, and I can pretend that I don't know. Then whoever I find out about it will be held responsible."

When Concubine Shu heard this, she was secretly delighted.

Although she didn't know that Concubine Xian was going to help her, since Concubine Xian had given in today, she was just looking for a scapegoat.

When Concubine Shu was about to thank Concubine Xian, she was stopped by Furong who was beside her.

Compared to Concubine Shu, Furong understands the interests involved better.

It is impossible for Concubine Xian to be so magnanimous and give Concubine Shu this favor so easily. Since she said so, she must have already thought of someone to frame in advance.

It's just that Concubine Xian is unwilling to do such a dirty job as putting the blame on others herself, so today's favor is to let Concubine Shu do it for her!

Furong said decisively:

"I think the Virtuous Consort has already chosen someone. Just tell me, and the Shu Consort and I will do our best to do it."

The virtuous concubine curled her lips and smiled. It was easy to talk to a smart person, and Furong understood immediately.

She sat upright in the hall and slowly spoke out the man's name.

"Concubine Zhuang, Zhou Shunyi."
