Seeing her like this, Hua Shu couldn't help laughing out loud: "My meaning is very simple, even if Yun Cairen is gone, there will be other talented people. We can't just get rid of one for every one around the emperor."

After listening to this, Concubine Li Shu was silent for a moment and said, "Ke Yuncai looks a lot like the queen. The emperor was very obsessed with the queen at the beginning."

Hua Shu smiled playfully: "Sister also said it was like that in the past, look at the emperor's attitude towards the queen now."

Concubine Li frowned, as if the emperor had not been as kind to the empress as before since a long time ago.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Hua Shu continued, "Since ancient times, people only see the new people laughing and don't listen to the old people crying. What's more, the emperor is still the emperor, and besides..."

She paused, looking at Concubine Li Shu's mysterious smile, "Besides, the Queen is not anxious when she sees the Emperor favoring someone who looks like her, so why should we be anxious?"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Li Shu immediately understood what she meant. She smiled and said, "It's me who is meddling in other people's business."

Hua Shu smiled but said nothing. The reason why she reminded Concubine Li Shu now was because she was still of use to her, not because she was being kind.

The two of them talked for a while before Concubine Li Shu left with her people.

Hua Shu looked at her back, a playful smile on his lips.

Concubine Li Shufei left Chuxiu Palace and walked towards Yanqing Palace. Unexpectedly, when she was halfway there, a man blocked her way.

"Madam Shupin, the Queen invites you to Chonghua Palace."

Seeing that the person coming was Fuxiang, the senior maid beside the queen, Concubine Li Shu was silent for a moment and said, "I feel a little unwell. I need to go back to Yanqing Palace to rest. I will come over when I feel better."

After saying that, she walked past Fuxiang and continued walking towards Yanqing Palace.

Unexpectedly, just as he passed Fuxiang, Fuxiang lowered her voice and said something quickly.

After hearing what she said, Concubine Li Shu's face instantly turned cold. She turned around, raised her hand and slapped Fu Xiang hard, saying angrily, "How dare you!"

Fuxiang knelt in front of her and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "This servant is only conveying the words of the Empress. Please don't embarrass this servant, Empress Shupin."

Concubine Li clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, her nails digging deeply into her palms. She really wanted to have the palace maid dragged down and beaten to death with sticks.

But thinking of what she had just said, she calmed down again and walked towards Chonghua Palace.

Seeing her heading towards Chonghua Palace, Fuxiang also stood up and followed her. When she looked at Concubine Li Shufei, a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.

Here, Hua Shu was dozing off on the chaise longue. Rendong, who had just returned from delivering medicine to Concubine Fu, hurried into the room.

"master."

Hua Shu opened her eyes and asked, "How is the imperial concubine?"

Honeysuckle stepped forward and said, "My lord, the imperial concubine just forgot to close the window when she went to bed at night and caught a cold. She is not seriously ill."

Hua Shu nodded and closed her eyes again.

At this time, Ren Dong said, "Master, on the way back, I saw Fuxiang, the maidservant beside Concubine Shu and the Queen."

Hua Shu opened her eyes again after hearing this. How did these two people get together?

She sat up straight and asked curiously, "Did you hear what they said?"

Ren Dong shook her head and said, "I was far away and didn't hear clearly what they said, but I saw Shupin slap Fuxiang, and then they went to Chonghua Palace."

Hua Shu frowned slightly. If she guessed correctly, Fuxiang was the senior maid beside the Queen. If Concubine Li Shu hit her, wouldn't it be the same as hitting the Queen in the face? Could she be having a seizure?

After thinking for a moment, she figured it out. Maybe Fuxiang did something to make Concubine Li angry, so she hit her.

Otherwise, Concubine Li Shu would not have rushed to offend the Queen. After all, even if the Queen did not win the emperor's favor, she was still the master of the six palaces.

Suddenly thinking of something, Hua Shu curled up a surprised smile on her lips. She called Rendong to her side and spoke a few words to her in a low voice.

After hearing this, Honeysuckle couldn't help but laugh: "I will do it right away."

Hua Shu smiled and nodded, then closed her eyes again.

……

At the same time, in a courtyard in the capital,

Xiao Juzhu was playing chess with a masked man. He looked at the white pieces on the chessboard, which clearly had the upper hand, and said with a smile, "I lost this game."

The masked man put down the white piece in his hand and said with a smile: "How can you win if your mind is not on the chessboard?"

Xiao Juzhu took a sip of the tea in front of him and said, "No, it's true that I'm not as skilled as others."

Hearing this, the masked man just smiled and said nothing. He had played chess with Xiao Juzhu before and knew that his chess skills were better than his. The reason he lost today was because his heart was not here.

Xiao Juzhu was about to say something with a smile, when suddenly a man in black half-knelt in front of him, raised a letter above his head and said, "Master, there is news from the palace."

Xiao Juzhu reached out and took the letter from his hand. After opening it and reading it carefully, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Now even the sickly Chu Yunfeng has shown up, this matter is becoming more and more interesting.

But why did Chu Yunfeng go to Chuxiu Palace? Could it be that he has something to do with Hua Shu?

Seeing this, the masked man took the letter from his hand and read it, then said, "If I remember correctly, the Sixth Prince in the letter is Chu Yunfeng."

Xiao Juzhu nodded and said, "Yes, it's him."

The masked man placed the letter on the chessboard and asked in confusion, "According to the letter, Chu Yunfeng is an assassin. Why did the emperor say that he was meritorious in protecting the emperor?"

Xiao Juzhu chuckled and said, "Maybe it's because of blood relationship."

The masked man was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then sneered: "How can people in the royal family be blood relatives?"

After hearing his words, Xiao Juzhu just smiled and did not respond.

The masked man didn't care. He asked again: "The letter said that he was captured in Chuxiu Palace and injured Hua Shu. The emperor didn't blame him, which shows that he doesn't care much about Hua Shu."

Xiao Juzhu smiled and said, "No matter how much you love a woman, she is still just a woman. If you lose her, you can always find another one. But a son is your own blood. If he is gone, he is really gone."

The masked man couldn't help but sighed: "You are a heartless person at first glance."

Xiao Juzhu chuckled and said, "What you said is true. I don't even have a woman by my side. How can I be said to be heartless and ungrateful?"

After hearing what he said, the masked man took out a bottle from his arms and handed it to him, smiling playfully: "Come on, do you really think I don't know that you are obsessed with your cousin..."

Xiao Juzhu took the bottle he handed over with a smile and asked curiously, "What is this?"

The masked man smiled and said, "You'd better be careful with the love poison you asked for. I spent a lot of effort to get it."

Xiao Juzhu couldn't hide the smile in his eyes when he heard this: "Thank you."

The masked man looked at him and couldn't help asking, "When are you going to give your cousin a love spell?"
