This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

After returning to the shore by boat, Su Peisheng wanted to send the emperor back to the Yangxin Palace in a sedan chair, but the emperor said, "Let's not go back to the Yangxin Palace yet."

Su Peisheng asked the emperor: "Then your Majesty, shall we go...?"

The emperor remained silent.

Su Peisheng understood: "Go to Suiyuxuan."

Sister Mei returned to the shore a step late. Seeing the emperor's dragon chariot heading towards Shuiyuxuan, she asked someone to follow quietly behind him.

As expected, the emperor's sedan chair arrived at the door of Suiyuxuan. The servants lowered the sedan chair, but the emperor sat on it for a long time and refused to get down.

Su Peisheng hunched over, turned his head slightly, and asked the emperor tentatively, "Your Majesty? Has Suiyuxuan arrived?"

"Let's go back to... the Yangxin Palace."

Su Peisheng: "Let's get going."

Su Peisheng: You and Wanpin are in a cold war here, and you are dragging a group of us servants to suffer with you all day long.

Concubine Hui watched the emperor's sedan chair pass by the door of Suiyuxuan at the corner of the long street without entering. She waited until the emperor was far away before Shen Meizhuang brought the servant into Suiyuxuan.

On Concubine Hua's side, she was riding in a sedan chair on her way back to Yikun Palace. Seeing that there was no one around, she lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and asked:

"What happened when the palace maid fell into the water just now?"

"I don't know either. Zhou Ninghai just gave me a hint, saying that everything has been taken care of in Xiaolouzi. The maid chosen by the Queen for the Emperor should have been knocked unconscious as planned, but no one expected her to fall into the water." Songzhi said.

If someone who didn't know the situation didn't know that the palace maid who fell into the water in the distance was the woman originally chosen by the Queen for the Emperor, but Hua Fei and the others knew that the woman's service was different from that of ordinary palace maids. Others looking at her from afar would not care about her service at all.

But Concubine Hua knew something was wrong at first sight, and then Zhen Huan fell into the water. Everyone was in a panic, which gave the people on the shore time to rescue the woman.

Because of the accident of Zhen Huan falling into the water, what happened on the shore was revealed.

And Zhen Huan, she is such a grown-up, how could she fall into the water?

"Where are the people in Xiaolouzi?" asked Concubine Hua.

"Let's go and deal with that woman. Judging from the time, we should be able to deal with it after dinner tonight." Songzhi looked at the sun in the sky and said hurriedly.

"Go tell Zhou Ninghai to do things efficiently." Concubine Hua's eyes were filled with murderous intent and her words were harsh.

Songzhi responded hastily, walked quickly forward, and informed Zhou Ninghai, who was walking in the lead, to go and instruct his apprentice Xiaolouzi.

After Songzhi's reminder, Zhou Ninghai looked around, quietly left Hua Fei's guard of honor, and disappeared to another place.

Concubine Hua and her entourage returned to the palace safely.

An Lingrong and Concubine Qi were directly kept by the Queen.

After everyone left, the Queen's smiling face suddenly turned as cold as ice. Concubine Qi and An Lingrong looked at each other and lowered their heads in silence.

The three of them returned to the main hall of Jingren Palace together.

The Queen snorted coldly:

"These two good dogs I raised actually teamed up to plot against me!"

The queen was so angry that she suddenly smashed the teacup on the small table to pieces.

Concubine Qi and An Lingrong didn't care about the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and knelt down immediately.

"Noble Lady An, I just promoted you to Noble Lady in front of the Emperor. Is this how you repay me?" The Queen lifted An Lingrong's chin and forced her to look directly at her.

"Your Majesty, the Empress and Concubine Qi are forcing me to do what I want. My mother wrote to me saying that there is a cure for my father's illness, but many of the medicines are rare and expensive. We don't have enough money at home, but that's all I have in my monthly allowance, and I have to set aside some for the palace maids.

Your Majesty, you also know that life in the harem requires taking care of everything. My family has no power and my father is a criminal. If I hadn't saved money and taken care of those palace servants, I would not have had a good life.

My family also needs money to treat my father's illness. I really don't have that much money. Sister Qifei gave me some money and asked me to help her just this once. I was confused for a moment. I beg your forgiveness. I will never do it again."

The more An Lingrong spoke, the more bitter she felt. She cried like a pear blossom in the rain, tears streaming down her face. Even though the Queen was angry, she couldn't say anything. After all, even if the Emperor had given her countless rewards, they were all registered, and it was impossible for a concubine to ask someone to take them out of the palace to exchange for money.

"If you don't have money, you can come to me and ask for it. When have I not given you what you want?"

"I have noticed that Your Majesty lives a very simple life. I was really confused for a moment, really confused!" An Lingrong cried even harder.

When the Queen heard An Lingrong's reason, she was speechless for a moment. Thinking of the example she had set for the harem, she could only grit her teeth and accept it.

She certainly doesn't give people the impression of being as wealthy as Concubine Hua.

Especially An Bihuai's knife, which was originally a weapon she used to restrain An Lingrong, but she didn't expect that it would stab herself now.

The Queen left An Lingrong crying with her face covered, and turned to Concubine Qi and rebuked her:

"And Concubine Qi, I never thought that you, who have been by my side for so many years, could still trick me. Concubine Qi, if you want the Third Prince back, just tell me directly. How can I not give it to you? It's hard for you to go to so much trouble." The Queen's tone was as cold as a knife, as if she could insert the sharp blade into Concubine Qi's chest in the next second.

"Your Majesty has misunderstood me. In fact, over the years, I have seen the sisters in the palace, one beautiful girl after another. When I think of the friendship between me and the emperor in the past, I sometimes feel sad. My beauty has faded and my love has waned, and I also want to see if there is still a place for me in the emperor's heart." Concubine Qi became more and more pitiful as she spoke, and she felt extremely wronged.

"Today, I did not ask for the Third Prince. The Third Prince is being raised by the Empress. I am completely relieved. Since the Emperor said so today, I cannot refuse."

"Hmph, after all, you still think you're right!" Concubine Qi was still willing to submit in front of her, and the Queen didn't want to break up with her at this moment.

What's more, Concubine Qi holds the Third Prince in her hands.

"You are my person anyway, and it is good for me if you are favored. But you must remember this: whether you or the Third Prince, you must stand on my side."

"I have always kept this in mind. It was my fault for replacing the maid that Your Majesty carefully arranged."

As for that woman, I have already arranged for someone to send her out of the palace. I think the existence of that woman is inappropriate for you, Your Majesty, right?

If she appears before the emperor again, then what you said to him today, Your Majesty, would be deceiving the emperor.

"Concubine Qi, are you threatening me?"
