Dressed as a beauty to be selected, the game starts in hell mode!

The incident at Shouhuang Palace frightened Hongyaer and Huawu greatly, and they both chose to retreat to Yikun Palace and wait and see.

Anyway, there is no demonic aura on Hongyaer's body. Even if it triggered the restriction, Pei Xuan might not think it was a demon. He might think that some other cultivator had sneaked into the palace.

Sure enough, in the following days, the guards in the palace were much stricter than usual.

After finding out that an assassin had broken into the palace at night, Hong Yaer and Hua Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

God bless!

They actually dodged it!

That’s Pei Xuan!

Woohoo...

They are so lucky!

Hua Wu and Hong Yaer hugged each other, their faces full of relief.

Hongyaer even said that she would never go to Shouhuang Palace again, no matter how greedy she was.

Scared to death!

At this time, they didn't know it yet, and it was too early for them to be happy.

The martial law in the palace was finally ended after ten days, after several spies from other countries were caught.

Everyone in the harem was happy about the end of martial law, but what made them unhappy was that in addition to capturing some enemy spies, many palace maids who spread the rumor that Hua Wu was the female Silk Star were also captured. Although these people were not executed, they were all thrown into the Ministry of Punishment and were not allowed to leave for life!

The executor is the chief eunuch Qin Zhong!

Just because of spreading rumors about Concubine Ling, he was sent to the Ministry of Punishment to work day and night. This is more terrifying than death.

For a time, everyone in the harem felt insecure and no longer dared to talk about the matter of the female silk star recklessly.

The rumor that Ling Jieyu was a female silk star disappeared without a trace before it even reached the public, and there was no more ripples.

Even though the concubines in the harem were unwilling, they understood that Emperor Jinghong was warning them, so they could only stop adding fuel to the fire.

Hehuan Palace.

"Humph!"

Upon hearing the news, Concubine Yu angrily threw away the half-peeled tangerine that was a tribute from Huzhou.

"Back then, you were trapped by the rumors about the female silk star. If the emperor had acted so quickly, how could your rumors have spread throughout the country?!"

"When he got to that Concubine Ling, the Emperor was furious."

She took so much trouble to direct the dirty water to Concubine Ling, but in the end the emperor resolved it in just a few moves. Concubine Yu felt very unwilling.

Wasn't that Concubine Ling the shield that the Emperor found for the Imperial Concubine?

Why did the emperor take action to quell the rumors?

If the rumor about the female silk star is pinned on Ling Jieyu, the imperial concubine can get away with it, right? !

At this moment, Concubine Yu thought of Concubine Ling's beautiful face again, and her heart was startled. Her eyes suddenly became sharp, "Could the emperor really like Concubine Ling?"

"Xianglan, you are overthinking."

"The Emperor stopped the rumors simply because he didn't want anyone to link the matter of the female silk star to me."

"You were... reckless this time."

Concubine Yi, who was sitting by the window, was embroidering orchids elegantly and spoke calmly without even raising her head.

The emperor had spent so much effort to protect her, to pull her out of the whirlpool of the female silk star, and to suppress the dissatisfaction of the previous dynasty and the harem towards her. At this time, she should keep a low profile and protect herself, otherwise, wouldn't she be letting down the emperor's kindness? !

As for... Ling Jieyu? !

Just a substitute!

The sad thing is that she was completely unaware of it and was actually feeling proud of herself because she had won the emperor's favor.

She also knew something about Ling Jieyu Hua Wu's background.

She should have been a good daughter of a marquis, raised as preciously as the others, and received the most careful training of her family, but she was stranded in the south of the Yangtze River, raised by a lowly merchant, and learned a vulgar way.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, she was still rejected by the family and was finally thrown into Lengzhuang, leaving her to fend for herself.

Finally, she entered the palace with her beauty, but it was just a shield for herself.

He is just a sad and pitiful person!

Seeing that Concubine Jue didn't take Hua Wu seriously, Concubine Yu was still a little worried. She frowned and said, "That Concubine Ling looks like that, and she's used to some coquettish tricks. What if..."

What if the fake play becomes real and the emperor really falls in love with her? What should she do?

"Xianglan..."

Concubine Ruo paused, raised her head and looked directly at Concubine Yu, her thin eyebrows slightly raised, her face showing displeasure.

How could Xianglan miss the emperor so much? !

She understands the Emperor.

The Emperor has a capable monarch who is not a womanizer.

Huawu is beautiful, but she has no soul.

How could the emperor like such a superficial and ignorant person? ! Could it be that all these noble ladies from aristocratic families are not as good as a vulgar person from the countryside? !

By thinking this way, Xianglan not only looked down on the emperor, but also looked down on themselves.

When Concubine Yu saw that Concubine Yi was angry, her lips moved but she said nothing more. She just lowered her head and continued to peel the tangerines, but a hint of fierceness flashed across her eyebrows.

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

The Imperial Concubine was aloof and proud, and pure in character, but she had to keep an eye on that Concubine Ling for the Imperial Concubine, and must not let her use her foxy tricks to make the fake thing come true.

……

Yichun Palace. Side hall.

"master……?"

Zi Yan looked at the gloomy brows of her master Rong Guiren and said with some uneasiness.

There were rumors in the palace that Concubine Ling was a female silk star, and her master also helped push the rumor behind the scenes. Even some of the palace maids who were captured were her master's people.

Now, the rumor had no effect on Ling Jieyu at all. Instead, their master lost several people. It would be strange if their master was in a good mood.

"Hua, Wu!"

Rong Guiren Yao Shuyi's eyes were dark and unclear, and she squeezed out a few words from between her teeth.

She felt that Hua Wu was born to be her nemesis!

Ever since she met Hua Wu at the talent show, everything has gone wrong for her.

Originally, the emperor doted on her and even did not participate in the palace selection for her. Everyone envied her and said that she was the most outstanding among the group of concubines. However, all this ended after the emperor met Hua Wu.

Now, the emperor only favors Hua Wu. Except for the night when she first received the emperor's favor, she has never seen the emperor again.

How could Yao Shuyi not hate this? !

Originally, she wanted to take advantage of this rumor to make Hua Wu die, but she didn't expect that although Hua Wu was so weak, she was very sharp-tongued. She made both Ping Fei and Shu Fei speechless, forcing Shu Fei to beat her own people to death and asked the emperor to come forward to quell the rumors for her.

Rong Guiren Yao Shuyi took a few deep breaths and tried hard to suppress the hatred in her eyes.

She couldn't let hatred get the better of her!

If she couldn't even handle a little concubine, how could she deal with the so-called female silk star, Concubine Yu? ! That was her real enemy!

"Zi Yan, pack up a few things and let's go see the sisters in Zhu Xiu Palace."

"It's been a while since we last met. I'm sure they're having a hard time..."

After a few breaths, Rong Guiren Yao Shuyi's face returned to its usual gentle and beautiful look, with an imperceptible sneer at the corner of her mouth.
