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

Hua Wu looked in the direction of the voice and saw a plump concubine with a bun in a lotus bun and wearing a gorgeous palace dress with madder red peony color walking slowly towards them with her people. She looked at Hua Wu with a proud and critical look.

"Who is this?" Hua Wu had no impression.

"My Lord, she is Cheng Zhaorong from Yongning Palace."

Yu Ping, an elder in the palace, answered quickly, fearing that if she was a step slower, her master would suffer.

Cheng Zhaorong?!

Hua Wu has some impression.

When she first entered the palace, this lady happened to catch a cold, so she never saw her when she paid her respects to the Empress several times.

Cheng Zhaorong was Concubine Ping's person.

She and Concubine Ping can be regarded as the two generals in the palace.

She is a person with big breasts and no brains, sarcastic and mean, and likes to stir up trouble. She is not liked by people in the palace, let alone the emperor.

The reason why she was still able to sit firmly on the position of Zhaorong was, firstly, that she had a good relationship with Concubine Ping, and secondly, that her father was a first-rank general who was stationed in the southwest.

I didn't expect to meet him in the Imperial Garden today.

Judging from the unfriendly look of this person, he is obviously here to cause trouble.

To be honest, the words these concubines used to mock her were always the same: "You are just a merchant girl with a bad family background," "You are a vulgar person who is not presentable," and "The emperor is just showing off his interest for a while." She had hear them so many times that her ears were callused.

These words were like the wind passing by without leaving any mark on Hua Wu. They didn't hurt her at all. Every time they said them, she would be in trouble. But they just enjoyed doing it. It seemed that they really wanted to piss her off to death...

"Oh! Concubine Ling is now well again and can even stroll around the Imperial Garden... or... is Concubine Ling also here to see Concubine Rong and Concubine Meng laugh at their jokes?"

Cheng Zhaorong looked at Hua Wu's beautiful face and a hint of jealousy flashed across her eyes.

Imperial Concubine Yu is naturally charming, and Concubine Ling is the most beautiful in the world. There are so many stunning people in the world, why can't there be one more? !

Gee...

The women in this palace are always telling lies.

As for jokes, if two people have a good relationship, they can naturally talk about them in private and make fun of them, but they cannot say them in person, lest it be dug up later and they be punished by the Queen for the crime of discord in the harem.

Is her relationship with Cheng Zhaorong good enough to make fun of Concubine Xiao and Concubine Meng together? !

Hua Wu first greeted Cheng Zhaorong according to palace rules, then smiled and said, "I am not feeling well and have been stuck in Yikun Palace all day. Today is a rare good day, so I'll come to the Imperial Garden for a walk..."

"As for what joke Cheng Zhaorong just told... I have been staying in Yikun Palace for a long time and have not come out, so I don't know."

"I wonder if Cheng Zhaorong would be so kind as to tell me what the joke is, so that I can have a laugh too?"

"Cheng Zhaorong, you don't know that the medicine I drink every day is extremely bitter, but the emperor still insists on staring at me and not allowing even a drop to be left. It's really distressing..."

Hua Wu smiled and complained shyly.

Yikun Palace?! Not a single drop left?!

Is this bitch showing off how much the emperor dotes on her? !

Cheng Zhaorong was so angry that she hooked the handkerchief in her hand, her chest heaving violently, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be spewing fire. But then, she seemed to have thought of something, the anger on her face gradually disappeared, and a trace of malice suddenly appeared in her eyes. She said meaningfully: "Ling Jieyu, the emperor is watching you drink the medicine, but it is for your own good..."

"After all, you only have ten years to live..."

"how?"

"Ling Jieyu, don't you know?"

Looking at the angry eyes of people in Yikun Palace, Cheng Zhaorong felt extremely happy.

When the imperial physician diagnosed that Concubine Ling's life span was short, the emperor immediately issued an order forbidding anyone to tell Concubine Ling the news. I guess everyone in Yikun Palace also kept it a secret from Concubine Ling, right? !

So what if he is favored? He is still a short-lived ghost?!

"Ten...ten years?!"

Hua Wu seemed to have suffered a huge blow. The blood color on his face faded away, and he became as pale as snow. His body was shaking, and then he closed his eyes and fell down softly.

"master!?!"

"Somebody come!"

"Call the doctor!"

The entire Yikun Palace was in chaos. Jinzhan and Yuping were so frightened that their souls flew away. They held onto Hua Wu's limp body and screamed in shock.

"Cheng Zhaorong, the emperor has already issued a strict order, forbidding anyone in the palace to disclose her illness to my master."

"Now, you knowingly violated the imperial decree. Do you know the consequences?!"

Eunuch Lin, the eunuch in charge of Yikun Palace, was anxious and angry, and could not help but speak harshly.

"How dare you! It's not your turn as a lowly servant to comment on what I do!"

If a eunuch had dared to disrespect her in the past, she would have ordered him to be beaten with a stick.

However, she didn't have the heart to punish Eunuch Lin now.

I was so busy having fun just now that I blurted out the news of Hua Wu's premature death. Now, after being reminded by Eunuch Lin, I remembered that the Emperor had ordered that Concubine Ling's illness be concealed.

She couldn't afford to be charged with disobeying an imperial decree.

At this time, Cheng Zhaorong was so frightened that her face turned pale and her lips trembled. After forcing herself to scold Eunuch Lin, she dared not stay any longer and ran away in shame with her people.

"Hua Wu, Cheng Zhaorong ran away."

Hongyaer reported in Huawu's sea of consciousness.

"Tsk! Aren't you completely stupid yet? You still know you've gotten into trouble!"

Hua Wu closed his eyes and still pretended to be unconscious, but he kept complaining to Hong Yaer in his mind.

She also didn't expect Cheng Zhaorong to be so stupid as to openly bring up the matter of her short life and tell it to her face. She would feel embarrassed if she didn't seize this great opportunity.

Cheng Zhaorong was of a higher position than her, so if she really found some excuse to punish her, it would be disgusting.

Just take the opportunity to make things bigger.

It was no big deal that Cheng Zhaorong bullied her in the Imperial Garden. Even if the matter was reported to the Emperor and the Empress, they would only receive a few mild reprimands. The biggest mistake Cheng Zhaorong made was disobeying the Imperial Edict!

Disobeying the imperial edict can be a big or small matter.

It all depends on the emperor's decision.

But Cheng Zhaorong was out of favor, so she must have been very scared. Even a light punishment would be enough to make her keep quiet for a while.

Seeing Jinzhan crying so miserably, Hua Wu, sitting in the sedan chair, gently hooked Jinzhan's palm with her fingers, indicating that she was fine. Jinzhan was stunned for a moment, and saw Hua Wu's long eyelashes trembling. Only then did she realize that she was not actually fainted. She was so happy that she couldn't help but hiccuping.

Jinzhan's strange behavior was discovered by Yuping, and Jinzhan quickly gave Yuping a look, indicating that her master was fine.

Yu Ping, who had been in a panic, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, her eyebrows raised and her eyes showed anger. Their master was weak and had no family background, and anyone dared to bully their master.

She was so panicked just now that she didn't expect it.

Now she understood why her master pretended to be unconscious.

Cheng Zhaorong, now I'll let you know that my master is not someone you can easily bully.

So Yuping gave Jinzhan another look, indicating that she should continue crying, the louder the better.

Although Jinzhan didn't understand what was going on, she knew she wasn't as smart as Yuping, and Yuping must have had a purpose in asking her to cry louder, so she opened her mouth and started howling again. The other little palace maids, who were already panicking, became even more panicked when they saw Jinzhan, the older palace maid, crying loudly, and they also started to cry loudly...

From a distance, everyone in the Yikun Palace was crying miserably, as if someone had died.
