The queen has four sons and six daughters, and she can call the wind and rain

Just when Zhou Baozhu thought she was going to die in the water tank, Feng Cairen let go.

She quickly freed her head and lay beside the water tank, gasping for breath.

Feng Cairen's face was extremely cold.

"Just now I was just teaching you a lesson."

"If you can control your temper and cooperate with me to play the role of a good sister in front of Ming Xiurong, I can still live in peace with you. Otherwise, I guarantee that you will die even more miserably next time."

After saying that, she kicked Zhou Baozhu and walked away.

But after taking a few steps, someone poured a basin of water over his head, and instantly he could no longer see the road ahead.

Zhou Baozhu dropped the basin, grabbed her hair, and pressed her into the tank. Thinking she was having trouble breathing, she lifted her head up, waited for her to take a few breaths, and then pushed her head down again.

After going back and forth several times, Feng Cairen's face looked like a dead person.

But Zhou Baozhu still refused to let go.

Fortunately, Qingzhu heard the noise and came out quickly to pull them apart, otherwise someone would have died today.

"boom!"

A teacup fell in front of Zhou Baozhu. Zhou Baozhu shuddered and her expression became even more aggrieved.

"elder sister,……"

"Don't call me sister, I'm not your sister, you are my sister."

"No, you are my father."

"Zhou Baozhu, ah Zhou Baozhu, how dare you fight with others in broad daylight!"

"Luckily this is in Qingning Palace. I can handle any problems you have. If this were outside, you would definitely be in trouble today."

Zhou Baozhu was already unhappy, and after being scolded by Yun Zhining, she burst into tears instantly.

"Sister, you are wrongly accusing me."

“This is not my fault at all.”

"It was her. It was Feng Cairen who started it first."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yun Zhining's face instantly turned dark.

"Feng Cairen, is what Baozhu said true?"

"I dare not lie to you, Your Majesty. It was indeed I who started it first."

"However, the reason why I took action was that I was unwilling to be bullied by Concubine Zhou. If Your Majesty wants to punish me, I have nothing to say."

"Alright, I don't care what conflicts you have. It's wrong for you, a mere talent, to attack the concubine first."

"Since no one was killed, I will not hold you responsible. However, you are not allowed to go to the autumn hunt."

"Empress,..."

"Why, now you don't even want to listen to what I say?"

"I don't dare."

"It's best if you don't dare. Hurry up and get off."

"Concubine, please retire."

Seeing Feng Cairen return in failure, Zhou Baozhu was in such a good mood that she even made a face at Feng Cairen.

Feng Cairen became even angrier.

But Yun Zhining obviously favored her, and no matter how angry Feng Cairen was, she couldn't do anything about it and could only endure it.

Although Yun Zhining blocked the news, the news of the fight between Zhou Baozhu and Feng Cairen still spread throughout the harem. The queen even sent a nanny to teach the two people who fought a lesson personally. As the master of Qingning Palace, Yun Zhining was also "reminded".

All three were unhappy.

But Feng Cairen couldn't go, so there was an extra spot, and everyone else was very happy.

It was night, late at night, and everyone was asleep, but the door of the main hall opened silently.

Yun Zhining quietly stuck her head out, and seeing that there was no one there, she came out cautiously and tiptoed towards the west side hall.

A lamp was still lit in the west side hall. Concubine Feng was sitting on the bed with her knees hugged, her eyes blank, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

"Squeak!"

The door opened and she instantly perked up.

"Miss?"

"it's me."

Yun Zhining closed the door, walked quickly to her, reached out and touched her face, and said with a distressed look on her face.

"I'm sorry for what happened today."

Feng Cairen shook his head and chuckled.

"The one who has worked the hardest is not me, but Sister Zhou."

"I guess yesterday was the most frustrating day for her since she entered the palace."

Yun Zhining couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Indeed, since Baozhu entered the palace, she has rarely been wronged, except when she was with you."

"However, this is not a good thing. If this continues, she will become careless and may lose her life at any time without even knowing who hurt her."

"That is absolutely unacceptable."

"Don't worry, Madam. As long as I am here, I will protect Sister Zhou, just like you protected me in the past."

She was born in an ordinary family. Her parents were ordinary people. The family had five or six acres of thin land. Her father ran a small shop. Although they were not rich, they had enough food and drink.

But accidents happen. One day, her father was greeting customers in the store when a madman suddenly rushed in, slashing around with a knife. In order to protect the customers, her father was slashed in the throat by the madman and died instantly.

The village bully has always coveted her mother.

Because her father was there before, the bully was ready to do something but didn't dare to put it into action.

As soon as her father died, her mother was like a chick that had encountered a weasel, at the mercy of others.

She was the only child of her parents. As a weak woman who was powerless, she could not resist the bully's attack at all. She could only watch the bully persecute her mother in front of her.

Her mother couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide by jumping into a well.

She went to the county government office to file a complaint but was driven out by the jailer.

When I asked relatives and friends for help, they also turned me away.

At the critical moment, someone from the Zhou family passed by and helped her. The bully was executed, and a trustworthy person was sent to look after her shop.

She was very grateful and hosted a banquet for the Zhou family. When she learned that they had gone to see the county magistrate with Yun Zhining's token, the county magistrate then followed the rules.

She had no way to repay this great favor. Not to mention that Yun Zhining only asked her to play the role of an enemy to see who in the palace had ill intentions towards her, even if she was asked to use her death to frame other concubines, she would be willing to do so without any regrets.

"Well, no matter what, you are the one who was wronged this time."

"For the safety of Little Strawberry and Little Pomelo, I can only resort to this last resort. I have to find a way to get you to stay. This is a plot in name only, but it is actually for protection."

"Don't worry, I will make it up to you when I come back."

"Your Majesty, please feel free to take the eldest princess and Sister Zhou to the autumn hunt. Even if I risk my life, I will protect the third princess and the fourth prince."

"Just do your best. Their lives are lives, and your lives are lives too."

"understood."

This is the end of the matter.

Three days later, everyone was ready to go.

Mulan Paddock is quite far from Chang'an City. At their speed, it will take two days and one night to get there.

The team set out in the afternoon and did not arrive until the morning of the third day.

After arriving, the guards and palace maids were busy setting up the tent and arranging the things inside so that their master could rest as soon as possible.

Yun Zhining also wanted to rest as soon as possible, so she asked Zhou Baozhu to help look after Xiao Pu Tao, and she went up to help.

With her joining, the tent was set up quickly, but no one knew where the two men had gone.

Yun Zhining was tired and sleepy, her brain couldn't work anymore and she had no energy to look for them. She could only go back to rest and ask Qingzhu and the others to help find Xiao Pu Tao and Zhou Baozhu.

I slept until the afternoon.

When she woke up, Yun Zhining was so hungry that her chest was almost sticking to her back.

"Qingzhu, Qingzhu, ..."

I shouted several times, but no one came in.

She quickly stood up and drew aside the curtain, but there was no one there.

This is strange.

In broad daylight, where have all the people gone?

Just then, she heard a sound of breaking wind. Before she could react, she saw an arrow brush past her ear and land straight on the pole supporting the tent, with the tail of the arrow still trembling slightly.
