After saying that, Chunmei didn't pay any more attention to Rong Pei and turned around and left. Anyway, she had already brought what Ru had promised, and it was Rong Pei's business whether to go or not.

Rong Pei waved to Chunmei and wanted to say something to her, but seeing that she had already turned and left, she had to give up.

Rong Pei thought that since Ru Da Ying valued her so much, she must not know that she was injured so seriously. Anyway, Ru Da Ying had already won the emperor's favor, so it should not be difficult for her to call an imperial physician.

She got up from the bed, tidied herself up, and went to Ruhua's bedroom.

Rong Pei was having trouble walking now. She limped forward and saluted Ruhua, saying:

"I pay my respects to Ru Yan, and wish you the best of luck and happiness. I congratulate Ru Yan on receiving the Emperor's favor. I wish the Emperor and Ru Yan a long-lasting love that is stronger than gold."

Rong Pei knelt on the ground, her body was a little unstable and she almost fell to the ground, but Ruhua's butt was like nails, and she sat steadily on the chair.

She smiled a smile as pure as a chrysanthemum and said calmly, "The Emperor and I are in love, and we have never been into this. It's just that this is my first time sleeping with him, and today I have to go to see the Empress. Since you are my senior maid, you should accompany me."

Chunmei gave a sarcastic smile. Ruhua said this as if she trusted Rongpei so much. However, Rongpei was so badly injured now, but she still had to bow to Ruhua politely. However, Ruhua was unwilling to even lend a hand to help her.

If I agree to this, it would be really heartless and ungrateful.

The pain in her body made Rong Pei frown repeatedly. She looked up at Ruhua and pleaded, "I'm really feeling unwell. Could you please ask a doctor to see me?"

Ruhua sighed, "Rong Pei, it's not that I don't want to help, but this is my first time serving the emperor. I think the Empress and the concubines in the harem must be very resentful of me. I don't want the Emperor to bear too much pressure. Just think of it as your own sake and bear with it!"

Rong Pei: ………

She didn't know why, but she suddenly regretted agreeing to serve him.

She originally thought that she would be able to live a good life after becoming a head maid in Qixiang Palace, but her life now is not as good as when she was doing rough labor in the Old Summer Palace!

At least at that time he didn't have to drag around wounds and listen to his master's nonsense.

Gyeongin Palace

Everyone looked at Ruhua with disgust. They didn't know when the emperor's taste became so strange that he actually liked this kind of woman.

Ruhua thought they were jealous of her, so she raised her chin, pointed her fingers, grabbed the corner of her clothes, and walked to the front.

Xin Changzai couldn't help but remind her, "You are the last one in line, so you should sit there. The seat at the top is the seat of the virtuous concubine."

But Ruhua continued to walk forward regardless, "The distinction between high and low is in the human heart. It's just a seat. I don't think Concubine Xian would be so stingy!"

Just when Ruhua's butt was about to hit the seat, a golden hairpin whizzed by and knocked her to the ground.

The maid beside Concubine Xian bowed to her, then walked to the front and picked up the gold hairpin.

Concubine Xian patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this unlucky thing did not touch her seat.

Ruhua sat up from the ground with grievance, "Xian Guifei, why do you treat me like this? If you treat me like this, I don't know what to say."

Concubine Xian: "Get out!"

Ruhua glanced cautiously at the fierce Concubine Xian, and was sure that she was not someone to be trifled with. She could only bow to her obediently and sit back in her seat.

This scene stunned the other concubines. If they agreed to this, it would be really... puzzling.

Xin Chang was clearly there just now and had kindly reminded her, but she still insisted on going to make trouble.

Yixiu hasn't arrived yet, and the other concubines are all well-behaved, sitting obediently in their chairs, either drinking tea or waiting quietly.

Only Ruhua was there, leaning on the table beside her with her chin in her hand, dozing off.

No one was too lazy to pay attention to her. Since Ruhua was so unruly, they would just wait for the queen to come and punish her.

"The Queen has arrived!"

Jianqiu said loudly.

The concubines quickly stood up and saluted, "Your servants pay their respects to the Empress, may the Empress be blessed with good health and happiness."

After all the concubines had finished their ceremony, Ruhua slowly stood up from her seat and bowed reluctantly to Yixiu.

Yixiu smiled slightly, "Everyone stand up!"

"Thank you, Queen!"

Yixiu received the emperor's message early this morning that the emperor was ready to go to Mongolia.

The emperor was looking for the legendary shaman, hoping that he could end the bad fate between him and Ruhua and return to a peaceful life.

Secondly, even if the shaman was not found, the emperor did not want to stay in this palace. Ruhua caused him too much psychological pressure, and he just wanted to escape from here temporarily.

The emperor naturally has to make all the necessary plans before leaving the palace, and the concubines accompanying him have to consider this carefully.

"In half a month, the Emperor will travel to Mongolia for a three-month trip. He has already appointed Concubine An, Noble Lady Nian, Noble Lady Chun, and Noble Lady Wan to accompany him. As the Empress of the Qing Dynasty, I will naturally accompany the Emperor. During my absence, all palace affairs will be handled by Noble Concubine Xian."

When Ruhua heard that the middle-aged man she had been thinking about was going out, her eyes widened.

She asked in disbelief, "Aunt, didn't the emperor summon me to go with him?"

Yixiu didn't say anything, but Jianqiu bowed to Yixiu directly, then strode to Ruhua and slapped her hard.

"How dare you question the Empress! If you agree to question the Empress, you should stand up and bow first. And you are just a humble concubine, how can you call yourself this palace?"

Ruhua argued with a specious argument, "Aunt, that's not what I meant. It's just that I'm the only one living in Qixiang Palace now, so it's not an exaggeration to say that I'm the head of the palace!"

The concubines looked at the queen's expression curiously, and then turned their gaze to the face of the always stern Concubine Xian, but the expressions of both of them were very calm, and there was no sign of anger at all.

The concubines turned their attention to Noble Lady Nian's face again, and seeing that Noble Lady Nian was also so calm, everyone had already guessed that Ru had agreed.

This kind of woman is really not worth it. Just treat her like rotten dog shit and stay away from her.

"All of this is arranged by the Emperor. If you agree, then if you have any objections, please ask the Emperor!"
