"Chief Qiang?"

Xiang Huayue looked at Ye'er with a dark look in her eyes and her lips tightly closed. She was no longer the naive little girl.

The maids serving in Concubine Lian's palace were replaced frequently, and she knew that there was only one eunuch who had been with Concubine Lian for many years and had never been replaced. Since His Majesty had promised, she did not ask any more questions.

After listening to Ye'er's confession today, she realized that there was such a big secret.

After listening to Ye'er's confession, Xiang Huayue remained silent, his face as calm as water, yet revealing a sharpness that made people dare not look directly at him.

Her slender eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her deep and charming eyes flashed with a light that could see through everything. Her gaze fell on Ye'er, which made everyone in the palace feel uneasy. The palace maids in Huang Wanyi's palace didn't even dare to breathe, they all held their breath and looked down at the ground.

"Yes, yes. All matters in Her Majesty Consort Lian's palace are handled by this Qiang steward. Although I am Her Majesty's personal maid, I have only been at Jingyang Palace for less than three months and have never personally served Her Majesty. I truly do not know the details of Her Majesty's miscarriage. I beg Your Majesty to investigate."

Perhaps frightened by the Queen's majesty, at the critical moment of life and death, Ye'er slowly calmed down and tried hard to recall everything that happened after she entered Jingyang Palace.

She entered the palace as a slave just to survive. She was not a fool. She had long seen the clues about the overly close relationship between Concubine Lian and General Qiang.

However, when she first entered the palace, the nanny taught her that she should talk less and do more, and that being a diligent mute was the only way to live long in the palace.

Perhaps this was the only difference between her and those palace maids who were sent back to the Inner Teaching House by Concubine Lian within a month of working in Jingyang Palace, which was why Concubine Lian kept her.

She originally thought that as long as she quietly completed the tasks assigned by General Qiang, and that Concubine Lian was also quite favored by His Majesty, she would be safe by Concubine Lian's side. However, she never expected to encounter this incident.

After all, she was a palace maid who had just been trained in the Inner Palace. She was young and inexperienced. The moment she raised her eyes, she met the sharp eyes of the Empress.

I had just calmed down, but the courage I had mustered up was gone in an instant, and I shrank back like a quail.

Xiang Huayue looked at Huang Wanyi. Without her saying anything, Huang Wanyi knew that what was going to happen next was not something a little girl like her should hear.

Having lived in the same palace with Concubine Lian for many years, she had long guessed about some of the things happening in Concubine Lian's palace.

She only knew that Concubine Lian was brainless, but she never thought she would be so bold.

Huang Wanyi gathered her dress in front of her, stood up and bowed to the Queen:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's time for me to take my medicine. I will withdraw now."

Xiang Huayue was satisfied with Huang Wanyi's understanding, and her eyes and brows softened a lot when she looked at her.

"You are not in good health, so you probably don't have the energy to take care of the layout of your palace. Tomorrow, I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to give your palace a good repair and replace all these old utensils."

Hearing the Queen's words, Huang Wanyi's eyes showed gratitude at the right moment, and her clear and pure eyes turned slightly red, like a little rabbit that could not be more obedient.

"I thank the Empress for her care and concern. I will always remember this and will follow your lead. I will take my leave now."

When Huang Wanyi stood up, her eyes were full of gratitude as she looked at Xiang Huayue, and she quickly retreated with the palace maids serving in the hall.

With fewer people in the hall, it seemed noticeably emptier.

When Xiang Huayue turned her head and looked at Ye'er, her eyes suddenly became sharp:

"Tell me everything you know about Concubine Lian and the eunuch surnamed Qiang, and I will release you back to the Inner Court."

Hearing that she could go back, Ye'er's dead heart came back to life little by little. She looked up at the Queen with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

"Don't worry, the Queen Mother has ordered you to return. No one will dare to embarrass you."

Liang Chongyue spoke at the right time, her gentle voice was like a warm spring breeze, which gradually blew Ye'er's already shattered heart back together.

"Don't worry, Madam. I will tell you everything I know."

Ye'er clenched her fists at her sides, adjusted her breathing, and secretly cheered herself up.

Concubine Lian is the head of a palace, and there are many palace maids serving her. If she doesn't say anything, someone will naturally say it.

If I could take this opportunity to leave this cannibalistic Jingyang Palace, even if I was sent to the laundry house after returning, it would be better than losing my life.

When Ye'er raised her eyes again, they were filled with the desire to live. Her eyes, which had been dull and lifeless just now, had regained their brilliance. Her tightly pursed lips were slightly opened, and her whole body was trembling with fear and excitement.

After the first word was spoken, Ye'er's trembling body finally recovered a little, and she began to tell everything she had heard and seen in Jingyang Palace over the past three months...

"That's right. I've never served Her Majesty Lian up close. Even Her Majesty's bathing was attended to by Chief Qiang. All I have to do every day is stand at the door for Her Majesty and warn Her Majesty when His Majesty arrives."

I heard that it was much more interesting than what I saw myself. While Ye'er was explaining the facts, Liang Chongyue compared it with the information provided by the system and found that there was nothing incomplete.

After the information from both sides matched, Liang Chongyue directly closed the system panel. It was the first time for her to hear such a story with obscure undertones. Unfortunately, there were no fruits in front of her, so she was not satisfied.

Liang Chongyue was just getting into the mood when she heard the sound of her mother slapping the table next to her. Ye'er was frightened and she covered her mouth with her hands, not daring to say another word.

"How dare Concubine Lian do such a thing in the palace? Chun Chan, go investigate for me. Where did this eunuch surnamed Qiang come from? How dare he so boldly have an affair with Concubine Lian? I will reshape the palace's customs."

Liang Chongyue reached out and patted the back of his mother's hand, then called out to Aunt Chunchan who was about to leave.

"Mother, why not let your son investigate this matter? Someone in the palace has been breaking the rules for who knows when. Once it happens, it will happen again. If we alert the snake early, it will be difficult to catch it once it hides."

Liang Chongyue originally wanted to say that this matter was mainly due to the fact that there were too many beauties in the harem of her scumbag father. She was afraid that if she went to the harem and grabbed ten concubines at random, asked them to stand in a row in front of her scumbag father, he would not even be able to call out their names.

Concubine Lian dared to act so recklessly with the Wuqiang in the palace. Concubine Lian is a brainless person, but this Qiang chief steward may not be the same.

He has been following Concubine Lian from a foreign country until now. The palace has always been strict in selecting eunuchs and palace maids, but he was able to get in. He has been with Concubine Lian for many years and no one has noticed anything wrong. He must be a man with some means.
