"I can't argue with you, but I know that God is watching what you do. I've seen everything you've done along the way, and I'll remember everything you've done!"

Qingying was about to leave after making such harsh remarks, but Huang Qiying said:

"Wait! Nara, commoner, I must remind you that you are now a commoner. You are not worthy to use the word 'servant concubine'."

After saying this, ignoring Qingying's humiliated and resentful look, Huang Qiying asked Fucha Langya for permission to send someone to watch Qingying go back and pack her things and then send her to the cold palace.

"After all, Ulanara is a commoner. Some things, like her armor, would be considered slanderous if used, so there's no need to carry them."

Qingying panicked. She covered her armor and screamed, "Princess Yi! You didn't even leave me this last bit of dignity!"

No one paid any attention to her, and the queen even asked Su Xin to do it herself.

"Please come in, commoner Nara." Su Xin handled the matter impartially.

As she finished speaking, A Ruo's screams were heard from outside the hall. Qingying seemed to be awakened and walked away timidly.

After the two left, Huang Qiying said that she had something to say and asked the queen to send her attendants away.

"Qiying, what do you want to say?"

"Empress, Sister Hui, although Ulanara has connections and motives, she doesn't have the brains!"

The Queen agreed with this statement. "You mean Qingying isn't the mastermind behind this, and there's someone else behind her?"

"Sisters, do you think there is anyone in this palace who has the ability to plot against three high-ranking concubines at the same time and have the Emperor believe it?"

Fu Cha Langya and Gao Xiyue looked at each other and saw the same answer in each other's eyes. They said in unison, "Empress Dowager!"

……

At the gate of the cold palace, Li Yu,惢心 and Qingying said goodbye, and Su Xin stood aside and watched silently.

Earlier in Jingren Palace, when惢心 packed Qingying's bag, she also packed some for herself. Suxin did not stop her, but Qingying told Li Yu that she was worried that惢心 would be bullied if she left her alone in Jingren Palace, so she wanted to take her to the cold palace to keep her company.

Su Xin was no longer silent. "My Lord Nara, let me remind you: Suo Xin is a first-class maid in Jingren Palace. How could she follow you to the cold palace if she had done nothing wrong?"

"Why not?"

Before惢心 could even utter a word, Li Yu hurriedly stood between Qingying and惢心, and argued with her with a sullen face, "惢心 is originally Qingzhu's maid. Wherever Qingzhu is,惢心 should be there!"

"Eunuch Li is confused. 惢心 was a maid selected to enter the palace, not a concubine of Nara. Her destination can only be decided by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. It is not for you, me, or Nara to interfere."

"you!"

"Li Yu." Qingying grabbed Li Yu's sleeve and shook her head lightly. It was too undignified to argue with the Queen's people. "Su Xin is the Queen's person, you can't argue with her."

"Master Qing, how could I stand by and watch a mere servant like her humiliate you like this?"

"Okay, I know you feel sorry for me, but now that I've been deposed by the Emperor, I'm like a fallen phoenix. I can't avoid these trivial things. Don't be angry, okay?"

"Alas! Master Qing is kind-hearted, but I am useless." Li Yu's eyes were red as he took out a silver note and a gold leaf from his arms and sleeves respectively and stuffed them into Qingying's hands.

"Master Qing, from now on you will be staying alone in the cold palace. This is a token of my love, please keep it. You will need it in the cold palace in the future."

"How can this be possible?" Qingying was at a loss as she held the silver coins in her hands. "How can I take your money?"

"Master Qing, please don't refuse. I will always remember how kind you have been to me.

Besides, I am from the same hometown as惢心, and now惢心 cannot come with you to take care of you. Consider this little gift as a gift from惢心 to you. You must keep it well, and don't let yourself get hurt once you get in there."

惢心 nodded, indicating that Li Yu was right.

"Okay, since it's your sincerity, I'll accept it."

Seeing his sincerity, Qingying happily put the banknotes and gold leaves into her bag. Finally, she said, "The palace is dangerous. Without me outside to protect you, you must be more careful in the future and take good care of yourselves. Don't always think about me."

"Qingzhu'er, don't worry! We won't cause any trouble for you. You have to be well in there."

"What a deep bond between master and servant, if Li Yu wasn't the emperor's servant," Su Xin thought.

Under the setting sun, Li Yu finally finished his explanation after a long chatter. Qingying, carrying her small bag, stepped into the cold palace step by step under the gazes of him and惢心, which were full of guilt, heartache and reluctance.

“Squeak—bang!”

The door of the cold palace was completely closed, blocking out惢心 and Li Yu's sight, and Su Xin finally felt relieved.

"My master has instructed that we must not let Nara take Suo Xin into the cold palace. I have done so."

After the matter was done, Su Xin was very easy to talk to. "Eunuch Li Yu, Miss Su Xin, the commoner Nara has already gone in. Let's go back."

It's a pity that some people are shameless.

"Hmph! A villain is succeeding." Li Yu flicked his whisk, turned his face away and left.

惢心 stayed where she was awkwardly, "Miss Su Xin, Li Yu didn't mean it, please don't take it to heart."

"You don't need to explain. Li Yu and Nara Shuren have always been good friends. Now that Nara Shuren has been sent to the cold palace, he's unhappy and naturally displeased with me, the Queen's maid."

惢心's face changed. You can't just say that! The eunuch in front of the emperor cares about the emperor's concubines and doesn't give face to the queen's confidant palace maid. Can this be a good thing?

But Su Xin did not give her any chance to argue. She left with a cold face after she finished speaking. She still had to go back and report to the Queen.

Suoxin sighed, tightly grasped the small bag on her shoulder, and returned to Jingren Palace anxiously.

When the news reached the Imperial Medical Bureau, Jiang Yebin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the incident involving the commoner did not implicate惢心.

惢心 is not young anymore. Palace maids can leave the palace and return home after they turn 25. As long as惢心 is willing, he can marry his beloved one then!

In the same good mood as Jiang Yebin was Zhen Huan in the Cining Palace.

Although this move failed to harm the Queen, at least the niece of her sworn enemy, Yixiu, was sent to the cold palace. Without an annoying person staying in the harem, Zhen Huan felt that she could even breathe a lot easier.

As for Consort Hui and the Queen, there will be plenty of opportunities to take action in the future! Well, as for Consort Yi, I'll have to keep an eye on her in the future.

But she didn't know that this matter was far from over. The investigation and counterattack surrounding her had just begun...

Trapped in Zhalong's residence, now renamed Chonghua Palace by the emperor, Hailan soon learned the sad news that Qingying had been deposed and sent to the cold palace for murdering the imperial concubine after discovering that Ling Yunche was missing.

"Impossible! This is impossible! My sister is so kind, how could she do such a thing? This must be slander!"

"Empress, Imperial Concubine, and Concubine Yi! You are the ones who caused my sister to be sent to the cold palace. I will not let you go!"

"Sister, Ling Yunche, Ling Yunche is dead..."

Hai Lan thought of the palace maid that Ling Yunche often talked about. She heard that she had gone to serve the eldest prince. The eldest prince's adoptive mother was Concubine Chun, who was stupid and gullible. Perhaps, she could use Wei Yanwan and Concubine Chun to leave here and rescue her sister.

Huang Qiying didn't expect that Qingying had just entered the cold palace and Hailan was already starting to turn evil.

But she wouldn't care even if she knew. She was now busy joining forces with the Queen and the Imperial Concubine to find fault with the Queen Mother, and had no time to pay attention to Hai Lan who was secretly developing in the dark.

After Ling Yunche's death, Wei Yanwan secretly grieved for him for a long time. Hai Lan sent her a message saying that she knew Ling Yunche died in vain and asked her if she wanted to avenge her lover. Wei Yanwan hesitated for a long time and still chose to meet Hai Lan.

Hai Lan was full of confidence, but when she saw Wei Yanwan's face in the firelight, which was somewhat similar to Qingying's when she was young, her heart tightened!

This maid was willing to borrow money and bribe the head nanny in order to serve the eldest prince. It's clear that she loves power. She is so beautiful and looks so much like her sister...

No! She must not be allowed to see the Emperor!

"Master Hai? Master Hai, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Hai Lan's eyes were unfriendly, which made Wei Yanwan feel uneasy. She immediately regretted being so reckless. She came to Chonghua Palace to secretly meet Hai Gege, who was disliked by the Queen Mother, just based on a single word.

"Nothing!" Hai Lan came back to her senses and restrained her expression. "I just remembered some bad things." She pretended to be friendly. "Is it not scary?"

Wei Yanwan quickly shook her head. In fact, she was a little scared, but she didn't dare to say it.

"I called you here to tell you that Concubine Yi murdered Concubine Hui, but she was too cunning and killed Ling Yunche in advance, and used Ling Yunche's death to plot against my sister."

"elder sister?"

"It was Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian was born into a noble family and was kind-hearted. Unfortunately, she didn't understand the underworld tactics of the harem, and that's why she was harmed by Concubine Yi."

Wei Yanwan regretted it deeply. How could a maid like her have heard such secrets in the deep palace? Moreover, Hai Gege had been imprisoned in Chonghua Palace for several months. How could she know so much about what was happening outside Chonghua Palace?

She told me this because she wanted me to do something for her?

Hai Lan frowned. She could see that Wei Yanwan was unhappy and felt unhappy: This person was really useless. Ling Yunche was so good to her, but now that she heard that he was killed, her first reaction was not to avenge him but to be afraid and want to hide?

She really felt sorry for Ling Yunche!
