Why do you always rush to join me after awakening?

"Hello, Queen Mother."

Zhen Huan sat on the couch smoking a water pipe, paying no attention to Bai Ruiji's intentions.

Not until Zhen Huan comfortably exhaled a puff of cigarette and enjoyed it with her eyes slightly closed did she say to Bai Ruiji, "Princess Mei, this has been going on for several days. It's enough. It's not good to overdo things."

"Queen Dowager, I am just very angry."

"Oh? Are you mad about something?"

"My deceased child is not only related to Gao Xiyue, but also to—"

"Alright, Imperial Noble Consort Huixian has already passed away, can't this matter be brought to an end?"

No matter how arrogant and domineering Bai Ruiji is, she has to behave herself when she comes before the Queen Mother.

After all, her current situation is inseparable from the Queen Mother’s behind-the-scenes support.

With the Queen Mother's warning, no matter how many complaints Bai Ruiji had, she could only swallow her anger.

After Meipin left, Fujia looked at Zhen Huan and whispered, "Queen Dowager, judging from Meipin's behavior, she won't give up."

Zhen Huan sneered and said nonchalantly, "I used to think that Wei Yanwan was simple-minded. I didn't expect that she could lead Concubine Mei over with just a few simple words."

Although Wei Yanwan had nothing to do with Concubine Mei giving birth to a monster, she is indeed taking advantage of Concubine Mei now.

"It's understandable, actually. Wei Changzai was once abused by Concubine Jia in Qixiang Palace. Plus, Concubine Yu always targeted her. She just wanted to fight back to protect herself."

"It's rare to hear you speak up for others. Okay, let's leave it at that. Go over to Qixiang Palace and Yanxi Palace and give them a few warnings. I really don't know how Ruyi is managing them. The Empress is in poor health and can't work too hard, but the Emperor asked her to help manage the six palaces, which is why there's such a chaotic situation."

The emperor did not take back Ruyi's power to assist in managing the six palaces, but despite this, she did nothing.

Now Zhen Huan has expressed her dissatisfaction with her.

Although she didn't say it directly, Fujia understood what the Queen Mother meant.

If Ruyi can't manage it well, then find someone else to manage it.

But when I think about it carefully, there is actually no suitable person.

"Empress Dowager, shall I go and call Concubine Xian?"

"Well, let's go."

"Grandma Huang!"

"It's Jingse coming! Come in quickly!"

"You little girl, you brought Yuanbao here again."

Huihui, who was sleeping on his stomach, saw Yuanbao in Jingse's arms. His eyes, which were originally slightly closed due to sleepiness, suddenly became bright and he hurried towards Jingse.

Just like the previous few days, Yuanbao's hair stood on end when he saw Huihui, and he kept whimpering angrily.

-

“Hahaha, hiss—”

"My Lady, what's wrong?"

"Just now, I laughed so hard that the wound on my face was pulled."

"惢心, where is the medicine? Hurry up and apply it to the Empress."

"The master just took the medicine not long ago, and it hasn't been absorbed yet."

Ling Yunche frowned and said in a serious tone, "Go quickly if I tell you to get it."

"Oh."

惢心 was almost speechless.

When did Ling Yunche have the power to order her around?

She just noticed that Concubine Xian's eyes were almost filled with tenderness when she looked at Ling Yunche, and that he could order her around with Ruyi's tacit consent.

That’s it, that’s it.

As soon as惢心 took out the ointment, Ling Yunche snatched it away impatiently.

"Your Majesty, you can't see. I will help you."

Ruyi pursed her thick lips into a big O shape and said kindly, "Okay."

Just as Ling Yunche was about to apply medicine to her, Fu Jia came over at the right time.

"Noble Concubine Xian? What are you doing?"

When Ruyi heard Fujia's voice, she was frightened and immediately stood up from the recliner.

"Aunt Fujia, why are you here?"

Fujia looked at Ling Yunche with eyes that revealed all kinds of dissatisfaction. He first responded to Ruyi's words, "The Empress Dowager asked you to come over."

Then Fujia shifted her gaze to the uneasy Ling Yunche. Before she could say anything, Ruyi had already moved forward and calmly blocked Ling Yunche's body behind her.

Fujia's face was filled with rage at this scene, and he asked directly, "Does Imperial Concubine Xian take me for a fool? Forgive me for saying so much, Imperial Concubine Xian, this must be the guard who helped you in the cold palace. You two seem to have overstepped your bounds."

"Aunt Fujia, you misunderstood. I just came to visit the Empress."

Fujia looked at Ling Yunche dangerously and asked, "Outside men are not allowed to enter the harem. Don't you understand this rule? Do you have to get so close to Concubine Xian to visit her?"

After saying that, Fujia turned and left.

Even if Ruyi was unhappy, she had to quickly tidy up her appearance and go out.

Before leaving, she did not forget to tell him, "Ling Yunche, don't take Aunt Fujia's words to heart. I will be back soon."

"Well, I am waiting for your Majesty to come back."

Ruyi pursed her lips and smiled, then skipped out of the Yikun Palace.

Fujia did not wait for her and had already fallen far behind Ruyi.

Looking at Fujia's receding figure, Ruyi complained, "It's really that serious. You scolded me just for such a small matter."

惢心 silently complained in her heart, "This is not the case. This is only because the person who saw it was Fujia, and she was given some face. If it was anyone else, Ruyi would be doomed today."

"I don't know what the Queen Mother wants to talk to me about, and Fujia won't tell me, which makes me feel a little panicked."

"Master, don't panic. If there really was something wrong, the Queen Mother wouldn't have asked Aunt Fujia to come over now."

If there really is something wrong, I will report you to the Ministry of Punishment.

Can I still talk to you nicely like now?

Ruyi passed by Chuxiu Palace and happened to meet Wanpin and Shupin walking out together.

"Greetings, Her Majesty the Concubine Xian."

"Ah."

After greeting, Yihuan shifted her gaze to the side and no longer looked at Ruyi.

Ruyi glanced at her, said a few simple words to Concubine Wan, and left.

"I remember you and Concubine Xian were very close before. Why don't you talk to each other recently?"

Yihuan replied unenthusiastically, "Sometimes, the person you truly care about may not like you back. They're just being polite to each other. This kind of relationship can break down at any time because of a small thing."

Wanpin had no idea what had happened between Yihuan and Ruyi.

So when she heard what Yihuan was muttering, she immediately understood, so she stopped asking and changed the subject, "I originally wanted to go and see Sister Yanwan, but I didn't expect she wasn't in Yongshou Palace."

Yi Huan said with a smile, "She always likes to move around. She can't sit still for even a moment. Who knows, maybe she's made some new friends."

"You sound a bit sour when you say that."

"Really? It's just a fact."

"You still say no, but when I see Sister Yanwan I'm going to complain to her."

Their sister Yanwan was busy as a madman and had no time to listen to their complaints.
