The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

Madam Liao's words calmed Concubine Xian down a little.

Consort Xian asked, "Si Ya Zheng has been given the title of Noble Concubine. Has she been given a title?"

Linglong said, "I haven't heard of any titles being bestowed. Generally speaking, titles are given by His Majesty based on the concubine's temperament and appearance."

The virtuous concubine snorted, "Generally speaking, the empress dowager has never interfered in the appointment of concubines. The old woman is becoming more and more rampant!"

Ever since the birthday banquet, Concubine Xian has been disgusted with the Empress Dowager and always calls her "old hag" and "immortal" in private.

Madam Liao pressed Concubine Xian's hand and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. The Empress Dowager is like this, and the person who should be most angry is His Majesty. Your Majesty, just don't worry about it and let the new Concubine Zheng and Concubine Zhao fight it out. As for His Majesty asking you to rest and not be involved in the affairs of the harem for the time being, then you should keep a low profile and wait for the opportunity. Once the matter of the Ying Selection Concubine is over, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to regain power."

The virtuous concubine gritted her teeth and said, "I understand what Mammy said. I just can't accept it!"

Madam Liao smiled kindly, "Your Majesty is still as good-tempered as she was in the boudoir. I'll tell you something that will make you happy. Before I entered the palace, I went to pay my respects to the old lady. Coincidentally, the Duke was there, saying goodbye to her. His Majesty had just issued an order at the morning court, ordering the Duke to inspect the military affairs of the capital on behalf of the Emperor. He is to depart today. This is a great honor."

The virtuous concubine was surprised when she heard this: "Madam, why didn't you tell me earlier that this was happening? I was in the palace and didn't hear anything!"

Madam Liao said, "The Duke was given an errand before the morning court was over, and he hurried back to the palace to pack up and set off. I'm sure the news will spread quickly throughout the harem, so just relax, Your Majesty. Who in the palace would dare disrespect you?"

The virtuous concubine was indeed relieved.

Although she had suspended her power to assist in managing the harem, her father was still entrusted with important tasks, which showed that the emperor was not really angry with her.

The virtuous concubine finally showed her first sincere smile since yesterday.

"Then I will take this opportunity to have a good rest for a while, and catch the rat who framed me!"

Changing the subject, "It's just that I'm still feeling a little aggrieved, and I have to find someone to vent my anger on."

Madam Liao smiled dotingly and said, "Of course. It's an honor for anyone to be the Empress's punching bag."

The virtuous concubine rested her chin on her elbow, her eyes narrowed in thought, her bright red lips pressed into a beautiful arc, a hint of malicious mischief on her face. In the arms of the nanny who had accompanied her throughout her childhood, she seemed to have returned to the carefree days of her boudoir, when everything was bright and cheerful.

Even the gratitude and hatred are clear.

So she made a decision quickly, waved her wide sleeves, and danced gracefully like snow in the wind.

"Send someone to look after Yu. After all, she was once my imperial concubine, and now she's in the cold palace. I wonder if she's doing well."

Although Fei Wan helped Concubine Xian several times, allowing her to escape danger and invisibly helping her suppress the Queen, Fei Wan's rapid rise also gave her great pressure and actual trouble.

The three daughters of the Yu family were trouble in the palace.

But Concubine Xian cannot directly target Fei Wan and deal with Concubine Yu Sujin now, which would be pointless. On the contrary, she can vent her anger on Yu Tingjin in the cold palace who has no ability to resist.

The virtuous concubine's eyes became fierce.

Let Yu Tingjin bear the responsibility for the anger I have been holding in my arms!

Two quarters of an hour later.

From the most dilapidated and remote house in Yanyun Palace, Yu Tingjin's hoarse scream was heard.

“Let go…I don’t want to drink, I…wu…”

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

Two strong palace maids mixed a spoonful of lotus root powder mixed with ash and ice-cold water that had just been drawn from a deep well into a large jar. They pried open Yu Tingjin's mouth and poured the water into her stomach.

"This palace? You've been demoted to a commoner, so why are you still calling me this palace? Do you still think you're a concubine? It's time to wake up from this dream."

"Drink it, this is lotus root powder, it replenishes blood and nourishes the skin, it's the best for women. Drink more, it will nourish you, maybe one day you will recover."

"Yeah, drink it quickly, it's all yours."

Yu Tingjin was so drunk that tears streamed down his face and his stomach was visibly bulging.

After drinking half a jar of ice-cold water, she finally couldn't help it and vomited with a "wow", choking herself and making herself breathless.

“What a waste.”

"There's still half left, keep drinking."

The two palace maids waited until she recovered a little, held her down, and immediately poured more wine into her.

Yu Tingjin drank and vomited, vomited and drank, and after a few rounds, he lay on the ground with his eyes wide open, unable to even struggle.

"Who... who ordered you to do this? Was it... Fei Wan... that slutty maid... or that slutty Concubine Xian?"

The palace maid spat at her: "In this situation, you still dare to disrespect the master and the ladies. You deserve to die."

Yu Tingjin's dull eyes gradually turned into resentment.

These dog slaves!

When I find a way out, I will take your lives!

"Look, she seems to be scolding us."

"Really? Then continue."

The two maids, having received money from Changle Palace, naturally knew they would do their job well. So they brought a few more plates of rotten leftovers, pulled Yu Tingjin up, opened her mouth, and stuffed the food into her mouth.

I kindly advised: "Eat, eat more, and shut your mouth to prevent you from cursing!"

"Your Majesty, please eat more. This is the meal that the Queen Mother has specially ordered the kitchen to prepare for you, so that you can recover soon."

Chenqian Hall.

Some people also urged people to have a meal.

It was Miss Zheng Zhuyi, the fourth daughter of the Zheng clan, who had just been promoted to the rank of noble concubine.

The Empress Dowager ordered her to serve at the imperial court, and she came.

Emperor Xiao Yu sat at the table with a cold expression. The table was full of delicious dishes that were almost cold, but he didn't touch a single one with his chopsticks.

Zheng Zhuyi pretended not to see it, but just diligently urged the emperor to eat and even personally put food on the emperor's plate.

She took a bite of each of the eight dishes, including ten courses, two soups, and four plates, until the emperor's plate piled up like a small mountain. She stopped only after she had taken the last dish and stepped aside to pay her respects.

"Your Majesty, I have completed my mission for today. I am at your disposal."

The emperor chuckled coldly, "Sentence? You've done such a good job, I can't wait to reward you, Concubine Zheng."

He emphasized the word "Guipin" very strongly.

Zheng Zhuyi met his gaze and said, "Then please, Your Majesty, reward me with an intact body."

"Oh?"

"Your Majesty looks like he wants to cut me into pieces. I'm afraid of pain, so I beg for mercy. How about a white silk?"

"Then I will reward you with white silk, as you wish! Cao Bin, go get it!"

Cao Bin bowed to the side and hesitated for a moment, when the emperor gave him a stern look.

Cao Bin did not dare to delay any longer and immediately went to do his job. In a moment, he came back with a tray on which were neatly folded three-foot-long silk scarves.

"Noble Concubine Zheng, please."

The emperor said in a mocking tone.

Zheng Zhuyi straightened her back: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

She held up the white silk, looked around, and chose the partition frame in the inner hall. She walked directly over, moved a stool to step on it, placed the white silk on it, tied it, and put it around her neck.

Bang, the stool was kicked over.

The person was directly hung on the white silk.

The emperor's face changed.

Cao Bin rushed forward hurriedly.

Fei Wan, who had been standing quietly by the side, also quickly showed a panicked look and screamed.

But I thought to myself, Miss Zheng Si is amazing.

More daring than the queen.

She is also better at controlling men than the queen.

Tsk!

It's a pity that she is so young. Why does she have to run to the palace to steal men instead of doing something else?
