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

Although puzzled, Yu Sujin responded quickly and immediately agreed with the Queen Mother.

She stepped forward and took Zhishu's arm, saying sincerely, "If Sister Ying stays in Ciyun Palace, then we sisters can keep each other company, and I can have the opportunity to serve you."

"Who wants you to serve me?"

Zhishu pushed Yu Sujin away, feeling disgusted with her. "Stay away from me. You smell like Concubine Zhao, it's disgusting."

Yu Sujin looked aggrieved, "Sister..."

"Who is your sister? The one in Chunxi Palace who is suspected of murdering a concubine and the heir to the throne, yet still has the favor of His Majesty, is your sister."

Zhishu spoke with hatred, and her eyes turned red as she spoke.

"We share the same background, and were both favored at the same time, but how can I compare to your sister? She became the daughter of a minister in the palace in the blink of an eye, and rose all the way to become a concubine assisting in the harem. The whole palace is filled with her sisters, and everyone praises her kindness. But I, pregnant with the royal heir, have only just reached the age of beauty, and it was only after she proposed that the palace be combined with the imperial concubines that I was given this status. Oh, now that I have a miscarriage, has His Majesty ever visited me? Instead, he often goes to the side of the suspected Concubine Zhao, staying overnight at Chunxi Palace again and again, and showering her with rewards. I made a scene before the emperor, but it was just a waste of time. His Majesty gave me a few words of comfort, then got tired of me and let me go. You still call me sister? You should hurry to Chunxi Palace and recognize your own sister!"

Zhishu has always been sharp-tongued.

No matter who it is, they dare to exclude it.

Now he is full of grievances, and every word of his accusation is sharp.

Although she was scolding Fei Wan, Yu Sujin was the first to bear the brunt of the scolding and was scolded so hard that she didn't even dare to raise her head.

After a long pause, she only murmured, "... Concubine Zhao, she blamed me for suggesting that she be sent to the Palace Office, and she hasn't been close to me lately."

Zhishu spat, "You deserve it! Who told you not to recognize her true face earlier!"

He continued, "But she doesn't care about you, so don't get in my way here. I get annoyed whenever I see someone with the surname Yu. Leave Ciyun Palace, leave now."

Yu Sujin's eyes were red, and she said pitifully, "Sister Ying, I have served the Queen Mother for several days. You can't drive me away just because you come... I have never done anything wrong to you. Why do you have to vent your anger on me because of Concubine Zhao..."

Zheng Zhuyi was still tied to the ground.

At this time, Xifeng was following Concubine Hui and was not guarding her, so she spoke again.

She shouted at Zhishu, "Don't be soft-hearted just because Concubine Yu is pitiful. She's very good at pretending. But there's no need to chase her away. I brought her here."

"Who do you think you are!" Zhishu glared at Zheng Zhuyi and didn't take her seriously at all.

Several people were arguing with each other and the scene was chaotic.

A smile of ambiguous meaning suddenly flashed across the empress dowager's gloomy face.

It’s chaos, chaos is good.

The messier the better.

The Concubine Kang beside her was so anxious that she kept rubbing her handkerchief: "Oh, what are you doing? Ciyun Palace is not a place for you to make noise and chaos. Now it's only me and Concubine Shun who are taking care of the harem. You should all take care of us two and avoid causing more trouble! Concubine Hui, can you and I leave here first? If Ying Ronghua wants to stay, let her stay. Don't come over here again..."

Can you please stop provoking the Queen Mother?

As he was speaking, he heard the eunuch's announcement from outside: "Empress Yue has arrived—"

Everyone was a little surprised.

Isn’t Concubine Yue still recuperating from her injuries? Why is she coming here at this time? Can she get out of bed?

In a blink of an eye, a modified bamboo couch was carried in, and Concubine Yue lay on it and entered the courtyard of Ciyu Palace.

"I heard Concubine Hui is showing off here. I've come to see the fun too. Last time the palace was sealed, I missed the fun. I was so sorry. I can't miss it this time."

Her hair was not combed, just tied in a loose bun, with most of her black hair hanging down. She was wearing casual clothes and a thin quilt covering her body to block the wind.

He had obviously rushed here after hearing the news.

I saw Zheng Zhuyi tied up like a dumpling.

Concubine Yue laughed immediately: "Oh, is this Concubine Hui's work? It's quite beautiful. We don't need to cook rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival next year. We can chop up Concubine Zheng's big rice dumpling and eat it. I'm afraid she has a bad heart and the meat is smelly and can't be eaten!"

Concubine Hui squinted and asked, "Are you just worried about the world being in chaos?"

"Yes, I've been lying in bed all day recovering from my injuries, and I'm very irritable. Only when I see others feeling unwell can I feel better." Concubine Yue's brows hardened, and she glanced coldly at everyone in the courtyard. "Every one of these people is related to my injuries. I really hope you can go crazy and beat them all up. If that happens, it will be much more interesting than any drama, don't you think, Concubine Kang?"

He was talking to Concubine Hui at first, and mentioned Concubine Kang in the last sentence, which scared Concubine Kang.

Seeing that Concubine Yue had gotten involved, the situation became more and more chaotic, and Concubine Kang just wanted to go back to Lincui Palace to rest.

On the other side, when Zhishu saw Concubine Yue, her face became even colder.

"Noble Concubine Yue, you met the Queen Mother and didn't even ask for formalities?"

Concubine Yue turned around and looked at Zhishu in surprise, her eyes flickering back and forth between Zhishu and the Empress Dowager. "What's the matter? After your miscarriage, has your mind gone haywire? You've distanced yourself from the wrong people and become close to the wrong ones? I'm covered in wounds, how can I even perform a formal ceremony? When His Majesty came to Changle Palace to check on me a few days ago, he told me to lie down and not move. Is there anyone greater than His Majesty in this world who deserves my greetings despite my injuries?"

He was almost pointing at the Empress Dowager's nose and scolding her.

Nanny Shixiang beside the Empress Dowager frowned and shouted, "Your Highness, please don't go too far!"

Concubine Yue sneered, "Is this too much? When the stick hit me, I didn't know who was wrong! I will never forget the humiliation I suffered that day. I will not be able to rest until I have my revenge."

The Empress Dowager stared at me in a menacing manner and asked in a deep voice, "Noble Concubine Yue, do you hate me? How do you intend to take revenge?"

Zhishu said, "Look at the look in her eyes. She might want to kill you. From what I see, both Concubine Hui and Concubine Yue have come with ill intentions today."

The Queen Mother stared solemnly at the haughty Concubine Yue.

"I am now trapped in Ciyun Palace, and everyone can come and act recklessly."

Zhishu sneered, "I don't care about power, I only care about who truly helps me and who is hypocritical and secretly plotting against me. Even if the Queen Mother is in trouble, I am willing to serve you. As for those who are close to Concubine Zhao, no matter how powerful and arrogant they are, I dare to fight them."

She looked around and saw a pair of small gilded scissors for pruning flowers and trees on the small stone table over there.

He immediately walked over, grabbed it in his hand, and ran straight to Zheng Zhuyi.

Zheng Zhuyi trembled: "...What are you doing?! I'm not on the same side as Concubine Zhao!"

Zhishu said disdainfully: "Look at your courage!"

With a few clicks, the ropes on her body were cut, and she was pulled up from the ground.

"Although I despise you very much, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Turning to Consort Yue and Consort Hui, he said, "How else do you want to cause trouble? How else do you want to watch the fun? Come on, just come on."

Zhishu's face was as cold as frost. She held the scissors and glanced at them coldly.

Concubine Yue was so disappointed that she said, "You fool! You've made me your enemy. I've blinded your eyes!"

He then asked Concubine Hui if she had any more rope.

"Tie them all up and give them a good beating one by one."

Shixiang Ma Ma shouted, "Noble Concubine, have you forgotten where you are? You are not allowed to give orders so recklessly in front of the Empress Dowager!"

Concubine Yue narrowed her eyes and said, "Concubine Hui, do you have the guts to catch that old bastard Shixiang and give him a good beating?"

"I don't have the guts."

"...?"

"But the late emperor had courage."

Concubine Yue glared at her and asked, "What about the late emperor?"

"I'll go back and invite you."

Concubine Hui once again scanned the room with disgust, frowning as she said, "This place is so chaotic I want to hit someone. For your safety, I'd better go back and ask the late emperor to write a letter to punish you."

Yu Sujin asked weakly, "Can the late emperor's handwriting be taken out and used casually?"

"The Empress Dowager refused to repent despite being confined by the late Emperor. Today, she even assaulted a concubine with her own hands. Now, I'm asking for the late Emperor's handwritten letter. How can I call it 'casual'? I was forced to do so!"

Concubine Hui spoke with confidence, threw down a few ropes, and turned around and left with her men.

Even his back showed his disdain for everyone here.

Concubine Yue didn't leave. She smiled at the ropes left by Concubine Hui and ordered the palace servants around her to start working: "Tie up Concubine Zheng, Ying Ronghua, Concubine Yu, and that old woman Shixiang!"

The Queen Mother was furious: "Who dares!"

Concubine Yue gritted her teeth and sneered, "The Empress Dowager should return to her room and reflect on her actions so that the late Emperor can rest assured. I will be the one to discipline these unruly concubines and servants. Go ahead!"

The palace maids from Changle Palace that she brought with her rushed forward.

Zheng Zhuyi and the others were no match for them and were quickly tied up. The servants from Ciyun Palace went to protect Madam Shixiang, but the people from Changle Palace were like wolves and tigers. After a shove and a scuffle, they forcibly pulled Madam Shixiang out from the crowd and tied her up with ropes.

He also blocked the mouths of several people.

Concubine Yue said with satisfaction, "Very good. Without their noise, my ears are much quieter. There are still two ropes left. You can tie up whoever you think is the most dishonest."

The palace servants of Changle Palace responded in unison, staring at the people of Ciyu Palace with eager eyes.

Everyone in Ciyu Palace was frightened and became timid.

They were used to the empress dowager's majesty and had never seen such unruly behavior. They didn't know what to do for a moment.

The Queen Mother's face became even gloomier with anger.

"Noble Concubine Yue, Ciyun Palace won't be closed forever. You must leave yourself a way out."

Concubine Yue raised her eyebrows and smiled, "When someone sent someone to torture me, did they think about their own escape route? As long as Concubine Hui's letter from the late emperor is here, I will never be able to leave Ciyun Palace. Instead of threatening me, you should think carefully about how to beg for mercy from Concubine Hui when she arrives."

As they were speaking, Concubine Hui arrived again.

"Here is the handwritten letter from the late emperor!"

"The Queen Mother continues to disrupt the palace. She is ordered to leave the palace for three days to recuperate. She is not allowed to return without the emperor's order."

"Zheng Guipin and the others are aiding and abetting the tyrant. Each of them will be punished with ten strokes of the cane. Execute immediately!"

Xifeng stepped forward, took the wooden board, and hit Zheng Zhuyi, Zhishu, Yu Sujin, and Shixiang ten times on the shoulder each.

Beat it hard.

Concubine Kang stared at him with her eyes wide open.

She swore she had never seen such chaos.
