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

He Shuangying smiled faintly when she heard the eunuch who delivered medicine to the emperor say that he was just doing his job and was not serving in the palace, so he didn't know what the emperor had said.

These slaves are always cunning.

He changes with the wind and flatters the powerful and bullies the weak.

Even if I knew what His Majesty had said, I would not tell her easily.

Who made her weak?

He Shuangying asked the young eunuch to leave.

"Go ahead. Remember to report to His Majesty that although my knee is injured, I can handle it perfectly. No need to send me medicine for sprains or anything like that. Otherwise, the one in the main hall might get upset and cause trouble for me."

Her tone was sarcastic, and the young eunuch didn't dare to say a word. He bowed respectfully and left quickly.

"You guys, why haven't you left yet? The Imperial Household Department really doesn't take a mere concubine like me seriously."

He Shuangying turned around and stared at the eunuchs and palace maids in front of her.

There were three palace maids and three eunuchs, all of whom were sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve her, but she despised them as stupid.

She asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to replace the person, but before that could be done, she was punished by Fei Wan and made to kneel. The matter has not been resolved until now.

How could it not be that the Imperial Household Department was going too far?

"My lord, we servants are willing to serve you. Please leave us here!"

Several palace maids and eunuchs knelt down and begged to stay.

It's not that they are willing to serve her, but they are afraid that this matter will cause trouble for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the stewards or the head will be angry with them.

He Shuangying said, "If it were before, I might have felt sorry for you, but now that Concubine Zhao is putting so much pressure on me, I have to step out and change my status as a servant. Otherwise, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and even the people in the palace, will no longer take me seriously. If you want to blame someone, blame Concubine Zhao!"

Several palace maids pleaded in vain and had no choice but to accept their fate.

He Shuangying pointed at the young palace maid running errands and said, "Take this bottle of medicine to the main hall. Tell her that His Majesty heard that I was punished to kneel, so he sent me medicine for bruises. But I can bear the pain in my knees, but Concubine Zhao has many injuries and must need this medicine urgently, so I'm giving it to her."

The young palace maid took the medicine and hesitated to move forward.

Isn't this a deliberate provocation to Concubine Zhao?

He Shuangying's face darkened. "Why, you don't want to serve me?"

The little palace maid had no choice but to go.

He Shuangying returned to the house with a cold expression and sat on a chair to rest. She ordered someone to bring her some boiled eggs so that she could roll them over her swollen eyes.

"Your Majesty is busy with state affairs. Please send me medicine first. When you are done, you will definitely summon me. Although I do not want to serve you, I still have to be polite. It would be disrespectful to meet you with swollen eyes. Please quickly find some hot eggs. Find a few. When I have used them all, I will give them to you. You work all day long, and I am sure you can only eat a few eggs in a year."

The two eunuchs went to the imperial kitchen to ask for eggs.

They listened to whatever Miss He said, not daring to refute her. But in their hearts, they just found it funny.

They were palace maids under the Imperial Household Department, and their jobs were respectable, not like the Xinzheku laundry, where they were kept in the dark. Not to mention eggs, they could still eat meat and other such things a few times a month.

Although eggs are good, they are not greedy enough to eat the eggs that have been rubbed on their hands and rolled on their faces. There is no need to reward them!

Soon the eggs were found, and the little palace maid who had gone to Chunxi Palace to deliver the ointment also returned.

"Why did it take so long?"

He Shuangying was dissatisfied with the little palace maid's speed.

She rubbed the egg on her face with her bare hands, her orchid fingers moving gracefully. She asked Concubine Zhao what color the ointment was and what she said when she saw it.

The young palace maid replied cautiously, "My lady, I didn't see the Imperial Concubine. Eunuch Cao in the Imperial Court was ahead, delivering a reward to the Imperial Concubine. I didn't dare to compete with the Imperial Court, so I waited, and that's why I came back late..."

He Shuangying's expression changed. "Cao Bin? He's giving out rewards in the main hall? What rewards?"

The little palace maid stuttered and couldn't explain clearly.

He Shuangying told her to shut up.

"Stop talking! By the time you've been nagging, I've already walked to Chunxi Palace!"

He Shuangying stood up and went to the main hall.

She wanted to see for herself why the emperor didn't let Cao Bin give the reward to her, but gave it to Concubine Zhao instead.

She guessed, most likely...

It was Concubine Zhao who turned right into wrong and blamed the victim, and went to the emperor to report the wrongdoing before her.

She must go and verify it herself!
