As soon as Queen Yan saw He Shuangying's expression, she knew what she was thinking.

In the past few years in the harem, there have been many people who secretly hate me.

Now they don’t even know that it’s getting moldy in that corner!

Queen Yan ignored He Shuangying and went straight to the side hall.

Waiting for the emperor to leave court.

She stayed here to prevent the news of He Shuangying's promotion from getting out.

As long as the imperial edict is not issued, this matter is as good as nothing.

After Queen Yan led her people into the side hall, He Shuangying was still standing there, about to cry and gritting her teeth.

Cao Bin's adopted son, Cui Liang, stood among the eunuchs outside the palace. He glanced at the side hall, then stepped forward and said to He Shuangying, "My lady, why don't you go back to your own palace and rest?"

It looks like he is chasing people away.

But he warned in a very low voice: "Go ahead and intercept His Majesty!"

After saying that, he returned to his original position and stood.

He Shuangying secretly glanced at him with gratitude.

She slowly turned around, walked down the jade steps, and returned to the harem.

However, he took a detour and walked quickly forward on the road leading from the harem to Shanglin Garden.

She remembered a road leading from Shanglin Garden to the front court. As long as she headed for the Golden Throne Hall and blocked the emperor's path on his way back from court, she could get him to pass the decree of her promotion to the harem, making it a fait accompli. Then, she wouldn't have to worry about Empress Yan's interference.

Because even if the emperor was stopped and persuaded by Empress Yan, he would not take back the order he had already issued.

Take time!

He Shuangying quickened her pace.

But when he was passing through a willow forest, he suddenly felt a pain in his knee, his legs went weak, and he fell down.

She was walking so fast that she fell suddenly and was badly injured.

He fell to the ground and rolled twice, with his forehead bruised.

One of his legs was so painful from the fall that he couldn't move.

“Come…someone…”

She instantly broke down in tears.

"Damn you! None of you came to serve me. I don't know where you all went!"

She scolded the palace maids and eunuchs who refused to follow her.

He completely forgot that he had just left them in the harem and forbade them to follow.

At this time, there was no one around, only a forest with yellow branches and leaves, rustling as the wind blew.

He Shuangying was filled with fear and pain. She screamed a few times, even singing in a high-pitched opera voice, but no one paid any attention. Originally, when Shanglin Garden was not occupied by its masters, it was only guarded by a circle of imperial guards and a few palace servants who tended to the flowers, trees, and birds.

The place is vast and sparsely populated, so where can she find anyone to help her?

He Shuangying could only hold her injured leg and sit on the ground crying.

Very sad.

Behind a tree in the distance, the palace maid Jasmine took another look at the crying person over there, then turned and left quietly.

After taking a detour back to Chunxi Palace, Jasmine entered the hall and reported to Feiwan privately.

When she was returning from delivering something to Concubine Qing's palace, she saw He Cainu sneaking towards Shanglin Garden and dismissing the palace maids who were following her.

If you feel something is wrong, just follow them quietly.

Seeing her running fast in the woods, he threw a stone at her and knocked her down.

"She can't get up for a while, so she can't do anything bad she wants to do."

"Where is the Queen?" Fei Wan asked.

Jasmine said that she had not seen her return to the harem yet, so she must still be in the Chenqian Palace in front.

Fei Wan casually rummaged through the dressing table, gave Jasmine a silver bracelet as a reward, and sent her away.

Asking Jasmine to deliver something to Concubine Qing was actually to see if Empress Yan had gone to Chenqian Palace to stop He's promotion. Because going from Fengming Palace to Chenqian Palace would pass by Concubine Qing's bedroom.

Let Jasmine, who is good at martial arts and quick on her feet, go and find out what's going on so that Fei Wan can prepare for the next step.

Unexpectedly, Jasmine happened to intercept He Shuangying's action.

The decree of promotion had not been issued yet, and Queen Yan was still in front of the emperor, but He Shuangying ran to the front in a hurry. It seemed that she was probably going to persuade His Majesty in advance?

Now let’s see how she can get there first.
