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

"Look! Look! The Queen really wants me dead. She wants to kill me!"

After hearing what Empress Yan said, He Shuangying cried even louder.

Empress Yan's servant said coldly, "You are the daughter of a traitor. His Majesty has promoted you. You should be thankful for His Majesty's grace and behave yourself. Instead, you are slandering the Empress! Have you forgotten the rules you learned in the Palace Administration? Then go learn them again!"

Having said that, he ordered someone to take He Shuangying to the Palace Administration Office.

Before coming here, this palace maid had received orders from Empress Yan that if the situation was not right, she could handle it at her discretion. Therefore, she had enough courage to punish He Shuangying as a palace maid.

He Shuangying struggled violently.

The maids at Shanglin Garden were unable to restrain her, and she struggled to break free. The lake was just a few steps away, but she didn't jump into it. Instead, she turned and ran.

"Stop her, catch her and send her to the Palace Administration Office!"

Empress Yan's servants ordered the maids they brought in. The people from Fengming Palace were more daring than the servants from Shanglin Garden.

Two palace maids chased after He Shuangying and tackled her. Using great force, they pushed her to the ground. Lacking a rope, they tied several handkerchiefs together and bound He Shuangying's hands behind her back.

He Shuangying fought back desperately and kicked a palace maid so hard that she covered her stomach and squatted aside for a long time without being able to get up.

Yu Sujin and Xiang Yi brought their men and caught up with them and walked up to them.

Yu Sujin concealed her dislike for He Shuangying, sighed softly, and said, "How did it get to this point? What happened? Has the imperial physician arrived? Quickly give her some medicine to calm her down, or she won't hurt herself."

"I won't take the medicine. You guys are trying to poison me! You guys are really on the same page with Consort Zhao. You guys are trying to kill me! You guys are so powerful in the harem..."

Before He Shuangying finished speaking, a deep male voice came from the bushes.

"Who is covering the sky with one hand, and who wants to poison you?"

"His Majesty?!"

He Shuangying's shouting stopped abruptly.

He looked in the direction of the sound in surprise.

The winding gravel road led to a sedan chair. The emperor sat on it, wearing a cloak and looking sullen.

Surrounded by palace maids, he came quietly to the crowd without making any sound of footsteps.

"I was just about to propose you a title, but you acted so recklessly. I'm really disappointed!"

The emperor's rebuke made He Shuangying's face change drastically.

Her crying and screaming just now turned into a pitiful and aggrieved look with tears in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, I was just frightened..."

"Your Majesty, I was truly frightened. Fortunately, you are here."

Yu Sujin interrupted He Shuangying in time and rushed to the emperor, clutching her chest with a look of fear on her face. Her watery eyes, like a frightened deer, gazed at the emperor with attachment.

She also had a tearful look, but she looked much more beautiful than He Shuangying, who was tied up on the ground with disheveled hair.

The emperor's gaze stopped on Yu Sujin.

His tone softened a bit: "Are you scared?"

"That's right. It's all my fault..." Yu Sujin covered her face with her handkerchief, lowered her head and wiped away her nonexistent tears. She sighed, "Since entering the palace, I've never seen anything like this. I almost thought the He family's sister had gone crazy, so I had to rush to find the imperial physician... Your Majesty, is she okay?"

"What could possibly happen to her!"

Behind the emperor, a person came out.

It was Zhishu, who was dressed simply.

She took a few steps forward and stood next to the delicate Yu Sujin. They were like spring flowers and autumn moons, each with its own charm, which made the embarrassed He Shuangying look even more miserable.

And Zhishu's next words also made He Shuangying secretly shocked.

"There's a folk saying that if a family member dies, ghosts can possess the living, causing them to become seriously ill or insane, requiring monks and Taoist priests to perform rituals to suppress their spirits. But our palace is overflowing with dragon energy, and with the aura of Your Majesty reigning supreme, what ghost would dare possess a human? Besides, the ghosts in her family are all guilty, having long since been judged in the underworld. So, her antics aren't caused by ghosts, but purely by her own will!"

Zhishu kept scolding him, and He Shuangying tried to interrupt him several times but had no chance.

She didn't dare to cry and make a fuss in front of the emperor. From a purely logical point of view, what she did just now was not reasonable.

After Zhishu finally finished speaking, she quickly struggled to her feet, staggering and crying, "Your Majesty, I was murdered. Someone tried to push me into the water! I clearly saw that the person was a eunuch in the Queen's palace! Imperial Concubine Zhao refused to come to my rescue and only called Imperial Concubine Min. Imperial Concubine Min also insisted on giving me medicine. She bullied me just like the Queen's people. Please, Your Majesty, take action!"

Yu Sujin did not argue.

He has inherited Fei Wan's true teachings.

She just stood aside, gentle and dignified, looking at He Shuangying and shaking her head helplessly, like an adult watching a child misbehaving.

This "virtue" is better than a thousand words of rebuttal.

It would only make He Shuangying seem to be making groundless guesses.

This time it was Zhishu who spoke again: "Your Majesty, please look at me, am I right? She is just angry and bites whoever she catches."

As he spoke, he took two steps forward and came in front of He Shuangying.

"I'm telling you, Your Majesty was invited here by me. I heard you were making trouble here, and no one could control you, so I had no choice but to ask Your Majesty to come and punish you. Don't you hate everyone you meet? Then if you hate me, you can also accuse me of a crime. Let's see whether Your Majesty trusts you or me, and whether he favors you or me!"

After saying that, he hummed softly.

Arrogance is revealed.

An attitude of being arrogant because of being favored.

This would not be appropriate for anyone else, except Zhishu, who has never taken anyone seriously. So once she put the favor on the table, she did not seem arrogant at all.

Instead, she has the cuteness of a stubborn girl who is angry.

The emperor was a little angry when he heard He Shuangying crying here, but now he couldn't help but smile after hearing what Zhishu said.

He looked at Zhishu with amusement.

Zhishu felt the emperor's gaze, and glanced at him sideways with a cold look on her face and a spirited look in her eyes.

There was a hint of provocation and anger in his eyes.

For some reason, the emperor was reminded of a night when she stayed in Chenqian Palace.

At this time, He Shuangying suddenly cried out: "Why are you all bullying me? Those people in the He family made mistakes, but I didn't. Why are you targeting me..."

Disturbing the emperor's aftertaste.

The emperor frowned.

He immediately gave the order: "Send He to the Imperial Hospital and send her back after she calms down."

When Zhishu heard this, the corners of her lips raised coldly.

There was a hint of icy provocation in her eyes. She gave the emperor a meaningful look and then looked away.

The charming exchange between the eyes has been completed.

The emperor thought: I just promoted and favored a woman named He, and Concubine Ying is jealous. As her jealousy grew, Concubine Ying became more lively and beautiful.

Zhishu thought: How dare a mere He pick a fight with Sister Zhao! Is it because I haven't been rude to anyone lately that people have forgotten that Sister Zhao still has me?
