If Su Mei is not in this palace, it only means that the one named Qiangwei lied, and there must be someone who stole the emperor's personal jade pendant.

"My Lady, it is my fault."

In fact, in the little eunuch's heart, Qiangwei has always been a dutiful person, and she would never do such a thing.

However, Lady Yang seemed to be looking for a scapegoat.

In this case, he had no choice but to pretend to be confused and keep admitting his mistakes.

Anyway, no one would care even if something happened to Qiangwei. She was just a little palace maid. There were thousands of people like her in the palace every year.

Upon hearing this, Lady Yang withdrew her gaze indifferently and ordered someone to bring Qiangwei over. She was feeling very angry at the moment and wanted to find a place to vent her anger.

After a while, the young eunuch brought Qiangwei in. Her body was covered with scars and she was pushed to the ground. She looked like she had suffered a lot.

"Didn't you say that this jade pendant was given to you by someone named Su Mei?"

Concubine Yang stepped on Qiangwei's hand, then stepped on it hard and asked, "But this eunuch said that there is no one named Su Mei in this palace, so who among you is lying?"

"Father-in-law..."

There was blood at the corners of Qiangwei's mouth, and the surging smell of rust made her feel uncomfortable. Her chest hurt, and it seemed that her bones were broken.

She tried hard to reach out to the eunuch in charge, her nose sore, and she begged him with difficulty, "Please save me..."

She knew the eunuch in charge wouldn't save her, but she still wanted to give it a try, just in case...

She was only thirteen years old and didn't want to die. When she turned sixteen, she could leave the palace, marry into a proper family, have children, and live a happy life.

……

Just when Qiangwei was about to despair, a cold voice came from the front, "My Lady, this servant is Su Mei."

I saw a pink shadow walking towards me from not far away, like the most beautiful peach blossom in spring. Even the most ordinary palace maid costume looked so stunning on her.

However, she covered her face with a white silk scarf, making it difficult to see her face. The only thing that was revealed was her eyes, which were as bright as water.

A glance and a smile make her look charming.

The eunuch in charge recognized the voice immediately, his face darkened instantly, and his heart was in a knot. Oh no, why is she here?

Su Mei and Qiangwei are different.

Qiangwei is just an insignificant little palace maid. Su Mei was brought into the palace by the emperor himself, and she has to report her itinerary to Eunuch Lai Fu every day. It can be seen that she is an important person in the emperor's heart.

If anything really happens, he is afraid that the emperor will punish him and he will not be able to bear it.

Concubine Yang looked at the palace maid who had come to her, and recognized from her voice which one she was that the emperor had brought into the palace.

Does this little palace maid really think she is special?

If the emperor really cared about her, how could he let her be a lowly palace maid just because of one word from her?

After all, the emperor still loves her the most, and Concubine Yang is very confident about this.

After all, she is from the future.

She has watched quite a few palace fighting dramas such as Desire of the Palace, Legend of Zhen Huan, and Scarlet Heart. Naturally, these ancient women cannot compare with her when it comes to winning the heart of an emperor.

Lady Yang did not notice that she had gradually begun to adapt to the hierarchy here and became a beneficiary.

"Did you give her this jade pendant?"

As Lady Yang spoke, she raised the jade pendant and asked Su Mei with raised eyebrows.

Su Mei took a quick look and saw that it was the jade pendant given to her by the emperor. She nodded and said, "This is a gift from me to Qiangwei."

"Where did you get this jade pendant?" Lady Yang asked again.

Su Mei thought for a moment before answering, "It was given to me by the Emperor."

After hearing her answer, Lady Yang looked at Su Mei with a mocking look, as if she had heard something funny.

"You mean the jade pendant was given to you by the emperor?"

"Yes……"

Su Mei answered again.

She was a little curious. It was just a jade pendant, so why was Lady Yang making such a fuss?

In this palace, it is not uncommon for the master to reward his servants.

Could it be that this Concubine Yang has some strange disease that causes her to be irritated by anything related to the emperor?

Su Mei's third sister once told her an example, saying that she once seduced a young general who had a very favored wife at home.

This wife was extremely jealous. If any of the women in the mansion said a word to the young general, she would beat them to death.

The third sister said that this is a disease called jealousy.

This Lady Yang probably also has this strange disease, so this is why she is like this. If it is really as she guessed, then it would be really difficult to deal with.

"Ah……"

Concubine Yang sneered. This little palace maid was really overestimating herself. She actually dared to say that this jade pendant was given to her by the emperor. I'm afraid she didn't know what this jade pendant symbolized.

"This jade pendant is usually given by a man to his beloved woman. According to what you said, the emperor is in love with you."

As she spoke, she glanced at Su Mei with disdain and said, "I don't know where you got the courage to say such things. You really don't know what you are capable of. And why are you covering your face? What's so shameful? Why are you being so mysterious?"

Her sarcastic ridicule was obviously effective, and the eunuchs and palace maids around her looked at Su Mei with a little more disdain.

This palace maid is so arrogant that she even dares to say that the emperor is in love with her. You should know how many beauties there are in the emperor's harem.

"My lady, I'm afraid she's just plain-looking and doesn't dare to show herself to others."

A little palace maid took a few steps forward and flattered Concubine Yang.

Upon hearing this, Lady Yang's tense mouth relaxed. Although she had only taken a quick glance that day and didn't see Su Mei's exact appearance, she looked generally pretty.

However, she did not stop the young palace maid Su Mei from belittling her. In her heart, this young palace maid was definitely not as pretty as her.

When the others saw that Concubine Yang was happy, they immediately started to speak out, all mocking Su Mei.

"That's right, is the emperor really someone an ugly freak like you can cling to?"

"Look at this palace. Who else would wear a veil like her? It's probably because they are too ugly. That's why they cover themselves up to avoid polluting other people's eyes."

……

The eunuchs and palace maids serving in the imperial study had all seen Su Mei, and they naturally knew how stunning the face beneath the veil was.

However, now that Lady Yang was here, they didn't dare to speak.

She just secretly complained in her heart that these people were a bunch of flatterers. If they saw Su Mei's true face, they would probably be so shocked that they would be speechless.

Compared to Su Mei, Lady Yang's appearance is not even worthy of carrying her shoes. Yet she dares to laugh at Su Mei here. She is simply overestimating herself.
