Only if Imperial Concubine Yu could stand out in the limelight could she survive. She even sacrificed herself for Imperial Concubine Yu to surpass all the other beauties...

Whenever she thought of this, a face and fragmented memories of the land temple kept appearing in her mind. She couldn't help but bite her red lips and cover her chest.

"My lady, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, no, I'm just a little bored. I'll go out and get some fresh air."

"My lady, can I accompany you?"

"Need not."

Soon, she walked into the yard alone carrying a lantern, her palace dress reaching the ground, quite grand.

At this moment, the lilies are blooming in the yard, the moonlight is bright, and it feels particularly lonely.

"call!"

Concubine Ya exhaled, shook her head, and warned herself to try hard not to think about what happened that day, but the more she did so, the more she couldn't help but think about it.

After a while, she was finally about to forget it, but the nightmare-like voice that had kept her tossing and turning for two nights suddenly rang out.

"Miss."

In the dead of night, a man's voice suddenly made Concubine Ya turn pale and scream...

boom!

Guan Ning was quick to act and covered her mouth from behind. Otherwise, with Yapin's loud voice, she would have attracted the imperial guards.

"Mmm..." She struggled violently.

"It's me, it's me, Your Majesty!" Guan Ning spoke quickly.

Concubine Ya turned her head, her eyes filled with shock again. Guan Ning's inexplicable appearance under the moonlight seemed as if he had fallen from the sky, which was extremely unreal.

For a moment, she thought she was hallucinating, but the warm touch and the real eye contact told her that this was not a dream.

She panicked, grabbed Guan Ning's hand, lowered her voice, and asked impatiently: "Why are you here?"

"You are crazy!"

"This is the harem. If anyone sees this, neither you nor I will survive!"

"How did you get in? Why are you dressed like that?"

She spoke incoherently, and her rather noble and intellectual face was filled with panic.

Guan Ning smiled bitterly, feeling as if he was having an affair: "It's okay, there's no one here, I've already checked."

"I came here because..."

Before he could finish his words, Concubine Ya, who was extremely frightened, grabbed him and took him under a hidden tree.

"You, what are you doing here again?" She frowned and her eyes were evasive, not knowing how to face Guan Ning.

Guan Ning said bluntly: "Do you remember the last time we were framed and nearly doomed?"

"Didn't I tell you not to mention it?" Concubine Ya frowned.

"I've discovered that both you and I have been betrayed. The people on my side, as well as the eunuch in the palace who spread lies, have all been sent to their deaths by me."

"There's only one left."

Concubine Ya was shocked. How could he dare to kill the eunuchs in the palace, and do it so easily?

"Who's the last one?"

"Your personal maid." Guan Ning blurted out.

"Impossible!" Concubine Ya shook her head. "She has been with me since she was a child. I regard her as my own sister. There is no way she would betray me."

Guan Ning raised an eyebrow: "You only have one personal maid?"

Yapin nodded.

"That's her."

"I said it's impossible!"

"Call her over and I'll tell after trying." Guan Ning said calmly.

His calmness made Yapin feel a little uneasy. Guan Ning would not risk his life for nothing. Could it really be Xiaoqing?

He raised his head slightly: "What are you going to do?"

"..."

After a while, the palace maid Xiaoqing came. She was about twenty years old and had a very sweet appearance.

"Slave, please see your Majesty."

Yapin glanced in a certain direction, hesitated, and then handed over the note in her hand: "Find a way to go out and deliver this letter to Yueji Building."

Xiaoqing's eyes flashed when she heard this, and she asked in surprise, "My Lady, are you still going to the Rose Tower?"

"Just go and send it off if I tell you to. Don't ask too many questions." Yapin said, praying in her heart, Xiaoqing, I treat you like a sister, please don't let me down. If you let me down, who else in this world is worthy of my trust?

"Yes, my lady, I'll go right away." Xiaoqing nodded heavily, then picked up her skirt and trotted away very quickly.

Seeing this, Yapin suddenly felt guilty for no reason. How could the little girl who had been with her for more than ten years betray her? She didn't believe it!
