"Sister Noble is helping the Empress manage the six palaces, so I think she must have some influence. Please have mercy on me and save me. Otherwise, in this cold winter, I will really freeze to death in the palace..."

Chu promised to cry miserably.

A trace of impatience rose in Deguiren's heart, but his expression was more concerned.

"Do you really mean what you said? Did the Imperial Household Department really deduct your share?"

Chu agreed and nodded quickly, thinking that there was hope.

"Sister Noble, how could I dare to lie to you about something like this? It's absolutely true and cannot be false."

A trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"I just promised not to know. Even if I wanted to help, I wouldn't know where to start..."

Chu agreed and was stunned.

Weren't you filled with righteous indignation before?

How come you can’t help me in the blink of an eye?

"My dear sister?"

With a light sigh, Noble Lady De continued, "You may not know, but back in the Old Summer Palace, I did help the Empress with some simple tasks. But after I became pregnant, the Imperial Physician said keeping the baby safe was the most important thing, so I haven't been involved in palace affairs for a long time."

"Nowadays, most of the affairs of the six palaces are handled by Concubine Zhao who helps the Empress..."

Chu agreed and remained silent.

It took a while to react, "Is that so..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he continued, "I am sorry for being so abrupt. I had not thought of this. Please forgive me, my dear sister."

Even though the matter did not come to fruition, Chu Da Ying did not show any dissatisfaction at all.

This made De Guiren look at the other person with a higher opinion.

After a pause, he continued, "But such a matter cannot be let off lightly. If agreeing to it is too difficult, I will send someone to the Yikun Palace to see if I can ask Concubine Zhao to speak up. This will also make the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs restrain themselves a little."

If it's really hard...

Isn't this rejection?

Chu agreed and understood the meaning of the other party's words.

He turned his head to look at the palace gate, a hint of anxiety flashed across his brows.

But he did not immediately respond to De Guiren's words.

Seeing the other party acting so strangely, De Guiren was a little surprised. "Sister?"

Chu Da Ying's eyes flashed, and he put on a helpless smile.

"My dear sister, you are pregnant. How could I trouble you to go to Yikun Palace in person just for a simple charcoal fire?"

"Never mind. Winter will eventually pass. Sister, you don't have to worry about me."

The corners of Noble De's mouth twitched.

What she meant was to ask someone to go to Yikun Palace.

But when Chu Da Ying said it, it became that he wanted him to go there in person.

This person really knows how to find trouble for himself.

only…

What a joke, who would do something that would not benefit them at all?

Regardless of whether Zhaopin would speak up for Chu if she really went there,

If such a thing were spoken of, wouldn't it be questioning Concubine Zhao's power in the palace?

After all, no one had ever spoken about this before.

Now that Concubine Zhao is assisting in the management of the six palaces, there are many loopholes.

This is not dissatisfaction with the servants of the Imperial Household Department.

But he was dissatisfied with Concubine Zhao.

Even if Noble Lady De had the support of the Queen Mother, she would never do such a thing just for Chu's consent.

So I sighed softly.

Nodding, "Sister is right. We really shouldn't be too hasty. Let's go find Concubine Zhao."

"It's impossible to live without charcoal in winter, but my share is not much. Baolian, please take out half a frame of red charcoal and give it to Chu Da Ying. It will be a token of my appreciation."

Bao Lian agreed, but Chu Da Ying waved his hands repeatedly.

"Sister Noble, you can't do this. You're pregnant, and this is the time when you should take good care of your baby. How can you take away your share just because of me?"

"That's not necessary. The charcoal just produces more smoke. It can be used anyway."

But she was feeling dissatisfied in her heart.

I was just being polite, why did Mr. De take it so seriously?

After all, he is someone I cannot confide in...

But on second thought, this was not the purpose of my today.

There was less resentment in my heart.

This person came to the door but came back empty-handed. It would not look good if it got out.

De Guiren put down the teacup she had just taken a sip of and said, "Don't be polite, sister. It's just half a frame of red charcoal. I can use it quickly. It's fine. Don't refuse it, sister."
