Inside the palace.

"Xiao Cui, what method do you think I should use to make Xu Jiu's child miscarry? The baby is getting bigger and bigger now. If this continues, it will be harder than climbing to heaven for me to get rid of the child."

"Your Majesty, I think we don't need to deal with Xu Jiu anymore. After all, isn't Xu Jiu always accompanied by Shangguan Tian'er and Chunfeng? Although I haven't experienced Chunfeng's martial arts skills firsthand, since she's someone close to the Princess, I feel that she..."

Before she could finish speaking, Murong Xueqi slapped Xiao Cui across the face. Xiao Cui was so startled by the slap that she fell to her knees with a thud. "Your Majesty, I'm only saying these things for your own good, Your Majesty. Why can't you understand this?"

She said all this for Murong Xueqi's own good, even though Murong Xueqi's health was indeed quite serious.

However, if properly cared for, there should be no major problems in the next ten years. Why did you have to harm Xu Jiu's child?

"I want to ask you, if it weren't for Xu Jiu, why would I be suffering like this now? If Xu Jiu hadn't pushed me that day, how could I have fallen into the lotus pond and caught a cold?"

As for Murong Xueqi, she truly had no good feelings towards Xu Jiu. Not only did she have no good feelings, but she also felt a bit of disgust towards him.

If possible, I would rather Xu Jiu die before her, at least then someone would accompany her on this journey to the underworld.

The weather outside is quite nice these days, and Xu Jiu feels a bit stuffy staying in Fanghua Palace. "I'd like to go for a walk. I wonder how you two feel about it?"

They suddenly heard Xu Jiu say this and exchanged glances. Shangguan Tian'er glanced at the weather, which was indeed very nice. Staying in Fanghua Palace all the time would be like being confined.

"Since you wish to go out for a walk, we will all accompany you. You will accompany her to the Imperial Garden, but you can only stay there for half an hour."

When Xu Jiu heard that it was half an hour, she nodded slightly. For her, half an hour was enough.

Xu Jiu then turned her gaze to Shangguan Tian'er. "You've been taking care of me all this time, it must have been quite tiring."

"Sister, what are you saying? Everything we've done is for the sake of the Princess. Besides, your health is very important, isn't it? We all hope that you can be safe and sound."

All of them genuinely hoped that Xu Jiu would be safe and sound, and didn't want anything to happen to him.

Hearing what they were saying, Xu Jiu must have felt very happy at that moment.

It is truly a wonderful thing to have met them in this lifetime.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I wanted to tell you."

Just then, Xu Jiu took out a jewelry box containing all sorts of jewelry.

"I don't have much to give you. All I can offer are these things, which I brought from my own country. I hope you all like them."

Just as he was about to take the item out and hand it to Shangguan Tian'er and the others, he was unexpectedly stopped by both Shangguan Tian'er and Chunfeng.

"You should keep these things here. After all, none of us think they're of much use, and besides, none of us have anything we need."

As luck would have it, Murong Xueqi also arrived at the Imperial Garden. The moment Murong Xueqi saw Xu Jiu, Shangguan Tian'er and the others felt that their opportunity had arrived.

The opportunity has come, so we must seize it and not let it go to waste.

She believes that she can now firmly grasp this opportunity.

She then focused her attention directly on Shangguan Tian'er and Xu Jiu.

Shangguan Tian'er noticed that someone seemed to be watching them, so she turned around and was surprised to see Murong Xueqi. Murong Xueqi walked right up to them.

"I never imagined it would be such a coincidence to see my sisters here."

Shangguan Tian'er clearly disliked Murong Xueqi, and was undoubtedly staring at her with a cold expression. "I want to ask you, how did you end up here? What is your purpose in coming here?"

"Sister, what are you saying? There's no need for you to be so wary of me. I just happened to see you all here, so I came over to say hello."

Shangguan Tian'er felt that Murong Xueqi was being very pretentious, only knowing how to use tears to gain pity.

But upon closer reflection, it seems that Qin Yanling has always liked this type of woman, hasn't he?

The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't understand why Qin Yanling would do this...

Then Qin Yanling couldn't help but sneeze in the imperial study.

He sensed it; it seemed like someone was talking about him.

But they didn't know who this person was.

When Xiao Li saw Qin Yanling sneezing, he must have gotten her a cloak. As soon as he got to Qin Yanling, he draped the cloak over her shoulders.

"Your Majesty, the weather has been a bit chilly lately, so you should take good care of yourself. Otherwise, it would be bad to catch a cold."

"It's alright. I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere. You don't need to worry too much about taking the cloak away. I don't need these cloaks."

Little Li then had no choice but to take the cloak away, while Qin Yanling looked at the memorials on the table. Although he had reviewed some of them, there were still others to review.

More importantly, a portion of what was written in this memorial concerned trivial matters that were not worth mentioning.

After that, Qin Yanling decided that he should have a good talk with the officials in the court, and that trivial matters should not be written in the memorials.

Otherwise, if this continues for a long time, all that will be left is empty talk.
