The host ruthlessly crushes scum in the small world

Lin Chuhua was putting on her makeup in front of the mirror, surrounded by her personal maids, those who had always been by her side. Therefore, Lin Chuhua made no attempt to conceal her identity.

Moreover, everyone in the palace probably already knows about this. Hearing this, Lin Chuhua realized the Emperor was likely about to fly into a rage again.

"What's wrong with her?"

This morning, Mu Qingqing looked in the mirror and noticed that her face wasn't as radiant as usual. It looked like it was covered with a layer of something. She washed it frantically with water, scrubbing until her skin was red, but it still didn't return to its original state.

Just then, a maidservant urged Mu Qingqing to hurry to the Empress's palace to pay her respects, which angered Mu Qingqing so much that she smashed several expensive ornaments.

"Sister, you don't know what Consort Qing looks like."

As for Lin Chuyun, she already knew last night, after all, she had Chen Lingmo's system, and the emperor didn't go to Mu Qingqing's palace last night, but instead returned to the Hall of Diligent Governance.

"You can only say these things to me. If outsiders hear them and they reach His Majesty's ears, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you."

Speak of the devil and he appears; the emperor walked right in from outside the door.

"Queen!"

'I'm going to check on Chu Hua. I deliberately avoided Mu Qingqing's palace yesterday; she should be alright now, right?'

"Your Majesty, I have not yet washed and dressed, please wait a moment."

Lin Chuhua was flustered, and Lin Chuyun immediately helped her up. Even in the original owner's memories, Lin Chuhua wouldn't have been this flustered when facing the emperor, who was still a prince.

The palace maids moved quickly, and as soon as Lin Chuhua went out, she saw the emperor sitting there, dressed in bright yellow robes. Lin Chuhua was stunned, wondering how long it had been since the emperor had eaten at Ninghua Palace.

"Attend to His Majesty"

"Your Majesty, please rise. All of you may rise as well."

The Emperor and Empress finished their breakfast in this unremarkable manner. Lin Chuyun, being sensible, decided to eat in the small kitchen. Just as she finished, she saw Mu Qingqing arrive. Mu Qingqing was wearing a veil today, and had even deliberately trimmed her hair to cover her forehead, clearly afraid that others would see her face.

Just then, the Emperor emerged, and Mu Qingqing saw him. She gracefully gave a shy curtsy, thinking the Emperor was standing before her. Just as she was about to smile and fawn over him, the Emperor's words instantly froze her smile.

"Your manner of bowing is indeed not in accordance with palace rules. You will learn properly in the Empress's palace. A matron will come to teach you later. She is the one who taught the Empress Dowager back then. Learn well!"

After speaking, the emperor left calmly, but only Lin Chuyun, who was standing to the side, knew how happy the emperor was inside.

'Ever since the system manipulated me into bringing Mu Qingqing into the palace, I've been constantly indulging her every whim. If she resists, Chu Hua gets injured, and the imperial physicians can't even diagnose it!'

Mu Qingqing was left standing there, bewildered in the wind. Before she could react, a nanny appeared beside her, holding a ruler.

This nanny was specially sent by the emperor, so she had some tricks up her sleeve when dealing with concubines who were unfamiliar with palace rules.

As far as Lin Chuyun knew, Mu Qingqing was originally the daughter of a minor official, so she naturally had little understanding of the palace rules and regulations.

In fact, every concubine would have a special nanny to teach her before entering the palace, but Mu Qingqing was "personally" brought back to the palace by the emperor, so she naturally hadn't learned those etiquettes.

Moreover, Mu Qingqing relies on the system, so the emperor doesn't dare to punish her, but now it's a good opportunity for Mu Qingqing to experience it.

"Sister, what are you doing here?"

"When I have free time, I like to show off some things. Look at these, aren't they nice?"

"How can you sit still like this? Aren't you going outside to check on Consort Qing?"

Lin Chuyun sat there curiously, from where she could see Mu Qingqing outside the door, who was suffering terribly as she received instruction from her nanny.

Lin Chuhua remained seated, showing no intention of getting up.

"What's so interesting about this? You'd be better off looking at my embroidery. It'll be finished soon, and you can take it back to your parents."

Lin Chuyun was actually a little confused about this mission, because the original owner's mission was to protect the Lin family, but the Lin family's annihilation began with the death of Lin Chuhua.

That's why Lin Chuyun decided to come to the palace to find out why Lin Chuhua had died so young. But now it seems that Lin Chuhua's death was due to that system and her own stubbornness.

Lin Chuyun also realized why Lin Chuhua was so weak; besides the system's punishment, there was also the reason due to her own condition.

Lin Chuhua couldn't believe that the emperor would change like this after ascending the throne. After all, they were childhood sweethearts who grew up together, and their youthful love was always so passionate and unrestrained. Especially after their marriage, the prince treated Lin Chuhua as well as ever.

Lin Chuyun couldn't accept the emperor's change, and her depression remained unresolved. This is why Lin Chuhua died so young...

But for now, Lin Chuyun can only cure Lin Chuhua's physical ailments; her mental state will likely have to be resolved by Lin Chuhua and the Emperor together.

"Great! I'll take it back to my parents; they'll definitely love it."

Just as the two were chatting and laughing, the old nanny came in to report that the time had come. Lin Chuyin helped Lin Chuhua out and saw Mu Qingqing standing outside.

The weather was wonderful today, and Mu Qingqing, dressed in her palace attire, was already sweating profusely, a far cry from her pitiful appearance.

"Hurry up and pay your respects to Her Majesty the Empress!"

Mu Qingqing shuddered subconsciously and reluctantly bowed. This time, the bow was indeed not so perfunctory.

"Get up, it's getting late. Consort Qing should go home early."

After Lin Chuhua finished speaking, she watched as Mu Qingqing walked out of the palace, looking uncomfortable in her legs.

For several days in a row, Mu Qingqing came to the Empress's palace to learn the palace rules. She finally mastered them, and her skin became quite tanned during those days.

Especially since the emperor hadn't visited Mu Qingqing's palace even once these past few days, Mu Qingqing was even less able to recover to her previous state. But in Lin Chuyun's eyes, this Mu Qingqing was much more real.

"Sister, I'm returning to the manor tomorrow."

Lin Chuyun had been secretly feeding Lin Chuhua pills these past few days, and Lin Chuhua's complexion had improved considerably. Lin Chuhua reluctantly held Lin Chuyun's hand.

"Little sister, I really hate to part with you, but it's not good for you to stay in the palace any longer."

"It's alright, isn't it your birthday in a few days? We should be able to see each other then."

Lin Chuhua's mood instantly sombered upon hearing the word "birthday." After all, in previous years, the Emperor had only sent a perfunctory pile of gifts for her birthday, never even visiting the Empress's palace; he had always stayed in Mu Qingqing's palace.

"Since the Empress is reluctant to leave, let her stay a few more days!"
