"But I am very curious. What did the two palace maids say that made Concubine Ming so angry?" Xia Rongxin looked at Lu Huiling with interest and said.

After learning that Lu Huiling had executed two palace ladies today, Xia Rongxin specially sent someone to the Punishment Department to inquire about the news. She already knew what the two palace ladies said wrongly that made Lu Huiling angry.

After all, it was still something that could not be brought to light. Xia Rongxin looked at Lu Huiling with concern, and said with a hypocritical smile: "Concubine Ming, don't worry, now that the matter is over, I will definitely not blame you. It's just that the sisters in the harem are against you."

This matter is extremely curious. I am in charge of the harem, so I must figure this out. Now the concubines are a little bit wrong about Concubine Ming. If you tell me, we can get rid of this idea. Don't let everyone in the harem follow suit. I

It’s hard to explain to the emperor.”

The other concubines also looked at Lu Huiling with curiosity, wondering why she executed the two maids.

Lu Huiling knew that Xia Rongxin deliberately wanted her to say those words on this occasion, but let's talk about it, those words cannot be seen in the light, and she was very concerned about those rumors. Don't say it, Xia Rongxin is being aggressive again.

"It's just some unpleasant remarks. I might as well not pollute the imperial concubine's golden ears, so it's better not to say anything." After thinking about it again and again, Lu Huiling could only reply with a low eyebrow.

"I have been in charge of the harem for so many years, and I have never heard anything. Everyone here is an old man who has lived for most of his life. Concubine Ming said it doesn't matter." Xia Rongxin looked at her and said with a smile.

"If Concubine Ming doesn't want to talk, let's stop talking. Don't force her, it's just for your own good." A voice came from the door, and a tall man wearing a bright yellow straight-leg embroidered dragon suit came in.

Looking at the entire palace, apart from the emperor, the only person who can wear bright yellow embroidered dragon robes is the prince. Prince Qi Jingyang hated Xia Rongxin so much that he was determined not to come to Yichun Palace.

When all the concubines saw the emperor, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. They stood up and knelt down to salute: "I see you, the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."

When Xia Rongxin saw Qi Bingyu coming, she stood up with Yun Xi's help, took two steps forward, knelt down and saluted: "I am here to see you, Your Majesty."

Qi Bingyu glanced at Lu Huiling who was kneeling next to him, then raised his hand to help Xia Rongxin up and said softly: "Let's all get flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." All the concubines said in unison.

Qi Bingyu sat in the upper seat, and Xia Rongxin brought him a cup of warm tea: "Your Majesty, please have some tea."

Qi Bingyu took the tea and put it aside. He looked at Lu Huiling sitting beside him, cleared his throat and said, "Let's not pursue the matter today. Concubine Ming is young and ignorant, so let this matter pass."

Come on. No one is allowed to mention it again in the future."

Xia Rongxin instantly understood how tolerant Qi Bingyu was to Lu Huiling, and she could only apologize and said with a smile, "Yes. I will definitely keep this in mind."

Lu Huiling lowered her head and did not dare to look at Qi Bingyu. She didn't know whether she was flustered or embarrassed. After all, they had never seen each other again after yesterday's ridiculous night.

"Huiling." Qi Bingyu looked at Lu Huiling and said, "If there is something wrong with the servants in the palace, you can just tell Concubine Mei, but you still can't be as impulsive as you are today. Being angry is not good for yourself."

"Yes. Huiling understands." Lu Huiling lowered her head and responded.

The concubines could easily tell their importance in the emperor's mind from the names he addressed them, but they all remained silent.

"In this case, it's getting late, you all should go back." Qi Bingyu said to the concubines.

"Yes." Before they could say a few more words to the emperor, they had no choice but to return to the palace and continue to endure the pain of lovesickness. "I, my concubine, leave."

"Hey." Qi Bingyu said, "You send Concubine Ming back to Minghua Hall and return to her life after she is sent there."

"Yes." Eunuch He took the order and led Lu Huiling out.

Qi Bingyu's eyes followed Lu Huiling's back. If he hadn't promised Xia Rongxin to stay at Yichun Hall today, he would have sent her back himself.

Xia Rongxin kept looking at Qi Bingyu and saw his eyes fixed on Lu Huiling's back. She had mixed feelings in her heart, but she couldn't show them.

She smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it's late at night, I'll serve you and rest."

With that said, she was about to step forward and help Qi Bingyu unbutton the beaded buttons on his clothes. Qi Bingyu turned around calmly: "I'll be fine by myself."

Xia Rongxin froze on the spot, sighing secretly in her heart: After all, she was still in love with her, and the emperor in front of her was no longer the young man he was back then.

Tonight, I'm afraid many people will be tossing and turning in agony.

Qi Wangshu ran out of the palace before the palace gate was opened, picked up a fast horse from the imperial guards and rushed to the palace.

When they first arrived at the palace, the gatekeepers were startled, but they all knew Princess Wangshu. It was windy outside, so they hurriedly let her in.

"Why did the princess come to the palace so late? The prince is not in the palace, why don't you go and report to the princess?" The boy thought that it would be inconvenient for the princess to report to Mr. Si. The palace now has no owner, and there is only one person in charge.

The princess is in trouble.

"No need, I will go directly to the princess." Qi Wangshu didn't waste any time talking to him. After entering the palace, he hurriedly walked to Linlang Garden.

When Qi Jingqin just moved out of the palace, Qi Wangshu ran to the palace whenever he had time. She couldn't be locked in the palace compound, so she had to run around.

The palace was as familiar to her as her own Fengyang Pavilion, and she walked to Linlang Garden with ease.

"Huanqing! Huanqing!" Qi Wangshu shouted before he entered.

She and Liang Huanqing were similar in age. Although Liang Huanqing was her royal sister-in-law, she could not say the words "sister-in-law". She only remembered that Liang Huanqing was a troublemaking girl like herself, and she still remembered the encounter at Miaoyin Pavilion.

At this time, Liang Huanqing was sitting in front of the dressing table. Yuebai was combing her hair. She suddenly heard someone calling her, so she raised her head and looked at Yuebai: "Go out and see who is calling me."

.”

The voice was familiar yet unfamiliar, and for a while I couldn't figure out who it was.

"Yes." Yuebai felt blessed and went out to take a look.

As soon as he opened the door, Jiang Yi said in a panic at the door: "Princess, someone is looking for you."

Liang Huanqing put down the comb, stood up and walked to the door, wondering: "Who could it be at this late hour?"

"Huanqing!" Before Jiang Yi could answer, Qi Wangshu had already arrived at the door.

Liang Huanqing was startled: "Princess Wangshu? Why are you here?"

Qi Wangshu was wearing thin clothes when she left the palace. At this time, the wind was strong in the autumn night and it was easy to catch a cold. Liang Huanqing quickly pulled her in: "Yuebai, go and get a woolen coat. Jiang Yi is going to get some hot water to warm the princess's hands and feet."

.”

"Yes." The two maids followed the instructions and hurried out.

Liang Huanqing warmed Qi Wangshu's hands with her hands, frowned and blamed: "Why did you come out of the palace so late? You didn't let anyone know. Does Concubine Mei know?"

Liang Huanqing now looks more and more like a eldest sister-in-law. She keeps taking care of Qi Wangshu and can't bear to blame her when she looks like this.
