A concubine's daughter is reborn and I want to enter the palace!

"I saw it with my own eyes. The Third Prince was chasing the Second Prince. Just when the Third Prince was about to catch up with the Second Prince, the little eunuch happened to pass by and blocked the way. So the Third Prince pushed the little eunuch off in anger..."

The palace maid who was cleaning the room replied with a vague look in her eyes.

The second prince said proudly, "Father, look, I didn't lie, it was my third brother who lied!"

The Third Prince had a hard time saying, "I didn't! I really don't understand why the maid would lie to accuse me... I also don't understand why my second brother would disregard the brotherhood and frame me! I only ask Father to investigate!"

All the criticisms were directed at Chen Yi. Even though Xiao Rui trusted Chen Yi now, he could not openly show partiality.

Xiao Rui said, "Everyone go down first. There are still many doubts about this matter. I will investigate it thoroughly!"

"Yes..." Everyone said

The Queen was afraid that the matter would be left unresolved, so she volunteered, "Your Majesty, I will help you investigate!"

Xiao Rui simply refused and said, "The Queen has been tired all day, go down and rest too!"

"Your Majesty... I want to share some of the burden for you..." The Queen didn't want to leave, fearing that the Emperor would really find out some clues, but she had no choice but to leave.

"Go, go down and have a rest!" This time the tone was sharper than before. Even though the queen didn't want to leave, she had to leave.

On the way back to the palace, the Queen saw Concubine Lan waiting for her in front.

"Oh, the Queen was also kicked out? You thought you were so special?" Concubine Lan said sarcastically.

"Princess Lan, do you know that it is disrespectful for you to speak to me like this? It seems that after two days of freedom, you want to confine me again?" The Queen said bluntly.

"The Queen and I both know why that maid said that! I am waiting for the Emperor to come and clear Chen Yi's name!" said Concubine Lan.

"The Second Prince whipped the servant that day, but it wasn't that serious. Why did he become half-dead for no reason? I think Concubine Lan should understand this!" said the Queen.

"I don't understand what the Queen means! I'll take my leave!" After saying this, Concubine Lan walked away arrogantly.

Yufangzhai

Although the emperor forbade people to discuss the matter, there is no wall that is impenetrable, and soon everyone in the palace knew about it.

Even Song Qingwan, who lived in the remote Yufangzhai, heard about it.

"This is an interesting matter, but a life was lost because of their open and secret fighting..."

Haitang couldn't help but sigh and said, "Oh, my lady, don't think too much. This palace itself is a devil's den that eats people."

"Yes, it has been almost a year since I entered the palace. So many things have happened in this year, and so many people have died along the way. Concubine Rou, who was once the most favored concubine in the harem, is now isolated from the world. Zhang Weizi, who won the first prize as soon as she entered the palace and gave birth to a son, how many people still remember her now? There are also the deceased Concubine Shu, Concubine Xi, He Yiru, and Dingxiang..."

Song Qingwan recalled the people who met along the way.

"My lady, Haitang will always be with you!" Haitang said, leaning against Song Qingwan.

"Good! Fortunately, I have you to accompany me in this palace where I feel like wearing worn-out shoes!" Song Qingwan said with a relieved smile.

Xiwu Palace

Concubine Shen herself was not sure whether the emperor would come or not, but she still dressed up carefully and sat quietly on the bed waiting for the emperor to come.

Pearl watched the time pass by little by little, and couldn't help but say, "My lady, it's getting late, otherwise... I will wait for you to rest."

"No, wait a little longer." Shen Guiren said

Seeing this, Zhenzhu had no choice but to continue waiting with Concubine Shen.

After an unknown amount of time, Pearl accidentally fell asleep on the edge of the bed. She suddenly woke up and sat up, only to find that her mistress was still sitting motionless on the bed.

Pearl said, "My lady, it's so late... The emperor probably won't come... Why don't you go to the Yangxin Palace again next time..."

Concubine Shen said firmly, "No, I am just betting whether the emperor will come tonight. If he doesn't come tonight, even if I try my best to invite the emperor next time, if something happens, the emperor still won't come!"

"But my lady, such a big thing happened today... The emperor must not be in the mood to come to the harem..." Pearl couldn't help but say

Shen Guiren insisted, "If you are sleepy, go to sleep first, I will wait for you..."

After a sleepless night, Concubine Shen finally failed to wait for the emperor to come.

Lady Shen looked at the sky outside which was gradually turning pale and said, "Xiao Rui, since I am so insignificant in your heart, you can't blame me for having an affair with someone else!"
