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

As soon as Xiao Rui got off the carriage, the Queen, Concubine Lan and others were already waiting to greet him at the palace gate.

The Queen said, "Your Majesty, I respectfully welcome you back to the court."

Xiao Rui waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am just visiting incognito."

The Queen said, "Your Majesty, please get on the sedan chair quickly. The weather is cold and the roads are slippery. Why don't you settle down in Fenghua Palace today..."

The palace servants brought a sedan chair and helped Xiao Rui sit on it.

Xiao Rui refused and said, "No, I'm going back to Yangxin Palace. By the way, how is the dragon fetus of Lady Wang?"

Concubine Lan had a look of gloating on her face. Perhaps the Emperor didn't know that the sisters had already broken up. How could the Queen have visited Concubine Wang now?

The Queen casually said, "Thanks to the Emperor, everything is fine. The Emperor does not need to worry."

Xiao Rui nodded slightly, "That's good, let's go!"

Concubine Lan was afraid that it would be difficult to talk to the emperor after he left, so she quickly said, "Your Majesty, I have something to tell you..."

Xiao Rui said, "Come to Yangxin Palace to talk!"

Lan Fei then said with satisfaction, "Yes!"

Yufangzhai

After Song Qingwan brought Haitang and Xiang Zhiyan back to the palace, she found that the palace gate was unattended. Song Qingwan was very puzzled. Where did Xiao Zhongzi go? He was not a lazy person!

Haitang was the first to search every room and found that not only was Xiao Zhongzi gone, but all the other palace servants had disappeared as well!

Haitang said anxiously, "My lady, something bad has happened. The palace servants in Yufangzhai have disappeared!"

"I understand." Song Qingwan guessed that this meant that her secret departure from the palace had been exposed, and she would be in big trouble soon.

Xiang Zhiyan "Miss, are you a concubine in the palace?"

Haitang replied proudly, "My young lady is the most favored one of the emperor today, Yufangzhai, the noble lady!"

Xiang Zhiyan quickly bowed her head and saluted, "I, a humble girl, pay my respects to the noble lady Yu!"

Haitang reminded her, "From now on, you belong to Yufangzhai. You must call yourself a slave in front of your masters. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will lose your head!"

Xiang Zhiyan smiled at Haitang and said, "Yes, thank you for the reminder, young lady."

Song Qingwan introduced, "This is Haitang, the maid I grew up with. This is Xiang Zhiyan, the girl I saved on the road. You must help each other in the future."

They both said "yes" in unison

Xiang Zhiyan knew that she could no longer use her own name when she arrived at the palace, so she said, "Zhiyan, please give me a name, my lady!"

Song Qingwan thought for a moment and said, "You and I met by chance in the ice and snow. When we first met, you were wearing thin clothes and the cold wind was biting your skin. So I named you Yingcan, hoping that you will be as hot as a fire and bright and brilliant!"

Yingcan said, "Okay, what a good name! Thank you, my lady. From now on, I will be called Yingcan!"

Yangxindian

Xiao Rui leaned on the couch nonchalantly, and soon Lan Fei and others came over.

Concubine Lan and others said, "Your servants (concubines) pay their respects to His Majesty."

Xiao Rui said, "Everyone, get up. What's going on? You don't even give me time to catch my breath."

Concubine Lan said, "Your Majesty, this matter is really serious. I dare not conceal it, so as soon as Your Majesty returns to the palace, I will report it!"

Xiao Rui rubbed his temple tiredly and said, "Go ahead!"

Concubine Lan said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yu has secretly escaped from the palace! Concubine Ling knew this, but she still created the illusion that there was someone in Yufangzhai! She is really audacious."

Shen Changzai echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty, thanks to Concubine Lan for taking prompt action and reporting this matter to the Empress!"

"Where is Concubine Ling?" Xiao Rui asked

Concubine Lan said confidently, "She has been demoted to a concubine and is now living in seclusion in the cold palace." She was waiting for the emperor's praise.

"Nonsense!" Xiao Rui slammed the table and said

When Concubine Lan and Shen Changzai saw that the emperor was furious, they quickly knelt on the ground.

At this time, Xiao Fuzi came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Noble Lady Yu wants to see you."

Xiao Rui said, "Let her in."

Concubine Lan and Shen Chang looked at each other in bewilderment. Didn't Concubine Yu escape from the palace secretly? Why did she appear in the palace again?

Song Qingwan walked in slowly and glanced with disdain at Concubine Lan and Concubine Shen who were kneeling on the ground.

Song Qingwan said, "I'm here to see your Majesty. For some reason, all the servants in my palace have been withdrawn..."

Xiao Rui frowned and looked at Concubine Lan who was kneeling on the ground, "Does Concubine Lan know?

Concubine Lan hesitated and said, "This... This is all the Queen's order. All the palace maids in Yufangzhai have been sent to Xinzheku..."

Xiao Rui raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Didn't you just say that Concubine Lan made a prompt decision and reported it to the Queen? Now it's all the Queen's order?"

Concubine Lan knelt on the ground, not daring to look up, because she really couldn't figure out what the emperor meant.

"But...it is true that Concubine Ke Yu secretly escaped from the palace..."

Xiao Rui was intimidating without being angry. "Nonsense! Concubine Yu has been ill for a long time and I took her out of the palace to secretly visit a famous doctor!"

Now Shen Changzai finally understood. No wonder Zuo Changzai claimed to be sick when they came to confront each other today. It seems that Zuo Wenyi had guessed it from the beginning and deliberately used them as knives! How abominable!

"Ah!" Concubine Lan looked up in disbelief, and then immediately put the blame on Zuo Wenyi. "It's all Zuo Changzai's fault! Zuo Changzai discovered everything! She was the one who sent someone to report to me!"

Oh no! It turned out to be Zuo Changzai, so Ling Xiangxiang must be in a very difficult situation now! Song Qingwan clenched her handkerchief.

Xiao Rui said, "Send someone to call Zuo Changzai to question him!"
