Hearing Xu Yinshang accusing her of pushing her again, Ling Xiangxiang was so angry that she was about to open her mouth to refute, but Song Qingwan, who was standing beside her, secretly pinched her!

Ling Xiangxiang looked at Song Qingwan in confusion. Song Qingwan shook her head firmly, indicating that she should not say anything.

Seeing this, Ling Xiangxiang had no choice but to endure it and not get angry.

And Concubine Shen, knowing that Ling Xiangxiang had a hot temper, was waiting for Ling Xiangxiang to defend them after Xu Yinshang finished speaking! But after staring at her for a long time, she suddenly stopped talking when she was about to speak.

"That's enough!" Xiao Rui stopped him.

Xu Yinshang was frightened by the emperor's sudden words and dared not speak again.

"Noble Lady Xu, I have been pampering you in every way because you were recommended by the Empress Dowager. You have forgotten what we learned in the Yangxin Palace a few days ago, right?" Thinking about it now, Xiao Rui still felt a slight toothache.

Fortunately, it was only the chewing teeth inside, so even if there was a color difference after the filling, other people would not be able to notice it. If the visible teeth were knocked out by her hard stone pastries, Xiao Rui would have to kill her!

As soon as the emperor mentioned the matter of the Yangxin Palace, everyone looked at each other in confusion. No one knew what the emperor was talking about. Could it be that Concubine Xu had done something out of line in the Yangxin Palace?

Rupin couldn't help but think, could it be that this little bitch openly seduced the emperor in the Yangxin Palace? Thinking of this, Rupin also glared at Xu Yinshang with a bad face.

When Xu Yinshang heard the emperor talking about the Yangxin Palace again, she couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine...

"Your Majesty..." Xu Yinshang said in a trembling voice

"Don't call me! You make me feel cold!" The old grudges and past grudges combined made Xiao Rui's disgust towards Xu Yinshang even greater.

However, after Shen Guiren and Zuo Wenyi heard this, they felt happy about the misfortune.

Although their common target was Song Qingwan at the beginning, since Song Qingwan was not brought down, it was also a good idea to get rid of Xu Yinshang!

After all, Xu Yinshang has the Queen Mother as his backer, so there's no guarantee that he won't make a comeback one day.

Xiao Rui said word by word, "Lady Xu, you are reckless and flattering! Your panic caused many people to be injured! You also framed others! You are demoted to a concubine! Fined half a year's salary! Move to Dongjing Pavilion!"

Dongjing Pavilion! After hearing this, everyone knew that Xu Yinshang would never rise again in the future! Yin Suxin died not long after she moved to Xijing Pavilion, and this Xu Yinshang was probably not much better.

"Dong... Dongjing Pavilion..." Xu Yinshang muttered to himself

When she entered the palace, she was a noble lady. As soon as she arrived, she was granted a good place like Yuexian Palace for her to live alone. Although she was not the mistress of the palace, it was already better off than many people!

Xu Yinshang simply couldn't accept being suddenly demoted, having his salary fined, and having to move away.

She wanted to defend herself a few more times, but when she saw the people in the hall, some were injured, some were dislocated, and some were pregnant, Xu Yinshang knew that no matter what she said, it would be useless.

"Xu agrees, why don't you accept the decree and thank the emperor?" the queen reminded

"My concubine... thank you for your grace!" Xu Yinshang said while biting her lip.

The Queen looked at Xu Yinshang, who was kneeling on the ground, with contempt and a bit of amusement and ridicule. The Queen Mother deliberately brought her into the palace. Wasn't it just to make her a noble concubine in the future and compete with herself?

You didn't expect it, right? When she entered the palace, she started as a noble lady, but noble lady became the highest position in Xu Yinshang's life!

Xiao Rui looked at the other people in the room and said, "As for the remaining injured people, Queen, please arrange for the imperial physician to treat them!"

The Queen said, "Yes, I understand."

When everyone dispersed and passed the palace gate, ready to go their separate ways, Zuo Wenyi suddenly glanced at Concubine Shen, and Concubine Shen also raised the corner of her mouth and looked back at her meaningfully.

The matter ended here.

In the Yanxi Palace

After Concubine Qing dislocated her arm, her daily life became extremely inconvenient. Her maid Ying'er was very anxious when she saw this.

While taking care of Concubine Qing, Ying'er couldn't help but complain, "If I were to say, Your Majesty is really something. Even in such a situation, why does she still care about Concubine Yu? Even if we protect her child, her child will never be close to us in the future!"

Concubine Qing smiled and said, "I am already losing my beauty, so it's no big deal if she falls. Concubine Yu is still young and pregnant. If she gets bumped, even if the heir is fine, it will be bad if her appearance is damaged."

Ying Er pouted and said, "If I were to say, Your Majesty is just too kind-hearted!"

"As soon as the imperial physician arrived, he examined her first. We missed the best time for the queen, and she needs more time to recover!"

Concubine Qing patted Ying'er's hand and said, "Ying'er, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me."

"Just take some time off to recuperate. I've been feeling tired lately. Helping with the affairs of the harem may sound glamorous, but it's actually tiring."

Ying'er still looked like she was defending someone, and said, "But it's different if your Majesty takes the initiative to rest, and if she has to rest because she's injured..."

As the two were talking, Xiao Rui came in from outside.

Just as the people in the palace were about to report loudly, Xiao Rui waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll sit down for a while and leave right away!"

The palace maid nodded in agreement and did not report it.

As Xiao Rui walked to the door, he happened to hear a conversation inside, so he stopped.

I heard Concubine Qing say, "Okay, Ying'er, stop talking. My injury is nothing serious. I will be fine after resting for a while."

Ying'er said distressedly, "Your Majesty's injury is the most serious, and you said it was a minor injury! Alas, Your Majesty, you are too low-key. If someone else had been like this, I'm afraid everyone would have known about it long ago."

Xiao Rui smiled knowingly, and just as he was about to push the door open, he heard someone say

Ying'er: "But the position of Concubine is vacant. You and Rupin are both helping to take care of the harem. Now that you are recuperating, I'm afraid the position of Concubine will fall to Rupin!"

Concubine Qing said, "Concubine Ru is very clever and capable. It would be great if she could become a concubine and help the Empress manage the harem."

Ying Er couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, only you, the queen, are not content with the world..."

Concubine Qing said, "No matter who ascends the throne, as long as they can manage the affairs of the harem and help the emperor solve his worries, that's the real thing! As for me, I don't ask for so much, I just hope that everything goes well for the emperor and that our two daughters are safe and sound!"

Hearing this, Xiao Rui pushed open the door and walked in.

"Ah, why is the emperor here?" When Concubine Qing saw this, she quickly stood up.

Ying'er turned around and saw the emperor coming. She was panicked. She wondered if the emperor had heard what she had just said...

Xiao Rui said, "Just sit down, no need to stand up."

When Concubine Qing saw Ying'er, she stood there in panic and said, "The Emperor is here. Ying'er, go get him a cup of hot tea."

"Yes!" After hearing this, Ying'er quickly ran away.

Xiao Rui glanced at Ying'er who was running away, and said to Concubine Qing, "No need, I'm not thirsty, I came to see you and then left."

Concubine Qing said, "Since Your Majesty is here, why not have a cup of hot tea before leaving? It's not even the beginning of summer yet, Your Majesty, please don't be too greedy for the cool air!"

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Okay, you are very detailed, so I will listen to you."

After the hot tea came up, Xiao Rui blew on it and said, "I heard everything you said just now when I was outside the palace. Do you really mean you don't want anything?"
