After being reborn with Sister Zha, I was stunned!

"What? In the palace?" Shen Qingyin and Madam Mu were both surprised.

It is really unexpected that there is someone in the palace who is keeping an eye on the General's Mansion.

The grandfather and grandson couldn't figure out who it could be.

"I have another discovery." The guard who replied continued, "When I was walking back from the west corner gate of the palace, I saw a very familiar person. He also entered the palace through the West Court Gate. I can't remember who he is, but I must have seen him outside our house. He must be a clerk in a shop--"

"Xiting Gate?" Madam Mu and Shen Qingyin looked at each other, both with surprised expressions on their faces.

The closest halls to Xiting Gate in the imperial palace are the Jiaofang Palace where the Empress lived and the Ci'an Palace where the Empress Dowager lived.

Could it be that the Queen and the Queen Mother's people are also monitoring the General's Mansion?

Shen Qingyin frowned.

No matter whether it is the Queen or the Queen Mother, this matter is ultimately related to the palace.

It was far more complicated than she had imagined.

Mrs. Mu also understood the seriousness of the matter.

She sternly ordered the guards: "Don't alert the enemy, keep paying attention, and report back if you think of anything."

The guard agreed and went out.

Madam Mu was feeling uneasy, so she called the leader of the secret guards over and asked them to send more people. On the one hand, they had to do a good job of defending the general's mansion, and on the other hand, they had to keep a close eye on these spies from various places and make sure to understand their every move.

Shen Qingyin returned to his Chunnuan Pavilion with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

The spies from Prince Kang’s Mansion and Prince An’s Mansion were within expectations.

Qin Yueze and Shen Rongyue were unclear about her purpose, but at least they had no intention of killing her for the time being, she could see that.

She was also aware that Qin Jinshu was jealous of her and wanted to kill her.

Only this unknown force from the palace was like a dark cloud hanging over her heart, making her uneasy.

She couldn't figure out whether this unknown force was coming for her or the General's Mansion...

Thinking of the black-clad men from the army who wanted to kill her last time, and the black-clad men who saved her, she became even more confused.

Is this unknown force well-intentioned or malicious?

Prince Kang's Mansion.

Shen Rongyue was sitting in the room sulking.

Originally she was a concubine, and Yinxin was just a lowly concubine. She had three or four servants brought from her mother's home, and two maids given by Princess Kang.

Yinxin, on the other hand, was a lonely person, without even a maid to serve her. None of the prince, princess, or crown prince could remember her.

But now, in just two days, her and Yin Xin's positions have been somewhat reversed.

Princess Kang not only sent two maids and two servant girls to take care of Yinxin, but also asked the court doctor to check her pulse every day.

Moreover, all kinds of top-quality bird's nest supplements were sent to the side room like water every day, as well as silks and satins, so much so that the silver heart room could not even hold them all!

Even the two old women and maids who were serving her in the courtyard changed their previous cold and indifferent attitude towards Yin Xin and became respectful and affectionate.

This is really infuriating!

Just as he was getting angry, an old maid hurried over from Yinxin's room.

"Concubine Shen, Aunt Lin is full and doesn't want to move. She wants to lie outside the door to bask in the sun, but the chair in her room is not wide enough for her to lie down. I would like to borrow the chaise longue in your room for Aunt Lin to use first—"

Shen Rongyue stood up and wanted to refuse.

This chaise longue is made of top-grade rosewood and was a dowry given to her by her mother, Mrs. Du.

How can I just give it to a lowly concubine?

But before she could open her mouth, the old nanny turned around and called two maids over.

"You two should be quick and move this to Aunt Lin's door."

Shen Rongyue's face turned red with anger.

She stepped forward and stopped a few people: "Wait, this chaise longue is my dowry!"

The old nanny's face turned cold: "What does Concubine Shen mean by this? Are you unwilling to lend it?"

Shen Rongyue raised her chin and didn't say she wouldn't lend it, but her meaning was very clear, she just wouldn't lend it.

"Well, since Concubine Shen is unwilling to lend it, then I will report the truth to Her Majesty the Princess, and ask Her Majesty the Princess to send another chaise longue over. However, in this way, Her Majesty the Princess will inevitably feel that Concubine Shen is two-faced, saying that she will take care of Aunt Lin, but she is unwilling to lend her even a chair."

The old nanny's words made Shen Rongyue's originally flushed face turn pale in an instant.

"Put it down, put it down, don't move it, come on, follow me, let's go find the princess and ask for another one for Aunt Lin!"

The old nanny was about to leave the house with two maids.

Shen Rongyue suddenly panicked: "Wait, don't go!"

She smiled and said, "Isn't it just a chair? Why bother disturbing the princess? I didn't say I wouldn't lend it to you. What I meant is that this chair is very valuable. Be careful when you move it—"

As soon as these words came out, the two maids were immediately unhappy: "What Concubine Shen said, are we the clumsy ones? Besides, we were in the princess' room before, and we have seen all kinds of good things. Can a chair be considered a treasure?"

Shen Rongyue's face turned red, and she was so angry that she could only grit her teeth, but she had to continue smiling.

"Blame me, blame me for talking too much. It's just a chair, not made of gold or silver. How can it be so precious? Just move it, move it——"

After saying a lot of nice things, he finally managed to appease the old nanny and the two maids.

There's no way, they were all transferred from Princess Kang's room.

Princess Kang has finally changed her opinion of her, so how could she dare to make her unhappy again?

She really couldn't afford to offend these servants.

Seeing the chaise longue being carried to the door of Yinxin's house, Shen Rongyue bit her lips tightly, looking sad.

This day is so frustrating...

"Miss——" Mrs. Cheng walked in quietly.

Shen Rongyue turned around, with a look of expectation on her face: "How is it going?"

Mother Cheng nodded: "Don't worry, Miss, I have already inadvertently revealed the news to Chu Xinglan's personal maid. I believe she will know it soon."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Shen Rongyue's eyes.

That’s good. As long as Chu Xinglan knew about it, he would definitely not sit idly by.

As long as she takes action, she will make sure she succeeds...

Prime Minister's House.

Chu Xinglan was feeding the goldfish by the fish pond in the garden when the maid Xier ran in breathlessly from outside. The fish in the pond were frightened and dived into the water instantly, disappearing without a trace.

Chu Xinglan turned around and reprimanded: "Girl, why are you so flustered? You have no manners at all!"

Xier hurriedly admitted her fault: "I'm sorry, Miss, I was reckless. It was because I heard something and was anxious to tell you..."

Chu Xinglan frowned: "What's the matter?"

"Miss, when I was out shopping just now, I learned that someone in Prince Kang's mansion is pregnant!"
