"The Queen is the head of the harem and in charge of the six palaces. If I do anything wrong, the Queen will teach me."

Zi Mu didn't have the chance to leave without further ado when Qingying and Hailan were about to leave when they were stopped by the eunuchs and palace maids around Qingying.

"Empress Xian keeps talking about etiquette and rules, but it seems that's all she does. Be strict with others and lenient with yourself. Empress Xian has used this method very well."

"Sister, this seductive evildoer is really sharp-tongued. If you don't discipline her today, I don't know what kind of trouble she will cause in the future."

Hai Lan's words were so righteous that if it weren't for her attire, Zi Mu would have thought she was swearing in to join the party.

"If you two want to teach me, then please take the emperor or the empress's handwritten order to Yongshou Palace. I will have no complaints then."

Qingying was so irritated by Zimu's words that she lost her mind. What was originally in compliance with palace rules and procedures, in her ears, she heard it as Zimu showing off to her and mocking her for overstepping her boundaries.

"Sanbao Suoxin, drag her back to the Yanxi Palace. Since the Queen is too busy to take care of her, I will teach this sharp-tongued woman a lesson on her behalf."

Hai Lan smiled very proudly and said to the palace maid beside her: "Ye Xin, go up and help."

"Let me go..." Zimu felt a pair of hands pinching him, and when he looked closely, he found it was Ye Xin.

The mad dog's subordinate is still a mad dog.

Chunchan watched as a group of people dragged her daughter away, and she cried out in fear: "Sister Lancui, what should we do? The daughter..."

Lan Cui took a deep breath and said to comfort her: "Chunchan, you go to the Yangxin Palace to ask the emperor to save the girl, and I will go to Changchun Palace to ask the queen. You must be quick."

"Okay, I understand."

……

Chunchan cried and jogged all the way to the Yangxin Palace and fell on the way. Jinzhong had just finished his errand and came back to see Chunchan, who was covered in dirt. He was anxious to see the emperor.

"Chunchan, why are you crying here? And what's going on with you?"

Chunchan, who was originally stopped by the imperial guards, saw Jinzhong as if she had seen a savior: "Eunuch, please take me to see the emperor, my...my girl..."

Jinzhong saw Chunchan was out of breath, and everything related to Zimu made him anxious for no reason: "Stop crying, tell me what happened to your daughter?"

Li Yu, who had been serving in the Yangxin Palace, heard the noise outside and thought something had happened, so he hurried out to check. He was shocked to see that Chunchan was crying like this, which showed that the matter was not a small matter.

Without asking Chunchan the whole story, he turned around and hurried in to report to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Miss Chunchan from the Yongshou Palace is crying and asking for an audience outside the Yangxin Palace."

Originally, Hongli was worried about state affairs, and just now he vaguely heard someone crying outside, which made his already irritable mood even worse.

"Go, let her come in and answer the question." As a result, Li Yu went out and came back with an account of the Yongshou Palace affair. Hongli's expression changed instantly, and he immediately summoned Chunchan to come in and talk.

"Your Majesty, please save my girl..." Chunchan told Hongli the whole story. After hearing it, Hongli was furious and immediately went to the Yanx Palace.

Meanwhile, Empress Fucha in Changchun Palace also rushed to the Yanx Palace after hearing Lan Cui's cry for help. Noble Concubine Gao and Noble Lady Jia, who were talking to Empress Fucha, naturally followed to watch the fun.

"Your daughter usually doesn't go out, let alone appear in front of others. How did she run into Concubine Xian and Lady Hai today?"

Lan Cui followed the empress's procession and answered, "To answer your question, my girl knows that it is not right for her to live in Yongshou Palace, so she usually stays in Yongshou Palace and never steps out of the gate. I thought that the masters and ladies would not go out again today because it is snowing, so I went to Yimei Garden with my girl..."

"What? Your daughter asked Concubine Xian to get the imperial edict from me or the emperor before teaching her, but Concubine Xian dragged your daughter away and kept saying that she was teaching her for me?"

"Yes, Queen."

"Your daughter is a sensible person. She just had such a misfortune. It was really an unprovoked disaster. You who are carrying the sedan chair should hurry up..."

Concubine Gao had long been curious about what the girl in Yongshou Palace looked like, and she was not willing to drag her cold-fearing body to the extremely remote Yanx Palace.

When Empress Fucha, Concubine Gao and others arrived at the Yanx Palace, they saw a woman in thin red clothes being forced to kneel in the snow.

Ye Xingang had just poured a basin of water on the woman, and before he put down the basin, there was another palace maid holding water in her hand ready to continue.

Empress Fucha looked at the figure in front of her who was not much older than her daughter. She almost died of suffering in such a cold weather. "Stop it, Concubine Xian, Concubine Hai, who allowed you to use private punishment in the harem?"

"Girl..." Lan Cui pushed away the person who was holding Zimu, wrapped her cloak around Zimu, and then held the shivering Zimu in her arms.

Empress Fucha looked at the shivering man, pointed at Qingying, and was so angry that she didn't know what to say. Concubine Gao glanced at Lan Cui's not-so-warm cloak, and silently covered Zimu with her rabbit fur cloak.

"Thank...thank you, my lady."

Hongli ran in as soon as he got off the imperial carriage. What caught his eye was Zimu's wet hair with ice on the ends of his hair. The wooden basins on the ground made him realize what Zimu had just experienced.

"Zimu..."

Hearing Hongli's voice, Zimu turned around trembling. With red eyes, he was about to speak when he fell into Lan Cui's arms.

"Zi Mu" Hongli couldn't help it anymore. This scene was too familiar. She had left him like this many times in his dreams.

"Li Yu, summon the imperial physician to Yongshou Palace, and do it quickly."

"I'll go right away, right away." After saying that, Li Yu hurried to the Imperial Hospital.

Hongli held Zimu in his arms and glanced at Qingying before leaving. Qingying was so frightened by Hongli's eyes that were obviously full of hatred that she couldn't say a word.

The group left in a hurry. Hai Lan, who was originally worried, just breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jinzhong, who was serving in the imperial court, and his men quickly sealed all the doors and windows of the Yanx Palace.

In the end, he prepared to go back and report without even looking at the people in the Yanx Palace.

"What does this mean, Eunuch Jinzhong?"

"I am following orders. The emperor said that if Empress Xian asks, I will tell you when the girl in Yongshou Palace wakes up and when you can enter the palace."

After Jinzhong finished speaking with a gloomy face, he left with his men in a mighty manner. Before leaving, he locked the Yanx Palace from the outside.

"This is impossible. Brother Hongli would never do this to me..."

"Sister..." Hai Lan began to regret at this time. She shouldn't have dragged her sister down.

"Why, Hailan, the emperor treated me like this for Wei Jiashi."

Qingying and Hailan sat in the pavilion, and the drafts around them were blocked by the palace maids and eunuchs using their bodies.

A'ruo looked at Qingying and Hailan acting out their sisterly love again, and her eyes almost rolled to the sky.

Thinking about the private letter that Meipin wrote to him and the various inducements from Zhenshu and Sulian.

At this moment, A Ruo truly made up her mind that she would never be implicated by a master like Qingying again.
