After watching Hongli leave, Zimu urged Lan Cui and Chun Chan to go back to sleep, but the two were more stubborn than each other and insisted on staying here to stare at Zimu.

In the end, Jinzhong didn't want Zimu to feel bad for the two girls, so he spoke up: "You guys go back to sleep. The emperor has asked me to watch over you. What else are you worried about?"

Lan Cui and Chun Chan cast their gazes towards Zi Mu. Zi Mu found their pitiful looks amusing and immediately said to them with a smile, "If you don't go to rest, I will feel uncomfortable without you when the sun rises. Go to sleep quickly."

After hearing what Zimu said, the two of them felt that it made sense. They were also not too confident in letting the other clumsy maids in Yongshou Palace serve Zimu.

"Then take a good rest girl, we will come to accompany you when we wake up."

"it is good"

……

After Chunchan and Lancui left, Zimu stared at Jinzhong. Originally, he could pretend to be calm and pretend not to see it, but Zimu's eyes were too complicated.

Jinzhong finally surrendered and asked helplessly: "Miss, can you just say whatever you want to ask? No one can stand you staring at me without saying anything."

Zimu laughed a few times, then cleared his throat and asked, "Empress Xian and Hailan."

"Oh, I almost forgot about it." Jinzhong said that but he was not in a hurry at all: "The emperor asked me to seal up the Yanxi Palace. They are all outside. The emperor also said that they can come in when you wake up."

“Is it still snowing outside?”

"It's raining all the time. It hasn't stopped."

"It's too cold. Women are weak to begin with. Don't let them get frozen." Zimu was so generous because he knew that in the next three days, Meipin would give the harem and Ulanara Qingying a big surprise.

I just don’t know whether her brother Hongli will send her to the cold palace this time, and if he does, will he still send someone to take care of her.

"Girl, you are kind-hearted, but not everyone will remember your kindness."

"It doesn't matter whether they remember or not. As long as I have a clear conscience, I'll trouble you, Master Jinzhong."

"Okay, I will listen to you, young lady. Please wait for me to make you a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea. After you drink it, I will go to the Yanxi Palace."

What could have been solved with just one trip was delayed by Jinzhong for more than an hour. It was not until the end of the Yin hour that he slowly went to the Yanxi Palace holding an umbrella.

When Jinzhong arrived at the Yanxi Palace, the charcoal that Suo Xin had replaced for Qingying and Hailan had already been used up. Qingying cared most about her own dignity, and it was impossible for her to knock on the door and go to the guards in person to exchange new charcoal without any image.

It was even more impossible for him to lower himself to use the charcoal that A Ruo and the others had pooled money to buy.

"Sister, are you okay?" Hai Lan, who was also hungry and cold, was still concerned about whether her good sister was feeling unwell.

Qingying just shook her head and asked, "Hai Lan, do you think I really went too far?"

Hai Lan shook her head: "Sister is also thinking about the emperor. She doesn't want the emperor to be criticized by others."

"Now that I think about it, Wei Jiashi is just a teenager, maybe even younger than Princess Jingse. Hailan, I am too impatient."

Hailan also thought of Zimu's small body at this moment, but she was sure that her sister was not wrong: "It has nothing to do with my sister. It was because I was too impatient at the time and did not persuade my sister, which led to the current situation."

Hailan comforted Qingying for a long time before she finally freed herself from the little bit of guilt in her heart.

To be honest, she didn't think she was wrong for thinking about Brother Hongli. She just used the wrong method to offend Brother Hongli.

When brother Hongli figures it out, he won’t blame me anymore.

Hai Lan finally saw Qingying's expression return to normal as she wished. Qingying looked much softer now. She knew that her sister was beginning to miss the time when she was young and had a close relationship with the emperor.

"After all, my sister and the emperor were destined to be together when they were young. They met and knew each other when they were young. Later, my sister was willing to be the emperor's concubine for the emperor. After entering the palace, they were very loving and affectionate. Such a relationship is something that many people can't envy."

Hailan continued to coax Qingying by saying things that Qingying liked to hear.

"Yes, we looked at each other from afar on the wall and horse, and my heart was broken as soon as I saw you. The relationship between me and Brother Hongli is different after all."

"The emperor had begged the late emperor for a long time to marry my sister, and my sister also gave up being the wife of other dukes for the sake of the emperor, and only became the emperor's concubine. How could there be a deeper relationship than this?"

"Thank you, Hailan. After hearing you comforting me like this, I finally let it go." Qingying smiled and linked her arms with Hailan's.

"Sister, this is not a consolation, but a matter of fact."

Zimu of Yongshou Palace used his spiritual power to observe every move of Yanxi Palace. Naturally, the conversation between Qingying and Hailan, the best sisters, was heard by Zimu word for word.

"Cough cough..." Zimu was choked by the sisters' self-comforting conversation and kept coughing. She drank several sips of the ginger tea that Jinzhong had placed on her bedside table before he left before she recovered.

"That was a close call...I almost choked to death."

Have these two sisters forgotten that although the Ulanara clan is a royal family, it produced Empress Chunyuan and Empress Jingren Palace.

However, the Ulanara clan was not powerful in the previous dynasty. Now, except for Concubine Xian's daughter Amanarbu, there are no male descendants of the Ulanara clan in the court.

During the reign of Emperor Yongzheng, Empress Dowager Xiaogongren was still alive. As the daughter of Ulanara adopted by Uya, Uya would have taken care of her in the previous dynasty.

The Ulanara family had long been in decline. What glory could there be for a family that could only rely on its daughters’ marriage?

Otherwise, she would not have conspired with Empress Dowager Xiaogongren, who was then Consort De, after seeing her concubine's daughter's husband ascend the throne, and eagerly sent her engaged daughter to Prince Yong's palace.

The relationship between the Uya and Ulanara clans was completely severed after the death of Empress Dowager Xiaogongren.

Later, the Empress of Jingren Palace was deposed instead of being deposed, causing the late Emperor to say that they would never see each other again in this life or the next, and Ulanara became even more destitute.

Not to mention becoming the legitimate wife of a prince or minister, if Hongli had not been determined to let Ulanara Qingying enter the prince's palace as a concubine, she might not have been able to marry into the family of a powerful minister as his principal wife.

The late emperor was still alive at that time, and any minister with a bit of common sense would not marry the daughter of Ulanara.

Only these two sisters comforted themselves so much that they believed it.
