Less than half an hour later, Yun Zhao, who had just returned and sat down, heard from Su Xi that Concubine Ping was seriously injured.

She didn't quite understand. With a flick of her finger, the tea overflowed and made her sleeves slightly wet.

Yun Zhao took the handkerchief, wiped it, and asked, "Why are you injured...?"

Could there be an assassin in this palace?

But luckily, even if there were assassins, it would not be their turn to assassinate Concubine Ping.

It wasn't that Yun Zhao looked down on Concubine Ping in this matter, but he felt that there was an emperor in the palace, and if there was to be an assassination, it would only be from that end.

As for Concubine Ping, she seems to have nothing to use.

It doesn't sound nice, but it's the truth.

Su Xi continued, "Ren Wanmei wanted to keep the Eighth Prince, but Concubine Ping naturally didn't want to. First there was a disagreement between words, and then she took action."

"Although the nuns stopped me, they couldn't stop me. When they were separated, both of them had bruises on their faces."

"The Eighth Prince was also so frightened that he fainted at that time. He is still fainting now and the imperial doctor is watching."

Su Xi paused and then said, "The Queen has also passed."

When Yun Zhao heard this, he wiped his fingertips with a handkerchief, stood up and straightened his sleeves, and then said, "Let's go and have a look."

Dissensions between concubines should be dealt with by the queen.

Originally it was not a big deal, the Queen only needed to send someone over to take a look and comfort both parties.

However, the Eighth Prince fainted and has not yet woken up, and it seemed that the two of them could not be calmed down by simple comfort, so the Queen went there in person.

When Yun Zhao passed by, everything was quiet in Cuiwei Palace.

Concubine Ping did not leave, but sat on the side, covering her eyes with a handkerchief, sobbing softly.

She also wore a veil on her face, and scratches were faintly visible.

Even the arms that were not covered by the sleeves had some red marks. It was obvious that the fight with Wanmei was particularly fierce not long ago.

Concubine Ping was originally complaining to the queen about her grievances, but when she saw Yun Zhao coming in from the corner of her eye, her voice froze for a moment.

She pursed her lips, wiped her tears gently with a handkerchief, and then sat upright, waiting for the queen's decision.

She could kneel down and beg for mercy in front of the emperor, making a pitiful gesture, and she could do the same in front of others.

But alone in front of Yun Zhao, she didn't want to show off her humility.

The two of them were clearly very different from each other before.

But now the distance is getting farther and farther.

Concubine Ping's eyes were still a little sad when she thought of this, but soon, these sad emotions disappeared.

She can't go back to the past, nor can she go back to the past.

It is not good for her to always think about the past. What she should do is to seize what she has and look forward to the future.

She used to be a princess of Chu State. With this status, her life will be good in the future.

Concubine Ping made up her mind and lowered her eyes no longer thinking about things that had nothing to do with her anymore.

No matter what, she could only look forward.

What she has and what she can have is not enough to make her have wishful thinking.

Concubine Ping looked out the door and thought of the Eighth Prince.

If this child was her biological child, she would have the intention to fight, but that's not the case.

The eighth prince was adopted by her, but he still had a biological mother after all.

If there is no biological mother...

Wanmei has not been in good spirits since she became pregnant. I heard that she always sleeps less at night and her meals are not delicious on weekdays.

If things continue like this, the body will definitely become exhausted.

In fact... she is not evil-hearted, it's just a matter of time. Wanmei's body is exhausted and she won't live long.

Instead of making her suffer for the rest of her life, it would be better to help her end this pain.

With such a mother, the Eighth Prince will not be well off in the future.

Mothers in the world are always willing to sacrifice for their children.

So thinking about it, Wanmei is willing to do this last thing for the eighth prince.

The queen waved and asked Yun Zhao to sit over, and then ordered someone to pour tea. Then she looked at Wan Meiren and asked, "Why did you do it?"

Wanmei sneered, "I want my child back, what's wrong with me?"

Queen: "..."

She was speechless for a moment.

The child was indeed born to Wanmei, but it was also raised by Concubine Ping.

Concubine Ping looked at the queen aggrievedly, then glanced at Yun Zhao, gritted her teeth and said, "If Wanmei wants to see the child more often, I am willing to bring the eighth prince to visit her every day. Also... please invite the queen.

Call the shots.”

The queen stretched out her hand and pressed her eyebrows hard.

Naturally, she couldn't return the Eighth Prince to Wanmei. After all, this was something arranged by the emperor, and there was still Concubine Ping's identity there, so she couldn't change it.

So the queen waved her hand and asked people to find the emperor, and then comforted Concubine Ping.

Concubine Ping understood what the queen meant, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, but her eyes were slightly red with tears, looking very pitiful.

Wanmei suddenly stood up and ran to Concubine Ping very arrogantly.

The two nuns behind her had gained experience and grabbed her.

But it was obvious that the two nuns couldn't hold Wan Mei back when she went crazy.

In addition, the nuns should not use too much force, for fear of really injuring Wanmei.

So after a while, Wanmei appeared in front of Concubine Ping, raising her hand to slap her.

In panic, Concubine Ping stood up and ran out. Wan Meiren chased after them, followed by a group of palace servants.

There was so much commotion and commotion in the hall that Yun Zhao was stunned and didn't know which way to look first.

The queen put her hand on her forehead when she heard a loud voice at the door.

It's Shouan's voice.

What followed was a very loud slap.

And Shou'an knelt down with a "pop" sound, shouting for someone to come and apologize.

Yun Zhao: "?"

Kneeling on the ground outside, Yun Zhao naturally could no longer sit down so calmly.

She stood up and walked over to salute. When she looked up, she saw the obvious slap mark on the emperor's face.

The emperor's face was dark, and his eyes were cold as he looked at the beautiful woman being escorted.

Yun Zhao: "..."

The queen coughed slightly and spoke for Wanmei, "Wanmei has lost her child, so her behavior will inevitably be inappropriate. Your Majesty, if you want to punish her, don't go too far."

Shou'an lowered his head and did not dare to speak at this time.

After so many years of following His Majesty, this was the first time he saw a woman other than the Queen dare to attack His Majesty.

And there is a reason why the Queen took action.

Wanmei... Based on his understanding of His Majesty... Wanmei will definitely not be happy with her anyway.

"She's already crazy, why would she be allowed to come out? Find a place, lock her up, and don't allow anyone to approach her without my instructions."

Hearing this, Concubine Ping raised her head suddenly, with sudden surprise in her eyes.

She was originally thinking about how to deal with Wanmei. She didn't have many people under her command, and she didn't know what Wanmei's status was in His Majesty's heart.

If you luckily leave no traces, that's great, but what if you leave traces...

His Majesty may pretend that he doesn't know because of her identity, but her life will be difficult in the future.

Now, without her taking action, Wan Meiren has been despised and imprisoned.

Concubine Ping lowered her head and pursed her lips with a smile, then walked to the emperor with concern, reached out and gently touched the beaten half of the emperor's face with a handkerchief.

The emperor subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but for some reason, he paused and did not.

Yun Zhao came here originally to see if there was anything she could do to help, but who knew that the whole process was just a spectacle.

The queen was too lazy to stay and look at that face, so she took Yun Zhao's hand and left.

Just as the emperor was about to speak out, Concubine Ping had already taken his arm and put it on his heart, "Your Majesty, I am really scared today."
