"It's the slave who deserves to die!" Wu Shulai hurriedly kowtowed and admitted his mistake. [ ]

"Okay, why don't you get rid of this useless thing? Wu Shulai, you have been with me for many years, so I believe you. If I find out that you are the one who got in the way, I will definitely take your head! "The emperor's words were filled with coldness.

"Even if this slave has ten courages, he would not dare to expire the emperor's term. The emperor knows it clearly!" Although Wu Shulai said this, his clothes were soaked in cold sweat.

"Go and wait outside the dormitory. Remember, if there is any noise inside, ask Nanny Li to go in and have a look. Don't let her make the slightest mistake!" the emperor ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes, I obey the order!" After hearing the emperor's order, Wu Shulai felt ecstatic in his heart. The emperor's treatment of Wei Ning'er was indeed unusual. It seemed that he had made the right move.

After the emperor said this, he ordered the people around him to go to Qianqing Palace.

Naturally, what happened last night will not be forgotten. The emperor will personally investigate after he goes to court. Wu Shulai is convinced of this.

As a noble person, but being teased like this, the emperor would never let it go.

But the most urgent task is to persuade Wei Ning'er. If she continues to seek death and survival, even if the emperor loves her, he will be tired of her.

Thinking of this, Wu Shulai dragged his stiff legs to the back bedroom.

"Eunuch Wu!" Nanny Li was already standing guard outside the dormitory. Seeing Wu Shu coming over, she immediately blessed herself.

"Mother Li, could you please go in and see if the girl is dressed neatly? If not, help her tuck the quilt and I will go and say hello!" Wu Shulai smiled and ordered to Grandma Li.

Grandma Li looked at Wu Shulai in surprise, and then entered the bedroom, determined to serve this girl well.

Wu Shulai is the chief steward around the emperor. Except for the queen, the noble concubine and the concubine Xian, I have never seen this high-minded chief steward being so flattering.

What's more, the lady inside is still a nameless palace maid.

"Are you feeling better?" After a while, Wu Shulai asked in a low voice outside.

"Okay!" Nanny Li responded.

Wu Shulai moved his legs, slowly entered the bedroom, and knelt down six feet away from the dragon bed.

Nanny Li was startled and knelt down, but Wu Shulai said: "Nanny Li, the emperor has told me to tell the girl that you should go out and wait, and don't let others break in!"

"Yes!" Nanny Li immediately withdrew.

Wu Shulai then said respectfully: "Miss Wei, my servant Wu Shulai wishes to greet you!"

Wei Ning'er, who was in bed, heard that it was Wu Shulai and slowly raised her head, but her face was expressionless.

Wu Shulai sighed in his heart and said earnestly: "Girl, I know that you don't want to stay in this palace and become a concubine, but now the rice has become a meal, what's the point of resisting? If you anger the emperor, the gain outweighs the loss! Not to mention you. I have been favored by the emperor and cannot leave the palace for the rest of my life. Instead of dying of old age in the palace as a palace maid, why not set our sights further?"

"Where is Hu Shijie?" Wei Ning'er turned a deaf ear to his words and asked word for word.

"He is the eunuch who is delivering the decree, and he is accompanying the emperor to court at this moment!" Wu Shulai had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Go and get me some clean clothes." Wei Ning'er took a deep breath and said.

But Wu Shulai saw the solemnity of the approaching storm from her extremely calm face.

"Yes, I will tell Nanny Li to bring it in right now!" Wu Shulai got up from the ground and walked slowly outside the dormitory.

After Grandma Li brought in a brand new palace maid uniform, Wei Ning'er put it on with trembling hands, and then slowly walked out, but was stopped by Wu Shulai at the door of the dormitory.

"Get out of the way-" Wei Ning'er said coldly.

"Girl, it's not that I don't want you to go out, it's that the emperor has an order and I have to obey it!" Wu Shu said and gave a high-five, and the maids and eunuchs filed out from both sides and stopped Wei Ning'er.

"Girl, you have been in the palace for a long time, and I think you know the rules in the palace very well. I dare to ask girl, where is this palace of nourishing the heart?" Wu Shulai said respectfully.

Wei Ning'er frowned slightly and did not answer. The emperor's words about letting the Wei family be buried with him completely stopped her from wanting to die. At this moment, she just wanted to find out everything.

She didn't believe that Hu Shijie would harm her, so who deceived her into the Yangxin Palace and sent her to the dragon bed?

What's that person's purpose?

Why was someone drugging the emperor's wine with Albiziaca Julibrissin? Is it also the fault of that person?

After being plotted like this, how can I just let it go? Even if I have to die, I must die clearly, Wei Ning'er thought.

When Wu Shu came to see Wei Ning'er, he didn't answer, so he said: "The Hall of Yangxin is the emperor's bedroom. There is a rule here. You must also know, girl, that the only one who can spend the night with the emperor in this hall of Yangxin until dawn is the empress, and the concubines

But you can't. Miss, you are a palace maid, and you can't even do it. But you have stayed here yesterday until now. The ancestral rules cannot be violated. This alone will cost you your life. Besides... Miss, as soon as you wake up.

He took a candlestick and tried to assassinate the emperor. More than a dozen maids in the palace saw it. Although the emperor had decreed not to reveal a single word, there was no airtight wall in the palace. This second rule could not only

Taking your life is also a major crime that will destroy the nine tribes."

Wei Ning'er froze when she heard this. It didn't matter whether she died or not, but she couldn't harm E Niang and her brother.

Thinking of this, Wei Ning'er retreated to the palace.

"Wu Shulai, come in!" Wei Ning'er's slightly hoarse voice came from the dormitory.

"Yes!" Wu Shulai responded and entered the hall.

"Wu Shulai, what should I do to protect my Wei family!" Wei Ning'er asked after staring at Wu Shulai for a moment.

After all, Wu Shulai understands these rules more thoroughly than she does, so there should be a way around them.

"Girl, whether this matter is big or small, it all depends on one person!" Wu Shulai said with a smile.

"Who?" Wei Ning'er felt slightly uneasy.

"Your Majesty!" Wu Shulai said respectfully.

After hearing this, Wei Ning'er sat down on the chair slumped.

"Girl, I have just sent people to the various palaces to inquire. The fact that you are favored by the emperor has spread throughout the harem. There are no secrets in this palace. The noble concubine has gone to Cining Palace to invite the Queen Mother.

Kill one person to serve as a warning to others to correct the palace rules. At this moment, the Queen Mother and other ladies are on their way to the Yangxin Palace."

When Wei Ning'er heard this, her heart was raised and her palms were sweating slightly. She closed her eyes and said after a moment: "Wu Shulai, can you find a way to invite the emperor?"

"Yes, if the girl gives the order, I will immediately order someone to invite the emperor. I can also guarantee you, girl, that if the emperor does not come back for a moment, the servant will not let anyone enter this dormitory for a moment, not even the Queen Mother. Who wants to

Come in, step on the slave's body over there!" A flash of determination flashed in Wu Shulai's eyes.

The reason why Wei Ning'er is facing such a big crisis today is all his fault. If she loses her life, how will he face Hu Shijie?

"Thank you, Eunuch. May I ask Eunuch, is the Queen's injury better?" Wei Ning'er was still unwilling to give up.

"The Empress was injured. Although she recovered, she did not come. Concubine Xian was also called the imperial doctor yesterday. At this time, she was still lying in the Yikun Palace. Xiugui was moved to get angry, let alone come, except

They, all the empresses in the harem came with the Empress Dowager." Wu Shulai said calmly.

"Is there no way to invite the Queen?" Wei Ning'er whispered.

"Young lady, you are so stupid. You are a member of the Queen's palace. How could she come if something like this happened? Even if she came, she would not be able to protect you. As the master of the harem, she would have to follow the instructions of her ancestors.

The rules left behind punish you, and if she doesn't come now, she will be protecting you!" Wu Shulai sighed.

When Wei Ning'er heard this, her eyes turned slightly red, and she immediately said to Wu Shulai: "Then you go and invite the emperor!" Although she was unwilling in every possible way, that was all that happened so far.

"Yes, I will make arrangements right now. Miss, just wait here with peace of mind!" Wu Shu said and hurriedly left the dormitory.

Wei Ning'er felt her whole body go limp, collapsed on the chair, and laughed out loud.

She laughed at herself for being stupid, for being stupid, for being spineless. Just now she was seeking death in front of the emperor, but now she had to beg him to save her life and the lives of the Wei family.

How ironic, he destroyed her, but she still humbly crouched at his feet and begged him for a favor, a chance for herself and her family to live.

She was the one who should be hated and angry, but now she has become the unforgivable sinner? Why is this?

Because she is the most humble existence in the palace, a little palace maid that everyone can trample on.

If there is really no choice in this life but to stay in this palace, do you really want to be a little palace maid for the rest of your life? Wei Ning'er couldn't help but ask herself.

After a moment, she shook her head slightly. Even though the rice was ready for cooking, she did not give up her intention to leave the palace.

Even if she can't be with Fu Heng, she just needs to be able to look at him quietly, not to mention she still has her mother to take care of.

Just when Wei Ning'er was in a state of confusion, the Queen Mother had already led all the ladies to the outside of the back bedroom of Yangxin Hall.

"I would like to say hello to the Queen Mother! I would like to say hello to all the empresses, and to all the young masters!" Wu Shulai led everyone to kneel down to say hello.

There was silence all around, not even the sound of anyone breathing could be heard.

Just when Wu Shulai was sweating coldly, the Queen Mother's slightly stern voice sounded: "Get up!"

"Yes, thank you, Queen Mother!" Wu Shulai and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.

Although he promised in front of Wei Ning'er that he could stop the Queen Mother and others, at this moment Wu Shulai realized that he was somewhat powerless. It was not that he was timid, but because the Queen Mother was staring at him like this, he felt that he did not dare to move his whole body, and his legs

She was so weak that she still had the courage to stop the Queen Mother.

"Where is Wei Ning'er?" the Queen Mother asked casually.

"The Queen Mother is in the bedroom!" Wu Shulai forced himself to calm down and replied.

"That's good. The provincial Ai family will send people to search for her all over the palace. Go and ask her to come out!" The Queen Mother smiled, but her smile contained an undercurrent before the storm.

"Yes, I obey the order!" Wu Shulai had no choice but to respond and then entered the dormitory, and then left after a while.

"Where is he?" The Queen Mother had lost her patience.
