The imperial concubine felt very disappointed, but she saw Wei Ning'er in the emperor's arms looking at her intently, her eyes full of provocation.【】

The imperial concubine felt an unknown anger surge up, and her face turned slightly unnaturally red. After taking a deep breath, a hint of sinisterness flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled and said, "I don't know where my sister is."

Comfortable!"

Wei Ning'er leaned in the emperor's arms and squinted her eyes, but did not answer, as if she had not heard her words.

"My sister must be happy, right?" the imperial concubine said with a malicious smile.

The emperor's hand holding the spoon trembled suddenly, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. He immediately put down the spoon and said to Wu Shulai beside him: "Go and teach the imperial doctor!"

Wei Ning'er smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I am fine, I am not sick, let alone happy!" After saying this, Wei Ning'er deliberately glanced at the gloomy imperial concubine and said with a smile: "I'm just a little dizzy, maybe I'm suffering from heatstroke.

, I feel much better after drinking mung bean soup. Your Majesty, I don’t want to stay in the palace, it’s very boring!”

"Then I'll take you out for a walk. The peonies blooming beautifully in recent days!" After the emperor said that, he took Wei Ning'er's hand and walked out of the palace and walked outside the Zuixin Garden.

The imperial concubine and others, who had been ignored by the emperor from beginning to end, stared blankly at their retreating figures, and did not come back to their senses until no one was around.

"Your Majesty, your concubine is too presumptuous. Look at her. She doesn't seem to be ill, but she still has the energy to accompany the emperor. She obviously deliberately didn't go to greet you, your Majesty." Yibin couldn't help but raise her voice.

, said.

The imperial concubine was furious, and hearing what Yibin said was just adding fuel to the fire. She turned around and glared at Yibin fiercely, then walked away.

"I'm just telling the truth, why is she so angry?" Yibin was frightened by the cruel look of the imperial concubine. After the imperial concubine left, she muttered anxiously.

"Do you think she is still the same as before?" Concubine Shu sneered: "You still don't understand. Not everyone in the palace is as kind as Queen Xiaoxian!"

"Then where should we go from now on?" Yibin couldn't help but asked in a low voice.

"Just wait and see what happens. Anyway... the fight between them is not something that we can interfere with. If you insist on getting involved, you will be used as a pawn by others and you will die without knowing how. Sister, you'd better... restrain yourself."

!" Concubine Shu said thoughtfully.

Concubine Yi nodded lightly. Although she was a little reluctant, what Concubine Shu said was indeed true.

The peonies with the moon and open clouds are naturally very beautiful. After Wei Ning'er accompanied the emperor to enjoy the flowers, she had lunch before returning to Zuixin Garden.

"Your Majesty!" When Xiao Yizi saw Wei Ning'er returning with Bingruo and others, he immediately went to greet her and whispered beside her: "The matter that Your Majesty asked me to investigate has already been revealed."

Wei Ning'er waved her hand gently to signal him not to say anything yet. After entering the inner hall and sitting on a chair, she asked in a low voice: "Who is it?"

"Your Majesty, last month, a rough eunuch who was carrying your carriage was injured, so I went to the House of Internal Affairs to pick one. This new eunuch is the most suspicious." Xiao Yizi said in a low voice.

.

"Call him over!" Wei Ning'er said in a deep voice.

"Yes, empress!" Xiao Yizi immediately went down and brought the person up.

For fear of leaking the news, the little eunuch had already been tied up by Xiao Yizi's leaders, with rags stuffed in his mouth.

"Untie him!" Wei Ning'er gently raised her hand and said.

"My dear, this slave is so tight. It took a lot of effort to capture him. It would be more appropriate to tie him up." Xiao Yizi was a little worried.

Wei Ning'er played with the gilt armor in her hand and said with a smile: "Since he is so fierce, then drag him down and break his legs before bringing him back. I guess by then he will be honest!"

"Empress!" Xiao Yizi and Bingruo both looked at her in disbelief when they heard this. In their impression, the master had never been so cruel.

The little eunuch also struggled hard.

Wei Ning'er sneered and said: "When Cheng Liang betrayed me, I was extremely merciful and kicked him out of the palace. On that day, the palace said that if anyone in the palace dared to cheat on me again, I would never give him mercy." Wei Ning'er said this.

, said to Xiao Yizi: "The people who dragged the man down and returned to the Shenxing Department said that this dog slave stole something given to me by the emperor. I first gave him fifty punishments and then brought him back. I

The palace wants to interrogate it personally."

"Yes, empress!" Xiao Yizi's face was full of solemnity, and he dragged the little eunuch off the ground and walked out.

"Bingruo, tell me, is this palace's punishment too severe?" Wei Ning'er took a deep breath, with a wry smile on her face. Even today, she has to be cruel.

"Today is different from the past. Madam, you are now a concubine. You must be more careful and the servants around you must not make the slightest mistake, otherwise you will be doomed." Bingruo said seriously.

"Yes, I have told them time and again not to have second thoughts. If we can't scare the monkeys now, there is no guarantee that they will do it again!" Wei Ning'er's face gradually became serious.

About an hour later, Xiao Yizi and the others came back dragging the little eunuch who was covered in blood.

"Xiao Yizi, how do you do things, and you are not afraid of staining the eyes of the empress!" Bingruo saw the little eunuch being beaten like that, and his heart thumped, and then he picked up the cloth and threw it on the eunuch to cover it.

Bloodstains.

"What happened? Have you confessed?" Wei Ning'er asked in a low voice.

"Mother, this slave bitch is very tough-talking. He has endured all the pain and still kept silent." Xiao Yizi said, sweating profusely.

"Don't you want to do it?" A smile appeared on Wei Ning'er's face, and then she said softly: "Take him down!"

"This..." Xiao Yizi did not expect that Wei Ning'er would spare the little eunuch. After being surprised, he had someone drag him down.

"Why did the empress spare him so lightly?" Bingruo asked with some confusion.

"Now that I have found out that he is the traitor, I feel relieved. As for who is the person behind him, the future is long and I am not in a hurry." Wei Ning'er said with a smile.

It was getting late, and Wei Ning'er was waiting for the emperor to come to Zuixin Garden for dinner as usual, but after a while, there was no sign of the emperor.

"Mother, Eunuch Wu is here!" Just as Wei Ning'er was looking out the window in confusion, Bingruo whispered in her ear.

"Well, please invite him in!" Wei Ning'er calmed down and said softly.

"yes!"

After a while, Wu Shulai came into the palace, gave him a thousand dollars, and said respectfully: "May your concubine be blessed with peace of mind!"

Seeing Wu Shulai coming alone, Wei Ning'er knew that the emperor would not come to her palace tonight, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After all, the emperor had been accompanying her these days, and it had become a habit over time.

"Get up!" Wei Ning'er came to her senses and saw Wu Shulai still kneeling.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wu Shulai stood up and said with a smile: "My Majesty, just now I accompanied the Emperor to Zuixin Garden, but the Emperor was invited away by the Queen Mother halfway through!"

Wei Ning'er nodded gently and said with a smile: "I know, thank you, father-in-law!"

"Your Majesty, why should you be polite to me? I have resigned. If anything happens to the Emperor, I will send someone to report to you!" Wu Shulai said with a smile.

Wei Ning'er nodded gently: "Thank you, Eunuch!"

Wu Shulai bowed again and then withdrew.

Wei Ning'er knew that the emperor had been staying in her palace for more than a month, and people in the harem had already been talking about it. The queen mother would definitely not stand idly by, and what happened today was what she expected.

"Bingruo, pass the meal around!" Wei Ning'er turned her head and smiled at Bingruo.

"Yes, Master!"

After dinner, Wei Ning'er went to Lu Yunxi's Ruchu Terrace to sit for a while, and then returned to Zuixin Garden late at night.

"Madam, Eunuch Wu just sent his servants to report that the Emperor has announced a newly promoted Bahrain nobleman to attend your bed today!" Qingyan whispered in Wei Ning'er's ear.

"Yeah!" Wei Ning'er nodded lightly and didn't say much.

Bingruo was afraid that she would be unhappy, so she said softly: "Your Majesty, the Bahrain nobleman and Lin Changzai have been in the palace for three months, and the emperor has not visited them. It is also inconsistent with the ancestral rules. This must be why the Queen Mother advised the emperor.

"

"I know!" Wei Ning'er's face looked normal, but there was a hint of bitterness in her heart. Did she care too much?

"It's getting late, please take a rest while serving me!" Wei Ning'er ordered Bingruo.

"Yes, empress!" Bingruo responded and helped her into the bedroom.

Wei Ning'er finished washing up and was about to take a rest when Qingyan came in and whispered: "I'd like to express my gratitude to you, Miss Lu Mo, who is beside the Queen Mother. I want to see you!"

"Lu Mo!" Wei Ning'er was slightly startled. Could it be that the Queen Mother wanted to cause trouble for her again? Thinking of this, Wei Ning'er frowned and pondered for a moment before saying: "Let her come in!"

"May your concubine be blessed!" Lu Mo walked in with delicate steps, bent down and whispered softly.

"What are your orders from the Queen Mother?" Wei Ning'er asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager did not ask me to come here. I have something to discuss with you privately!" Lu Mo said respectfully.

Wei Ning'er was even more surprised. She had never had any contact with the maid in charge of the Queen Mother's side, so naturally there was nothing to discuss.

"Why did Auntie say this?" Wei Ning'er asked with some vigilance.

"Your Majesty, this servant is here for Qingzhu's business!" Lu Mo took a deep breath and said.

"Qingzhu!" Wei Ning'er's eyes suddenly darkened, and then she shouted in a low voice, "What do you know?"

Lu Mo calmed down and said calmly: "I would like to inform you that Qingzhu was poisoned and killed by the eunuch who was a rough eunuch in your palace.

"What did you say?" Wei Ning'er was shocked and her face changed drastically.

"Your Majesty, Qingzhu is no longer useful. It's just a burden to everyone. It's better to get rid of it early. To get rid of the imperial concubine, she can't do it with just the testimony of a palace maid. Lu Mo paused after saying this.
