As soon as Sanfu left, Concubine De's eyes turned cold, "It seems that Zhao Feifei can't wait to get rid of me."

She leaned back on the chair, "I originally thought that she was stupid and brainless, so it would be good to just keep it fun, but she would have hit the knife edge herself."

Jade knew that the empress had murderous intentions. She lowered her head without any mercy in her heart.

Concubine De held her cheek with her hand and smiled slowly, "Now that we are in the palace, if a concubine dies of illness, it will be no big deal."

She stood up, and Feicui quickly held up her hand and walked into the inner hall. Concubine De slowly came to the bed, took out a small box from under the pillow, and opened it to reveal the bright red paste inside.

She rubbed the body of the box with her hand, "It's a pity that this ointment was hard-earned. It was originally used to deal with the woman who made His Majesty fall in love, but now, Zhao Feifei has made me unhappy."

She closed the lid of the box and said, "Then, it will be the same when used on her."

She turned around and put the ointment in Jade's hand, "You came to Kyoto with me, and then accompanied me into this deep palace. Hongyu betrayed me, but you still kept your heart. Now I can

I entrust everything to you."

She gently held Jade's hand and said, "I leave this matter to you. Make sure Zhao Feifei eats three meals a day."

Her eyes fell on her with pity, "But remember, if you are involved, I would rather not use this ointment. I only have you now, and protecting yourself is the most important thing."

Jade knelt down and said, "Don't worry, I will complete the task."

Concubine De gently stroked her hair with her fingers and said in an extremely gentle tone, "I trust you."

After Jade left, Concubine De's expression returned to calm inch by inch. She stood there and smiled unconsciously, her eyes showing a bit of coldness.

Then she slowly walked to the soft couch and sat down. It was a little dark in the palace, and the lamp was lit. The expression of Concubine De became more and more gloomy. She grinded the petals in her hand little by little until they were completely soft and rotten.

"Your Majesty, would you like some tea," Pearl's voice came steadily.

Concubine De closed her eyes, covering up the strange look in her eyes, and said in a gentle and calm tone, "Bring it in."

Pearl came in with a tray. Concubine De seemed a little surprised when she saw the tea on it, "It's hard for you to bother with the flower tea."

Hearing this, Pearl pursed her lips and revealed a smile, "Your Majesty is in a bad mood today, and my servant is so vulgar that I can't say sweet words to make her happy, so I thought that drinking some scented tea would help my Majesty feel better."

Concubine De took the scented tea and took a sip. Her lips smiled calmly and gently, "You are interested." She raised her head and took a closer look at the pearl. "How old are you this year?"

Pearl's cheeks were slightly red, "My slave has just turned twenty this year."

Concubine De looked at her and said, "Twenty years of life are in the prime of life. Other families are getting married and having children at this time. Do you have any ideas?"

Pearl was startled, then she knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to comb my hair and serve you all my life."

Concubine De sighed softly, "The palace maid can be released from the palace at the age of twenty-five. Are you really willing to stay with me forever?"

Pearl looked serious, and she kowtowed respectfully, "I am willing to serve my master all my life, and I hope that my master will fulfill my wish."
