"Yes, I pushed her... so what? She took my things, and I just asked her to give them back. Is it wrong?"
Mu Jingyan stood up excitedly and glared at Xiao Yujue angrily.
When the steward on the side saw it, he just sighed silently and shook his head.
In the entire harem, only Mu Jingyan dared to talk to Xiao Yujue like this.
Xiao Yujue saw that Mu Jingyan was angry, and realized that her tone was a bit harsh, so she smiled softly, took her hand and said, "Look, I haven't said anything yet, you are angry."
"Hmph." Mu Jingyan withdrew his hand from Xiao Yujue's palm, "Are you still talking about me? How do you say you are talking about me?"
Xiao Yujue was a little tired and pinched her temples. "Okay, okay, just pretend that I didn't say anything, okay?"
Mu Jingyan looked at Xiao Yujue's appearance and felt a little distressed. He stood up and walked around behind him to squeeze his shoulders.
"Reporting to the Emperor, I am asking for an audience with you."
Mu Jingyan stopped what he was doing, turned around and was about to walk to the room. He didn't want to pay attention to it, but Mu Jingyan grabbed his wrist and stopped him.
"After all, you are also the head of the Sixth Palace. If you don't have such magnanimity, who else will obey you in the future?"
Mu Jingyan didn't want to embarrass Xiao Yujue, so he had to sit down obediently.
Not long after, Wu Pianpian walked in with the support of her grandma.
Due to the injury to the back of her head, she did not pull up her hair, and most of her black hair hung down around her waist. She had no makeup on her pale face. She had just come out of the cold, her body was trembling slightly, and she looked pitiful.
"I, my concubine, see the Emperor and the Queen."
"You are injured, so there is no need to be polite."
Xiao Yujue made a gesture, and the head chamberlain stepped forward to help him. This was already an extra favor.
"Your Majesty..." Wu Pianpian raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Yujue, tears rolling down her face.
She took the green plum from her mother's hand and slowly walked to Mu Jingyan.
"Empress, the concubine knows that she was wrong. Please be happy and angry. I will never dare to do it again in the future."
With that said, Wu Pianpian knelt down in front of Mu Jingyan again, holding the green plum in both hands and raising it above her head.
Mu Jingyan frowned, feeling very disdainful.
Wu Pianpian didn't have such an attitude this morning, and now she is acting in front of Xiao Yujue.
"Xiaoyan, since Duanbi has apologized, let's forget it."
Xiao Yujue saw that Wu Pianpian was struggling to hold the green plum, and Mu Jingyan was indifferent, so he said on Mu Jingyan's behalf: "The queen won't blame you, just get up. This matter is over, and no one should mention it again in the future.
"
Wu Pianpian did not get up, but looked at Mu Jingyan with tears in her eyes, as if she was very afraid of her.
"Come here, take the green plums and put them away." Mu Jingyan accepted the green plums, hoping to put an end to this matter.
"Thank you, Queen. I will retire."
Wu Pianpian bowed and exited. After taking only two steps, her body was shaking.
The palace maid next to her hurriedly supported her.
"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor told you not to get out of bed and move around, why didn't you listen?" Grandma started crying as she spoke.
Seeing this, Xiao Yujue stepped forward to support Wu Pianpian. Wu Pianpian leaned into his arms, looked at him affectionately, and fainted completely.
Xiao Yujue had no choice but to hug her up.
"Pass on the Imperial Physician."
Mu Jingyan watched Xiao Yujue leave with Wu Pianpian in his arms, and stood there blankly, unable to recover for a long time.
For the first time, she realized that Xiao Yujue did not belong to her alone.
However, she still has a small expectation in her heart.
She kept waiting and waiting... She thought Xiao Yujue would come back after sending Wu Pianpian back to the palace, but...
From dusk to dawn, Xiao Yujue never came back.
Mu Jingyan's heart grew colder little by little.
"The Queen, concubines... please say hello outside the door."
Mu Jingyan's thoughts were pulled back by the palace maid, and she realized that it was already getting cold. She actually sat by the window all night.
"What is she here for?"
"Yesterday...the emperor asked her to sleep with her. According to the rules...that's what she should be..."
Mu Jingyan's tears fell instantly.
She had already understood and accepted that Xiao Yujue would not be the only woman. However, she could not accept that Xiao Yujue favored Wu Pianpian under the circumstances like yesterday.
This is tantamount to telling everyone in the harem that she is wrong.
"No, tell her to go back." Mu Jingyan said angrily.
The palace maid went out, but came back after a while. "The queen, the concubine said that if you refuse to accept her greetings, she will not be able to kneel down..."
"Then let her kneel down. I want to see how long she, a delicate young lady, can last."
After Mu Jingyan finished speaking, he went to bed angrily, wanting to temporarily escape from the things in front of him.
Maybe she was too tired, or maybe she felt too wronged, but not long after she leaned on the pillow, she actually fell asleep.
Everyone around her knew her temper, and no one dared to disturb her.
Mu Jingyan slept until the afternoon. When she woke up, the palace maid told her that Wu Pianpian had left.
However, she did not leave on her own; she collapsed on her knees outside and was carried away by people in her palace.
Mu Jingyan felt vaguely uneasy.
This matter was originally a common jealousy in the harem, but for some reason, it became a problem in the court.
The official wrote a letter to impeach Mu Jingyan, but as the head of the Sixth Palace, he had no capacity to accommodate others; after marrying into the royal family, he failed to give birth to children for the emperor, but he was extremely jealous and restricted the emperor from recruiting other concubines.
As for the newly selected beautiful women who entered the palace, they all became decorations.
Xiao Yujue could feel that Wu Pianpian's family must have put a lot of effort into this matter secretly.
Otherwise, who has the time to take care of his harem?
Xiao Yujue originally planned to pretend that he didn't hear or see, hoping to let the matter go, but he didn't expect...
It's not as simple as he thought.
The more he pretended to be nonchalant, the more memorials he received from the officials, which made Mu Jingrui's confidants unable to stand it anymore.
Mu Jingrui was not in the capital, so these people fought back in order to protect Mu Jingyan, and the situation evolved so much that Xiao Yujue had to take care of it.
In order to settle the matter, Xiao Yujue had no choice but to punish Mu Jingyan on the grounds that she was jealous.
A monthly fine of six months and a one-month suspension.
This little punishment is actually nothing.
Even if there was no monthly payment, Xiao Yujue would not treat Mu Jingyan badly; what's more, with the current power of the Mu family, Mu Jingrui would not be able to wrong his sister.
As for being grounded for a month, that's even more insignificant. In fact, it was Xiao Yujue who was protecting Mu Jingyan.
Xiao Yujue hopes that the incident can be settled.
He thought Mu Jingyan would understand, but he was kicked out when he went to visit her. He had no choice but to go to the Imperial Study Room to review the memorial.
Late at night, a loud noise broke the silence of the night sky.
