Shi Yu Yin, who was standing beside her, broke out in a cold sweat. If she had just helped Yuan Meng Die speak up, the consequences would have been severe. Now that Yuan Meng Die was being confined, it could be considered an unexpected joy. Moreover, the power to govern the six palaces had returned to her own hands.

  Shi Yu Yin's face revealed a smile, she was an intelligent person, and since Yuan Meng Die had been brought back to the New Moon Palace, she naturally wanted to help the Emperor with his good deed. A sense of desolation rose in her heart, but her face still wore a smile, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

  Xu Rong heard this and her originally cold expression relaxed a bit. This Yu Fei was indeed an intelligent person.

  Chu Lian seemed to know that Shi Yu Yin was feeling triumphant at this moment. Originally, before Yuan Meng Die entered the palace, the Empress Dowager rarely interfered with matters, and the power of the harem fell into Shi Yu Yin's hands. But after Yuan Meng Die entered the palace, not only was she granted the title of Guifei, but also assisted in governing the six palaces together with her. Shi Yu Yin must have felt uncomfortable in her heart. She had risen from a humble concubine to her current position through careful planning and effort, but Yuan Meng Die, due to her noble birth, received more favor as soon as she entered the palace, making Shi Yu Yin feel resentful. Now that Yuan Meng Die was not only confined for three months but also stripped of her power to govern the six palaces, her uncontrollable joy could no longer be concealed.

  But she wouldn't have thought that after Yu Mengdie's confinement was lifted, her days would be even more unbearable. Moreover, Yu Mengdie was deeply favored by the Empress Dowager, so how could she really be confined for three months? Thinking of this, Chu Lianruo looked at Shi Yuyin's departing back and a mocking smile played on her lips.

  Xu Rong looked at Chu Lianruo's swollen face, her eyebrows furrowed. She stretched out her hand, but before she could touch her face, it was dodged away. Xu Rong's eyebrows furrowed even deeper, only to see Chu Lianruo kneeling on the ground, her face full of grievance, and her eyes filled with sparkling tears, looking especially pitiful.

  "You're dissatisfied with how I handled things?"

  Chu Lian hurriedly shook her head, and a struggling expression seemed to appear on her face. However, when she raised her eyes, they were filled with deep emotions. "Your Majesty, please take back your true feelings for Lian."

  Xu Rong paused for a moment, and in an instant, he knew why she had a struggling expression on her face. Thinking of the tender affection in her eyes just now, Xu Rong's heart suddenly softened. (Cotton Candy)

  Looking at the pitiful and aggrieved Chu Lianruo in front of him, his eyes filled with tender feelings. He took a step forward, helped Chu Lianruo up, and had a self-reproachful look in his eyes: "Lianruo, I've wronged you."

  When Chu Lian heard Xun Rong's words, the tears in her eyes fell like pearls on a broken string. Her eyes were filled with tenderness but also a hint of confusion as she said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what to do. Just now, Consort Huigui's words were full of mockery. She said I was a seductress, always thinking of ways to enter the palace." She paused, her eyes filling with an even deeper sense of grievance: "Although I want to stay by your side forever, Your Majesty, I am after all the concubine of Prince Feng. Please, forget about me."

  When Chu Lianruo spoke, a hint of coldness flashed in Xū Róng's originally gentle eyes. A small prince, if he really wanted to, would he dare not give it?

  Chu Lianruo's eyes flickered as she saw Xiurong's expression change, and a cold smile formed in her heart. However, her face still wore an air of grievance and reluctance, with a hint of despair. "Just now, the palace servants all said that I, Lianruo, am an unclean person. As the concubine of the Crown Prince, I still try to seduce the Emperor." Chu Lianruo raised her eyes, looking at Xiurong with a bewildered expression: "Your Majesty, if this rumor spreads to the Yunwang Fu, I really won't be able to survive. In the Yunwang Fu, I will be criticized by others, and when I enter the palace to see Your Majesty, I am still treated this way because of my improper behavior. Your Majesty, how do you want me to live?"

  After hearing Chu Lianruo's words, Xū Róng's face also showed a hint of struggle. Originally, he was attracted to Chu Lianruo's elegance and thought that since she was the woman of the Feather King, it didn't matter if he took a liking to her too. It was precisely because she was the woman of the Feather King that his interest became even stronger. However, at present, the situation in the court was unclear, and the Prime Minister held great power in his hands. Even as the Son of Heaven, he did not dare to easily offend the Prime Minister.

  Just now, in order to help Chulian Ruo vent her anger, Yuan Mengdie has already been banned and stripped of her power as the deputy manager of the six palaces. Tomorrow morning at court, the prime minister will certainly bring this up. In such a situation, if Chu Lianruo is forcibly taken into the palace without discussion, it will inevitably lead to opposition from the ministers.

  Jian Xiu's face showed a struggling expression, and in Chu Lian's originally pitiful eyes, a cold smile flashed by.

  "Your Majesty, if I, Lotus, were to abandon King Fei because of you, I would be ridiculed by everyone and wouldn't be able to live with myself. Why not let me go to the Jing'an Temple and become a nun? I have no other desires, only to chant scriptures and pray for Buddha's blessings every day and night, praying for our great Huai Kingdom to have favorable winds and rains, and for Your Majesty's good health. That would be enough." Chu Lianruo cried so pitifully that Xi Rong couldn't bear it.

  After a long time, he suddenly fixed his gaze and said with determination, "Lian Ruo, I won't let you suffer this injustice. You wait for me." He paused for a moment, then continued, "You go back first, three days later, I will send someone to give you definite news."

  Xu Rong made such a decision, Chu Lian's heart relaxed, and the slaps she received today were not in vain. She knew that if she pressed Xu Rong too hard now, he might become resentful, so it was better to follow his wishes. She nodded obediently and smiled weakly: "Then I'll go back and wait for the Emperor's message."

  It was just a step away from the palace, Chu Lian relaxed a bit, but the wound on her face was really frightening. When she walked out of the palace gate, Si Wei, who was waiting outside, saw her swollen face and almost cried out in surprise.

  Chu Lian smiled lightly and said, "Nothing." She didn't say anything more, but when she saw Si Wei, she thought of something else.

  Nowadays, she must think of ways to enter the palace. After entering the palace, she needs a personal maid who can help her. Si Wei has always been by her side, doing everything with all her heart and soul, without any ulterior motives, and being quick-witted. If she could bring her along, it would be perfect.

  It's still unclear what she thinks in her heart, whether she is willing to enter the palace with him. Thinking of this, Chu Lian furrowed her brow, probably needing to find an opportune moment to ask about her intentions.

  The horse carriage arrived at the Wangfu of Ling, and Chulian got off the carriage.

  Qing saw Chu Lianruo and hurried over to pay her respects. However, when she raised her eyes and saw the wound on her face, a hint of surprise appeared on Qing's usually calm expression. But she didn't ask any questions, only saying: "Concubine Wang, the king is waiting for you in the study."

  Chu Lian's eyes showed a hint of fatigue upon hearing the words, as if she had seen Xi Yang and was afraid that he would again become fixated on the scars on her face. At this moment, nothing could be allowed to shake her, not even herself.

  But then again, there were some things that had to be told to him about today's events in the palace. Chu Lian nodded and followed Qing into the study.

  Chu Lian walked into the study, raised her eyes and saw a man standing in front of the window, holding a long flute with a delicate face - Wei Qu. She understood that since the situation in the mansion was unclear, they had to make some excuses when meeting each other. And this Wei Qu was the best excuse.

  He wore a light purple robe with wide sleeves, his demeanor majestic and his face stern as he sat in the main seat. When he saw Chu Lianruo, a hint of tenderness flashed across his eyes, but only for an instant, that hint of tenderness turned into boundless anger, her face was actually injured like this.

  Wei Qu got up and went through the motions of courtesy, then retreated to outside the door.

  Chu Lian had already noticed Xuyang's change in expression as soon as she entered the study, and her heart was clear: he must have seen the wound on her face.

  His eyes were fixed on the woman in front of him, her usual gentle and courteous demeanor enough to stir one's heart.

  Chu Lian raised her head, and the wound on her face was exposed in front of Xū Yáng. Her originally pale and delicate complexion was now swollen high, and even the palm print could be vaguely seen. She was so intelligent, how could she let someone hurt her like this?

  Xu Yang's heart ached, and he couldn't help but speak up, his voice laced with subtle repression: "Who hurt you?"

  "It doesn't matter."

  Xu Yang's face sank, his eyebrows furrowed: "Tell me."

  Chu Lian'er was taken aback, and Xi Yang's expression was rarely seen. After some thought, based on his abilities, if he wanted to know, even if she didn't say it, he would still find out through other channels. Chu Lian'er had no choice but to truthfully tell Xi Yang about her experiences in the palace.

  After hearing Chu Lianruo's words, Xuyang's face turned even darker. This woman, for the sake of such an opportunity, had endured so many slaps?

  Xu Yang suddenly stood up and walked towards Chu Lianruo.

  Chu Lian was startled by his sudden movement and took a step back.

  Xu Yang stretched out his hand, seemingly wanting to stroke her cheek, but looking at the ferocious wound, he was afraid of hurting her. His hand stopped near her cheek, paused for a moment, and then put it down.

  Chu Lian was taken aback by Xuyang's sudden move, but she quickly suppressed her panic and smiled at him, despite her swollen face. Her eyes sparkled even more than before after being washed with tears. She said: "Just getting slapped a few times is enough to get an opportunity to enter the palace, it's worth it. Otherwise, given Xurong's temperament, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to enter the palace."

  The light in her eyes was too dazzling, with a hint of self-confidence and the small cunning of successful strategy. The spirit made Xuyang pause for a moment, but when he heard Chulian's words, his relaxed eyebrows furrowed again. Looking at the woman in front of him, he couldn't say anything. He knew from the beginning that this was an inevitable step, but when he learned the result, he still couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

  After a long while, Xiang Yang looked at Chu Lian Ruo with a sympathetic gaze, "If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh, it will tug on your wound."

  Chu Lian was taken aback, unsure whether it was due to the tenderness in the man's eyes or his words.

  Xu Yang walked back to the desk, opened the drawer, took out a small crystal clear wide-mouthed bottle and handed it to Chu Lian Ruo: "This is a good medicine for treating external injuries."

  Chu Lian didn't answer, she just took the medicine.

  The two suddenly fell silent. After a while, as if thinking of something, Chu Lian said: "Today, Xu Rong was furious and confined Yuan Mengdie to her quarters. Tomorrow, when the prime minister goes to court, he will definitely be dissatisfied."

  Xu Yang naturally understood the meaning of her words, and their opportunity would begin from this. Although it was said that the harem was not allowed to interfere with politics, the women in the harem were often entangled in the political situation. Chu Lian's idea was to use the harem to stir up a change in the political situation of Da Hua country.

  Looking at the woman in front of him with a firm and unwavering gaze, Xū Yáng's heart rose with a desolate and heroic intention.
