"I think she also doesn't want to stay quietly in this palace anymore." Xū Róng smiled slightly, and didn't say anything else.

  Chu Lian quietly took in Xi Rong's expressionless face, knowing that the purpose of her words had been achieved. She leaned into Xi Rong's arms, but the resentment in her eyes was dark and deep.

  "The wind is strong, you should go back to the palace first. Today is the first day of the month, I have to go to Yu Guifei's place." Xū Róng held Chu Liǎnrú's hand, with a hint of apology in his tone.

  Chu Lian almost hated that she couldn't make Xu Rong disappear before her eyes, but instead calmly smiled and curtsied: "Your Majesty, please go quickly, this is the ancestral rule, no room for sloppiness, I am not bothered."

  Seeing Chu Lian's thoughtfulness, Xi Rong nodded in satisfaction and the two of them lingered for a while longer, basking in each other's affection before parting ways.

  In the Yuhuan Palace, Chulian Ruo was holding a pair of scissors to trim the plum blossoms that Simicro had picked earlier. The crimson plum blossoms became even more vibrant under Chulian Ruo's trimming. Looking at the already perfectly trimmed flower branch, she finally put down the scissors.

  "Master, this flower has already been trimmed perfectly." Si Wei took the scissors from Chu Lian Ruo's hand and said with a smile.

  A faint smile, Chu Lian slightly waved her hand, the flower was indeed trimmed very well according to her own heart's desire, but this harem, had not yet been completely in her own hands, what needed to be done next, was just to make this harem like this plum blossom, follow her own heart's desire.

  "Not nearly enough."

  Youyou walked in and out, and after being with Chulian for a long time, the originally cold and icy her had gradually begun to learn how to reveal her own joys and sorrows.

  Chu Lian nodded slightly, no wonder Xū Yáng had given Qīngqīng to herself in the first place. It wasn't just because of her martial arts skills and medical expertise, but also because Qīngqīng had a very flexible mind. And such a person was exactly the kind who suited following her.

  "I knew you'd understand. Are the medicines I asked you to prepare ready?" Chu Lian said, touching the inlaid nail on her finger, her face expressionless.

  "This elixir is indeed difficult to prepare, but since there are many types of medicinal herbs in Cangzhou, I have already prepared them." Qingqing said with a smile.

  She let out a soft hum and closed her eyes. In the previous life, she had given herself to Xū Róng body and soul, only to end up with a tragic death in the cold palace. This life, all the hardships would be repaid to him, letting him taste the flavor of being schemed against by the person he cared about most. The fantasy medicine was just the beginning.

  "Are you ready?" After a long time, Chu Lian slowly opened her eyes and asked in a low voice.

  "Don't worry, young master, everything is ready." Qiang nodded in response.

  Chu Lian closed her eyes again, presumably tired, and fell asleep after a while.

  At this time in the Qinhua Palace, Xurong was having lunch with Shi Yu Yin. As they looked around, it was truly a feast of jade and delicacies, with fragrant aromas filling the entire room.

  Looking at Xi Rong who was eating silently without saying a word, Shi Yu Yin couldn't help but feel a little nervous. In the past, when dining in her own palace, Xi Rong wouldn't talk much either, but would always ask about some matters within the harem. But today's Xi Rong was completely different from usual. Even though Shi Yu Yin was usually good at guessing the emperor's intentions, she couldn't figure out what Xi Rong was thinking this time.

  "Ai fei, what's wrong?" Xū Róng naturally noticed Shī Yùyīn's expression and couldn't help but ask.

  Xu Yu put down the jade chopsticks in her hand and looked at Xiang Rong. The misty distant mountains were blurred into a mass, matching that hesitant expression, which actually made people want to hold her in their arms.

  "Your Majesty, is it that today's meal doesn't suit your taste? You look so unhappy. Seeing you like this, I, your subject, can't eat either." Shi Yu Yin had a tearful expression, which actually moved Xu Rong slightly.

  "Lonely and asking you, today, did the Butterfly Imperial Concubine bully the Evening Imperial Concubine?" Seeing Shi Yu Yin like this, Xu Rong also lost his appetite for dinner, so he put down his jade chopsticks and asked.

  As expected, Shi Yu Yin thought to herself, it was indeed because of the new imperial concubine Xi Huang. But what surprised her was that Xu Rong would ask if Yuan Meng Die had been bullying her, she must have said something to the Emperor, it seemed that she hadn't thought of making an enemy out of herself yet. Shi Yu Yin smiled coldly and raised her head, transforming into a helpless expression.

  "Your Majesty, you also know the temperament of Imperial Consort Yu, perhaps it's just that she's not happy in her heart after seeing new people entering the palace." Shi Yuyin also said tactfully. She knew that the more gentle she appeared, the more she could set off Yu Mengdie's arrogance, and the more considerate she was, the more she could set off Yu Mengdie's unreasonable behavior.

  Xu Rong heard Shi Yu Yin's words, which were tinged with a hint of helplessness, and her already serious face became even more somber. In the past, she had turned a blind eye to her actions because she was the daughter of the Prime Minister, but now that she had found fault with Chu Lian Ruo, it couldn't be blamed on him for being heartless.

  "It seems that the last confinement didn't teach her a lesson after all." Xu Rong's tone was laced with an unspoken chill, startling Shi Yuyin into a tremble. "Yuer, you keep an eye on her. I'm curious to see what other storms she can stir up. When the time comes, we'll settle old and new accounts together."

  Shi Yu said in a low voice, "Yes", the triumphant expression on her face reappeared. Yuan Mengdie had been against her since she entered the palace, and now that Xi Yun was also in the palace, she had turned her spearhead towards Xi Yun again. How could this not provoke Xi Rong's resentment?

  "Never mind, I'll go to the imperial study first. I'll come over again in the evening." Xū Róng rubbed his temples. Nowadays, the northern barbarians were becoming more and more lawless, harassing the border people, and even his own harem was not at peace, which was really a headache for him.

  Xī Róng was about to leave, and although Shī Yù Yīn was reluctant, she could only smile and see Xī Róng off. Once Xī Róng had walked far away, the smile on her face transformed into a sinister expression.

  "Autumn Ping, this afternoon, what did you find?" Calling Autumn Ping over, Shi Yuyin felt a bit tired. The whole day of intrigue and struggle had also made her somewhat overwhelmed.

  Qiu Ping walked over, dismissed the maids by her side, and closed the door before saying: "I only saw Gui Ren and Xi Pin in the Imperial Garden, they seemed to be in a very unhappy mood."

  Upon hearing this, Shi Yu Yin slightly furrowed her brow. Xiang Gui Ren, that brainless woman, actually had some unpleasantness with Xi Huang, weren't they sisters from the same womb? Why would they be unhappy upon meeting? Or was there something unmentionable going on?

  Suddenly, the figure of Xuyang appeared in her mind. This Yu'e, and Feng Wangfei were quite similar, even like one person. One person, Shi Yuyin couldn't help but furrow her brow, Yu'e and Feng Wangfei's appearance overlapped again, that elegant demeanor, that slender figure, and that almost identical smile, this was clearly the same person.

  "Go and investigate, does the Governor of Xunzhou have a fifth daughter?" Shi Yuyin couldn't help but take a cold breath. If this Xi Wangfei was indeed the same person as the one from back then, then this move to switch them out would be truly well played. Her expression became even more gloomy, and Autumn Ping beside her didn't dare to breathe loudly.

  "You must secretly investigate, and absolutely cannot let the Emperor find out." With her hand supporting her forehead, Shi Yu Yin seemed somewhat fatigued, looking rather haggard.

  Qiu Ping nodded silently and didn't dare say anything else, standing still by the side. At this time, outside the Qinhua Palace, a small palace maid with an unremarkable appearance and a faint smile quickly left.

  At this time, in the Yihuan Palace, Qing was whispering something into Chu Lianruo's ear, only to see Chu Lianruo's face getting worse and worse, finally clenching her fists.

  "Unexpectedly, Shi Yu Yin has become suspicious so quickly." Chu Lian Ruo let out a soft hum, and indeed she had underestimated her. It seemed that in this deep palace, these days hadn't been easy for her either, after all there was also Yuan Meng Die stirring up trouble for her. Of course, this was exactly what Chu Lian Ruo had in mind.

  She looked at Chu Lianruo in front of her, as if something had changed, but this also made her more determined to follow her heart. She vaguely remembered the first time she saw Chu Lianruo, that faint sense of alienation, that shallow temperament, the whole person seemed to have walked out of a painting. And now Chu Lianruo, with every gesture and movement, had a gentle and elegant charm, a soft and alluring quality in her smile, though it was full of various charms, but without any annoying worldly aura, instead, it only increased her beauty.

  "Qing qing, I'm afraid there's something you need to do," Chu Lian said after thinking for a moment. "Tonight, when you return to the Wang Fu, tell the Wang about this matter. Presumably, His Highness will be able to resolve it."

  Not bad, at this time, such a thing, only Wang Xiu Yang can solve it.

  What appears before my eyes is Xuyang's tall figure, and the last farewell with reluctance. It has been more than a month since I left, and I don't know how he is doing now.

  "You nodded, 'Young Master, the one in the Cold Palace now must be hating you to the bone. If Yu Guifei thought of it, I'm afraid even the King wouldn't be able to save you.'"

  "That's it, no more hesitation." Si Wei revealed a ruthless expression, thinking back to when they were at the Governor's Mansion, Chu Wanru had never been kind to Chu Lianru. Now that their positions were reversed, it was time to give her a taste of her own medicine.

  Chu Lian smiled slightly, naturally understanding the reason why Si Wei said that, but she shook her head, "Don't worry, it's not time yet. I want to take them down one by one, this is just the beginning." On her face was a confident and self-assured expression, with bright and piercing eyes that shone with an captivating light.

  Since she made up her mind to enter the palace, she never thought of getting along with anyone peacefully. What she wanted was to make the harem turbulent and let those who had experienced pain taste it bit by bit. Perhaps some were bloodthirsty, but when she was trapped in prison herself, no one cared, nor did anyone want to help her. So, all those related to her would be repaid with their own methods.

  Looking at Chu Lian Ruo like this, Si thought with a smile. Since entering the Wang Fu, Miss has completely changed into another person. Although it feels a bit strange, but only such a Miss is worth going through fire and water for, even if it means sacrificing one's own life.

  "Today is the first day of the month, he's going to Qinghuagong, you can close the palace gate now, I'm tired too." Chu Lianruo waved her hand slightly, indicating that Wei and Qinger could leave.
