She took a glance at Shi Yuyin, and indeed saw her frowning. Now there were only the three of them in this house, and she and Shi Yuyin had just arrived a moment ago. A cup of tea was still steaming hot, so it wasn't possible to say they were leaving directly.

  Just then, Xiurong had already stepped inside with big strides, a smile all over her face. "Why did the Empress Dowager summon me? That little eunuch looked very anxious."

  "They have seen the Emperor." Chu Lian and Shi Yu Yin hastily paid their respects.

  "Hey, Yu Fei and Yu Er are both here." Xu Rong seemed to have no opinion on not attending court today, nor did he think about why the Empress Dowager had called him over. "You two get up."

  Chu Lian and Shi Yu Yin both furrowed their brows slightly when they stood up, but afterwards everything was normal.

  "Emperor, don't you know why I called you over?" The Empress Dowager raised an eyebrow, with a tendency to get angry.

  Chu Lian thought to herself that it was a bad omen, today she shouldn't have followed Shi Yu Yin together, if the Empress Dowager were to shift her anger onto them, they would just have to endure it.

  Xu Rong glanced at the empress dowager again, and saw that Chu Lian was staring at him with a fierce gaze, but he still couldn't think of anything, "I hope the empress dowager will speak clearly."

  Chu Lian had already given Xiurong a hint, but Xiurong seemed to be pretending not to know, or perhaps he simply didn't take today's absence from court seriously.

  Xu Rong is not so incompetent, otherwise the Jiangshan would have been overthrown by Xu Yang long ago, and it's his turn to be so free and easy.

  The empress dowager was not unaware of Chu Lian's subtle signal to Xi Rong, and she felt a sense of comfort in her heart. At least it seemed that this Empress Xi was genuinely considering Xi Rong's well-being, and she liked her a little more for it.

  After all, the one who truly cared for her son was, apart from the late Qin Xiaoyue, daughter of General Qin of the capital, there was no one else in the palace. Shi Yuyin's feelings were not love, but possession. This possession may have started as affection, but later became a habit, and then it became a habitual struggle for favor among the people in the palace.

  But Xurong actually completely ignored this, which is an action that has no intention of repentance at all. (No pop-up ads)

  "Yu Fei, you and Yu Gui Fei go first. I have some words to discuss with the Emperor." The Empress Dowager glanced at Chu Lian Ru's anxious little face, then looked at Shi Yu Yin who was lowering her head in thought. In her heart, she could also imagine that if she were to scold the Emperor in front of them, it would be a disaster for them.

  If it were only Shi Yuyin alone, she would not have minded, but seeing Chu Lian's clear eyes, she could not bear to. This was the imperial harem, where when a pure person appeared, someone wanted to destroy her and drag her into the mud as well. Someone else wanted to protect her and keep her untainted.

  The Empress Dowager belonged to the latter.

  It's just that no one knows that for Chulian Ruo, all her innocence was buried in her past life as Qin Xiaoye. Chulian Ruo will never be again.

  Chu Lian and Shi Yu Yin both retreated together, but as they left, Chu Lian gave Xu Rong a glance.

  When the figures of the two people were no longer in the empress dowager's line of sight, she suddenly slapped her hand on the table and stood up. "Your Majesty, who you want to favor is none of my business, but don't forget your own identity."

  "After the empress, today I really got up late, not intentionally didn't go to attend the morning court." As soon as Chu Lian and others left, Xi Rong immediately apologized to the empress dowager. It turned out that he wasn't unaware, but was restrained by the two of them being there, and couldn't lose face in front of the emperor.

  "Is it really so? Wasn't it Shufei who came up with this plan?" The Empress Dowager was skeptical.

  "After becoming the empress, I am not a foolish person, how can I be a ruler who loves beauty but not the country?" Xú Róng smiled lightly, but in her heart, she was thinking of the intoxicating taste of last night with the imperial concubine."

  "You have a number in your heart, it's enough. For the next two days, you can stay at Ah Rou's place first. I've also found Lin Taiyi to take a look at Lu Luo's body, he said it's indeed beneficial for you." The Empress Dowager was after all a woman, saying such words was already her limit.

  He was taken aback for a moment, but then he had forgotten about the green gauze, and a smile appeared on his face... people are just greedy.

  "How could the Empress Dowager believe such a thing?" Xū Róng said, although he didn't refute the Empress Dowager's decision to have him stay here for two more days. Lin Taiyi didn't ask about it either, but since both Chǔ Jìng Xuān and he said so, then it must be true.

  "What's been circulating in the palace, Green Luo has served our family for a long time, I must get to the bottom of this." The Empress Dowager rubbed her temples, these days have been one thing after another, she was truly feeling a bit exhausted.

  He saw her like this and didn't say anything else, just responded to her words.

  Chu Lian had originally planned to let Shi Yu Yin remember the incident with Lu Luo, but unexpectedly, when she went today, Lu Luo was not by the Empress Dowager's side. As a result, Shi Yu Yin naturally couldn't recall this person. She was a noble who often forgot things. What she remembered in the evening at the Yican Palace, when pressed by the Empress Dowager at the Shoukang Palace, only thought of self-preservation. Where would she have the mind to care about whom Xun Rong favored?

  "Alas, it's another case of being one move short in chess." Chu Lian let out a sigh as she returned to the Xiyue Palace.

  "Don't worry, Master, Green Luo can't threaten you." Si Wei knew she was thinking about Green Luo.

  "I'm not afraid of her, it's just that we've used so many tactics, if we can't get her out of Shoukang Palace, all this trouble will be wasted."

  Si Wei stopped talking, and Chu Lian's words were also reasonable.

  "Anyway, today Yu Guifei was reprimanded by the Empress Dowager, and for a while those under her will have to be more subdued." Qiangqiang changed the subject.

  "This is quite good, she probably didn't think of it." Chu Lian pinched the orchid that had been broken off by her earlier, slowly rubbing it in her hand.

  Yu Guifei was probably stimulated by previous events, and her actions in recent days have been a bit too hasty! Si Wei took over the deformed orchid pinched in Chu Lianruo's hand and said calmly.

  "She's indeed too aggressive, but the more she does so, the more mistakes she reveals." Qīng occasionally chimed in with a sentence that always hit the nail on the head. Chǔ Lián slightly furrowed her brow, exactly meaning this.

  At noon, Chu Lian Ruo sat in front of a table full of food, but she had no appetite. "Did the Emperor send any news about the Empress today?" She was already certain that the Empress was not simple, according to what the people from Xi Yang in the evening palace said, this palace outside was being watched by many people.

  Everything was fine before, but as soon as this Shu Fei appeared, her Xiyuan Palace was targeted, and the reason is self-evident.

  You shook your head, this time it seemed to have hit a hard nail, relying on the king's power among the people, but couldn't find any news about Princess Shu.

  Chu Lian's eyes narrowed and she didn't speak, "If that's the case, let's keep a low profile for now."

  "The prince has a plan, and those people only dare to stare from afar, which is not a problem for the prince." What Chu Lian said made Qingqing understand that it's best if the prince doesn't come over recently.

  But this is impossible for Xuyang, and what you said is also correct. Not to mention that the guards in this evening palace are all his people, even if he has no power here, he can still come quietly to see Chulianruo. It's just that it wasn't as carefree as it is now, talking about the weather without fear of being seen by others.

  Chu Lian picked up her chopsticks and tapped them against the bowl in front of her, choosing not to comment on Qingqing's words. Even if that man wanted to come, even if he were the King of Heaven, she wouldn't be able to find out, but still, she couldn't help feeling anxious inside.

  Just as Si Wei was about to remind her that the food would get cold if they didn't eat soon, Chu Lian's gentle voice rang out again, "You go tell Wang Ye not to come looking for me these next two days. If there's something he wants to say, it's fine."

  "Is something on your mind, Master?" Si Wei noticed that Chu Lian's eyebrows had been furrowed all along, and with this distracted look, it was unlikely that she had nothing on her mind.

  Chu Lian just waved her hand and let them go down, but she didn't answer.

  "I've always felt that something was off about Master since he returned from the Empress Dowager's place." Si Wei said as she and Qing Qing went down.

  She glanced in the direction of the main hall, where the dishes on the table had long gone cold, while Chu Lian had not taken a single bite. Perhaps she should tell this to King Ling.

  Also thinking of Chu Lian Ruo's words just now, if she didn't listen to her advice and instead let Xū Yáng enter the palace early, it wouldn't be good either. "Qīng Qīng, what do you think is wrong with our master?" Si Wei was very worried.

  You are deep in thought, and outside the gate of the Evening Color Palace, there is actually someone arguing.

  Si Wei exchanged a glance with her and then looked at Chu Lian Ruo in the house, who seemed to have not heard anything.

  "Go and take a look." If this wasn't stopped in time, the news would soon spread to all the palaces, after all, there were many people watching outside the Xiyang Palace.

  Si Wei and Qing quickly walked a few steps to the outside of the courtyard, Si Wei suddenly shouted, "What are you making such a racket for here?"

  "Are you the red people in front of Xi Fei?" A woman with a jade hairpin and emerald eyebrows saw them, not only didn't soften her attitude, but became even more arrogant.

  The sharpness of this sound made Si Wei and Qingqing frown simultaneously.

  "Which palace are you from, and why are you causing trouble here?" Si Wei was about to retort when Qingqing grasped her wrist, opening her mouth.

  His gaze fell on the soft sedan chair behind the woman, and he could tell that it was a high-ranking official who could use such a luxurious sedan chair in the palace. However, even if Ah Qing had memorized all the people in the palace, big or small, she had never seen anyone with this number before.

  Only those who have been sealed as imperial consorts can ride in a sedan chair. Currently, there are only three imperial consorts in the palace, including Yu Guifei and Shu Fei, who has just recovered from a long illness...

  You didn't think of your identity, and you don't want to let Si Wei offend people for nothing, making enemies for their master. But this woman is too arrogant, "Let your master come out, are the two of you not enough to match my master's status?"

  Her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she was about to scold the maid without caring. The evening palace is now being watched by many people, if they haven't seen the master yet and have already lost momentum, then in the future won't any tomcat or stray dog dare to come and make a scene?
