Without waiting for her to act, Chu Lian stepped forward and stood in front of them, her face not looking good. "What's going on? Is there another concubine today who wants to enter my Evening Fragrance Palace?" Her voice was soft and gentle, but the look in her eyes made the woman with the jade hairpin take a step back in fright.

  She didn't know how to describe it either, this kind of woman looked delicate and weak, but her eyes were not sharp or gloomy, yet they made her heart feel a chill.

  "Are you not speaking? Our Xiyuan Palace should have been properly closed today, don't let anyone crowd in front of it. If the Emperor finds out, he'll think that I'm colluding with someone." Chu Lian's mood was extremely bad today, and every word she spoke had a sting to it, but her soft and gentle voice made it sound contradictory, and at the same time, she felt even more frightened in her heart.

  It's strange to say, the people in the sedan chair didn't make a sound whether Chu Lian came out or not. Moreover, their sedan chairs were usually able to see faces clearly, but this one was covered with a layer of thin gauze, and the figure inside was vague and unclear. The one who spoke was still her arrogant and domineering maid, "How dare you?"

  "You try, see if I dare not, you, give me a slap on her mouth." Chu Lian Ruo although appeared weak, but the necessary tricks she also can use, these two days Xiurong will not notice this side, besides even if she knew what, she can't be bullied by others.

  As soon as Chu Lian finished speaking, Qing walked up to the maid and slapped her. However, the maid dodged to one side, which would have allowed Si Wei to avoid it if she had said something. But facing Qing's martial arts skills, the maid only moved her other wrist, causing the maid's knees to go weak, and with a "thud" sound, she knelt down on the ground. Immediately after that, Qing's slap landed squarely on her.

  You coldly stared at that maid, "You dare to be impudent to your master, you should feel fortunate that he only slapped your mouth." As she spoke, another slap was given.

  Chu Lian didn't even glance at the person in the sedan chair, and as she turned around, she said, "If you're tired, then just forget it." She wasn't willing to take advantage of her own people, after all, the hand that strikes also gets tired.

  A faint smile, your usual expressionless face surprisingly revealed a hint of a smile.

  Chu Lian turned around and walked slowly towards the house, her footsteps were actually very slow, but she usually walked like this every day, so it didn't feel out of place.

  She raised the corner of her mouth with her back to the crowd, she didn't believe that the person in the sedan chair was so patient. In this palace, even if it was a maidservant who was arrogant and overbearing, she wouldn't dare to come forward to greet such a favored concubine as herself. This maidservant deliberately shouted loudly and disrespectfully at her own mistress, unless there was some other purpose or someone else's instruction behind this, she would never believe it.

  "What's going on?" The voice was like the sound of pearls hitting a jade plate, and also like the sound of clear water splashing on stone. Those who heard it felt a sudden jolt, and at the same time, a slender white hand emerged from the sedan chair, brushing aside the light purple gauze that covered it, revealing a sleeve with golden lotus patterns that caught everyone's eye.

  Chu Lian seemed to have a hint of playfulness in her eyes, but she still didn't turn around.

  "Yù Fēi, why are you in charge of the servant girl's mouth?" Indeed, she didn't rush herself, but someone else did. As soon as she opened her mouth, she directly called out to her.

  Chu Lian slowly turned around, looking at the woman who was just getting out of the sedan chair. This person exuded a bewitching aura all over her body, which was even more charming than Shu Fei by three points. But when did such a concubine appear in the palace? And yet, she didn't see Xi Rong showing any favor towards her at all?

  Without leaving any trace, Qing looked back, but saw that Qing had already stopped and shook his head at himself. That is to say, this person didn't even know Qing.

  In fact, let alone being affectionate, even when she was the Empress of Qin in her past life, she had never seen such a person.

  So, out of curiosity, she couldn't back down, as it was unclear whether the other party was a friend or foe, and her attitude had to be clear-cut. Without being overly polite or fearful, "Princess? Who are you?" She paused for a moment before continuing, "As for your maid, who dares to be presumptuous and arrogant, don't you know?"

  "The princess just fell asleep." She cleared up her relationship with just one sentence, "Su Rong, since you are disrespectful to Xi Fei, this slap is also what you deserve."

  "Moreover, regardless of whether this maid is being impudent or not, shouldn't you tell me who you are and what brings you to the Evening Fragrance Palace? I haven't heard that there's someone like you in this palace." Even Qingqing didn't know, doesn't that mean Xuyang also didn't know?

  The self-proclaimed princess-like woman with a shallow smile, charming and natural, Chu Lian narrowed her eyes slightly. If she had seen someone like this before, she would definitely have an impression, but... in either past life or present life, there was none at all...

  The Empress had yet to figure out whose side this person was on, and just then another one appeared, it turned out that the water in this imperial palace was much deeper than she thought.

  Xu Yang probably didn't expect it either, Shi Yu Yin is now insufficient as evidence. This woman and the Empress seem to be the biggest variable in their plan, but also possibly a helping force, depending on how they use her.

  Not even knowing his identity, there is still much to be observed carefully.

  "The Empress didn't know, after all she had been sent to the Luliu Temple for many years, and was sent away when the Emperor was still the King of Yue. She was given an empty title, but only returned this morning." The woman furrowed her brow and closed her eyes, with a hint of tears in her expression.

  Chu Lian couldn't help but sneer in her heart. It was actually during the time when Xū Róng was still the King of Yuè that she had been deceived by him, and he had fooled her so thoroughly.

  You know nothing, and paid a true heart with the flowing water. In the end, it was washed away by the flowing water, scattered all over the place... Qin Zhao Xi, you are indeed very foolish...

  "So you returned this morning without any imperial edict or decree, can this still be considered a legitimate position as the empress?"

  "There must be an imperial edict, otherwise I wouldn't dare to call myself the queen even if I had a thousand times more courage!" The demonic woman raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly, completely different from her previous pitiful appearance. "I came to find you, Evening Queen, because I know that the harem is currently being managed by you and Jade Noble Consort together. But since Jade Noble Consort has offended Her Majesty the Empress Dowager and been confined, I had no choice but to come find you."

  If Chu Lian understood her meaning, since there was no empress in the palace at present, she had brought the imperial edict back with her and could only find the person in charge of the harem, along with Shi Yu Yin, to announce her identity.

  But is this person really just back in the palace? As soon as he came back, he got the news that Shi Yu Yin was punished by the empress dowager and put under house arrest. Not simple at all! And with this one move, he's planning to give himself a boost of confidence? He's indeed calculated it well!

  "In that case, it's better to make things clear. Otherwise, you, the maid, are called Su Rong, right? You wouldn't have been punished by me." Chu Lian gazed at Su Rong with a smile that was not quite a smile, and the maid who remained kneeling on the ground shrank back slightly.

  You were originally a martial artist, so your strength is naturally greater than others. After just over ten blows, her face was already swollen and high. It seems that later this abandoned concubine will be taken to the Shoukang Palace by someone, but will Xurong believe in her self-inflicted suffering? Moreover, with the Empress Dowager's support, Chulian is not worried at all.

  "What about the imperial edict?" Chu Lian stepped down from the stairs and walked closer to the woman. As she saw her take out the imperial edict from her wide sleeves, she naturally took it and unfolded it.

  The woman was taken aback by this move, and it seemed that Qiu Fei had indeed turned the tables on her.

  However, with the imperial edict in her hands, they had no choice but to kneel down.

  Chu Lian raised an eyebrow and smiled, there were some things she wouldn't do, not because she couldn't, but because she didn't want to. Now this concubine dared to make things difficult for her on the first day, why should she tolerate it? Moreover, in this scene, others couldn't find any fault, this Xiyuan Palace was all filled with people from Xuyang, even if this person went to find Xuyong Shu to complain, it would be just one-sided words.

  "By the grace of heaven, I hereby decree that Shangguan Wan'er, daughter of the Shangguan family, who has prayed for my well-being at the Temple of Luminous Jade for many years, shall be rewarded for her hard work. Now that I have ascended to the throne, I will not disappoint her heart and specially confer upon her the title of Wenfei. After three years, when the prayer period is complete, on September 23rd, she can bring the imperial edict back to the palace and spend the rest of her life with me..." As for herself, Shangguan Wan'er knew that it was possible that he might have forgotten about this person outside...

  It's just... Liuli Temple, this place, at first glance, can't sense anything? After repeated savoring, I feel that this place name is so familiar, as if it has been heard in memory.

  Chu Lian's mind was preoccupied with too many things, and for a moment, she couldn't find the thread, so she simply stopped thinking. Xi Rong, you're really good at this! This person named Shangguan Wencui is actually the daughter of the Shangguan clan, a martial arts family. Three years, this woman was willing to wait, and you were ruthless enough to let her wait.

  "As it is Wen Fei, I shouldn't be neglecting her after all. After all, she has been praying for the Emperor's fortune for so many years. There happens to be a Crystal Palace in this palace, why don't Wen Fei go there and stay first? We'll discuss other arrangements later after reporting to the Emperor." Chulian was very familiar with every nook and cranny of this palace, and naturally had an impression of the Crystal Palace.

  "This crystal palace is indeed to the liking of the empress, but I'm afraid this palace hasn't been cleaned in a while. Why don't you rest here for a bit and let someone tidy it up first?" Shangguan Wencheng asked tentatively, though she was certain that Chulian would not refuse.

  Chu Lian was taken aback for a moment, shouldn't she go to the Empress Dowager's palace to see the Emperor and cry out her grievances?

  She smiled slightly and nodded, knowing that everything outside was being watched by others. She couldn't do anything openly or honestly, but once inside her palace, if there were any more slips, it would be hard to explain.

  "Wen Fei, this is a good idea, but I was just about to go visit the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor is also there. It's not possible for me to return without seeing the Emperor!" She skillfully turned the conversation around.

  The breeze blew by, and Wen Fei's hair fluttered lightly. A hint of ripples appeared in the depths of her eyes, shining brightly. "I'm a bit nervous, but it's good to have you here with me, Ye Fei."

  So they walked together in pairs. Chu Lian would not have gone to the empress dowager's palace if she had not been summoned, and it was better for her to go with a sincere heart.

  "It's getting late, I should know how Yu Guifei offended the Empress Dowager. Let me be more careful." Seeing Chu Lian without a hint of curiosity, Wen Fei's eyes sparkled as she continued to chat on her own.
