"It's not a big deal, we went to see the Empress Dowager this morning, and Yu Guifei just said a couple of taboo words. (Cotton candy)" Chu Lian replied calmly, without revealing any signs.

  "The empress dowager just went to Xi Fei's place in the morning and now she is going again. The empress dowager might..." Wen Fei trailed off, not daring to continue speaking.

  "It won't do, I went to see the Empress Dowager early this morning and the Emperor has already left. If I go again now, the Empress Dowager will think it's strange." Besides, I'll take you with me, in the eyes of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, I'm just a guide, you're the main event! Of course, these words only flashed through Chu Lian's watery peach blossom-like eyes.

  "Your Ladyship, Yu Fei and a woman sealed as Wen Fei are heading towards Shou Kang Palace." Cui Xuan informed Shu Fei of the news brought by the scout who was spying on Yu Yan Palace.

  "Empress Wen? I've never heard of this person?" The gentle Empress Shu stopped her hands from trimming the flowers.

  Cui Xuan said a few words to clarify the contents of the imperial edict, and Consort Shu furrowed her brow, then relaxed it after a moment. "This palace is getting more and more interesting... with a surname like Shangguan..." Consort Shu's smile was full of meaning.

  "What are we going to do, Your Ladyship?" Cuixuan furrowed her brow, seeing that her master was laughing heartily, and couldn't quite grasp the meaning behind it.

  "Today, the Emperor scolded me because of you. If we were to present ourselves in front of the Empress Dowager now, wouldn't that be asking for trouble? And if she were to get angry again, I couldn't bear the responsibility. Anyway, we've already done what we needed to do, and the Emperor won't forget my taste anytime soon, so I won't lose favor."

  The Empress picked up the small scissors and began pruning the chrysanthemum again, "Although this chrysanthemum is not afraid of wind, frost, rain or dew, it will wither when it gets colder."

  "The princess's words are too profound, I haven't understood them yet." Knowing that the Shu Fei had a deeper meaning in her words, Cui Xuan immediately stepped forward.

  "Yu Guifei and Xi Fei are not in a hurry, nor do we need to be. This palace is full of fish and dragons mixed together. According to brother's letter, there is still a hidden force lurking in the dark, but it has not moved yet, which can also be considered as being able to endure. Now that I have re-emerged with renewed vigor, if another Wen Fei appears, I'm afraid the person hiding in the dark will no longer wait."

  "What the young lady said is absolutely right." Cui Xuan silently exited the door.

  "Wait." Shu Fei suddenly stopped Cui Xuan, "Go and let Cui Lian use her methods to tell Yu Guifei that she has said something she shouldn't have and was banned from leaving the palace. Now she's probably too afraid to use her spies again, this matter is probably still unknown to her." This Yu Guifei, although an old opponent, now seems to be just a concubine who only knows how to play petty tricks. The more Xi Fei looked at her, the more she couldn't understand her.

  On this side, Chu Lianruo, who led Wen Fei to Shoukang Palace, did not speak unless Upper Official Wen Ci took the initiative to talk.

  Shangguan Wenzhi was secretly annoyed, this Empress must be either too heavy-hearted or too naive. However, being able to rise from a young girl who never left the house of a small governor in Cen Prefecture to an empress in just a few months, such ability couldn't possibly belong to a naive person, unless Emperor Xian treated her differently. Since she hadn't seen how they interacted with each other, she didn't dare say anything.

  After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the palace of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager and Xiurong had already received the news early on.

  It's just a self-willed imperial concubine who Xi Yun would never go to welcome, even if she had done many things for him.

  "I've seen the Emperor, I've seen the Empress Dowager." Chu Lian pulled out a hand as if looking at Xun Rong who seemed to have forgotten what day it was today, and only then did she react, awkwardly imitating Chu Lian's movements and falling to her knees.

  "Your Majesty, this... uh, this is your imperial decree." Chu Lian took the imperial decree and didn't return it to Shangguan Wan'er, for the sake of this move. She respectfully handed it over to Xi Rong.

  Xu Rong unfolded his sleeves and swept a glance, "It's indeed the lonely and noble Wen Fei, get up, you've worked hard all these years, Xi Fei, it's been hard on you too, bring her over, everyone get up."

  Chu Lian stood up and saw that Xiurong's gaze fell on Shangguan Wencui's face for a long time, while the Empress Dowager's expression was gloomy, but she didn't say anything. It seemed that she had known about this matter all along.

  "I have ordered someone to sweep out the Luli Hall and move Wen Fei in. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks about this?"

  "You will be in charge of the six palaces from now on, and you can make decisions on such matters without needing to ask for my opinion." Xū Róng considered this a delegation of authority. Chu Liàn immediately bowed her head in thanks.

  Shangguan Wenchu walked closer to the Emperor, her eyes already welling up with tears. "Your Majesty, after all these years of not seeing you, you've become even more handsome. I'm afraid, so afraid that you'll forget me."

  "Wen Ci, don't cry, you're back now, I'll take good care of you." Xū Róng seemed to have found her conscience, wiping away the tears from the corner of her eyes, and spoke softly to comfort her.

  Chu Lian sighed in her heart, why was it that every time she was about to get the green gauze out, something unexpected would interrupt her, did this green gauze have such good luck?

  "Xī Fēi, why are you looking so haggard?" The Empress Dowager's words pulled Xī Róng's thoughts back from Wén Cí.

  He turned his head to look at Chu Lian, his face pale, his body as soft as boneless, looking like he would fall with the wind. "Xi Fei, what's wrong?"

  "The master had lunch at noon today... " Si Wei's eyebrows were slightly displeased, and her words carried a hint of dissatisfaction. Xu Rong and the Empress Dowager were both taken aback, as this evening concubine's maid was usually quiet and reserved, but today she spoke with discontent in such a setting. Just as they were about to hear what had happened, Chu Lian interrupted her in a clear and calm voice, "Si Wei".

  The empress dowager disapproved and gave Chu Lian a look, "Looking at your appearance, I know you're telling lies. The emperor is here, how dare you deceive him!"

  Chu Lian's body stiffened as if she had been struck by something, and she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

  "You speak." Xū Róng looked at Sī Wēi.

  After all, Chulian treated him the same whether he was poisoned or not, and even when he was affected by the Butterfly Empress's aura, he never complained a bit, nor did he blame the Empress Dowager for liking her.

  Sometimes, a soft layer would flash through his mind, and at this moment, seeing Si Wei's obvious appearance of being wronged by his own master, he had to have an attitude, not to mention that looking at Chu Lian's weak appearance, he still felt some tenderness in his heart.

  Si Wei glanced at Chu Lian Ruo, who subtly shook her head. The Empress Dowager noticed it clearly, "Xi Fei, please sit down first, don't really get tired, Qin Mama, go bring some snacks over."

  Shangguan Wenciji was secretly anxious, she naturally knew what Simicro wanted to say. Originally, it was her own plan to cry and complain, regardless of whether it could make Xurong punish Xi Fei or not, at least it would make him feel guilty.

  She had waited for him in the Temple of Luminous Jade for more than three years, and this was the first time he had come to the palace. Because of his identity, her maid had been humiliated, which would give Xi Rong a bad impression of Yu Fei.

  In this way, it will only be more pitiful for oneself...

  She thought it was good, but didn't think that the Empress Dowager and Tai Hou would notice Su Rong's injury first, and instead noticed Xi Fei's frailty.

  Moreover, Xi Rong and the Empress Dowager's attitude towards Chu Lian seemed to have exceeded the intelligence provided by her secret agent, or perhaps it was because of her low status, as many things were unknown.

  She lowered her gaze and spoke before Si Wei could open his mouth, "It's because of my reason that I interrupted Xi Fei's meal time." Shang Guan Wen Ci silently observed Xu Rong's expression, the Empress Dowager was indeed a person who cultivated herself, she wouldn't interfere too much in Xu Rong's affairs. But seeing Xu Rong's face without any ripples, this person was even more puzzling than three years ago.

  "Yu Fei, you tell me." The Empress Dowager clearly did not intend to listen to Shangguan Wenji's words.

  Shangguan Wenchu pursed her lips.

  "Wenfei suddenly arrived, and I was caught off guard, so I only took a sip." Chulian said briefly.

  "Is that so? I saw the maid behind Empress Wen's back had a swollen face, what happened to her?" The empress dowager originally saw it early in the morning but didn't mention it.

  At this time, Xun Rong only noticed the deep palm print on Su Rong's face who had been quietly standing behind Wang Wen Cai. "Wang Fei just returned to the palace and was wronged somewhere, tell me about it, I'll take care of it for you. As a personal maid of a concubine, what kind of thing is this?"

  "It was I who moved, Your Majesty." Chu Lianruo stood up from her chair and walked to the center of the room, kneeling down. Si Wei furrowed his brow at the same time, casting a displeased glance at Su Rong, whose eyebrows were already showing a hint of provocation, before also kneeling down.

  "Yu Fei you..." Xū Róng saw Yu Fei directly admit it and raised an eyebrow.

  All of Siwei's expressions fell into the Empress Dowager's eyes, and she saw that Chulian was kneeling on the cold floor. The Empress Dowager was not having it. "Your Majesty, this weather is getting colder by the day. If Concubine Yu gets sick, you'll be heartbroken."

  These words sound like joking, but in fact they are helping Chu Lianruo escape punishment. Chu Lianruo didn't expect to be reborn and unexpectedly caught the eye of this deep palace empress dowager, which is an unexpected joy?

  What would it be like if you lost the throne because of your own mother? As she thought about it, a bold idea suddenly sprouted in her mind, but was immediately erased by herself, after all, it wasn't very realistic.

  "Yuhui, you get up first and tell me what's going on?" Chu Lianruo refused to get up, she only said, "Your Majesty promised me not to punish the people in my palace because of this. After all, they were following my orders."

  "Hmm." Xū Róng smiled lightly and helped Chǔ Lián Ruò up, "You, when did I ever say I'd punish you? I still don't understand your temperament." Xū Róng said intimately, Chǔ Lián Ruò bit her lip, "Your Majesty won't blame anyone, will you?"

  "You're getting more and more outrageous!" Xū Róng said with a good mood, glancing at Sī Wēi on the ground.

  Chu Lian smiled coldly in her heart, if it was because of a sudden return to the palace and not yet favored woman that made you suspicious of my disguise, then it would be a loss. Speaking like this is just to make your heart less suspicious.

  Give an inch, take an ell, your ell, I don't even bother!
