Zhen Huan was full of suspicion: "So sister went to the Thousand Carp Pond alone without anyone to accompany her?"

Caiyue glanced behind her and replied, "My Lady Wanpin, when I left, Xiao Shi was still with you."

Zhen Huan looked behind Cai Yue and saw the eunuch Xiao Shi trembling all over. He replied tremblingly: "My lady Wanpin, I went to get fish food. Halfway through, I heard someone shouting that my lady had fallen into the water."

Zhen Huan was furious: "Is this how you two serve Sister Huipin?"

As soon as Zhen Huan finished speaking, she heard the palace maids inside and outside the inner chambers announcing that Concubine Hua had arrived.

Hua Fei came in and greeted Xuan Ling with a smile on her face. Xuan Ling quickly helped Hua Fei up and said, "It's late at night, why are you still here?"

Feng Ruozhao and Zhen Huan both bowed to Hua Fei, who raised her head and called out.

Hua Fei put on a sad face and said to Xuan Ling, "I heard that Huipin fell into the water and I was very worried. How is Huipin?"

Xuan Ling asked Hua Fei to come forward and take a look. Hua Fei walked to the bed and glanced at Shen Meizhuang. Then, with red eyes and tears in her eyes, she said, "How could this happen?"

Then, Concubine Hua walked towards the palace servants kneeling on the ground and said, "Is this how you serve your young mistress? You almost caused a disaster and made the emperor worry late at night. You really deserve to die."

Xuan Ling glanced at the palace servants and said, "They are all useless servants."

Concubine Hua nodded and said hurriedly: "This useless servant should be sent to the 'torture room' as soon as possible."

In the novel and in the previous life, Feng Ruozhao was the one who interrogated the palace maids, and Zhen Huan pleaded to protect them. But this time, Feng Ruozhao acted as a transparent person.

Without Feng Ruozhao stepping forward to question the palace maids and being the bad guy, Zhen Huan would have no chance to be the good guy. She was very dissatisfied with Caiyue and Xiaoshi during the previous questioning, fearing that the two of them would be eye drops if they served Meizhuang again. After hearing what Hua Fei said, she did not stop it.

Xuan Ling did not object, and Feng Ruozhao did not say a word, treating himself as a background board.

When Concubine Hua saw that no one spoke, she ordered, "Come here, drag these palace people away."

For a moment, there were cries for mercy one after another, but the voices were soon blocked.

After Hua Fei dealt with the people around Shen Meizhuang, she smiled again and turned to Xuan Ling and said, "I brought the best mountain ginseng to help Hui Fei calm down and recuperate."

Xuan Ling was very satisfied, his expression softened a lot and he said, "Shilan, the palace affairs require your attention and disturb your peace of mind late at night. Go back and rest early."

Hua Fei smiled shyly and said, "Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of affairs all day long, so he needs to settle down early. When I came out, I asked the palace maid to stew chicken soup. Your Majesty, why don't you go back with me to have the soup and then rest."

Xuan Ling was even more satisfied, with a smile on his face, and said: "You are the most attentive. Now that you mention it, I am a little hungry too."

After that, Xuan Ling said to Zhen Huan, "Princess Wan, you should come with us. The food in Mixiu Palace is delicious."

Zhen Huan replied after a few breaths: "I am afraid I am not lucky enough to enjoy the food. The Emperor even used my portion to ease his longing for you."

Hua Fei smiled and said, "Sister Wanpin, you don't even blush when you talk like this. It's all because of the emperor's indulgence."

Zhen Huan flirted with Xuan Ling for a while before Xuan Ling took Concubine Hua away.

When Concubine Hua left, someone finally remembered Feng Ruozhao.

Hua Fei said, "Princess Hui, I'll trouble Shu Yi and Wan Pin."

Feng Ruozhao knelt down to bid farewell to the Emperor and Concubine Hua, then turned his head and looked sleepy.

When Zhen Huan saw this, she advised Feng Ruozhao to go back and rest, and Feng Ruozhao went with the flow and left.

On the way back, Feng Ruozhao thought to himself: This Emperor Xuan Ling is not only more handsome, younger and taller than the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, but he is also much kinder.

In her previous life, when Shen Meizhuang fell into the water, the emperor took his anger out on Feng Ruozhao, blaming him for not taking good care of her as the head of the palace.

Shen Meizhuang didn't fall into the water of Xianfu Palace, and Feng Ruozhao didn't ask Shen Meizhuang to stay up late at night to feed the fish in the palace.

What's more, since entering the palace, Shen Meizhuang has never paid a visit to Feng Ruozhao, the head of the palace, but instead goes to Sui Yuxuan to find Zhen Huan every day.
