Qin Nuo kowtowed again, "Thank you for your teachings, Madam. I will keep them in mind."

"After you finish copying the scriptures, leave. I am tired and need to rest. Songzhi, find someone to watch Qin Changzai kneel down and copy every word. You can leave only after he finishes copying. Do you understand?"

Songzhi bowed, "Yes."

Hearing Nian Shilan say that he could only leave after he finished copying on his knees, Qin Nuo couldn't help but shudder.

She thought Nian Shilan would let her go directly, or keep her in the palace for a while before releasing her.

But I didn't expect that I would have to finish copying it.

Concubine Hua is indeed as cruel as the rumors say.

Even if they are from our own camp, we will not show mercy.

Qin Nuo finished copying one stroke at a time. When he stood up, although he was helped up by two palace maids, he still fell to the ground and could hardly stand up.

"My lady, you have been kneeling for so long that your knees must be rotten. I will go back and ask the imperial physician to take a look." Shunxi, who was beside her, felt very distressed.

Qin Nuo didn't say anything and let Shunxi support him as he walked out of Yikun Palace.

She walked with difficulty, and if she hadn't been supported by several palace maids, she would probably have fallen on the road in a miserable state.

As soon as I returned to Zhongcui Palace, I saw Xiao Xiazi coming to deliver a message.

"My lady, the emperor is turning over your name card today and will be coming to Zhongcui Palace soon. Please prepare yourself well."

Qin Nuo was stunned and looked at the injury on his leg.

Shun said happily, "That's good now. The emperor is here. Today, my lady can file a complaint against Concubine Hua and let the emperor decide for her."

Qin Nuo was very upset, but he just agreed and Xiao Xiazi left.

"Okay, help me change my clothes to meet the emperor."

"Yes."

When Yinzhen came in, Qin Nuo was already kneeling on the ground, waiting to receive him at any time.

Seeing her kneeling on the ground, Yinzhen took her up and said, "I heard that you have been kneeling in Yikun Palace for the whole afternoon today. You don't have to kneel anymore."

Qin Nuo stood up slowly, but his body was unstable and he fell into Yinzhen's arms.

"What's wrong?" Yinzhen asked, but there was no concern in his tone.

Qin Nuo frowned and stood up with difficulty, "I am not feeling well. I am sorry to have caused the emperor to worry."

Yinzhen asked her to sit down and looked carefully at the expression on her face.

Then he asked, "Has the imperial physician come to see you?"

Shunxi said anxiously, "The imperial physician has come to see you. You have been kneeling for too long. You had a leg disease before, and now it has relapsed. You are in great pain. If the emperor doesn't believe me, just lift up your trouser legs and you will see bruises on your legs."

"Shunxi, stop talking." Qin Nuo called Shunxi and signaled her to stop talking.

I looked up at Yinzhen again and saw a hint of worry on his face, which warmed my heart.

"Your Majesty, I am not in the way. It is my own incompetence that has caused this. Your Majesty, please do not blame Concubine Hua."

Although he said this, Qin Nuo actually had some expectations in his heart.

She knew she shouldn't have such thoughts.

She also understood that she shouldn't develop any other feelings for the emperor.

But these days in the harem, the feelings the emperor had for her were something she had never experienced from any other man in this world.

No one has ever treated her so gently and cared about her.

How she had wished that she was not the Qin Nuo who was rescued by Prince Dun. Even if she was just like Ru'an promised, with a legitimate family background in a small family, she could stay by the emperor's side with good reason.

It's good enough as long as the two of them have a harmonious relationship and live in harmony.

"This is the fault of Concubine Hua. She has always been like this. I will definitely give her a good scolding someday." Yinzhen held her hand and said calmly, word by word. "I'm sorry to wrong you. Don't conflict with her in the future. She has always disliked you."

Qin Nuo slowly leaned into his arms, feeling the warmth.

At this moment, this belongs only to her arms.

"I know that Concubine Hua doesn't like me, but as long as the emperor likes me, I will be satisfied."

……

"Today, Concubine Hua punished Concubine Qin, and the emperor turned over Concubine Qin's card again tonight. I'm afraid that Concubine Hua is already furious in the palace."

Shen Meizhuang was sitting in the Sui Yuxuan, playing chess with Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan looked at the chessboard, her pretty face wrinkled with worry. Suddenly she thought of something and started to make her move.

Then he smiled and said, "Let them go, but I think this Qin Changzai is really a bit strange."

Shen Meizhuang held the black chess piece in her hand and asked, "Oh? What do you think is strange?"

"Not only has Qin Nuo always been cautious, but I haven't heard of any major incidents in her palace recently. How could she offend Concubine Hua for no reason? Besides, don't you think that Qin Nuo's personality and thoughts are really incompatible with a palace maid like hers?"

After Zhen Huan finished speaking, she continued to move a white piece.

Shen Meizhuang followed her and fell into deep thought following her words.

"No one is perfect. Maybe Concubine Hua deliberately made trouble today. As for her, maybe her family fell into poverty and she came to the palace to serve."

Although she said this, she was also thinking.

Shen Meizhuang looked at her face and thought about what An Lingrong said to her this afternoon.

There are also doubts in my heart.

She swallowed her saliva and asked boldly, "Sister An came to my palace to talk to me a few days ago. She said that it was you who asked the emperor to help Hua Fei regain her title?"

Zhen Huan put down the chess piece, feeling a little surprised, but also a little guilty.

"Sister, yes, I asked the emperor for help."

When Shen Meizhuang heard her admit it, her face turned pale. "It really is you. When Lingrong said this, I didn't want to believe it. But how could it really be you?"

She put down what she was holding and looked at her close friend in front of her with disbelief and some sadness.

Zhen Huan also hurriedly stood up and sat next to her.

"Sister, I didn't tell you because I had reasons that I couldn't say right away, but I didn't really want to hide it."

She tried to hold sister Mei's hand, but sister Mei dodged her.

"You have forgotten what Nian Shilan did to you, your child, and the fact that I was falsely accused of a false pregnancy. How can you plead for her?" Shen Meizhuang said this, and her heart recalled the grievances and pain she had suffered back then.

She didn't dare to look at Huan'er, for fear that she was really like what she thought in her heart.

"Sister, how could I forget? I have remembered every single thing that happened. Besides, why don't you think about why I asked for mercy and just keep blaming me?"

Zhen Huan pulled her and said anxiously.

"I just heard you say that it was Sister An who told you about this? Sister Mei, don't you really think that Sister An has become different from before? Rather than saying that our biggest enemy now is Concubine Hua, I think I'm more afraid that we are wrong."

When Shen Meizhuang heard Zhen Huan say this, she suddenly woke up.

She was not a person who did not distinguish right from wrong. An Lingrong had come to her in such a long way with false intentions and hard-to-get tactics, so she was not without suspicion.

Then he slowly looked at Zhen Huan and saw that her face was full of tears.

"Huan'er, I..."
