The concubine is extremely cautious

Helian Qi went to Lingxue Pavilion.

While Wang Degui sent someone to invite the imperial physician, he also ordered his men to drag Shi'er away and beat her with a stick.

"Empress Song was injured before and has never recovered. She may have fallen into a coma due to weakness. She needs more nourishment. I will prescribe a tonic for Empress Song..." said the imperial physician after taking her pulse.

Xiao Dingzi was the little apprentice sent by Wang Degui to invite the imperial physician.

At this time, Wang Degui was serving the emperor, so it was impossible for him to be here.

"Thank you, Imperial Physician." Xiao Dingzi nodded and said sarcastically:

"I thought it was a serious illness, but it's just weakness, so it's okay. Could it be that Concubine Song fainted on purpose to attract the attention of His Majesty?"

Song Qingzhi, lying on the bed, felt very guilty.

"Eunuch, my master is really sick..." Xiao Dongzi hurriedly denied.

Xiao Dingzi snorted coldly, "It's up to you. Regardless of whether Concubine Song is really ill or not, His Majesty won't even look at her. His Majesty only has Concubine Ning in his heart. Concubine Song couldn't compete with Concubine Ning before, so she doesn't think she can snatch the favor now, does she?"

"That's really funny. You should have some self-awareness. It's really bad luck that you made my family make an extra trip."

Song Qingzhi's face turned pale.

The harem is a place where the powerful are praised and the weak are trampled upon. It's just that she was praised before, and the palace maids looked down on their masters... It never happened to her.

"Eunuch Ding, Eunuch Wang is calling you--" a little eunuch came to report outside the door.

Xiao Dingzi's expression instantly became extremely flattering. "But does Concubine Ning have any instructions? Let's go over there now. It's all right here, let's go, go, go--"

The two eunuchs and the imperial physician left one after another.

Song Qingzhi, who had pretended to be unconscious, suddenly opened her eyes, full of resentment:

"It's too much to bully others..."

These eunuchs looked down on him, mocked him and slandered him, but they fawned over Ning Wanyin...

hateful.

The more someone cares about face, the more it hurts her to be looked down upon.

"Master, don't take these words to heart... That's how it is in the palace. As long as you are favored in the future, they will naturally not dare to offend you..." Xiao Dongzi comforted.

Song Qingzhi shed tears sadly, "Look at me now... can I still be favored?"

Xiao Dongzi was speechless for a moment.

"Your Majesty, you are really too heartless..." Song Qingzhi was very sad and cried heartbrokenly.

Xiao Dongzi advised, "Master, it's all because of that vixen Ning Wanyin. She has seduced Your Majesty. If it weren't for her, Your Majesty would definitely see the good in you..."

"Yes, it would be nice without her..." Song Qingzhi murmured.

An idea flashed in my mind...

Thinking of what Concubine Shu said, she suddenly had an idea.

"Xiao Dongzi, go and get my boxes. I want to pick out some valuable things to give to Concubine Ning." Song Qingzhi said.

Xiao Dongzi accepted the order and said, "Yes."

"Where did you throw the letter my brother wrote to me?" Song Qingzhi asked again.

Xiao Dongzi said quickly, "The master was angry at that time and said he wanted to throw it away. But I thought, after all, this is a letter written by your brother to you, and you might want to take it out and read it when you miss home. So I didn't dare to throw it away and kept it in the box."

"You did a good job!" A smile appeared on Song Qingzhi's face.

homesick?

Her father felt that she was a disgrace to the family.

Her brother scolded her for a page.

They all despised her, she had no home at all!

Soon, Xiao Dongzi brought the box over.

Song Qingzhi picked out a few precious items and put a top-quality inkstone in there.

Her gaze lingered on the inkstone for a long time, and she finally hardened her heart.

It was her brother who disliked her first! Her brother actually protected Ning Wanyin and scolded her. If that was the case, then Song Chengyi was no longer her brother.

If it weren’t for Ning Wanyin, she wouldn’t have had a miscarriage.

Her life was originally so bright, but it was all Ning Wanyin's fault, she ruined everything for her.

Now that she has fallen into a situation where even a eunuch looks down on her, Ning Wanyin is still high and mighty and surrounded by all the glory.

Why?

Even if she dies, she will drag Ning Wanyin to be buried with her!

"Pack these things. Tomorrow, I will go to Concubine Ning to apologize." Song Qingzhi said quietly.

……

Early next morning.

The emperor went to the morning court, and Ning Wanyin washed up and had breakfast.

"Master, Concubine Song has come to apologize with gifts." Xiao Guizi reported.

Ning Wanyin raised her eyebrows. Oh? She actually apologized?

This is really becoming more and more unexpected.

"welcome--"

Song Qingzhi presented a sandalwood box to Ning Wanyin and said apologetically:

"Last time I fell from the altar, I was confused and pushed the blame onto Concubine Ning. Thinking about it now, I feel very regretful. I am offering a small gift to express my apology."

Ning Wanyin's eyes fell on her face. "Your Majesty has done justice for me, cleared my name, and punished you. I will not bother with you about this matter anymore. There is no need to give you gifts to apologize, because I can never forgive you."

Song Qingzhi's face was stiff. "But...but it was my fault after all. I should apologize for it! I'll take my leave..."

Song Qingzhi felt as if sitting on pins and needles. After saying this, he fled in a hurry.

Ning Wanyin looked at her leaving back with deep eyes.

Lian Rui pondered for a while and said:

"Master, I don't think Consort Song came to apologize to you sincerely. It seems like she was just putting on an act! Is it because Your Majesty ignored her last night that she came to apologize to you on purpose to let Your Majesty know that she has realized her mistake?"

Ning Wanyin said calmly, "It's possible. But it's also possible that she wants to do something else."

"Master, are you saying...?"

"She is so self-righteous that it is not like her to bow her head and apologize to me. There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary..."

Ning Wanyin said, her eyes fell on the sandalwood box:

"Lian Rui, take it with you and go to Qianxin Palace to pay respect to His Majesty."

"Yes."

……

In Qianxin Palace.

Ning Wanyin told him about Song Qingzhi's apology today and said:

"I thought that Concubine Song came to apologize to me in order to let Your Majesty know her attitude... So, I came here to report to Your Majesty..."

Helian Qi said calmly, "It's good that she knows she's wrong."

"But I will never forgive her..." Ning Wanyin raised her eyes to the man on the dragon throne and presented the sandalwood box in Lian Rui's hand to Helian Qi:

"This is the apology she sent. They are all valuables. I do not want to accept them. Your Majesty, please deal with them as you wish!"

Helian Qi, who was reviewing the memorials, paused and looked at Ning Wanyin:

"Since you don't want to keep it, why don't you throw it out and give it to me?"

"She didn't originally give this apology to me. Does she care about my attitude? She is just begging for your forgiveness. Therefore, it is most appropriate for you to deal with this thing." Ning Wanyin curled her thin lips in a mocking tone and spoke with sarcasm.

Helian Qi was silent for a moment. Ning Wanyin had never spoken to him like this before.

But he could understand it. No one who was nearly wrongly accused to death would smile and get along with the other sister, unless they had some ulterior motive.

The more Ning Wanyin showed her dissatisfaction with Song Qingzhi, the more Helian Qi felt that she would not retaliate against Song Qingzhi in private.

If I could do something, I wouldn't feel so resentful.

Since she was so sensible, he felt even more sympathetic towards her grievances.

Ning Wanyin's eyes slightly reddened after she said this harsh sentence, "She is the daughter of your important minister. If I throw away the gift she gave me, wouldn't it be a joke for outsiders to see the internal fighting. My grievance is a small matter, but the face of the harem harmony is more important, so I should give her some face."

After saying this, Ning Wanyin held back the tears in her eyes and bowed, "Today, I have behaved inappropriately. I will return to the palace to reflect on myself. I am leaving now!"
