The prince spared his life! The lady has been reborn to save you

"I came at the right time."

"Shu Fei abused private punishment, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will blame you?"

A few footsteps sounded by her ears, and the shackles on Chu Yizhao loosened. She sat up, turned her head and looked sideways, and the light snow came into her eyes.

Concubine Chen?

Several eunuchs stood on both sides of Chu Yizhao, blocking the maids from Yongshou Palace from moving forward.

"Be bold!"

Seeing this, Zhao Yuzhen shouted angrily, "Yuwen Chiyu, how dare you let me commit murder in my palace!"

The Concubine walked to the center courtyard with lotus steps. The crabapple flowers on her temples were pure and holy. She glanced at Chu Yizhao calmly and said to Zhao Yuzhen,

"The palace has its own rules. If a family member of an official makes a mistake, they should be handed over to the Empress for punishment. You should not overstep your authority to deal with him."

Chuxiu Palace was in great favor, and the whole palace was in decline. Among the high-ranking concubines, Yongchun Palace was the most prosperous. Zhao Yuzhen had long been dissatisfied, and when she heard her say this, she could not help but sneer.

"What does it have to do with you? Chu Yizhao is my niece. She is naughty and willful. I teach her behind closed doors. This is a family matter. Even Your Majesty cannot say anything."

"Besides..." She stroked her armor contemptuously, "You are the one who least abides by the palace rules in this palace. You seduce the king and despise the queen. What qualifications do you have to say such things to me?"

The two were tit for tat.

At the center of the topic, Chu Yizhao touched her waist bag and cuffs calmly. The emperor summoned her suddenly, and she left in a hurry without even having time to change her inner clothes. There was only a bottle of waste medicine that she had casually put in her waist...

Something is better than nothing.

She secretly used her thumb to push open the cork, and a faint scent of medicine drifted between the few people.

If Zhao Shuzhen is a hypocritical raccoon, then Zhao Yuzhen is a vicious jackal. She will not be roundabout, does not consider the consequences of her interests, and is as cruel as a long straight stick.

Chu Yizhao suffered the loss.

The Concubine Chen smiled indifferently, "I will not argue with you. Whether it is a family matter or not, it is up to His Majesty to decide."

She turned to Chu Yizhao and asked, "I saved you today and spared you from physical pain. If you don't know what's good for you and side with your aunt, I won't blame you. Just consider it your bad luck."

"But the gift...must be given."

"I didn't give you the gift last time. I was very angry."

Concubine Chen was younger than most of the other concubines in the palace. She spoke these words in a very calm and light manner, which inexplicably gave her a hint of childish naivety.

Chu Yizhao bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I will remember your kindness in my heart. When I return home, I will definitely present you with a generous gift."

"Tsk." Zhao Yuzhen walked down the steps, stared coldly at Chu Yizhao, and said sarcastically, "I was wondering why your temperament suddenly changed, and why you messed up the mansion and the family. It turns out that you have climbed up the social ladder."

Before Chu Yizhao could reply, Concubine Chen took over the conversation and retorted, "You and I are both concubines. Why does she want to marry me instead of you? You should reflect on yourself."

The palace maids beside him bowed their heads, fearing that they would be implicated. The two of them argued back and forth, and Chu Yizhao was forced in the middle, moving from one torture board to another.

She turned her head to look at the snow. The Concubine Chen was calm and composed, fearless under the favor she received, and could say anything. Zhao Yuzhen was so angry that she jumped up and down, but she could do nothing.

"Yuwen Chiyu! This palace is teaching the younger generation, and it is not your turn to comment. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have been favored by His Majesty for several years. You are just a concubine's daughter..."

Zhao Yuzhen was so excited that she was interrupted by the palace maid beside her, who took her arm and said, "Your Majesty!"

Xiang Hui broke out in a cold sweat. The two palace maids knelt on the ground. Chu Yizhao frowned.

Concubine Chen and Emperor Yuan'an knew each other from the common people. Yuwen Chiyu's background was not glorious. Her mother was a woman raised by old man Yuwen outside. She was neither a wife nor a concubine, and the children born to them were bastards.

There was a law in the Zhou Dynasty that the children of illegitimate wives, males could not take the imperial examinations or become officials, and the children of illegitimate wives, females could not marry or join the clan.

Emperor Yuan An issued a clear order to forbid the Six Palaces from discussing the matter, but...

Chu Yizhao looked at the cold face of the Concubine Chen and the stiff expression of Zhao Yuzhen. Even if the Concubine Chen was favored by the emperor, Zhao Yuzhen was from a famous family after all. It was a bit too much for her to be so timid and fearful of the position of a concubine...

The Concubine Chen stared at Zhao Yuzhen with a half-smile, "You will soon know whether I can do whatever I want."

She waved her wide sleeves, turned around and left with her people. Chu Yizhao followed closely behind her. When they reached the door, they heard Zhao Yuzhen's shouting from behind.

"Chu Yizhao, if you dare to go with her, don't blame me for not recognizing you as my niece."

Chu Yizhao walked faster.

"Rebellion!" Zhao Yuzhen's face was full of gloom, "ungrateful bastard!"

"Yang'er is right, this girl can't be kept..."

Xiang Hui calmed her down and said worriedly, "The Fifth Miss is nothing to be afraid of. You can hit her if you want. At most you will get scolded. But you shouldn't have a conflict with the Empress Chen."

Zhao Yuzhen waved her hand away and said angrily, "Did I have a conflict with that bitch?! She broke into the palace to rob people, and relied on the favor of His Majesty to do whatever she wanted. And I just let her bully me?!"

She was so angry that she slapped the maid next to her, "Useless thing! You can't even open the door properly. Drag her away and beat her to death!"

The little maid quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me! I clearly closed the door. I don't know why the Empress Chen came in. Your Majesty... Wuuwuwu!!"

The palace maid was dragged away with a rag stuffed in her mouth and begging for mercy.

In front of the quiet palace, Zhao Yuzhen sat down on the round chair, "If the Concubine Chen goes to complain this time, I am afraid that I will be held accountable..."

"It's all your fault. If you hadn't said that Chu Yizhao was interfering with Yu'er's marriage and asked me to suppress her arrogance, why would I have invited Concubine Chen?"

Xiang Hui, who was pointed at, rolled her eyes and said, "No, Madam, how could the Fifth Miss be so familiar with the Concubine Chen? The Concubine Chen is usually very arrogant. Have you ever seen her talk to others..."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Yuzhen frowned, "Are you saying that she has other intentions?"

Zhao Yuzhen was disdainful, "The huge Marquis' Mansion is almost broken up by that girl. What a bastard, could it be that bastards can still sympathize with each other?"

Xiang Hui choked, "It shouldn't be..."

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Miss Five has a good prescription that can remove all scars in the world. When the young general of the Ji family returned to the capital a month ago, his face was disfigured and rotten. He searched for a good medicine to heal his face every day, and finally found the Second Prince."

"You said, could it be that Concubine Chen is doing this..."

"After all, Ji Yu holds a soldier in his hand..."

Zhao Yuzhen was suspicious, "Isn't that medicine unusable?"

"Why not?" Xiang Hui reminded her, "Ms. Xue'er's face is not the fault of the medicine, it's her own fault for not paying attention. Besides, isn't Miss Xue'er's skin fair and tender now, and she's as beautiful as a flower?"

"You mean, get the prescription..."

"Hey... Madam." Xiang Hui smiled, her eyes sparkling, "Since we don't know whether the medicine is good or bad, why not let General Ji go and ask for it himself? If it works, we will get credit. If it doesn't, it will be because Miss Fifth is not skilled enough, and it has nothing to do with us..."

...

"Lotus platform?"

Under the high wall, Chu Yizhao and Chen Fei stood opposite each other.

Concubine Chen smiled, "Why, you can't bear to let go?"

Reluctance comes second.

Chu Yizhao was confused, and Concubine Chen said, "I know what you are thinking."

"When I was at Mount Taihua, I happened to see a craftsman making it and I liked it very much. I happened to meet the Marquis of Chu, and he said it was a birthday gift from the Queen Mother. If I like it, he will find a way to send it to me..."

Chu Huai gave a gift to the Concubine Chen? Chu Yizhao was confused for a moment.

Two people who are so far away from each other.

Why would this mad dog give a gift to the Empress Chen...
