When she returned to the palace, everything was normal and no one had ever come to her Jingren Palace.

Yinzhen didn't know that she had ever left the palace.

However, Yinzhen came in the evening and said, "I haven't been to your place for several days."

"The Emperor has not come to my place for more than a few days. The Emperor has not come to the harem for many days."

Yinzhen heard Yixiu's scolding tone and asked, "Why don't you call me Silang anymore?"

Yixiu said coquettishly, "When Your Majesty goes to other people's places, he is the Emperor. Only when you come to me, you are Si Lang."

Yinzhen felt better after hearing this: "You are the mother of a country, yet you are still jealous and petty here."

Yixiu said: "I am the mother of a country only when I am away from home. To Silang, I am still Silang's little Yi."

Yinzhen smiled brightly.

What she said was a little against her will, but it didn't matter, as long as she achieved her goal.

"I have been really busy these past few days."

Yinzhen said: "There has been no progress at all in the imperial examination fraud case."

Yixiu frowned, "Fourteenth brother is too ignorant. The imperial examination is the foundation of a country. How could he tamper with the imperial examination?"

Yinzhen asked: "Does the Queen mean that she believes that this matter was indeed the work of the Fourteenth Prince?"

Yixiu looked at Yinzhen's slightly raised brows and said, "I didn't believe it at first. After all, Prince Xun grew up under my watch. In my heart, he is no different from my brother, so I naturally believe in his character."

"It's just that... with so many students submitting letters, how could it be false? These students have also studied very hard, and their character as scholars is also precious."

Yinzhen said, "Xiaoyi, this is not like your style. I thought you would suspect someone was interfering."

Yixiu said casually: "But what does the person who is behind this want?"

"Now Prince Xun is the emperor's brother. If they attack Prince Xun, won't the emperor dislike them?"

Yixiu met Yinzhen's gaze directly, "Unless, they just can't stand the close relationship between the emperor and Prince Xun."

Yinzhen understood the hidden meaning of Yixiu's words.

Who would be most happy to see him and Old Fourteen drifting apart?

A name popped up in Yinzhen's mind.

"Yunreng!"

Yinzhen looked up at Yixiu.

"Yunreng has now been deposed."

Yi Xiu said, "Now the Emperor said that he wants to build a palace for his retirement and live with his second brother. Maybe his second brother has that idea again."

Yixiu knew that Yinzhen was not worried about anyone, but was most afraid of Yunreng.

The retired emperor changed his mind about Yunreng several times, but he could not let go of him.

Perhaps Yinzhen felt that everything was under his control before, so he was indifferent when someone attacked Yunzhi. But if that person was Yunreng, everything would be different. He would definitely not let Yunreng regain power.

At this moment, the maidservant beside Xiu Yue came over hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Rui said that she has a terrible headache and wants to ask Your Majesty to come and see her."

Yinzhen said, "If you have a headache, go and ask the imperial physician. I am not an imperial physician, so why would you ask me to do that?"

Xiu Yue's maid was speechless.

Yi Xiu said, "Your Majesty, you should go. After all, Concubine Rui was given to you by your father. If you treat her badly, it will be bad."

Yinzhen became even more suspicious.

Xiu Yue is a noble lady, so even the queen has to avoid the limelight?

He couldn't sit still anymore and left Yixiu in a hurry.

Looking at the direction where Yinzhen left, Yixiu sneered in her heart. Suspicion is a double-edged sword. Yinzhen can suspect that she, Yixiu, is abusing her power, but she can also use Yinzhen's suspicion to attack other people.

-----------------

The next morning, when the concubines came to pay their respects to Yixiu, Xiu Yue arrived late.

Tong Jia Wanqing said: "Sister Rui is really the one that the emperor holds in his heart. The emperor has been so busy lately that he has not come to the harem. He finally went to the queen once, but was called away by Sister Rui."

If it were Yixiu from her previous life, she would probably be furious right now, but it doesn’t matter in this life.

Yixiu will no longer hold a grudge against these favored women.

Yi Xiu said, "Rui Guiren was not feeling well yesterday, so it is only right for the emperor to go and see her."

Tong Jia Wanqing smiled again: "The Queen is still too kind. I see that Sister Rui looks very well and doesn't look unwell at all."

"I guess Sister Rui is only feeling unwell in front of the Emperor."

Although Tong Jia Wanqing's position was not as high as Xiu Yue's, people in the harem really didn't dare to mess with her. After all, behind her was Longkodo, who was the hero who helped the emperor ascend the throne.

Xiu Yue said: "It was not good at first, but it got much better after the emperor saw it. I guess it was because the emperor's dragon energy brought blessings, and I also benefited from it."

Yixiu looked at them, smiled faintly and said nothing.

After this little conflict today, Xiu Yue stayed on purpose.

"Your Majesty, I see that you look tired. I guess you haven't been sleeping well recently. I have a massage technique that can massage your head to relieve your fatigue. Why don't you try it on me?"

Yi Xiu said softly, "Is this palace's face so tired? I am really getting old. You newcomers are so colorful to me."

"How can you say that your majesty is old? She is just a little tired. I was wrong."

Xiu Yue smiled and changed the subject, "Why not let me give Your Majesty a massage?"

Yixiu nodded, wanting to see what Xiu Yue was up to.

Xiu Yue massaged Yi Xiu's head with a very gentle technique.

"Have you heard the rumors in the court recently?"

Yixiu had originally intended to test him, so she followed Xiuyue's words and said, "Are you talking about cheating in the imperial examination?"

"Yes, those students studied hard, but in the end they encountered such an incident. Those ambitious people could not get a chance to succeed. I feel worried when I hear this."

"Moreover, I feel that this matter was not done by Prince Xun."

What Xiu Yue said is not what concubines should pay attention to.

Who is Xiu Yue? She is just an embroiderer of Guangchusi!

Who is behind Xiu Yue?

Is he the emperor emeritus?

No, she was leading Yinzhen to suspect the retired emperor yesterday, but in fact the retired emperor would not do such a thing.

There is someone else behind Xiu Yue!

Yixiu felt that her guess was almost right.

Who is the person behind Xiu Yue?

Yixiu said in a deep voice: "Alright, these are not things that a concubine should be concerned about. You just need to care about the emperor's health."

Xiu Yue hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I am wrong. I am asking this question because I am concerned about your health."

"If you care about my health, you should ask about my health. Why ask about the rumors in the court?"

Xiu Yue stopped talking and finished massaging her head quietly.
