"Keep your head up."

The voice was not as loud as that of Concubine Shu, but rather had a sense of dullness and distance.

Shen Wantang slowly raised her head, and what came into her sight was a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes, with pearls and jade on her head, and looking graceful and elegant - she recognized her at first glance, this was the imperial concubine.

"Your servant greets the Imperial Concubine." Shen Wantang did not struggle, but allowed the imperial guards to escort her while bowing respectfully.

The imperial concubine looked down at him with a playful smile on her face, and snorted coldly: "You are abiding by the rules."

Since all the swords had been taken away and there were so many imperial guards beside her, the imperial concubine raised her eyes and gave a cold look to the leader beside her.

The leader understood immediately and just waved his hand, and the imperial guards escorting Shen Wantang retreated.

"Inside the Imperial Palace, we must abide by the rules." Shen Wantang knelt respectfully on the ground and nodded, his voice not as sharp as usual.

Now I am at the mercy of others and there is no need to fight to the death.

In her previous life, she entered the palace as a concubine, and the imperial concubine often treated her harshly, withheld her money, and provoked trouble as if it were commonplace.

But that was only because Shen Wantang received most of the emperor's favor. However, in this life, all that did not happen. Where did the imperial concubine get such hatred?

The imperial concubine stepped forward, stretched out her hand, and gently lifted Shen Wantang's chin with her fingertips. Her arrogant eyes suddenly became cold and gloomy: "She does have the appearance of a foxy woman."

As she spoke, she twirled her fingertips and looked at Shen Wantang with contempt: "If you really follow the rules, how could you meet with the emperor in private?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the imperial concubine suddenly pushed Shen Wantang's face aside.

Shen Wantang's body suddenly lost balance, and he managed to stabilize himself by supporting himself with his hands.

The moment he fell to the ground, Shen Wantang instantly understood - wasn't this the reinforcement that Concubine Shu had brought?

Yes, in the harem, although the relationship between the two of them was not as good as that of close friends, they were still people who shared the same tree.

"Have you ever learned about women's virtues? Oh, I forgot. Miss Shen has been fighting outside with General Shen, so naturally she hasn't read any books." The imperial concubine sneered, and her disdainful eyes seemed to want to eat Shen Wantang.

"But, since you have never been to school, didn't your mother teach you what propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame are?" The imperial concubine's sword-like gaze shot over again, as if she wished she could dig out the girl's heart and lungs.

As soon as he finished speaking, a trace of hatred flashed in Shen Wantang's eyes, and he quietly clenched his fists.

Whenever she mentions her mother, she always gets cannibalistic.

Shen Wantang stood up suddenly, and all the etiquette was thrown out of her mind.

The imperial guards nearby reacted instantly and rushed forward to capture her again.

However, a group of men in armor are naturally no match for a light-bodied girl.

Amidst the darkness, a light-colored figure shuttled through. Even though there were people blocking the way ahead, Shen Wantang just made a move and easily moved the person aside.

It doesn't take so much effort to beat these people.

The imperial concubine stepped back involuntarily, but was still blocked by Shen Wantang.

"My Lady, you are judging others at will and tarnishing a woman's innocence. Is this your upbringing?"

The imperial concubine, who had been so arrogant just now, stood there in a daze for just a few seconds, sweating with fear.

"You, what do you want to do! I'm warning you, this is the imperial palace!" But she still maintained her inherent pride and spoke coldly.

Shen Wantang naturally understood.

Suddenly, she raised her eyes and saw the bright yellow figure.

In this deep palace, the only person who can use bright yellow is him.

He still enjoyed watching the show as before, liked watching Shen Wantang being bullied and then saving her from danger.

However, this trick no longer works on Shen Wantang now.

In this case, why not switch identities and drag this spectator into the game as well?

Shen Wantang composed himself and knelt in front of the imperial concubine in an orderly manner.

Even though she was kneeling on the ground, she remained neither humble nor arrogant: "My Lady Concubine, I will pretend that I did not hear the disrespectful words you said today. I hope that you and I will be considerate of each other. After I finish my official duties, I will apologize to you."

Seeing Shen Wantang's changed attitude, the imperial concubine couldn't help but frown: "Shen Wantang, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"I met with the Emperor only to report official business, but the Imperial Concubine said that I was trying to seduce the Emperor. The Imperial Concubine said that reporting official business was an affair, so what you meant was that the Emperor..."

Shen Wantang did not say anything else, but just raised his eyes and looked quietly at the confused imperial concubine in front of him.

She couldn't hold her temper anymore, she raised her hand high, and her wide sleeves also rose up.

"You bitch! You're talking nonsense!" The imperial concubine's voice was hurried and trembling, and even the flesh on her face trembled along with it.

The wind from the fluttering sleeves blew away the loose hair on Shen Wantang's temples.

A sharp slap landed on her face.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

A shrill and melodious voice was heard, and everyone immediately lowered their heads and knelt down.

Even the imperial concubine who had been so domineering just now quickly turned around and suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Your Highness, long live the Emperor!"

Even though he was shouting in his ears, Shen Wantang's head was buzzing - although this imperial concubine was a girl from a wealthy family who had never done any housework, she was quite strong.

Shen Wantang's face felt burning with pain, but at the moment, she could only swallow her anger.

"What is this doing!"

Ji Xunchuan came towards him slowly, with a stern brow, and spoke in a deep voice, intimidating without even getting angry.

"Your Majesty, Shen Wantang has committed crimes and I am teaching her a lesson." The imperial concubine spoke righteously, and her clever words could turn white into black.

But this time she calculated wrongly - Ji Xunchuan saw everything that happened just now.

"Oh, is it so?"

Ji Xunchuan turned his head and looked at the imperial concubine, and continued to ask in a low voice: "Shen Wantang is a minister, a minister of mine, imperial concubine, don't you know that concubines are not allowed to interfere in court affairs?"

After the words fell, the imperial concubine finally understood and suddenly raised her head, just in time to meet Ji Xunchuan's eyes that were completely emotionless.

"If you don't even know these, then I would like to ask, where is the imperial concubine's family education?"

Ji Xunchuan frowned and his voice became much higher.

Shen Wantang, who was watching all this, thought it was normal - this was just the acting that Ji Xunchuan was best at.

When a king is talked about by his ministers and concubines, he will try to save some face even if he has no temper.

What's more, there were imperial guards kneeling all around.

"Being with Concubine Shu every day, you have picked up these bad habits!" Ji Xunchuan scolded coldly.

When the emperor was angry, no one present was not afraid - except Shen Wantang.
