Rong Pei sat on the rattan chair and looked around. This was a sunken storage area at the stern of the Qingque Boat, which was as big as the dormitory along the way.

There was a pot of daffodils on the table. The moonlight shone through the window above onto the leaves, emitting a faint light.

Because of monthly abdominal pain, Daru often lay on the ground. The purple-brown bamboo leaf cloak she was wearing had several holes worn out. Her gray and dry hair draped on both sides, covering her eyes which were covered with drooping skin.

Like a mad woman.

Because her nails were broken and her last set of armor was confiscated by Rong Pei, she used her own colorful cloth to wrap her hands full of armor, which looked like they were made of paper.

The daily slapping in the face was enough to make his teeth fall out, and when he spoke, the wind whizzed through the gaps in the mouth, making a whistling sound.

A big, soft tongue licked his lips, and a colorful hand stretched out from the "bed" made of a pile of wooden boards, grabbing Rong Pei's trouser legs.

"Rong Pei, give me some chicken soup. It's time to drink chicken soup today."

Rong Pei's expression was gloomy. She still remembered that when she first met Xian and she agreed, she was so elegant and dignified, which made her feel close to her.

So when she knew she had to accompany Xian Ying to the cold palace, although she was surprised, she followed her anyway. In the cold palace, she only felt that Xian Ying was spoiled and ignorant of the world. But now, how could Xian Ying let herself end up like this?

Rong Pei's tone was unusually gentle. She slowed down her speech and said:

"Xian agreed. The emperor has just appointed a girl from the Jiangnan countryside as Concubine Fang. At this time of love, the emperor has issued an order that the chicken soup is only for him and Concubine Fang. I'm afraid you won't be able to drink it."

Rong Pei's smile did not reach her eyes. "Listen, the beautiful singing outside is coming from the emperor's room. It's so beautiful."

Daru suddenly raised his head, his drooping eyelids tightly wrinkled together and he stared.

"The emperor favored a commoner girl? He enjoyed the pleasure of the imperial boat? And he made her a concubine? How could they allow Wei Yanwan, a woman who flirted with him, to get close to the emperor?"

Da Ru automatically ignored the fact that the emperor was a middle-aged man in his fifties, the master of the world. If he didn't want to favor her, who would dare to send a woman to him and cause trouble?

Rong Pei rolled her eyes and complained in her heart, who said that this was the woman sent by Concubine Ling.

Seeing that Daru was tightly grasping the corner of her clothes, Rong Pei took a step back. With this step, Daru was pulled off the bed and his arm hit the ground with a cracking sound.

Da Ru hugged his arms in pain, curled up into a ball, and screamed.

Seeing this, Rong Pei's eyes flashed with a trace of pity, and she offered to get some medicine for her.

Rong Pei had just come out of the utility room, and Daru raised his head from the ground, his eyes as bright as a candle in the dark night.

She held her broken arm with her other hand and staggered to her feet. Not caring about describing her embarrassment or the fluffy white hair dancing in the air, she limped towards the bow of the ship.

She had no idea that as soon as she walked out the door, Rong Pei came back, pulled out a few little figures that were hidden deep in the prayer flag basket, and followed her with the basket.

The utility room is at the stern of the Qingque Barge, and the emperor's room is in the middle of the Qingque Barge. If you pass through the middle aisle, it will definitely attract people's attention.

The crazy Daru was extremely cautious. She chose to walk along the right side of the ship, which was shielded by rooms on both sides. Except for the guards on duty on the shore, no one would notice this place.

At this time, the lanterns on the shore had not been hung up yet, so Daru was not discovered.

As Daru walked, she used her unbroken arm to tidy up her hair with saliva. She thought that even if her arm was broken, she should still live a decent life.

She will use her integrity to shame the emperor and make the woman who brought chaos to the court feel ashamed of herself.

The lake was deep and bottomless. In a trance, Daru felt that he was like the moon in the lake, out of reach and extremely noble.

She had seen all of the emperor's actions along the way, and she was already in a state of anxiety. She had already thought about what to say to the emperor.

Daru walked very quickly, and it was not until she approached the emperor's room that Jinzhong and Li Yu, who were guarding the door, saw her.

The emperor was having fun with Xia Linglong on the imperial boat, so naturally he would not let the guards serve him closely.

Li Yu wiped his eyes and was about to call the guards on the shore in disbelief, but was pushed into the water by Daru.

Jinzhong came over with a whisk in his hand to stop them, but after one round, he was weakly pushed into the puddle by Daru.

The first people to notice something unusual on the shore were Fu Cha Fu Heng's men, who hurried to report to Fu Heng.

Fu Heng thought that since Xian Dan was a palace concubine, this was the emperor's family affair after all, so he should report it to his sister. So he turned around and went to the queen's Jingshui Pavilion to ask for help.

Daru knocked over four or five serving maids along the way, and several of the colorful cloth armor on his hands fell off.

It was not until she approached the inner room with low beaded curtains that she heard a laugh as loud as silver bells and the lingering and lascivious music.

Da Ru's eyes were bloodshot and he rushed in regardless of everything. At this moment, Xia Linglong was leaning in the emperor's arms. The emperor held her hand and the two of them played the pipa together.

The emperor was also frightened by Daru's sudden intrusion. He asked loudly:

"Where's Li Yu? Where's Jinzhong? How did she get in here?"

Xia Linglong raised her head and saw that the woman in front of her was dishevelled, with brown blood clotted on her clothes and colorful rags wrapped around her stubby fingers.

She frowned, protected the panicked emperor behind her, picked up the teacup on the table, let the emperor take a sip, and asked:

"Your Majesty, where did this old beggar woman come from? How could she get on the imperial ship?"

This sentence angered Da Ru, who was already holding back her anger, but she remained polite, swaying and squatting to salute.

"As the Empress, I beg Your Majesty to stop being willful, cherish your body, take your reputation into consideration, and strangle this lowly woman immediately."

Xia Linglong was sure that this person was a lunatic, because on the second day after she was appointed as a concubine, she met the Empress, who was a gentle and generous woman.

The emperor felt hot all over and cold sweat broke out on his back. He leaned forward and slapped Daru hard. His palm on Daru's face did not have the warmth of a human being, but rather felt like an icy coffin.

"Bitch, lunatic, you still want to be my queen!"

Daru mechanically got up without caring whether the emperor asked her to do so or not. The pain in her arm made her open her mouth wide. She felt that she must finish what she was saying.

So she stared at the emperor.

"Your Majesty keeps saying that I am not worthy of being the Queen, but wasn't it you who chose me as your first wife? The person before me is no longer the same person..."

Before he finished speaking, the emperor suddenly stood up and slapped Daru in the face again.

"I have only done this once in my life that I regret, and yet you keep bringing it up! Also, have I asked you to stand up?"

Seeing that the emperor and the old woman were both crazier than the other, Xia Linglong backed away in fear to avoid being strangled.

At this moment, Fuheng invited Empress Fucha, followed by Concubine Hui, Concubine Jia, Concubine Ling and Concubine Yu.

Li Yu and Jinzhong in the lake also struggled to climb out. Seeing this, the Queen had someone take them downstairs to change their clothes first.

Fu Heng also strode in, apologizing, "I am sorry that I came late to save you, and frightened the emperor."

Daru was pinned down and fell to his knees again.

Fu Cha Langya glanced at Daru lying on the ground indifferently, and then supported Xia Linglong again.

"I don't know. How can you strangle the emperor's concubines at will? As long as they have served the emperor, no matter what their status was before, they are all the emperor's women. How can they be lowly?"

Fu Cha Langya looked at the embarrassed Da Ru with a burning gaze:

"Who dares not to obey the Emperor's order? Xian agreed to strangle Concubine Fang. This is treason and disregard for the Emperor. If it gets out, it will damage the Emperor's reputation!"

Jin Yuyan secretly thought, does the emperor have this thing called Qingyu?

The queen was graceful and elegant. Once she entered the emperor's room, the emperor felt much more at ease. However, now he felt top-heavy and could hardly stand steadily.
