"Rong Pei, I really want to ask you, are you a servant of the harem, or the master of the palace? You are disrespectful to the emperor, to me and your noble lady, do you think you are the emperor?"

"You keep saying that you only recognize the emperor and Ruyi as your masters, but I see that you don't take the emperor seriously at all. You're almost poking the emperor in the face with a plate."

"I also heard that you had a fight with Concubine Mei, and yesterday you framed Concubine Yu. Now you are disrespectful in front of me and Concubine Ling. Are you really so bold? Do you really not want your life?"

Jin Yuyan patted Rong Pei's face again, "You offended these people because of Concubine Xian. Any one of them can bring you to eternal damnation."

Rong Pei still stared with her eyes wide open. She had actually offended so many concubines. What should she do if Concubine Jia, Concubine Yu, Noble Lady Ling and Noble Lady Mei went to sue her together.

She is just a servant, she is just a servant, Concubine Jia is right.

Wei Yanwan also walked forward and looked at Rong Pei, who had slapped her countless times in her previous life. In this life, she became a dog of Ruyi again.

The difference is that she is now a good sister blessed by the Queen, favored by the Emperor, and a favorite concubine who has been newly conferred the title of a noble lady.

Wei Yanwan swung her arm and slapped Rong Pei on the left cheek, loud and crisp.

Rong Pei actually wanted to reach out and grab Yan Wan, but was held down by Chun Chan again. Yan Wan swung her arm and slapped Rong Pei on the right cheek again, crisp and loud.

Wei Yanwan's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and she felt very refreshed. Seeing that Wei Yanwan was sad, Jin Yuyan reached out and embraced her.

Wei Yanwan looked straight at Rong Pei.

"Does it hurt? Although I am just a noble in your words, you cannot afford to offend me, Rong Pei, this is what you deserve!"

Jin Yuyan wiped the tears from Yanwan's eyes and coaxed her softly, "Okay, okay, don't argue with this servant. Let's go to Zhongcui Palace to see Concubine Chun's Sixth Prince, and by the way, see what delicious food Mu Ping has."

Yan Wan said in a muffled voice: "Well, okay, but what should I do if I'm still not satisfied?"

Jin Yuyan said in a gentle tone, "Let's play with them slowly, don't cry."

Jin Yuyan turned around and looked at the kneeling Rong Pei: "Rong Pei, do you still remember A Ruo? What crime did she plead guilty for you and Ruyi? Are you still worthy of her by helping the evildoer today?"

Rong Pei's ears were getting more and more painful. The two carnelian earrings weighed more than one or two taels in total, making her dizzy.

Because of the previous arsenic poisoning, the pain in her lower abdomen came frequently. The scorching sun at noon in autumn was still shining brightly, and Rong Pei's sweat dripped down.

After kneeling for three days and three nights, Rong Pei crawled back to the Yikun Palace, which was still under house arrest.

For three consecutive nights, Ruyi was frightened by A Ruo's ghost and could not fall asleep. She did not wash her face or put on makeup, and looked ten years older.

Ruyi grabbed Rong Pei's arm and shook it wildly.

"Rong Pei, A Ruo's ghost is back. She is here to take my life. Beat her away!"

Rong Pei was already exhausted from kneeling, and was frightened by Concubine Jia and Concubine Ling. When she heard Arruo's name, she broke out in a cold sweat and fainted.

"Kang Dang"

Ruyi looked at Rong Pei falling straight down, and she felt much more at ease. She murmured, "A Ruo, you can take Rong Pei's life, but you can't take mine."

Lingzhi was watching this scene outside the palace. She called Yunzhi and wanted to ask the guards to help call the imperial physician. She thought the master must be crazy.

That night, Rong Pei woke up. As expected, A Ruo did not come to haunt her again. Ruyi was relieved, but she looked at her nails, pouted and said to Rong Pei:

"Rong Pei, Ah Ruo took away my dignity, but I forgave her, so she also took into account the relationship between master and servant and did not hurt me again. But what's wrong with you? Was the red chalcedony earring on your ear also given to you by Ah Ruo?"

Rong Pei touched the earrings and said, "This was given to me by Concubine Jia and Noble Lady Ling. They said it was a reward, but it was actually a punishment."

Ruyi sighed, "Rong Pei, you have suffered with me, but I believe in the friendship between the emperor and me. We once fell in love with each other at the first sight of a song. The emperor has me in his heart, but now he is helpless."

Rong Pei thought for a moment, "That day when I went to deliver something, Concubine Jia was indeed there."

Ruyi nodded solemnly: "That's right, the emperor was afraid of the Fucha family and the Yu family, so he had to punish me. In fact, the emperor's affection for the queen, the imperial concubine and the Jiafei is only superficial."

Rong Pei digested and absorbed her master's words. What her master meant was that the more the emperor liked someone, the worse he would treat that person, and the more he hated someone, the better he would treat that person.

So the emperor sent his master's maids to the Ministry of Punishment, sent his master to the cold palace, demoted him, and put him under house arrest, all because he loved him too much.

Is this reasonable?

This is not reasonable.

Rong Pei thought of what Concubine Jia said again. She was just a servant and had offended many people on behalf of her master. Once her master fell, she would be doomed.

And there is A Ruo. Before she died, all she wanted was revenge for her and to wake her up. She felt sorry for herself and for A Ruo.

Rong Pei's eyes were filled with tears. She was not living alone, so how could she keep helping the tyrant to do evil?

In Qixiang Palace, after checking Yongsheng's homework, Jin Yuyan asked Li Xin to send him back to Xiefang Palace.

Zhenshu applied pearl powder and milk to Jin Yuyan's face. While applying it, Jin Yuyan said to Suo Xin:

"惢心, that Ruyi is really a coward. She was just playing tricks with a few phosphorescent lights, and Zhenshu put on a white dress and wandered outside the wall a few times, and she was scared to death. It's really boring."

Ruoxin removed Jin Yuyan's armor and gently applied peach-scented hand cream to her.

"I only wish I could scare her to death and avenge Sister A Ruo. If she hadn't stood by and watched, how could Sister A Ruo have taken that path? And Rong Pei, Sister A Ruo really saved her in vain!"

Jin Yuyan took Suo Xin's hand and comforted her, "I was not firm enough about A Ruo's matter. I should have stopped her at that time and kept her in Qixiang Palace to serve, and should not have let her go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

惢心 shook her head. She knew Sister A Ruo's character. "My dear, Sister A Ruo has a strong character and will never give up. She left Kaixiang Palace with the intention of fighting to the death with Concubine Xian."

Jin Yuyan closed her eyes and said, "Zhenshu, although you can't pretend to be a ghost to scare Ruyi anymore, don't stop giving her the wormwood soup during the days she's confined. Let her have a taste of the feeling of tossing and turning and not being able to sleep."

In Yihuan's Chengqian Palace, Yanwan made up her mind to tell Yihuan the truth in advance. Now the Tenth Prince has not been born yet, Yihuan has not drunk the contraceptive soup, and the emperor's contraceptive soup was only given for less than five days before it stopped. There is still time for everything.

Yanwan told Yihuan everything about the Emperor's concerns about the Empress Dowager and the fact that he finally stopped giving her the contraceptive soup.

Perhaps Yihuan still had a bit of calmness. With tears in her eyes, she said to Yanwan with a bitter smile:

"Yan Wan, I fell in love with the emperor at first sight outside the palace a year ago. Fortunately, I was able to enter the palace with the recommendation of the empress dowager. After entering the palace, I gradually understood that the emperor's heart was not only filled with love, but also checks and balances. He gave me the contraceptive soup just because he was afraid that I would speak for the empress dowager, but he was wrong about me. Since I love him, I don't want to embarrass him."

Yanwan thought of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother had made all kinds of plans, but she didn't expect that Yihuan really loved the Emperor to the core.

"Yihuan, the emperor has already thought it through and stopped giving you the contraceptive soup. You don't have to be sad. You will definitely have your own child soon."

Yihuan's expression gradually softened. "Since the emperor has stopped my medicine, I will pretend to be confused. It is rare to be confused about the affairs of the world. As long as I can be with the emperor, I will be very happy. Yanwan, thank you for telling me."

Yanwan thought that Yihuan was not like her and Yuyan. He was not a decisive and ruthless person. It was rare for him to accept the truth calmly.

Now that Yihuan knows the emperor's thoughts, when she gives birth to the tenth prince, there will be no risk of being too sad by suddenly learning the truth. She hopes Yihuan can have a stable life.

Yan Wan finally told Yi Huan: "Yi Huan, the Queen Mother brought you into the palace. Once the Emperor and the Queen Mother have resolved their grievances, they will naturally treat you with kindness. This situation is not your fault. If you are sad, come to me and Mu Ping, and we will have fun together."

After Yanwan left, Yihuan sat by the window, copying the emperor's poems in his hands, copying faster and faster.

The good things in the world are not solid, colorful clouds are easily dispersed and glass is fragile. This is even more so in the harem and the royal family. She should have known long ago that the kind of pure mutual understanding she wanted should never be forced on the emperor.

Yihuan put down her pen and smiled coldly. Everything is up to her heart. Now she still loves the emperor, so she will only love the emperor...
