"Your Majesty, I just remembered something. I wonder if the Emperor has told you about it?"

Empress Fucha asked, "What is Concubine Chun talking about?"

Hailan nervously clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

She went to Concubine Chun's palace so many times and finally persuaded Concubine Chun to ask the Empress when Sister Qingying would come out of the cold palace when she paid her respects.

"Zhenshu was sentenced to death, Yu was reprimanded by the emperor, and even Concubine Jia was stripped of her title and demoted. The cinnabar incident was also blamed on the Ulanara family. I wonder if the emperor has said when the Ulanara family will be released from the cold palace?"

Empress Fucha was speechless when she heard this. The emperor really didn't tell her when Ulanara would be able to leave the cold palace.

"I think the emperor doesn't know where to place Ulanara. After all, the main seat of Yanxi Palace is Concubine Shen."

As soon as Empress Fucha finished speaking, Hai Lan couldn't wait to continue: "There are also empty palaces now, Chengqian Palace and Yikun Palace are both empty."

"Oh, Jingren Palace seems to be empty too. Didn't Ulanara live in Jingren Palace when she entered the palace? If I were to say, Jingren Palace is excellent."

After Concubine Hui finished speaking, she saw Hai Lan's face darken and suddenly felt that her brain was working really fast.

"But Jingren Palace is, after all, the former palace where Sister Qingying's aunt used to sleep..."

"That's why the Ulanara family feels familiar with living there, right?"

Zimu kept fiddling with his armored hands, looking satisfied no matter how he looked at them, and didn't care at all what Hailan said.

Empress Fucha noticed all of Zimu's little movements, shook her head and sighed that he was still young.

Until all the concubines were dismissed, Hai Lan still didn't get the exact date when her sister would be released from the cold palace, so she couldn't help but feel anxious.

As soon as Zimu arrived at Yongshou Palace, he saw Jinzhong, Wang Chan and Lan Cui waiting at the palace gate.

"I will help you get off the sedan chair."

Even though Jinzhong was smiling brightly at the moment, his smile frightened Wang Chan and Lan Cui so much that their hearts were trembling.

Even Wang Chan, who was robbed alive by Jinzhong, took a while to react.

Zimu nodded naturally, put his hand on Jinzhong's wrist, stood up and got off the sedan chair.

"It's so cold, Your Majesty, it's not you who came. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Jinzhong glanced at Wei Yanwan and lowered his head and said, "Master asked me to tell Master Ling that the emperor is planning to release Ulanara from the cold palace."

"Oh, the cinnabar incident was an unprovoked disaster for the Ulanara family. If the emperor wants to let it go, then let it go."

"Please help our master in first, Eunuch Jinzhong. The dried sweet potatoes that our master loves are being baked in the hall. I will go make her some scented tea."

As soon as the weather gets cold, Zimu's Yongshou Palace is the first to use charcoal fire.

Orange-yellow dried sweet potatoes were placed next to the charcoal fire. Because of the heating, Zimu and Jinzhong smelled a sweet and fragrant aroma as soon as they entered.

Just as Zimu was about to take off his cloak, Jinzhong stepped forward and took it off.

Zimu, who felt uncomfortable being looked at by Jinzhong, spoke directly: "So what do you want to say?"

As Zimu watched Jinzhong getting closer to him, he turned around uncomfortably and sat on the chaise longue beside him.

Jinzhong raised his eyes and looked directly at Wei Yanwan: "I used to think that my master Li Yu relied on the Ulanara family who is now in the cold palace to climb to his current position. But after she was sent to the cold palace, I realized that my master relied on you, my master."

Zimu just looked at Jinzhong who was half kneeling in front of him. After a long while, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "If you know it, you shouldn't say it."

I have to say that Zimu's smile at this moment was completely different from usual and it really touched Zhong's heart.

Jinzhong really loved Zimu's seductive sneer.

"I think you might need a servant too."

"Oh?" Zimu stretched out his slender fingers and stroked Jinzhong's Adam's apple, and lightly stroked it with his armored ring finger.

Jinzhong was so surprised by Zimu's actions that it felt like he was meeting the person for the first time.

Zimu tried to withdraw his hand but was caught by Jinzhong in mid-air: "Jinzhong is willing to follow your master's lead."

"Eunuch Jinzhong, I am not a good person. You also said that your master Li Yu, the chief steward of the imperial court, is on my side. Why should I go to the far side instead of the near one?"

Jinzhong looked at the slender white wrist in his hand and smiled, "I know my master too well. People who have read books follow the way of a gentleman. Whatever he cannot do, I can do for you, my master."

Zi Mu chuckled and took back his hand: "You keep calling me your master, but I don't think I respect you that much."

"To be honest, is it the emperor's intention or Li Yu's intention that you conveyed today?"

"All"

"Go back and tell the emperor that I am unhappy and let him handle it himself. Also quietly tell Li Yu not to do unnecessary things and not to deliberately hinder Noble Hai."

After hearing what Zimu said, Jinzhong showed joy on his face.

Zi Mu picked up the teacup and took a sip: "If one day you betray me..."

"I will never betray you in my life."

"You are the emperor's servants, so be careful with what you say and do."

"The slave understands."

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

"Jinzhong is back, what does Concubine Ling say?"

"Master Ling said that since Empress Xian had suffered an unprovoked disaster in the cinnabar incident, it would not be justified for her to continue living in the cold palace. It would be better for all the empresses in the harem to feel at ease if she were moved out earlier."

Hongli frowned after hearing Jinzhong's reply: "Li Yu, what happened in Changchun Palace today?"

Li Yu bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, there was nothing important when we paid respects today. It was just that Concubine Chun and Noble Lady Hai asked when Concubine Xian, who is still in the cold palace, could be moved out."

"What did the Queen say?"

"The Queen said that you should still be considering the palace after Concubine Xian is moved out, so it will be put on hold for the time being."

Li Yu observed Hongli's expression and found that there was no significant change, so he continued: "However, Hai Guiren does have some ideas."

"Oh?"

"Noble Lady Hai said that there are some empty palaces now, and she mainly mentioned that the Yikun Palace and Chengqian Palace are both empty..."

"I don't know since when a noble person could give advice and make irresponsible remarks."

"This... Empress Xian has helped Noble Lady Hai before, so Noble Lady Hai has always been sincere to Empress Xian."

"Okay, no need to say more." Hongli asked Jinzhong uncertainly: "What was Concubine Ling's expression when she said those words? Was she wrong or angry?"

"Your Majesty, this... How dare I stare at the masters in the harem?"

"..."

Hongli: What use do I have for you?

"But when Lingzhuer said that, his tone clearly sounded like he was in a bad mood."

"Okay, you guys go out first, I'll be alone for a while."

After Li Yu and Jinzhong left, Hongli wandered around the Yangxin Palace.

I was thinking about how to explain to Zimu. After all, Zimu’s current poor health was all due to Qingying.

Now one or two concubines who used to be on good terms with Qingying have asked about it, and I can’t always suppress it.

During lunch time, Hongli entered the Yongshou Palace cautiously.
