Xianfei changed the subject and turned to Song Niannian, "Nianpin, come to think of it, could it be that you are frail? Then why is it that only Concubine Lin is here today, and not Concubine Ruan?"

The virtuous concubine is related to the Ruan family. Ruan Rui has been severely punished in the palace recently, and her family members have come to the virtuous concubine for help. Today, the virtuous concubine is speaking for Ruan Rui!

Lin Fei glanced at Song Niannian quietly, and said to Concubine Xian, "Reporting to Her Majesty, Concubine Ruan was disrespectful in front of Concubine Nian in Qianyuan Palace yesterday, and has been confined to her house for another half month by His Highness."

Xian Fei, "Oh? Hasn't she been locked up for half a month? Why is she locked up again? Nianpin is young, but she has a strong temper. Could it be that we have all gotten over the previous verbal dispute, but Nianpin hasn't, and she is feeling guilty because of what she said?"

Guilty? Is it because Song Niannian and Gu Jing have a close relationship?

Or does Song Niannian look like Ruan Rui and is Ruan Rui's stand-in?

Song Niannian didn’t sleep well, she was very sleepy and in a bad mood!

Whenever she was wrongly accused, Song Niannian couldn't help but reach for the small, fiery red whip around her waist.

Song Niannian asked, "Empress Xianfei, are you so kind because you have a close relationship with Crown Prince Gu Jing, and therefore you are particularly concerned about the affairs of the Eastern Palace?"

"You, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Oh? Am I just talking nonsense? Your Majesty, the Virtuous Consort, has lived in the palace for a long time. You're so concerned about the Crown Prince's affairs, and you're so familiar with Concubine Lin. I'm so suspicious. Could it be..." Song Niannian dragged out her voice and said suddenly, "You're worried about the Crown Prince's health and want to show more care as a concubine mother, so that His Highness can feel the mother's love?"

"Song Nian! Nian!" Concubine Xian slammed the table and gnashed her teeth, "I'll tear your mouth apart!"

"Your Highness advises you to be cautious!"

Snap! Song Niannian slammed the whip on the table.

Slamming the table? Who's afraid of who?
