Everyone looked up and saw a young man in white robes walking out from behind the screen.

Bright eyes and white teeth, unparalleled in the world.

He walked unhurriedly, casually twirling a folding fan in his hand, and leaned back on the phoenix throne reserved for the Empress Dowager.

Charming and noble.

He resembled a white-clad swordsman described in a storybook, incredibly captivating.

The concubines were stunned for a moment.

Several of the younger children blushed immediately, and some even dared not meet her gaze.

My first reaction was: How could there be such a handsome man in the world?

My second reaction was: This person is actually Yue Sijin?!

Only then did they belatedly realize that Yue Sijin was a man.

Yes, all these years, Yue Sijin has been guarding Renshou Palace every day, more delicate than a woman, and they've almost forgotten about this...

What are you all standing there for?

Si Jin said, "Greet your greetings, and then hurry on your way. I need to rest."

The Empress stood there, stunned, her wide eyes filled with disbelief.

She seemed to suddenly understand why Xiang Yinghan had liked Yue Sijin back then.

Such a beauty would make anyone's heart flutter at first glance.

How could you possibly let go of someone you fell for at first sight?!

Consort Li could no longer bear it. She stepped forward, kicked over Qingzhu's corpse, and demanded an explanation in a stern voice:

"Your Majesty, I have come to pay my respects. What do you mean by leaving me a corpse?!"

"What, Consort Li doesn't like her?" Si Jin chuckled. "Isn't this the person you placed by my side? I thought you liked her very much."

"Today, I was planning to return the person to you while I was paying my respects."

"But unfortunately, you are too clumsy in your work. You even managed to cut your own throat with a hairpin while putting a white jade crown on my head. Next time, we should find someone more clever."

"Otherwise, if you don't serve me well, people will keep dying. You'll be miserable, and I'll be miserable too. Why bother?"

“You…” Consort Li gritted her teeth in hatred, her hands clenched tightly, her nails scratching her delicate skin.

Yue Sijin's actions were clearly intended to intimidate her!

Having finally witnessed the arrogant Consort Li suffer a setback, the Empress and many other concubines took advantage of her misfortune.

"When Consort Li sent people to the Empress Dowager's palace, it was to fulfill her filial duty, but to put it bluntly, wasn't it also a form of surveillance?"

"The crime of spying on the Empress Dowager is no small matter. Can Your Majesty bear the consequences?"

"I advise Your Majesty to apologize to the Empress Dowager as soon as possible, otherwise, if this gets to the Emperor, it might not be so easy to get away with it."

Countless criticisms came one after another, like sharp swords, slowly torturing Consort Li's heart time and time again.

Consort Li's face was extremely ugly, and she looked like she wanted to grind her teeth to powder.

Upon seeing this, Si Jin's beautiful eyes lit up.

Three women make a drama, let alone in the harem where a hundred flowers bloom.

He knew these people weren't truly on his side, but now that they had a common enemy, they would unexpectedly unite.

Consort Li looked at Si Jin on the phoenix with a complex mix of emotions, her eyes burning red with humiliation and hatred.

Yue Sijin is just a nobody in the family, a complete waste. Does she even deserve an apology from her?!

As if sensing her thoughts, Si Jin straightened up slightly and turned her head to look at her:

"What? You think it's wrong of me to ask you to apologize?"

"If Consort Li's pride is truly that strong, she doesn't have to apologize. She can kneel on the cobblestone path outside the palace for three days and three nights, and that will be the end of it. How about that?"

Consort Li was pampered since childhood, and after entering the palace, she won Xiang Yinghan's favor because of her first-rate divination skills.

Therefore, they became increasingly arrogant and domineering. They would never tolerate such humiliation.

He immediately roared, "Yue Sijin, you think too highly of yourself! You think you're worthy to make me kneel?!"

"Don't even think about it unless you dare break my legs... Aaaaah!"

Before he could finish speaking, his legs were snapped off by a stick that floated by.

Consort Li lost her support instantly and knelt down in front of Si Jin with a thud.
