Shen Fu had never expected that the Emperor would send someone to deliver the account book right after he left.

This time, Shen Fu's wishful thinking came to nothing. And since His Majesty asked her to learn the account book business, it was no longer possible to keep it a secret.

The news spread quickly.

The first person to receive the news was naturally Concubine Rong.

In Ronghua Palace, Rong Fei was still having a meal. When she heard the news, her hand holding the spoon paused.

"What did you say?"

Rong Fei thought she had heard it wrong, so she stopped moving and looked forward in a daze.

Nanny Qin was silent, looking at Concubine Rong's expression, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

But Rong Fei was not willing to give in at this time, staring at the person in front of her: "Say it again!"

Nanny Qin finally gave up and continued, "Your Majesty, have someone teach Concubine Shen how to keep accounts."

"It seems...it seems that she wants Concubine Shen to manage the harem."

Nanny Qin had great difficulty uttering the last few words.

The authority to manage the harem has always been in the hands of Concubine Rong. Ever since that incident, His Majesty has deprived Concubine Rong of her right to manage the harem.

But in the harem, Rong Fei still holds the highest position so far.

I thought, after this matter is over.

The matter of managing the harem power was finally handed over to Concubine Rong, but no one expected that His Majesty had kept the news of letting Shen Fu manage the harem.

Rong Fei was stunned for a long time, then she threw the thing in her hand to the ground with a bang.

Broken porcelain fell to the ground, and the servants around them knelt down quickly.

Even Nanny Qin was so frightened that she knelt on the ground.

Rong Fei sat on the chair and laughed, but as she laughed, tears kept flowing from the corners of her eyes.

"Why does Your Majesty treat me like this?"

Rong Fei had never felt so heartbroken. She was like a chess piece, without grace, without rights, and now even without the last bit of dignity.

She may still have a glimmer of hope.

As long as she is still a concubine, the power to manage the harem will sooner or later fall back on her.

But now, even this last glimmer of hope is gone.

If His Majesty really keeps Shen Fu to manage the harem, Shen Fu's promotion in the future will be a foregone conclusion.

If Shen Fu is promoted to concubine...

Thinking of this, Rong Fei felt a darkness before her eyes. His body couldn't help shaking, and he fell straight to the ground.

"Empress!" Nanny Qin was horrified and rushed over to save her.

But she knelt on the ground, but she was still a step too late.

Rong Fei fell straight down from the chair, and her body landed heavily on the carpet.

The broken porcelain just fell down and instantly cut Rong Fei's cheek.

"My queen!"

Nanny Qin hurriedly picked up Concubine Rong, but when she looked down, she saw that her face was covered in blood.

Her eyes went dark and she almost fainted.

*****

Ronghua Palace hurriedly sent someone to call the imperial physician.

Concubine Rong was injured, and her injuries were not light. Apart from the broken thigh bone, the most important part is the face.

The broken porcelain scratched his cheek, leaving tiny traces of blood all over it.

Fortunately, the porcelain was too blunt and the scratch was not deep.

But even so, looking at the wound on Concubine Rong's cheek, the imperial physician still did not dare to take it lightly.

The Imperial Hospital treated Rong Fei's injuries with trepidation.

And the news that Concubine Rong was injured also spread.

Rong Qi and Meng Siyao had just rushed over from the Queen Mother. After hearing the news, they immediately waited at the door.

They had no idea what had happened, but they lived in Rongfei's palace and had such a relationship with Rongfei.

Since something happened to Concubine Rong, they naturally acted worried.

The two men watched the palace maids coming and going, and saw the bloody basins being brought out of the house from time to time, and they both stood there in panic.

"What's going on?" Rong Qi waited for a long time but no one came to pay attention to him.

She was getting impatient waiting, so she grabbed a palace maid and asked, "What happened to my elder sister?"

The palace maid was grabbed by the arm by her and dared not struggle.

He just knelt on the ground and replied carefully: "Rong Fei hurt her face, the imperial physician is treating her."

"Did you fall and hurt your face?" Rong Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Instead of looking unhappy, his eyes were shining with brilliance.

"How did you hurt your face?" A concubine's appearance is of great importance.

If Concubine Rong's face is disfigured, she will no longer be favored in the future.

And she had a 10% greater chance of entering the palace.

The surprise on Rong Qi's face could not be concealed.

"I don't know." The maid didn't dare to reply, and took advantage of Rong Qi's distracted moment to slip away.

Rong Qi had no time to pursue the matter, but it kept churning in his mind.

If Concubine Rong's appearance were ruined, she would be of no value at all.

Her family will no longer provide her with any support.

Everything she owns now will belong to her in the future.

Rong Qi's eyes lit up, and Meng Siyao beside him obviously thought of it as well.

The two looked at each other and were about to speak when there was a sound at the door:

"His Majesty has arrived!"
