Hou Xiaoxiao said mysteriously to Jiang Lili, "Do you still remember your innocent sister Jiang Wanyue?"

The scene of being chased by hungry wolves was still vivid in Jiang Lili's mind. She gritted her teeth and said, "I remember, of course I don't remember! If I ever come back, I'll throw her into the wolf den to feed her!"

Hou Xiaoxiao cracked melon seeds and said, "Jiang Wanyue has been discussing marriage lately. Guess who she has her eyes on?"

Li Sicong: "Hurry up and tell me, don't keep us in suspense! Should it be someone we know?"

Hou Xiaoxiao had an expression of anticipation: "The son of the Grand Tutor, Xue Wei."

Jiang Lili almost choked: "Pfft, Jiang Wanyue has a crush on our study committee member?!"

That’s right, Xue Wei is the name of the study committee member of their class. Just hearing the name, it seems that he is destined to be a study committee member.

Li Sicong was excited. He had only been here for a few days, and their student council member was about to get married. "How far has it progressed? When can we have a wedding banquet?"

Jiang Lili shook her head: "Don't worry about when the wedding will be held. First, worry about the life of the student council. Jiang Wanyue is a man-eating flower. She will do anything to achieve her goals."

"The student council member composed a poem at the eldest princess' birthday banquet. The poem 'The Road is Hard' won the hearts of the noble ladies in the Beijing circle!"

Hou Xiaoxiao exclaimed in admiration: "The Grand Tutor's son was originally mediocre in talent and gave the Grand Tutor a lot of headaches, but now that the student committee has come through, the contrast is astonishing."

Li Sicong said angrily: "Damn, this kid imitated me!"

Jiang Lili quipped, "Come on, you're just a landowner in the mountains, but the student committee members are serious Beijing insiders."

Hou Xiaoxiao: "Plus, the student council member was already a top student, and as an executive of a listed company, he has a natural aura. After traveling through time, he was transformed from a mediocre student into a top student, becoming an ideal candidate for a son-in-law. Everyone is very optimistic about his performance in the imperial examination."

Just by listening to Hou Xiaoxiao's description, Jiang Lili felt how popular the student council was now. "So what is the student council's attitude towards Jiang Wanyue?"

Hou Xiaoxiao shook her head: "The academic committee is busy preparing for the imperial examination and has no time to care, but Jiang Wanyue is pushing me very hard."

Jiang Lili stroked her chin and said, "Given Jiang Wanyue's unscrupulous nature, she might resort to some tricks to get the student council to submit."

Hou Xiaoxiao shrugged: "We can only wait and see. We can't do anything to help."

After the class meeting, Li Sicong returned to his own courtyard, while Jiang Lili slept in the same bed with Hou Xiaoxiao, chatting and reminiscing about the past, talking about things in high school class, the changes that happened after graduation from university... and fell asleep while chatting.

It's been a long time since I felt this way. After graduation, everyone went their separate ways and we barely even had time to chat.

Have a good night.

The cold palace at the hour of Mao.

The sun at sunrise shines on the brick walls of the cold palace, but cannot shine into the open space inside the cold palace, making the already lonely cold palace look even more desolate.

Early in the morning, Zhou Jushan appeared in the cold palace with a eunuch.

His purpose of this trip was to deliver epidemic prevention supplies to the concubines in the cold palace. It was already autumn, a time when epidemics were easily spread.

Originally, Eunuch Zhou didn't need to be involved in such a small matter, but yesterday, after Concubine Rou accompanied Emperor Qingning to appreciate the flowers, she stuffed a bag of gold leaves into his hand and asked him to go to the cold palace to teach Concubine Ying a lesson.

Concubine Rou felt relieved to let Zhou Jushan handle this matter because Eunuch Zhou understood her thoughts very well.

A scumbag like Emperor Qingning has never had the time to care about the concubines' behavior of making things difficult for the concubines in the cold palace, and he wouldn't care even if he knew about it.

So Zhou Jushan took the reward given by Concubine Rou and came to the cold palace to "make things difficult" for Concubine Ying.

Zhou Jushan entered Concubine Ying's room in a rage. He placed a scroll of Buddhist scriptures and writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone in front of Concubine Ying: "Your Majesty, your virtue has failed. I am urging you to copy Buddhist scriptures on behalf of Concubine Rou."

Xin Yingshu was sitting by the window with a pale face, her eyes were bloodshot and the migraine had kept her awake all night.

Xin Yingshu looked at the Buddhist scriptures in front of her and opened the book numbly. Her body was too weak and her wrist was shaking as she held the pen.

However, when Xin Yingshu opened the first page of the Buddhist scripture, he found a piece of paper with a small picture on it.

Xin Yingshu clenched the note in her hand and came back to her senses in an instant!

This is a simple drawing that I taught my nephews and nieces to draw for fun when they were young.

Look at the sharp and tough brushstrokes, it must have been drawn by Che'er!

Che'er and the others are really still alive!

Looking at the painting from a distance, Xin Yingshu realized that it contained the Xin family's secret code that she had taught her nephews.

The code means peace.

Xin Yingshu's spirits lifted, and her dull eyes suddenly lit up.

Very good!

"What are you still standing there for? Doesn't the Imperial Concubine have the energy to copy Buddhist scriptures?" Zhou Jushan shouted at this time: "The Imperial Concubine is hungry, quickly serve her a meal, no matter what method you use, you must fill her up, let her eat until she vomits!"

The eunuch immediately stuffed Xin Yingshu with a hot meat bun.

Xin Yingshu looked again at Eunuch Zhou, who always made things difficult for her, and he gave her a knowing look.

Is Eunuch Zhou one of us?

Xin Yingshu cried with joy, as if the clouds had parted and the moon had appeared.

She held the note in her trembling hands, and looking at the unrestrained and carefree woman on the horse, her heart ached and tears blurred her eyes.

She used to be a role model for the younger generations of the Xin family. Now the children are struggling in such a harsh environment. What reason does she have to give up self-respect while living in the capital?

Perhaps she had lived too comfortably these years. Even though she was in the harem, she still had fantasies about the emperor's heart and thought she was the most special.

The carefree first half of her life was not due to good luck, but to the efforts of everyone in the Xin family. Now that the Xin family has been wronged and is in trouble, how can she just die?

There must be some hidden story behind the rebellion in Marquis Zhaoping's Mansion, and she knew the character of her brother and nephew well.

Now she can't just give in and do what the enemy wants!

"Please hold on, my lady. Someone needs you."

"I don't have much time left. Even if it costs me my life, I will find out something."

"Your Majesty, it's too early to say that. You still have most of your life to live."

After Zhou Jushan finished speaking, the young eunuch who was following him raised his head.

Xin Yingshu suddenly felt familiar with the eunuch's indifferent and bright eyes. Is this... the famous chief judge of the Imperial Hospital, Qi Yun?

This youngest judge of the court is indifferent and aloof. How could he appear here to treat himself?

Zhou Jushan lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, your majesty. We will all lend you a helping hand."

Xin Yingshu was shocked and confused: "Why are you helping me?"

Squad leader Qi Yun said calmly, "It was the Crown Prince's Consort of the Marquis of Zhaoping who was kind to us."

Xin Yingshu was speechless.

Xin Yingshu was shocked to find that her niece-in-law, whom she was not familiar with, had such extraordinary abilities, but she also became more determined. Everyone was trying hard to survive, and even her niece-in-law who had just married into the family had tried so hard. She couldn't let down!

"Then I'll have to trouble you, sir."

Xin Yingshu held onto the table and bowed deeply to Zhou Jushan and Qi Yun.

Xin Yingshu's eyes showed the pride and agility of her youth again.

She must repay kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred. She wants to get better and live to see the day when her nephew and niece return to the capital!
