The sunlight outside seemed to be slowly pulled by an invisible giant hand, gradually dimming bit by bit.

Then, the gorgeous sunset light like brocade gradually and softly enveloped the entire imperial city.

Su Jingyao lay lazily on the beauty couch, her body facing the picturesque sunset outside the window.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, brilliant colors reflected in her eyes. The beautiful scenery made her involuntarily temporarily ignore the filth hidden in the dark in the harem.

Miaoyue walked over lightly, holding a bowl of Ajiao soup steadily in both hands, with a look of concern on her face.

"Master, you have no appetite tonight and don't want to eat dinner. I specially made a bowl of donkey-hide gelatin soup for you. Please fill your stomach with it."

"Well, give it to me."

Su Jingyao's voice was very gentle. Although she didn't feel hungry at the moment, she really didn't want to refuse Miaoyue's kindness.

Su Jingyao stretched out her slender jade hand, took the bowl of donkey-hide gelatin soup, then slowly picked up the bowl, tilted her head slightly, and began to drink it in small sips.

Miao Yue on the side continued: “Master, Lin Ronghua was not only framed by Miss Chu, but also by Shen Ronghua. It is said that she was quite frightened and even specially invited the imperial physician today.”

As she spoke, she carefully watched her master's expression.

"And His Majesty also went to Liushuang Pavilion to visit."

Miaoyun stared at her master, and when she saw that Su Jingyao's face was still as calm as water, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Jingyao looked calm, with a thoughtful gleam in her eyes.

In fact, she never thought from the beginning that Jun Zechen would not have sex with anyone else during the month when she was recuperating.

Jun Zechen has been patient for more than half a month, and he comes to Zhaochun Palace to accompany her every day. From this point of view alone, at least her position in Jun Zechen's heart is not low at present.

The requirements for the emperor cannot be too high.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and said softly: "Try to place some of our people in Lin Ronghua's palace. Find a few with average abilities, but there must be one with strong abilities."

"Let her find a way to make the strong one become Lin Ronghua's attendant. As for the weak ones, we must protect the strong one no matter what, even if it means exposing ourselves."

Su Jingyao's expression became a little serious. In this harem, she would not look down on anyone. She had to look three steps ahead before taking one step. She must have sufficient layout and planning.

Now that she has great power in the harem, she can naturally train more people of her own.

She would take precautions in advance against anyone who posed a threat to her.

She is not someone who would just wait for others to harm her. If Lin Ronghua really stood in her way...

Oh.

"Yes, Master."

Miao Yue responded quickly, and then said, "Xilu has recently trained a lot of smart and capable young eunuchs, and so has Nanny Li. Many palace maids in the harem have secretly passed us notes because Zhaochun Palace is favored, wanting to do their part for Zhaochun Palace."

"Yeah." Su Jingyao nodded slightly, her expression still calm.

"Just carefully examine these people. I trust Xilu and Madam Li."

"Although relationships bound by money are not very reliable, the saying 'money makes the world go round' is not just talk. We are close friends, so we don't need to let them suffer in terms of money."

In her opinion, money can solve 90% of the problems faced by the lower class. Meaningless care and empty promises are less effective than giving money.

The only ones who can make Su Jingyao show some sincerity are the girls around her.

"Yes, Master, I understand. Miaoxue is in charge of the account book of Zhaochun Palace. Our Zhaochun Palace is the one that is least short of money in the palace."

Miao Yue said with a proud look on her face.

Liushuang Pavilion.

Lin Ronghua lay quietly on the bed, with a slightly anxious look between his eyebrows.

She stared at the maid Yuqi beside her and asked anxiously, "Yuqi, hasn't His Majesty come yet?"

"Master, don't worry. I have received news that His Majesty is on his way to Liushuang Pavilion."

Yuqi quickly replied with a reassuring look on her face.

Lin Ronghua frowned slightly, and asked nervously, "How does my makeup look now?"

After saying that, she gently touched her cheek with her hand.

"Don't worry, Master. You are already weak, and now you have put on a whiter makeup, which makes you look a little sicker, but it doesn't affect your beauty at all."

Yuqi said with a smile, her eyes full of affirmation.

After hearing Yuqi's words, Lin Ronghua felt relieved and his expression relaxed a little.

After a while, Fuquan's shrill voice was heard coming from afar.

"Your Majesty has arrived—"

When Lin Ronghua heard this, he hurriedly got up from the bed, and in his panic he almost didn't put on his shoes properly.

Before she walked out of the bedroom, Jun Zechen's tall figure walked in quickly.

"Your Majesty, your concubine pays homage." Lin Ronghua hurriedly saluted, her voice gentle.

"Well, get up. I heard that you were sick today?" Jun Zechen said lightly, with a very calm expression on his face.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have been weak since I was a child. I was frightened recently and I suddenly fell ill."

Lin Ronghua lowered his head slightly and spoke in a low voice, looking very adorable.

Jun Zechen nodded gently, "Since you are sick, just go to bed. I really wronged you this time."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Thank you for your understanding."

Lin Ronghua's eyes were instantly filled with emotion, and his eyes were slightly moist.

In the harem, His Majesty had only been to Zhaochun Palace and Yiku Palace in person, while other concubines were always carried to the west hall of Qianqing Palace when they slept with His Majesty, and His Majesty would not let anyone stay overnight.

Although I was in danger during this incident, I escaped unharmed and even gained His Majesty's sympathy.

Now, her Liushuang Pavilion is the only concubine's bedroom that His Majesty has visited, besides Zhaochun Palace and Yiku Palace, and it is also a unique favor among the newlyweds.

Lin Ronghua thought a lot in her mind, and felt an inexplicable sweetness for the special treatment His Majesty showed her.

She believed that as long as she spent more time with His Majesty, he would not be so cold in the future. She would be satisfied as long as she could get a little tenderness from the majestic emperor.

In the silent bedroom, Lin Ronghua, with a slightly pale face, was half lying on the bed, occasionally finding some topics to talk to Jun Zechen.

Jun Zechen would also respond patiently.

However, he did not stay in Liushuang Pavilion for long. After two quarters of an hour, he stood up and said, "Since you are sick, you should have a good rest. I still have some business to attend to in the Ganqing Palace, so I will leave first."

Lin Ronghua originally thought that His Majesty would stay in Liushuang Pavilion tonight, but he didn't expect that he would leave.

A trace of disappointment flashed across her face, her mouth slightly opened, and she begged in a low voice: "Your Majesty..."

Her eyes were full of reluctance and retention; she wanted to keep him.

But His Majesty came because she was ill, and she could not serve him.

Then, she bit her lip lightly, a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes, "I respectfully send your Majesty off."
