...
The entrance to Yuxiu Palace was deserted and two eunuchs were guarding the door. As soon as Zhang Miaoyu arrived at the gate of Yuxiu Palace, she found Concubine Lan and several concubines and noble ladies were there.
"Sister Yufei!" When Concubine Lan saw Zhang Miaoyu, she hurriedly bowed and greeted her.
Zhang Miaoyu asked: "What are you doing here?"
Lanpin looked worried: "There are rumors in the palace that Concubine Mei is using the art of exorcism to curse the Kingdom of Qing... My sisters are curious and want to see what the bronze plate looks like."
Zhang Miaoyu originally wanted to secretly find Liu Ruyan to interrogate her about the situation. However, a group of people came to the gate of Yuxiu Palace, and there were so many people and eyes, so Zhang Miaoyu had to give up the idea of meeting Liu Ruyan in private.
Zhang Miaoyu cleared her throat and pretended to be dignified: "The emperor will review and decide this matter. You should go back to your palace and do not cause any trouble."
Lanpin and others looked at each other.
Lanpin clutched her handkerchief and said, "That's fine. When the emperor comes back, he will clear Meifei's name."

At dusk, the emperor's carriage drove out of the gate of the Ministry of War.
Li Yuanjing sat in a luxurious carriage, holding a military defense map of the southern border in his hand. He looked all the way and his eyes gradually became sore.
Eunuch Deshun handed over the tea that can clear your mind and brighten your eyes, and said with concern: "Your Majesty, please drink your tea first. If Concubine Chen and the Queen Mother knew that you have sore eyes, they would probably be worried again."
Li Yuanjing put down the military defense map and drank a sip of tea: "Did Weiwei write a letter?"
Deshun is worthy of being a servant who came out of Shenwei Palace, and he speaks very skillfully. He did not answer directly, but said respectfully: "To pray in a Buddhist temple, one must put aside worldly concerns, and only then will the prayer be effective. The noble concubine is filial to the Queen Mother, so she will naturally accompany her at all times, and it is difficult for her to be distracted."
Li Yuanjing sighed.
He was extremely uncomfortable with Shen Wei's absence and couldn't even sleep well. Lying alone in bed at night, I habitually reach out to touch the edge of my pillow, but it is empty.
He planned to visit Leyou and his two sons first after returning to the palace and rest early tonight.
The emperor's carriage passed through the palace wall and drove towards the Cining Palace. Li Yuanjing sat in the carriage with his eyes closed to rest and relieve the fatigue of the day.
Suddenly, Zhang Miaoyu's clear voice came from outside the carriage: "Your Majesty! Something ominous has been dug up in Concubine Mei's palace. It is difficult for me to judge, so I can only ask you to go over and take a look."
