Sheng Yunrong glanced at the emperor cautiously and said, "I think we should first start from within and weaken the power of the imperial concubine's family. Secondly, we should spread spies throughout the palace and closely monitor the movements of the imperial concubine's family. Finally, we should find a suitable opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop."

After hearing this, the emperor's eyes flashed with approval, and he said, "Miss Sheng is indeed smart. Then who do you think is the most reliable person around me?"

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and said, "I think that the eunuch Li beside the emperor is the most reliable. He is loyal and upright, and is well versed in the affairs of the palace. He will definitely be able to help the emperor resolve this matter."

After hearing this, the emperor nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll have Miss Sheng discuss with Eunuch Li how to implement this plan."

Sheng Yunrong bowed and said, "I obey your order."

After coming out of the Imperial Garden, Sheng Yunrong went to find Eunuch Li.

Suddenly, a young eunuch came running over and said, "Miss Sheng, something bad has happened. The Imperial Concubine wants you to go to her palace."

Sheng Yunrong's heart tightened. It was obvious that this trip to the Imperial Concubine's Palace would be a tough one. She tidied her clothes and went to the Imperial Concubine's Palace with her maids.

The atmosphere in the Imperial Concubine's palace was depressing. Sheng Yunrong walked in and saw the Imperial Concubine sitting in the first seat, with her daughter and son standing on both sides. Sheng Yunrong bowed and said, "Your servant greets the Imperial Concubine."

The imperial concubine looked at Sheng Yunrong coldly and said, "Miss Sheng, last time you dared to expose my conspiracy in front of the emperor, today I will let you have a taste of my power."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness has misunderstood. I did not intend to expose your conspiracy. It is just my duty. If you can let go of the past, I am willing to live in peace with you."

After hearing this, the imperial concubine's expression eased a little and she said, "If that's the case, then I'll give you a chance. As long as you can dance in front of me and satisfy me, I won't pursue the matter you exposed anymore."

Sheng Yunrong was delighted, as this was obviously her chance to escape. She smiled and said, "I am willing to try."

So, Sheng Yunrong danced in the Imperial Concubine's palace. Her dancing posture was graceful, like a fairy. The Imperial Concubine looked at Sheng Yunrong with a trace of envy in her eyes. It was obvious that she could never reach Sheng Yunrong's level.

After the dance, the imperial concubine smiled and said, "Miss Sheng is indeed worthy of her reputation. I am very satisfied with your dancing. From now on, I will no longer pursue the matter you exposed."

Sheng Yunrong bowed and said, "Your Highness, I thank you, Your Highness."

Seeing the stern and serious expression of the Queen, Sheng Yunrong could no longer say no. She lowered her head slightly, a hint of helplessness flashed across her brows, but she soon regained her composure.

Seeing this, the Queen smiled softly, with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes. She said softly, "Miss Sheng, are you willing to come with me into the palace and help me handle some palace affairs?"

Sheng Yunrong raised her head, looked at the Queen firmly, and said in a deep voice: "I am willing."

A glimmer of joy flashed in the Queen's eyes. She gently patted Sheng Yunrong's hand and said, "Well, I was right about you. From today on, you will be by my side."

Sheng Yunrong bowed slightly and said, "I obey your order."

Sheng Yunrong was assisting the Empress in handling affairs in the palace. The Empress watched her handling various affairs skillfully and could not help but feel deeply moved. She said, "Miss Sheng, I have already seen your intelligence and ability. However, there is one thing I don't understand and I don't know whether I should ask or not."

Sheng Yunrong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please speak. I will tell you everything I know."

The Queen sighed and said, "I want to know why you are willing to give up your status as the eldest daughter of the Sheng family and come to this deep palace?"

Sheng Yunrong was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Your Majesty, I grew up in the Sheng Mansion since I was young. Although I lived in a prosperous life, I felt an indescribable loneliness in my heart. Until one day, I met the Queen and saw her wisdom and broad-mindedness. Then I realized that there is a kind of life in this world that can enrich people and give them something to pursue. For this pursuit, I am willing to give up everything."

After hearing this, the Queen's eyes flashed with emotion. She held Sheng Yunrong's hand tightly and said, "Good child, I was right about you. Don't worry, I will treat you well and let you find your place in this deep palace."

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the palace, and a beautiful woman in palace dress walked in. She was Xiaohong, Sheng Yunrong's personal maid. When Xiaohong saw Sheng Yunrong, she immediately stepped forward and whispered, "Miss, there is a female official named Li Wan'er outside the palace who wants to see you."

Sheng Yunrong frowned slightly. She knew that Li Wan'er was a female official in the palace and had some misunderstandings with her. She hesitated for a moment, then said to the Queen, "Your Majesty, I want to go out and see her."

The Queen nodded and said, "Go ahead. I'll wait for you here."

Sheng Yunrong walked out of the palace and came to the palace gate, only to see Li Wan'er standing there. She was wearing a light blue palace dress with a smile on her face. When she saw Sheng Yunrong, she immediately stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Meet Miss Sheng."

Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly and said, "Madam Li, I wonder why you came to see me?"

Li Wan'er smiled and said, "Miss Sheng, I came here today to apologize to you. I had some misunderstandings with Miss Sheng in the past, so I came here today to apologize."

Sheng Yunrong smiled and said, "Madam Li, your words are too serious. Let's not talk about the past anymore."

Li Wan'er looked at Sheng Yunrong, a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes, she said: "Miss Sheng, actually I came here for another matter. I recently learned that there is a palace maid named Lin Shiyin in the palace. She was demoted to the cold palace because of her mistakes. I feel sorry for her, and I would like to ask Miss Sheng to help save her."

After hearing this, Sheng Yunrong was silent for a moment, then said, "Madam Li, I have heard of Lin Shiyin, whom you mentioned. She is indeed a pitiful woman. I will do my best to save her."

Li Wan'er smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Miss Sheng. I know I can trust you."

The two talked for a while, and Sheng Yunrong took Li Wan'er back to the palace. When the Queen saw them, she smiled and said, "Miss Sheng, how was your conversation?"

Sheng Yunrong told the Empress what happened. After listening, the Empress nodded and said, "If that's the case, then I'm relieved. Miss Sheng, I believe you will handle it well."

Sheng Yunrong bowed slightly and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best."

At this moment, a palace maid came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has arrived."

The Empress stood up immediately, straightened her clothes, and went out with Sheng Yunrong to greet them. Not long after, the Emperor came in. He was wearing a dragon robe and looked so majestic that people dared not look directly at him.

The emperor looked at Sheng Yunrong and smiled, "Yunrong, you are here. I heard that you have performed very well in the Sheng Mansion recently. I am very happy."
