Fu Jieyu was about to scold, but when she looked up, she saw the chief guard Yuan Xian put down his hand.

"Your Majesty, please think twice. In the harem, when you hit someone, don't hit them in the face. What's more, the Second Princess's concubines are not people who can be taught a lesson. Be patient for a while, and everything will calm down." Yuan Xian lowered his voice and advised Fu Jieyu.

Fu Jieyu reluctantly withdrew her hand.

She glanced at Yuan Xian with her beautiful eyes and pursed her red lips.

"Why don't you get out of my way!" Fu Jieyu scolded Qingqing.

"Even if your Majesty wants to kill me, I will not retreat an inch." Qingqing met the gaze of Majesty Fu with a fearless look on her face.

"Then I want to know why this Cuiyun Palace is so unique and different!" Fu Jieyu approached step by step, staring at Qingqing with a stern look on her face, "The assassination is a serious matter. Even if the princess is favored by the emperor, she should not be so reckless and stop the guards from searching the palace. Could it be that the second princess is intentionally sheltering the assassin and plotting something bad?"

"You should know that what the Empress cannot tolerate most is people in the harem who attack without a purpose."

"Could it be that you and the assassin held the second princess hostage, so..." Fu Jieyu looked at Qingqing with ill intentions.

"Her Majesty the Concubine keeps saying that she is here for the princess. I wonder what she is afraid of. I am really terrified." Qingqing lowered her head with a respectful look on her face, but her words did not show any respect at all.

However, these words spoken calmly implied that Concubine Fu could not tolerate the Second Princess.

Fu Jieyu's eyebrows, which were raised in anger, lost their beauty at this moment. "How dare you to speak to me like this? Ye Hong, slap me!"

"Empress Concubine Fu." Yuan Xian spoke again, with a hint of urgency in his tone. He looked into Concubine Fu's eyes with a look of disapproval, and shook his head at her almost invisibly.

However, this time, Fu Jieyu did not follow Yuan Xian's advice. She was so angry at Qingqing's attitude that she slapped her suddenly.

In anger, Fu Jieyu swung with great force, and the palm print soon appeared on Qingqing's face, and her fair face turned red.

Although it was painful, he still stood at the door with dignity.

There was no trace of resentment in his eyes, nor any sign of retreat.

At this moment, Qingqing only remembered Zong Zheng Xiaoting's instructions in her heart. No matter how difficult things were, she must remain calm, neither humble nor arrogant, and never give in.

The target of the princess' bet today is Liv Palace.

Fu Jieyu's arrival was definitely not well-intentioned.

No matter what, we must not give in.

Qingqing hid her hands in her sleeves and clenched her fists, bowing her head respectfully, "Even if the Concubine wants to cut me into pieces, I can only guard the gate of Cuiyun Palace."

Yuan Xian looked at Qingqing's cheeks which were becoming increasingly red and swollen, and the shock in his heart was crashing through his limbs.

In the harem, she has seen too many servants who try to curry favor with the powerful and look down on the weak, and too many people who are submissive and obey orders against their will. There are many palace maids who are loyal to their masters, but there are not many who are as calm and composed as her. What kind of charm does the submissive Second Princess have that can make such a person willing to risk his life for her?

"You lowly slave, do you think that because you are the second princess's person, I can't touch you? If a slave dies in the harem, do you think it's really a big deal?"

"I am curious about what Concubine Fu dares to do!" A melodious female voice came from not far away.

No one would have thought that in the dead of night, the Empress and Consort Rou would come without lighting a light. That was why Consort Fu, who had not seen the light, was so arrogant.

However, despite all the planning, he had never expected that the Empress and Concubine Rou would come like this. At this moment, every word of what he heard fell into the ears of the Empress and Concubine Rou.

Fu Jieyu turned towards the direction of the Queen in panic.

"My sister pays respects to the Empress and the Concubine."

"I am really uneasy about Concubine Fu's greetings." Concubine Rou chuckled.

Hearing Concubine Rou's words, Fu Jieyu lowered her head even lower, but she couldn't help cursing Concubine Rou in her heart.

The two sisters ignored Fu Jieyu who was kneeling on the ground, and walked past Fu Jieyu from the left and right and came in front of Qingqing.

"Qingqing pays respects to Her Majesty the Empress and Her Majesty the Concubine."

"Your humble servant greets the two queens." Yuan Xian, who was beside Qingqing, also hurriedly bowed.

"No need to be so polite." The Queen said to Qingqing and Yuanxian.

"Qingqing, get up quickly. Let me take a look." Concubine Rougui pulled Qingqing over, her brows tightly locked. Half of Qingqing's face was swollen and bruised. From the injuries on Qingqing, it was clear that the person who had attacked her was ruthless.

Concubine Rou Gui raised her eyes and asked, "Who is so audacious? Is it because I have been staying indoors for many years and have forgotten that the harem has changed its rules, or is it because some people are taking advantage of their favor and becoming arrogant?"

Concubine Rougui's words made Fu Jieyu lower her head even lower. The night was as cold as water. At this moment, Fu Jieyu, who was kneeling on the ground, could clearly feel the cold and pain from her knees.

"Qingqing, you speak." The queen maintained her dignity in front of others and said to Qingqing.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qingqing bowed and then narrated everything that had happened.

However, as Qingqing spoke more and more, the expressions on Concubine Rougui and the Empress' faces became more and more solemn.

Yuan Xian had to remain silent.

Just now, I repeatedly stopped Fu Jieyu because I thought that if the deputy guard went to Tianfeng Palace, it would be expected that the queen might visit. Unfortunately, Fu Jieyu was always impatient. Or maybe it was because she was too self-inflated.

The wind blew gently, and the sound of footsteps colliding with each other echoed in the night.

"According to Concubine Fu's words, isn't it me who is also plotting something evil?" Concubine Rou Gui walked in front of Concubine Fu, looking down at the person kneeling on the ground with cold eyes.
