Situ Xunxiao's gaze towards the three people was somewhat puzzling, but with his extremely slight nod, it also gave Xiang Bichi and the other two a reassurance.

"Nighthawk." Situ Xunxiao called out, and Nighthawk appeared in everyone's sight. Situ Xunxiao also left a message, "Tell them about the matter of Yushi Town in detail. If you have any ideas, report back. I have to go to the palace."

"yes!"

"Farewell, Your Majesty!"

Situ Xunxiao walked away from the pavilion without looking back. Nighthawk explained everything to Xiang Bichi and the others. Everything seemed peaceful and smooth, but no one could understand what plans were being implemented.

Shuyun Palace

Concubine Hua dismissed everyone and secretly came to Shuyun Palace. A crazy concubine, even if she was a noble concubine, was just a nominal concubine. Concubine Hua walked into Shuyun Palace step by step. Although the palace was still solemn and luxurious, there was a vague feeling of decay. This feeling had nothing to do with the furnishings, but the atmosphere of the palace gave people such a feeling.

The lazy palace ladies were now gathering in groups of two or three to chat. Not far away, a pile of fallen leaves was swept up, but because of the sweeping wind, they were blown away again, looking withered.

As I walked in, I could only hear the palace servants' conversations.

"You said that Princess Yunluo is no longer around. Is it really okay for the noble concubine to be like this?"

"Princess Yunfei was originally an unfavored princess. If she had not been with Princess Yunluo all along, and we were afraid that she would instigate the princess to punish us, why would we try so hard?"

"But, she is also a princess. The noble concubine can ignore her, but she can complain to the empress dowager or the emperor from time to time." A low voice, with a little anxiety.

"Are you stupid? In the harem, it's not uncommon for people to climb up the social ladder and bully the weak. Didn't the Queen Mother know about this before? Why didn't you meet with the Queen Mother to hint and warn us?"

"That's right. When the Noble Concubine was still the Noble Concubine, how much of the Empress Dowager's favor did she take away? If the Fourth Prince had not died young, I heard that the late Emperor would have planned to make the Fourth Prince the Crown Prince instead? With this kind of thing, do you think that the Emperor, who was favored by the Empress Dowager and whose position was precarious at the time, would be willing to see her now?"

"That's right. If the Queen Mother and the Emperor didn't favor Princess Yunluo and if Princess Yunluo wasn't close to her, we wouldn't have to be afraid of Princess Yunfei and wouldn't have to make a fuss about the noble concubine."

You and I were talking back and forth, both of you were eloquent, but you both portrayed the faces of the people in the harem vividly.

"You slaves are so brave." Mo Lian's voice sounded coldly.

Hearing the angry rebuke, the servants who had gathered together turned around in shock. When they saw the person coming, they were trembling with fear and knelt down quickly, "Greetings to the Empress Painted Concubine."

"How dare I accept this?" Concubine Hua frowned and looked at everyone's gazes with a cold voice. "Now, I am lucky to still have the emperor's favor. If I lose the emperor's favor by mistake, I am afraid that I will end up like the noble concubine. How can I withstand your great gift?"

"Please spare my life, Madam, I dare not!" The people kneeling on the ground were sweating coldly at the words of Concubine Hua. No one understood why the noble concubine was related to Concubine Hua, while Princess Yunfei had no connection with Concubine Hua. At this moment, Concubine Hua was obviously unhappy that they neglected Concubine Hua.

However, as the most favored concubine in the harem, who even replaced Concubine Jing as the most favored concubine in the harem, no one could figure out what methods Concubine Hua would use. But one thing was certain, Concubine Hua always kept to herself and would never do anything to complain about injustice. She even never set foot in other palaces. But now, she appeared in Shuyun Palace and was angry about their behavior, which made their hearts rise to their throats.

"I can't believe that this concubine who has fallen out of favor would be in such a state, being trampled upon by people, with the whole courtyard filled with despair." The dead leaves blown by the wind happened to fly in front of Concubine Hua. She reached out and picked up the fallen leaves that flew onto her sleeves, making a double entendre.

"Please spare our lives, my lady. We will never dare to do it again."

"Madam, spare my life!"

The repeated cries for mercy made Concubine Hua frown. After catching a glimpse of a figure not far away, she raised her cold eyes and said, "I don't want this to happen again. Although the noble concubine is sick and crazy, the concubine is the concubine, the master is the master, and you should remember that a servant is a servant. Even if the master is powerless and has no one to rely on, you can't treat him lightly."

"Yes!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Concubine Hua said coldly, "I will go to see the noble concubine now. If after I come out, this Shuyun Palace still makes me unhappy, you can wait for the emperor's decree!"

After saying this, Concubine Hua went towards the inner hall. After hearing what she said, everyone's face turned pale and they hurried back to their posts, cleaning the courtyard faster, not daring to slack off for even a moment.

Turning the corner, I saw a beautiful woman with a distracted look on her face. She was mumbling to herself. There was no logic in her words and it sounded chaotic. Her clothes were a little messy, but it did not conceal her unparalleled elegance.

"Your Highness." Mo Lian saluted respectfully, but saw that the other party looked confused. He smiled at her foolishly and asked, "You... hehe, you are so beautiful."

"Thank you, Madam Concubine." Mo Lian smiled lightly, stood up and walked towards the Concubine, looking at her with eyes full of sadness.

"Toffee?" The noble concubine smiled foolishly, "What is a Toffee?"

Mo Lian saw that she knew how to reply, although what she said was very strange, but at least it proved that the other party was conscious of the conversation. Thinking of Situ Xunxiao's explanation, he understood that he could try to find out the true situation of this noble concubine. Lowering his eyes, Mo Lian had a plan in his mind. This person who had just secretly listened to his conversation was now conscious of the reply. All the signs showed that this noble concubine was not stupid!

"My Lady Concubine, even though you are not clear-headed and act crazy, I believe that you are like this because you have been wronged too much and have been mentally stimulated too much, right?" Mo Lian held the Lady Concubine's hand and asked kindly, with regret in his eyes.

The noble concubine, who was pretending to be crazy and stupid, was also slightly trembling in her heart at this moment. What exactly did this favored concubine want to do by coming to Shuyun Palace at this time? Suspicious in her heart, she became more cautious.
