Looking at the indifference on Concubine Rougui's face, which seemed to be filled with grief, the emperor felt a pang of pain in his heart.

The saying that karma and favors are as delicate as treading on thin ice had already hurt the emperor's heart.

Every concubine in the harem may be a favor to him, but it is the most painful when it comes from one person alone.

That year, Rou'er entered the palace for him. He saw her reluctance and entanglement. Despite the constant right and wrong, it was just her, her sincerity and love, that he could not give up.

What kind of gratitude do they have towards each other?

The emperor stood up silently and left slowly. The empress looked at Concubine Rou, and after Concubine Rou nodded affirmatively, she ordered the servants to take Concubine Lixian away, and then she followed the emperor's footsteps.

Fu Jieyu hurriedly stood up, but was stopped by Zong Zheng Xiaoting.

The faint sound just reached Fu Jieyu's ears.

"Empress Concubine Fu, please stay." Concubine Fu had just taken a step forward, but she stopped short.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's call was timed very well, appearing after the emperor and empress disappeared, and it rang softly. Fu Jieyu, feeling a little guilty, forced a smile, "Does the princess have any instructions?"

"Your Majesty, you are overthinking. How dare Xiaoting tell Your Majesty to do anything? I just want to know if Your Majesty's hand is okay?" Zongzheng Xiaoting glanced at Fu Jieyu with his beautiful eyes and laughed out loud.

"Hand?" Fu Jieyu looked surprised.

But he saw Zong Zheng Xiaoting slowly getting out of bed and looking at him with an inexplicable smile. He felt uneasy in his heart.

"Isn't it?" Zongzheng Xiaoting stopped in front of Fu Jieyu, "My personal maid, Madam Jieyu hit me so hard, how could Xiaoting not know, this Madam Jieyu's delicate hands would not feel pain?"

Fu Jieyu looked at Zong Zheng Xiaoting with a smile on his face. She no longer had the weakness and timidity she had just had. At this moment, the smile was perfectly on her face, and there was no trace of flaw in it. It was as if she was happy when she was talking to her.

However, whether it is happy or not, everyone knows it.

The disguises were so perfect and flawless. These two princesses were more difficult to deal with than anyone else. Moreover, they were the treasures and the apple of the emperor's eye.

"Don't you think, Your Majesty, that Qingqing's injuries are too severe?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Fu Jieyu's frightened face, smiled coldly, and asked a question that made Fu Jieyu's eyes widen.

Originally, she was also puzzled. Although the slap she gave was not small, it was not to this extent. At this moment, the words of the second princess really made her uneasy.

I only felt a faint fragrance floating by, and Zong Zheng Xiaoting had already passed Fu Jieyu and walked slowly to the door.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting leaned against the door railing, looking into the distance. Seeing that there was no one around, he turned his back to Concubine Fu and spoke slowly, "Concubine Zhen's accusation, Concubine Fu is as careful as a dust, and must know the murderer's intention. Concubine Lixian plotted to harm this princess, and she was not surprised by such humiliation. Naturally, she has found a scapegoat. I believe Concubine Jieyu knows this better than this princess. This scapegoat is either Concubine Zhen or Concubine Jieyu. What do you think, is that right?"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting slowly turned around and met Fu Jieyu's eyes. His smile became sweeter, but the smile did not reach his eyelids.

Fu Jieyu bit her lip and said stubbornly, "I don't understand what the princess said."

"Since Your Majesty doesn't understand, this princess doesn't mind explaining it to Your Majesty." Zong Zheng Xiaoting put away his smile and approached step by step. The aura he emanated from her made Fu Jieyu unable to help but take a few steps back.

Suddenly, Zong Zheng Xiaoting grabbed Fu Jieyu's wrist with force. "The assassin knows martial arts and it was a coincidence that he came at night. Among the six palaces, there are only two daughters of generals who know martial arts. Do you think you can escape?"

Fu Jieyu, whose wrist was tightly held by Zongzheng Xiaoting, frowned in pain, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually grew.

Apart from myself, only Concubine Lixian knows martial arts!

That is to say, even if the second princess was not drowned, she would be the one to bear the blame. The crime at this moment, the assassin, the Zhu Luo...

An expression of disbelief was clearly displayed on Fu Jieyu's face.

However, Zongzheng Xiaoting had no intention of stopping. She took advantage of the victory and continued, "The assassin failed to kill me, and the guards came in a hurry. It was really a coincidence that Concubine Fu appeared in my Cuiyun Palace. In order to break in, she almost killed my maid. If it weren't for the Queen Mother and the Concubine, Qingqing would have been separated from me. Since Concubine Fu went to such great lengths, the purpose of her breaking in is not something you can decide."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting dismissively dropped Fu Jieyu's wrist and continued to provoke her, "It's really unfortunate that Qingqing was injured. She deliberately made the injury worse. Only in this way, Lady Jieyu, can you not defend yourself. Just imagine, a person who hits so hard, no matter how you look at it, looks like an act of murder to silence someone, don't you think so? Lady Jieyu!"

"You!" Fu Jieyu widened her eyes in anger and looked at Doctor Chen who was applying medicine to Qingqing.

"Doctor Chen, can you tell whether Qingqing's injury was caused by a single slap or a second man-made injury?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Doctor Chen with a strong warning in his eyes.

"In reply to the princess, Qingqing's injuries will disappear in a moment. I am very confident in my medical skills, but I am afraid that she will die without any evidence." Doctor Chen knew the current situation and helped Zong Zheng Xiaoting to add fuel to the fire.

Although it is difficult to understand what happened tonight, one thing is clear: the princess is eradicating the person who harmed her.

Following Doctor Chen's words, Concubine Fu looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting in shock.

Regardless of whether the assassin is real or fake, the princess has already decided that she cannot escape the connection, but, her own family!

Concubine Rou Gui saw Fu Jieyu's hesitation and naturally understood that every woman in the harem was helpless and had something to do behind her. Concubine Rou Gui's voice rang out, "Don't you know how I do things?"

Concubine Rou Guifei's voice made Fu Jieyu speechless as she looked at the beautiful person.

A smile appeared on Concubine Rougui's face. "Today, the grievances between me and Shangguan Jie Li must be settled. Since she murdered my child, she is doomed to die. How can I allow someone else to die in her place? With my current status, the power of the empress and my family, I think, after this matter is over, is it easier for me to destroy your family or for Shangguan Jie Li to destroy your family? At the very least, I can ask you to be punished for the same crime."

Concubine Rougui's words made Concubine Fu turn pale.

"This princess believes that the Concubine Jieyu knows what to do. You know, if Concubine Zhen's approach fails to get rid of Concubine Lixian, then Concubine Jieyu will also offend Concubine Zhen and her mother's family. You should weigh the consequences. This princess is hurt again. Qingqing, send the Concubine away!"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at the expression on Fu Jieyu's face and understood it in his heart. In order to give her another shot of cardiotonic, Zong Zheng Xiaoting stopped walking back to the bedside, "Being a person who takes my mother's shadow as her shape, Fu Jieyu is already so favored. If she abandons the dark and joins the light, I'm afraid that she will be crowned as a concubine and bring honor to the family. This is truly just around the corner."

Concubine Rougui nodded to Zongzheng Xiaoting. The smiles on the faces of mother and daughter were the same, the smile of a prey on a hook.

Fu Jieyu clenched her fists and when she stepped out of the inner room, the hesitant expression on her face was no longer there.
