After preparing herself mentally, Nie Yiyue realized that Lin Zhiyao was not a trustworthy person. After all, Nie Yiyue had seen that she did not care about human life at all.
As for the palace, King Jing himself is rarely seen, and the one who is in charge is that damned eunuch, so he has to deal with him.
Thinking of this, Nie Yiyue stepped into Qingfang Pavilion. This courtyard looked very luxurious from the outside, and the interior was even more luxurious, with every brick and tile showing wealth.
Walking around a small pond full of lotus flowers and passing a small archway, under the green trees, the eunuch was lying leisurely on a rattan chair, enjoying the sunshine.
This world is really unreasonable. A little eunuch who is trying to curry favor with the powerful can actually be in charge of the entire palace and eat and drink the best food!
Nie Yiyue was filled with jealousy. After taking a few deep breaths, she forced a smile and walked forward. "Eunuch Song, are you free now?"
From the moment Nie Yiyue stepped into Qingfang Pavilion, Song Yushu had already received a notice. This girl was too restless. She actually colluded with Lin Zhiyao and intended to send a message to Lin Zhiyao. She had to be punished.
Song Yushu slowly opened her eyes and looked at Nie Yiyue, who was impolite in every gesture. Normally, she should be polite and speak disrespectfully.
So she didn't respond, but just looked at Nie Yiyue coldly until she saw her hair getting red. Then she said, "Miss Nie, although I am a eunuch, I am also the chief official of the palace, from the fourth rank. You have no official position, so you should still follow the etiquette."
In the palace, even a maidservant was older than Nie Yiyue in terms of seniority and status. She had had enough of this. "Eunuch Song, I'm going to move into the mansion in the future too. We're going to see each other often, so why bother with this kind of empty formalities?"
It seems that after a trip to the palace, this girl still hasn't learned the rules. The rules she despises can cost her life in a minute when she is weak.
Song Yushu shook his head. "At this point, do you need me to be frank with you? Did the prince bring you into the palace just to use you? He should have said that when you came, but you still came, which proves that he agrees."
"If you agree, you must cooperate with the prince, instead of being arrogant and even putting on airs with me! Having said that, if you still don't know your limits, don't blame the prince for sending you back to the northern border."
Hearing Song Yushu say this, the fig leaf in Nie Yiyue's heart was torn apart. She had always thought that she had traveled through time and space, and these were just routines, and the whole world would revolve around her.
However, after repeated blows and even being fed poison, Nie Yiyue gradually began to get scared. She wanted to maintain her self-esteem, but she didn't expect that the last bit of her dignity was being trampled under the feet of others.
She glanced at the maids surrounding Song Yushu. They all looked at her with extreme contempt. Nie Yiyue's tears flowed down. She turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped.
"What do you want to do?!" Nie Yiyue turned back to look at Song Yushu in panic.
"Be obedient. Outside, you are still the prince's favorite girl from the northern border. If you collude with outsiders, especially Miss Lin Zhiyao, pass on information and report it to the prince, you will not only be humiliated." Song Yushu stared at Nie Yiyue.
She was also unwilling to take advantage of a girl like this, but when Nie Yiyue came, Lu Zhixing had explained it to her. She was greedy for wealth and climbed up to him without cooperating well, so it was her fault.
Nie Yiyue was shocked and frightened, "You, you, you actually knew that?"
Song Yushu glanced back at Liu An and said, "Liu An, you will take care of her from now on." She glanced at Nie Yiyue again and said, "If you obey, the prince will ensure that you will have no worries in the future. If you don't obey, I will send you to Miss Lin."
If she was sent to Lin Zhiyao, it would mean death. Nie Yiyue's legs finally went weak and she fell to the ground, covering her face with her hands and crying silently.
"Yes, master." Liu An took the order, stepped forward, grabbed Nie Yiyue's arm, and dragged her out of the yard.
Liu An was originally a concubine's daughter in a military officer's family. Not only was she strong, but she also knew some martial arts, making her the most suitable person to be with Nie Yiyue.
"Master, why do you still want to protect Nie Yiyue when she is so ignorant of etiquette?" Chao He was very confused. Such a person should be sent back to the northern border. Keeping her by his side would always be a variable.
"Miss Lin has been wanting to place someone by the prince's side for a long time. Now that we have Nie Yiyue, we can use her as a messenger to convey what we want to say. Otherwise, Miss Lin will not give up." There was another reason that Song Yushu didn't say. She always felt that there was an inexplicable familiarity in Nie Yiyue's actions and words, so she still wanted to protect Nie Yiyue.
This matter was reported to Lu Zhixing, and he immediately wanted to throw this idiot back to the northern border.
I had made it clear to her both explicitly and implicitly when I brought her out, but I didn't expect that she would actually want to act like the hostess in front of Song Yushu. It's really hateful.
Song Yushu saw through his thoughts and persuaded him, "Your Highness, after all, Nie Yiyue knows the details. It won't be so easy to replace her. Just use her for what she is. I can control this matter."
Since Song Yushu said so, Lu Zhixing had no reason to refute. He nodded and said, "The prince's men have already collected evidence of the Ministry of Rites' crimes and are waiting to submit a report to the court the day after tomorrow. The Ministry of Rites will be undergoing a major reshuffle soon. If we want to place someone in this position, now is the perfect time."
"I thought so too. These are the people I want to place in my position, Your Highness. Please take a look." Song Yushu had just finished writing the list while cleaning the yard. She glanced at Lu Zhixing and said, "Your Highness, do you want me to read it to you, or do you want to read it yourself?"
Lu Zhixing, who was about to reach out his hand, paused slightly and coughed lightly, "It's good that I can see a little now, I'll take a look myself." He took the list from Song Yushu's hand.
Was this guy kidding me? Why was his condition recurring like this? Song Yushu stared at Lu Zhixing suspiciously.
Lu Zhixing feigned composure as he looked at the list in his hand. "These people have no background, and their personalities are somewhat old-fashioned and stubborn. Are you sure you want to use them?"
After all, he is a prince, and Lu Zhixing's control over the court is beyond the reach of Song Yushu.
"I know they have strange tempers, but the Ministry of Rites is a place that values etiquette and still needs loyal ministers. However, I am not sure whether they will side with us in the future." Song Yushu told the truth.
"Don't worry about that. We can't be exposed too early. It's okay if we are unbiased. As long as we are fair, these old-fashioned and stubborn people won't make things difficult for us." Lu Zhixing just reminded Song Yushu, fearing that if she wanted to recruit him as a follower, she might get rejected.
Song Yushu nodded, "I understand, Your Majesty. Song Chun just sent me a piece of news that could deal another heavy blow to the Ministry of Rites."
"Oh? What news?"
