The main hall of Kunning Palace.

The Empress, the Imperial Concubine, and the Shufei sat at the top.

After some discussion, they decided to take Concubine Li away and keep her under strict supervision until all the evidence was collected, and then report it to the emperor together for him to make the decision.

After Concubine Li was taken away, the atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became weird.

The harmonious atmosphere that was deliberately created instantly collapsed amid the whispers of the concubines.

Since everyone has left, there is no need to pretend anymore.

Li Guiren was defeated. Are there not many concubines like her in the deep palace?

What is truly disturbing is the elusive inner voice of Lady Ji.

——Lady Ji’s inner voice was too mysterious and out of their control. She was like a wild horse running wildly without a rein, which was very scary.

When the concubines thought of this, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

If we allow Concubine Ji to continue like this, won't everyone in the palace be in danger?

After all, who can guarantee that there is no darkness in their heart and that they have not done some unknown immoral things after entering the palace?

But Guiren Ji can pierce through everyone's disguise at any time.

"It's really scary."

A concubine frowned, her tone full of worry.

"Who will dare to stay with Lady Ji in the future? If she sees any secrets, won't we end up in disgrace?"

"Yes." Hepin said, "The secrets hidden by Zhang Guiren, Zhou Changzai, and Jiu Da Ying are so hidden that they are transparent to Ji Guiren."

She was shocked. "This feeling is really creepy, as if every inch of my heart has been seen clearly by her."

"How on earth does Lady Ji know so much?"

"I heard that she has a photographic memory. Perhaps that is why she knows everything." Someone speculated, with a hint of envy and jealousy in his tone.

"Does the Emperor know her abilities?"

"Of course she knows! Otherwise, how could she be promoted so quickly!"

A noble said angrily: "If I could have such ability, why would I worry about not being favored by the emperor? I don't need to express my feelings for the emperor in words."

Concubine Lin sneered and said sarcastically, "Don't worry about it. If the emperor hears your voice, you will be the first to lose your head."

"Mrs. Ji was able to be promoted to this position because of her own ability."

"But……"

The nobleman was still unwilling to give in and wanted to continue arguing.

The queen gently waved her hand and interrupted her: "If she is someone who only knows how to play tricks, then I will be the first one who will not let her off easily."

"Empress, as the mistress of the harem, how can you not think long-term for the Emperor? Concubine Ji's thoughts only have disadvantages and no advantages." said a maid.

"oh?"

Hearing this, the queen raised her eyebrows slightly and her eyes fell on this person, "I would like to hear the details."

"My lady, if Lady Ji's inner voice only reveals the concubines' secrets, then that's fine."

The person who was speaking was always confident, "But Madam, if one day she accidentally heard the secrets of the court and leaked them to other irrelevant people, wouldn't it be very detrimental to the government?"

"Yes, Queen, state affairs are urgent."

The queen stared at the concubines in front of her and asked word by word: "According to your opinions, how should this matter be handled?"

As he spoke, an invisible pressure spread out, making it hard to breathe.

Everyone looked at each other, not daring to speak easily.

At this time, a deep and firm voice sounded: "In order to protect the stability of the country and prevent the leakage of palace secrets, the only option is to... execute Concubine Ji."

The last five short words were filled with a bloody smell, like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves.

The queen narrowed her eyes immediately.

Instead of confinement or banishment to the cold palace, they actually wanted Concubine Ji to be executed?

And there are actually quite a few people who agree with such absurd remarks.

For these concubines, if Concubine Ji revealed their secrets, they would not be able to escape death!

Instead of waiting for death, it is better to give it a try.

Voices of agreement came one after another, and several concubines stood up, trying to push the matter to an irreversible situation.

Concubine Lin raised her eyelids and glanced at them with disdain.

She stroked her hair with her armor and said, "The emperor knew about Concubine Ji a long time ago. If he wanted to take Concubine Ji's life, why wait until today?"

"You guys are good at daydreaming."

"If I really have nothing to do..."

Concubine Lin stopped what she was doing, looked around, and said with a sweet smile, "Why don't you come to my Linhua Palace and sit for a while. Ever since Concubine Ji went to serve the Queen, I've been extremely bored. I just want to find a sister to talk to."

She put on an expectant expression and continued:

"You guys are like cowards on weekdays. I didn't know you had such eloquence. You are just right for entertaining me. Linhua Palace is spacious. I hope you..."

As Concubine Lin spoke, she pointed at each person with her jade finger, as if counting the number of people, "Don't leave any one behind."

The imperial concubine spoke softly, as if admonishing a group of naughty children, but it made people feel a chill in their hearts.

The concubines, who originally had faces full of determination and madness, seemed to be suddenly poured with a basin of cold water, which extinguished all the flames of madness.

Yes, the emperor had already known about Concubine Ji’s ability, but he did not order her death.

What does this indicate?

The emperor's attitude clearly shows that he wants to keep Concubine Ji!

And it seems that Concubine Lin is also determined to protect Concubine Ji.

Why is this? It is clear that Concubine Lin herself has done the most dirty things! How dare she? !

The concubines could only place their hopes on the queen, regarding her as their last sustenance and hope.

"Empress, please come forward and persuade the Emperor." A concubine pleaded in a low voice.

"Maybe Lady Ji has no ill intentions now, but who can guarantee that she won't have bad intentions in the future?"

"If that day really comes, it will be too late for everything, my lady!"

The concubines vied with each other to speak, hoping to gain the queen's approval.

Concubine Lin turned her face away.

Although there was no trace of a smile on her face, the queen clearly felt the mockery hidden beneath her calmness.

The imperial concubine was laughing at her weakness and incompetence.

She seemed to be saying: Look, this is the virtuous Liu Yingfei, who has the title of queen but is not feared by anyone.

The concubines are afraid of the emperor and me, yet they still dare to continue to persuade you to change your mind.

After all, their respect is just a superficial illusion.

The queen's ears were once again filled with the auditory hallucinations she had experienced during her illness. The sounds were like countless flies buzzing in her ears, making her feel upset.

At this moment, the queen's anger finally reached its peak.

There was a cold light flashing in her eyes, as if she wanted to burn everything around her.

The Queen said coldly, "Noble Lady Ji now lives with me in Kunning Palace. I can see everything she says and does clearly. There will be no problem."

A man who was always outspoken immediately said, "My queen, you are always so kind and generous, but what if..."

"Are you implying that I am too soft-hearted to properly discipline the people around me?" the queen asked, "or do you think I am too kind-hearted? No matter what you say, I will not blame you?"

Those who stood up and spoke were often dumbfounded.

Why would the queen speak to her in such a harsh tone?

"Your Majesty, I, that's not what I meant..." She defended herself in panic.

The Queen chuckled, "I don't care what you mean or what you mean. Since you said the wrong thing, you should be punished."

Whether it is for Concubine Ji or for herself.

This time, the queen will not be soft-hearted.

"Xiwen, slap your mouth."
