Chapter 281: Borrow the Power of Whoever is Strong
Xu Miaoyin returned to Yonghe Palace, sat down and rubbed her eyebrows. Bihe hurriedly walked behind her and helped her rub the swollen temples.
She closed her eyes and let out a long sigh.
The palace maid Chun'er brought a cup of hot tea and said, "Your Majesty has not had a good rest at the Grand Altar these past few days and is exhausted."
Bi He rubbed her temples while saying, "The harem is also giving Your Majesty no peace of mind. A while ago, something belonging to Consort Xia was lost, and now there's an epidemic."
Chun Er smiled and said, "If I were to ask you, it's the court ladies who are making Her Majesty worry."
“…”
"Last time, it was her with the coral bead bracelet incident, and this time, it's her again."
Bihe said with a smile: "But speaking of it, I kind of like her."
Chun Er smiled and said, "I think she's smart too."
Xu Miaoyin picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The warm tea made her feel a little better. She slowly put down the teacup and said, "Are there few smart people in this palace?"
“…”
"What's rare is that you need to be smart and know when to advance and when to retreat."
Chun'er placed the hand warmer in her arms again and whispered, "I felt strange just now too. It's obvious that Concubine Du has been taking advantage of these days to embarrass her in the palace, but Si Nanyan didn't care."
"Some things should be taken into account, and some things should not be taken into account."
Xu Miaoyin said calmly, "She was just a slave. Concubine Du's bullying of her was a scandal for the harem. But if this matter outweighs the epidemic, and the emperor punishes Concubine Du, the scandal will inevitably be exposed."
“…”
"Besides, the Emperor just promoted Concubine Jieyu's brother. If a scandal breaks out at this time, it will not look good on the former dynasty."
“…”
"She suppressed the matter, not embarrassing the emperor, but also saving face for the harem."
Chun'er and Bihe looked at each other and nodded in sudden realization.
Xu Miaoyin lowered her head and gently stroked the hand warmer in her hand. The corner of her red lips curled up slightly and she said, "I'm almost falling in love with this girl."

After listening to Nan Yan's words, Ran Xiaoyu thought for a long time before saying, "That's why you don't bother with that person."
Nan Yan said, "It's too much to calculate."
“…”
"It's just a small matter. The Emperor and the Empress can't possibly depose her. She's just been punished a little. I'm afraid she'll take even more crazy revenge on us in the future."
Ran Xiaoyu said: "But I think that even if you said so, she might not appreciate it."
Nan Yan thought about it and said, "I think so too."
“…”
"But at least I managed to please the Queen."
“…”
"The Queen asked about that little thing just to give her a way out, and I gave it to her."
“…”
"I used to be bullied at home. Even though I thought of many ways to deal with it, it was useless. I was still bullied. Later I realized that it was because there was no one at home who could make decisions for me."
“…”
"If a person is in a weak position and has no one to make the decision, then no matter how smart they are or what methods they come up with, they will never be able to suppress the strong person out of thin air."
“…”
"We have to take advantage of the situation!"
“…”
"Now, although we are both in a weak position, it would be much easier if we could get someone to take charge."
"So, we have to borrow the power of the Queen."
Nan Yan said: "Whoever is stronger, I will borrow his power."
“…”
"Last time, Aunt Tongyun did just that. She sent Concubine Du away with just a few words."
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her for a while and said, "I told you that you are cunning and crafty."
Nan Yan pulled the corners of her eyes and made a face: "Yes, don't you know that I am a thousand-year-old fox spirit?"
