No sooner had Li Wanyue returned to the Jiaofang Palace than the imperial edict arrived.
Upon hearing the contents of the imperial edict, Li Wanyue was nothing but angry, but she had no choice but to move it.
Upon hearing the imperial decree, Hongmu almost thought he was about to be freed. If Li Wanyue continued to cause trouble, he might not have to serve her anymore.
Li Wanyue looked at everything in the hall. She had finally found it somewhat pleasing to the eye, but now she had to move everything again.
"Redwood, have someone move all these things to the Flowing Cloud Palace."
Without a second thought, Hongmu said, "Your Majesty, these are the regulations for Jiaofang Palace. It's not appropriate to move them to Liuyun Palace. When we leave the palace, there will be special personnel to check them. Moreover, I heard that a concubine died inexplicably in Liuyun Palace before, and it seems to be haunted at night. What should we do, Your Majesty?"
Li Wanyue, however, said dismissively, "I don't believe in ghosts. Even if they do, the ghosts in this world might not be as wicked as people. Look at what I do; I do it openly. Some people only dare to do things underhandedly."
Hongmu was somewhat impressed by Li Wanyue's words. She hadn't expected Li Wanyue to be so knowledgeable, but she wondered why Li Wanyue was so unreliable. Shouldn't she have thought things through before going from a concubine to a noble lady?
And that last sentence sounds like it's about herself. No, Li Wanyue wouldn't be so smart as to guess that it was her who sent the message.
Hongmu tentatively asked, "Why do you say that, Your Majesty?"
Li Wanyue sat in the chair, twisting a handkerchief in her hand, as if she were treating the handkerchief as some kind of person.
"Hmph, even when I threatened the imperial physician, he knew who the imperial physician listened to the most in this palace. That's who was digging a pit for me. Moreover, our Emperor also believes that person's words are the most credible, no one can compare."
Wow, aren't you quite clever? Why not just live a peaceful life? Why do you have to cause trouble and ruin your life like this? Can't you learn from Consort Qing, who was content with what she had and let us servants enjoy some happiness too? We've been with you for so many years, moving once a year is a regular occurrence, sometimes even more.
But how could they know what Li Wanyue was thinking? Li Wanyue simply hoped that by making some trouble, she could make His Majesty aware of her existence and pay more attention to her son, and that she could help him—that would be enough for her. But things rarely go as planned, and things never quite turn out as she hoped.
"Alright, tell the palace servants to start moving it. It's fine to move it anywhere; at least we'll have some peace and quiet."
As for who has more peace and quiet, it's obvious to anyone with eyes to see.
"Your Highness, shall we move there as is? Should we send a message to the Third Prince?"
Li Wanyue shook her head: "He doesn't need to know yet. He's been bothering me these past few days because of the princess. Let's talk about it in a few days."
Hongmu nodded. "If it were me, I'd be annoyed too. You're a concubine, why don't you just stay in the palace and instead cause trouble? Your mother is making a fuss, and the prince's wife will definitely be making a fuss too. The Third Prince is really troublesome."
The fact that Li Wanyue moved palaces again not only alarmed the people in other palaces, but also alarmed Rong Qi, who originally wanted to deal with Li Wanyue.
Rong Qi knew about the Liuyun Palace incident, which was perfect timing. Rong Qi had been wanting to have someone pretend to be a ghost to scare her anyway; he had previously been worried that pretending to be a ghost in the Jiaofang Palace would implicate people from other palaces. Now, the Liuyun Palace was not only located at the far west end of the palace but also in the most secluded corner, so there was no fear of frightening others.
Rong Qi could easily summon Hong Wu from the Underworld Pavilion. Hong Wu was known for her stunning beauty, and with a little makeup, she would surely terrify Rong Qi. Moreover, Hong Wu's cultivation level shouldn't be a problem in the palace. Besides, there were other people with her.
Upon hearing that Rong Qi was about to do something bad, Feng Qinghuang immediately became interested.
Feng Qinghuang said coquettishly, "Aqi, I want to go with you too, I want to see the excitement."
Rong Qi didn't tell Jiao Jiao about Li Wan Yue's coveting of her, otherwise that little rascal would definitely cause even more trouble. Oh well, it's good to let her go and watch the show, and it's also a way to avenge her.
"Okay, but you can only stay in front of me and can't run around, or you'll be mistaken for an assassin."
When Feng Qinghuang heard Rong Qi agree to take her, she quickly nodded: "Don't worry, Aqi, I'll be very good."
If I can take her to see the excitement, then I'll be happy if she behaves well.
Rong Qi smiled and pinched her cheek: "If only you could always be this obedient."
Feng Qinghuang tilted her head and looked at him: "What, does Aqi think I'm not well-behaved usually?"
"good."
Feng Qinghuang persisted, pouting as she asked, "Then what did Aqi mean by what he just said?"
Rong Qi was somewhat helpless when asked. He had just said something unintentionally, but he didn't expect Jiao Jiao to keep asking him.
"What I mean is, Jiaojiao should always be obedient, especially when kissing you."
Upon hearing Rong Qi's shameless words, Feng Qinghuang blushed and glared at him coquettishly, saying, "Aqi is so annoying."
Rong Qi smiled gently, looking at Jiao Jiao with doting eyes: "Yes, good girl, it's time for us to get down to business."
After Rong Qi finished speaking, he picked up Feng Qinghuang, leaped onto the roof, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Hongwu and Rongyi exchanged a glance, sighed at the same time, and went after their master.
