"You mean, that bitch has fallen out of favor?" There was a look of surprise in Rongpin's eyes, like a dull gem that suddenly glowed.
Tang Wan had been out of favor for more than half a month. Rongpin just learned the news because she went home to visit her relatives. When she heard the news, she was so happy that she almost jumped for joy.
Rongpin was casually playing with a beautiful coral bracelet. The coral bracelet was red enough to look like blood, and its surface was crystal clear. It was obviously a good thing at first glance.
"Yes, my lady." A smile appeared on Zhao Hai's handsome face.
Rongpin's smile was charming and domineering. "I knew this bitch wouldn't last long. Just wait. I'll settle all the old scores with her one by one."
Doesn't she like people to greet her? Then she'll let that bitch greet her to her heart's content!
As she thought about this, the smile on her face grew bigger and bigger.
"Zhao Hai, are you sure that His Majesty really dislikes her?"
There was still some surprise and doubt in her beautiful eyes. After all, she had been slapped in the face last time and was even disliked by His Majesty.
What if she hadn't fallen out of favor, and she went to punish him, and His Majesty punished her? Wouldn't she be in a difficult position then?
"No, Your Majesty, I have heard everything clearly. That Tang concubine has truly been disliked by His Majesty. Not only has her rank been demoted two levels, but her title has also been stripped away. Perhaps, she is hiding in the palace crying secretly right now."
Caizhi answered, but her tone sounded full of gloating. This was the worst case scenario of a villain succeeding.
Rongpin raised her chin, the arrogance on her face unable to be concealed, like a peacock spreading its tail: "I said, what good can a vixen like you get by using your sex appeal to seduce others?"
She spoke in a high-sounding manner, completely forgetting what she had said originally.
"I want to see what kind of trouble she can stir up now that she has lost His Majesty's favor and has no good family background!"
She held on to the coral bracelet tightly, but the thin silk thread could not withstand such force and broke apart, scattering all over the floor.
The dripping sound makes the listeners feel particularly irritated.
"Your Majesty, your chance has come. This time, Concubine Tang will no longer be able to stir up any more trouble."
Rongpin sneered, "Pass on my order. I'm in a good mood today. All the palace servants in Qingyi Palace, from top to bottom, will receive last month's monthly allowance."
Caizhi was the first to react: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Get up."
"Yes." Caizhi stood up from the ground, her face full of smiles that she couldn't hide.
Concubine Tang, oh Concubine Tang, just rot in the mud for the rest of your life, so that His Majesty will never think of you again.

No one disturbed her, so Tang Wan was happy to have some free time. She brewed a few jars of wine and buried them in the soil.
There was some dirt on her face and hands, but she didn't care.
This frankness moved Shen Xiaohan outside the door.
He hadn't seen her for half a month. She seemed to have lost some weight, and now her back looked even thinner.
It's frightening to watch.
He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He was too arbitrary and heartless that day.
She must have been hurt by him, otherwise, why didn't she come to him if he hadn't restrained her?
He touched his chest, and a voice from there told him: "If you miss her, just say some nice words to coax her back, don't have a sullen face."
But you are not joking. If he had restored her position now, wouldn't it be a joke?
He stood at the door with a rather conflicted look on his face, his brows knitted tightly together, and his lips almost scratched raw.
"His Majesty?"
Tang Wan, who was squatting on the ground, tilted her head and blinked at him.
In an instant, he felt as if his heart was hit by something, and it softened in an instant.
But his face was still cold: "Well, what's the matter?"
Tang Wan said something shocking: "I see you've been standing there for quite some time. If you want, you can join me."
Shen Xiaohan almost lost his composure, still keeping a straight face, but his ears were red: "No need, just play by yourself slowly."
"Oh, all right then."
Oh? Just one? Why didn't she give me some more advice?
He went back angrily.
Tang Wan: A man’s heart is as deep as the sea.
You say no, but you want it in your heart. It is really hard to tell whether you want it or not. You say one thing and mean another.
She buried the last jar of wine and brushed off the remaining dirt on her hands, completely unaware that danger was quietly approaching.
…………
"Have you finished everything you asked me to do?"
"Don't worry, my lady. This time, I will definitely make sure she never gets over it."
"Well, Zhao Hai, you are worthy of being a good sword in my hand." Rongpin burned the letter paper, her eyes indifferent.
Tang Wan, oh Tang Wan, don’t even think about escaping this time. I will make sure you can’t turn over.
…………
"Your Majesty, I have heard that all the ladies have been very ill these past few days."
Shen Xiaohan put down the scroll in his hand and rubbed his eyebrows helplessly: "What's going on?"
Heng An knelt on the ground and answered respectfully, "It seems like I'm possessed by some evil spirit. After all, the imperial physician couldn't explain it, so it can only be an evil spirit."
"What nonsense! There is no evil in this world. Do you take me for a fool?" Shen Xiaohan frowned tightly, obviously not believing this excuse at all.
Hengan felt sad, but he didn't say it.
To be honest, it's totally a thankless task for him to say this. If it weren't for Your Majesty's harem, he wouldn't have bothered to come.
He wanted to cry but couldn't. "Your Majesty, I dare not lie to you. The ladies have been suffering from nightmares every day. They are incessant and they have headaches during the day. The tranquilizers prescribed to them are of no use. This has been going on for several days."
After hearing this, Shen Xiaohan finally put down his pen and took it seriously.
"Tell me about it in detail."
Half a minute later, Heng'an swallowed his saliva, his throat was dry and uncomfortable.
"I didn't know there was such a genius in the harem, who could murder concubines without anyone noticing."
"Bang." The porcelain was smashed to the ground, shattering in an instant: "Do you think I'm just a decoration?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty."
Hengan has a lot of grievances. Who did he offend?
Why is he always the one who gets hurt?
Woo woo woo!
"A thorough investigation is necessary. I will take a day off today and catch the culprit today."
If you dare to do this to the concubine today, you will dare to do it to him tomorrow.
How could he not be angry?
"Heng'an, go and gather all the concubines and maids from the palace to search the palace."
After a while, he paused and said, "Please focus on searching Concubine Tang's palace."
It's not that he doesn't trust her, but she is the only one in the entire harem who has not suffered this ordeal.
If we don't focus on the search, it will be difficult to stop the gossip.
