Qiushi was actually brought into the palace by Xu Lingyi specially. She also wanted to use Qiushi to see who in the palace wanted to deal with her.
She will not show mercy to those who want to deal with her.
She knew Qiushi was not an honest person, and she also knew that she was determined to squeeze her out as her master.
In the eyes of others, Qiushi is his personal maid and is deeply trusted by him.
Those who wanted to harm her must have thought they were foolproof...
As for Qiushi, Xu Lingyi has a golden finger and is basically immune to these plots, so she is not afraid of Qiushi.
She also knew that she could easily crush Qiushi to death.
So for Qiushi, who is not to be feared, she must certainly make use of her final value.
She would first let Qiushi's confidence swell, and then when she was in high spirits, she would make her fall to the bottom in an instant and lose hope.
After all, how could the easy and simple death of the person who had hurt her in her previous life satisfy her?
She wanted to make her die in pain to relieve the hatred in her heart.

Many people in the palace gritted their teeth that night.
The Imperial Concubine is now in charge of palace affairs, but she is not the Empress after all, so the concubines only need to pay their respects on the first and fifteenth days of each month.
The Queen Mother was in poor health and did not like to be disturbed.
It was difficult for the concubines to see the empress dowager.
Xu Lingyi had just entered the palace, and the next day was exactly the middle of the month.
Everyone had to go to the Imperial Concubine's Palace on this day. In the past, the imperial concubines did not come early, and some were even late.
But today many people have been waiting in the Imperial Concubine's Palace early. They want to see what kind of seductive look this girl from the Xu family has and how she can seduce the Emperor.
Xu Lingyi didn't come early, but she didn't come particularly late either.
When she entered the hall, everyone's eyes were focused on her and many people were shocked.
The last batch of women selected from the folk audition were all relatively young, and some even made sounds and gasped in amazement.
"Empress Defei is so beautiful."
Someone couldn't help but speak in a low voice.
This also broke the silence in the hall, and everyone quickly looked away.
Some people felt a sense of crisis suddenly surge in their hearts.
Xu Lingyi looks like this, no wonder the emperor likes her. If they were men, they might also...
With Xu Lingyi in the palace, how can they survive?
They have no princes or princesses to rely on, and the only one they can rely on in this palace is His Majesty.
But if I lose even the favor of His Majesty, then there will be no hope at all. At that time, I will really be at the mercy of others.
This palace is a place where people are eaten alive. Every year, unfavored concubines die, mostly from illness.
But are they all so weak? How did they get selected then?
Everyone knew all this in their hearts. The imperial concubine was far from being as kind as she appeared.
But for such a vicious woman like her, giving birth to a princess was like having a golden ticket to immunity from death.
The Queen Mother was in poor health and never interfered in palace affairs.
Your Majesty comes to the harem only to meet his needs. Your Majesty pays more attention to the grand plans and great achievements of the court, and the harem is just a diversion for him.
The emperor is busy with all kinds of affairs. How could he notice some concubines who displease him and are forgotten by him?
Even if he really noticed it, would His Majesty really care?
She was dead, but she was investigated for the sake of some unfavored and low-status concubines.
"I never knew my sister looked like this. When I saw her for the first time, I couldn't take my eyes off her."
The imperial concubine had a smile on her face and looked very friendly.
When the imperial concubine looked at her, Xu Lingyi was also observing the imperial concubine.
She looked to be about thirty years old, with fair skin and average looks, but she looked very kind, not at all aggressive, and very approachable.
"Your Majesty, your compliment is too great."
"You have just entered the palace. If there is anything you are not used to, or if you need anything, just send someone to tell me."
The imperial concubine acted very friendly, "Once you enter the palace, you are all sisters."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
While they were talking, someone in the hall kept coughing. Xu Lingyi could feel it and she kept covering her mouth, trying to suppress the coughs, but it seemed to have no effect.
Some people are dissatisfied.
"Why is Wangpin sick again? If you were sick, you should have stayed in your own palace instead of running to the Imperial Concubine's palace. Are you deliberately trying to infect us?"
The woman who was speaking was good-looking and had a very charming and gentle voice, but her words seemed a bit harsh.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty." The concubine Wang had just opened her mouth to say one word when she started coughing violently again.
Many people in the hall held handkerchiefs and covered their mouths and noses, fearing to get too close to the princess.
"I'll call the imperial physician to see you. If you're ill, just rest well. You won't need to come to see me in the future."
Wangpin nodded in thanks, "Thank you, Your Majesty. The imperial physician seems helpless to cure my condition. I've taken a lot of medicine, but my condition hasn't improved at all. I'm afraid I'm going to die."
As the princess spoke, she began to sob quietly in the palace.
The imperial concubine was about to speak when the emperor stepped into her palace the next second.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say. Someone wants to harm me."
The imperial concubine's brows jumped.
Xu Lingyi also pricked up her ears.
It's only the second day since she entered the palace, and it's already so lively?
