Xue Wanyi was fanning the flames.
"Sister Dun, she tricked us last time and fined us severely. This time, you must get it back with interest!"
Dun Guiyuan rolled her eyes. "Sister Xue, come back with me to Guanju Palace. Let's take the palace servants and pull out the pepper trees in her yard!"
Xue Wanyi heard this and said, "Ouch, why does my stomach hurt?"
"Sister Dun, I'm sorry, I'm going to go to the bathroom and I'll be there soon. You go ahead and do it first."
Dun Guiyuan cursed, "Coward! How can you survive in the palace with such little courage?"
Concubine Jia placed the flowers she had picked in her hand and said proudly:
"Sister Dun, if you can bully that little bitch until she cries, I will reward you with a collection of golden peonies, gemstones, and pearls."
She was wearing exactly what the palace maid Hongye said:
"This is a gift from the Queen Mother to our Majesty. It is so precious!"
The ruby is bright red and sparkles brightly in the sun.
Dun Guiyuan fell in love with this pearl flower design at first sight, and the concubines beside her encouraged her.
"Sister Dun, your father is a highly sought-after general guarding the country. How many times has the emperor visited Guanju Palace and stayed in a side hall? I really envy you. If you move up one level, you will become Zhaoyi, and the next level is Consort!"
Yes, when the emperor came, she knelt in the flower hall all night long.
Dun Guiyuan said with a face-saving attitude, "Don't worry, I will definitely live up to the trust placed in me by my sisters and will definitely take good care of the young widow."
Back in the side hall of Guanju Palace, the maid asked, "Master, are we really going to cause trouble in the main hall?"
"Go!"
"But the emperor punishes you every time."
Dun Guiyuan planned the situation and said:
"This time, let's be smart. Aren't those concubines all trying to deal with this little hoof? Let's do it in a way that makes it impossible for them to recognize who we are!"
At noon, Dun Guiyuan, wearing a veil, led six palace maids, all wearing masks.
"Master, you are so clever! This way, Concubine Chen won't recognize that we are the ones who are doing evil!"
"What do you mean by evil? Let's talk about justice. We are eliminating evil and promoting good!"
"Yes, we are on the side of justice."
He secretly pushed open the main hall door and sneaked into the courtyard.
Dun Guiyuan moved her finger, and the six palace maids dispersed to both sides.
The gardens on both sides are planted with tuberoses, peonies, agarwood trees, and the outermost ones are pepper trees.
They rushed to the pepper tree and started to pull out the flowers. Not satisfied with pulling out the pepper tree, they did not dare to pull out the agarwood tree, so they trampled the tuberose and peony flowers to pieces.
Shanhu came out of the side room and shouted in surprise, "This is terrible! Bandits are coming!"
“Run!”
At a command, Dun Guiyuan took six palace maids and ran out as if escaping for her life.
According to their strategy, they did not run into the side hall, but ran around the palace wall to another place, taking off their masks as they ran.
Xiao Zhuozi, Meixiang and others chased out with brooms, but the man was gone.
"Did you see clearly who is coming?"
Shanhu and Xiao Zhuozi shook their heads, their faces were covered!
Hua Xia asked, "Is it Miss Dun from the Side Palace?"
"They didn't go into the side hall."
"If it's not them? Then who is it?"
Hua Xia glanced at the flower garden, which was a mess, and ran into the hall.
"My Lady, wake up quickly, we've been robbed."
Sheng Xiyan lay on the mutton-fat jade mat and said lazily, "What? I'm so sleepy."
Hua Xia covered her with a silk quilt, and felt her legs were burning, so she quickly touched her forehead.
"It's terrible! The Queen has a fever!"
Meixiang and several palace maids all ran in.
"What should we do? I'll go to the Imperial Hospital!"
Hua Xia nodded, and Xiao Zhuozi ran out of the hall.
Meixiang quickly brought in a basin of water, soaked the handkerchief in it, and Huaxia applied it to her forehead.
"Your Majesty must have fallen ill from exhaustion after taking care of the Emperor last night."
"My lady, do you have a headache?"
Sheng Xiyan felt dizzy and said, "It hurts... Ask the imperial physician to prescribe a cooling medicine..."
Fell asleep in a daze.
Hua Xia glanced at the sky, it was getting dark.
"No, I have to go tell the Emperor that the Empress is not feeling well."
Zi Ling volunteered, "Sister Hua Xia, I'll go talk to her."
Because she was sent by Empress Duan, Hua Xia was worried and said, "Zi Ling, you stay and help, Mei Xiang, you go to the Yangxin Palace."
Meixiang understood and ran out of the palace.
Zi Ling and Shan Hu came in with a kettle and a plate of ice cubes.
"Sister Hua Xia, let the queen drink some water and then wrap an ice cube in a handkerchief and apply it to her forehead."
Jiang Jiang ran in, climbed onto the bed, and pulled Sheng Xiyan, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Sheng Xiyan felt cold all over, huddled up in a ball, and uttered a "hmm" in a daze.
Hua Xia comforted, "Young Master, the Queen is fine, don't worry."
He turned over to the inner side of the golden nanmu bed and touched Sheng Xiyan's neck and hands.
"Mother seems to be boiling eggs. They are so hot."
In the Yangxin Palace, Xuan Ling was having dinner at this time.
The eunuch who served the food carefully introduced it.
"Your Majesty, today's dishes are a bit light. I followed Doctor Lan's suggestion and made a heat-clearing radish, water chestnut and pork rib soup."
Eunuch Fu and Lanxi bowed and stood by to serve.
The palace maid came in from outside the hall, looking embarrassed.
Eunuch Fu went out to greet him, "What's wrong?"
Meixiang said, "Eunuch Fu, my wife has a fever. Please report this to the Emperor."
When Eunuch Fu heard that the Emperor was fine, Concubine Zhaoyi had a fever again.
He said in embarrassment: "The emperor hasn't fully recovered yet. How about letting the imperial physician check on the queen first?"
Meixiang knelt down and said, "Eunuch Fu, the queen is not just suffering from a low-grade fever. The entire Guanju Palace is in chaos. Please, please."
Eunuch Fu helped her up and said, "Hurry up and let me tell you that Empress Zhaoyi is usually very kind to me, but I can't bear it."
