The atmosphere suddenly froze, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at Chi Rong and Lin Zhiya.
One concubine whispered, "Chi Rong is too shameless. I'm tired of saying this. She is just like my aunt when I was at home."
"Auntie still has a status, but Chi Rong has nothing... Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. How can we do it without finding someone? Can we be bullied by a eunuch?"
Chi Rong vaguely heard this and her face felt hot. She gritted her teeth in hatred and her face turned red.
Lin Zhiya finally had time to look at her and said bluntly, "What does it have to do with you? Stand aside and stop causing me trouble."
Chi Rong: "Wanpin, Ruiwu is just a lowly eunuch no matter what. If you find him, just beat him to death. Why are you in such a hurry to search everyone's room? It's so petty."
Zhao Chen stood far away, with an unhappy look on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Chi Rong took this as the emperor's indulgence of her, and said more boldly: "It's late at night, everyone should rest, is Yuan Cainu wrong in this matter? Yuan Cainu could have said it earlier and the atmosphere would have been fine, but she had to run to the yard and fall into the well. She is too angry."
After the guards searched the room, there was still no sign of Ruiwu. Lin Zhiya did not say anything and asked the guards to search along the palace wall again.
...
...
Chi Rong laughed angrily, "Empress Wan, why bother? You should go see Yuan Cainu. Yuan Cainu is the most important."
A slap landed on Chi Rong's face. Lin Zhiya stood in front of her condescendingly, with her raised hand already red.
Lin Zhiya: "I told you to stop disgusting me, but you didn't listen. Do you really think no one can cure you?"
Chi Rong's face tilted to one side, she covered her face and saw Zhao Chen's surprised look. Zhao Chen folded his hands behind his back. He was surprised that Lin Zhiya had attacked Chi Rong, but he had no intention of defending Chi Rong.
Chi Rong understood what was going on and tears suddenly fell from her eyes. Before she could react, Lin Zhiya slapped her again, causing the corner of her mouth to bleed.
Lin Zhiya: "Just pray that I can find Ruiwu. If I can't find her, you will be blamed. If you can't explain where Ruiwu is, what do you think I will do?"
Chi Rong was stunned, feeling a little scared under Lin Zhiya's shadow.
Her maid said, "Miss Chi, stop making trouble. Let's go. Concubine Wan is doing something important."
Chi Rong only realized now that no one agreed with her anymore, and what she said to stop Lin Zhiya was too stupid.
Chi Rong left, and after Lin Zhiya's search, the guards found Rui Wu curled up in the bushes an hour later.
Rui Wu was shaking with fear. Just as he was about to speak, his stomach started to growl. Rui Wu said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. My aunt used to serve you. She was your maid in the East Palace... Yuan Cainu, please forgive me. I must burn paper for you every year..."
Lin Zhiya took Ruiwu to Yuan Cainü's courtyard. Yuan Cainü was sleeping soundly, so Ruiwu was dragged to the place where the palace people gathered and beaten to death.
Rui Wu said, "That day I saw Miss Chi passing by. She said that if she had been around, there wouldn't be any concubines in the palace. I was bewitched by the devil, and when I saw Miss Chi's extraordinary demeanor, I thought she was really that powerful."
Rui Wu: "I regretted it as soon as I delivered the meal. I thought Yuan Cainu was under house arrest, but I didn't expect the furnishings in Yuan Cainu's room were so precious. Miss Chi said she was powerful, but she lives in a shabby place... and she has to rely on medicine to stay alive every day."
Rui Wu was dying: "I, I have already sent Yuan Cainu's meal to Miss Chi. I had no choice but to fool Yuan Cainu. Yuan Cainu wanted to argue with me, and I was so scared that I tried to stop her, and she fell down."
…
After beating Rui Wu with a stick, Lin Zhiya was very disappointed with Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen knew that Chi Rong was a disaster, but he still kept her in the palace.
All I can say is that I was blinded by beauty.
"Majesty value +20."
Lin Zhiya was surprised. After receiving the majesty value given by the system, the eunuchs and palace maids surrounding her retreated, and the two concubines looked at her with awe and admiration.
Lin Zhiya didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she didn't expect Chi Rong to become a stepping stone for her to increase her prestige.
The majesty value has exceeded the system's requirements. Lin Zhiya saw the queen's option light up. She knew that if she chose it, Zhao Chen would enthrone her as queen without any warning.
But this is not what Lin Zhiya wants at this moment.
Lin Zhiya shut down the system. She had lost all her patience and didn’t want to be Zhao Chen’s queen.
Not long after, Prime Minister Liu came to ask to see Lin Zhiya.
Prime Minister Liu had a sunny face, but his words were sharp: "Madam Wan, I think Miss Chi should move out of the palace."
Lin Zhiya: "Hey, you don't worship Buddha anymore?"
Prime Minister Liu coughed dryly, revealing the Buddhist beads in his hand. "I have been worshipping Buddha and attending to government affairs at the same time. Miss Chi's living in the palace has affected the reputation of the emperor and brought shame to our ancestors."
Lin Zhiya raised a question: "The Chi family feels ashamed, why don't they take the person back, and are still here to pay tribute to the emperor?"
Prime Minister Liu: "...I am talking about the shame of the late emperor, the shame of the Buddha, and the shame of the Chi family, so of course we are not ashamed."
Lin Zhiya: "Of course I do, but it's a pity that Chi Rong won't live for many days. Doctor Yu is treating her in the palace. If she goes back and dies at home, won't the Chi family blackmail me?"
Prime Minister Liu was stunned and looked at Lin Zhiya in shock. In his impression, Lin Zhiya was clearly selfless and should take risks for the emperor. Why did she get tripped up by a little Chi Rong?
Prime Minister Liu thought that the mortal world really did toughen people up, and when he thought about himself living in the mortal world, he felt even sadder.
Lin Zhiya gave him some advice: "Prime Minister Liu might as well go directly to the emperor and ask him to send Chi Rong away, or stir up public opinion and spread the news that the emperor is fascinated by Chi Rong, and the emperor might send her away."
Prime Minister Liu Lianlian shook his head: "Now that I have a peaceful mentality, I have long stopped doing such things. I'd better think of another way."
Prime Minister Liu also left. The method he thought of was to write four or five memorials at the speed of copying Buddhist scriptures and submit them to Zhao Chen together.
The content is nothing more than: Chi Rong has caused controversy in the palace, which is not the right way for our royal family to behave honestly. The emperor should find a reason to send Chi Rong away.
Although the imperial physicians in the palace are good, there are also miraculous doctors among the people. Chi Rong refuses to leave the palace and causes trouble to everyone.
Your Majesty, you must think carefully about who is beneficial to this country and who is just here to cause trouble. Our people are all watching you, Your Majesty.
Half an hour later, several memorials were piled up in Zhao Chen's study. Zhao Chen opened one and found it was from Prime Minister Liu, and then he opened another one and found it was also from Prime Minister Liu.
At this time, Lai Xi came over again, wiping his sweat and telling Zhao Chen, "Your Majesty, Miss Chi vomited blood again. Old Doctor Yu said that she will be gone for at most a month."
Zhao Chen raised his hand just as he was about to write, sneering: "Then let her stay for another month."
Zhao Chen suddenly asked, "What is Wanpin doing today? Why didn't she come to see me?"
Lai Xi was speechless, and said thoughtfully: "Madam Wanpin did not go out today. I think that Madam Wanpin must have had a quarrel with the emperor because of what happened yesterday, otherwise she should have come to the emperor long ago."
Zhao Chen nodded cautiously, looked up and said, "That makes sense." He felt a headache and looked down at Prime Minister Liu's five memorials. He didn't even feel like opening them.
