Huan Yue got up early in the morning.
A palace attendant rushed in to report: "Cao, a member of the Pei family, has died suddenly, and there's also a fire."
Huan Yue stood under the old ginkgo tree, looking at the slightly blue sky.
Cuizhu was shocked: "Why did they have to be so ruthless? Cao Shi was useless, wasn't she?"
Lady Ji was busy and frightened early in the morning: "Lady Li is afraid, but isn't this going too far for Lady Cao?"
Huan Yue said, "Let's report this to Lord Bao."
The eunuch understood and assured that Lord Bao would take care of the matter.
The Pei family was granted a residence by the emperor; to commit murder and arson is outrageous.
Huan Yue was dressed lightly, and the morning breeze was chilly. What did this have to do with Pei Huanxiu being taken away?
However, the fact that they've started selling their children means they've gone to a certain extreme.
The cat followed the empress, cautiously asking, "Why is it so scary?"
Yu Yan said from the side, "Could the Li family have some hidden cards up their sleeve?"
Huan Yue said, "Probably not. They're just taking advantage of the fact that she's about to die, so they'll do whatever they want."
Princess Yongmu was shocked to hear this news as she came out of Chenghua Palace!
So, as one's life goes on, anything can happen. The morning breeze made her feel much clearer.
Princess Yongmu felt that she should leave the East Palace and stop relying on its protection.
Actually, she has her father, the emperor. As long as she stands up for herself, what can others do to her?
She should have fought back when He Yuzhi dared to humiliate her, and even beaten the servants who didn't protect their master.
So what if it blows up? Why should she suffer if it's not her fault?
Like a blue moth, it can make a big fuss when it wants to, and it can also keep quiet when it wants to.
Huan Yue finished practicing the Eight Pieces of Brocade.
The eunuch rushed back to report: "After Consort Cui came out of Chang Le Gate, she was summoned back by imperial decree to Kunyu Palace to copy 'Rules for Women' and 'Admonitions for Women'."
Huan Yue asked, "Did you disobey the imperial decree?"
The eunuch remained silent, then said in a low voice, "Yes. But they were taken back."
Huan Yue nodded. That's right.
However, the emperor took her back, which shows she has completely fallen out of favor.
Did she think that decades of companionship and affection were enough for her to torment her for just as long? A decree of demotion was all it took.
Some favored concubines remained in favor their entire lives, while others fell out of favor—a common occurrence. Some even lacked children. Consort Cui, however, wanted everything.
Becoming a winner in life isn't so easy, so Huan Yue didn't want to.
Xie Zhou came to see his wife.
Huan Yue glanced at him, thinking, "He's quite free, isn't he?"
Xie Zhou hugged and kissed his wife, all because of her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have this much freedom.
She looked even better in this morning's outfit. Xie Zhou picked up his wife and carried her back to the inner palace.
Wu Ben followed leisurely behind. The sky hadn't fallen; the Pei family was certainly good at causing trouble.
Everyone was confused as to why they treated Cao Shi that way. Was it revenge for her killing Pei Su? Or was it to continue their previous plan to kill her?
Logically speaking, Cao was Li's daughter-in-law, so what deep-seated hatred could Li possibly have? It can only be said that Li was extremely vicious.
Xie Zhou said to his wife, "Father has issued an edict."
Huan Yue asked, "Is the Li family forcing the sage?"
Xie Zhou said, "Perhaps someone wants to test us."
Huan Yue found it boring: "Hasn't the Pei family committed enough sins?"
The reason we're not acknowledging Huan Yue's kinship now is because we feel it's unnecessary. We're giving the Pei family some face.
The Pei family is determined to ruin this little bit of face they have.
As for the Pei family's kindness in raising their child, after forcibly taking someone else's child, the question of any kindness in raising the child becomes irrelevant.
This debt of gratitude for being raised can be made very thin, which is exactly what the Pei family wants.
Xie Zhou said, "If we're going to acknowledge kinship, then we are. From now on, the Pei family will only have one bond, and no one else can get involved."
Huan Yue laughed and said, "The Qian family snatched someone and now they want to show some gratitude?"
Xie Zhou said, "She killed Cao Shi, that's enough."
Huan Yue nodded. The royal family has the final say in matters of the royal family.
The Pei family did something utterly inhumane.
Di Baose ran over and shouted, "Did the Pei family kill Cao Shi?"
Huan Yue saw Shi Qingzhu and said to her, "Shi Anren went to the Pei family and tricked Pei Huanxiu away."
Shi Qingzhu's face turned pale, and after hesitating for a long time, she finally managed to say, "Does he really want to sell someone?"
Huan Yue said, "There's more than one to sell, isn't there?"
Shi Qingzhu nodded. She then thought, "Shi Anren truly deserves to be the son-in-law of the Pei family."
The cat asked curiously, "Could it be that Shi Anren said something? But the Pei family wanted to kill Cao Shi a long time ago. But to set fire to her house is going too far."
Shi Qingzhu remained silent. Although Shi Anren's actions were not the same as hers, she still had to be careful.
Xie Zhou waited for his wife to finish eating, only to see Princess Huayang arrive.
Princess Huayang could still come and fight back.
Huan Yue rolled up his sleeves.
Princess Huayang's face turned pale with anger and indignation: "What were you doing at Prince Zheng's residence?"
Huan Yue said, "Given that you are not qualified to interfere, and Consort Cui is not qualified to interfere, it all falls on my shoulders, and I have no choice. I can't very well follow the Pei family's example and beat you to death right now. Demoting you to a commoner and banishing you from the capital should be a good solution."
Princess Huayang swayed unsteadily.
The lady-in-waiting quickly helped her up. She felt that Qing'e was really going too far!
Huan Yue looked at the female official and asked, "Weren't you like this when you were favored? Now the tables have turned, don't you recognize that?"
The lady-in-waiting wanted to say no! They wouldn't dare do that even when they were favored.
Huan Yue didn't care about her. Their statuses were completely different.
Princess Huayang had no choice but to shout, "Erlang, do you know what you're doing?"
Xie Zhou retorted, "Do you want to support a tyrant or a useless person? If you support a useless person, why would you continue to control him? What do you want to do by controlling the King of Zheng? The King of Zheng used to respect you, not because he was afraid of you, but now that he has lost that respect, you don't need to think too much about it."
Princess Huayang shouted, "What trash? They're just a few beauties!"
Huan Yue declared, "Send the beauties from Prince Zheng's residence to the prince consort."
