"Ah!" Qi screamed in agony.
"Pfft..." Yu Zhu spat out a mouthful of blood, looking utterly miserable.
Others wondered, was it really necessary to put on such a show?
"Your Highness..." Yuzhu wanted to speak to His Highness.
"This is the Eastern Palace, not the Pei residence!" Xie Zhou, unable to contain his imperial authority after more than a decade as emperor, ordered, "Drag him away!"
The others were frightened and quickly dragged all the people from the Pei family away.
Although the Crown Princess has left, the Pei family's dowry no longer serves her, so what use is she? Let's send her back to Qing'e Palace for the Crown Princess to deal with.
Several women who wanted to propose to the Crown Prince about becoming his consort were intimidated by his imposing presence.
It seems the Crown Prince is furious; it's all because the Empress has gone too far, though most people wouldn't dare to speak out.
But any of the women the Crown Prince chooses as his consort would be better than those from the Pei family.
The situation at the Crown Prince's palace is far from optimistic. The Pei family's overjoyed reaction is truly shameful.
Xie Zhou thought of the Pei family and wished he could exterminate their entire clan!
He disliked Pei and took his anger out on her!
Who says the Pei family is innocent? Wasn't she just a pawn sent by the Pei family? Anyone from the Pei family deserves to die!

Huan Yue left Guangtian Hall, passed Qing'e Gate behind it, and then directly behind it was Qing'e Palace.
The Qing'e Palace was decorated with red lanterns, creating a festive atmosphere.
Upon entering, one is directly opposite the main hall of Qing'e Palace, which spans seven bays and exudes an imposing and solemn aura.
The Chengen Hall behind it is the sleeping quarters, and there is a rear hall further behind that.
It was so late, Huan Yue had no intention of wandering around. He went straight into his bedchamber to rest.
The palace maids and eunuchs waiting in Qing'e Palace were completely dumbfounded! The worst part was that the mess hadn't been cleaned up yet!
Although the Crown Princess did not have a ten-mile-long red bridal procession, she still had 128 palanquins, which would take a long time to prepare.
A female official from the Guangtian Palace followed and greeted, "Don't bother, attend to the master's rest."
The Pei family's dowry maids were in a flurry of activity, with one asking, "Where's Mama Qi?"
Huan Yue was too tired to deal with it, so he casually said, "She's so spoiled. You'll have to take care of her from now on."
It was chaotic, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
A young eunuch rushed over and called to the Crown Princess, "Your Highness, Qi Shi and the others have arrived. How should we settle them?"
Huan Yue casually said, "They'll just go wherever they've assigned us. If they're so pampered, they'll take good care of them and won't have to work anymore."
Although Lady Qi was crippled and had lost her position as a palace maid, the palace was not short of people to manage affairs.
Or perhaps everyone is capable, and it's better for Qi to rest, giving others a chance to shine.
There is no rule that someone must be part of the dowry.
Or perhaps it's because Huan Yue has just entered the palace and someone is watching over him, so things won't get chaotic for a while.
The officials discussed it and got the matter settled.
Qi no longer needs to be sent to the Crown Princess.
Huan Yue simply went into the inner palace to wash up and go to bed.
The palace ladies, maids, and generals who originally served the Crown Princess all occupied the space.
The dowry members from the Pei family, unaware of the situation of Qi's mother and Yuzhu, gathered together at the back.
The five rooms in the eastern corner of the rear hall of Qing'e Palace were allocated to the Crown Princess as part of her dowry.
It wasn't tidied up properly to begin with, and now it's a complete mess.
The eunuchs dragged them over without any courtesy. Perhaps they'll treat the Crown Princess the same way from now on, let alone servants?
These servants are really something else, not even wholeheartedly assisting the Crown Princess. No wonder the Pei family has fallen into such a state.
This has truly implicated the Crown Prince.
Although some of them were not truly interested in the Crown Prince, the Pei family's tendency to hold them back was still despicable.
Moreover, those who are too stupid not only implicate their masters but can also cause the deaths of many others.
Fools are always repulsive. Everyone's gone.
The night wind blew the red lanterns, and the screams of several women inside the house sounded like ghosts. The spring night was cold, eerily cold.
In the east room, Yuzhu lay on the bed, feeling extremely cold, as if she were about to die. She was still in the prime of her life, a great beauty. She coughed up another mouthful of blood and cried out, "Didn't anyone go to fetch the imperial physician?"
Cuizhu, also in her early twenties, was a very honest maid. After helping Yuzhu tidy up, she patiently advised, "How can we invite her now? We are just servants. Besides, it wouldn't be good for our mistress if word got out."
Yu Zhu stared at her coldly!
Cuizhu stepped aside to avoid being hurt, and spoke firmly: "Once we enter the palace, Her Majesty is our master. If Her Majesty is not well, no one else will be well."
The maids, whose minds were in turmoil, immediately understood.
They didn't know what the Pei family or Yuzhu were up to, but was it a case of a servant bullying his master? Or was the Pei family manipulating the Crown Princess? Did the Pei family really have that much power? Who didn't know the Pei family's situation?
No matter how capable the Pei family is, once they enter the palace, they must listen to the Crown Princess.
Another injured maid angrily retorted, "Don't you even think about your family?"
Cui Zhu spoke with unwavering force: "Will your family be able to take care of you in the future? In this place, you often don't even know how you died."
A gust of wind blew outside.
The owl cries.
In the west room, Qi was pounding the bed.
Ji was younger than Qi, and hadn't gotten anything, not to mention being a maid or anything else, but they were both from the Pei family, so I had to advise her: "Keep your voice down, it's not good if someone hears you."
The young lady is marrying into the Eastern Palace, so the dowry has very little status.
Although there are houses here and the people live close to their masters, how many eyes are watching and how many ears are listening?
Even with a curfew, someone is guaranteed to hear about it.
Qi was truly badly injured. Huan Yue was someone she had suppressed since childhood, how dare he? She gritted her teeth: "You little bitch."
Ji said in a low voice, "I will never curse again."
She didn't dare utter the word "curse" because the Crown Prince's name was Xie Zhou.
Although the taboo surrounding the Crown Prince's name is not widespread, within the Eastern Palace, curses are absolutely forbidden, and the phrase "universe and primordial chaos" cannot be uttered, nor can wrinkles be mentioned.
The Crown Princess's name is Huan Yue, and she will probably no longer be able to play music.
Although the characters 奏 and 籀 in 奏章 are different.
