Jiang Li's heart trembled.

Xiaobai, who was hiding behind a pear tree to catch butterflies, showed his head.

"Meow~" Are you looking for me? Song Chengyin ignored it, and his heart was all on Jiang Li.

The ignored Xiaobai hid himself behind a pear tree that was so big that it took three people to hug it, and stopped making trouble for himself.

"Why is your majesty here?"

The palace maid had just brought Xiaobai to her. Logically, His Majesty should be in the study handling official business at this time.

Song Chengyin rested his chin on Jiang Li's head and said slowly, "My thoughts of you are like the full moon, which loses its brightness every night."

Facing Song Chengyin's straight ball, Jiang Li curled the corners of her mouth. This time she did not struggle from Song Chengyin's arms, but let him hold her, feeling his warm breath spraying from the top of her head.

"Did your majesty order Eunuch Zhang's matter?"

Thinking of what Eunuch Fu said, Jiang Li suddenly asked.

When Song Chengyin mentioned Eunuch Zhang, his eyes darkened: "I won't allow anyone to hurt you."

Ever since his mother passed away, Song Chengyin's heart had no room for anyone other than the country, until Jiang Li appeared beside him, and he had someone he wanted to protect.

Eunuch Zhang's action of pushing Jiang Li into the water had obviously touched his reverse scale.

Song Chengyin didn't even give Eunuch Zhang a chance to explain himself before he had his head chopped off. As for why Eunuch Fu was still alive, it was naturally because he deliberately spared the life of that mean slave.

Song Chengyin knew very well that taking revenge through someone else was far less satisfying than doing it himself, so he deliberately spared Eunuch Fu's life and let Jiang Li deal with him personally.

Jiang Li understood Song Chengyin's intention after a little thought, and felt relieved. Song Chengyin didn't like her being polite to him, so Jiang Li kept the words of thanks in her heart and didn't say them out loud.

The two stood hugging each other under the pear tree, watching Xiaobai running around chasing butterflies in front of them.

The breeze was blowing gently, the years were peaceful, and the snow-white pear blossoms fell on their heads, turning their hair white in an instant.

Song Chengyin followed Jiang Li around and was very affectionate. He ignored his government affairs and insisted on staying until noon to have lunch with her. He even wanted to take a nap with her, but was ruthlessly driven away by Jiang Li.

"If your majesty doesn't leave now, I will be labeled as a scoundrel who brings disaster to the country."

Jiang Li pushed Song Chengyin out of the palace and personally escorted him out of Jinhua Palace.

Song Chengyin let her push him out of Jinhua Palace step by step. When he reached the door, he stopped and turned to look at Jiang Li: "A Li, actually I can..."

"Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off."

Jiang Li bowed to him, interrupting him as he was about to deal with memorials in Jinhua Palace.

"Since Ah Li wants to send me away, you should at least give me some sweet treats, right?"

As Song Chengyin spoke, he moved his face closer to Jiang Li, his meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Jiang Li coughed twice and made an excuse seriously: "I am short and can't reach it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Song Chengyin lifted her armpits, and the next moment she stepped on the two-foot-high threshold, half a head taller than Song Chengyin.

Song Chengyin looked up at her, as if he would not leave unless he gave her a sweet treat.

Jiang Li looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, she quickly lowered her head and kissed Song Chengyin on the forehead.

"I'll take my leave!"

Jiang Li turned around with a red face and ran back to Jinhua Palace, leaving Song Chengyin standing alone outside the palace.

Song Chengyin raised his eyebrows, touched the forehead she had kissed with a satisfied look, and chuckled: "What a cruel little guy."

Song Chengyin, who was kicked out for the first time, put one hand behind his back, with an unsuppressible smile on his lips, and walked slowly towards the imperial study.

The distance between Jinhua Palace and the Imperial Study is not far. When Song Chengyin wanted to see Jiang Li just now, he did not let the palace servants follow him and walked back alone.

When they were halfway there, Eunuch Su hurried over and said, "This old servant pays respect to Your Majesty!"

Song Chengyin walked straight to the imperial study without stopping, and asked as he walked, "What happened?"

Eunuch Su followed behind Song Chengyin at an unhurried pace and explained, "Your Majesty, many people in the palace are spreading rumors that the virtuous concubine is the reincarnation of the evil concubine who brought disaster to the country. They are even trying to spread this rumor to the people. I have sent people to stop them."

The curve of Song Chengyin's mouth dropped instantly, and the temperature of his body also dropped: "Have you found out which palace it is?"

Eunuch Su nodded and said, "I have checked everything. I have recorded the identities of the servants in each palace and am waiting for your Majesty to punish me."

Song Chengyin snorted coldly: "Humph, I think they are too idle, so they keep staring at my Ah Li. Since they have nothing to do in the harem, they should leave for the imperial mausoleum today to guard the mausoleum for their mother."

"yes!"

Eunuch Su was shocked. He knew that the concubines in the harem had touched the emperor's reverse scale this time, so they were exiled to the imperial mausoleum to guard the mausoleum for the empress dowager. There was no possibility of returning! "Pass on my decree. No one in the harem is allowed to step out of the harem without being summoned. Those who violate the order will be executed!"

Song Chengyin immediately issued a house arrest order for the concubines in the harem, not allowing them to step out of the harem even once, and not giving them any chance to slander and frame Jiang Li.

In less than an incense stick of time, all the concubines who instigated the palace servants to spread the rumor that Jiang Li was a demon concubine who brought disaster to the country were exiled to the imperial mausoleum. Anyone could see that His Majesty was really angry.

Those concubines who were already prepared but had not yet had time to let the palace people spread the rumor that the concubine was a disaster to the country breathed a sigh of relief, glad that they were not fast enough.

Otherwise, they would be the ones exiled to the imperial mausoleum!

Once they go to the desolate and barren place like the Imperial Mausoleum, there is no possibility of returning. From then on, the glory and wealth will be gone from them. From now on, they can only be accompanied by those cold mausoleums until the end of their lives...

Just thinking about it makes people feel cold all over! Before the concubines could relax, the imperial decree that from now on they were not allowed to step out of the harem without being summoned was pressed down on them again, making them breathless and feeling cold in their hearts.

Not being allowed to step out of the harem without being summoned is no different from being banished to the cold palace.

The concubines who were still rejoicing that they were not exiled to the imperial mausoleum in the last second now all collapsed to the ground with despair in their hearts.

His eyes were empty, no longer the spirit he once had.

Over, over.

They are afraid that they will be trapped within these endless palace walls and waste their lives in the future.

This is the voice of most people.

There are also a small number of people who believe that His Majesty is only temporarily bewitched by Concubine Xian, and when he gets tired of Concubine Xian, he will withdraw this decree and allow them to come and go freely.

But when will Your Majesty get tired of the Virtuous Concubine?

Nobody knows.

The heart of an emperor is as deep as the sea.

All they can do is wait endlessly.

Fengyi Palace.

The nanny who had served the Queen since she was still an unmarried lady came in with freshly prepared Tremella and red dates soup.

Then he saw the queen sitting in the main seat with her forehead supported by one hand and her eyes closed.

Mammy put the Tremella and Red Dates Soup beside the Queen with a gloomy face and ordered the palace servants in the palace: "All of you leave."

"yes!"

After all the palace servants had left, the maid turned to the queen and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, are you really going to let His Majesty act so recklessly for that evil concubine?!"
