Thinking of the insult she suffered in the room that day, she must return it double to Xie Yuaner. She could act so arrogantly in the palace just by relying on the support of a backer, but she, Gu Junyao, was not someone to be trifled with.

"yes."

When Concubine Shu knew that Gu Junyao was rewarded, she felt unhappy, and she was also quite anxious because Xie Yuan'er had not yet received the emperor's favor. The Grand Chancellor even specifically reminded her that she must support Xie Yuan'er's position in the palace, so that she could also say more good things about them to the emperor.

Although Concubine Shu has power in the palace, the emperor will not listen to her. She can only support a few newcomers and please the emperor. Knowing how Gu Junyao wins the emperor's heart, she goes to Cheng'en Palace in person, intending to teach her personally.

Shaoyao saw Concubine Shu's sedan chair at the door and hurried in to report, "Xie Liangdi, Concubine Shu is here."

"Shufei!" Xie Yuan'er naturally recognized Shufei, and hurriedly packed up and knelt at the door to welcome her arrival. As soon as Shufei arrived, her aura was fully open, and all the servants kowtowed to her three times and nine times.

It seemed as if he had brilliant and flawless charm all over his body. His noble and unattainable face revealed a bit of coldness and deterrence, like a bright moon in the night sky.

"Get up quickly, you and I are old acquaintances." Concubine Shu helped her up and sat her on the main seat. She raised her eyelids lazily and glanced at the palace. She looked lifeless. No wonder the emperor would not come to this place.

"Empress Shufei, I wonder what brings you here?" Xie Yuan'er was still afraid of the aura of this concubine, but before coming to the palace, her uncle specifically reminded her that there would be noble people supporting her in the palace, so she didn't need to worry.

"Of course I came to see how you, the Concubine Liang, did it. Now that little talent has climbed onto the dragon bed, but you..." Concubine Shu looked disappointed and shook her head, thinking about how she had specifically asked the emperor to turn over her name card that day, but she didn't expect that Gu Junyao would intercept her. This idiot only knew how to lose his temper in the room and did nothing, so the emperor naturally wouldn't come.

"Your Majesty, if you want to blame someone, blame it on Gu Junyao who has misled the queen." Xie Yuaner said gritting her teeth, with a look in her eyes that made her want to cut her into pieces.

"You are incompetent, yet you blame others for stealing the show." Concubine Shu's face was cold and her eyes were sharp. Xie Yuan'er didn't dare to refute a word, just like a trained servant.

"Forget it. I will tell you what the emperor hates the most, including what he likes the most. I will ask the emperor to come to your Cheng'en Palace tonight. If you can't keep him here, it's because you are incompetent."

"Thank you for your advice, Yuan'er will definitely keep it in mind."

Xie Yuan'er lowered her head humbly, and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing her off. Shaoyao beside her frowned and walked forward and said, "Liang Di, if the Concubine Shu has a way, why can't she capture the heart of the emperor?"

"You must not say these words carelessly, be careful of the disaster that may come from your mouth."

"yes."

That night, Xie Yuan'er bathed in the bathtub and changed her clothes, waiting for the emperor's favor. However, Shaoyao told her that the emperor went to the Yanxi Palace again. She didn't know what method Gu Junyao used to snatch people away from her again and again. She was so angry that she gnashed her teeth.

"Damn it!" Xie Yuaner frowned, and Shaoyao behind her suddenly changed her expression, stretched out her fingers and strangled Xie Yuaner to death.

On the other side, Concubine Shu received news that there was a message from Cheng'en Palace asking her to go there right now because there was an urgent matter.

The servant left after reporting the news at the door, but Zi Yan felt that something was fishy.

"My lady, do you think there is a trick here?"

"What can a girl like Xie Yuan'er do to me? It's just that Gu Junyao has taken away the Holy Grace again."

Concubine Shu thought Xie Yuan'er was just a fool, so she tied her cloak and came to Cheng'en Hall. Zi Yan knocked on the door first, but no one responded. She felt something was wrong, so she called out Xie Liangdi's name, but the person inside still didn't respond.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xie should not be in there." Zi Yan relied on her intuition and judgment, but Concubine Shu didn't believe it. She wondered what this girl was doing.

She walked forward and kicked the door open. There was still steam coming out from behind the screen. She thought they were taking a shower and changing clothes. But when she saw blood flowing out from the side of the bathtub, her pupils suddenly contracted.

Zi Yan quickly walked over and saw that Xie Yuaner and Shaoyao were already dead.

At this moment, the emperor's sedan chair had already arrived, but he did not expect to witness this scene.

"Your Majesty...please listen to what I have to say." Concubine Shu thought that the emperor had gone to the Yanx Palace, but she didn't expect him to come here suddenly.

She was so frightened that she was a little flustered. How could she explain why she was in Cheng'en Hall? "Shufei, how did you get here?" The emperor looked at the tragic scene behind the screen with a sharp gaze, and turned his head back to look at the pale Shufei. It was obvious that she was guilty. Shufei hesitated and lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, I heard from the servants that something happened in Cheng'en Hall, so I came to see it."

"Yes, Your Majesty, someone brought a letter saying that something big happened in Cheng'en Palace, so we came here. Your Majesty was completely unaware of it." Zi Yan spoke for Concubine Shu, but she didn't expect to earn a look of disgust from the Emperor.

"Do you, a servant, have the right to interrupt here?" The emperor's eyes were as cold as ice and he glared at her fiercely. Only then did Zi Yan shut up and dared not speak.

Concubine Shu was so frightened that cold sweat kept falling from her forehead. She grabbed his sleeve and shook her head, saying, "Your Majesty, my hands are not stained with blood. I don't know what happened."

After hearing her words, the emperor's eyes naturally moved to her hands. Unexpectedly, there was a conspicuous bloodstain on his sleeve. Shufei's hand also touched blood at some point. Shufei was frightened and turned pale. She quickly took a step back. Even Zi Yan's hand was covered with blood.

"What else do you two, master and servant, have to say?" the emperor asked coldly, his deep eyes piercing her heart like a thorn.

"Your Majesty..." The Emperor interrupted Concubine Shu before she finished her words, "Forget it, let the Dali Temple investigate this matter thoroughly, and you will return to the palace obediently and not step out of the palace gate. After the matter is thoroughly investigated, I will naturally make a judgment!"

Considering their old friendship, she did not arrest them first, which was already a favor to her. Besides, this matter came from the harem, and she did not want any movement from the former dynasty.
