Concubine Li is her follower, and the emperor must suspect that she is behind all this.
"Shufei has been in the palace for many years and has a solid foundation. The Cen family needs her and will protect her. Now is not the right time to deal with her. Dealing with Ning Wanyin is the top priority." Empress Dowager Xue looked at her and reminded her.
Xue Zhaoyi said angrily, "I already had a good plan to kill two birds with one stone, but it was risky. I thought that this noble lady Li would be useful, so I planned to use her first. I didn't expect her to be a useless thing. Aunt, don't worry. According to my original plan, I can make Ning Wanyin wish for death!"
Xue Zhaoyi left with a confident look on her face, and was filled with anger and wanted to teach Ning Wanyin a lesson.
Queen Mother Xue looked at her leaving figure, shook her head, and said to a maidservant beside her:
"Yan'er is young and impetuous, and she doesn't act very thoughtfully. You can go and serve her, and don't stop her. It's also okay to use Ning to give her a training. Just inform me in time if anything happens."
"Yes." The nanny took the order and left.

April is the royal family's annual summer hunting month.

Because after concubines entered the palace, their family members were not allowed to see them.
But during the summer hunting, the princes, ministers and their families would accompany them. If a family member happened to be among them, they would be able to see him, which was considered a favor from the emperor to his favorite concubine.
"Shunpin is not feeling well, so she won't go." The emperor refused directly.
Concubine Shu had already guessed that the emperor would not let Shunpin go out, but since Shunpin's contribution to her pregnancy was there, she would definitely mention it first, and took over the conversation and said:
"So these four sisters will accompany His Majesty this year?"
The emperor glanced at the list and thought of two people, "Add Concubine Song and Wen Baolin."
Concubine Shu was startled. These two were the daughters of the emperor's important ministers...
"Look at me, I forgot that these two sisters are also lovely people." Concubine Shu took over the conversation with a smile and kept both of them in mind.
