Wei Yingya had just arrived at the gate of Xianfu Palace and had not yet had time to go to her own bedroom.
He was knocked to the ground by a concubine who came out.
"Who is this? He is so ignorant of the rules and offends me!" Zhang Zhaoyi looked dissatisfied.
Wei Yingya didn't remember who she was, but since she was a Zhaoyi, she immediately got up from the ground and saluted, "Your concubine greets the Zhaoyi. Your concubine didn't mean it..."
"Sister Zhang, my cousin definitely didn't bump into you on purpose..." Wei Yingshu, who was beside Zhang Zhaoyi, said with a smile:
"Would you mind just giving me a light fine?"
Zhang Zhaoyi narrowed her eyes and glanced at Wei Yingya. "So it's the beautiful lady Ying who is favored by all the six palaces... Why do you look so haggard? I didn't recognize you at all. A concubine of lower rank offended a higher rank. For the sake of your cousin, I will only give you a light punishment and a heavy warning."
"Someone, come and slap her in the face!"
Wei Yingshu said with concern, "Sister Zhang, let me handle this little matter. You still have to go to Concubine Shu's palace for tea, so I dare not waste your time."
"Well, then I'll leave it to you." Zhang Zhaoyi said this and turned to walk out.
She bumped into Wei Yingya on purpose, just to use her position to help Wei Yingshu.
She was originally an elder in the palace, and immediately took refuge with Concubine Cen.
It's nice to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade.
With Concubine Cen's connections, it was very easy for Wei Yingshu to deal with Wei Yingya.
Wei Yingshu raised her hand and slapped Wei Yingya hard on the face:
"Cousin, do you think you can get revenge now that you are out? I can beat you anywhere if I want to!"
Wei Yingya had just come out of the cold palace and was already weak, so she was knocked to the ground by a slap.
"What are you still standing there for? Help my cousin up." Wei Yingshu glanced at the palace maids.
Dong Wu was so frightened that he trembled as he helped Wei Yingya up.
Wei Yingshu rubbed his wrist, "My hand hurts even after beating you. Qiu Shan, keep beating me. Beat me for an hour."
"Yes." Her personal maid obeyed the order.
“Pah, pah, pah!”
In front of the gate of Yixiu Palace, there were crisp slaps.
Wei Yingya's cheeks were swollen from the beating, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. She thought of the palace fighting dramas she had watched in her previous life, where the heroine would turn evil and seek revenge after being beaten.
But even if she turned evil a hundred times, she still couldn't deal with Wei Yingshu.
No matter how ingenious a strategy is, to put it into practice, it requires manpower, connections, and a backer.
She has no backing, so even if she wins by chance, she will be killed by the Cen family.
Wei Yingya suddenly realized that she might not be the heroine at all.
But, she can be the heroine’s teammate!
There will always be someone in this harem who will become the empress dowager in the future.
First, rule out Ning Wanyin.
This kind of favored concubine who has enemies on all sides usually won't survive more than three chapters.
All the concubines in the harem flashed through her mind one by one.
She didn't remember many people.
But there was one person who quickly caught her attention.
"She wasn't noticeable in the early stages. She was unable to sleep with him because she was sick and had her jade token removed. Isn't this the normal template for a female protagonist?"
"Even if you encounter danger, you can still turn it into safety by doing nothing. The heroine's halo is full..."
"She also has a cousin with whom she has a deep friendship, and this cousin is also the emperor's favorite concubine, and is not far from death. According to the law of palace fighting dramas, once her cousin dies, she will immediately turn evil, actively seduce the emperor, and kill people in the harem to avenge her cousin, and step by step become the empress dowager. Doesn't this look like a palace fighting drama I saw in my previous life?"
Wei Yingya's last thought before she was slapped unconscious was, "Based on my years of experience watching dramas, this woman must have the qualities to be a queen mother! If I can successfully team up with her, what do I have to fear from the Wei and Cen families?"
…
In Lingxue Pavilion.
"Cousin, if it weren't for you, I would be dead..." The first thing Tang Miaoling did after being released was to rush to Lingxue Pavilion and cry loudly to Ning Wanyin.
Ning Wanyin looked distant, "You were released because you really didn't murder Shunpin."
"But if it weren't for my cousin, I would have died before my innocence was vindicated. Without my cousin, the murderer would never have been caught. Cousin, from now on, you are my second parent! If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. Whoever you want to die, I will do it!" Tang Miaoling's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Ning Wanyin to express her loyalty.
Ning Wanyin had no intention of forming an alliance with her, but after she pleaded for Tang Miaoling, everyone knew that they had a deep sisterly bond.
The blood relationship is destined. If something happens to Tang Miaoling, Ning Wanyin will have a hard time clearing herself from the blame.
However, there is still a solution.
"You have not served the emperor in bed since entering the palace. Now that you are released from confinement, I will mention you more to His Majesty." Ning Wanyin looked at her and said.
It is reasonable that the two sisters became enemies because of fighting over a man.
From then on, no matter what happened to Tang Miaoling, it could not be linked to her.
That’s right, Ning Wanyin’s first thought after rescuing Tang Miaoling was to distance herself from the matter and pass the emperor to her.
"I don't want to sleep with you!" Tang Miaoling refused without a second thought. Facing Ning Wanyin's inquiring eyes, she stammered and said:
"I... I'm not feeling well... cough cough cough..."
Ning Wanyin said, "Lianrui, go get the imperial physician."
"Wait, wait... no, no, no... I admit that I was pretending to be sick, but I really didn't want to sleep with you!" Tang Miaoling hurriedly stopped him.
"Why?" Ning Wanyin raised her eyebrows.
Tang Miaoling said with a bitter face, "The women in the harem are too scary. Being the emperor's favorite concubine is not a good thing. I am afraid of being targeted and framed."
"But if you don't become the emperor's favorite concubine, you will be framed just the same. If you choose to enter the palace, you are doomed to never have peace." Ning Wanyin stated.
Tang Miaoling nodded, "Yes, so please take care of me, cousin. I will definitely follow your lead and cheer for you!"
Ning Wanyin refused: "You have the favor of His Majesty, so His Majesty will naturally take better care of you."
"No, no, no, I don't think he can be trusted." Tang Miaoling shook her head like a rattle, then looked at Ning Wanyin expectantly:
"Cousin, I want to take refuge with you!"
Lian Rui and Cui Ping were both stunned. Tang Miaoling dared to criticize His Majesty like this, which was disrespectful and could cost her her head.
Ning Wanyin also frowned and stared at her and said:
"I am domineering and have enemies all over the palace. It is not a good thing for you to get too close to me. In the future, others may attack you in order to deal with me. Stay away from me, so that there will be less trouble."
Tang Miaoling shuddered with fear, but soon she straightened her chest, "It doesn't matter, I believe my cousin can win! Even if I am imprisoned again, I will be released sooner or later with you here. Cousin, you don't have to worry about me. In fact, when I was imprisoned, I ate, drank, and slept every day. It was very comfortable. Don't be afraid of getting me into trouble!"
Ning Wanyin: ???
Is there a possibility that I don’t want you to get me into trouble?
I'm not worried about you.
"Cousin, you are alone in the harem and it's difficult for you to do anything on your own. With a helper like me, you will be more powerful!" Tang Miaoling tried hard to recommend herself.
Ning Wanyin raised her eyebrows slightly, "Are you sure?"
Tang Miaoling was instantly stumped by the question and said weakly, "I'm not sure."
