Xiao Yue was weak and needed rest, so she came to disturb her every day, draining her energy and making her unable to find peace and rest.

This was an open conspiracy, and even if Xiao Yue knew about it, she couldn't do anything. If Xiao Yue drove her away, she would tell Rongpin that Xiao Zhaoyi was disrespectful to her sisters, had a solitary personality, and lacked moral integrity.

With a pretext, Rongpin could naturally take action against Xiao Yue.

She took a sip of tea. After talking for so long, not to mention Xiao Yue, she herself was a little tired.

"Madam Yu, my master didn't sleep well yesterday and is a little tired." Yi Qiu felt sorry for his master and quickly ordered her to leave.

But Lady Yu seemed not to understand.

"It's my sister's fault. I should have said something lighter."

She took out a hairpin from her bosom and asked with a smile, "Sister, do you think this hairpin looks good?"

Xiao Yue and Yi Qiu's gazes froze.

It was a red jade hairpin, Rongpin's hairpin, the hairpin that the Eighth Prince said was stolen by Xia Jing.

The mystery was solved in an instant, and the situation immediately became clear. Xiao Yue clenched her hands, and Yi Qiu gritted her teeth, realizing that Concubine Yu was being controlled by Concubine Rong!

Xiao Yue suppressed her anger, praised him lightly, said she was a little sleepy, and ordered him to leave again.

Concubine Yu still refused to listen. She put the red jade hairpin in her hair and looked at Xia Jing beside her: "What do you think, Ninth Prince?"

Xia Jing listened the whole time and pretended to scribble with a brush to entertain himself.

He thought to himself, I haven't bothered you yet, and now you come to bother me!

He looked up, pretended to shrink back, dropped his brush, jumped off the chair, and threw himself into Xiao Yue's arms. Then he turned his head and looked at Yu Meiren again.

He said timidly, "Like a big fly."

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Yi Qiu was the first to react. With her hair in a bun and the ruby ​​hairpin tucked into her side, didn't she look like a giant fly with red eyes glaring at the edge of swill? The hair was her body, the ruby ​​hairpins were her eyes, and the face underneath was, naturally, the swill.

Yi Qiu lowered her head and smiled secretly, Xiao Yue raised her hand to cover her smiling lips.

Lady Yu finally understood.

"You!" She squeezed the armrest of the chair.

"Children speak without restraint, please don't blame me, sister." Xiao Yue hugged Xia Jing and touched his cheek lovingly.

Children's words are indeed fearless, especially when the child is a prince.

Concubine Yu didn't dare say anything. She suppressed her anger and resorted to her next tactic: "Yesterday, Concubine Rong summoned me. I thought I had been disrespectful in some way and was very nervous. But when I got there, I realized it was Concubine Rong who pitied me."

She paused here deliberately to pique Xiao Yue's curiosity, and then said, "Empress Rong has given me a palace maid."

Xia Jing had already guessed who the palace maid was and thought that he had worried for nothing, thinking that Concubine Rong had some big trick up her sleeve, but it turned out that she was just constantly provoking him.

He looked at Concubine Yu again. She looked excited and fearless. Concubine Rong hadn't told her the truth. Their alliance was fragile.

If Concubine Rong said that she was beaten by Xiao Yue, how could Concubine Yu dare to be so arrogant!

He was not interested, but Xiao Yue and Yi Qiu reacted strongly.

"What a coincidence, it's Nanny Jin who used to serve my sister!" Lady Yu smiled brightly.

The fake smile on Xiao Yue's face disappeared, and she looked annoyed. Yi Qiu glanced at the door. If her master took action, she would close the door and leave Lady Yu with no way to escape!

Lady Yu still didn't know that she was in danger of a bloody disaster.

She took off the red jade hairpin and looked at Xia Jing with a smile: "Ninth Prince, do you miss Nanny Jin? Why don't you come with me to see her?"

"Okay." Xia Jing gladly accepted the invitation.

This irrational reaction was unexpected by Yu Meiren, not even Xiao Yue and Yi Qiu could have imagined it.

While they were stunned, Xia Jing had already walked to Yu Meiren's legs, reached out and grabbed her skirt, pulled it, and then let go.

A dark handprint appeared on the hem of her blue skirt. This was the ink from Xia Jing's recent scribbles with her brush.

Lady Yu's eyes widened. This was her best dress! She had originally saved it for the New Year's Day audience with the Emperor, but she had worn it early to spite Xiao Yue. It was actually stained with ink!

She couldn't help herself any longer and screamed. Seeing that Xia Jing was about to grab her skirt again, she hurriedly pulled the hem of her skirt.

She lifted not only the hem of her skirt, but also the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince screamed, fell to the ground, rolled twice, and hit the chair.

The room suddenly became dead silent!

Concubine Yu's face turned pale. She didn't use much strength, and the Ninth Prince didn't even seem to touch her skirt, but how could he be thrown out!

Before she could figure it out, Xiao Yue's slap had already landed on her face with a crisp sound.

Yi Qiu picked up Xia Jing and checked his body nervously.

"I..." Just as Concubine Yu was about to explain, a loud voice came from outside the palace gate.

"Is Concubine Xiao here?" Xu Zhongde, the eunuch in charge of imperial ceremonies, strode into the courtyard with four eunuchs.

He immediately spotted the Ninth Prince. As expected, he was the little prince that Hui Jing had been longing for. With delicate features and a jade-like appearance, he was truly adorable.

But why are there tears in the corners of my eyes?

He glanced at the angry Xiao Yue, the guilty Yu Meiren, and the slap mark on Yu Meiren's face, and guessed the cause and effect.

He asked in surprise, "My two young masters, what happened?"

Lady Yu took a step back, her face as pale as paper, knowing that something was wrong.

Chapter 10 Lost in Beauty

Yi Qiu didn't recognize Xu Zhongde, but looking at his expression and the smooth and delicate black robe that looked very expensive, he knew that he was of high status.

In the palace, you can tell a person's status by looking at his clothes.

Even if a lowly servant had some spare cash, he wouldn't dare wear expensive clothes. He'd be seen by a higher-ranking servant. "Oh, who are you, to wear the same fabric as me? Tell me, do you want to dig up tuberoses, or do you want to test the depth of that well?"

Yi Qiu looked at Xiao Yue first, and when he saw that his master had no instructions, he spoke and told her everything.

"I, I didn't mean it!" Yu Meiren stuttered, trying to find a way to prove her innocence, "Just now, just now..."

She hesitated, replaying the scene in her mind, and gradually lost confidence. If she hadn't pulled the hem of her skirt hard and thrown the Ninth Prince out, how could the Ninth Prince have fallen?

She wondered if she had really made a mistake.

Now she could only pray that the eunuch's status was not so high that the news would not spread. This would hurt the prince! She was not a concubine, but just a beauty of the lowest rank. How could she bear such a crime?

"I will inform the emperor." Xu Zhongde bowed in the direction of the Yangxin Palace.

It’s over! Yu Meiren’s eyes went dark, and she only managed to steady herself by holding onto the table.

This is actually the eunuch beside the emperor!

Concubine Rong, I must go to Concubine Rong and plead for mercy immediately!

Thinking of Concubine Rong, she felt better. She also thought that she should get some information for Concubine Rong to see why this eunuch came to see Xiao Yue.

She stood aside and listened attentively.

"Alas, damn this servant, I forgot to pay my respects." Xu Zhongde greeted Xiao Yue. "Xiao Zhaoyi has never met this servant. My name is Xu Zhongde. I have been granted the position of Chief Secretary of the Imperial Household Department by the Emperor's grace."

It turned out to be the eunuch Xu who was rumored to be the emperor’s favorite!

Xiao Yue was startled. Lady Yu's body swayed again, and her face, which had just regained some color, turned pale again.

"Yi Qiu, serve tea to Eunuch Xu." Xiao Yue hurriedly ordered.

This Eunuch Xu's position in the harem was second only to the Empress, and his position in the court even surpassed the Empress. When Emperor Kangning was still an unappreciated prince, Eunuch Xu served by his side and had a rich history.

She was surprised and confused, wondering what Eunuch Xu was doing here. Could it be that the Emperor wanted to stand up for Concubine Rong?

She clenched her hands and walked in front of Yi Qiu, blocking Yi Qiu and Xia Jing in Yi Qiu's arms.

If there is any punishment, she will bear it alone!

Xu Zhongde observed her movements and said, "Thank you, Xiao Zhaoyi. I shouldn't have refused the tea you gave me, but the Emperor is still waiting for me to return and report."

Xu Zhongde raised his hand, and two eunuchs behind him carried a box and placed it on the ground.

"The weather is getting cold, and the emperor is thinking about the Ninth Prince and Xiao Zhaoyi, so he ordered me to take ten pieces of Shuiyun silk and ask Xiao Zhaoyi to make a few sets of thick clothes." He said with a smile.

"If Xiao Zhaoyi has time after finishing making the clothes, she can help the Empress Dowager copy a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures to fulfill her filial piety." Xu Zhongde raised his hand again, and a eunuch handed him a small box with a few volumes of scriptures in it.

"The Ninth Prince seems to be fine, but I'm afraid he has internal injuries. Miss Yi Qiu, please ask the imperial physician to take a look." After giving his final instructions, Xu Zhongde took his leave.

The group of people were like a gust of wind, blowing in and out, and Jingyixuan returned to tranquility.

"I'll go call the imperial physician!" Xiao Tianzi had been watching by the door, worried about his young master, and hurried to the Imperial Hospital.

Xiao Yue and Yi Qiu carefully examined Xia Jing's body, not leaving out a single inch, including his teeth.

Xia Jing bared his teeth. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have acted so violently. This inspection was truly uncomfortable.

He looked at Yu Meiren again. He had made such a sacrifice, rolling on the ground for a whole circle. If he couldn't suppress Yu Meiren, it would be a big loss!

Although Lady Yu's position is low, she lives in Jingyixuan, right next to Xia Jing's bed, so she still has to cut the Gordian knot quickly to feel at ease.

So he took advantage of Xu Zhongde's arrival and used this trick of inflicting pain on himself.

Yes, he knew Xu Zhongde would be here at that time. He glanced to the side and saw seven blue dots on the 3D map. These seven people were the people in Jingyixuan besides him.

Like most game maps, this map also shows nearby characters - only nearby, and the range barely covers the small Jingyixuan.

He had just seen the unfamiliar blue dot approaching Jingyixuan and seized the opportunity. If Rongpin had framed him, he could naturally frame Rongpin's lackeys. A three-year-old's accusation was much easier and more believable than Rongpin's.

Looking at the beautiful Yu, she even thought that she had used too much force and thrown Xia Jing away.

"What are you doing!" Yi Qiu suddenly scolded.

Yu Meiren opened the big box and said in dismay, "It's really Shuiyun silk. This is impossible."

Inside the box, light blue cloth was neatly arranged. It was bright in color, elegant in color, and delicate in texture. Upon closer inspection, it was somewhat similar to the material of the palace skirt worn by Concubine Yu, but more noble.

The silk on Lady Yu's body is cloud silk. Water cloud silk is the finest and most carefully selected cloud silk, and is more than ten times more expensive!

The emperor really rewarded Xiao Yue!

How could the emperor reward Xiao Yue!

Concubine Yu was so confused that she didn't notice the rudeness in Yi Qiu's words. She looked down on Xiao Yue, believing that she only achieved the position of Zhaoyi by giving birth to several children, and that the emperor didn't care about her at all.

Since she entered the palace, she has never received a reward from the emperor! She attached herself to Rongpin just to get closer to the emperor!

Concubine Yu stumbled out of Jingyixuan and headed for Rongpin's Changqing Palace, with her maids hurriedly following behind.

The Imperial Medical Bureau is close to Jingyixuan, and the imperial physician will arrive soon.

Xia Jing originally thought about pretending to be sick and turning around dozens of times to make himself dizzy and nauseous. Since the imperial physician could not diagnose such symptoms involving the brain, he could only say that the condition was serious.

The more serious the illness, the more miserable Yu Meiren will be.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yue and Yi Qiu cared about him too much and never left his side, so he had no chance to act at all!

The imperial physician this time was not the same one from last time. He had an arrogant look on his face and was invited by Xiao Tianzi on his own accord.

When the incident happened, Xiao Tianzi was outside the door and had no idea what was going on. He only knew that Concubine Yu had dropped her little prince.

This is much more serious than spanking! When spanking, you should be careful and only hit the palm of your hand. But when you throw someone, you can't be careless. If you hit a bone or your head, you can't be careless!

That was the young master who saved me from danger twice!

He wanted to choose the one with the best medical skills, but in his simple opinion, the one with the worst attitude is the one with the best medical skills!

On the way, the imperial physician was neither hurried nor hurried. He urged him several times before he walked faster.

Seeing the imperial physician's expression, Xiao Yue had the same idea as Xiao Tianzi.

"My surname is Wen." Imperial Physician Wen stood still, waiting for something.

"Sorry to bother you, Doctor Wen." Xiao Yue turned around and asked Yi Qiu to take some silver and give it to the cold and arrogant old imperial physician.

The old imperial physician looked at her and stroked his goatee. This Concubine Xiao was quite sensible.

In the past, he was a doctor in the concubine's palace. Today, he lowered his status and came to see a Zhaoyi, so naturally he had to take some money.

Xiao Tianzi took the silver from Yi Qiu and handed it to Imperial Physician Wen. Imperial Physician Wen bent down to take it and glanced to the side.

Hey, why is there a box in front of the door?

Hey, why does the style of this box look so much like the one in the inner storage?
