"Little sister, you should rest for a while at my place so as to avoid the person the Emperor sent to capture you. All the women in this palace are poor. Elder sister is weak and has no chance to leave the palace, so I can only help younger sister. "

"Where do you live?"

"Youlan Palace is not far from here. Sister, come have a cup of tea with me."

Madam Lan did not say anything further. She held Ji Tian Ning's hand and walked back the way they came from. "Little sister's skin is really good. I wonder how it is maintained?"

"Maintain? What? This is how we were born."

"Hehe, then little sister really is a natural born beauty. No wonder the emperor wanted to keep his little sister to accompany him in the palace." I heard that a few days ago, the Emperor brought back a woman from the border.

"That's probably the case. I'm not too sure either, who knows what kind of place that place is. But I was captured by your emperor a few days ago. Were you also caught by him? "

"Sigh, our lives are the Emperor's. It is our honor to be able to accompany him. This is the Emperor's favor, how dare you say that it was taken back by the Emperor? "

"Esteemed concubine Lan, you are quite beautiful. Are all the concubines in this palace as beautiful as you?"

"Hehe, elder sister is just like a willow tree, how can she be considered beautiful. How can there not be beautiful women in this palace?" The horizons of the Emperor were very high. Only a person as naturally born and beautiful as my little sister is able to move the Emperor's heart. "

"What does it have to do with me that he is unmoved? I don't feel anything for him. How old are you this year? "

"Elder sister is already twenty this year, how can she be as young as younger sister?"

Ji Tian Ning was speechless. She was young, and at least two years older than Lan Gui. However, this noble concubine Lan did not look any younger than her. She could only sigh. She was born with better skin.

"Are there many concubines here?"

"Of course, His Majesty is a wise man with many concubines. "However, the amount of people who can receive the emperor's favor aren't many. My younger sister must be doted upon by the emperor."

What she was most worried about was that this bizarre woman had already been favored by the emperor. If that happened, things would be even more troublesome. This woman could live in the Hearing Rain Pavilion, but she didn't hear about the bestowal of the decree. This meant that this woman must have been doted upon by the Emperor.

"Who wants his love? I just want to go out and be at ease."

"A woman that has been favored by the Emperor can only live here for her entire life. "Even if …"

Imperial Concubine Lan had originally wanted to say that even if the Emperor were to pass away, a concubine who had no children would only accompany the Emperor in death. However, thinking that these words were extremely disrespectful, he hastily stopped speaking. She turned her head to look at Ji Tian Ning with a gentle smile, thinking about how she would deal with this girl after she tricked her into the Youlan Palace.

She wondered if this woman had obtained the favor of the emperor. Ji Tian Ning was currently without any status, so even if she was randomly sentenced to death, it wouldn't be anything much.

Within the Youlan Palace, Madam Lan did not have any airs of being a concubine at all. She invited Ji Tian Ning to sit by her side and asked for tea to be served.

"Little sister, have a taste. This is a new tea that was harvested from the Misty Cloud Mountain this spring. Before the rain begins, it is a tribute that only the palace can drink."

A light fragrance lingered in the air. The tea broth appeared to be a few shades of green. The tea was tender and had a sharp point. The fragrance of the tea assaulted the nostrils.

Ji Tian Ning ran for a long time and was very thirsty. He placed the tea next to his mouth and suddenly, a strange smell entered her nose.

It wasn't that Ji Tian Ning hadn't seen good tea before. She liked to drink and drink tea, but she wasn't obsessed with the Way of Tea and didn't want to be troubled by it. Good tea. Smells good. Clear to the bottom. One drop in his mouth, the fragrance wafting from his lips and teeth, lingering on for a long time.

However, the tea in his hand now had a strange aroma. Tea was the most delicate and sensitive item. It couldn't be placed together with other things, and was the most likely to be stained with the smell of other things. Once mixed with other things, especially those with special flavors, the aroma of the tea would change and become impure, destroying the original aroma of the tea.

The tea broth was not very clear. If one looked carefully, one would see that there was not even a hint of turbidity in it. Coupled with that strange smell, it seeped into Ji Tian Ning's nostrils.

Ji Tian Ning immediately became alert. She used her teacup to wipe away the tea leaves floating on the surface and secretly looked at Madam Lan from the corner of her eyes.

The palace maid who brought the tea secretly sent a glance to the imperial concubine. Her smile grew wider and gentler as she said, "Little sister, this tea can't be drunk easily. This is something the Emperor bestowed upon me. Only by welcoming my esteemed guest, will I be able to take it out. "

"If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble Lady Lan. This really is a good tea."

A cold smile appeared in her eyes as she lowered her head to pretend to be sipping her tea. Using knockout drugs in front of a medical student like her, wasn't that a bit too child's play?

He quietly poured some tea into a handkerchief and pretended to drink it. Martial Aunt Lan heaved a sigh of relief. Although her movements were light, it was still within Ji Tian Ning's eyes. She was somewhat puzzled. This was the first time she had met Martial Aunt Lan, so why was this beauty plotting against her?

"Esteemed concubine Lan, what is the rank of your concubine and what is the rank of this palace?"

She thought of that unknown maid dressed in clothes. She didn't know what kind of position she held, but she felt that it was much more complicated than the distribution of her nerves in the palace.

"Among the ranks in the palace, the Empress is the most important, as she controls the three palaces and six courtyards. The three palaces were the main empress, imperial concubine and imperial concubine, and the six courtyards were of the first rank. There were also names for Consort Hui, Concubine Fu, Consort De, Consort Xian, Concubine Chen and Zhuang. And then, from the first rank lady, first rank lady, first rank lady, second rank Zhaoyuan, Zhaoyuan, Zhaoyong, Zhaohua. "

As Madam Lan spoke, she looked at Ji Tian Ning's expression with some puzzlement. Thus, Ji Tian Ning knew that the knockout drugs must have taken effect.

"Then what is your concubine …"

Before he could finish his sentence, Ji Tian Ning fell. She leaned back against the chair and slowly fell to the ground.

"I thought the knockout drug was ineffective, or perhaps she sensed that and did not drink the tea. "Men, drag her out and do as I say."

"Understood."

The palace maid, who had been slapped by Ji Tian Ning, had a face full of jealousy as she walked over and grabbed Ji Tian Ning's hair. Ji Tian Ning was in so much pain that she wanted to lift her foot and kick this palace maid out of the room. However, in order to know the intentions of his wife, he had no choice but to forcefully suppress it.

"Lu Fei, you can leave now. Don't ruin my business. Lotus Harvester, you and Yunque will take care of this matter for me. I will definitely reward you handsomely. "

"To be able to serve the Empress is the honor of our servants. Wherever they go, they'll covet some sort of reward." This servant will definitely handle this matter to the fullest. Empress, please be at ease. "

Lu Fei released her hands in anger and unwillingly withdrew. Ji Tian Ning was carried away by two palace maids who had ordered the eunuchs to leave.

Ji Tian Ning was very curious. What was that concubine Lan trying to do? She was tricked into going to the Youlan Palace and even used knockout drugs. Could it be that she wanted to open a meat bun shop?

"Carry her a little further away. Don't get too close to the Youlan Palace. Go and undress her."

"Right, that little eunuch, are you ready?"

"Miss Lotus Harvester, everything is ready."

The faint fragrance rippled through the air. Under the swaying trees, the slender and lush blue grass flourished. There were all kinds of stones laid out on the ground. In the distance, one could vaguely see the faint ripples of a jade-green wave, sending a refreshing feeling over. Among the vines, a pavilion could be seen. It stood tall on the steps, and the trees supported it. It was an extremely scenic place.

Bamboo chairs and tables were placed in the pavilion, and all of the items were made of bamboo, exuding a natural fragrance that emitted a faint bamboo leaf fragrance.

On a piece of bamboo, his clothes had all faded, and his thin skin was tinged with traces of relaxation. The bun on her head was slightly loose, and her fair face had a hint of tenderness, which revealed her delicate and pretty appearance. Her long eyelashes were like a fan as they hung down on her eyelids. Her cherry lips were so beautiful that it could be eaten.

"Jade person, ah, that's not right!"

Just as Ji Tian Ning was lamenting, she discovered that even though the lady lying on the bed had a pretty face, she was still missing something. Although there were two faint red grains, they were like the color of an airport, and didn't bulge at all. She stealthily lowered her gaze. This was also a beautiful scene.

Suddenly, Ji Tian Ning almost coughed out something from between her legs.

"This little eunuch sure has a good appearance. If I were to give birth to a daughter, I could marry a good family and even become their concubine. What a pity …"

There was no pity in her tone at all. Instead, there was a sinister ridicule in her voice as she looked at the naked eunuch. "On the other hand, I can't see through her just because she's a pair with His Majesty's new daughter. This person's appearance in the palace can only be considered average. How could His Majesty fall in love with her?"

"Go ahead, master is still waiting for a reply."

Yunque said indifferently. It stood behind Lu Fei and shifted its gaze away. A trace of dissatisfaction flashed across Lü Fei's face, but she did not dare to say anything else. She placed her hand on Ji Tian Ning's body to remove Ji Tian Ning's clothes.

"What kind of clothes are these? They're so strange!"

She muttered to herself. Ji Tian Ning was wearing a silk T-shirt with only half a sleeve. The buttons on it caused Lu Fei to be conflicted for a long time. Greed appeared in her eyes. She already had the thought of buttoning up those buttons.

It was not her fault. After all, there were no buttons in this dynasty. Instead, there was a glass button that shone with a colorful luster. In her eyes, it was probably an unknown precious gem.

After having two of her buttons undone by Lu Fei, Ji Tian Ning was bared. A sinister glint appeared in Lü Fei's eyes as she reached out her hand towards the buttons on Ji Tian Ning's clothes.

Countess Lan had bewitched Ji Tian Ning just to frame Ji Tian Ning and make this woman, who was said to be a barbarian, lose her chastity in front of the reverse scale of fire. The imperial harem's rules were extremely strict. If anyone found out that Ji Tian Ning and the young eunuch were having an affair, they would be sentenced to death without pardon. The reason why she did so was because this barbarian woman, whom they had never met, had recently spread rumors in the imperial harem. It was said that she was adept at bewitching and could confuse men.

Her concubine had recently become a favorite, and her harem could be considered one of the best. Seeing that there was hope, she did not want any uncertain factors to ruin her plans.
