He hadn't thought that even the dog slave beside the empress would humiliate him so casually. He really couldn't take this lying down.

"Empress, drink some tea and calm your anger."

The maidservant hurriedly kowtowed, crying but not daring to speak.

"I will go right after I finish eating. Beautiful Yu, please wait for a moment!"

Lian Yun frowned, and waited for the messenger to leave before speaking up worriedly.

"Why would Master want to go? You don't have much of a relationship with Li Yu. I don't know what she's planning to do by inviting you out for no reason, but what if she wants to frame you?"

The more Lian Yun thought about it, the more scared she became. She kept having the feeling that Master shouldn't have agreed to this, and that she should push things a bit.

"It's fine. I originally did not have any intention to fight for their favors. Furthermore, I do not have any weaknesses, so there is no need for me to fear them. We should be more careful."

"That won't do. You should bring your servant along. If anything happens, your servant can protect master. At least, your servant can stand in front of master."

Lian Yun's words made Shen Qing Wan's heart warm. She looked at her maid's righteous face and couldn't help but want to laugh.

"You! This isn't some dangerous place. How can she eat me in this palace? Besides, I'm the imperial concubine. She doesn't dare to do anything to me."

"But you and Li Yu …"

"You, if you really can't be at ease, then come with me!" Shen Qing Wan brought Lian Yun and walked to the lakeside. From afar, she could see Li Rou constantly walking in the pavilion, and the anxiousness on her face couldn't be more obvious.

Liuyu also saw Shen Qingwan. She quickly walked over, bowed, and pulled her towards the pavilion.

Lian Yun watched her nervously from the side, afraid that she would do something bad.

"Liuyu, is it against the rules for you to pull me like this?" Shen Qingwan shook her hand off her sleeve.

"Please forgive me, Concubine Xian. This concubine has an important matter to discuss with the Empress, so I'm lacking in manners for a moment."

After hearing Shen Qingwan's words, Li Xiuran's face turned dark. She dug her fingers into her palms to calm her emotions and confess to Shen Qingwan.

Shen Qingwan didn't mind at all. She sat down on a stool and looked at her beautiful, red, and swollen face with some doubts.

Li Gui looked at her doubtful expression and felt pleased with herself. Although she was beaten up yesterday, the mama did not have that much strength, and the palm print was long gone. However, today, before she met the Consort Xian, she had purposely drawn it so that it would make him feel scared.

"Elder Sister Consort Xian probably knows about what happened yesterday. Yesterday, little sister accidentally bumped into esteemed empress, so she sent a mama by her side …"

"Forget it, I don't think I have any relationship with Gongyu. If you have any business with her, let's get straight to the point!"

Her face stiffened, and her expression became more and more sinister. She tried her best to suppress her anger.

"Hehe, then I won't beat around the bush. Although Elder Sister Consort Xian just arrived not long ago, I'm sure you know the Empress's actions, and your status is quite high. Father is also a General Shen, so you must have suffered a lot, right?"

Liuyu poured a cup of tea for Shen Qingwan and looked up at her expression. Her voice was soft but it carried a hint of malice. She just wanted to arouse Shen Qingwan's dissatisfaction towards the empress.

Your father is also an important subject in the imperial court and is highly trusted and trusted by the emperor. Could it be that your sister is willing to be under others and see her reaction? "" Yes.

Shen Qingwan looked at her and thought in her heart. It seemed that Liuyu was here to form an alliance with her, but she didn't like fighting in the harem. Shen Qingwan lost interest for a moment and looked at the carp in the lake with a bored expression.

Liuyue thought that she could make Shen Qingwan join her faction, but before she could hear Shen Qingwan's reply, she called out to her again.

"Elder sister, elder sister …"

Lian Yun looked at his own mistress staring at the lake in a daze, and gently pulled on her sleeve.

"Ah, oh, has Aroma finished?" Shen Qing Wan came back to her senses, looking at the unsightly expression on her face, she looked extremely annoyed.

As she spoke, she felt a little bored and said, "I have no intention of fighting. I just want to live a peaceful life in the harem. I am not interested in those words of yours."

"Empress, could it be that you want to live a stable life, while others will let you live a stable life?" As the Fourth Concubine, I'm afraid that many people will view you as a thorn in their side. Even if you don't want to fight, the waves in the harem will never die because of your thoughts. "

She thought that even if Shen Qing Wan didn't think for her sake, she would still have to think of her own father. She didn't believe that Shen Qing Wan was really that noble. Which one of them in the harem dared to say that they were completely clean?

"Even if you don't think for yourself, think for the general's estate. Think for your people as well. Since ancient times, the previous dynasty and the imperial harem were inseparable. Do you think that if you were framed by evil villains, your relatives would be spared? " Li Yu was deep in thought, but her mouth didn't seem to be affected by his words as she looked at him uneasily.

Shen Qingwan remained silent for a moment. She did not agree, but said that and pulled Lian Yun along.

"The Emperor wishes for peace and harmony in the harem."
