The light in Chu Zongge's eyes was hazy, he was unable to discern the answer from his face, so he asked again: "Why is that so?"

"I have a lot of answers. Which one do you want to hear?"

Xue Ronghua said in a baffled manner: "I only have one question."

"But I have many answers." Chu Zongge saw that Xue Ronghua was annoyed, and immediately replied: "Alright, alright, I'm not able to answer this question right now, so I'll just wait until the time is right, since it's an answer that is beneficial to you."

Seeing that he had no intention to tell her the truth, Xue Ronghua could only let him do as he pleased.

Xue Longhu's birthday banquet had finally ended. After staying by his side for an entire day, he was finally able to return to his room to rest.

Little Zhui clapped her hands and praised: "Young miss has used this move extremely well, I'm afraid that when young miss is wearing it in the future, she will think of the event that happened today."

Xue Ronghua also admired herself for her intelligence, "Xue Liuhua has already been imprisoned in her room and can't even copy scriptures peacefully, so I can only help father with this matter, and let her be a little more obedient."

Little Zhui suddenly looked sad: "In the past, young miss was always making things difficult for young miss. She would often have servants bring tattered clothes for young miss to wear, causing young miss to catch a cold."

Indeed, it was something that only a woman like Xue Liuhua, a snake and a scorpion, would do. Xue Ronghua patted Little Zhui's head and sighed: "In the past, I … "Before, I thought the world would be at peace with me just because I had to endure. I didn't expect them to not let me go, so I had no choice …"

Since he was able to borrow Yuan Su's body to undergo rebirth, then he might as well end the things on her body as well.

Little Zhui looked at her emotionally, "Young miss, right now, Little Zhui really likes her. We don't have to be bullied by young miss and the young mistress anymore, it's better for us to be her servants."

Speaking of servants, Xue Ronghua thought of Caiyun, "Little Zhui, have you done well with the things I asked you to do?"

Little Zhui laughed: It's done, I bought the servant who was sent to execute her, and sent Caiyun back to the village.

Caiyun passed the message between Madam Ye and Xue Liuhua, becoming Yuan Su's accomplice in the past. However, this child himself probably didn't know what the mother and daughter were doing, so it was rather pitiful.

"Did you give her those bags of money?"

"I've already given it to her. Caiyun has so much money, so it's probably fine even if she doesn't do anything for three or four years."

Xue Ronghua nodded with gratitude, "That's good."

Little Zhui poured a cup of tea for her, and said carefully: "Miss, the sack of money that you brought back the other day, now you only have two hands left."

Xue Ronghua was so scared that she almost fell off her chair, "How is this possible?

Little Zhui counted with her fingers, "Young miss, you always go out to shop and eat, plus the money to make clothes, and the money to send Caiyun away …"

Xue Ronghua immediately opened the closet and took out the gunny sack. As she picked it up to take a look, indeed, it was light, only around 10 gold coins left.

"Alright, alright, I'll earn more if I don't have any more money. I think I should go out for a walk tomorrow." Xue Ronghua said a little embarrassedly as she thought of the fun and drinks she had had these past few days.

Little Zhui said a few words and then left.

Tonight, the moonlight was very beautiful, and the dark sky was filled with stars, so bright that it looked like little pearls in a dowry. As Xue Ronghua looked at the dissolved moonlight on the floor, a pair of pitch black eyes appeared in her heart.

What exactly is Chu Zongge thinking? Why did he want to marry me?

However, the moonlight within the Qi’s Imperial Palace was not that bright. The dark clouds covered up half of the bright moon, and only a few strands of soft light poured down. The lights in Yi Yuan Palace flickered. Su Rushuang took out a white jade hairpin from her hair and asked slowly: "Chen Xiang, has everything been settled?"

Chen Xiang replied, "In reply to the Empress, everything has been completed."

Su Rushuang nodded in satisfaction, "You didn't leave anything behind, did you?"

"This servant has matters to attend to. Empress, don't worry."

He only heard the Consort Xian in the backyard crying out in alarm, "Ah, someone come quickly, my child!"

Chen Xiang secretly laughed. "That little pavilion is very efficient."

Su Rushuang leisurely placed her hand on Chen Xiang's arm, and said: "Not bad, if you receive it from the palace, serve it in front of me."

The palace was suddenly brightly lit, and the servants and servants were thrown into chaos. Su Rushuang stepped into the palace methodically, and when she saw Consort Xian lying on the bed, her body slightly trembled.

"What's going on?"

The servant girl beside Consort Xian trembled and said, "Greetings, Consort Ru, Queen Consort Xian she …"

Su Rushuang helped Consort Xian, whose face was covered in tears, up from the bed, and asked worriedly, "What happened to big sister?"

Consort Xian bit her pale lips tightly. Su Rushuang looked at her lower body and saw that her legs were covered with blood that was reflected on the snow-white blanket.

"Ah, sister!" Su Rushuang turned and looked angrily at the servants on both sides, and scolded: "Since Big Sister is already like this, why don't you all quickly inform the imperial physicians, and inform the emperor!"

When the guard outside heard the voice, he replied, "Reporting to Consort Ru, the Emperor has decreed that there is no need to report to him about the Empress of Consort Xian."

Su Rushuang said anxiously: "Do you not care about the matters regarding the prince?"

The guard said, "This servant has already called the imperial physician."

An imperial physician with a goatee hurried over. Chen Xiang secretly tugged on her sleeve. She knew in her heart that this was what they had set up.

The imperial physician had the maidservants boil some medicine for the Consort Xian to feed and sighed, "I'm afraid that the Consort Xian's Dragon Embryo won't be preserved."

"What nonsense are you spouting? If you can't save the dragon embryo, I'll report it to the emperor and have you, a quack doctor, be buried with us!"

The imperial physician regretted saying, "Her body is weak, and she lost so much blood. Even if Hua Tuo were to die, he wouldn't be able to do anything."

The dying Consort Xian pulled at Su Rushuang's hand, propped up her body with much difficulty, and gasped: "Consort Ru, you … Get the emperor to come quickly... "Tell him about our child …"

Su Rushuang held her hand with deep feelings. "Elder sister, don't worry, I'll call the Emperor over now. You take care of it first, the dragon embryo will be fine."

The Consort Xian nodded weakly, then laid down again. Su Rushuang and the imperial physician looked at each other and left with ease.

Su Rushuang carefully dressed up before slowly coming to the Imperial Study. Meng Qianzhong saw that her face was filled with worry but was still brimming with energy, and said in his heart: "If you're talking about the Consort Xian, then there's no need for that, I knew long ago that her child was gone."

Su Rushuang said as her brows knitted tightly, "What a pity your Majesty's emperor’s kid …"

Meng Qianzhong said coldly: "Consort Xian's brother rebelled against me using her position and power. It's already good for me to leave her in the palace, she probably doesn't have any children."

Su Rushuang was secretly pleased and replied "Yes".

The chief eunuch, Chen Wanqian, who was standing beside Meng Qianzhong, entered the palace with a nervous expression. "Damn it!"

Su Rushuang jumped in shock, tears welling up in her eyes: "Even though she lost her child, she shouldn't have lost her life."

"Reporting to Consort Ru, Consort Xian's body was weak in the first place. In addition, she lost a lot of blood, and when she saw that her prince was no longer in her womb, she was so shocked that she fainted and never woke up again."

Meng Qianzhong cast a sidelong glance at her, and said: "Fourth Concubine is already lacking a Noble Consort, and now she lacks a Consort Xian. That old fellow is about to smash his mouth in front of us again."

Su Rushuang's heart thumped like a thunderstorm, but on the surface, she remained respectful and humble: "Sister Qi Fei is demure, Sister Li Fei is virtuous and virtuous, and Sister Zhuang Fei is demure and elegant, they are all very suitable candidates."

Meng Qianzhong saw that her faking of her face was extremely unnatural, and sneered a few times. "Your suggestion is not bad, then I shall promote Qi Fei to Consort Xian, and Li Fei to Noble Consort."

Su Rushuang's face turned white, she bit her lips and remained silent.

"Enough," Meng Qianzhong impatiently waved his hand, "Chen Wanqian."

"Your servant is here."

"If Consort Ru is promoted to Noble Consort, Consort Xian will …"

The Eunuch Chen continued, "Your Majesty, esteemed wangfei's maternal family has rendered meritorious services in Jiangnan."

Su Rushuang's eyes became cold. Wasn't she the same girl as Mu Langhua in the palace? Why was she still in the palace and not kicked out?

Meng Qianzhong asked Su Rushuang: "How's Cangfei?"

Su Rushuang revealed a worried expression. "She is too cold and aloof, she doesn't even interact with the concubines of the harem much. Besides, she and Mu Langhua …"

A trace of maliciousness flashed past Meng Qianzhong's eyes as he looked coldly at Su Rushuang, "Didn't we already say not to mention her name again?"

Su Rushuang was so scared that she quickly kneeled down and said uneasily, "Your concubine deserves to die!"

"That damnable person has already died. You can live on in peace."

The scene of Mu Langhua being pierced through to the heart appeared before her eyes. Su Rushuang said gently, "Your concubine has intentionally failed. Your majesty, please forgive me."

Meng Qianzhong turned over a page of the imperial edict in frustration, "Pass on my orders, promote Consort Ru to Noble Consort Ru, and upgrade Consort Jing to Consort Xian."

He glanced at Su Rushuang indifferently, "Alright, you've been busy all night and are already tired. Quickly go back to the Yi Yuan Palace to rest."

Su Rushuang was quite frightened by his sharp gaze a moment ago, and did not dare to say anymore, and immediately withdrew her Imperial Study.

When Chen Xiang saw his master enter, she very tactfully bowed and said, "Congratulations to the Noble Consort Empress."

Su Rushuang rubbed her head tiredly, "Get up, don't shout around in the palace."

"I thought the Empress always complained that the Yi Yuan Palace was a small place and could not store too many things. Now that I am a Noble Consort, I can move things into the Huayang Palace."

"This palace is more or less the same."

Chen Xiang took a cup of jasmine tea and handed it to him. "I heard that you've been promoted, too?"

Su Rushuang clenched her teeth: "This Eunuch Chen is really talkative, annoying." Meng Qianzhong was displeased with Mu Langhua on the outside, but the fact that he was immediately promoted to the position of the sisters and accompanied by a monarch like a tiger really made it difficult to guess what he was thinking.

"Since the Empress is a noble Noble Consort, there is no need to be afraid of the Eunuch Chen or Elder Li anymore."

Su Rushuang laughed disdainfully, "What does the Noble Consort matter? I am only a lowly person, I want to be the queen of the world."

"But the empress's place has been empty for so many years. The emperor doesn't seem to have any plans for the future."

Su Rushuang's eyes flashed with a cold light, "That's because I haven't come up yet."

Su Rushuang looked at Chen Xiang, "That goatee eunuch can't be left alive, call for the small pavilion to deal with him."

Chen Xiang blessed his body. "This servant understands."

Su Rushuang's hand was tightly holding onto the water caltrop mirror. The person in the mirror was as beautiful as a flower, but there was a faint trace of hatred.

However, the previous Empress, who was a hundred times stronger than herself, had been pulled down the Phoenix Position and died a miserable death in the palace. She, as the Noble Consort Ru, would definitely let her know the power of a Consort Xian who spent her days in the palace and never went out, and would not be able to sit still on the Fourth Concubine's seat for even a moment.

"Chen Xiang, you're being cautious …" Where does Consort Xian live? "

"The Consort Xian's Empress lives in a remote place, in the Jadefallen Palace at the Pingping Garden."

Su Rushuang's lips formed a cold smile, "Then I'll go meet the new Consort Xian tomorrow."
