"Empress, Empress!" "Something terrible has happened..."

Yu Er's sharp and ear-piercing cry was transmitted into Xiao Qing Huan's ears. After which, the door was opened with a 'bang' sound. The wooden door was almost knocked to pieces.

"What is it?"

Yu'er was so anxious that she was about to cry, but seeing that Owner was unconcerned, she simply kneeled down and kowtowed continuously, begging for mercy!

Not long after, his head was covered with red marks as he kept repeating:

"Empress, this servant begs you. Quickly find a place to hide …"

Xiao Qing Huan sighed softly. Her clear and cold voice sounded as good as new, "Why don't you tell me where I should hide?"

The empress dowager's palace was even worse than a cold palace. The walls were desolate and the water in the lotus pond had long since dried up, releasing a stench that hadn't been cleaned in a long time.

Other than a bed and a cabinet, there was nothing else in the room.

When Yu Er heard this, she reacted and looked around with tears in her eyes.

This slave was rather loyal, but too stupid. She still needed to be taught.

Xiao Qinghuan tied up the bandage on her arm tightly. Ever since she had arrived here due to an accident and inherited the original owner's memories, she had been waiting day after day for this Imperial Concubine Qin to come knocking on her door.

Now that she had finally made it here, not to mention nowhere to hide, even if she could hide, she would absolutely not hide!

Just as he put down the eyebrow pencil, he heard the Palace Mistress announce, "Imperial Concubine has arrived!"

Yu'er's body froze as she hurriedly got up. She rushed to the door and bowed, "This servant greets the Empress, Imperial Concubine is thousands of years old!"

"What about your Master who fell into the river before he died?"

Qin Yuyou was wearing a gorgeous red dress with a large peony embroidered with golden threads. The peonies were stacked layer by layer, and they matched well with the pearls of the South Sea. A white fox skin covered her neck, making her beautiful face look even more white and delicate.

With a tap of her red lips, a red mole made of cinnabar appeared between her eyebrows. With her eyes still high up in the air, she walked straight into the room. When she saw Xiao Qing Huan sitting upright, she snorted from her nose, "Oh? It seems that Elder Sister's injury is not deep. I can actually make out her reflection in the mirror!"

"Ha!" Xiao Qing Huan turned her body and laughed coldly. She looked at Qin Yu You's face and said, "You still know that I am an elder sister. Since you do, why don't you greet me?"

Her purple dress was already somewhat pale, her hair was jet-black, with a simple half of it folded. The remaining part of her thin back, which was draped with a white pummelo seed, was carelessly tied up. Accompanied by her cold and detached gaze, she seemed like a celestial being looking down on the world with a gaze that did not even get a speck of dust.

He quickly adjusted himself and walked in front of Xiao Qing Huan. He pointed at her nose and scolded, "You want me to pay my respects to you? Why don't you see what kind of virtue you have and why are you worthy?"

"Sister, it's not up to you to decide if I deserve it or not. If my conduct is lacking, my sister can report it to the emperor and let him cripple my successor." "But..." As she spoke, she stood up and swept her gaze over the phoenix hairpin that was on Qin Yuyou's head. She pulled it out with one hand and carefully examined it between her fingers. "I haven't taken off the phoenix throne in a single day. Little sister, you will always be my concubine."

"You …"

"I like this phoenix hairpin very much, so I'll thank you, sister."

Xiao Qing Huan passed the hairpin to Yu Er without waiting for Qin Yu You to speak.

Yu'er's body was like a sieve as it trembled uncontrollably. Seeing the sudden ominous glint in Qin Yue's eyes, she quickly kneeled on the ground and begged for forgiveness: "Imperial Concubine, please spare my life. My wife was frightened and has not recovered. Please don't mind her. Yu'er kowtowed to you!"

Qin Yuyou had no place to vent her anger to begin with, so Yu'er's kneeling had obviously hit the nail on the head. She kicked Yu'er in the face and scolded, "Slut! You think you can touch my clothes? "

After speaking, he glanced at his personal maid, Ju He.

Chu He immediately understood. He rushed over and grabbed Yu'er's hair, and slapped her in her face!

Unfortunately, after only two or three hits, his arm was tightly grasped by a hand and was unable to move.

Chu He raised his head and looked at Xiao Qinghuan, "Esteemed Empress, the maidservants in your room aren't sensible. Imperial Concubine will help you teach them a lesson. What are you doing?"

After he had finished, his arm struggled down, but was firmly restrained and unable to move.

Seeing this, Qin Yuyou shot a glance at the palace maid behind her and said, "Elder sister is not fully recovered yet and her body is still very weak. If these blind hands and feet hit elder sister, what should we do?"

Before the palace maid who came forward to help could touch her, she raised her hand forcefully and Chu He fell towards the people who came forward to help. After falling a few times, they all grimaced in pain but didn't dare to make a sound.

Qin Yuyou was both angry and anxious. She didn't understand how the cowardly Xiao Qinghuan had turned into her current appearance. "You dare to hurt my people?"

Yu Er was helped to her feet as she stood in front of Xiao Qing Huan, trembling.

"Heh, I'm ignorant and ill-informed. I actually didn't know that Imperial Concubine Qin was the strongest in the harem. Once I see the empress dowager tomorrow, I'll ask if the rules of Jia Lan have always been like this." Xiao Qing Huan avoided the topic of hurting others and instead spoke of the rules.

Empress Dowager Jia Lan was the previous emperor's empress of the cold palace, and hated these empress wives the most.

Hearing her words, Qin Yuyou's expression suddenly changed. She forced herself not to continue.

Xiao Qing Huan laughed coldly a couple of times. She called Yu Er over and whispered a couple of words in a soft voice.

Yu Er's eyes suddenly widened. She was just about to open her mouth when Xiao Qing Huan interrupted her, "What? You're not going to listen to what I say? "

Qin Yu You forced a laugh: "Is the empress letting her beloved palace maid escape? The direct princess of Sakyamuni is only so-so, my sister is tired today, so she will take her leave first. "

As he spoke, he prepared to leave.

"Sister, don't go. There'll be a good show later." Xiao Qing Huan put down the teacup after saying this. She knocked on the broken table and a clear sound appeared.

As soon as his voice fell, the eunuch shouted at the top of his lungs, "The emperor has arrived!"
