Hearing this, Liu Dantong did not say a word. She was very clear on Huangfu Wushuang's intentions, so naturally, she would not fall for her schemes. Chu Jinfu received the hint but managed to suppress her anger and endured it. To avoid suspicion, Shen Qian did not say a word, and her words were immediately cut off, no one answering for a long time, it was extremely awkward.

"Big Sister Qing Huan, Queen Mother called me over just now and taught me a lesson. Queen Mother ordered me to apologize to you, Big Sister Qing Huan, please forgive me, okay?"

What a good way to mourn the soldiers. If he was careless with his words, wouldn't that mean that I, a lowly person, had taken Qiao Qiao's actions to bully the ruler?

"Princess, how could you say that? It was your daughter's fault. If your daughter wasn't so anxious, he wouldn't have ended up in such a state."

Hearing that, Huangfu Yunqian's face revealed a smile, and smiled at the First Prince and Huangfu Shu: "First Royal Brother, brother Third Brother, Big Sister Qing Huan has forgiven Qian Er, you guys have to prove it to me later."

The First Prince nodded helplessly. "If you're more careful next time and get rid of your disgrace, no one will be able to find out where you went wrong."

Hearing this, Fifth Prince Huangfu Hua laughed loudly, "What big brother said is wrong. If Qian Er can cure her disgrace, then she can still be Qian Er?"

When Huangfu Yunqian heard this, she angrily glared at Fifth Prince, and half laughed: "First Royal Brother, look at how Fifth Emperor is bullying me, you don't care!"

Hearing this, the First Prince laughed, but his gaze landed on Chu Qinghuan. Just now, he was still worried for her, but she was framed, so he wasn't able to help. The First Prince felt as if a knife was being twisted inside his heart. Normally, he was already used to seeing such methods, but once it happened to Chu Qinghuan, he could not stay calm.

It really was … Was he tempted?

On the other side, the children of the noble families and the eight thousand year old Ji Fengye had started to gamble wine. They even wanted to take liberties with them and had to sing a poem against the wine, but how many of them had talent in their stomachs? It was just a few crooked poems, but it couldn't even be compared to the poems of those few ladies from a while ago.

"Big Sister Qing Huan, it just so happens that Queen Mother has been researching Buddhist scriptures recently. 8000 years old and Young Master Shen said that you are favored by Monk Hong Yi the most, how about you stay in the palace with Queen Mother and explain Buddhist scriptures to him?"

Huangfu Yunqian gave a sweet smile, but deep down, Chu Qinghuan was secretly laughing: How could the feast of the Great Clan be a good one? Huangfu Yunqian actually used the Empress to pressure her, and thinking of her, it was impossible for him to go against her, it was really … Very annoying.

"I'm afraid that this subject's talent is shallow, and she's making a fool of herself in front of the Empress."

What I want is for you to make a fool of yourself! Huangfu Yunqian wanted to shout out loud, but she resisted the urge to, and laughed: "Of course not, I'll help you escape later. There are many fun places in the palace, I'll accompany you to look around."

"That's right, second sister. It's rare for the princess to be so relaxed and elegant."

[If I don't agree, you are saying that you don't know what's good for you?] After giving a deep glance at Chu Jinxiu, Chu Qinghuan finally said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then respectfully do as you wish."

In the carriage, the eight thousand year old who was watching the many noble sons and disciples drink their wine couldn't help but narrow their eyes as they heard what was said. A hint of a cold smile flashed across their eyes, "Why is Crown Prince not drinking in peace?

Hearing that, the wine cup in Shoukang Count Zhuang Mingjie's hand trembled, and he immediately said: "Prince doesn't need to speak any nonsense, it's just that we are having a fun time here, and have made the Miss Xue cold. That isn't really good, right?"

The Miss Xue he spoke of, who else could it be other than Xue Jinlian? Immediately, everyone turned to look, only to see Xue Jinlian leaning on a Tai Hu Stone beside the Tai Lu Pool as if she was drunk, as if she was extremely likely to fall down at any moment.

Seeing this, the few noble sons were all amused, "Yo, if she fell into the water, wouldn't Jinlian become a sleeping lotus?"

The girls all looked over to the other side. They were all happy about his misfortune and said with a low voice, "To be able to sleep like this in front of such a big crowd, how unruly."

"Isn't it? I wonder how Madame Jinguo taught her. "

Just as she was speaking, Xue Jinlian seemed to have woken up and wobbled over. It was just that when Chu Qinghuan called out to her, she turned a deaf ear, as if she did not hear him.

"Miss Xue, Miss Xue?"

Chu Qinghuan called a few more times, but still did not receive a reply. She could not help but become anxious, but heard someone say, "Oh no, Miss Xue has suffered from sleepwalking!"

Just as she finished speaking, she saw Xue Jinlian suddenly stopped in her tracks. She opened her mouth and slapped a girl's face a few times.

"Why aren't you pulling her away?" The girl who was beaten up couldn't react in time and could only forcibly endure it. The girl in the yellow dress beside her couldn't help but cry out for help.

"No, this disease of sleepwalking has always been a disease that cannot be awakened."

"Then what should we do?" Seeing that her good sister had been beaten to the point that her cheeks were swollen, the girl in the yellow dress couldn't help but cry out in worry.

"I can only wait until Miss Xue wakes up."

It would have been fine if someone else had said such a thing, but the girl in the yellow dress was crying. She didn't dare to say a word.

In the time it took to boil a cup of tea, Xue Jinlian suddenly lowered her hand as if she had just awoken from a dream, and her entire body immediately fainted.

As if woken up by the cries, Xue Jinlian slowly opened her eyes. She saw two people, whose faces were swollen like a pig's head and whose eyes were red like a rabbit's, glaring at him. Xue Jinlian could not help but ask in shock, "What happened to Miss Qin and Miss Feng?"

Miss Qin was the unlucky fellow who had been toasted by Xue Jinlian for the duration of half a cup of tea. Miss Feng was the girl dressed in a goose yellow dress.

"Isn't the Miss Xue suffering from the disease of sleepwalking? Look at this cruel person who destroyed flowers, she is even more ruthless than our Regional Commander." The eight-thousand-year-old sighed, looking at Miss Qin's swollen face that was unsightly to the eye. He quickly turned his gaze away. It was truly unbearable to look at, and it had ruined his mood.

"Why aren't you calling the royal physician? If Miss Qin's face is ruined, can you afford it? "

This shout scared Young Eunuch and he immediately ran over to the main hospital, but the First Prince and Huangfu Yunqian both tensed up, especially Huangfu Yunqian.

Right before the Empress had left, she had instructed her to greet the young miss of the various families, and now that Xue Jinlian was openly talking to the only daughter of Assistant Minister, if he did not appear now, he would most likely be punished by the Empress Liu.

"Miss Xue, how could you do such a thing?!"

On the side, Liu Dantong and Chu Qinghuan had already explained the "cause and effect" to Xue Jinlian, thus, facing Huangfu Yunqian's questioning, Xue Jinlian remained calm and composed, "It is this subject's negligence, my old illness has not flared up in these past few days, but I did not expect that after drinking my wine and losing my composure, I still have a few medicinal ingredients, so I sent them to Miss Qin's residence to apologize."

However, the young miss of the Qin family felt bitter and could not speak. Just now, she told her cousin that there was no upbringing in the Miss Xue, but unexpectedly, she found a way to teach him a lesson.

The imperial physician arrived quickly, but it was not good for him to let Miss Qin see her injuries in public. Even Xue Jinlian went along with her to the Occult Pavilion, which was the closest to the Supreme Liquid Pool. Because, Xue Jinlian's hand was also swollen.

The reason why Chu Qinghuan smeared the medicine on Xue Jinlian's hand was because the beating was too forceful, causing even the Ministry of War Assistant Minister's Miss Qin's face to swell up.

"This Three Birds of the Stone's plan is indeed not bad, but I don't know if your hand will be better protected."

Hearing that, Xue Jinlian was not surprised, she only looked at the red and swollen palm, and said indifferently: If I were to be bullied by them today, how would I have the face to see mother?

Chu Qinghuan's heart trembled when she heard this. That's right, she had lost her mother when she was young, and her father had treated him as nothing. Although Xue Jinlian had a mother's love for him, but even though the Madame Jinguo had a big reputation, it still attracted a lot of gossip and gossip.

In a high position, it's easy to be the topic of gossip after meals and tea. Besides, the young couple from the Jin Dynasty are widows, and they've earned this family business. How could they not gossip?" In fact, many later on, people believed that the Lady Jin was merely Emperor Xuan Wu's outer chamber, while Xue Jinlian was a roaming Pearl Princess.

Xue Jinlian was Xuan Wu's eight-year, four-month-old stranger, and on the summer of Xuan Wu's eighth year, Emperor Xuanwu was managing the imperial government in the capital. He didn't have the time to create a princess who was left behind.

As for the three orders that Emperor Xuanwu had made to allow the Madame Jinguo to enter the capital, it was to control all of the powers within the Madame Jinguo in his hands, and the most convenient one was to grant Xue Jinlian a marriage, or even … Let Xue Jinlian enter the palace.

However, Xue Jinlian's actions today, would probably cause the noble sons and juniors who wanted to get married with the Madame Jinguo Palace to think twice before they leave: The disease is so severe, if I were to be angered by it, I will be chopped to death. I don't even know how I will be able to see the King of Hell, right?

Those inner and outer wives probably lost their will to recruit such a wife who was covered in gold and silver. After all, if he were to marry someone as shrewd and ruthless as his master, he would be willing to become the next head of his family.

"Besides, it's just a bit of suffering. Since I can stay in the palace for one or two nights, why not?"

Chu Qinghuan was shocked when she heard it, she did not control the power in her hands well, causing Xue Jinlian to feel pain.

She knew that Xue Jinlian had purposely changed the topic, but she was still extremely excited deep down. Up till now, she was the only one who was fighting alone, even though Chu Jinfu had helped her multiple times, but Chu Qinghuan still couldn't help but to be on guard.

After all, Chu Jinfu would never be able to separate herself from her own flesh and blood. No matter what, she was First Madame's flesh and blood that was born in October. Maybe it was a chess piece that was hidden in the First Madame, waiting for the right time to get rid of him.

What kind of person was Xue Jinlian? She had placed the most importance on one person, yet he had allied with her. Yet, she was unable to give her any benefits.

"I did." Xue Jinlian made his stance clear in a few words, and Chu Qinghuan finally calmed down after hearing it.

No matter if Xue Jinlian wanted benefits or her friendship, he was determined to befriend this ally of hers.

The two of them held each other's hands tightly, but outside the door, a clamor suddenly sounded out, "I would like to know how Madame Jinguo taught her. How unruly, to actually let her enter the palace, aren't you afraid of scaring the emperor?"
