Although she had been grounded for the past few days, Mrs Zhao had been keeping a close watch on her. Today, she vaguely sensed that something was amiss. She chased even faster. They all wanted to seize this opportunity to ask for credit from their mistress.

"Miss has slept for so long, is she sick? Open the door and let me in. "Alright, inform the woman as soon as possible and ask the doctor to come take a look." As she spoke, she gradually approached the door. Her hand was already on the door, ready to push it open.

"What are you yelling for!" The door opened from the inside, and the red-sleeved man was blown away by the wind. He fell into Xue Ruyun's room, lying on the ground in a sorry state.

"It wasn't easy for you to get some sleep, so you just kept on yelling outside. When did I hear Yu Xuan become a place that servants like me can go in and out of? "You disturbed my sweet dreams. Tomorrow, I'll tell my master and tell you to go eat the board." Xue Ruyun reprimanded.

Red Sleeves was lying on the ground, enduring the pain on his arm as he turned around. He saw Xue Ruyun stroking her red skirt. Her hair was loose, and she was staring at her with a deathly stare. Her hair was standing on end, and there was nowhere for her to run.

"Your servant is guilty, Miss, I beg of you to spare my life." As if she had seen a ghost, she quickly slammed her hand down on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Your servant saw Miss sleeping in her room for a long time and was worried that Miss's health was not well, so I came in to take a look. I didn't mean to disturb Miss's rest." As he begged for mercy, he spoke out in a dignified tone.

Forget it, these servants were also ordered by others, they were not willing to do anything by their own will. Xue Ruoyun was too lazy to waste his breath on them.

"F * ck off." Red Sleeves quickly left.

"Miss, it was so close just now. If you had been even a little bit late, Madame would have caught hold of something." After Hong Xiu left, Yun Zhi patted her chest. She still had some lingering fear in her heart.

"Rest assured, isn't this fine?" "It's just that there was an accident today. Otherwise, they wouldn't have discovered us if we had come back earlier." In his heart, Xue Luoyun was secretly complaining about Mu Ying.

"What!" When Her Majesty heard of the spy's arrival, she became furious and threw away her teacup.

"Ying'er has actually been pointed at by a sword at the neck in the market, who would be so daring! This Dowager wants to exterminate his entire clan. "

"Your subordinate doesn't know who it is, but since the person was kidnapped by the prince, your subordinate estimates the consequences wouldn't be good." When the spy saw that the Empress was furious, he quickly added, adding a lot of speculations.

When the empress dowager heard this, her expression eased a lot.

"Oh right, how is the investigation on the matter that I told you to do previously?" Her Majesty suddenly remembered something important and asked.

The spy took out a paper and handed it over to Senior Servant Gui with both hands. Senior Servant Gui then handed the paper to the empress dowager. Her Majesty's face turned ashen when she saw it. Senior Servant Gui and the spy quickly crouched on the ground when they saw this. "Please calm your anger in the future."

"I'll tell you what he's been busy with these past few days. He really was enchanted by this Xue Ruyun. After he dismissed the spies, the empress dowager handed the paper to Senior Servant Gui.

Senior Servant Gui took a close look at the paper. It was full of the attention paid to Xue Poyun by Prince Fu during this period of time.

"Then what does the empress dowager intend to do?" Senior Servant Gui asked probingly. She knew that she was still interested in her adopted daughter, Princess Changle.

"Tomorrow, take my plate, go to the Prime Minister's Estate, and summon this Xue Luoyun to the palace. I would like to see what kind of person she is. "

"Yes."

On the morning of the second day, Xue Luoyun was called into the great hall. Having learned her lesson from last time, Mrs Zhao no longer dared to obstruct her, fearing that it would deepen Senior Servant Gui's loathing for her.

"Senior Servant Gui, may I ask why you're looking for me?" Upon seeing Senior Servant Gui's arrival, Xue Luoyun respectfully asked in a low voice.

"This little hoof, she's usually like a shrew to us. But in front of the people in the palace, she's actually quite good at pleasing us." Mrs Zhao and Xue Lian looked at each other; their gazes were already filled with jealousy towards Xue Ruoyun.

"The empress dowager has decreed that you will ignore entering the palace tomorrow." Senior Servant Gui knew that coming to the palace tomorrow was not a good thing for Xue Muyun, but the last time she saw Mrs Zhao make things difficult for her, she didn't want to let them mock her. Thus, she acted like she was summoning happy events to show them.

Mrs Zhao stood to the side. Seeing the expression on Senior Servant Gui's face, she was sure that something good had happened. Thinking back to the last time when they had broken off the engagement, she had said that the empress dowager would pick a husband for Xue Muyun, so he guessed that this attack had something to do with this matter. Thinking to that point, she secretly pulled at the fingernail under her sleeve. This Xue Ruoyun was blocking her daughter's way everywhere. Who knew what kind of fortune she had cultivated in her previous life that she would have such a good life in this life.

"This subject shall obey, but … This subject's daughter is still grounded, I'm afraid … " As Xue Ruyun spoke, he intentionally looked in Duan Ling Tian's direction.

Senior Servant Gui looked towards Xue Duan Sheng when she heard what he said. This Senior Servant Gui was a popular person by the empress dowager's side. She'd served the empress dowager for many years, so her status was beyond doubt. If he provoked her, he'd be going against the empress dowager. Even though Xue Duan Sheng's position was high, he had no choice but to give the empress dowager some face. He immediately instructed, "Since the empress dowager has an edict, all you have to do is enter the palace. "Considering that you've been being so well-behaved in the past few days, I guess you've already realized your wrongs, so you're going to lift the ban."

Xue Ruyun's forehead moved, joy rising from his brows. He was finally free.

"What did you say the Empress Mother wanted me for?" Listening inside the Rain Pavilion, Xue Ruoyun could not understand no matter how much she thought about it. According to the original owner's vague memories, she did not have much interaction with this empress dowager.

Forget it, let's not think about it anymore. Let's just wash up and sleep.

However, as he laid on the bed, no matter who, he would not show up. When he thought about personally seeing the real Imperial Palace tomorrow, he couldn't help but feel a bit excited in his heart.

The next day, Xue Ruyun was wearing a light green long skirt with a pure white floating yarn. Her light makeup was simple and clean, giving her a fresh and refined appearance.

Within the palace, the empress dowager sat majestically with Princess Changle by her side when she heard that Xue Ruyun was coming.

"This subject's daughter greets the Empress Dowager." Xue Luoyun gracefully lowered his head in salute.

"Raise your head." Only after hearing the empress dowager's voice did Xue Ruyun dare to raise his head.

The empress dowager was shocked when she saw Xue Ruyun raise her head. This Xue Ruyun was about the same as her mother when she was young, a beauty that could topple empires and topple empires. In addition to the spiritual light that flickered in her eyes, this woman must be extremely intelligent and had some ulterior motives. With one look, the empress dowager sighed, "It really captivates one's soul. It's a photographic memory."

When Chang Le, who was standing at the side, heard that Mu Ying was paying attention to the girl, he was already dissatisfied. I heard that her looks are outstanding, one in a million. Princess Changle was secretly laughing. Perhaps it was because everyone was short-sighted and had never seen any peerless talents before, they purposely dressed up today to compete with everyone else.

However, after seeing her raise her head, Princess Changle immediately felt that her body had lost its luster and was ashamed of herself.
