Maid's Counterattack

This wave of conspiracies did not come so soon. At this time, Zi Luo was beaten with a whip, and the pain was already numb. Fortunately, she hadn't fainted yet, and she didn't admit what she hadn't done because of the pain.

"stop?"

The emperor's voice came to his ears, no matter the emperor is true or not, as long as he can save himself now, Zi Luo will be grateful.

"Emperor? Why are you here?"

The imperial concubine hurried from the house to the yard, and after one glance at the bead embroidery, she knew why the emperor had come.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xi embroidered disrespectful words in the embroidery."

The noble concubine hurriedly sued Yuefu.

"Your Majesty, that is the unfinished embroidery piece of the imperial concubine's empress, who said it was for the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration, so she handed it over to us to continue embroidering."

Seeing Yuefu's hesitation, Ziluo spoke first.

"Presumptuous, you spout blood."

The imperial concubine gritted her teeth with hatred.

"Okay, stop arguing, I will make my own decision."

The emperor scolded loudly.

The imperial concubine squinted at Yue Fu, rolled her eyeballs, and did not speak again.

"Get up."

The emperor saw Yue Fu who was still kneeling on the ground and said, Zi Luo was also let down, and Zhu Xiu stepped forward to support the weak Zi Luo.

"I will send someone to investigate today's matter. Now they are all gone. What should I do?"

No one dared not listen to the emperor's words, so the imperial concubine could only leave Yitongxuan bitterly, Zi Luo felt that the emperor still liked Yue Fu, after all, in the eyes of outsiders, he favored Yue Fu now.

"Don't bother with her, after all, she is a noble concubine, and her father is a hero of the court."

I don't know if what the emperor said was to comfort Yuefu or to rescue the noble concubine.

"The concubine understands and won't care about it."

Yue Fu lowered his eyebrows and looked down, very obedient, the emperor nodded in satisfaction.

"By the way, I just have something to tell you. Tomorrow, I will hold a family banquet in Xuan Ningxuan. Several princes and family members will also come. You should also attend."

The emperor continued.

"Yes, the concubine will definitely arrive on time."

Yue Fu replied.

"Yuefu, don't always be polite in front of me, you are my concubine."

The emperor held Yue Fu's hand. Although Yue Fu was a little uncomfortable, he still didn't pull out his hand and let the emperor hold it.

The emperor sat for a while and then left, Yuefu hurriedly sent someone to call the imperial doctor to treat Ziluo, just like that, Ziluo's old injury just happened to be newly injured, even walking staggeringly.

"Zi Luo, calling you to the palace actually hurt you."

Yue Fu looked at Zi Luo who was lying on the bed with some guilt.

"Your Majesty, don't blame yourself. You only think about me, but I can't repay you."

Ziluo resisted the pain and said.

"Tomorrow, I, I..."

Zi Luo falters and writes.

"I know, you want to see Shuangyue, but even though the prince will come, he will just bring the eldest lady into the palace."

Yue Fu understood her thoughts.

"Let's see the situation tomorrow, and I will help you find out about Shuangyue's situation."

Yue Fu said.

"Thank you madam."

Ziluo and Yuefu's words ended here, and then Ziluo fell into a drowsy sleep until dawn the next day.

At this moment, she didn't feel much pain in her body, and the imperial physician's medicine was really effective, thinking about it, Zi Luo was already pacing slowly in the room.

"Zi Luo, we are about to set off, you should rest in the house before your body recovers."

Yue Fu stood at the door, said a word, and left.

"Yes, ma'am, be careful."

Ziluo reminds Yuefu not to be framed by the imperial concubine like last time, although she also wants to go, but her current state is really not good.

After Yue Fu left with the bead embroidery, she was bored and suddenly wanted to see Fang Xin, so she also quietly left Yi Tong Xuan.

She followed the route in her memory to the small courtyard where Fang Xin lived, hesitated for a moment and went in.

"Ah, ha, I got you."

Fang Xin's sudden yell startled Zi Luo, who saw Fang Xin with disheveled hair running around in the yard, or seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with others.

"Ma'am, I brought delicious snacks."

Zi Luo whispered that the maid beside her was not there at this time, it was a good time for her to chat with Fang Xin, so Zi Luo simply found a place and sat down, watching Fang Xin gobble up the food she brought. Dim Sum, talking about what he experienced after leaving the Zhao Mansion.

"Ah, what a disaster, my lord."

Fang Xin suddenly jumped to her side and said such a sentence, Zi Luo was a little scared for a moment, after all, he was alone with a lunatic.

"What is difficult?"

Ziluo tried to ask.

"Shh, no need."

Fang Xin put a finger in front of her mouth, Zi Luo sometimes felt that she was not crazy, but pretending to be crazy.

"Do you know the emperor's secret?"

Zi Luo approached her boldly and whispered.

"Fake, you are a dummy."

Fang Xin murmured, but it made Zi Luo more sure that Fang Xin must be pretending to be crazy. She could understand her question and be able to answer it. Although what she said was unreliable on the surface, it was true. She must have something unspeakable to pretend to be crazy.

"Ma'am, what should I do?"

Zi Luo tentatively asked another question.

"Escape, run away."

Fang Xin pushed Ziluo, about to push her out of the courtyard, when the maid serving her came back.

"Hey, you are the maid next to Empress Xi, right?"

The maid looked her up and down and said.

"Yes, Concubine Xi sent me to deliver some snacks, and this is for you."

Zi Luo took out a jade pendant from her sleeve, which she had prepared before, in case of emergencies.

"Oh, thank you, Concubine Xi."

The maid happily accepted it.

"I'll go back first, thank you for your hard work."

Zi Luo took one last look at Fang Xin and left the yard in a hurry.

On the way back to Yitongxuan, she was still thinking about Fang Xin, and inadvertently found herself passing Xuanningxuan, which was the place where the emperor mentioned to hold a family banquet.

Looking at the plaque, Zi Luo couldn't hold back, found a place to hide near Xuan Ningxuan, and waited until the family banquet was over, and someone came out from inside.

The first one to come out was the Third Prince. Sure enough, as Yue Fu said, the people around him were the concubine and the eldest lady, and Shuangyue did not come.

Afterwards, someone Zi Luo didn't know came out, who looked extraordinary, probably other princes.

"Brother Huang, I think His Majesty is very suspicious of us."

The prince with extraordinary temperament spoke.

"Shh, let's plan carefully."

The third prince bid farewell to the others.

Yuefu was the last one to come out, Ziluo left quietly after seeing it, and returned to Yitongxuan one step earlier.

"Ziluo, you must be bored."

After Yuefu came back, he first went to Ziluo's room to see her.

"It's okay, how is your mother?"

Zi Luo anxiously wants to know about the affairs of the Third Prince's residence.

"Don't worry, Shuangyue is fine, I found out from the prince's personal bodyguard."

Zi Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief, the person she has always been unable to let go, now seeing Fang Xin, Shuangyue is also one of them.
