She went to the East Palace to be a eunuch, and the prince became her subordinate.

"I'm not in good health yet, so my etiquette is not perfect. I think the imperial concubine should be considerate of me."

When she said this, her eyes were fixed on Concubine Lin, and she didn't look like she was afraid of offending anyone.

Warriors!
Ye Xuwan knew that Xu Zhaoyi's dissatisfaction with Concubine Lin was at its peak at this moment. As long as she gave her some more guidance, the matter would be settled.

Concubine Lin excused herself from the servant's courtesy and had a stern look in her eyes when she heard this, but she did not get angry. Instead, she looked at Xu Zhaoyi with a smile.

"What did Xu Zhaoyi say? You just gave birth not long ago. You don't have a long time to recuperate, so you are naturally weaker. Don't say that I don't understand you. Song'er came back a few days ago and brought some Jiangnan special food. If Xu Zhaoyi likes silk and satin, I will order two pieces to be sent to your palace."

Her words sounded considerate, but the sarcasm between the lines could overflow.

Xu Zhaoyi didn't give in much. She laughed out loud when she heard this. She looked at the tea in the cup and called the previous palace maid back without haste, "Shui'er, the tea is cold, please change it."

After saying that, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and his smiling eyes curled up.

"Then I would like to thank the imperial concubine for your love. Your Highness is a capable person. He went to the south of the Yangtze River to control the floods before, which was a great achievement. However, after hearing that your Majesty sent an adult to go there, I don't know if the floods happened again. My concubine was originally People from the south of the Yangtze River know very well when the flood season will come and go."

When this matter was mentioned, Concubine Lin couldn't bear it no matter how good her temper was.

She gave Ye Xuwan a cold look, smacked the table, and said angrily, "Xu Zhaoyi, I think you are not in a good mood because you are grieving the loss of your child. You tolerate you everywhere, but you go beyond your limits and don't put me in any situation." It’s in my eyes!”

Xu Zhaoyi clutched the tea cup in her hand tightly. She was not afraid.

But now that Concubine Lin has been offended, it would be better to offend her more thoroughly.

Just when Xu Zhaoyi was about to reply, Ye Xuwan gently tapped her chair under the table without leaving any trace.

Xu Zhaoyi glanced sideways, and when she caught sight of a figure, she quickly covered her heart, her eyes were red, and she could shed a few lines of tears at any time, "My dear concubine, I know that I have a humble background. I don't seek to be favored by your majesty, I just hope to be here." There is still a place to stand in the palace.”

She was choked when she spoke, and her thin figure made her look really pitiful.

"Now that I have no child, and because of my poor health, I cannot serve His Majesty and help His Majesty solve his problems. How could the Imperial Concubine speak so badly of my concubine..."

Concubine Lin guessed something immediately, her expression changed, and before she could speak, the emperor's voice came from outside.

"What's so noisy?"

Xu Zhaoyi quickly wiped away her tears and was about to kneel down when the emperor held her hand in vain, "Your Majesty..."

The emperor's eyes looked at Xu Zhaoyi with a touch of affection, "You are not in good health, so you don't need to be polite. Why are you dressed so thinly? Someone, bring that fox fur."

Concubine Lin almost broke her silver teeth when she saw this scene.

She never expected to be tricked by Xu Zhaoyi.

After Xu Zhaoyi was put on the fox fur, the emperor let a group of people stand on equal footing, and his eyes fell on Concubine Lin again, "What's going on?"

There was an intention behind the words to accuse Xu Zhaoyi.

Concubine Lin's eyes suddenly turned red, as if she had suffered a huge grievance, "Your Majesty, I am considerate of Xu Zhaoyi, but I think her health is not very good, so I want to persuade her to go back and rest."

"I also wanted to give Xu Zhaoyi two pieces of silk and satin that Song Er had paid homage to before, and asked her to make two pieces of clothes to change her mood, but Xu Zhaoyi misunderstood what I meant and felt that I was poking at her sore spot..." Concubine Lin had been by the emperor's side for so many years, and she had rarely felt so wronged, so her cry seemed extremely pitiful.

The emperor's expression softened a lot after hearing this, and he just patted Xu Zhaoyi's hand and said, "In that case, let's just say it. Concubine Lin is also thinking about your health."

Speaking of which, if Xu Zhaoyi still holds on to this, I'm afraid he will make the emperor unhappy.

Everyone present knew this.

Xu Zhaoyi's face was half hidden in the fox fur, and she apologized weakly to Concubine Lin, "I am ignorant and misunderstood the concubine. Please don't take it to heart."

Concubine Lin had a smile on her face and looked kind. "How could it be? Now you have to take care of yourself."

As she spoke, she cast her eyes on the emperor again, with a bit of coquettishness in her brows, and said angrily: "Your Majesty has not been to my concubine's palace for several days. Song'er said yesterday that she wanted to eat my concubine's cooking. The fresh lotus root soup is ready, and I thought that since I have to cook, if your Majesty is free today, you might as well come to my place for dinner."

She was used to being dignified and decent, but occasionally she showed a bit of a feminine look, which made the emperor smile.

"Then go and sit in your palace."

Xu Zhaoyi's face changed slightly when she heard this, but she also knew that now was not the time for her to invite favors, so she could only lower her eyebrows and remain silent.

Concubine Lin was happy. She said that Mo Qingsong happened to have something to discuss with the emperor, so she sent the emperor away first with a few words.

As soon as the emperor left, all the undercurrents just now turned into overt unhappiness.

Concubine Lin looked down at Xu Zhaoyi, her tone full of accusations, as if she could slap her at any time.

"I misjudged you. I thought I would bring you up with one hand. You should know what it means to repay a favor. If it weren't for me, you could still sell the cheap stuff you beat to death at will."

Xu Zhaoyi clutched the fox fur tightly, and even her fingertips were trembling with anger when she heard this, "It's a pity, the imperial concubine has nothing to do with the concubines now."

Hearing this, Concubine Lin seemed to have heard something funny, her lips slightly raised, but she looked at Xu Zhaoyi with eyes like a poisonous snake.

"Really? Do you really think that the prince can protect you?" Concubine Lin said this with full of malice, which made people feel cold all over. "Should I say that you are naive or stupid?"

"This harem is now under my control. You can do whatever I want you to do. If you don't believe me, just watch."

Concubine Lin suddenly raised her hand and pinched Xu Zhaoyi's chin, forcing her to raise her head, "You are just a dog raised by me. If I want you to live, you will live. If I want you to die, no one can save you."

After that, she didn't even look at Xu Zhaoyi's reaction. She raised her hand and ordered someone to drive him back to the palace.

Ye Xuwan hurriedly helped Xu Zhaoyi up and whispered: "Empress Zhaoyi, if you really want to take refuge in His Highness, His Highness will definitely not let you suffer in vain."

Xu Zhaoyi said nothing.

Now she and Concubine Lin were completely at odds with each other. If she didn't take refuge with Mo Yunzheng, she would have no choice but to wait for death.

Ye Xuwan was relieved in her heart. She was not sure at first, but who knew that Xu Zhaoyi would break up on the spot as soon as she was stimulated by Concubine Lin.
