Eunuch Xiaoquan led the group of guards to check the East Wing where Lady Lan lived according to the rules, and smiled respectfully, "Lady, I will take them to the West Wing now, sorry to bother you."

Xu Donglan smiled softly, turned her head and told the maid, "Go and lead the way for the father-in-law."

"Yes."

"Thank you, my dear." Eunuch Xiaoquan nodded politely with a smile.

"Sister Lan, there's no need to bother leading the way. I'm here now, aren't I?" A sarcastic voice came from Concubine Xiang's mouth.

Yu Linlang hid stealthily behind the eaves and cast a glance at the swaying figure of Concubine Xiang.

That little waist is twisted so badly that it might break right there...

Yu Linlang glanced at Xu Donglan quietly again. The latter smiled and nodded at Xiang Guiren, as if she didn't take her cockfighting expression seriously.

No matter how you look at it, Donglan is more gentle, kind and likable.

In the palace fighting drama, Concubine Xiang is most likely a brainless villain who won't survive more than three episodes.

"Meet Noble Xiang."

"Eunuch Xiaoquan, what are you doing in the middle of the night?" Concubine Xiang held her chin high, with an attitude that showed she was right.

"So that you can know it." Eunuch Xiaoquan repeated what he said before, in a businesslike manner, with a smile on his face all the time, and his attitude was very humble.

The eunuchs who have been in the palace for many years know best that it is better not to offend anyone than to offend people everywhere.

In this deep palace where people are cruel and ruthless, the best way is to be humble and cautious.

Although the two nobles in front of him are of neither high nor low status, the girl has a promising future.

However, after just a month, he was noticed by the emperor. Not only was his rank promoted, but he also had a tendency to gain favor.

If I don't try to curry favor with them, will I offend them?

Xiang Guiren waved her handkerchief casually, "Okay, okay, there are no suspicious people in my courtyard, I am not afraid of letting you search at will."

"Xiao Xizi."

"The slave is here."

"Take Eunuch Xiaoquan and the others over there. I am a nobleman with a clear conscience and I have nothing to fear from my own shadow. Go ahead and investigate."

"Yes!"

Eunuch Xiaoquan also cooperated with a flattering smile, "Thank you very much for your sympathy, thank you very much."

After the eunuch Xiao Xizi led Eunuch Xiao Quan and others to the west courtyard, Concubine Xiang turned her head and looked down at Xu Donglan who was turning around and about to leave.

"You stop."

Concubine Xiang shouted in a domineering tone.

Xu Donglan didn't want to quarrel with her in the middle of the night, so she stopped and turned to look at her, her face gentle, "Is there anything else, Concubine Xiang?"

"You did it on purpose just now." Concubine Xiang raised her chin and glanced at Xu Donglan, snorting and laughing, "You want to wrongly accuse me. You want Eunuch Xiaoquan and the others to catch me and send me to the eighteenth level of hell!"

Xu Donglan looked puzzled. She looked at Xiang Guiren, who looked like she was being persecuted, and said calmly, "Xiang Guiren, why did I wrong you? What did you have that I should wrongly accuse you of?"

There are eighteen levels of hell. How could she know which direction the gate of hell faces?
"Don't deny it." Xiang Guiren stepped on a pair of golden shoes and approached Xu Donglan arrogantly, "Xu Donglan, don't think I don't know you, you just want to kill me. Unfortunately, I am lucky, I won't fall into your trap like this."

Xu Donglan was too exhausted to complain. "Lady Xiang, what are you talking about?"

"Don't try to deny it. You just want Eunuch Xiaoquan and the others to search my garden as soon as possible? Because you know I'm not in the west wing, and you want them to catch me red-handed and make me have no way to defend myself!" Concubine Xiang blurted out everything.

The maids and nurses around her were too late to try to stop her. They could only watch their own lady spit out everything from her mouth.

Xu Donglan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Lady Xiang, first of all, I really didn't know you went out at night. Secondly, I don't want to know where you went. Finally, I'm not as complicated as you think, and I never thought of arguing with you. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to sleep."

When Xiang Guiren saw that she really turned around and left, she couldn't help but twist her handkerchief and stomped her feet, "Of course you can't win against me. Who are you and what am I? How can you compare with me?"

"My father was the salt transport commissioner of Jiangnan Road, in charge of the salt affairs of the imperial court, a third-rank official. Your father was just a minor supervisor of the Sinong Temple, not even an eighth-rank official." She twisted her waist and shouted at Xu Donglan, "You are just luckier and better at pretending than me."

"Otherwise, with your status and family background, how can you be on equal footing with me!"

Xu Donglan ignored the man's rage and went straight back to the east wing. She slammed the door in response to the eldest lady's verbal abuse.

Yu Linlang witnessed this scene and couldn't help but roll her eyes to the sky.

With her violent temper, there was no way she could tolerate the daughter of the Jiangnan Salt Transport Commissioner.

Only Xu Donglan has such a gentle personality that she can endure anything.

If it was baby Linlang, she would have jumped out and hit her on the head twice...

How could she know that after Concubine Xiang scolded her, she ended up being extremely angry. Mainly because of Xu Donglan's attitude of not caring about anything, which made her feel as if she had punched a pile of cotton, and she felt suffocated!

She recalled the emperor's comments on Concubine Lan in the hall on the day of the selection: She is as elegant as an orchid, calm and noble, and she deserves the name "orchid".

I suddenly felt even more suffocated.

Among the three thousand beauties in the harem, Xu Donglan might not be considered to be particularly beautiful and eye-catching, but she can definitely be ranked among the most elegant and refined.

Her gentle temperament gives people a feeling that she is very easy to get along with.

However, Noble Lady Xiang knew that Noble Lady Lan, who seemed to be noncompetitive and unconcerned about anything, was actually very scheming.

Don't ask her how she knew it. She had failed in her plans and suffered several times, and only then did she realize that Xu Donglan might be a tough nut to crack.

Concubine Xiang left angrily with the maids and maids. Yu Linlang then raised her head slightly from the eaves, glanced at Concubine Xiang's back, and secretly waved her fist.

Villains are all arrogant, but generally speaking, good will prevail over evil!
Yu Linlang curled her lips, not feeling the villain aura in her at all...

While Eunuch Xiao Quan and others were searching Concubine Xiang's bedroom, Yu Linlang left the Lixiu Pavilion on her own and ran towards the palace gate at a high speed.

After avoiding three or four groups of secret guards, Yu Linlang successfully left the palace and left the secret code of the sect for her senior brother.

"Darkstar, are you there?"

"Girl." Anxing frowned as he saw her coming out empty-handed, "Is it not going well?"

"Oh, today was a bad day. I forgot to pull up some valuable flowers and plants in the Imperial Garden when I came out."

Anxing was speechless. He reached out to take the hook from her hand and found that the sacks that the girl had brought into the palace were also gone.

I guess the girl just threw away the empty sack because things didn't go her way...

"By the way, I saw the prince entering the palace earlier. How is he now?" (End of this chapter)
