The empress dowager didn't speak, but the imperial concubine who had followed the empress felt that the atmosphere was a little unnatural and awkward.

The woman sitting opposite her had a cold smile on her face, obviously looking down on this kind of behavior.

Hua Yuan felt nothing but admiration. Even such a small matter like this could make many people's eyes red with envy! The confrontation that was hidden was truly interesting.

There was only one emperor in the world. If these people didn't ask them to fight around in such a palace, they would probably go crazy with boredom. After all, the emperor's daily routine was too busy for him to handle. But he couldn't take into account so many people!

Since the empress dowager didn't speak, the servants didn't dare speak to themselves anymore. They also picked up their tea to cover up the awkward atmosphere. Hua Yuan watched from the side and felt that power and authority were really good things.

If one looked at Her Majesty, one would know that Her Majesty herself did not want to speak, so no one would rush to meet with misfortune. Hua Yuan felt that she had hugged this thigh very well! This was too good!

After a long while, the empress dowager spoke up. "It's better if that Xi Wen girl takes the empress back."

The empress was shocked, not knowing why the empress dowager would say such a thing. Xi Wen was one of her people, but she had never instructed Xi Wen to do anything since she had placed him by the empress dowager's side. She merely wanted to have peace of mind.

The empress dowager had always been swift and decisive in her actions, so she didn't immediately send Xi Wen away. The empress thought that the empress dowager didn't know that Xi Wen was one of her people. Unexpectedly, the empress dowager had always known about this.

With this thought in mind, the empress couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. She then recalled that the empress dowager didn't have the intention of returning to her palace with a more happy face at first. It was mentioned at this time. Why was that?

He hadn't instructed her to do anything these days.

The empress couldn't figure it out, but the imperial concubine was all smiles as she watched Ning Xuemo make a joke of herself.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager really does like the Empress Dowager's haste." I can't help but feel envious when I look at it. "The empress dowager personally bestowed this gift to her, so why are you standing there in a daze? Why haven't you hurried over to thank the empress dowager?"

Consort De's words were really overstepped by the empress dowager's. It could be said that she was extremely disrespectful to the empress!

However, this was her usual attitude towards the empress.

Consort De was already in her thirties, but because of the proper maintenance, she always acted like a little girl in front of the emperor. She was the emperor's favorite.

The fourth prince was naturally doted upon by the emperor as well. And his own son was trying so hard, wasn't this all Consort De's power? Speaking of which, Consort De really didn't think much of the empress.

The empress had been caught unprepared by the empress dowager's sudden act, but now that she heard Consort De's mockery, she couldn't help but feel resentful. He didn't show it on the surface.

It wasn't that she hadn't tried punishing Consort De before, but it was just that when he had just punished her, the Queen had no respect for him at all. As time passed, the empress no longer cared!

But at this moment, Consort De actually gave her face in front of the empress dowager. She really couldn't tolerate this.

As her cold gaze swept over Consort De, the empress said calmly and generously, "Since muhou has said so, my wife will naturally bring the person back. "Speaking of which, it's also my wife who is wrong. This Xi Wen was also a wife when she saw that she was obedient, so she wanted to send it to mother. Now, I don't know what wrong Xi Wen has done to make mother be so angry."

The empress dowager knew that Hua Yuan's plight had something to do with the empress, but the empress didn't seem to be that stupid of a person, so she'd gone out to test if the empress knew the truth.

But after some probing, the empress dowager knew that the empress probably didn't know the truth.

Although there were some palace maids brought in by a bystander in her palace, they didn't seem to be a peaceful people. They all told her to arrange a place for her as a lowly palace maid.

If it was her own people, she would be able to use it without worry.

After this cycle, the only people who were not their own kind and were able to enter the inner chamber were the Empress's lines of happiness.

"Since that's the case, then the empress should bring the Xi Wen back. This Dowager is also tired now, you can disperse now."

Many of the palace concubines wanted to see the empress dowager make a joke of herself, but since the empress dowager had already spoken, no one would be so foolish as to give her face.

Seeing the crowd withdraw, the Empress Dowager asked Hua Lii, "Do you know who did it now?"

Hua Yuan thought that the empress dowager had targeted the empress from the very beginning, but what reason did the empress have to do so? How confusing!

When the empress dowager saw Hua Yuan struggling to think, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, since we can't think of a reason why the empress would do this, why not think about it? Maybe it really wasn't done by the empress."

Hua Yuan recalled how the Empress looked when she heard the Empress Mother ask her to lead him back. She also thought that the Empress looked as if she didn't know what was going on.

Hua Yuan then asked, "Since the empress doesn't know about this, who could possibly be the one to make a move on her?"

Her Majesty nodded her head in approval. Hua Yuan's words had hit the nail on the head.

"That's right, who else can command the empress?"

Could it be the crown prince? Hua Yuan thought.

However, since the Crown Prince wanted him to marry him as the Crown Princess, it would be best if he could tie him up with her. If he was scheming in this area, he wouldn't use such a method.

If it wasn't the Crown Prince, who else could it be?

Hua Li pondered for a long time, but still couldn't come up with an answer.

He had only thought that the palace battle was indeed not suitable for him!

When he was in the mansion, it was because of his previous life. She would completely remember who was good to her and who was ruthless to her. His actions were all done according to plan, which was why he was able to take the initiative and avoid some tragedy from his previous life.

But now, thinking about what he had seen in the palace in the short span of a few days, it was truly shocking.

Hua Yuan lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep at night. Seeing that Bai Qin and Jiao were both waiting for him, she asked, "Who do you guys think is the one who would do this to me?"

Bai Qin actually had someone in her heart. Other than Princess Yun Xin, there was no one else in this palace who hated their young miss so much. However, she was still skeptical that Princess Yun Xin would be able to use the empress. When she heard Hua Yuan's question, she didn't say anything.

She didn't think too much about it and just said, "I can't figure out who did this, but I think it's good to talk about this person. After this moment, whoever gets the most benefits will naturally be the one."

Hua Yuan nodded as she thought in agreement.

No matter how conflicted Hua Yuan was on the bed, when the Empress brought Xi Wen back to her Phoenix Nest Palace, she was still confused.

When they reached the palace, the empress only left a trusted aide by her side to wait upon her. She then asked, "Xi Wen, do you still remember what I told you when I sent you to the empress dowager?"

Vin nodded.

Naturally, she had never forgotten these things for a moment.

Originally, she was just a palace maid served by the Cold Palace. Due to her attractive appearance, she was often touched by those eunuchs! Since he was serving in the cold palace, he could only endure the disgust and get harassed by those people.

In short, she really didn't want to think about those days.

On that day, just as she was about to go get the food of the Empress of the cold palace, she encountered a middle-aged eunuch on the way to take care of Eunuch Chen. This Eunuch Chen had been staring at her for a long time!
