Everyone in Kunning Palace was silent because the queen got angry and smashed the purple clay teapot that she almost never left her hands. The imperial concubine Min Lian'er was also proud and did not dare to come out. She stood beside the queen and comforted her in a low voice.

Qin Rouniang slowly walked into Kunning Palace, Ziyan followed her, with five red fingerprints on her face particularly eye-catching.

At first glance, seeing the injuries on Zi Yan's face, the anger on Xinmei's face became even stronger.

"I have seen the Empress!" Qin Rouniang seemed to be fine, walked to Xinmei, and bowed her knees and bowed.

Xinmei quickly reached out to support her, "You are wronged."

Qin Rounniang smiled and said, "It's nothing. Concubine Xie is the imperial concubine, so it's appropriate to teach me a lesson. I'll just take it."

Listening to Qin Rouniang's calm words, Xinmei became more and more worried. In a blink of an eye, she saw Ziyan behind her, "Ziyan, you are suffering. The person comes, bring the best beauty cream in my room."

Hong'er quickly brought a delicate bottle and handed it to the queen. "Ziyan, come here!"

Ziyan lowered her head and walked to Xinmei. Xinmei took her hand and stuffed the bottle into her hand. "This is made of the best medicinal herbs. I will apply it to my face again. When I wake up early tomorrow morning, my face will return to my original state."

"Thank you, Empress." Zi Yan whispered, took the bottle and retreated behind Qin Rouniang.

"I heard that the emperor was going to go to Concubine Xie's place yesterday, but why did he go to where you later?" Xinmei asked casually.

"Yesterday, some extremely important information came from the north. Many things need to be decided by the Fourth Master. I had to let Ziyan invite the Fourth Master to come. Last night, the Fourth Master and I didn't sleep all night. Queen, you may not know, the situation is a bit complicated now."

Xinmei nodded, "I don't know much about what's happening outside, and Xie Yunqiu naturally doesn't know either. She is just a little girl who is favored and charming. She is used to being arrogant at home, so don't keep it in your heart."

"Yes, Empress!" Qin Rouniang nodded with a smile. "Empress, Hao'er is doing well during this period. Can you let me see him?"

Xinmei's face changed slightly, "Hao'er got up late and was still sleeping at this time. Why don't you disturb him and let him have a good rest!"

Qin Rouniang lowered her head and raised her head for a while, "Since that's the case, I'll say goodbye, and there are still many things to deal with in the palace."

"Okay, I know you're busy, go and do it. After this period, I'll take Hao'er to see you!" Xinmei said with a smile.

After walking out of the gate of Kunning Palace with Zi Yan, Qin Rouniang looked up at the sky and took a long breath.

"Empress, the queen just doesn't want you to see Hao'er. In a while, I'm afraid that the little prince won't know you anymore!" Zi Yan whispered.

"This is what the queen wants. In a few months, Hao'er will completely forget me. At that time, even if he brings him to see me, the queen will have nothing to fear." Qin Rouni said lightly.

"Empress, what should I do?" Ziyan changed her color.

"It's mine, it's mine after all. Why are you panic? How can you break up with blood and family affection!" Qin Rouniang said lightly.

Back at Jingren Palace, Qin Rouniang sat under the big tree in the yard and looked at Ziyan, "Ziyan, go back to Jiangnan!"

Zi Yan said in surprise: "Empress, why?"

Qin Rouniang said slowly: "You are the wife of Xiong Kuohai, the dignified fourth-rank General Xuanwei. It is not a big deal to follow me in the palace for a long time. Moreover, in Jiangnan, I need a capable manpower, and it's just right for you to go back."

"Where is the Empress?" Zi Yan asked.

"It's okay, I've picked a few reliable people to come into the palace." Rou Niang smiled. "You guys come out!"

In Jingren's palace, eight palace maids came out along the way, including middle-aged nanny and young girls who just got Dou Kou Nianhua.

"Did you come from the Qin family?" Zi Yan asked in a low voice.

Rou Niang nodded, "Not bad."

"Empress, why do you trust the Qin family so much?" Zi Yan asked with some wonder.

Rou Niang stood up with a smile, walked a few circles in the yard, and said, "Ziyan, if you are in Jiangnan, if you encounter difficulties, go to the head of the Qin family, and he will solve a lot of trouble for you."

"Yes, Empress, I understand. Empress, that Xie Yunqiu just let it go?" Zi Yan stroked the scars on her face and asked with resentment.

"Her son is a general who commands 100,000 troops. He is now using it. I can only endure this tone for the time being. But Ziyan, don't worry, your slap will not be in vain, I will vent your anger for you." Rou Niang said lightly.

Xie Yunqiu wanted to find justice to Li Xiao, but she was disappointed. When she heard that her maid beat Zi Yan, Li Xiao was even furious. Zi Yan was not an ordinary palace maid. She was not only Xiong Kuohai's wife, but also the number one general in Luowang. How could she be insulted?

"Bind the girl who beat someone and sent her to Jingren Palace and handed it over to Ziyan for treatment!" Li Xiao looked at Xie Yunqiu who was crying and said coldly.

"Also, from now on, don't provoke Concubine Xian. Don't cry anymore, I'm for your own good!"

Xie Yunqiu did not understand Li Xiao's words, and returned to her Yongshou Palace. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Cuiping came from Shu with her and served her most caring person since she was a child. She would not be willing to tie it up with a rope and give it to others for slaughter. She did not believe that the emperor would really force her to hand over Cuiping to the other party.

Three days later, Xie Yunqiu, who was sleeping, was awakened by the screams of the palace maids. She got up from the bed in anger, pushed open the window, and was about to scold her, and she was also scared to scream.

Cuiping was dressed neatly, and was hung on the osmanthus tree in the yard of Yongshou Palace, floating around. She had already died clearly. Looking at Cuiping's long sticking out tongue, Xie Yunqiu felt dizzy and fell to the ground with a bang, unconsciousness.

Cuiping naturally did not commit suicide. She served her to bed last night and then rested outside. She was still fine at that time. Xie Yunqiujing was frightened and finally understood Li Xiao's intention to not provoke Qin Rouni.

She was really scared. Although the Xie family had 100,000 troops, with sufficient soldiers and sufficient food, and her father was in power, she was isolated in this deep palace. Killing Cuiping was a warning to herself. If she was not honest, then the next time she hung on the tree would be herself.

Xie Yunqiu fell ill after being frightened.

In Kunning Palace, Li Xiao's face was ugly and tight, and Xinmei's face was also unhesitant.

"She is so cruel!" Li Xiao said angrily: "I have asked Yunqiu to tie up the Cuiping to apologize to Ziyan, but she is still trying to do this. Are you showing Xie Yunqiu's colors or showing me a good look?"

Xinmei sighed long and said, "Your Majesty, we all know this, but if you really talk about it, who has evidence to prove that she did it? If you really pursue it, she can say that Cuiping committed suicide because she was afraid of the crime."

"It's no big deal to die a girl!" Li Xiao waved his hand and said, "The point is not here, but she actually did whatever she wanted in the palace, and the palace guards were useless, which is a worry."

"I just killed a girl, but didn't touch a hair of Xie Yunqiu. She still knew the importance of it. Fourth Master, this matter has turned into a small matter, it has turned into a small matter! I only said that Cuiping died of sudden illness. You tell Xie Yunqiu, and let it go." Xinmei sighed, "Xie Yunqiu was ungrateful and touched Rou Niang's reverse scale. No wonder she killed her.

Li Xiao leaned on the recliner, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, "No, Luowang can no longer be placed in the palace. Now Luowang is under her control. He was originally going to let Lian Zhongwen take her hand, but Lian Zhongwen was actually sent by her to the north. Seeing that Lian Zhongwen was obedient and left, I was afraid that he would be afraid of her. If Luowang stayed in the palace, wouldn't this palace become her back garden?"

"Fourth Master, she is your concubine and is also loyal to you. Over the years, you should understand her heart. Why do you still suspect her so much?" Xinmei said in surprise.

"Xinmei, this is not a question of loyalty or not. I have never doubted Rou Niang's loyalty to me. Even so, it is not possible. How can I give all my weakest parts to one person to hold on, even if they are closest to you. Rou Niang has been in charge of the net over the years, and her desire for power is getting heavier. Xinmei, Cao Yi came to me a few days ago, do you know what's going on?"

"What did Cao Yi say?"

"He asked to see Rou Niang."

"What did he want to see Rou Niang?"

"He said he would like to ask Rou Niang to say something so that Jiangnan can quickly send food to Shangjing." Li Xiao said in a deep voice.

Xinmei burst out laughing, "Your Majesty, Cao Cao is a wise figure in the world. How could he use such a clumsy plan of disagreement?"

Li Xiao didn't say anything, but just looked at Xinmei. The smile on Xinmei's face slowly faded away, and a look of horror appeared on her face, "Is this true?"

"This is true!" Li Xiao smiled, "The three states in Jiangnan are more likely to say that they are not my lair."

"How could this happen?" Xinmei felt unbelievable, "Most of the officials in Jiangnan were drawn by the Fourth Master, why did he become her now?"

"It's hard for me to figure it out. In the past two years since I left Jiangnan, she has firmly grasped these officials. What's even more terrifying is that the aristocratic families headed by the Qin family in Jiangnan were only followed by her! You know, when I was in Jiangnan, I could only accept these aristocratic families with a slight desire!"

Xinmei looked at Li Xiao in amazement, and after a while, she murmured: "Fourth Master, if this is the case, I'm afraid that Rou Niang will be in trouble to keep her."

Li Xiao nodded slightly, "Yes, I can't keep her, but now I can't move her! I can't be sure, once she moves her, what will happen to Jiangnan and what will happen to Luowang?"

"Isn't Uncle Wang in Jiangnan? Luowang is just a spy organization after all, and it can't become a big climate?" Xinmei said gritting her teeth.
