In the early morning of the next day, Xi Xian went out early to greet Li Zhaoyuan. It is a palace rule to greet the empress in the palace every morning, just like the emperor has to go to court every day.Although they are in the same palace, Jiang Guo's palace is huge, and her Sumeng Pavilion is still some distance away from the main palace.

Entering the main hall and bypassing a jade screen, Xi Xian came to the inner room of the apse. Xi Xian thought that she would be the first to arrive, but she didn't expect to arrive earlier.

On the soft couch, a woman with serene eyebrows and eyes was sitting beside Li Zhaoyuan. Although the woman was plain in appearance, she gave people a gentle and calm feeling of comfort. She was dressed in plain gray clothes, which were lighter than the furnishings in Wanyun Palace. Wearing a string of giant clam lotus bracelets, and holding a sandalwood rosary in the other hand, one can tell at a glance that he is a Buddhist believer.

Because she didn't know her status, Xi Xian leaned over and saluted, "I have seen Lady Zhaoyuan, and I have seen my sister."

"Don't be too polite," Li Zhaoyuan held the woman's hand and said to her, "This is Chengxin Tang Mu Jieyu."

Mu Jieyu stepped forward and grabbed Xi Xian who was still about to salute, "Yesterday I heard that a beauty came to our palace, and seeing her today is really impressive."

"Elder sister's praise, there are many beautiful people in the palace, younger sister is nothing among them." Xi Xian lowered her head a little embarrassed.

"Your sister is so beautiful, why bother to slander yourself, you have just entered the palace and the days are still long, there will be a day when you will fly to the branches."

After hearing Mu Jieyu's words, she immediately understood that the news of being robbed of favor by Wang Zhaoyi last night might have spread throughout the harem. Although she didn't think much of it, she still smiled gratefully in response to Xi Xian's sincere comfort.

"Wang Baoluo will make these small tricks, you don't need to pay too much attention, the emperor knows it well!" Compared to Mu Jieyu's tact, Li Zhaoyuan pointed out the matter directly.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about it. The concubine doesn't care about it." Xi Xian felt very warm in her heart to have someone who would stand up for her.

"That's good, come and sit with me more in the future, there are few people in my palace, so don't be bored when the days are long."

The three parents chatted briefly, but the little maid next to Li Zhaoyuan seemed a little anxious, "Ma'am, it's getting late, it's time to greet the imperial concubine and empress."

Li Zhaoyuan glared at the little maid, "I'm not feeling well, so I won't go today."

"You haven't been there for five days, ma'am." Although the little maid was afraid, she still boldly reminded her.

"There are so many words, if you don't want to go, you won't go!" Li Zhaoyuan suddenly raised her voice, frightening the little palace lady to her knees and trembling.

Seeing that Li Zhaoyuan was angry, Xi Xian stood up and persuaded, "Your Majesty, let's go. If the imperial concubine and empress blame the emperor and tell the emperor, it will not damage the relationship between the empress and the emperor."

"Sister, don't worry, the emperor won't take care of these things. If I want to listen to their nonsense all day long, I might as well sleep in the house!"

Xi Xian wanted to persuade her again, but was interrupted by a palace lady who hurried in.

"Mother??? Empress, Miss Wu is not well again!" The palace maid knelt down and threw herself on the ground, out of breath.

Li Zhaoyuan and Mu Jieyu's expressions suddenly became tense, and they rushed to the outside of the palace, ordering the palace staff to invite the emperor and the imperial physician as they walked.

She had never heard of Wu Meiren, and she didn't know what the court lady meant when she said it was bad, but the tense expressions on everyone's faces were enough to make her feel bad.

Following the crowd to a remote residence in Wanyun Palace, before stepping into the courtyard, they heard a sputtering sound inside, mixed with bursts of mourning.

Entering the courtyard, as soon as he walked outside the door, a huge vase was smashed out. The vase fell to the ground and splashed countless fragments.

Seeing this situation, no one dared to go in rashly. Only Li Zhaoyuan rushed into the house to catch the person throwing things. Xi Xian calmed down from her panic and rushed in regardless of Xuechun's tugging. The palace man shouted, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you come to help your mother!"

With the concerted efforts of the palace people, the person who threw the object was finally held down, but the person was still struggling and screaming, and Mu Jieyu turned her head to the side, unable to bear to see the person's miserable state.

After asking the person next to her, Xi Xian, she found out that this is Wu Meiren. On closer inspection, although Wu Meiren's clothes and headgear are messy, she still can't hide her delicate face. It can be seen that she used to be a beauty, but I don't know why she turned into this .

"The emperor is here!" The eunuch's voice was heard from far away, and Wu Meiren, who was already quite quiet, suddenly went crazy again, shouting non-stop, "The emperor save me! Save me! Someone is going to kill my concubine!" .”

The few palace people couldn't react in time, and they were freed by the sudden attack of Wu Meiren, and the room panicked instantly, fleeing and hiding, Xi Xian was the closest to Wu Meiren, and became Wu Meiren's first choice of attack target.

Unable to retreat in time, Xi Xian was strangled by Wu Meiren who was flying over. Xuechun desperately tried to pull Wu Meiren's arm away, but it didn't work at all.

Xi Xian felt that she was about to suffocate, but Wu Meiren's strength was getting stronger and stronger, and she kept muttering, "Let you kill me, kill you! Kill you!"

The strong hatred in Wu Meiren's eyes made Xi Xian feel a bone-chilling coldness.

Just when Xi Xianjue's consciousness gradually blurred and she was unable to struggle, the hands that were holding her throat suddenly loosened.

Yuwen Haoxuan who rushed over picked up Wu Meiren and whispered something in her ear.Wu Meiren's fierce eyes gradually calmed down, and the little bird nestled in Yuwen Haoxuan's arms like a human being, and the signs of madness just now had long since disappeared.

Yuwen Haoxuan gently looked at Wu Meiren in his arms, and spoke softly, every movement was so gentle and compassionate, Wu Meiren acted coquettishly like no one else, if someone who didn't know saw it, he would definitely be intoxicated In this moving scene.

Xi Xian has never seen Yuwen Haoxuan so gentle, he is completely different from the rude and ruthless towards him that day, maybe he was not a ruthless person, Xi Xian thought in his heart, his impression of Yuwen Haoxuan There have also been some improvements.

Not long after, several imperial physicians rushed over, Yuwen Haoxuan signaled them to wait aside, and walked back to the inner room with Wu Meiren in his arms.

A moment later, Yuwen Haoxuan came out with a heavy expression, and let the waiting imperial physician enter.

"What's going on?" Yuwen Haoxuan asked coldly to the palace servant standing aside.

The maid in charge of Wu Meiren was already so frightened that her legs and feet became weak, and she fell to her knees with a plop, "The emperor forgives the sin, but the little palace ladies are ignorant, and they talked about Zhaoyi in private, so that the beauty listened, so... "

The maid in charge was too frightened to speak any more, while Yuwen Haoxuan's expression was still cold, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

"Drag the maid who caused the trouble to the violent room. Since you can't manage the people under your command, you don't have to do it with the maid in charge. Let's go to the violent room with them." Yuwen Haoxuan's understatement has already put that name The maid in charge was so frightened that she fainted and let herself be dragged away.

The violent room is a punishment method that is worse than death for the palace people who make mistakes. They have to work day and night and be whipped every day. No matter whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, there is only one single piece of clothing to cover their bodies. No one can survive. Inside out.

Such a harsh punishment instantly shattered Xi Xian's newly established goodwill towards Yuwen Haoxuan. In her opinion, although the palace people were at fault, the crime was not limited to that.

After dealing with the palace servant who made a mistake, Yuwen Haoxuan walked up to her, with concern in his eyes, but Xixian lowered his head indifferently. He wanted to comfort Yuwen Haoxuan but swallowed his words, and told Li Zhaoyuan to say a few words. Turn around and leave.

Looking at the back of him leaving lonely, Xixian felt an unknown emotion in her heart, she seemed to be unable to bear it, but also seemed to be unwilling to give up, she pinched the back of her hand fiercely, forcing herself not to think about it anymore, But it doesn't seem to be very effective.
