Ming Shiyun didn't expect Hua Guifei to talk to her so directly, but after saying it, she was relieved, at least she didn't need to pretend to be so tired when both of them knew it

After hurriedly saying goodbye, Ming Shiyun took Ziling outside the door back to Fenghua Palace, although Concubine Hua Guifei did not have a very good attitude towards her, but the advice she gave should be followed, so the first thing she did after she went back was to call Shuya and the three of them to explain things clearly

“…… That's probably it, next, but it's going to be hard for you, especially Shuya," Ming Shiyun looked at Shuya with an expression of vague expectation and dependence, and said, "Wanyi is not here, I really have to rely on you all over, I'm afraid you will be very hard during this time, I thank you in advance"

"Where did Niangniang say," Shuya curtsied, bowed, and lowered her head slightly, "These are the things that are originally within the slave's share, although Niangniang orders it, the slave will definitely do her best to achieve her goal for Niangniang."

"Well, I believe you," Ming Shiyun nodded, "It's just that although the three of you won't be framed by the queen as easily as Wanyi, but you have to be more careful during this time, if you have done anything before, remember to hide it carefully, don't get caught, I don't think Wanyi will be in prison for too long, but since the queen has started to do it, we must not have a fluke again."

"Don't worry, Niangniang, Lurui will definitely not hold you back," Lurui raised her hand and clenched her fists, making a very firm expression, and a little unspeakably cute, "Even if the queen wants to trouble Niangniang, the slave will definitely do her best to block it for you, and she will definitely not let Niangniang be bullied by her again."

"Oh, it depends on whether you work hard enough now," Ming Shiyun laughed, Lu Rui's innocent and cute little appearance can always make her relaxed, it was like this when she was in Qi Country before, and now it is still the same, which makes her miss a little nostalgic for the days when Lu Rui was still her personal palace maid, "You...... It's been a long time since I've seen you like this, I thought my aunt should be in charge, how can I mature, but the result still hasn't changed."

"Oh, Niangniang, don't mention this again, I'm so tired, I can't imagine that the aunt in charge is so difficult, if it weren't for Sister Shuya to help me, I'm afraid I would have made a mess a long time ago" Lu Rui shook her head, and said in an exaggerated tone, hoping to amuse Ming Shiyun a little bit, "This aunt in charge is really not suitable for me, it's better to let me and Sister Shuya change her to be the aunt in charge, I'll give her a hand, that's right."

"Your aunt in charge is the queen's mother, who can easily withdraw it, so I have to let you get used to it obediently," Ming Shiyun said with a smile, "It's embarrassing, Shuya has to help you clean up the mess all day long, if you really appreciate her, learn to take charge of it quickly, so that she can worry less."

"Speaking of which...... The queen mother made the green rui the head of the aunt, and ...... "just mentioned this, Shuya also thought about saying her thoughts by the way, "The slave thinks this is deliberate."

"Deliberately, because Lu Rui is not very good at these, is it easy to take advantage of loopholes" such a cat is familiar, and she immediately understood what Shuya meant: "That doesn't mean that when Niangniang first entered the palace, the queen Niangniang was already thinking about dealing with Niangniang"

"That's not going to happen......" Ming Shiyun thought about it all her thoughts, "I should be on guard, she probably also wants to leave a way back, and at this time, I'm afraid it just happened...... What a visionary."

"Ah, then I'm a drag again," Lu Rui opened her eyes wide, pointed at herself, and swept her eyes over the three of them, pouting a little unhappily, "Hmph, the queen will underestimate me, I can't do it, I must work hard to let her know that I, Lu Rui is not the kind of stupid person who will drag his own master back."

"Then you really have to work hard," Shuya coaxed her, in fact, she also knew that Lu Rui was not not not working hard, but she was not born to do such a thing, "But what Hua Guifei Niangniang said is also very reasonable, indeed, you and Ziling are now more important to be familiar with all the concubines' preferences, characteristics, and Xinmi connections in the harem, and keep in mind the intricacies here, it is not so easy to figure out, it is better for you to focus on it here, I will teach you well from now on, as for the daily affairs in the Fenghua Palace...... It's better for me to take care of it for a while, and just say that Lu Rui is unwell and needs more rest, so you can quickly figure out everything that should be recorded and checked."

"Well, that's fine," Ming Shiyun agreed with Shuya's words, "but then the three of you will become very hard, but now it's a last resort, so it's a matter of necessity."

"Niangniang, don't worry"

Things are in a hurry, and after the three of them replied, they hurriedly went to their own side, Ming Shiyun sat by the window, breathed her breath, and couldn't help but sigh when she thought about it

Although I still can't see what's the big deal now, but the queen just tried it like this, and the first step made her feel the pressure invisibly, remembering that when she was going to do the morning and dusk province before, the queen's inadvertent eyes made Ming Shiyun tremble inexplicably, and she couldn't deal with it, but now she actually had enough of all the momentary panic at that time, and pressed her full of pressure, and the queen didn't even need to attack her directly, which already made her feel uneasy, flustered, and didn't even have an idea

It was not until this time that Ming Shiyun really realized that the reason why the queen mother was able to hold the back seat of the East Palace for so many years was not for no reason, Concubine Hua was cautious for so many years and did not dare to act rashly, it was indeed very reasonable, and she had to be implicated, and she couldn't even shout innocent, so she could only hold on so hard, praying that she could get lucky

When she turned her head sideways, she saw the floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror facing her figure from a distance, looking at herself in the mirror, Ming Shiyun only felt that it was a confused and helpless expression, she didn't know why she was like this, at this time, she looked at herself, and couldn't help but ask softly

"Concubine Liang Shu wants to deal with me, I can still fight back, and I am still thinking about how to repay her and let her know that I can't be provoked, but now that the queen makes a move, I am so frightened, how can I not have the courage to fight her?"

The words of self-questioning made Ming Shiyun couldn't help frowning, and she was even more puzzled, she remembered what Shu Linyu said to herself, although she also expressed concern and attention to the queen, but she didn't have any intention of retreating, Hua Guifei and the queen have been fighting for many years, but now even the three palace maids around her seem to have more courage to resist the queen than herself, why can't she herself be angry, is it really because the queen has always been very good to herself when she first entered the palace, but now she has chosen to stand on the side of Hua Guifei, so she feels guilty about the queen

Slowly stood up and approached the huge floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror, Ming Shiyun looked at her posture and saw the expression on her face more clearly, she slowly raised her hand to touch the mirror, as if caressing her face, and continued to whisper to herself

"No matter what it is for, there is no way back now, I want to save myself, I have to keep this child, I have to fight against the queen, I must find a way to deal with her, pull her down, only in this way can I have a peaceful life, this harem is a place to eat people, kindness and tolerance are useless, if you don't deal with her, she will come to deal with me, and she is not terrible, she has been a queen for so many years, in fact, she is not a woman in the deep palace like us, since this is the case, what can't be dealt with, it is worth fearing, simply ...... Isn't there also a gorgeous concubine, Niangniang will also help, she is the one who really wants to deal with the queen, and she is also the real enemy of the queen, I shouldn't be afraid, since I choose this path, even if I have to go on, there is no way back, you know?"

Ming Shiyun looked at herself in the mirror and said slowly, word by word, as if she was trying to convince herself, her mind flashed her miscarriage, flashed the child who had no chance to come to the world, flashed that she knew who the culprit was, but she couldn't do anything after all, and she had to watch another innocent woman bear all the charges, and that woman was what she owed ......

"No...... I can't go on like this, I can't go through powerlessness again, I can't let innocent people bear their sins, I can't run away from them, I have to reach out and hold on to my power and position to get what I want, no matter how difficult it is...... Even if it's a last resort......"

Looking at herself in the mirror with a firm gaze, Ming Shiyun told herself over and over again that these are the only way, and the harem woman has to do it, and every time she is the first to provoke herself, there is nothing wrong with protecting herself and her children, and she is deeply favored by the emperor, this matter is not wrong, she should not bear any price for this

When she became more and more firm in this belief, there was also a clean place in her heart that was slowly falling, and Ming Shiyun could faintly feel that strange irreparable, but she couldn't do anything after all, and at this time, she deeply hated why she was born in the Great Qi Royal, why she was a princess, but ...... She can't help but do these things for her home country, because she has an innate sense of responsibility and mission, these things dissolved in her blood and bones are the most solid support for her actions now, everything is meaningful because of this, and the responsibility she bears for her family and country is the heaviest burden on her body, and she can't let it go...... Can't convince yourself to put it aside

Even though all this may eventually cause her catastrophe, no matter how many people are forced to do so, Ming Shiyun knows that she can't help but be ruthless
