Outside the Venerate Heavens Sect, Yao Yue was covered in cold sweat.

She did not take her advice.

He didn't say anything in the end, just waved him away. Could it be that he still felt that his worries were because his little girl's heart was unable to make sense of the situation?

No, she was almost sure that Su Gelou had already started moving in the dark, while Tumen was like a docile sheep, happily passing his years, not knowing that the jackal cheetah was not far from her.

She knew far too well how powerful the Grand Xia was. She had grown up with Su Dingxing in the army. The soldiers of Da Xia were courageous and scheming, and they also had strict military discipline. Most of them had to acknowledge a wise and wise military general to lead them. In order to protect their country, they were not afraid of blood or death, but they were afraid of the same thing, and that was Mongol cavalry.

Otherwise, after occupying the borders of Da Xia Empire for so many years, Mongolia would constantly cause trouble for everyone. Why didn't the Grand Xia dare to fight Mongolia?

Wasn't it because of the famous cavalry in Mongolia?

Yaoyue had investigated many historical records, and in the history of Da Xia, there were many victories and fewer defeats when fighting with Mongolia. Even if it won, it would still be a close victory. It was a victory that was based on the accumulation of the flesh and blood of the soldiers of the Grand Xia.

How could that be called victory? In Yao Yue's eyes, that was a humiliation!

The marriage between Tumen and Mongolia was clearly an alliance, but Helian Jia thought she was worrying about her little girl?

With one breath held in Yaoyue's chest, she couldn't get out. She really wanted to know, if the imperial concubine hadn't died, would he have listened to her family's words?

Today, it was Sun Hai's turn. Seeing that Yao Yue's expression wasn't right, he wanted to explain himself, but was afraid that they were at the main hall's entrance, and could only swallow his words.

After standing at the entrance of the main hall for a few minutes, Yao Yue moved her stiff legs and left the Venerate Heavens Sect. There must be a turning point in Mongolia. She had to find a way for the emperor to see the seriousness of the situation.

Returning to the Rites of Rites, Yaoyue felt a bit listless. Her mind was still replaying what had just happened, making her feel even more depressed. At this moment, Zhao Fuhai entered from the outer room, giving Yaoyue a call, and apologetically said, "Master, you weren't here just now. Cheng Gan Palace's palace maids came to report that your esteemed guest occasionally feels the cold, and I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep for some time."

Yaoyue was surprised for a moment, and then blankly raised her head. What did you say? "

"Oh, your servant said that your esteemed self occasionally feels chills and doesn't feel well, so I'm afraid that you won't be able to sleep."

Within Yao Yue's mind, there was a 'crackle', as if a string had been broken. Zhao Fuhai looked at Yao Yue blankly, thinking that she wasn't familiar with the palace rules. He then explained, "The imperial harem rules state that if the Empress' concubine is unwell, she should report it to the Chief Esteemed Master as soon as possible. "For the sake of the Emperor's dragon body, we must temporarily break off from the rest of the bed." "… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

"What about time?" Yao Yue suddenly asked. The corner of Zhao Fuhai's mouth slightly raised, his smile was gloomy and unclear, "The rules that were originally set down, as long as it's light as a month, then it'll be depending on the situation. However, Master also knows that this rule varies from person to person. Normally, if someone is favored by the palace in dealing with this kind of cold weather, it would only last for a week. If the person is not, then the court will treat it as a month's worth of punishment. "

Zhao Fuhai spoke like an old Taoist and didn't try to hide anything. Yaoyue glanced at him and also smiled, "Then according to eunuch, how will we get rid of this noble person's brand?"

"Aiyo, for the Empress to ask such a question, it must be some kind of servant!" When Esteemed Empress Dowager gave all of these ceremonies to Esteemed Empress Dowager, how could this servant have the leeway to argue! This servant will depend on the Empress for everything! "

Zhao Fuhai bowed towards her with a humble appearance. The light in Yao Yue's eyes became cold, refusing to comment. "Since the palace rules already exist, then I will withdraw my tablet first. As for the time, I think we'll talk about it according to Imperial Physician Gu's judgement. "

"Yes sir!"

Zhao Fuhai followed the order and backed out of the room. After Zhao Fuhai left, Yaoyue's expression eased a little.

She had originally thought that this Song Yi was just an ordinary concubine. She had thought that she would be able to obtain everything just by dominating the Emperor. At that time, she had underestimated him.

However, it was also true that it was not a simple matter to stand out among the buried court ladies and become the emperor's concubine.

The corner of Yao Yue's mouth unconsciously rose as she looked at Zhao Fuhai's documents on the table. Since her benefactor wanted to help her, she was happy to do so.

After making up her mind, Yaoyue called Zhao Fuhai in, inquiring about the situation of the concubines in the palace in detail.

Yuan Shuo had entered a total of 24 new concubines. Other than the rich and powerful, the rest of the concubines had all agreed, with a few who hadn't even slept at all. This batch of concubines had been like flowers in their good times. Zhou Zheng's appearance was unquestionable, and a few of them were young and lively, looking innocent and romantic.

Yao Yue suddenly thought of Meng Fwei.

As Zhao Fuhai explained, Yaoyue flipped through the books of her concubines. New concubines would usually leave their portraits behind. From the portraits, beauties were like jade, each having their own special beauty, bewitching beauty, or being skilled in the art of coquetry. She did not believe that Helian Jia was not interested in any of them!

"How has the emperor been sleeping this past year?"

"In reply to Master, from the 29th to the 30th year of Yuanshuo, the Emperor has been fond of nobles and has visited the Palace more often than anyone else. The next person to go is Fu Chang Zai. Liu agreed to a few low-level concubines, and the rest are all very ordinary. "

"Fu Chang Zai?" Yao Yue was attracted by this title and slightly stopped what she was doing. "Is it from the emperor?"

"Yes," Zhao Fuhai said as he flipped open the book to a page of Fu Chang Zai's, "Fu Chang Zai after she went to bed, His Majesty's Chang Zai was round and pleasing looking. He was blessed, so he gave her the title of 'Fu'."

Yaoyue followed Zhao Fuhai's words. The woman's face on the portrait was round, her eyes curved, and there was a flash of simple and honest luster on her face. She seemed to have a smile on her face. Looking at their age, they were only seventeen or eighteen years old. Their looks were indeed pleasing.

Yao Yue smiled and nodded, "Then, does royal father like her?"

Zhao Fuhai seemed to be somewhat troubled. He paused for a moment before saying, "Compared to the other young masters, the Emperor is still blessed. But compared to noble Yi …"

Zhao Fuhai cleverly left a message. In any case, everyone knew the truth, and even if he didn't say anything about it, the imperial concubine knew.

Yao Yue didn't mind Zhao Fuhai's cunning. She just continued flipping through the picture book in her hands. Suddenly, a page turned and Meng Fwei's face appeared in front of her.

"This is, Meng Tian agrees?"

Zhao Fuhai glanced at the portrait and nodded, "Yes, Meng agreed to be the sixteenth of the first year, and is the daughter of the junior minister of the Hong Dian Temple, Meng Yuanzhi. As soon as you enter the palace, you agree."

After a pause, Zhao Fuhai added, "Meng Yangquan agreed not to sleep."

Yao Yue couldn't help but be surprised as she glanced at Zhao Fuhai. She didn't expect that Meng Fwei wouldn't sleep with her.

"From the drawing, we can see that Meng Yong's appearance is pretty, and his posture is elegant and graceful. How come he hasn't been able to get close to the emperor's eyes for more than a year?"

"This servant is watching from the side. This Meng Gongzi is very beautiful, but he has a bit of a child's temperament. "The emperor doted on those who were rich and noble, ignoring the other young masters. It was a common occurrence." Zhao Fuhai laughed, his reply being very standard. It was just that how could Yaoyue not be intelligent? How could she not understand Zhao Fuhai's meaning? His fingers tapped lightly on the portrait before him. "The emperor's affairs are too much. Esteemed empress dowager is extremely worried. It's good to have a few young imperial concubines accompanying him in his banter."

Zhao Fuhai nodded with a smile, and then Yaoyue closed the book in her hands. "It's good to be a good person, but since your body is unwell now, I'll arrange for other concubines to be given to the emperor tonight."

Zhao Fuhai accepted the order and went down to prepare to sleep tonight. The young disciple at the side saw that Zhao Fuhai actually did all of this himself, and every move he made was extremely cautious. He couldn't help but to ask, "Master, why are you doing this yourself? Leave these chores to the servants. "

"What do you know?" Zhao Fuhai glanced at the eunuch, but he did not dare to hesitate, "Sir Yi, your excellency is on leave."

The eunuch was taken aback at first, but then he understood. He looked at the people around him, and then he moved closer to them, "What do you mean …"

"Didn't the empress dowager arrange for the Eleventh Prince's consort to stay here for the sake of this? From the side, I can tell that the Eleventh Prince's consort is also very shrewd, and has always been favored by the Emperor.

Zhao Fuhai sighed and continued with his actions. The young eunuch was still young, after all, and he hadn't thought of some things, "If you say so, then so be it. If you're sick, then so be it. This palace is most forbidden from getting sick. "

The young eunuch scratched his head in disdain. Zhao Fuhai didn't say anything, only smiled faintly.

In this palace, with a favor, one might not be able to live. Yi Hao was a smart person.

The night gradually approached in peace and harmony. After a busy day, Xiao Man served Yao Yue dinner and prepared to leave the palace as she spoke. Right at this moment, Zhao Fuhai entered from the outer room. He respectfully greeted with a half-kneel and said with a smile, "Master, it's about time for you to present your tablet."

Yao Yue was stunned for a moment before looking at Xiao Man.

"I know," Yao Yue was a little puzzled. She did this everyday and even used it to tell her … Suddenly, a ray of light flashed across his mind. Yaoyue Ke couldn't help but open his eyes wide. The way he looked at Zhao Fuhai didn't seem right. Zhao Fuhai also did not get up, still kneeling as he said, "This servant invites Master to move to the Venerate King's Palace."

This time, not only Yao Yue, but even Xiao Man was stunned. After realizing what had happened, Xiao Man's face was filled with disbelief. "You, you want my Young Miss to go to Ginkou's palace and serve the Emperor!"

"Miss Xiao Man doesn't know. In the past, he could go to the Venerable King's Palace and change his name into a servant. However, if there was a concubine who asked for leave to change her name, he would have to go in person. "Lady Yi is on leave, so I've changed my name into a new one today. Now that the Chief Supervisor is the Empress, I must make a trip tonight."

In an instant, Yao Yue's body started trembling uncontrollably. Xiao Man looked at Yao Yue worriedly, "But, but my young miss is the emperor's daughter-in-law, this …" "How can that be?"

Zhao Fuhai looked at Yao Yue and said with a frown, "This servant knows too." But the rules of the palace have always been like this, and the imperial harem didn't have a decree, so … "

Zhao Fuhai's words were very clear. Since the empress dowager had not spoken, Yaoyue had to make a trip!

The hands that were hidden in Yao Yue's sleeves were trembling.

At this moment, she even had the heart to die!

She understood that this was what the empress dowager intended! She went to advise the emperor of his other concubines, then she had to persuade the empress dowager of her wish!

However, she was the Emperor's daughter-in-law. If she did this, how would the others look at her?

Yaoyue's face turned completely pale, and she froze on the spot! Xiao Man looked worried, but this was not a place for her to talk. She could only helplessly stand to the side.

Time passed bit by bit. If Yaoyue didn't wake up and Zhao Fuhai didn't get up, he would just kneel like that.

"Mistress …" Zhao Fuhai tried to sound him out. It was getting late. It didn't matter if he was kneeling, but the Emperor couldn't afford to be late.

Feeling her body stiffen, Yao Yue tried to move. An aching pain.

She looked at Zhao Fuhai. She wanted to ask if she had to go tonight. But when the words came out of her mouth, she swallowed them back.

She still had her dignity. She couldn't ask.

In fact, she knew that she couldn't avoid it at all. Asking was also useless.

Taking a deep breath, Yaoyue withdrew her gaze. Her expression was indifferent, and it was hard to tell what was going on.

"Then let's go."
