TICIEC Chapter 16.1

Ning Wanyin stood up from the brocade stool.

Lian Rui quickly supported her, “Master, where are you going?”

“To see His Majesty.” Ning Wanyin said.

Xiao Guizi was very surprised and hesitated to speak, “Dan Li has been driven out. If the Master goes now, His Majesty won’t see you. It will only make him more annoyed…”

Ning Wanyin didn’t explain anything to him and walked straight out.

Xiao Guizi only offered a few words of advice, but didn’t try to stop her. If Ning Meiren wanted to embarrass herself, he couldn’t do anything about it. The most important thing was to find a new master as soon as possible.

Lian Rui helped Ning Wanyin out of the Lingxue Pavilion. As soon as they reached the door of the main hall of Yonghe Palace, they met Li Jieyu, who had just returned.

“Ouch!” Li Jieyu fell to the ground the moment she saw Ning Wanyin.

“Master!” The accompanying palace maid hurried to help.

“Master, what’s wrong with you?”

“Ning Meiren bumped into me…” Li Jieyu pointed at Ning Wanyin and shouted with a look of grievance.

“Ning Meiren, you can’t take your anger out on me even though you’ve fallen from favor. You actually bumped into me on purpose!”

Ning Wanyin looked at her coldly with her dark eyes, “I didn’t touch you.”

“You did!” Li Jieyu repeated harshly.

Then she directed the two accompanying eunuchs, “The lower concubine deliberately bumped into the upper one. Come, slap her in the face!”

Li Jieyu had just returned from visiting the Imperial Garden with a group of concubines, accompanying Xue Zhaoyi.

There were so many people trying to curry favor with Xue Zhaoyi.

She couldn’t even speak.

In order to curry favor with Xue Zhaoyi, she deliberately tried to trick Ning Wanyin today to teach her a lesson.

The two accompanying eunuchs rushed forward, ready to strike Ning Wanyin in the face.

Lian Rui quickly stood in front of Ning Wanyin and shouted angrily, “None of you are allowed to touch my Master! Get out of the way!”

But she alone couldn’t stop the two eunuchs.

Ning Wanyin, seeing this, remained calm and said to Lian Rui, “Go and fetch His Majesty. Don’t worry about me.”

“Master, but they…” Lian Rui looked at Ning Wanyin worriedly.

Ning Wanyin just nodded affirmatively at her.

Seeing that her master was still calm and composed, the tacit understanding they had developed together made her know that, at critical moments, it would always be right to listen to her master.

Lian Rui turned around and quickly ran toward Qianxin Palace.

The words ‘His Majesty’ actually stunned the two eunuchs. They looked at each other and looked at Li Jieyu.

“Jieyu, if His Majesty comes later…”

Li Jieyu stood up with the help of the palace maids and sneered, “Didn’t she go and ask for help today? Did His Majesty take care of her? Humph, a concubine who has fallen from favor, who else does she want to scare? Slap her in the face!”

Just as she finished speaking, a clear female voice rang out nearby: “Stop!”

Tang Miaoling, wearing a blue dress, walked out of the bamboo forest.

A quarter of an hour ago—

She was wandering around Yonghe Palace, holding the ointment she brought specially for Ning Wanyin to remove blood stasis and reduce swelling.

Qiu Xia was very puzzled by this.

“Ning Meiren has fallen out of favor and is disliked by the Empress Dowager. If you go to give her medicine now, won’t you offend the Empress Dowager?”

“Alas, you don’t understand.” Tang Miaoling sighed.

She didn’t know the consequences of offending the Empress Dowager. But the consequences of offending her cousin were certain death!

She didn’t know whether she was now free from the death penalty in her cousin’s heart. Her cousin was a sinister and vicious person.

Don’t look at her smiling face at you.

In her heart, she knew full well that she was going to cut you into pieces.

Tang Miaoling wasn’t sure if she had saved her life. She felt like she hadn’t tried hard enough!

So Tang Miaoling tried hard to use her little brain, taking advantage of her past life memory, and decided to act out a sisterhood of ‘helping each other in times of need’.

When everyone thought that her cousin had fallen out of favor, she was the only one who offered comfort and support.

It had come to this!

Her cousin wouldn’t kill her again, would she?
