Wei Yingya had just arrived at the gate of Yixiu Palace and hadn’t even had time to go to her own yard yet, when she was knocked to the ground by a concubine who came out from inside.
“Who is this person, so ignorant of etiquette, daring to offend me, Zhang Zhaoyi!” Zhang Zhaoyi said with a displeased expression.
Wei Yingya didn’t remember who she was, but since she was a Zhaoyi, she immediately got up from the ground and bowed, “This concubine greets Zhaoyi. This concubine didn’t mean to—”
“Sister Zhang, my cousin definitely didn’t bump into you on purpose.” Wei Yingshu, standing beside Zhang Zhaoyi, said with a smile.
“Could you just give her a light punishment and let it go?”
Zhang Zhaoyi squinted at Wei Yingya: “So it’s the favored Ying Meiren… How come you look so haggard? I didn’t recognize you at first glance. As a lower-ranking concubine, you dare to offend a higher-ranking one. For the sake of your cousin, I’ll only give you a small punishment.”
“Guards, slap her in the face!”
Wei Yingshu said with concern, “Sister Zhang, please leave this small matter to me. You still need to go to Shu Fei’s palace for tea, so I wouldn’t dare to take up your time.”
“Alright, then I’ll leave it to you.” Zhang Zhaoyi said this and turned to leave.
She deliberately bumped into Wei Yingya, using her position to give Wei Yingshu a platform.
She was originally an old concubine from the Prince’s palace, and immediately sided with Cen Jieyu.
It’s good to have a big tree to lean on for shade.
With Cen Jieyu’s connections, it would be very easy for Wei Yingshu to deal with Wei Yingya.
Wei Yingshu raised her hand and slapped Wei Yingya hard across the face.
“Cousin, do you think you can get revenge just because you’re out? I can beat you up anywhere!”
Wei Yingya had just come out of the Cold Palace and was already weak. She was slapped to the ground.
“What are you all standing there for? Help my cousin up!” Wei Yingshu glanced at the palace maids.
Frightened, Dongwu trembled and helped Wei Yingya up.
Wei Yingshu rubbed her wrist: “It hurts to hit you. Qiu Shan, keep hitting her. Hit her for a full hour.”
“Yes.” Her personal maid replied.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
In front of the gate of Yixiu Palace, the crisp sound of slaps echoed.
Wei Yingya’s cheek was swollen and red from the beating, and a trace of blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
She remembered the palace dramas she had watched in her past life, where the heroine would turn evil and seek revenge after being beaten.
But even if she turned evil a hundred times, she still couldn’t defeat Wei Yingshu.
No matter how ingenious a plan is, to put it into practice, it requires manpower, connections, and powerful backers.
Without any powerful backing, even if she were to win by sheer luck, the Cen family could easily eliminate her.
Wei Yingya suddenly realized something: she might not be the female lead at all.
However, she can be the female lead’s teammate!
In this harem, there will always be someone who will one day become the empress dowager.
First, she can rule out Ning Wanyin.
Such favored concubines, who make enemies on all sides, never survive more than three chapters.
All the concubines in the harem flashed through her mind one by one.
She didn’t remember many people.
But one person quickly caught her attention.
‘She doesn’t attract attention in the early stages, and because she’s sick, she has to remove her jade token and can’t serve the Emperor. Isn’t this the standard template for a female lead?’
‘Even if she encounters danger, she can turn misfortune into good fortune without doing anything. The female lead’s halo is at its peak…’
‘She also has a cousin with whom she has a close relationship, and this cousin is the Emperor’s favorite concubine, who is not far from death. According to the laws of palace intrigue dramas, as soon as her cousin dies, she will immediately turn evil, actively seduce the Emperor, and go on a killing spree in the harem to avenge her cousin, gradually becoming the empress dowager. Doesn’t this sound just like a palace intrigue drama I watched in my previous life?’
