The next day, the sky will be bright.

Cheng Shuiyao sat steadily at the table with a fairly calm expression.

Because of Xiao Ji, she went to bed very early yesterday, so she was extra energetic today.

"Is it simpler?" Xiaoyun picked up the comb and asked with a smile.

Cheng Shuiyao didn't like to show off, and rarely wore heavy makeup when attending banquets in the palace.

"Yes," Cheng Shuiyao nodded, looked at herself in the mirror, slowly closed her eyes, and handed everything over to Xiaoyun.

She did not sleep, but entered space.

Everything was as usual in the space. Cheng Shuiyao went to the open space and lay down on her back, enjoying the quiet time for a while.

After finishing dressing up, Cheng Shuiyao opened her eyes, hurriedly used some things and went directly into the palace.

She actually came a little early, so Biyun was stunned for a moment when he saw her.

"Madam, you are really diligent." Biyun smiled apologetically and pointed to the room, "Our mother is not in good health. She doesn't get up early on weekdays. She hasn't woken up yet."

"That's really because I didn't think it through well," Cheng Shuiyao smiled, looked around, and pointed in the direction of the imperial garden, "I'll go sit in the garden first, and wait until the queen wakes up. Send someone to inform me.

One sound."

"Yes," Biyun nodded and watched Cheng Shuiyao leave with a smile.

After Cheng Shuiyao's figure disappeared around the corner, Biyun calmed down slightly and raised his legs to enter the house.

Huang Qiyu was indeed not awake yet, and the whole room was quiet.

Biyun leaned over gently and stirred the fire in the brazier to become more intense.

Huang Qiyu is weak and always afraid of the cold, so the fire in this palace is constant all year round.

While Biyun was carefully playing with the brazier, Huang Qiyu slowly opened her eyes, looked at it for a while, and then slowly called Biyun.

"My dear, you're awake," Biyun responded quickly and stepped forward to help Huang Qiyu up.

Huang Qiyu didn't reply, her expression was a little painful.

"Empress!" Biyun exclaimed, hurriedly took the spittoon aside and handed it to Huang Qiyu.

Huang Qiyu lowered her head and coughed uncontrollably. When she raised her head again, there was already a touch of blood in the spittoon.

After coughing up a mouthful of blood, Huang Qiyu seemed to relax, breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly said, "Bring me a glass of water."

Biyun heard the sound and quickly took action and handed the tea cup to Huang Qiyu.

Huang Qiyu didn't reach out, but took a sip of water from Biyun's hand, rinsed her mouth briefly and then spit it out.

"Take a plum and squeeze it." Biyun took the plum that had been prepared and handed it to Huang Qiyu.

This is an old problem for Huang Qiyu. Although it gets more serious every time, they are used to dealing with it.

"Alas..." Huang Qiyu took the words and glanced at them. She seemed to want to say something, but as if she didn't know how to speak, she held back what she wanted to say and opened her mouth to eat the words.

The sour and astringent smell diluted the smell of blood. Huang Qiyu exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly stood up.

"I got up quite early today," Huang Qiyu took a look at the sky outside and felt a little relieved.

"Speaking of this, please let me know, Xiao Ji's wife is here," Biyun quickly reported this matter, while helping Huang Qiyu clean her face.

"Mrs. Xiao Ji?" Huang Qiyu was stunned for a moment before answering the number. She turned to look at Biyun with some surprise, "Why is she here so early?"

"I don't know, slave, but judging from what she means, it shouldn't be anything special," Biyun shook his head and spoke while thinking.

"Then you should hurry up and help me clean up. Now that she's here, it's not good if I don't see her," Huang Qiyu slowly sat on the chair and spoke a little tiredly.

Biyun nodded slightly, picked up the rouge and gouache on one side and started applying makeup.

Huang Qiyu has been ill all year round and her complexion is naturally bad. When attending such a slightly formal occasion, she needs to cover up her pale complexion with rouge and gouache.

On the other side, Cheng Shuiyao was sitting in the pavilion of the Royal Garden, staring into the distance alone.

Xiaoyun stayed with Cheng Shuiyao and didn't speak. He just glanced at her from time to time to make sure she didn't have any instructions.

"Madam," a palace maid in pink stepped forward, and Cheng Shuiyao smiled slightly, reviving her spirit.

"What's the matter?" Cheng Shuiyao had a smile on her face and her tone was pretty good.

"My mother-in-law has already arranged everything. She invites the madam to come to the palace for a chat. The madam will just go with the servants."

The palace maid spoke in a low voice, and then led the way.

Cheng Shuiyao did not doubt his presence, stood up, straightened her clothes, and followed the palace maid directly.

The Imperial Garden was a bit complicated. Cheng Shuiyao followed the palace maid and walked around inside for a long time before leaving the Imperial Garden.

"Ma'am, please follow me closely," the palace maid's eyes flashed, but her tone was the same as before.

Cheng Shuiyao nodded and slowly quickened his pace.

But the further we go, the worse things get.

Cheng Shuiyao looked at the unfamiliar environment around her, subconsciously slowed down and looked back behind her.

When her eyes touched Xiaoyun, Cheng Shuiyao sighed in her heart and regretted not bringing Mo Qin with her today.

However, we must not continue on this road. Cheng Shuiyao narrowed her eyes and stopped walking.

"What happened?" When the palace maid saw her stopping, she didn't panic and just asked sideways.

"Where does this road lead?" Cheng Shuiyao looked at her with a half-smile, indicating that he had noticed something was wrong with this road.

"Madam is really alert." Seeing that she had discovered it, the palace maid simply stopped trying to hide it and looked up at Cheng Shuiyao, "It is indeed my fault to trick madam into coming here in this way, but there is really someone who really wants to see you.

Madam, please help me."

Um?

Cheng Shuiyao frowned, looked the maid up and down, and secretly thought about whether her words were credible.

"This matter involves the Jiang family's old affairs. Madam, please consider it carefully," the palace maid said hurriedly when she saw Cheng Shuiyao's hesitation.

Jiang family!

Cheng Shuiyao was shocked and raised her head suddenly.

Isn’t the Jiang family just...

"It seems that Madam has already made a decision, please," the palace maid saw the expression on her face changing several times, and knew what she was thinking, and stepped aside to get out of the way.

It looked like she had no intention of going down.

Cheng Shuiyao sighed and stepped forward.

"Madam," Xiaoyun suddenly reached out and grabbed her sleeve, looking at Cheng Shuiyao with some worry, "Isn't this really a trap?"

If this is a trap, that's all, but if it's true...

Cheng Shuiyao closed her eyes, not daring to bet on this matter. She stretched out her hand to take away Xiaoyun's hand, lowered her head and said seriously, "When you go back to the Royal Garden now, if you meet anyone who comes to see me, just tell them that I went to relieve myself."

, please do not expose my whereabouts, but if I haven’t returned after half an hour, you can go directly to the imperial concubine and ask her to send someone to look for me."

Just in case, she made two plans to ensure her own safety to the greatest extent.
