"Miss, you're awake?!" When the eunuch saw Shen Zhi Qiao walking out from the palace hall, he quickly regained his composure.

He saw that she was wearing only a thin garment so he hurried to support her arm and said: "Miss, it's cold outside. You should go back to the hall."

Shen Zhiqiao knitted his brows as he glanced at his outstretched hand, before looking at the group of palace maids kneeling on the ground when she came out. He felt a headache coming on, "All of you, stand up."

The palace maids were still kneeling, their heads lowered as they prostrated themselves on the ground.

The eunuch, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows arrogantly and said, "Since the ladies have already told you to get up, then get up."

As soon as he finished speaking, the palace maids stood up. This made Shen Zhiqiao look at him in a new light and asked, "What's your name?"

"This servant headed south on the orders of the empress dowager to take care of the young lady." When he talked about the empress dowager in the south, his expression was especially proud.

On the orders of the empress dowager?!

Shen Zhiqiao was somewhat surprised. He originally thought that she was listening to Tuoba Yu's instructions, but she was the empress dowager instead.

No wonder the ladies had listened to him.

However, he was starting to feel uneasy.

They didn't understand what the empress dowager's intentions were.

"Beauty, are you alright?" Although her voice was not loud, it was enough for everyone present to hear.

Shen Zhi Qiao raised his eyebrows and looked over. When he saw that half of her face was already swollen, his face immediately darkened. He shook his sleeves, brushed away his hands that were heading south and walked over.

"Beauty Zheng, the wounds on your face do not look light. There is a ointment to help you remove blood stasis, how about we go in and let Fu'er wipe it off?!"

When he heard this, he hurried to stop her. "Miss can't do it. Before leaving, the emperor ordered his servants to not let anyone take even half a step into the Dragon's Nest Palace."

The words were as follows: To the south, you will guard my Dragon's Nest tonight. If you let any living thing, no matter what, fly into it, I will take your dog's head, do you understand?!

During the winter, things like flies could still be avoided. As for other living objects, such as concubines, they were all dressed up to attend the empress dowager's birthday banquet tonight. At that time, he felt that this task wasn't that difficult.

But for some reason, even though it was the empress dowager's birthday banquet tonight, the concubines had all gone to offer their blessings to the empress dowager. In reality, they had spent all their efforts on the empress dowager's body in hopes of receiving a night of sympathy from the empress.

Ye Zichen looked at the Zheng Beauty in disgust, but she didn't know what was good for her, so she ran over to the Dragon's Nest and insisted on going in to see the girl.

He refused to leave no matter what. In the end, he had no choice but to bring out the empress dowager to intimidate her. If she still didn't leave, then he could send someone to report to either the empress dowager or the emperor.

Actually, if she really didn't leave, he couldn't possibly report it at this time because he had good eyesight. It was purely because he wanted to drink from her.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to extend his hand to falsely invite someone to report to him, she suddenly moved closer to him. As he waved his hand to show his authenticity, she used a breath, causing her face that had suddenly come close to him to swell up.

He was just a small eunuch. Although he was the empress dowager's favorite person, a red person was still a servant, and no matter how popular he was, he was still a servant. And while the beauty Zheng was not favored, she was still the emperor's woman after all.

He had been serving the empress dowager for so many years, and everyone had to give him some face. How could he allow a mere palace maid to stop him?

Moreover, if it really did happen to the empress dowager and the emperor, they might not even punish him. Her crime of disregarding one's will wasn't light, so she might as well become ferocious.

Feeling his hand being pulled out, Shen Zhi Qiao's brows slightly knitted, looking towards the south. "If you accept the emperor's orders, then you can rest assured. If the emperor blames you, then I will bear the consequences myself."

If you only took care of me under the orders of the empress dowager, then you should have taken care of my feelings as well.

I'm not happy now, but it's your fault. If the empress dowager knew that you can't handle such a small matter well, what do you think she would do?! "

The corner of her mouth twitched. This girl really had a glib tongue.

He had followed the empress dowager south for many years and had never done anything that would disappoint the empress dowager …

As for her orders, he had to do them well.

Thus, he took a few steps back and lowered his head to say nothing.

Seeing him act this way, he knew that the other party had silently agreed to it.

Shen Zhi Qiao turned to look at Zheng Mei and asked, "Can we go in now?"

The eyes of the Zheng Family's beauty looked at her with moist eyes before lightly nodding her head. "Thank you, my lady."

Shen Zhi Qiao smiled but did not say anything. He walked in first and headed towards the hall.

After a while, he came out with the ointment on the bedside table.

Seeing that she had only stepped into the entrance of the hall and not the entrance, Shen Zhi Qiao waved her hand. "Zheng Mei, the wind outside the hall is very strong. You may come in …" "Little Fu, come in as well."

Fu'er glanced at Zheng Xian`er, and upon seeing her nod, she stepped in to help her walk in.

"Sit down." Shen Zhiqiao sat on the side of the brick bed, gesturing for her to sit down. He pushed the ointment in his hand in front of her and said, "It's winter, and the wounds on your face shouldn't be blown. If it breaks, I'm afraid it will scab."

Upon hearing this, she only smiled faintly, as if she didn't care about the fact that her face would be ruined.

However, Fu'er tensed up, and hurriedly used ointment to wipe it off for her.

"Earlier, I heard from inside the hall that a beauty was looking for me. Is there something you need?" Shen Zhiqiao blinked at her with curiosity in his voice.

If she remembered correctly, the moment she asked her to enter the hall last time, she fled as if she was escaping.

But this time, he took the initiative to look for her. He didn't even chase her away to the south, and he still … How interesting!

"It's the empress dowager's birthday today. I had purposely prepared to go to the birthday banquet. "But two days ago, Imperial Concubine Hua recovered from her illness and made things difficult for me. She did everything possible to prevent me from attending the empress dowager's birthday feast, but I'm too weak to do anything but …"

Saying that, she looked up at Shen Zhi Qiao, and then suddenly reached out and took her hand: "Miss, Imperial Concubine Hua's power in the palace is only below that of the empress dowager. Although her father Hua Shuo had a serious illness a few days ago, and adding to that the matter of her younger brother, Hua Shuo's power has greatly decreased, but Hua Shuo has been an official in the imperial court for many years.

Furthermore, her personal servant's hands had been broken by the emperor just because she beat her. The other concubines, who had always been under Imperial Concubine Hua's command, had now scattered quite a bit, so Imperial Concubine Hua must be extremely resentful towards her.

I was worried that Imperial Concubine Hua would once again harm this young lady, so I deliberately came over to inform young lady that I hope that young lady would be prepared for something. "

To her, the words were sincere and kind.

Shen Zhi Qiao's reaction was light. His large eyes seemed to inadvertently sweep past her as he held her hand. "Zheng Mei first asked for mercy in front of Imperial Concubine Hua, then disregarded the emperor's orders and barged into the Dragon's Nest Palace …" Beauty Zheng's sincerity really moved Qiao Qiao's heart. "

He lightly patted her hand, then held up the teacup and personally poured tea for her.

Seeing this, Zheng Mei-jie could be described as extremely beautiful. She quickly extended her hand to stop him, "Miss, you can't do this anymore. How can I let you do this yourself? Isn't this trying to kill me?"

"She risked her life to send a message for Qiao Qiao. If Qiao Qiao were to pour a cup of tea to express her gratitude, how could she say 'perverse'?" He picked up the small porcelain cup from the table and placed it in front of her. He lifted the teacup and prepared to pour it for her.

However, the beauty Zheng's face was still filled with fear and trepidation. Even Fu'er had come to stop her.

The few of them were flustered, so Shen Zhi Qiao 'accidentally' poured the tea out of the cup and poured it onto Zheng Mei's hand.

"Ah …" The scalded Zheng beauty cried out.

Shen Zhi Qiao was also 'shocked' and immediately bent over to wipe away the water stains on her sleeves. As she lifted her sleeves, she frantically pulled them back, covering her hands with her sleeves. With an expression of patience, she smiled and said, "It's alright, the water isn't very hot."

As she spoke, she glanced at Fu'er, who was standing next to her.

Hearing what she said, Shen Zhiqiao heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good …" He then added worriedly, "If you are injured, let me apply some medicine."

Zheng Mei's eyes flickered, her face twitched uncontrollably as she nodded her head with a smile.

Right at that moment, a loud sound came from outside the hall. The few of them looked out from within the hall and saw a beautiful firework in full bloom, illuminating the entire night.

The scene in the sky was extremely beautiful. The flying sparks were like falling meteors that fell down from the sky, it was extremely beautiful.

The smile on Shen Zhiqiao's face sank bit by bit. His expression was somewhat wooden as he stared blankly at the scene in the sky.

When the beautiful woman saw this, she lowered her gaze slightly before smiling. "I heard that this fireworks was specially prepared by Marquis Zhong Lie for the empress dowager's surprise …" "I've never seen such a beautiful scenery before …"

He shifted his gaze to her and spoke sincerely, "Miss, I know that there's a place in the palace where we can take a panoramic view of the entire palace. Shall we go together?"
