In Chenming Palace, there was nostalgia. Except for the close maids Shu Tong and Yue Xi who were serving each other, the others were dismissed. The already empty palace seemed even more empty and deserted.

Concubine Xian was standing next to the large rosewood long table and was painting. She was wearing two gray geese, snuggling each other and combing their feathers.

Concubine Xian devoted herself to painting without paying attention to the things beside her. Yue Xi was there several times and wanted to speak but stopped, and finally made up her mind to say: "Empress, we have been locked up for three days. We should think of a solution. What if we lock us up for the rest of our lives?"

Concubine Xian gently picked Emei, moistened the ink color, and said calmly: "I believe that those who are clear will be clear, and not least, I can't think of a way."

Yue Xi said anxiously: "Princess Ying has such a good relationship with you. I'll ask someone to send her a letter and ask her to find a way to save us."

Concubine Xian paused and frowned, "She is about to give birth. At this time, I don't want to pull her down and wade into this muddy water."

Yue Xi was still talking, Shu Tong hurried over and pulled her aside, saying, "Empress has its own qualities, so don't disturb the empress from painting. Although we have been banned, we are not short of clothes and food. What are you worried about?"

Yue Xi stamped her feet and said, "Sister, look, the food sent in by the Ministry of Internal Affairs every day is either cold or rotten. Who can stand up to such a hard life?"

While talking, the gate of Chenming Palace was opened with a creaking sound. Yue Xi was happy and shouted: "The door is open. Has the emperor sent someone to send us an order to let us go out?"

When Concubine Xian heard the sound, she put down her pen and walked to the outer hall. She saw a young woman in gorgeous clothes holding a maid's hand and stepping into the hall. The heavy door was closed behind her again.

Concubine Xian looked at the woman's face and found that it was Li Changzai. She was very surprised and said strangely: "Li Changzai? How did you come into the hall?"

Li Chang smiled softly, closed her hair, and replied, "I bribed the guards who were guarding the gate and spent a lot of money!"

Concubine Xian became more suspicious and asked, "I have never dated you, so why are you like this?"

Li Chang covered her mouth and laughed out loud. She glanced at Shutong and Yue Xi. Concubine Xian understood and ordered her to avoid it.

Li Chang slowly stepped forward, and spoke softly, his voice clear and pleasant: "Did the concubine think the concubine is here to care about the concubine? The concubine was wrong, and the concubine is just here to make trouble."

Concubine Xian said in surprise: "I have no grudges and no grudges with you, why do you say this?"

Li Chang hummed softly on his nose and said, "Empress, you have no grudges with me, but your father has a deep grudge with me." At this point, Li Chang shot a hatred look in his eyes, shooting directly on Concubine Xian like a sharp blade.

Seeing that Concubine Xian looked confused, Li Chang stepped forward and said angrily: "My mother's family was originally a salt merchant family in Caozhou. My father has been in the business of official salt. Unexpectedly, for his own self-interest, your father Xiao Yan accepted bribes, colluded with other salt merchants, and broke into a trap. In the end, my family was defeated and his debt was high. My father committed suicide. My mother also followed her. My sister, who was only five years old, was sent to the palace as a slave and a maid. It turned out that my father and mother were in love, and the zither and the serpent. My sister and I were also a lady from a family. Now the family was busy, and my sister was still missing. All this is thanks to your father!"

Concubine Xian listened in a daze, stunned for a moment, unable to speak for a long time.

Li Chang continued to accuse her with hatred in her eyes, "Your father killed my father and mother, and my sister's life and death are unknown. Then I will add it to you and let him taste the taste of losing his closest relatives. Didn't your father always rely on you as a concubine and do evil outside? If you fall, I see how he will accomplice the tiger!"

Concubine Xian seemed to have just woken up and said, "So it was your design for the jade plate?"

"Not bad!" Li Chang raised his chin slightly and sneered: "I bribed the guards guarding the Taimiao and stole the jade plate. However, this is far from killing you. I have a killer weapon!"

As he said that, Li Chang took out a small roll of rice paper from his body and slowly unfolded it towards Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian's face suddenly turned pale after seeing it clearly.

Li Chang saw it and said proudly: "The Queen Mother's painting skills are so perfect. The people in this painting are so similar. People can tell who the painting is. If the concubine is not wrong, the person in this painting is the lover before the Queen Mother enters the palace, that is, the Queen Mother Ying. Queen Mother, if these paintings are seen by the emperor, what do you think the consequences will be?"

Concubine Xian instantly understood that these paintings were usually hidden in the most hidden place in the inner room, but now they have come to Li Changzai's hands, and there must be a traitor around her.

Concubine Xian said slowly: "Now I have a handle on your hands, and let your hair fall. But if you send this painting to the emperor, it will only implicate other innocent people."

Li Chang laughed: "Concubine Xian is indeed a love-in-law. She is still protecting her lover at this moment. If you don't think about it, you will be unable to protect yourself. However, I don't plan to present this painting to the emperor for the time being. Yingpin is kind to me, and I am not that ungrateful person. For the sake of others' reputation and life, as well as Princess Qingning's future, please consider it yourself!"

After saying that, Li Chang put away the scroll and walked to the palace gate. She knocked on it a few times. The door opened. She stepped out of the threshold, looked back at Concubine Xian, turned around and left, and the palace gate closed again.

Concubine Xian felt that his internal organs were like arrows piercing his heart, and he was almost unsteady. Shutong hurried forward to support him. Concubine Xian broke away from Shutong's hand, forced a smile, and said, "I want to purify myself, you can go down first." After that, he staggered on the couch.

Before Shutong saw that her expression was very different, she was very concerned, but now she couldn't bear to leave. Concubine Xian waved to her repeatedly, and then she slowly left the hall.
