”Alright, you can leave now. I'm not sure if I can help you. I need to think about it.” After all, this was too unexpected, and as a woman of the harem, she couldn't participate in matters of the court, so she needed to think about it.

Yuan Yi stood up, and Rong'er raised her head to look at the old maid that led the group, and said softly: ”You don't have to blame her, everything is fine as it is.”

After that, Rong'er began to eat, remaining silent all the way until the restaurant closed up. After everyone withdrew, Xuande finally could not help but ask: ”Big sister, then what crime did Yuan Yi charge the Anhui Prefect with?” Although Xuande and Rong'er lived together under the Imperial Concubine, apart from the title, they still talked about seniority and seniority in the palace. Between the two of them, Rong'er was the eldest, while Rong'er was already the leader of the four imperial concubines in the palace, so when they came out of the palace, Xuande naturally respected them as well.

Rong'er smiled as he handed the letter to Xuande, ”A case of officials being mutual, each other being greedy for dirt and breaking the law, eliminating others and dirtying the government officials who had framed them.”

Xuande looked at the notice and exclaimed, ”Ah, this maid's father is from the prefecture, then she can be considered the daughter of a rich family.”

Rong'er nodded. ”The first time I saw this girl, I had a strange feeling. She seemed to be very magnanimous with her gestures, and her servants who weren't suffering had a sense of pettiness.”

”Sister Rong, are you going to intervene in this matter? Didn't the emperor always instruct us not to interfere in matters of storage along the way or in the imperial court? ” Imperial Concubine De remembered Xuan Ye's instructions.

”That's right, how could I dare to forget the emperor's orders?” ”But it happened right in front of our eyes. I feel pity for this girl.” Rong'er sighed.

”Elder sister Rong is being too kind again. Don't get yourself into trouble. It's just a one-sided speech from this girl. What if she makes a false accusation?” Xuande thought more, after all.

”A false accusation? Could such a girl be falsely accused? ”She snuck into this mansion to get close to the emperor. She's worried that the Emperor's life might be in danger.” Rong'er looked suspiciously at Xuande.

”Elder sister, there isn't anyone in this world. You should think about it more carefully. It's always better to be more considerate.” Xuande had already understood that she could not participate in this matter, because she could not decide if it was a good thing or bad thing, but it was better to avoid trouble. Of course, as a good sister, she would naturally advise Rong'er to not participate, but if Rong'er insisted, then there was nothing she could do.

”Well, I'll think about it tonight.” Rong'er nodded in agreement.

In the evening, Rong'er was sitting quietly in his room, the candles on the table were burning dimly, and Emperor Rong was sitting obediently on the other side of the table, just like Rong'er. Suddenly, he said, ”Mother, that sister is quite pitiful.”

That's right, that girl was only three or four years older than him, but she was already an orphan with both parents killed. How could she bear to not help? In truth, she knew that the Emperor respected her, so as long as she asked, the Emperor would definitely send someone to investigate. If there really was such a thing, if it was as Imperial Concubine De had said, and the Emperor went to all the trouble to investigate, how could she face the Emperor then?

With a soft sigh, Rong'er smiled as he looked at his daughter, ”Xian'er, do you really think that big sister has been wronged?”

”Yes, she doesn't look like a bad person!” Ying Zheng nodded without hesitation.

”Do you think the first lady should help her?” Rong'er asked.

”It should be! It would be a good thing if I help her mother! ” Rong Xian nodded with a smile and said straightforwardly.

Children's thoughts were always simple, but their hearts were simple and their thoughts were truest. Perhaps she should help this Chinese girl called Yuan Yi …
