”You... You chose me because you knew that I know that I have promised Yuan Zhou. Xinyu teared up and said excitedly.

”I don't deny that, I have heard that you were close to Yuan Yiren before.” Xiu Ping slowly said.

”You... Why did you harm Yi Ren? Yi Ren is such a good person! ” Xinyu's heart ached...

”You don't need to know why. You just need to do what you need to do!” Xiu Ping said coldly.

”I don't want it! I don't want it! ” Yin Xinyu shook his head in pain.

”Think about it carefully!” The corner of Xiu Ping's mouth raised, showing how confident he was.

From that day onwards, Xinyu was assigned to do the heaviest chores in the Yonghe Palace. She couldn't even see the Imperial Concubine De, let alone the emperor himself, so she often didn't have enough sleep. Xiu Ping was the steward's aunt in charge of the palace, so she could assign all the palace maid s to work by herself.

Since the Yonghe Palace was extremely close to her, she would frequently come into contact with her in the name of visiting Yi Ren. As time passed, Yi Ren gained trust from her, and she began to secretly place medicine in her food or tea. And in the Yonghe Palace, Xiu Ping kept his promise, allowing her to obtain the chance to follow the Imperial Concubine De and serve by his side.

But at that time, Yuan Yiren's child was no longer in such pain, and Xinyu felt sad looking at her. He often felt remorse in her heart, and thus when she was extremely regretful, she felt extremely guilty in her heart. Therefore, when Yi Ren became pregnant again, Xinyu was happier than anyone else, and took care of her with all his heart. This was also the reason why Rong'er had been curious why Xinyu treated Yuan Yiren so well …

Xinyu thought that things would be over once they were done with, but when Yi Ren became pregnant again, he came to find her again, to have her drug him again and threaten her. If she didn't do it, she would sacrifice herself to expose the matter of Xinyu harming Long Zi in the past, and make her and her family suffer. Due to the fact that Empress Xioayi had passed away during the battle, Xinyu always used all sorts of excuses to drag things out. She really could not bear to make a move on Yi Ren anymore …

It was only that day, when Xiao Qing heard their conversation, that Rong'er finally understood the reason why Xiao Qing had been acting strangely these past few days.

Rong'er closed his eyes lightly, opening his eyes and looking at Yi Ren, ”If Xiao Qing hadn't discovered you, would you have continued to hide it?”

”Elder Sister Rong, I really don't want to hurt anyone anymore. It is a kind of torture, I am tired, very tired, very tired. Sister Rong, tell me what should I do!” Xinyu looked at Rong'er with tears in her eyes with sincerity, ”Elder sister, will I die? Will I implicate my family? ”

Conspiracy to become a dragon! In Rong'er's mind, he instantly thought of the Zhang Leqi of the past. Rong'er felt a severe headache, while Yin Xinyu continued to cry until her heart was in a mess.

She steadied her mind, and said to Yin Xinyu in a low voice: ”This matter, I was really surprised. Go back and rest, don't do anything harmful anymore, let me think about it.”

Seeing that Rong'er had said these words, Yin Xinyu did not want to stay any longer, so he got up and left …

Rong'er sent Yin Xinyu off and sat back down by the table. Yin Xinyu had committed a heinous crime of defying the Prince, Rong'er was asking herself what should be done. Send Xinyu to the emperor? Does the empress dowager want her to walk the road of no return? She thought of Ruo Lan. She couldn't push Ruo Lan's only sister into a corner, but since Xiu Ping had such a malicious heart, how could she just sit there and watch? Rong'er's mind quickly thought about it. This Xiu Ping had been following Imperial Concubine De since he entered the palace, and was deeply favored by him. Then, what did this have to do with him? The more Rong'er wanted to feel, the more her head hurt … She was so afraid of any possibility of such a thing …

The candle flame on the table flickered uncontrollably as the cold autumn wind blew. Rong'er suddenly felt a chill, how was she going to settle this matter with Xinyu? Was the Imperial Concubine De involved? Rong'er really didn't know what to do with this debt …
