That day, the Queen only appeared after calibrating the time, politely exchanging pleasantries with the others without mentioning the tongueless Xinpeng. In such a large harem, the Empress was perhaps not the smartest person, but she was definitely the most capable of enduring. Now that Chen Guifei was in the limelight, the Empress naturally wouldn't oppose her or put herself in a difficult position. After enduring for so many years, what's the harm in enduring a little longer? The Emperor likes the person, she also has to welcome her with a smile. This is what true unity in marriage is. Xinpeng died that night, and the manner of her death was extremely cruel. Her mouth was stretched disproportionately wide. It was hollow inside, not only missing a tongue but also teeth. This matter eventually reached the Emperor's ears. That night, he touched Chen Guifei's arms beneath her gauze, carelessly joking, "I remember you were spontaneous when you first entered the palace. Why are you still the same after so many years?" Chen Guifei took the opportunity to fall into the Emperor's embrace and coquettishly respond, "Your Majesty, are you going to blame me?" The Emperor's hand reached into Chen Guifei's clothes, emitting a satisfied sigh. "Well, your temperament has always been like this. It’s those foolish things seeking death on their own." "Why is your skin getting softer and tender, and your body fragrance more enticing? I might as well seal you as the fragrance Guifei." Chen Guifei chuckled and looked flirtatiously into the Emperor's eyes, "If Your Majesty likes it so much, what are we waiting for?" I stood in the corner like air and listened to them intimately, sneering at the ridiculousness of the world. If someone is loved, then even their cruelty becomes spontaneity. Under the effect of the jade-scented cream, Chen Guifei's favor continued to grow, causing the jealousy of the other concubines in the harem. After all, Chen Guifei was ruthless, and having the Emperor retire would be better than enduring this. Chen Guifei also knew she was disliked by everyone, so while she was arrogant, she was still cautious with the jade-scented cream, wanting to keep it as her own secret. However, there are no impenetrable walls in the world. Rumors spread at some point. The Empress was also given some jade-scented cream, but being clever, she presented it to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was initially skeptical and had the palace maid beside her use the jade-scented cream twice. Then, the Emperor who came to pay respects almost lost his composure in front of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was furious that such a degenerate and vile thing had appeared in the harem, daring to be so bold. The Emperor had never thought that his recent lack of self-restraint would make him feel like he was being manipulated by Chen Guifei. The women of the harem could compete for favor as much as they wanted, but they shouldn't set their sights on the Emperor and treat him like a monkey, which was even more despicable. It also made him feel ashamed and angry that he almost lost his composure in front of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager ordered a thorough investigation of this matter, and absolutely no one involved would be spared.
