"You! I say pearl, are you really stupid, or are you just pretending to be stupid! Were those by the empress's side also allowed to speak carelessly? Pearl, don't play the fool for me over there. You think you can avoid my questions that way! Hurry up and answer me, did you just come out of the Wutong Palace, what are you going to do now? " Qiu Xiang almost died from Pearl's arrogant appearance, but she did not forget to ask her earlier.

"Why should I tell you? You say you're the empress's maid, but you're the one. Why don't you just say you're the empress? I just won't tell you. What can you do to me? "Hrmph." At any rate, this Qiu Xiang did not dare to do anything to him. Furthermore, she understood the principle that words are bound to lose. The Qiu Xiang in front of her clearly saw her abnormality and suspected him.

Qiu Xiang wanted to use her special identity as someone close to the empress to scare the pearl. She thought that the pearl would obediently submit and reveal what Qiu Xiang wanted to know. What Qiuxiang did not expect was that today was the day when the pearl would be the most proud of its entire life, or perhaps it was the day when it would feel the most glory, so Qiuxiang's tricks would not have any effect on the pearl.

If it was a normal day, Pearl would have avoided Autumn Fragrance even if she didn't dare talk back. In the past, when the pearl was taken away by Imperial Concubine Chen, it was bullied by her. Imperial Concubine Chen, out of her hatred towards Dongfang Ziqing from the past, didn't even consider the pearl as a human being. Imperial Consort Chen only used pearls as a tool to vent her anger.

Pearl was living a life worse than death, a life in danger, at the side of Imperial Consort Chen. Just when Pearl thought that she could not hold on any longer and was about to die, Yi Fei appeared in front of Pearl. Not only had he saved the dying pearl from Imperial Consort Chen, but he had also brought it back to his own palace.

Yi Fei had taken good care of the pearl. Not only had she saved the dying pearl from the wild ginseng bestowed upon her by the emperor, but she had also satisfied her favorite hobby of eating it. Yi Fei gave the pearls whatever she wanted to eat. From the time the pearls followed Yi Fei back to the Yi Palace, it was basically a carefree and leisurely life. But now, all of this had been broken by the unexpected death of Chun Er. Yi Feifei had suffered injustice and was sent to the Sky Prison. Now, it was unknown how she was faring in the Sky Prison.

As such, Pearl only wanted to rescue Yi Fei from the Sky Prison as soon as possible. With the trust of Dongfang Ziqing and the encouragement of the others, she gained a lot of courage and strength. However, he did not know much about Qiu Xiang. Thus, Qiu Xiang treated pearl very arrogantly, and the pearl also responded to Qiu Xiang with an even more arrogant attitude. Not only did Qiuxiang not ask the pearl about anything useful, she was also angered by the pearl. The birth of one Buddha, the ascension of two Buddha.

"You! "Pearl, who gave you the guts to eat a leopard today? How dare you speak to me like that? I'll tell the empress later, you'd better be careful not to take the consequences!" Qiu Xiang said angrily.

"Alright! Fine! You should hurry back to find your esteemed empress. You've been out for so long, I'm guessing your esteemed empress must have been waiting anxiously for you! Hurry up and go back. Today, I still have some matters to attend to, so I don't have the time to greet you. Goodbye! " Pearl still had a tugging expression as she spoke to Qiuxiang.

"You!" Qiuxiang could only say one word before she couldn't say anything else. Thus, she could only head back in a huff to find her empress. Pearl waited for Qiuxiang to leave before letting out a loud laugh. Luckily, Pearl had already left the imperial kitchens for quite some distance, or else they would have been scolded by the concubines elsewhere. Every time they killed a pig, they would be so careless that the pig would always let out a loud shriek.

Actually, Pearl's laugh wasn't unpleasant at all. It was just that she had too much fat on her body, so the sound she made was rather low. However, when paired with Pearl's crazy laughter, it was definitely not that pleasant.

Pearl laughed as she walked in the direction of the Palace, and the more she thought about it, the more pleased she became with herself. Furthermore, Pearl knew that Big Brother Mine was looking at her from nearby, so she must have also seen this scene. Upon thinking of the pearls, Chu Feng raised his head and stuck out his chest. When paired with the pearls' enormous body, he appeared even more menacing.

Pearl's journey could be considered rather peaceful. Other than the autumn fragrance that had caused Pearl to feel cold in the vicinity of the imperial kitchens, nothing else had happened. Pearl also knew that things were urgent and that time was running out, so she left as quickly as possible when she saw that there were fewer people on the road, in order to get to the Palace of Tzu Ning as soon as possible.

To be honest, walking the pearl was a long and arduous journey. For Pearl was too fat, and though she was out of breath, Pearl walked hard.

Pearl knew that Yi Fei was still suffering in the Celestial Prison. Pearl can do not much, but hope to be able to help through their own efforts. Pearl knew that this was an opportunity Dongfang Ziqing had given her. To her, personally coming out to rescue Yi Fei was something that held meaning.

Pearl thought as she walked. Soon, she saw the distant Tzu Ning Palace, the palace where the empress dowager lived.

When they reached the entrance, Pearl stepped forward with the palace maid guarding the entrance and said with a smile, "Please inform them that Pearl has brought Imperial Concubine Yuwen's letter to pay a visit to the Old Empress Dowager."

"Yes, please wait a moment." The palace maid was very polite as she nodded at the pearl before quickly entering the palace. It looked like this palace maid was aware of the deep friendship between Dongfang Zi Qing and the empress dowager, so she was rather polite to Pearl who had come to visit her. She wasn't like the concubine Qiu Xiang who was by the empress's side.

After a while, the palace maid ran out and said to Pearl, "The empress dowager has invited you." She then extended her hand and gestured for them to enter. Pearl saw that the palace maid in front of her was very polite and also became very happy. Thus, she smiled at the palace maid.

"Right." Pearl nodded her head slightly, then followed the palace maid into the peaceful palace where the empress dowager resided.

When they reached the door of the hall, Pearl stopped walking, bent down, and respectfully said, "Maiden Pearl, bring Imperial Concubine Yuwen's letter here to pay her respects to the empress dowager." Pearl knew that she had started to get into the main topic, so she did not dare to be negligent and acted courteously.

"Mm, come in." A benevolent voice sounded from the main hall.

Pearl straightened her body and smiled faintly. She smiled at the palace maid, who was still standing by the side. Then, she walked into the palace by herself.

Entering into the hall, what entered was a buddhist altar with a buddha sitting on it, smiling while pinching his fingers.

Inside, there was a bed. The empress dowager sat on it, smiling as she looked at Pearl as she entered.

Pearl did not raise her head. Instead, she lowered her head respectfully and slowly walked inside.

When they reached the front, Pearl bowed towards the empress dowager respectfully and said, "Yi Palace's maid Pearl has brought along Imperial Concubine Yuwen's letter and has come to pay her respects to the empress dowager. "Imperial Concubine Yuwen told the pearl to tell the empress dowager that Imperial Concubine Yuwen really misses the empress dowager, but she's been busy these past few days with Imperial Concubine Yi's matters, so she didn't have the time to pay her a visit to the empress dowager. She hoped that the empress dowager could understand the difficulties Imperial Concubine Yuwen faced." Unexpectedly, at the crucial moment, Pearl did not disappoint Dongfang Ziqing, and she said something that was both reasonable and flawless.

"No need to be so polite. Raise your head and let This Dowager see." The empress dowager sat upright on the bed and said benevolently. Pearl raised her large head and looked innocently at the empress dowager with a harmless expression.

"Your name is Pearl, right?" If you had introduced yourself as a female servant of the Yi Palace, then why would you bring the letter written by imperial concubine Yuwen to the Tzu Ning Palace? " The empress dowager didn't show any expression as she looked at the pearl and said calmly.
