Concubine De paused while fiddling with her bodhi bracelet, and slowly turned her head to look down on Hu Luanfei, "Luanfei, things are not as simple as you two think. I have been working in the harem for many years, and the interests of the former dynasty are inseparable from the honors and favors of the harem. If you insist on destroying Concubine Shu, Beiqiu will lose two generals."

Hu Luanfei thought of the hard life that A Niang had lived in the past, and her voice was light but sharp: "It's not that my A Niang has no support, and it's not that no one has stood up for her. My queen, you have seen what my A Niang has been through in the past, and I remember your kindness in supporting A Niang, so I'm going to speak frankly. If my family is hurt because of the matter of Concubine Shu, don't blame me for being ruthless and heartless without considering our old friendship."

"Aren't you afraid that your business in Beiqiu won't survive?"

"This doesn't threaten me. Even if I lose everything, I will still seek justice for my mother."

"Hmph!" Imperial Concubine De wrapped the Bodhi bracelet around her wrist a few times and said, "If it weren't for my protection, you wouldn't be shouting in Yonghe Palace today. Little girl, I will protect you, Imperial Concubine Shu's daughter."

"Now that I have made it clear, from now on, you and I are enemies."

"So, where do you think you are?" As soon as Concubine De finished speaking, several eunuchs rushed in from outside the door.

Hu Luanfei glanced at everyone and finally landed on Imperial Concubine De. His black eyes were deep and heavy. "Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's blame for disturbing the distinguished guest of Daqian without permission?"

"How could His Majesty be angry with me for helping me teach a disobedient child a lesson?"

Hu Luanfei finally understood that in this harem, she, A Niang, and Xuanyuan Yuchuan were walking on thin ice. Everyone was a Kamen Rider, saying one thing on the surface but doing another behind the scenes. No wonder Xuanyuan Yuchuan was always fooled around.

As expected, a canary kept in a cage is unable to discern the dangers of the world outside the cage, and as stupid as he is, he falls into the trap time and time again.

Hu Luanfei raised his eyes, his expressionless face showing no emotion, but his voice was extremely gloomy, "Don't be complacent too early, it's easy to fail."

Having said that, Hu Luanfei wanted to leave. However, Concubine De had someone stop her and said, "I asked you to come, but I don't intend to let you leave."

Hu Luanfei was silent for a moment, then asked her in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Anything else?"

The atmosphere was tense for a moment, and Concubine De ordered someone to bring the things over, "Explain why you sent someone to investigate me and Nalan Qi."

On the tray was evidence of the relationship between Concubine De and Nalan Qi, including their correspondence, number of meetings, meeting locations, and what gifts they had given to each other.

It is written very clearly and you can understand it at a glance.

Only a fool would jump into a pit.

Hu Luanfei proved his innocence, "Your Highness, why do you think I sent someone to investigate? If there is no evidence, I will sue you for defamation and slander."

A hint of coldness flashed across Concubine De's eyes, "It seems that Princess Zhan does not intend to plead guilty."

"I am innocent. I have done nothing wrong. If you really can't produce any evidence, then bring the witness here so I can check and see if it is the person I sent out."

"Man, I've already dealt with it."

Hu Luanfei glanced at the statue of the Bodhisattva hanging on the wall and laughed, "You, you chant Buddha's name and eat vegetarian food every day. When you put your hands together, can you see the blood on your ten green fingers?"

Such a mocking attitude was undoubtedly a provocation. The slender fingers fiddled with the bodhi bracelet, and suddenly, with a fierce snap, the bodhi beads scattered all over the ground.

The anger in that behavior is self-evident.

Hu Luanfei wanted to get past the eunuchs, but failed and was grabbed by both hands instead.

She suppressed her displeasure and turned to look at Concubine De, "If my mother can't find me, she will definitely come to Yonghe Palace to ask for me."

"Heh." Concubine De sneered, exuding a murderous aura that could tear her apart. "What means does your mother have to fight me?"

"..."

Seeing that she didn't speak, Concubine De waved her hand to signal the eunuch to take her away.

Unfortunately, Hu Luanfei is not someone who would sit and wait for death.

She suddenly smiled, her thin lips raised in a mocking arc, and twisted the eunuch's hand with her backhand, "There is one thing you may not understand. You are not qualified to make decisions about my personal freedom."

In Hu Luanfei's eyes, there is no difference between Concubine De and Xuanyuan Li. Anyone who treats her, A'niang and Xuanyuan Yuchuan badly is an enemy. What's more, she has married to another country and is the princess of the famous King Zhan. Who dares to touch her? Even if they dare to do so, how many people have the courage to think that the King Zhan will let it go?

Her current attitude is just relying on her backing to hurt the Imperial Concubine's face and damage her reputation.

It is human nature to take advantage of the power of others to bully others.

It looked like there was no way to reach an agreement today, so Hu Luanfei simply made his attitude clear.

"I'm here to tell you to mind your own business, not to ask for your opinion."

Concubine De glared at her, "Are you telling me explicitly that you want to be my enemy?"

"Actually, I don't want to, but if Concubine De insists on having her own way, we have no choice but to go that step."

Hu Luanfei felt as if her heart was being squeezed hard when she heard that she was clearly going to be the enemy of Concubine De. She had considered Xuanyuan Yuqing's position, and perhaps he would be torn between Xuanyuan Yuchuan and Concubine De.

After saying these harsh words, Hu Luanfei once again left. This time, Concubine De did not ask anyone to stop her, but asked the nanny beside her to escort her out.

Hu Luanfei sneered sarcastically: "There is no need for this. I will go back to Chengqian Palace or the East Palace."

"Slave..."

"Shh!"

Just as the nanny was about to speak, Hu Luanfei silenced her.

Concubine De looked like she had eaten a fly, which was really beautiful.

Hu Luanfei reminded outside the door: "My Lady, General Nalan is already old, not as young and strong as those young freshmen who have just come out. Be careful and choose carefully, and take action if you find one that you like."

Concubine De put the cup heavily on the table and said, "Get out!"

Hu Luanfei bowed slightly and said, "Then I will take my leave."

"Do it!"

Just as Hu Luanfei was about to step out of the gate of Yonghe Palace, the nanny beside her stabbed her with a knife. Hu Luanfei felt a dull pain in her neck, and a dizziness drove away her consciousness.

"Your Majesty, if this matter is not handled properly, I am afraid there will be a conflict with Concubine Chen."

Concubine De disagreed, "She was promoted by me, so I should repay her kindness."

"General Nalan..."

"Tell him to take care of his disappointing sister. No matter how stubborn she is, I can't help her."

This was not the first time they helped Concubine Shu solve a problem, nor was it the first time they had an unpleasant argument over Concubine Shu's affairs, but each time they would reconcile not long after.

Now, Concubine De knew that Concubine Chen would come, and she was too lazy to waste any more words. Anyway, she would not give up until she achieved her goal.

"Your Majesty, the Concubine Chen is well prepared, we..." The nanny made a beheading gesture.

Concubine De stopped her: "Things haven't developed to this point yet."
