Xia Dongchun from Legend of Zhen Huan: I want to live till the last episode

The news spread quickly.

Xia Dongchun naturally found out about it as well.

"The Emperor is going to promote Noble Lady Fucha to concubine after the new year?" However, what Xia Dongchun was most concerned about was the promotion of Noble Lady Fucha to concubine.

Now that there is no main seat in the Yanx Palace and Noble Lady Fucha is pregnant, they will definitely not go to the trouble of moving to another palace.

Doesn’t that mean... Xia Dongchun frowned. She wouldn’t have to live under the rule of Noble Lady Fucha in the future, right?

However, the only good news may be that Noble Lady Fucha's promotion to concubine will have to wait until after the new year.

Even so, upon learning that she was about to be promoted to a concubine and become the head of the Yanx Palace, Noble Lady Fucha was already very proud.

Her relationship with Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong was not very good. Now that she knew that she was superior to them and that the two of them would live under her, Noble Lady Fucha was naturally very happy.

However, Xia Dongchun soon had no time to take care of this matter. In the past two days, she had asked Yin Zhu to keep an eye on the movements in Changchun Palace. When she learned that Cui Guo was heading towards Sui Yuxuan with a plate of snacks, Xia Dongchun immediately told Yin Zhu to go out as well.

Cuiguo walked along the palace road, holding a food box in her hand, feeling uneasy. She never expected that her own queen asked her to fetch croton seeds in order to harm Concubine Wan...

But the Empress had already given the order, so she had to do it and came out with the snacks.

Yinzhu had already seen Cuiguo at the corner. After a moment's thought, she quickly ran forward. Cuiguo kept her head down because she felt guilty, and the two of them bumped into each other. Yinzhu was very strong and knocked Cuiguo over. The food box in Cuiguo's hand also fell out, and the snacks in the box naturally rolled to the ground.

Cuiguo fell down, but she didn't care about the pain. Her first reaction was to make sure that the snacks were not picked up by others. She immediately got up from the ground and started picking up the snacks.

Yinzhu immediately joined her in picking up the trash, but Cuiguo quickly waved her hand and said it was not necessary.

But Yin Zhu said in a panic while picking up the food: "I think your sister is Cuiguo, the sister who is beside Concubine Qi. It's all my fault. Look, I knocked over all the delicious snacks. I helped your sister clean up the mess as an apology to her. I hope your sister can say a few good words for me in front of Concubine Qi, so that she won't punish me."

After hearing what she said, Cuiguo couldn't help but look at her again: "Are you... someone close to Concubine Zhao?"

"Sister Cuiguo, did you recognize me?" Yin Zhu was very surprised. "I am indeed a servant of Concubine Zhao. Our young lady wanted to eat chestnut cakes, and I was in a hurry to run to the imperial kitchen. I bumped into Sister Cuiguo. Please don't blame me."

Cuiguo waved her hands, and when she saw that the snacks on the ground had been cleared, she sighed, "It's okay, but these snacks were made by our queen herself for Concubine Wan because she was pregnant. It's a pity, but don't be afraid, I will explain to the queen and won't let you be punished."

Cuiguo thought that it was not easy to serve in the palace, so she should take this experience back and ask the empress what to do.

After Cuiguo left, Yinzhu revealed a piece of dessert hidden in his sleeve, quickly put it away, and returned to the Yanxi Palace.

After entering the house and putting away the cotton curtain, Yin Zhu took out the snacks in her hand and said, "My lady, I got them, but I dare not take more, for fear of being found to be wrong."

Xia Dongchun looked at the snack and said, "Go ask Doctor Xu to come over and have him take a look at the snack to see if there is anything wrong with it."

"Yes." Yin Zhu put down the snack and hurried out again.

When they arrived at the Imperial Hospital, Xu Zhiyun happened to be free, so Yin Zhu quickly brought the person back.

After checking the snack, Xu Zhiyun quickly came to a conclusion: "This snack is mixed with croton powder, but someone under you accidentally mixed it in?"

In fact, Xu Zhiyun himself did not believe this. How could the people in the imperial kitchen be so careless? It was unacceptable that croton was mixed into the food of the masters.

But Xu Zhiyun was well versed in how to behave in the palace and knew that some things could not be said too clearly.

So I just give the conclusion and say something casually.

As long as Xia Dongchun is not stupid, that's enough.

Xia Dongchun didn't say where the snack came from, but just said to Xu Zhiyun: "Thank you, Master Xu."

After sending Xu Zhiyun away, Xia Dongchun chuckled with an ambiguous meaning: "Zhen Huan is really an eye-catcher. An Lingrong has already given away the scar-removing glue, and Concubine Qi is sending away snacks mixed with croton."

"My lady, should we pretend that we don't know or tell the emperor?" Yun Ling asked Xia Dongchun for his opinion.

"Now that we have the evidence in our hands, it's up to us to decide whether to let Concubine Qi go." Xia Dongchun said, "But... with just this little snack, I'm afraid it's hard to prove that it was Concubine Qi who wanted to harm people."

"Then let's..."

"We'll just go with the flow and do you a favor. We won't show up." Xia Dongchun picked up the dessert. She had some grudges against Concubine Qi in her heart. Although Concubine Qi might have acted unintentionally at the beginning, Ling Yuan's premature birth was ultimately due to Concubine Qi bumping into her. Xia Dongchun thought that she was very narrow-minded.

"Let's go to Suiyuxuan." Xia Dongchun stood up. Yinzhu picked up the dessert, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and followed Xia Dongchun's steps with Yunling.

When they arrived at Suiyuxuan, Xiao Yunzi paid his respects and went in to pass on the message. When Zhen Huan heard that Xia Dongchun had arrived, she was stunned for a moment. She and Xia Dongchun did not have much contact on weekdays, and she didn't know what brought Xia Dongchun here today.

But since everyone was there, Zhen Huan still asked Xiao Yunzi to invite Xia Dongchun in.

After coming in and sitting down, Xia Dongchun glanced at the servants. Zhen Huan was so smart that she quickly guessed that Xia Dongchun had something to say to her, so she asked everyone else to leave.

"This snack was sent by Cuiguo, who was beside Concubine Qi, to Concubine Wan." Xia Dongchun said, Yin Zhu took out the snack from the handkerchief and put it on the table. Xia Dongchun continued, "A maid beside me accidentally saw it and knocked it over. She brought a piece back. I asked the imperial physician to check it, and he said there was croton in it."

After a pause, Xia Dongchun continued, "Whether you believe it or not is entirely up to Wan Guiren herself. I just want to accumulate blessings for Ling Yuan because I have a child myself."

No, Xia Dongchun thought to herself, she said that just to make it more likely that Zhen Huan would believe it.
