Seeing that the weather was getting hotter day by day, Yinzhen planned to take his concubines to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat.

Zhen Huan has not yet regained favor, and Yinzhen was still angry and didn't plan to take Zhen Huan with him. However, in order to appease Nian Gengyao, he had to take Concubine Nian with him. When the Queen knew about it, she advised him to take Zhen Huan with him as well, otherwise it would be somewhat unreasonable that the culprit could go together, but the person who was implicated and lost his child had to stay in the palace.

Shen Meizhuang asked to stay in the palace to serve the empress dowager. Since she regained her status as a noble lady, she treated Yinzhen much worse than before. Yinzhen was annoyed by this and allowed her to stay in the palace.

In the end, it was decided that those who would go together were the Empress, Concubine Jing, Concubine Duan, Concubine Nian, Zhen Huan, Xia Dongchun, An Lingrong, Concubine Xin, Concubine Chun, Noble Lady Borjigit and Noble Lady Cao.

This time the Queen is still in Changchun Xian Pavilion, Zhen Huan is still living in Bitong Academy, Xia Dongchun and Noble Lady Borjigit are living in Xinghuachun Pavilion together, and Fucha promised not to come this time. After all, she is already in the cold palace, so the people living in Wuling Chunse this time are An Lingrong, Xin Changzai, and Cao Guiren. According to the old rules, Concubine Nian is still in Qingliang Palace, Concubine Duan has been ill for a long time, so her residence is quieter, still in Danbo Ningjing, and Concubine Jing is in Quyuan Fenghe, but this time the person living in Xianyue Pavilion in Quyuan Fenghe is Chun Changzai.

Xia Dongchun had just finished her period, and the servants knew that although she had lost her child, she was still in favor and Yinzhen often visited her, so they did not dare to neglect her in the slightest. However, Xia Dongchun was not in a good mood at the moment, and the presence of so many people in the room was annoying, so they asked everyone to leave.

Borjigit was sitting in her room. "I have been feeling unwell these days, and have been sick all the time, so I didn't come to see you. Who would have thought that something like this would happen..."

"I know that my sister is not in good health. Why should we explain our relationship?" Xia Dongchun held Borjigit's hand. "Don't say that my sister didn't come to see me. Didn't I go to see my sister too? I wonder how my sister is doing?"

Noblewoman Borjigit smiled faintly. Her health had never been good, a weakness she had been carrying from her mother's womb, but it was not a serious problem as she had been well taken care of at home since she was young. After the miscarriage, her body was severely damaged, so she had hardly been out since then.

"I'm fine," Borjigit was very worried about Xia Dongchun, but he didn't know how to express it in a tactful way. In the end, he just said, "As for you, I see that you still don't look very good. The imperial doctors are very skilled, but I'm afraid they can't do anything about this mental illness, right?"

Xia Dongchun lowered her head, lowered her eyes and smiled: "Don't worry, sister. I won't be depressed. Even if you don't say you want revenge for my unborn child, even if you say you want it just for Ling Yuan, I won't be depressed like this."

"Could it be Noble Lady Fucha?" Noble Lady Borjigit had not been out for a while and had no energy to pay attention to what was happening outside. In addition, Noble Lady Fucha and Xia Dongchun did not have a good relationship before, so she did not suspect that someone else had harmed Xia Dongchun. After hearing what Xia Dongchun said, her face changed immediately, "Do you know who it is? We can't let the person behind it go easily."

"I have asked someone to pass on a message and asked my parents to send someone to check," Xia Dongchun sighed and didn't explain too clearly, "Now we know that Lan'er is originally from Songyang County."

"Songyang County?" Noblewoman Borjigit quickly responded, "Could it be Noblewoman An? Isn't her father the magistrate of Songyang County?"

This makes sense. Lady Borjigit has also heard about the unpleasantness between Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong on the day of the palace selection. To be fair, if someone spilled hot tea on her carefully prepared clothes on the day of the palace selection, she would also be angry. After all, if she was not careful, she would be charged with impoliteness in front of the palace. Although Xia Dongchun was angry and some of her words were indeed ill-considered, didn't An Lingrong come to apologize when she first entered the palace, and didn't Xia Dongchun also expose this matter? Could it be that An Lingrong was still angry about this matter?

That's impossible, right? Xia Dongchun was very harsh that day, but I heard that Zhen Huan helped An Lingrong out later. After entering the palace, Xia Dongchun never made things difficult for An Lingrong again, right?

Noblewoman Borjigit frowned, and suddenly she thought of someone - the queen.

Although An Lingrong became good friends with Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang after entering the palace, anyone with a discerning eye can see that An Lingrong's relationship with Zhen Huan is no longer as good as before, and she is instead closer to the Queen.

Moreover, they lived together. An Lingrong and Fu Cha Da Ying had conflicts before. After all, since entering the palace, she could not count on both hands the number of times that Noble Lady Borjigit went to the Yanx Palace to find Xia Dongchun and ran into Fu Cha Da Ying making things difficult for An Lingrong. In this way, An Lingrong could not only get rid of the child in Xia Dongchun's belly, but also overthrow Fu Cha Da Ying in one fell swoop. Everyone thought that Fu Cha Da Ying was jealous of Xia Dongchun's pregnancy, so she murdered the royal heir, and An Lingrong only needed to reap the benefits.

Then, Xia Dongchun's answer confirmed Borjigit's guess: "Yes, I also suspect so. After all, we live together and know each other's situation best. If they really want to do something, An Lingrong does have a chance. Besides, An Lingrong is backed by the Queen. Fu Cha promised and Wanpin's child is gone, which is related to them."

"So, although Concubine An looks weak, she is actually a ruthless character." Concubine Borjigit sighed, and then told Xia Dongchun, "Fortunately, we are in the Old Summer Palace now. She doesn't live with us, otherwise she might think of some tricks to harm you. But we will return to the palace one day, so you must be extremely careful and don't let her take advantage of you again."

"Don't worry, sister. I suffered such a big loss once, how can I fall into her hands twice?" Xia Dongchun nodded heavily, "It's just that sister and I have a close relationship. I'm afraid that she will come to harm sister again. Sister, you have to be careful."

"Your Majesty, Xiao Xiazi is here outside." Yin Zhu came in and announced.

"Hurry up and call Xiao Xiazi in to see if the emperor has any instructions." Xia Dongchun and Noblewoman Borjigit looked at each other.

"Yes." Yin Zhu walked out quickly. Xiao Xiazi was a man in the imperial court and also Su Peisheng's apprentice, so it was naturally not easy to neglect him.

After a while, Xiao Xiazi came in and saluted them first: "I pay my respects to Concubine Zhao and to the noble Borjigit."

"Hurry up and get up, Xiao Xiazi, why are you here at this time? What does the emperor want?" Xia Dongchun asked excitedly.

Xiao Xiazi smiled and said, "Yes, your Majesty, the Emperor is practicing horseback archery in the Archery Tower. Please ask your Majesty and noble lady Borjigit to go over there."

"I understand. I'll be there right away. You go back and tell them that I'll be there after Lady Borjigit and I change our clothes," said Xia Dongchun.

Xiao Xiazi delivered the message and went back to reply.

"Come on, sister. Let's pack up and go over there. We shouldn't keep the emperor waiting for too long." Xia Dongchun stood up, smoothed the slight folds on the plain gauze flag dress with a sky-water green twined branch pattern, took a long breath, and pulled herself together.

Nobleman Borjigit also stood up, fanning himself: "Then let's go."
