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

An Lingrong lowered her head and didn't say anything for a long time. A gust of cold wind blew and she couldn't help shivering. Baojuan said anxiously, "My lady, you'd better go in quickly, or you might catch a cold. Even if the emperor wants to turn over your card, it won't work."

An Lingrong shuddered, and suddenly came to her senses: "You are right. The more this happens, the more I cannot blame myself. Until it is time to fly, I will just wait patiently."

After saying that, An Lingrong turned and went into the house. Baojuan let down the door curtain, breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and followed her in.

Yinzhen's bedroom

Xia Dongchun was carried and placed on the bed. She was nervous and happy at the same time. She couldn't help but secretly looked up at Yinzhen. Unexpectedly, she met Yinzhen's gaze. She was so scared that she quickly looked away.

"Why, are you scared of seeing me?" Yinzhen's voice was smiling, and his tone was quite gentle.

Xia Dongchun bit her lip and said, "I am not afraid."

Yinzhen propped up his head and looked at her from his side: "If you are not afraid, why don't you dare look at me?"

"I want to look, but the emperor is the Son of Heaven. He rules over all directions and is feared by the world. I dare not look too much." Xia Dongchun's mind was working fast, for fear that she would say something wrong.

Yinzhen paused and chuckled: "You are honest."

After a moment, Yinzhen said again: "I allow you to watch, what is there to be afraid of?"

Xia Dongchun bit her tongue, then slowly raised her eyes and met Yinzhen's gaze again.

......

Early the next morning, everyone came back from paying their respects to the Queen. Xia Dongchun was kept by the Queen to talk, so she came back a little late. As a result, just as she reached the gate of the Yanx Palace, before she even stepped into the palace, she heard noisy sounds coming from inside.

Noble Lady Fucha sneered: "Look at her pitiful appearance. I don't know who she is doing this for."

"I didn't..." An Lingrong argued in a low voice.

"Now that Concubine Xia has also gone to sleep with us, you are the only one left in our Yanxi Palace." Noble Fucha came from a good family. An Lingrong was so different from her, so she naturally would not give An Lingrong face, and her words were also merciless. "Tell me, does the emperor forget that there is such a person as you?"

After saying this, she paused for a moment, and Noble Lady Fucha covered her mouth in surprise, "Are you going to live like this for the rest of your life and die in the palace?"

An Lingrong's lips were almost bitten by herself, and her palms were left with marks from pinching. Her eyes were red and her tears were hanging on her long eyelashes.

Noble Lady Fucha frowned: "Who are you trying to show off to by acting so coquettishly? If you dare to seduce the emperor again after you meet him, I will punish you!"

Xia Dongchun was about to go in when she paused - these words sounded so familiar, she seemed to have said them in her previous life.

In this life, she avoided the beating. Would Noble Lady Fucha be the one to be beaten instead of her?

But Noble Fucha comes from a noble family. No matter what, Concubine Hua shouldn't treat her like this, right?

After much thought, Xia Dongchun decided to remind Noble Lady Fucha. If Noble Lady Fucha were to suffer because of her escape, she would not want to see it.

"Sister Fucha." Thinking of this, Xia Dongchun took Yunling in and stopped Noble Lady Fucha who was about to say something.

When she saw Xia Dongchun, An Lingrong's heart tightened. She had not yet forgotten the sarcastic remarks Xia Dongchun made to her last time when Noble Fucha had made things difficult for her.

Noble Lady Fucha turned around and looked at Xia Dongchun who was walking towards her. She frowned and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

Xia Dongchun smiled widely: "What is Sister Fucha doing? I heard a lot of noise in our Yanxi Palace from a distance, so I hurried in to take a look."

Noble Lady Fucha's expression suddenly changed: "What do you mean?"

Xia Dongchun smiled, as if she was just saying what she saw, and had no other intentions: "Sister, why don't I understand what you said? It's just that before I came in just now, many palace maids and eunuchs passing by pricked up their ears to listen to the excitement. I just don't know... whether it will be heard by the emperor, empress, or Concubine Hua."

Noble Lady Fucha stomped her feet in anger, glared at Xia Dongchun, then turned around and went back to her room.

Xia Dongchun glanced at An Lingrong and said nothing more. He then took Yun Ling back with him.

An Lingrong glanced in the direction of Noble Lady Fucha's room, then glanced at Xia Dongchun's back, and went back with red eyes.

"Why is the young lady so angry? We don't have to be enemies with Concubine Xia." Sang'er closed the door, turned around and asked Noble Lady Fucha with some confusion.

Noble Lady Fucha was so angry that she pulled her handkerchief. "Wasn't Xia Dongchun's words a warning to me? Wasn't that just helping An Lingrong? Did she think An Lingrong would remember her kindness? Don't be ridiculous. Did she think I didn't know what happened between her and An Lingrong on the day of the palace selection? Now she's pretending to be a good person!"

Noble Lady Fucha was so angry that her voice was a little too loud. Sang'er was so scared that he quickly advised her, "My lady, please don't be angry. It's not worth it to ruin your health. Besides..."

"And what?" asked Noble Lady Fucha.

"I feel that Concubine Xia was more like reminding you just now," Sang'er said slowly, "My lady, your voice was indeed a little loud just now. If it is true as Concubine Xia said, and someone with ulterior motives heard it and told the emperor, wouldn't it damage your image in the emperor's heart?"

"Is that so?" Noble Lady Fucha was puzzled, but the fact that she asked this question actually showed that she believed it to some extent.

Seeing that her persuasion was effective, Sang'er continued, "Of course, otherwise why would Concubine Xia agree to help An? No matter how you look at it, Concubine Xia seems more likely to be on good terms with you, young master. Didn't she say anything unpleasant today? It should be to remind you, young master, not to warn you."

Noble Lady Fucha believed it about 70% of the time. She had to say that Sang'er was quite smart and that Xia Dongchun did mean this exactly.

Xia Dongchun just didn't want to see Noble Lady Fucha follow in her footsteps in her previous life. An Lingrong was the one who harmed Yun Ling. She had promised to avenge Yun Ling, so it was impossible for her to help An Lingrong.

Not long after returning from paying his respects, Xiao Xiazi, who was beside Yinzhen, came, followed by people holding rewards in their hands.
