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

Although this method is not particularly clever, the queen has used it many times.

Xia Dongchun even has a little habit.

But no matter what she said now, it would be inappropriate. It would be better to remain silent. After all, she was not the only one mentioned by the Queen.

No matter what, what Hua Fei cares about most now should be the pregnant Concubine Chun.

As expected, Concubine Hua only glanced at Xia Dongchun, then set her sights on Zhen Huan and Concubine Chun, with a bit of sarcasm: "Concubine Wan, Concubine Chun is pregnant, she is in your palace, and she is close to you. You must take good care of her and not let the Dragon Offspring suffer any harm, am I right? Ah?"

Zhen Huan stood up and nodded: "Madam Hua Fei is absolutely right. I will do my best."

No one wanted to confront Hua Fei head-on. After all, Hua Fei was favored, domineering and unreasonable, and there was no benefit in arguing with her directly.

When Concubine Hua saw Zhen Huan acting like this, she thought she was afraid of her, and raised her chin proudly, full of arrogance.

The queen waited until their fight ended before she said in a pretentious tone, "Well, I'm tired too, you all should go back."

"Yes, the concubine is retiring."

After leaving Jingren Palace, the concubines returned to their respective residences, while Concubine Cao followed Concubine Hua to Yikun Palace.

An Lingrong lived with Xia Dongchun and could not avoid her no matter what. She could only lower her head and hope that Xia Dongchun would not embarrass her again.

Xia Dongchun glanced at her and smiled indifferently: "Does An Da Ying look very scared of me?"

An Lingrong was about to return to her own palace when she paused, turned back and answered with gritted teeth: "I dare not."

Xia Dongchun sneered, but didn't say anything else. He turned around and returned to his own palace with Yun Ling Yin Zhu.

An Lingrong bit her lip, glanced in the direction of the main hall, retracted her gaze, and took Baoying back into the house.

Ever since An Lingrong was released from house arrest, she has been thinking about how to regain the emperor's favor. However, An Lingrong seems to be unlucky because Yinzhen has not come to the harem for nearly half a month.

The weather turns cooler in autumn. That night, Xia Dongchun sits in front of the dressing table with only Yun Ling by her side. The candlelight flickers and the room is very quiet.

Xia Dongchun looked at the letter in her hand. It was the letter her father had secretly asked someone to bring in to remind her.

Yun Ling stood aside, paying attention to the movements outside, and asked Xia Dongchun: "Madam, what did the master say in the letter? What kind of letter did the master have to take the risk to ask someone to bring it in?"

After reading the letter, Xia Dongchun burned it immediately and replied to Yun Ling: "Father reminded me that if I see the emperor recently, I should be careful about what I say, because something big seems to have happened in the previous dynasty."

Yun Ling immediately thought of what happened to Prince Dun and Nian Gengyao in the previous life, so she stopped asking any more questions. Although they had already dismissed other people, it was better not to say things too clearly, otherwise who could guarantee that they wouldn't be overheard by someone with ulterior motives?

Yun Ling had told Xia Dongchun before about the downfall of Prince Dun and the Nian family, so when Xia Dongchun thought about the reminder in his father's letter, he naturally thought of Prince Dun and Nian Gengyao.

If the emperor really wanted to take action against the two of them, it would make sense that he had not had any free time during this period.

Xia Dongchun looked at the letter that had been burned to ashes in the incense burner, frowning, but still worried, and told Yunling: "Remember to pour out the ashes yourself, don't ask others to do it for you."

Yun Ling also knew that this matter was of great importance, and nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Madam, I know it."

Two days later, a major event happened in the previous dynasty. A censor impeached Nian Gengyao's subordinates for corruption and abuse of power, oppressing the people. For the first time, Yinzhen did not protect Nian Gengyao, but sent someone to ask Nian Gengyao whether he knew about this.

Everyone in the harem of the previous dynasty was very smart, so how could they not see the change in the wind direction? In the past, no matter what happened, as long as it involved Nian Gengyao, Yinzhen would always protect Nian Gengyao without asking the reason. But this time, although he did not reprimand him, he sent people to inquire.

Although it is called an inquiry, doesn’t it actually mean that you no longer believe in it or protect it?

Let’s not talk about what happened in the previous dynasty, and just talk about the harem. It is said that Hua Fei’s palace sent people to the Yangxin Palace to ask to see the emperor, but the emperor avoided them.

Three sets of tea sets have been broken in Yikun Palace.

"Your Majesty, calm down." Zhou Ninghai winked at someone to clean up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground while comforting Concubine Hua, "I think the emperor is just angry for a moment, and he won't really take his anger out on the general."

Hua Fei pinched her brows and felt a headache. "No, the emperor used to trust my brother very much, but this time he sent people to inquire. I'm afraid he believed the rumors and misunderstood my brother. I still have to go to see the emperor and clarify the matter for my brother."

Zhou Ninghai quickly stopped her: "Your Majesty, please don't do that. The emperor hates to see the harem interfering in government affairs. If you go to persuade him now, you will surely add fuel to the fire."

"Everyone can say it, but I can't say it!" Hua Fei was really worried, but she also knew that what Zhou Ninghai said made sense.

"It would be great if there was someone who could speak in front of the emperor right now." Concubine Hua murmured to herself. After thinking for a moment, her eyes suddenly fell on Songzhi who was massaging her legs.

……

The next morning, everyone went to pay their respects to the Queen. It was still early, the Queen had not finished dressing, Concubine Hua had not arrived yet, and everyone was talking.

"Have you heard? Last night, the emperor visited Songzhi, the maidservant beside Concubine Hua, and he made her a concubine this morning." Xin Changzai said casually, treating it as a casual chat.

"How come I haven't heard of it?" Concubine Qi was the quickest to respond. She never considered offending anyone when she spoke. "According to the ancestral rules, the promotion of palace maids must start from the rank of official girl, but this Zhi Daiyu directly skipped the rank of official girl and became a Daiyu. It shows that the emperor dotes on her."

This remark was full of sourness, and no one responded for a while. Concubine Jing was the good girl, and she finally gave Concubine Qi a way out: "The emperor has been busy with government affairs recently, so he should come to the harem less. It would be good to have a new person to relax him."

Speak of the devil, and here he comes. As soon as Concubine Jing finished her words, Concubine Hua came in with Songzhi.

"What are you talking about?" Hua Fei was still helped to sit down by Song Zhi. After Hua Fei sat down, Song Zhi stepped aside.

Seeing this, Concubine Qi wanted to quarrel with Concubine Hua again: "Hey, this Zhida Ying is already our sister, serving the emperor with us, why are you still treating Zhida Ying like a slave, Concubine Hua?"

Although Concubine Hua has been worried about the affairs of the Nian family during this period, her personality is such that even if she is really down and out, she will not allow people she despises to speak ill of her.

But before Concubine Hua could speak, Song Zhi bowed and said to Concubine Qi, "Concubine Qi has wronged Concubine Hua. I came from Concubine Hua's palace. Even if I am lucky enough to be favored by the emperor, I am grateful to Concubine Hua. So it is not Concubine Hua who orders me around, but I serve Concubine Hua voluntarily."
