But Concubine Hua didn't buy her story: "That's easy for you to say. Shen Meizhuang and Fucha Yixin are enough to worry me. Now there's another Xia Dongchun?"

Concubine Cao opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Concubine Hua: "You are useless! How come Fucha Yixin and Shen Meizhuang were noble ladies as soon as they entered the palace, but you are only a minor noble lady after giving birth to a child?"

Concubine Cao pursed her lips, lowered her head and said nothing. Concubine Li was about to laugh at her, but the next moment, Concubine Hua turned to her.

"Lipin, the same goes for you. The purple stone is so precious. How come she got such a reward for her first time in the emperor's bedchamber, but you have never had any? Has the emperor visited your Qixiang Palace once during this period?" Hua Fei said in a sarcastic tone and rolled her eyes at Lipin.

Concubine Li couldn't laugh anymore. She looked away guiltily and stopped talking.

Songzhi rushed forward to comfort Concubine Hua: "Don't be angry, Madam. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt by anger."

Concubine Hua snorted coldly, picked up the record of the Jingshifang again and started to look through it. Only then did Concubine Cao dare to speak again: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xia is really not to be feared. If Your Majesty really doesn't like Concubine Xia...isn't there still Concubine Fucha? Concubine Fucha's family background is better than Concubine Xia's, and she was quite liked by the emperor some time ago. Could it be that Concubine Fucha would watch Concubine Xia like this?"

"What you mean is..." Hua Fei raised her eyes.

Concubine Cao smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, just let them fight. Your Majesty, just sit on the high platform and watch them fight with cold eyes."

Hua Fei smiled, with a little more satisfaction in her eyes: "You are smart, then I will help them."

"Your Majesty is wise." Concubine Cao nodded and lowered her eyebrows.

Concubine Li curled her lips, glanced at Concubine Cao with a sidelong glance, and felt very angry.

After coming out of Yiku Palace, Concubine Li walked so fast that Concubine Cao could hardly keep up with her.

As they were walking, Concubine Li suddenly stopped and Concubine Cao almost bumped into her again.

"You are really good at trying to please others!" Concubine Li turned around abruptly, looking grim and glaring at Concubine Cao with anger in her eyes.

Concubine Cao was startled by her and subconsciously took a step back. Yinxiu quickly supported her. Concubine Cao smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Lipin? If you are referring to what happened in Yikun Palace just now, I only said that because I am afraid that Concubine Hua will get angry and take it out on you."

Lipin looked at her suspiciously for a long time before she frowned and said, "Forget it, forget it. I don't think you can cause any trouble."

Concubine Cao smiled, and Concubine Li turned around and continued to go to Qixiang Palace.

Concubine Cao breathed a sigh of relief and followed Concubine Li with Yinxiu.

Three days later, at night, Xia Dongchun was flipping through a storybook when she heard some noise outside. She looked out and called Qi Ling: "What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"

Qi Ling knelt down and said, "My lord, please wait a moment. I will go outside to take a look."

Xia Dongchun nodded, and Qi Ling left. Not long after, Qi Ling came in hurriedly: "My lady, it's Noble Fucha and An Da Ying who are quarreling again."

Xia Dongchun paused while flipping through the pages of the book: "Are they making trouble again? What's the reason this time?"

Ever since she moved into the Yanx Palace, she stopped causing trouble for An Lingrong, and it was Concubine Fucha who had to make things difficult for An Lingrong from time to time.

Intermittently, Xia Dongchun's initial surprise and worry have turned into a habit now.

Qi Ling lowered her head and said, "It is said that Baoying, a maidservant beside An Ying, secretly poured incense ash mixed with horse urine at the back wall of Fu Cha Guiren's palace, and was seen by Sang'er beside Fu Cha Guiren."

"What?" Xia Dongchun lost interest in the notebook in her hand. She raised her head and asked, "Incense ash mixed with horse urine?"

"Yes, I heard it's something that can bring bad luck to people." Qi Ling whispered.

"Let's go take a look." Xia Dongchun stood up and took Yunling and Qiling with him to go out. When they reached the door, Xia Dongchun stopped and said, "Forget it, I won't go out. Qiling, you and Yunling can go take a look secretly and come back to tell me. It would be too obvious if I went out to take a look too."

"Yes, then the young lady just needs to wait in the house." After Yun Ling said this, she went out with Qi Ling.

Xia Dongchun sat back on the couch. Before she left, she came to her senses. She had heard that Noble Fucha had a big fuss after she had slept with him two days ago. If she went to watch the fun at this time and was discovered by Noble Fucha, she would probably be even more resentful of him.

Noble Lady Fucha will definitely not let this matter go. After all, given Noble Lady Fucha's personality, she doesn't like An Lingrong on a daily basis. Now that she has caught An Lingrong doing something wrong, how could she let it go easily?

As Yunling and Qiling went out, they saw a teacup thrown out from Noble Lady Fucha's room and shattered at the feet of An Lingrong who was standing there at a loss.

"My lady!" Bao Juan was startled and quickly stepped forward to block An Lingrong, checking her up and down, "Are you okay?"

Baoying knelt at An Lingrong's feet. A piece of broken porcelain from the teacup flew up and cut a thin wound on Baoying's face.

"I'm fine," An Lingrong reached out and pulled Baojuan's hand down, then turned her head and glanced at Baoying, and said to her, "Did you really do that?"

Baoying raised her head while crying, with the wound on her face still there. She reached out and grabbed An Lingrong's skirt: "My lady, I really didn't do it, my lady. I didn't do it! My lady, believe me, wuwu..."

"You didn't do it? So you mean I wronged you?" Noble Lady Fucha came out with Sang'er in a rage. She glanced at Baoying, then raised her eyes to look at An Lingrong, "Does An Da Ying think so too? Did I wrongly accuse the people in your room?"

An Lingrong glanced at Baoying again, her eyes also reddened: "Noble Lady Fucha, I also asked Baoying, Baoying said that it was definitely not her who did it, and she knows nothing."

Noblewoman Fucha sneered, "You are Baoying's master. What she did is related to you. I haven't asked you yet, but you are already making excuses for her?"

"Noble Lady Fucha?" An Lingrong was shocked. "I don't know what's going on either. This... there must be a misunderstanding. Please give me more time, and I will find out for sure."

"Misunderstanding? This must have been done by someone from our Yanx Palace, not someone in your room. Then it can only be someone in Concubine Xia's room?" Noble Lady Fucha curled her lips and asked loudly, her eyes also looking in Xia Dongchun's direction.

Yunling and Qiling were both shocked. They looked at each other and thought to themselves that something was wrong.

It seems that this time it is aimed at them.
