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

That night, Juqing was on duty, so Baoying took advantage of no one paying attention and slipped over to Xia Dongchun's side.

Xia Dongchun met her in the inner room. At this time, Xia Dongchun had taken off her hairpins and rings, put on her hair bun, and was sitting in front of the dressing table. Baoying came in and bowed first: "Your servant greets Concubine Zhao."

Xia Dongchun waved his hand: "Stand up and talk."

"Yes, thank you, Madam." Baoying said seriously, "Madam, I came here this time because I have something important to report to you."

"What's the matter?" Xia Dongchun paused while taking off her earrings and met Baoying's eyes in the bronze mirror.

Baoying bowed her head slightly: "I don't know why, An promised to let me find out what spices the queen uses now. I suspect... An promised to murder the queen by using the spices."

Xia Dongchun put the earrings back into the dressing box and turned to look at Baoying: "I understand. You should be more careful when you go back. An Lingrong is a sensitive person. If she finds out that something is wrong with you, she may not treat you any differently on the surface, but I'm afraid she will harm you secretly."

"Yes, I understand. Thank you for reminding me, Madam." Baoying nodded, with a hint of gratitude in her tone. "I will never forget your kindness, Madam. I am happy to be able to do something for you."

Xia Dongchun smiled and said, "I didn't do anything. I just said hello to the Nanny from the Ministry of Punishment."

"If it weren't for the Majesty's call, I might have been tortured to death in the Ministry of Punishment. Although this may be just a piece of cake for the Majesty, it is a life-saving grace to me." Baoying said seriously.

"No matter what, you still have to be more careful." Xia Dongchun said again.

Baoying nodded heavily: "I will."

"Okay, you should go back quickly too. The longer you stay out, the easier it will be for people to notice something is wrong." Although Xia Dongchun wanted to find out An Lingrong's whereabouts through Baoying, she didn't want to see Baoying being killed for this.

Baoying didn't stay any longer. Although it was not her turn to stay tonight, as Xia Dongchun said, it would be better for her to go back as soon as possible to reduce the risk.

So he took his leave.

After Baoying left, Yunling combed Xia Dongchun's hair while asking, "Madam, I think Baoying is right. An Ying is good at making incense. She asked about the spices you used. She must want to tamper with them. Wasn't it because of the scar-removing glue made by An Yingying that Madam Wanpin had a miscarriage?"

Xia Dongchun thought the same thing: "Since An Lingrong wants to start with the spices, let's satisfy her. Tomorrow you will go to Sui Yu Xuan with me."

"Your Majesty wants to..." Yun Ling guessed, "Scar-Removing Gel?"

"The matter of the scar-removing glue has not been exposed by Wanpin yet. Since An promised to use spices to harm people again, we naturally cannot let go of this 'precious' scar-removing glue." Xia Dongchun raised the corners of his mouth, "I just don't know if Wanpin intends to expose this matter now."

"Empress Wan has never revealed this matter before, but it is because the matter has already passed and the blame has been taken by Nian. If it is mentioned again, An will easily avoid it by saying that she was framed." Yun Ling said, "But if the Queen gives Empress Wan a suitable reason and opportunity this time, I think Empress Wan will not want to let go of the real culprit who killed her child."

"I hope so." Xia Dongchun sighed and stood up. "Forget it, this is all for tomorrow. I'm tired too. Please help me rest first."

"Yes." Yun Ling helped Xia Dongchun lie down, lowered the bed curtains, and then stood by.

The next day, after paying respects to the Queen, Xia Dongchun stopped Zhen Huan and Concubine Chun who were about to leave and said, "My Lady Wanpin, I wonder if you are free. I would like to sit with you for a while."

Zhen Huan looked at Xia Dongchun, thought for a moment, and agreed: "Since Concubine Zhao wants to come, there is no reason for me to refuse. You are most welcome."

So Xia Dongchun went to Suiyuxuan with Zhen Huan and Chunpin.

When they arrived at the Sui Yuxuan, Zhen Huan dismissed the other palace maids and eunuchs, leaving only Huanbi and Yunling in the room.

"I wonder if there is something that has brought Concubine Zhao here today?" Zhen Huan's opinion of Xia Dongchun has changed a lot. Although Xia Dongchun seemed very arrogant on the day of the selection, the two of them have never been enemies since entering the palace. Xia Dongchun has even helped her twice, so Zhen Huan's attitude towards Xia Dongchun has also changed a lot.

Xia Dongchun didn't have any special thoughts about Zhen Huan. Now she and Zhen Huan had no conflict of interest. Zhen Huan had never plotted against her or harmed her, so she was willing to not offend each other. But if one day Zhen Huan blocked her interests, she would naturally not be like now.

"I came here mainly to ask about the scar-removing glue," Xia Dongchun said. "I got the news that An Lingrong was asking about the spices I used. I don't think she has any good intentions, so I wanted to remind Concubine Wan that the time has come to avenge that child."

Zhen Huan was also very smart. She quickly realized what Xia Dongchun meant. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "What is Concubine Zhao's plan?"

"Isn't she going to do something with the spices I use?" Xia Dongchun smiled, "Then I will grant her wish."

Zhen Huan nodded and told Huanbi, "Go and get the remaining trace-removing glue in my dressing table."

Huanbi received the instruction and quickly went to get the things and placed them on the kang table in the middle of the Luohan bed.

"I heard that Concubine Zhao was bitten by a snake in the Old Summer Palace, leaving a shallow scar," Zhen Huan said with a hint of meaning, "This scar-removing glue was given to me by An, and it is very effective in removing scars. Although it takes a while, I think it is still useful. If Concubine Zhao doesn't mind, you can use it."

Xia Dongchun and Zhen Huan looked at each other and asked Yun Ling to accept the scar-removing glue: "Then I would like to thank Concubine Wan."
