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

Just as Xia Dongchun and the others had expected, after Baoying was sent to the Ministry of Punishment to perform hard labor, Noble Lady Fucha did live in peace for a while. At least during this period, Xia Dongchun seldom heard Noble Lady Fucha's sarcastic remarks about An Lingrong.

On this day, Xia Dongchun was making sachets when Qi Ling came in and said, "My lady, the emperor's little Xiazi is here."

"Please come in." Xiao Xiazi is a person close to Yinzhen, and also a disciple of Su Peisheng. Su Peisheng is an old eunuch who has followed him since he was in the palace. Naturally, Xiao Xiazi's status is different from that of other young eunuchs, so Xia Dongchun treats Xiao Xiazi very well.

Qi Ling retreated, and soon Xiao Xiazi came in: "Greetings to Consort Xia."

Xia Dongchun asked him to stand up: "Xiao Xiazi, why are you here? What does the emperor want?"

Xiao Xiazi bowed and smiled, "Yes, the emperor asked me to tell you that I will come to your place tonight."

"I understand. Thank you for making this trip." Xia Dongchun looked at Yunling, "Yunling."

Yunling understood and handed Xiao Xiazi a purse. Xiao Xiazi smiled happily, said a few auspicious words, and then left.

"My lady, if Noble Lady Fucha sees this, she will probably be furious again." Yun Ling said.

Xia Dongchun looked at the sachet in her hand, on which she had embroidered a magnolia pattern. When she heard Yun Ling's words, she chuckled, "Are you angry? Then let her be angry. I still remember the last time she tried to slander me. Although she has a good family background, we will not let her bully us."

"Yes." Yun Ling was very happy that she thought so. Although she was worried that Xia Dongchun would be as reckless and impulsive as in the previous life, she also didn't want Xia Dongchun to be too restrained because of these things. Now she was happy to hear her say this.

"By the way, I will go and talk to the Queen after she wakes up from her nap at noon. Please remind me then so that I don't forget." Xia Dongchun instructed Yun Ling.

Yun Ling reassured her: "Don't worry, young lady. How could I dare to forget such a thing? I will definitely call you when the time comes."

Only then did Xia Dongchun feel relieved.

Noble Lady Fucha couldn't stay in the Yanx Palace these past two days. Somehow she got in touch with Concubine Qi and kept running to the Changchun Palace. That's why she is not in the Yanx Palace today.

An Lingrong finally found an opportunity and brought Baojuan to Xia Dongchun.

When Qi Ling saw An Lingrong, she remembered that day when she wanted to drag Xia Dongchun into the water. She felt very unhappy, but in the end, she was concerned about the difference between master and servant, so she bowed and asked, "Greetings to An Da Ying. What does An Da Ying want to do when she comes here?"

It was already the end of the year and the weather was getting colder. An Lingrong was weak to begin with, and when she was blown by the wind outside, she couldn't help coughing twice. Baojuan quickly patted her back to help her calm down.

Seeing this, Qi Ling was very dissatisfied, fearing that An Lingrong would pass the disease on to her own mistress. The Emperor was coming over tonight, and what would happen if her own mistress got sick?

"You are Qi Ling, right? Please tell her that I need to see Concubine Xia for something." After An Lingrong finished coughing, she stated her purpose.

Qi Ling hesitated for a moment before saying, "An agreed to wait for a moment, and I will pass the message on."

"Okay." An Lingrong agreed.

Qi Ling lifted the thick curtain and went into the house. Xia Dongchun saw her coming in again and couldn't help but wonder: "Qi Ling? What's wrong? It's not your turn today. Why don't you go back to the house and rest in such a cold day?"

It's cold now, and Xia Dongchun can't be used, and he doesn't feel comfortable with the rest of the people serving, so he simply lets Yun Ling arrange their duty hours and only leaves two people to serve every day.

Qi Ling pursed her lips: "An promised to stay outside and said he had something to say to the young lady."

Xia Dongchun was stunned, thinking she had heard wrongly: "An Lingrong? She wants to see me? She has something to say to me?"

"Yes." Qi Ling nodded.

"I have nothing to say to her!" Xia Dongchun still hated An Lingrong as always.

"Then I will go back and tell you that the weather is cold and you should take a rest. And ask An to promise to come back another day?" Qi Ling asked.

"Wait a moment." Yun Ling stopped Qi Ling and turned to Xia Dongchun and said, "My lady, why don't you listen to what An Da Ying is going to say? That will give you some idea."

In this palace, the person Xia Dongchun trusted the most was Yun Ling, and she was the one who listened to Yun Ling the most. Upon hearing Yun Ling's words, she said, "Then please ask her to come in. I want to see what she has to say."

"Yes, I'll go right away." Qi Ling agreed and turned around to go out and call An Lingrong.

When Qi Ling came out, Baojuan was about to say something, but when she saw Qi Ling, she closed her mouth again. Qi Ling was cautious and looked at Baojuan one more time.

Baojuan followed An Lingrong in.

Xia Dongchun still has some respect in front of Yinzhen now. Besides, her status and family background are better than An Lingrong's, so her room is much warmer than An Lingrong's.

An Lingrong felt the difference as soon as she came in, but she just pursed her lips and said nothing.

"I heard from Qi Ling that you have something to say to me?" Xia Dongchun was still sitting on the couch, holding the half-embroidered sachet in her hand, without even raising her eyes. She was not the kind of person who would hide things, and what's more, An Lingrong had really offended her, so her dislike for An Lingrong was also shown on the surface.

An Lingrong guessed that Xia Dongchun would have this attitude, but when she really faced it, she still felt helpless and didn't know what to do. But she had to say it, so she hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.

"What happened a few days ago was really not my intention," An Lingrong stammered in a low voice, "and caused Concubine Lei Xia to be innocently implicated... After I went back, I thought about it and felt that what I said that day was really inappropriate, so I came to apologize to Concubine Xia. I hope Concubine Xia can be magnanimous and forgive my unintentional mistake this time."

"Unintentional mistake?" Xia Dongchun thought she was going to say something important, but it turned out to be something like this. She sneered, "On the day of the palace selection, you spilled scalding tea on my clothes and almost made me lose my manners in front of the palace. After entering the palace, you said it was an unintentional mistake, so I didn't bother you again, right?"

An Lingrong knew from her tone that she didn't mean to forgive her, but the words had already been spoken, and she couldn't just turn around and leave.

I can only think of a way to explain: "I..."

Unfortunately, Xia Dongchun didn't give her the chance and interrupted her directly: "A few days ago, you were embarrassed by Noble Fucha. Although I didn't mean to help you, I did stop Noble Fucha for you, right? What was the result? Noble Fucha wanted to embarrass you, and you couldn't get away with it, so you wanted to drag me into it?"

An Lingrong's eyes were red: "I have been thinking about it day and night since I went back. The more I think about it, the more guilty I feel. That's why I came to apologize to Chang Zai..."

"If you were sincerely apologizing, you wouldn't make excuses like 'it was an unintentional mistake'!" Xia Dongchun glanced at her, "Go away. I have nothing to say to you."
