Lipin made the decision immediately and rushed to Yikun Palace with Ruomu.

Concubine Hua has been in a bad mood these past two days. The fact that Xia Dongchun was pregnant was already enough to make her upset, and then Zhen Huan showed up these two days.

Even though the emperor still often came to accompany her, it was much less than before.

Zhou Ninghai came in and announced that Lipin had arrived. Concubine Hua didn't want to see her, so Zhou Ninghai looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, but Lipin said she had something very important to report to you."

Concubine Hua looked annoyed and remained silent for a long time. Just when Zhou Ninghai was about to break out in a cold sweat, Concubine Hua spoke.

"Call her in. I want to hear what the important matter is."

Not long after, Lipin came in. As soon as she came in, she saluted in a panic: "Greetings to the Majesty, may the Majesty be blessed with good health."

Lingzhi beside Concubine Hua was fanning her. Concubine Hua covered her lips with a handkerchief and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"

Lipin was not too stupid. She looked at the maids serving around her. Hua Fei rolled her eyes at her, but still spoke up to dismiss the extra people: "You all go down first."

After everyone left, Lipin knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, save me!"

"What happened?" Hua Fei didn't expect her to kneel down directly. She slowly sat up straight and said, "You have to explain clearly."

Lipin felt a little guilty, but after hesitating for a moment, she said, "Noble Borjigit has a good family background, and after she recovered from her illness, she was quite favored by the emperor. I wanted to share your worries and teach Noble Borjigit a lesson, so I poured some osmanthus oil where she was admiring the flowers. Who knew that when she fell into the water, Noble Xia was also beside her..."

"What did you say?" Hua Fei suddenly became energetic. She glared at Li Fei with a look of disapproval, "Did you cause noble lady Borjigit to fall into the water?"

Lipin was glared at by her and lowered her head in fear: "Your Highness...Your Highness also wants to share your worries."

"Don't use me as a cover! Do you think I'm a fool?!" Concubine Hua has a bad temper and is domineering, but she is not completely stupid. Apart from other things, how could Concubine Li hide such an obvious trick from her?

Besides, she and Lipin have known each other for many years. How could she not tell whether Lipin was lying?

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Li was startled and dared not say a word.

"Don't you think about the family background of Concubine Borjigit? How dare you harm her?" Concubine Hua sneered, "What's more, she is not the best among the newcomers. If you really want to share my worries, you should think of a way to get rid of Shen Meizhuang or Concubine Fucha! You did something wrong and wanted me to save you, but you don't tell the truth?"

"I dare not! My majesty, I dare not!" Concubine Li was so frightened that she blurted out all her words at once, "Please forgive me, my majesty. I originally wanted to teach Lady Xia a lesson, but I didn't expect that the person who fell into the water would be Lady Borjigit..."

"Xia..." Concubine Hua thought for a week and finally understood, "You want to harm Xia's child?"

"Your concubine, your concubine..." Lipin almost lowered her head into her stomach, her voice trembling. She had not forgotten how crazy Concubine Hua went when she found out she had a miscarriage after drinking the pregnancy-preserving medicine brought by Concubine Duan when she was in the palace.

She was really afraid that Concubine Hua would associate this incident with what happened in the palace in the past, and not only would she be unwilling to help her, but she would also step on her again.

Concubine Hua looked down on people who used despicable means to harm other people's unborn babies, but this matter was none of her business after all, and the baby in Xia Dongchun's belly was not hers.

Besides, Lipin hadn't really done anything wrong, had she? If Lipin was discovered now, she would just lose a helper, so it would be better to save Lipin and just give her a few words of reprimand.

Thinking of this, Concubine Hua's expression became much better: "Alright, look how scared you are, you are not ashamed in front of me."

Hearing what Hua Fei said, Lipin knew that Hua Fei was not going to blame her. She wiped the tears from her face in a hurry and said, "Your Majesty, I really know I was wrong, but I have been childless for so many years. Once Xia Shi was favored, she got pregnant so quickly. I can't help but hate her!"

Concubine Hua was not angry at all, but when she heard what she said, she snatched the fan from Lingzhi's hand and threw it at her, glaring at her fiercely, her back teeth almost breaking: "Will you become dumb if you don't speak?"

Ruomu quietly tugged at Lipin's sleeve from behind and whispered, "Your Highness, please say less."

Only then did Lipin realize that she had said the wrong thing. Feeling uneasy, she quietly looked up at Huafei and obediently shut her mouth.

God have mercy on her, she really just wanted to talk about herself and had no intention of alluding to Concubine Hua.

Even if she had ten times the courage, she would not dare to ridicule Concubine Hua like this.

Fortunately, Concubine Hua knew her temper and understood that she was just being careless with her words and was not deliberately trying to anger her, so after calming down for a while, she said to Concubine Li: "To be honest, when we were in the palace, I supported you more, but now it seems that Cao Qinmo is much more fortunate. After all, she has a daughter by her side."

"Your Highness, you are joking. You are the lucky one." Lipin knew that she had said the wrong thing just now, so she was eager to make amends and flattered, "No matter how bad Cao Qinmo is, she just has a daughter. Your Highness, if you take care of yourself, you will definitely give the emperor a healthy little prince."

Although she knew that she was flattering her, Concubine Hua had to admit that she felt relieved after hearing these words.

"Alright, stop saying these things to please me." Hua Fei's anger subsided a little. "Tell me, you came to ask me for help, how can I save you?"

"At the moment, they haven't discovered that I was the one who did it." Lipin swallowed her saliva. Seeing that Hua Fei could speak calmly and was willing to help her, she was relieved. "I came to ask the queen just to be on the safe side, in case Xia Shi holds on to this matter."

Hua Fei raised her chin and eyebrows, her tone full of confidence and arrogance: "What's the problem? If she dares to hold on to this matter by relying on what she has in her belly, I will naturally have my own way to teach her the rules."

"Your Majesty is wise." After hearing these words, Concubine Li knew that she was safe.

"But..." Concubine Hua changed the subject, "If you keep it a secret from me next time before you do something, and come to me when something really goes wrong, don't blame me for turning my face against you! Remember?"

"I will keep your Majesty's teachings in mind!" After this incident, Concubine Li never dared to make any decisions in private again.
