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

Xia Dongchun was questioned by Concubine Hua. She took a few deep breaths before she could finally speak smoothly: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't trust you, but the Queen has not had a headache in the past few days and can handle the affairs of the six palaces. This matter also concerns the heir to the throne. I thought that Concubine Hua would not dare to take the initiative, so I spoke up to remind you. I hope you will think twice."

Hua Fei chuckled and walked gracefully to Xia Dongchun. They were very close to each other, their breaths intertwined, and Xia Dongchun was about to collapse.

"Empress Hua, what Noble Lady Xia said makes sense. She is also concerned about your reputation." Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Meizhuang hurriedly spoke up to rescue Xia Dongchun. Although she and Xia Dongchun were not on good terms, Xia Dongchun's goal was the same as theirs. If Xia Dongchun couldn't hold on and was defeated, and Concubine Hua really took Lipin away, then their efforts would have been in vain.

Concubine Hua brushed away Song Zhi's hand that was supporting her. No matter how stupid she was, she could see that this time Zhen Huan, Shen Meiyu, Xia Dongchun and the others had planned it out. They wanted to keep her here and wait for someone to inform the old lady, the Queen!

"Zhou Ninghai, go back to the palace!" Hua Fei figured it out and didn't want to bother with them any more. She decisively ordered Zhou Ninghai to take Lipin back to Yikun Palace.

"Your Majesty!" Zhen Huan was anxious when she saw that she couldn't stop them. Could it be that the Queen hadn't heard the noise yet? They were making quite a lot of noise here, which shouldn't have happened.

Just as everyone was at a stalemate and Concubine Hua was about to take everyone away, Jiang Fuhai's voice came: "The Queen has arrived--!"

Concubine Hua's face changed. Once the old lady the Queen came and heard what Concubine Li said, she would definitely seize this opportunity and give her a hard time!

But no matter what, in just a few breaths, the queen appeared in front of everyone.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and longevity." No matter what, the Queen has arrived, and everyone has to pay their respects first.

No matter what Concubine Hua was thinking, she could only restrain herself and bowed properly for the first time: "Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen."

The empress got down from the sedan chair, supported by Jianqiu, with Huichun and Jiang Fuhai following her side. She was wearing a bright yellow peony, red phoenix and rising sun flag dress, which was very majestic and eye-catching in the dark night. The empress raised her eyelids and walked slowly to the crowd.

As soon as she arrived, she noticed that Lipin was covered by Zhou Ninghai's mouth, and immediately frowned: "Zhou Ninghai, how dare you, a servant, cover Lipin's mouth?"

However, Zhou Ninghai did not let go of Concubine Li directly, but looked at Concubine Hua first.

The Queen had a cold face and glanced at Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua cleared her throat. Cao Qinmo didn't come today, and no one could help her think of a solution. She could only save herself. Her mind raced for a long time before she finally spoke in silence: "Your Majesty, you don't know that Concubine Li just acted inappropriately. I think her symptoms are a bit like insanity, so I asked Zhou Ninghai to cover her mouth and take her back to Yikun Palace for resettlement."

The Queen seemed unconvinced: "Oh? If that's the case, you should also send Lipin back to Qixiang Palace and ask the imperial physician to take a look. How can you bring her back to Yikun Palace and disturb your peace?"

This was the first time that Concubine Hua felt so guilty in front of the Queen, and it was also the first time that she had such a good attitude: "I think that Princess Wen Yi is ill, and Concubine Cao is worried about her. If Concubine Li is in this state, if she is sent back to Qixiang Palace, it may not be conducive to Princess Wen Yi's recovery."

"You can't cover her mouth like that!" The Queen sensed something was wrong. Usually, Concubine Hua was always respectful to her, so why was she so good-tempered today? There must be something fishy going on. Since Concubine Hua wanted to take Concubine Li away, she couldn't let Concubine Hua do what she wanted!

"It would not be good for Concubine Li to go to Yiku Palace in this condition. It would be better for me to take her back to Jingren Palace for settlement." The Queen's words shocked Concubine Hua so much that she almost couldn't maintain the respectful expression on her face.

Concubine Hua met the Queen's gaze and said neither yes nor no, and the situation remained at a stalemate.

After a long while, Concubine Hua managed to force a smile: "Lipin is crazy now, how can we let her go to Jingren Palace to disturb the Empress? Let me take her back."

"How dare you!" The Queen took advantage of Concubine Hua's guilty conscience and didn't dare to argue with her. She scolded her harshly, "Jingren Palace is so big, are you afraid that it can't accommodate a Concubine Li? Or... Concubine Hua, are you trying to hide something?"

While Concubine Hua was stunned, the Queen said to Zhou Ninghai, "Why don't you let Concubine Li go? Do you want me to punish you for disrespect?!"

Zhou Ninghai looked at Concubine Hua with some embarrassment. Even if Concubine Hua usually didn't give the Queen face, he was just a servant, so he couldn't really ignore the Queen's words, right? Besides, if he really angered the Queen, the Queen would punish him as a servant, and even the Emperor would be speechless.

Hua Fei also understood this truth, so she could only wave her hand reluctantly at Zhou Ninghai: "Let her go."

As soon as Lipin was released, she immediately got up, not caring about her manners and image. She quickly ran to the Queen's side, knelt down with a plop, and tightly grasped the Queen's clothes with both hands: "Queen, Queen, save me, Yu is coming to kill me! It was not me who asked her to harm Concubine Wan and Concubine Xia, Queen, save me!"

"What did you say?" The Queen's face changed, she could hardly suppress the joy in her heart. It was really easy to get it. Normally, some trivial things were not enough to make Yinzhen angry with Concubine Hua. But this time, Zhen Huan was involved and it was related to the royal heir. She didn't believe it. Even so, could Yinzhen not be angry with Concubine Hua?

"Empress, Lipin is just talking nonsense." When Concubine Hua heard Lipin say this, she wanted to fight for it again. In this situation, she could no longer pretend to be docile and respectful. She simply brought up Yinzhen to pressure the Empress, "Why not let me take her back? After all, the Emperor trusts me, so he lets me help manage the six palaces."

It can be seen that Concubine Hua was really anxious and even moved Yinzhen out.

But the queen was really caught in her trap and hesitated.

The situation once again reached a stalemate.

Hua Fei seemed to be certain that the Queen would fall for this, and her expression became smug again.

At this moment, Zhen Huan was the first to bow: "Your Highness, I respectfully send you off."

Seeing this, the others followed suit and said in unison: "Your Highness, we respectfully send off the Queen."

In a place where no one was paying attention, Xia Dongchun and Nobleman Borjigit looked at each other and smiled.
