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

"Early this morning, Concubine Hua came to pay her respects and told me about what happened to Concubine Li last night." Although the Queen Mother was old, she could still tell that she must have been a beauty when she was young. Her aunt Zhuxi helped her sit down on the upper seat, "Concubine Li is no longer useful and is acting crazy. You'd better move her out quickly and don't disturb the peace of your Jingren Palace."

"My Empress..." When the Queen heard what the Queen Mother said, she knew that she was not going to continue the investigation and felt a little unwilling.

The Queen Mother's expression remained unchanged: "I heard that Concubine Li also mentioned the child in Concubine Xia's belly?"

Even though she knew the Queen Mother was deliberately changing the subject, the Queen had to swallow her anger for the time being and answered respectfully, "Yes, Lipin's words mentioned that she had instigated Yu to poison Concubine Wan. I think Yu's poisoning of Concubine Xia with the intention of murdering the heir to the throne was also instructed by Lipin."

The Queen Mother stared at the Queen for a long while, her eyebrows moved slightly, and then she said: "Lipin has behaved like this, she really can't be kept, but considering that she has served the Emperor, she will not be punished, and will be sent to the cold palace."

"Yes, I will follow the Empress Dowager's order." There was a flash of reluctance in the Queen's eyes, but since the Queen Mother had spoken, she had no choice but to agree in front of all the concubines. She couldn't lose face for the Queen Mother.

"Lady Xia." The Queen Mother looked at Xia Dongchun, who had been keeping her head down. "How has your health been recently? Has the imperial physician come to check your pulse every day?"

Xia Dongchun was called by the empress dowager, and she stood up and bowed again in a proper manner, lowering her head and saying softly, "I am very grateful for your concern, Your Majesty. Everything has been fine these days. The imperial physician comes to check my pulse every day and says that the baby in my belly is very healthy. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

Hearing that the heir in her belly was safe and healthy, the empress dowager's face finally looked better. After letting Xia Dongchun sit down, she half reminded and half warned the others: "You are all the emperor's concubines. The most important thing is to serve His Majesty, to give birth to children for His Majesty, and to continue the heirs of the Qing Dynasty. I definitely don't want to see Lipin's things again. If any of you have any evil thoughts again, don't blame me for being merciless."

"Yes, we will follow the Queen Mother's teachings and dare not disobey." Everyone answered in unison.

Because the Queen Mother came to Jingren Palace in person today to decide on the treatment of Concubine Li, everyone just sat in Jingren Palace for a while and then left.

Xia Dongchun was with Noblewoman Borjigit as usual. Unexpectedly, as soon as she left the Jingren Palace, Noblewoman Fucha came up to her and said, "Noblewoman Xia, are you going to the Zhongcui Palace to talk with Noblewoman Borjigit? Why don't we go together?"

Noblewoman Borjigit was a little surprised at Noblewoman Fucha's closeness, but she quickly concealed her surprise and smiled, "I'm afraid it's not very convenient. Noblewoman Xia wants to have breakfast in my palace, and Noblewoman Fucha suddenly decided to come over. I shouldn't have refused, but this breakfast didn't have Noblewoman Fucha prepared, which is rude after all, so let's get together next time and forget about it today."

The smile on Noble Lady Fucha's face froze for a moment, then she quickly pulled the corners of her lips and maintained the smile on her face: "That's really unfortunate, I'll go next time."

After saying this, without waiting for anyone to answer, he turned around and left in a hurry with Sang'er.

She had never been so angry before! Noble Lady Fucha was holding back her anger all the way. She finally put aside her previous grudge with Xia Dongchun and approached her to talk, but she was rejected? It was obvious that Noble Lady Borjigit was short-sighted. She was obviously closer to her family background, but she insisted on getting so close to Xia Dongchun!

However, noblewoman Borjigit and Xia Dongchun were walking side by side on the palace road, talking all the way, their voices were not loud, and only a few people around them could hear them.

"Sister, have you seen what's happening today? It seems that Concubine Hua is going to cut off one of her arms and sacrifice Concubine Li to save herself." Although Lady Borjigit didn't talk much outside, she could always see the current situation clearly at a glance.

Xia Dongchun admired him very much. If Yunling was not by her side, she might not be able to understand some things. But Borjigit did not have a Yunling who was reborn by his side, yet he could still see everything clearly. Xia Dongchun had to silently admit in her heart that Borjigit was still a little smarter than her.

"It seems so, otherwise Concubine Hua would not have gone to the Queen Mother so early in the morning." Xia Dongchun frowned slightly, "The Queen Mother only mentioned that Concubine Li was the one who did it. It seems that no matter what the truth is, this matter can only end like this."

"But in my opinion, the Queen Mother will not let Concubine Hua choose her out so easily." Borjigit Noblewoman frowned and spoke hesitantly, with some speculation in her voice. "Concubine Hua is usually disrespectful to the Queen. After all, the Queen Mother is also the Queen's mother's family. How could she side with an outsider?"

"That's true," Xia Dongchun naturally told Borjigit what she had learned in advance, "Who knows, maybe the Queen Mother will take this opportunity to temporarily seize Hua Fei's power to assist in managing the six palaces."

Borjigit's eyes lit up, he looked at Xia Dongchun and smiled: "Yeah, why didn't I think of it?"

"I was just guessing what my sister meant." Xia Dongchun smiled calmly, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's hurry up and go to my sister's palace. Even if my sister doesn't care about me, she should at least think about whether the baby in my belly is hungry."

"You." Borjigit couldn't help laughing, stretched out his finger and gently tapped Xia Dongchun's nose, "Okay, okay, then let's go back and have breakfast."

After the concubines left, the Queen followed the Queen Mother to Shoukang Palace. The Queen sighed, "The Queen Mother has listened to your nonsense for a long time. I'm afraid she must be tired of it. Have a drink of water and take a rest first."

The Queen Mother raised her eyelids and glanced at her: "It is rare for me to hear such novel nonsense."

"It's alright, Your Majesty. I will ask the imperial physician to treat Concubine Li well," said the Queen.

"No need for that. Such crazy words are already unpleasant enough, not to mention what she will say after she wakes up," said the Queen Mother. "I still say the same thing. Move her out of Jingren Palace immediately to avoid dirtying your place."

The Queen said anxiously: "But Queen Mother, Lipin said it was Concubine Hua——"

"Hua Fei? Even if it was really Hua Fei who ordered it, so what? You can't believe a madman's words." The Queen Mother knew at a glance that she couldn't wait to take this opportunity to teach Hua Fei a lesson, but how shrewd was the Queen Mother? She knew that she couldn't do anything to Hua Fei this time.
