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

After feeding her the tranquilizer, Concubine Hua returned Wen Yi to the nurse and said, "That's enough. Carry the princess away. If she cries all night again, use this method."

Although the wet nurses did not agree in their hearts, they still agreed verbally when Concubine Hua spoke.

After the wet nurses carried Wen Yi away, Concubine Hua got off the couch, put on her shoes, yawned, and went back to sleep.

Songzhi looked at her back, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

The next day, Yinzhen came to Yikun Palace for breakfast after court. He saw Wen Yi's wet nurse in the courtyard and frowned and asked, "Wen Yi is here?"

Hua Fei had just bowed, and when she heard this, her face did not blush or her heart skipped a beat: "Concubine Cao has been feeling unwell these past two days, and she was worried that she could not take good care of the princess, so she sent the princess to me first."

Yinzhen nodded, and walked into the house without saying anything more. Concubine Hua glared at the wet nurses, signaling them to mind their mouths, and quickly followed Yinzhen's steps: "Your Majesty, I specially asked someone to make the shark skin chicken soup that Your Majesty likes to eat today."

Yanxi Palace

Xia Dongchun was having breakfast when Yun Ling whispered, "My lady, I heard that Concubine Cao took Princess Wen Yi to Yikun Palace yesterday, but when she came back, she left the princess there."

Xia Dongchun's hand holding the spoon stopped in mid-air. Now that she had a daughter herself, she could better appreciate the love between mother and daughter. What's more, she didn't think Cao Qinmo was the kind of person who would abandon her daughter to seek protection from Concubine Hua. If that was the case... that meant that Concubine Hua wanted to keep the princess in Yikun Palace?

But in this case, doesn't Cao Qinmo have any resentment towards Concubine Hua? After all, her own daughter was taken away from her.

If it were her, she would definitely not be able to devote herself to Concubine Hua as she did before.

"Is Cao Qinmo willing for Princess Wen Yi to stay in Yikun Palace?" Xia Dongchun asked.

After all, every time they had a meal, she would ask everyone except Yunling to leave, so it was much easier to talk.

Yun Ling smiled and said, "As a mother, how can I be calm when I see my child being taken away by others? But from what I have seen, even if Lady Cao is unhappy, she probably won't dare to show it."

"That's right. I heard that she has been relying on Concubine Hua ever since she entered the palace. It goes without saying that she has been relying on Concubine Hua ever since the Emperor ascended the throne. In that case, how could she easily fall out with Concubine Hua?" Xia Dongchun said after swallowing the food in his mouth.

"Fortunately, the emperor himself promised to keep Ling Yuan by my side. As long as the emperor doesn't ask for it, no one can take Ling Yuan away from me." After hearing about Princess Wen Yi, Xia Dongchun couldn't help but think of his own daughter.

"That's right. Princess Wen Yi can be kept by Concubine Cao because Concubine Hua asked for it on her behalf. She is different from us." Ling Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay, we are almost done with breakfast. Didn't Aunt Zhuxi from the Queen Mother's side come to tell her yesterday that the Queen Mother wanted to see Ling Yuan today? We should go to Shoukang Palace quickly. We can't let the Queen Mother wait."

……

After breakfast, Xia Dongchun took Ling Yuan and the wet nurse to Shoukang Palace to pay their respects to the empress dowager.

Ever since Qi Ling said those words, she has been in a bad mood for the past two days, racking her brains to do something to prove herself so that Xia Dongchun would forget her words as soon as possible.

So she would go to the Imperial Garden to hang around and daydream whenever she had time. Anyway, Xia Dongchun seldom asked her to do anything in the past two days, so it was convenient for her.

After staying outside for nearly half an hour, Qi Ling estimated that Xia Dongchun would soon return from Shoukang Palace, so she planned to return to Yanxi Palace.

Unexpectedly, when she was about to leave, she suddenly heard a voice, which vaguely sounded like the voice of Concubine Cao. She subconsciously thought that this might be a good opportunity for her to make a contribution, so she quickly hid herself and planned to listen to what this person had to say.

"My lady, please think of a way to bring the princess back. The princess was suddenly separated from her mother. The Yikun Palace is filled with incense every day. The fragrance is very strong. The princess is still young and can't adapt to it. She cries all night. The servants tried their best to comfort her, but it still angered Concubine Hua. In a rage, Concubine Hua asked someone to feed the princess sedatives. The princess is still young, how can she drink such things? But you also know Concubine Hua's temper. How can we persuade her?"

The wet nurse had also been taking care of Wen Yi. As humans are not plants or trees, she felt very distressed to see Wen Yi suffer like this.

After hearing this, Concubine Cao's eyes were filled with tears, and the handkerchief in her hand was torn out of shape: "She actually treated Wen Yi like this... It's in vain that I gave her advice, I, I..."

Concubine Cao almost gasped: "But you also know that I am insignificant and my words are not taken seriously. I can only think of another way to bring Wen Yi back. During this period of time, you have to take care of Wen Yi more. I will think of a way as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, my lady. I have been watching the princess all the time. I cannot bear to see her like this. Please find a way to bring the princess back as soon as possible. I will be grateful for that." said the wet nurse.

Concubine Cao nodded.

Qi Ling's eyes flashed in the dark - isn't this a good opportunity for her to make a contribution?

She had to go back quickly to tell the young lady the news!

But although Qi Ling was anxious, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she waited for Concubine Cao and her wet nurse to leave before she came out from the dark and hurried back to the Yanx Palace.

After this delay, when she returned to the Yanxi Palace, she saw that Xia Dongchun had returned with the princess.

Seeing Xia Dongchun enter the room without anyone else around, Qi Ling hurried in as well: "My lady, I have something important to report to you."

Two days later, Xia Dongchun was no longer so angry. Seeing her anxious look, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"I just heard the conversation between Concubine Cao and Princess Wen Yi's wet nurse in the Imperial Garden." Seeing that Xia Dongchun was willing to talk to her, Qi Ling's expression softened a lot, and she was more convinced that this news could help her. "Concubine Hua actually gave the princess tranquilizer!"

"What did you say?" Xia Dongchun almost suspected that she had heard it wrong. Princess Wen Yi was still so young, how could she take tranquilizers? What if she got sick from taking it? What should she do?

"It is absolutely true. I heard it with my own ears." Qi Ling was afraid that Xia Dongchun would not believe her, so she raised her hand to guarantee, "If this matter was not too sensational, I would not dare to tell you, young master."

Xia Dongchun lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. She had an idea in mind, but she still wanted to discuss it with Yun Ling before making a decision, so she said to Qi Ling: "I know, this news is thanks to you."

Qi Ling was very happy to be praised like this: "It's what I should do. It would be great if I could help you. My lady, should we tell the Emperor and the Empress?"

Xia Dongchun shook his head: "Let me think about it."

Qi Ling was a little disappointed, but still nodded: "I understand, I will wait for the young master's instructions."
